Chapter 1799 Eight Bad Eggs
Chapter 1799: Eight Bad Eggs Chapter 1799: Eight Bad Eggs Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Now, two chiefs had arrived, and Marshall Connell was seething with rage. But there was nothing he could do. Before coming, he had already learned from his son that the three who attacked him were gods. Today, they had already become enemies, destined to be formidable foes of the Northern Region in the future. The potential of those three prodigies would undoubtedly reach its peak one day, stirring a killing intent in Marshall’s heart.
However, the higher-ups of the human race wouldn’t allow him to act on it. His influence within the human race was limited. So, Marshall, who had arrived in anger, left quietly.
The Foreman chief glanced over, frowning.
“Marshall is resentful.
The Northern Region is a crucial stronghold—one of the nine lines of defense against the demons.
If anything goes wrong there, the consequences will be disastrous.” “The Northern Region holds its importance because of its responsibility to defend against the demons.
If Marshall shows any signs of disloyalty, none of the lords of the Northern Region will survive,” Chadwick Neal stated coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent. The Northern Region had resisted the demons for generations; it was a super battlefield where countless experts from both races died each year. If there were any issues with the defense line, Chadwick would be the first to eliminate Marshall.
The Foreman chief shook his head.
“Marshall is the lord of the Northern Region and has been at the peak for many years, yet he hasn’t been able to enter the core of the race.
He likely harbors some resentment.
Now that this has happened, I’m afraid he’ll start harboring other thoughts.” “Traitors must be eradicated from top to bottom,” Chief Green Lotus remarked calmly.
“The race is still under our control.
If there are traitors, we’ll be held responsible.
Besides, the ancestors have returned.
If there’s a breach in the Northern Region Lord’s line of defense and the demon race breaks through, with the ancestors’ temper, neither you nor I will be able to withstand their wrath.” Chadwick and the Foreman chief both frowned. They were well aware of Braydon Neal and the others’ methods. They had to keep a close watch on Marshall—it was better to be safe than sorry.
“Marshall has left,” a chief said calmly.
“From the direction he headed, he should have returned to the Northern Region.” “What a bastard!” Chadwick erupted.
“The competition isn’t even over yet, and he, a stellar realm lord, dares to abandon a disciple and return to the Northern Region!” Chadwick’s frustration was palpable, and his anxiety had only grown.
“Summon him back!” the Foreman chief ordered coldly.
“Useless!” The black-robed chief, creator of the Hall of Souls, added, “I just sent him a message asking him to stay, but he didn’t respond.” “Marshall hasn’t betrayed us.
There’s nothing more we can do.
If we push further, it might disappoint the Northern Region’s disciples,” the Foreman chief said, still maintaining a calm demeanor.
Chadwick’s eyes hardened. He wasn’t about to play the gentleman. Historically, power had never been held by those who acted passively. In the grand scheme of things, being a gentleman often meant paying a heavy price.
For Chadwick, the disappointment of the Northern Region’s disciples was secondary. The main priority was preventing chaos in the Northern Region. The defense line there could not falter, especially during the crucial human race Prodigy Tournament and the upcoming Ten Thousand Stellar Realm Competition, which involved many ancestors.
Chadwick’s thin lips moved slightly as he gave his orders.
“Execute my order.
Remove Marshall Connell’s power and appoint a temporary lord of the Northern Region.
Order Iven Griffen, the top expert of the Military Department, to assume Marshall’s responsibilities.
Also, appoint Fennec Caston, the patrol envoy of the Northern Region, to oversee the region!” His cold directives left the chiefs silent. Marshall was to be reduced to a figurehead, stripped of his high-ranking position in the human military. Meanwhile, the Northern Region would be directly overseen by Fennec Caston, a veteran at the peak.
From now on, Fennec would have extensive authority. Any insubordination in the Northern Region could be met with lethal consequences.
Acting first and reporting later; the headquarters had granted special permission to the patrol envoy. Chadwick and the others had successfully dealt with the Northern Region Lord.
While the people outside had their own tasks, the hundreds of competition zones were nearing their end. The news of a god appearing in Zone 1 spread rapidly, reaching all major competition zones. Clearly, many of the geniuses in various zones were keeping up with the latest developments.
Three god prodigies in Zone 1 had placed immense pressure on the other zones, causing many young competitors to feel despondent. Initially, only eternal realm geniuses had participated, but soon path returning realm and nirvana realm geniuses joined in. These were once top geniuses from their own worlds, but now, they found themselves facing even greater talents at the headquarters.
Before the competition, they believed that spirit body geniuses represented the peak of their limits. However, with hundreds of competition zones, each had its own elite spirit body prodigies. The arrangement of these prodigies seemed random, but there was a subtle strategy behind it.
The presence of Loki Foreman and the other two, all gods, had dramatically altered the competition dynamics. Their arrival diminished the prominence of spirit body geniuses, overshadowing them. Many spirit body geniuses, who had aspired to secure top ten or even top three positions, now faced formidable obstacles from the three gods.
The pressure on spirit body geniuses was intense in the latter stages of the Hundred Stellar Realm Competition. With gods now in the mix, the value of being a spirit body genius seemed diminished.
Those who hadn’t ascended to godhood were seen as insignificant. Gradually, the spirit body geniuses let go of their arrogance. No one dared to call themselves Heaven’s Favorites anymore.
The late-stage spirit body geniuses now aspired to become gods in the Thousand Stellar Realm Competition or even the Ten Thousand Stellar Realm Competition.
In Zone 1, Braydon sat alone on the peak of a snowy mountain, his deep gaze fixed on the horizon as dark spots continued to appear in the distance.
It had been a long time. The competition zones were now filled with disciples from the Northern Army, with the top positions going to the Northern Army and the first eight legions. A total of eight legions had surged into this competition zone.
During this period, half of them had been eliminated.
The situation was unavoidable; all the human race’s geniuses were competing on the same stage. The Northern Army disciples’ cultivation levels were still too low. Before the competition, most of them were at the life and death realm, even though their soul imprints had recovered. It took time to cultivate further.
Those who remained were all in the eternal realm, a level of cultivation that was already impressive. Half of the disciples from the eight legions wore black armor made from mythical vine, with cold swords hanging at their waists. Nearly 400,000 black-armored elites silently assembled at the foot of the snowy mountain.
All the commanders had made their appearance. Before the competition, Braydon had mentioned that the various commanders would lead their armies into the competition zone. Now, all eight of them were present: Cole Colbie, Luther Carden, Yuri Qualls, Laird Xenos, Qadry Knight.
