Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 204: Chapter 7 Moonfall City Party

“The recent turmoil in the Beastman Empire at the border with True Martial Country has also caused Azure Dragon Academy to issue orders, specifically to train the students!” Wenren Canglan discussed the disturbances in the Beastman Empire.

Heavenly Martial Continent’s Three Thousand States, vast and boundless.

There are old kingdoms controlled by humans, the Demon Kingdoms controlled by the Demon Clan, and the Beastman Empires controlled by Beastmen.

These kingdoms constantly strive against each other, with wars breaking out every year.

However, the Beastman Empire neighboring True Martial Country had not initiated war for many years, but now it again suddenly rose in rebellion, unilaterally tearing up the peace treaty signed with True Martial Country in the past, causing a huge uproar within True Martial Country.

Lin Feng said, “Hasn’t the Beastman Empire always been at peace with True Martial Country? Why are they now invading True Martial Country?”

Wenren Canglan said, “There are rumors that the Demon Dao is involved in this matter, but whether the Demon Dao actually took part cannot be conclusively determined.”

The Three Thousand States have their own rules. Top-level forces like the Ancient Force and some old forces of the Demon Dao, such as the Soul Devouring Hall, must not partake in mundane imperial wars, otherwise, they will be encircled and annihilated by the other great forces.

Because of this, generally, no one openly challenges the default rules of the Three Thousand States.

However, it’s also very possible that some forces, unwilling to remain inactive, manipulate things from behind.

Lin Feng said, “Then this matter can’t simply be seen as an attack by the Beastman Empire.”

“Lord Prefecture Master has already rushed to Sun Moon City to report this matter. If there is indeed a strong force of the Demon Dao involved, they will surely be intercepted by Sun Moon City. However, the Beastman Empire is not easy to deal with. The land of the Beastman Empire is relatively barren, and the Beastmen are naturally warlike. Once they wage war, it will surely bring about a storm of blood and gore.”

Wenren Canglan was slightly worried. Being a martial artist from True Martial Country, he naturally hoped for peace and prosperity in his country and did not wish to see war, for war often meant bloodshed and death.

How many innocent people would lose their families and lives due to war?

Lin Feng asked, “I just don’t know what we individuals heading to the frontier can do?”

Wenren Canglan smiled and said, “When the time comes, someone will arrange for you to do specific tasks.”

After chatting for a while longer, Lin Feng took his leave from Wenren Canglan.

As the saying goes, the rise and fall of a nation are every citizen’s responsibility.

This invasion of True Martial Country by the Beastman Empire had many students from Azure Dragon Academy filled with righteous indignation, organizing themselves and heading towards the ancient city Moonfall City in the northwest frontier in groups.

Moonfall City is the northwesternmost city of True Martial Country and also the first line of defense against the Beastman Empire.

At the same time, the new recruits were also mobilized, planning to form a team to head for Moonfall City.

These new recruits included Lin Feng, Long Shiyou, Yann Qian, Wu Ming, Xiao Yafei, Xuanyuan Zhan, among others.

Many experts, all once followers of Lin Feng who had defeated the “Huangfu Qi” team.

Wu Ming laughed and said, “Haha, we can once again follow our captain into a fierce battle.”

Many were quite excited; Lin Feng had that kind of influence and cohesiveness.

“There’s no time to lose, let’s set out now!”

Lin Feng said.

The team then headed towards Moonfall City in the northwest frontier.

The group rented a huge Griffin Beast in the Imperial City to ride to Moonfall City.

This Griffin Beast, being a favorite long-distance mount of the cultivators from the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent, possessed great endurance suitable for long flights.

Zhang Pingfan said, “Have you noticed that Long Shiyou has been very silent since he heard about the Beastman Empire invading our True Martial Country, yet he’s the most active in dealing with them.”

Wu Ming nodded and said, “There seems to be something off. He’s so concerned—could this guy be a royal?”

“Ha ha…we know all thirteen princes in the royal family, right?” Yann Qian shook his head.

“That makes sense.”

Of course, this was just a private discussion among themselves. Lin Feng also noticed some unusual behavior from Long Shiyou, but didn’t think much of it. Some people are deeply patriotic, so it’s normal to react a bit unusually when seeing the empire invaded.

Half a month later, the group saw the vast plain ahead.

“Gentlemen, we’ve reached the Moonfall Plain. I can only take you this far.”

The owner of the Griffin Beast said apologetically.

Wu Ming said, “We’re just at the Moonfall Plain, still far from Moonfall City. Are you suggesting we run the rest of the way?”

The owner of the Griffin Beast said, “I won’t lie to you, sirs. The Moonfall Plain is not peaceful. Look, the terrain here is extremely complex, with vast plains, dense forests, mountains, basins, abysses, and other complicated terrains. The place is filled with extremely vicious people. If they see a Griffin Beast flying in the Moonfall Plain, it would definitely be shot down by these ruthless people. All of you are elite scholars from the Azure Dragon Academy, powerful, but don’t underestimate the desperados in the Moonfall Plain. Be extra careful along the way, otherwise, you might lose your lives.”

“Thank you for letting us know!” Lin Feng clasped his hands and said, “We will go on foot from here.”

The people nodded and jumped off the Griffin Beast.

“Ha ha, farewell!” The owner of the Griffin Beast clasped his hands towards Lin Feng and the others, then steered the Griffin Beast up into the sky, heading back the way they had come.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and the others entered the Moonfall Plain.

The origin of the Moonfall Plain is shrouded in mystery; legend has it that during the Ancient Era, a divine moon fell from the sky, giving this place its fame. Hence the name Moonfall Plain. Deep within the Moonfall Plain, the Moonfall Mountain Range resembles a crescent moon, but it is a forbidding place, very terrifying, with few daring to approach the area.

True Martial Country built Moonfall City within the Moonfall Plain, less than a hundred miles from the Beastman Empire.

Lin Feng and his companions delved deeper, and three days later, they reached a part of the plain covered with dense forests. By a water source, Lin Feng and his group stopped to rest.

At night, the howling of wolves could be continuously heard, sending chills down many people’s spines as they observed packs of wolves howling at the moon on some mountains—truly eerie and terrifying. The wolf packs were undoubtedly one of the most fearsome of the gregarious fierce beasts.

“Roar.”

In the latter half of the night, a deep roar sounded and woke up Lin Feng and the others who were deep in sleep.

A terrifying presence pervaded the woods, and in the darkness, a pair of ghastly green eyes looked towards Lin Feng and the others resting by the campfire.

“Not good, there’s a fierce beast…”
