Chapter 520: Chapter 503 Starting Today as Secret Realm People
Within the Secret Realm, there are actually humans present.
Just this fact alone was beyond everyone’s expectations...
It seems that the Original Blue Star is not only home to Demon Beasts but also has the presence of humans.
The status of humans is even much higher than that of the Demon Beasts, and now, having invaded the Secret Realm and penetrated this deep, they have finally drawn the attention of these humans.
This is how there came to be a letter delivered by the Demon Beasts.
Although the other party is a Demon Beast, it can speak human language, continuously proclaiming that during the battle between two countries, no envoys shall be killed.
Though it is unclear where this rule originates.
But in a situation where their weapons have not yet arrived, Carlos dared not take any action to provoke the other side.
He simply ordered his subordinates to retrieve the letter and then let the Demon Beast go.
However, the content of the letter made him frown involuntarily, as he couldn’t understand it.
And indeed...
The writing seemed to be in the Great Xia Language, but more simplified, clearly a script bestowed by an entirely different culture.
"Go call a Xia Country translator."
He ordered.
A moment later, the translator arrived.
Looking at the letter, his face showed some bitterness, exclaiming, "This is not Xia Country’s script."
Carlos asked, "Can you understand it?"
"I can."
The translator said, "Although it’s not Xia Country’s script, it seems to be derived from a similar lineage. With some guessing, the meaning isn’t hard to deduce."
As he spoke, he stammered through the translation, "You barbarians, resentful robbers, don’t appreciate the grace of the Celestial Empire and now offend our Yanhuang Clan..."
"Yanhuang Clan?"
Yanhuang Clan?
Carlos frowned, wondering what kind of race this was...
The content of the letter was very simple.
In summary, they have now intruded upon their territory, and if they withdraw in time, there will be no trouble for either party.
Otherwise, they bear the consequences themselves.
"So, this is a threat to us?"
Carlos laughed and said, "These Demon Beasts are being defeated by us at every turn, yet they still have the audacity to threaten us. No need to pay them any mind, just wait calmly for our weapons to arrive; then we need not worry about the environment, and to prevent any prolonged issues, we’ll simply wipe them out with long-range weapons."
"And the letter?"
"Using written communication is hardly a sign of weakness on their part, suggesting they’re afraid of us."
Carlos chuckled proudly.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
As more human troops arrived.
The Ancient Tree asked, "What do you mean by sending this letter? Now that our forces are assembled, striking them unexpectedly is the right move, but instead, you inform them of your presence..."
"This is also to disentangle the Great Xia Empire."
Xu Lingjun spread his hands and said, "The Great Xia Empire and Baoxue Empire are two of the Three Great Empires on Blue Star. If a battle really breaks out, in order to deal with the Great Xia Empire, they will certainly recruit reinforcements at the first opportunity. What I want is to completely annihilate this force, so from today onward, we are the Secret Realm People. The letter was merely to gain their trust."
And indeed...
To gain their trust, Xu Lingjun used Simplified Chinese, which he hadn’t written in over two decades.
Following ancient war culture, he specially sent a letter before the two armies clashed.
The Great Xia Empire doesn’t have this tradition.
Xu Lingjun looked at the Ancient Tree and asked, "By the way, I remember you mentioned before that you can observe the enemy’s movements by converting plants into your own perspective?"
The Ancient Tree nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then you’re our most natural reconnaissance soldier."
"But those areas plowed by nuclear bombs are barren, I can’t extend my perspective there... and that area is exactly where they are most active."
The Ancient Tree smiled bitterly, "So the help I can provide might be very minimal."
"It’s okay, I have a way, though it requires the help of Spirit Stones."
"During this time, you’ve come up with various reasons to take several Spirit Stones from me."
"Because I need the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones to stimulate the plants."
Xu Lingjun said, "Let me teach you something not commonly known: Have you heard of the Ginkgo Tree?"
The Ancient Tree shook its head.
She had really never heard of this name.
Xu Lingjun said, "This is the only plant impervious to nuclear radiation, and if properly planted, it can sprout in three days..."
Taking out a jet-black seed from his hand, he said, "This is a Ginkgo Tree seed. This tree is incredibly resilient, resistant to radiation, and once planted, it can sprout in three days. Once the Ginkgo Tree sprouts, you can use their perspective to observe the movements of these Baoxue Empire people."
Xu Lingjun’s gaze fell on the seed in his hand.
[Detected a false item: Ginkgo Tree Seed. Would you like to endow it with true origin? It will consume 5 Source Value!]
This seed did not originally exist in this world.
But now, with the arrival of his guards, plus the Ancient Tree and the surrounding Demon Beasts...
He can easily give it origin.
The Ancient Tree asked, "How do we plant these seeds on their land?"
"I will personally take action."
Xu Lingjun thought that this was probably the only limitation. After assigning talent source, only when I plant it does it count as valid...
No way around it, since only I can use it?
Fortunately, planting this isn’t all that difficult, with the Invisibility Device and all those high-tech weapons available.
