Chapter 303: Chapter 228: The Choice Between the Divine Realm’s East and North, the Arrogant Vampire Viscount
[Prompt]: Logging into the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net...
[Prompt]: Authentication passed...
[Prompt]: Your consciousness is now descending into your Divine Realm...
[Prompt]: Welcome, great God of Nature, to your Divine Realm!
After logging into his Divine Realm through the Divine Domain Connection Pod, specially prepared for this University Alliance Training Camp assessment, Zhang Yi noticed something was different.
He opened the interface for the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net and received the supplementary information for the current mission. In the bottom-left corner of his Divine Realm interface, he was surprised to find two new lines of numbers.
One line read: 00:59:51.
The other read: 168:00:00.
Seeing the first line of numbers ticking down, Zhang Yi immediately understood that it was a one-hour countdown for preparation.
Following that logic, the second timer must represent the total duration of the mission, from start to finish.
Zhang Yi did a quick calculation: it was exactly seven days.
Combined with the supplementary mission information from Instructor Li Qiongtian, Zhang Yi understood. For this Hell Difficulty mission, the Clans in his Divine Realm would have to fend off the forces sent by Count Yin Hai the Vampire for a full seven days.
Fortunately, however, Zhang Yi was not completely without his own advantages.
He had one hour to prepare, and he also got to choose the location where the enemy’s Teleportation Gate would open.
"Comrades! My God has delivered a new Oracle!"
After receiving the new Oracle from the God of Nature, Elf High Priest Shamiel immediately cast an Amplification Spell on herself to announce its contents, and the events that were to follow, to all the Clans in the Divine Realm.
"An evil entity from a Large Dark Plane has inadvertently discovered the Divine Realm under the protection of the God of Nature and is preparing to attack!"
"My God has delivered an Oracle! We have one hour to prepare."
"After that hour, the clans of that evil entity will invade our Divine Realm through a Teleportation Gate, and we will face seven days and seven nights of brutal combat!"
"The opposing evil entity is a Vampire Ancestor! Our enemy is his minion, Count Yin Hai the Vampire, and his underlings."
"They are purely evil creatures!"
"But do not worry! Our great God anticipated this."
"His sacred temple already stands high in the Divine Kingdom, sheltering all the Clans!"
"Sacred Power already resides within every member of our Clans!"
"In every battle against these minions of Darkness, that sacred Power will imbue our weapons, allowing us to inflict greater harm upon the Dark Clan!"
"Therefore, do not be afraid! Do not worry! Simply act according to My God’s Oracle!"
Hearing Elf High Priest Shamiel’s words, the experienced Elf and Dwarf Clans within the Divine Realm immediately began their preparations.
Even without Elf High Priest Shamiel’s encouraging speech, they would never have abandoned their homes or given up the fight against the Dark Clan.
Even the Goblin Clan, who lived in the western part of the Divine Realm and had only recently joined Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm, fell into a brief chaos after hearing Elf High Priest Shamiel’s announcement. But soon after, they all brought out their mechanical creations, clamoring to fight the Dark Clan to the death.
They, the Goblin Clan, had already lost one home. They would not lose a second!
Sensing the fervent atmosphere among the Clans below, Elf High Priest Shamiel continued:
"The Divine Realm will now enter the highest state of combat readiness!"
"In the name of the God of Nature, I command!"
"All Elf Corps and Dwarf Corps are to immediately proceed to the War Fortress in the east of the Divine Realm and assemble there to mount a defense!"
"The Tree-man Corps and the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps will also proceed there and be on standby."
"Finally, the Magical Cannons developed by the goblins are to be transported to the War Fortress for immediate installation!"
"For all specific military matters, you will obey the orders of Elf Legion Commander Feiyana!"
As Elf High Priest Shamiel spread the God of Nature’s Oracle, all the Clans throughout the Divine Realm began to move as one, like the gears of a precise machine.
Zhang Yi’s Will hovered high above the Divine Realm. He did not interfere with Elf High Priest Shamiel’s realm-wide announcement, nor did he meddle in Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s military arrangements.
He was satisfied with the arrangements made by these two leaders.
The order for all forces to gather at the War Fortress in the eastern Divine Realm, which Elf High Priest Shamiel had just announced, had also come from Zhang Yi.
After reviewing all the details of the assessment mission, Zhang Yi had initially considered placing the Teleportation Gate for the Vampire Count’s invasion in the northern part of his Divine Realm.
After all, the Four-star Natural Wonder in the northern Snow Realm, the Northern Heaven Ridge, had a no-fly restriction for any Clan members below the Seventh Level.
The vampires’ most famous advantages were their ability to turn into bats and fly, as well as their unique Blood Magic.
Combined with the Northern Snow Realm’s temperatures of lower than twenty degrees below zero, Zhang Yi was confident that any exploratory force sent by the Vampire Count would be utterly crushed.
But this plan wasn’t without its drawbacks.
In the northern part of Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm, aside from the defensive line formed by the Natural Wonder, there were no other Clan defenses whatsoever.
If the Snow Realm were to be crossed, the Clans in his Divine Realm would face the Vampire Army’s unimpeded advance, a straight shot right into their heartland.
It was too late now to set up a defensive line below the northern Snow Realm.
Therefore, rather than pinning all his hopes on the defense provided by a Natural Wonder, Zhang Yi had more faith in the double-layered defensive line he had spent decades of Divine Realm time creating: the Dwarf War Fortress and the Elf Cities.
Whether it was the War Fortress where the dwarves lived or the eleven cities inhabited by the elves, both had been constructed from the very beginning with warfare capabilities in mind.
