So fast?
Long Chen was also taken aback.
"On the outskirts of the Dragon Domain, suspicious figures have already appeared. My informants have discovered them." Mo Ying said.
When Mo Ying said this, the other clan leaders couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Mo Ying had previously said that the entire Dragon Domain was under her surveillance, and they had been skeptical. But now, they all did.
"How many people are there?" Is there any trend of attack?" Long Chen asked.
"On the outskirts of the Dragon Domain, suspicious figures have appeared in eight directions. I previously instructed my informants to report anything suspicious immediately. No unauthorized investigation is allowed, so as not to alert the enemy.
My informant is skilled in concealment, but his strength is average. If he actively observes, he's easily discovered.
They only dared to observe where they were. So far, more than a dozen suspicious figures have appeared in eight directions, very likely enemy spies. The exact situation is unclear." Mo Ying said.
Under Mo Ying's command, there was a group of hidden experts. In fact, she was the first to receive news when Long Chen entered the Dragon Domain territory.
With Long Chen's strength, he didn't even notice being watched, which shows just how astonishing these people's ability to hide is.
It was precisely because of such a group of powerful figures that every move of the entire Dragon Domain was under Mo Ying's surveillance.
"If you ask me, why don't we take the initiative and strike while they're not ready? Let's wipe them out in a crushing fashion." A prodigy of the Dragon Clan shouted.
After the prodigy finished shouting, the other prodigies remained silent, just staring at him coldly. That person suddenly remembered that everyone had just agreed to let Long Chen be the commander, and everything was for Long Chen's lead.
He immediately forgot what he had just said and directly expressed his opinion. What he said before was no different from nonsense.
"Sorry..."
The
man immediately realized he had said the wrong thing, scratched his head, and said awkwardly.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Whatever ideas everyone has, you can actually bring them up. After all, we still have plenty of time to deploy. I just hope that when there's no time to discuss, everyone will follow my orders.
This brother suggested charging out directly, which is actually a good strategy. If the enemy comes to scout, they definitely won't be prepared. If we catch them off guard, we'll definitely gain an advantage...
" As Long Chen said this, the man immediately became proud. He looked around at the people and thought, "See, my idea isn't wrong."
Long Chen continued, "However, there are still many issues here. They haven't made proper arrangements, we're not prepared either, we haven't even assigned basic formations, and the leaders of the various clans haven't made a decision. If we make a move, it will inevitably turn into chaos.
Also, although the enemy has come, we don't know how many they have come. We don't know if these people are deliberately setting bait, secretly setting traps. We also don't know if they act rashly, and the chance of falling for them is very high.
After all, the opponent knows our dragon clan very well...
Upon hearing this, the man immediately deflated. Long Chen continued, "This great battle is the revival of our Dragon Domain, and also a battle for our rise. It is our battle to announce to the entire world that the Dragon Clan will reclaim the pinnacle of all races.
In this battle, we not only want victory, but a great victory. We want every corner of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to hear the roar of our Dragon Clan..."
Long Chen's voice gradually shifted from low to passionate. At that moment, the Dragon Clan's strong warriors were instantly infected, their blood surging with passion.
"This time, our goal is to kill all the invaders, leaving them with no way out.
So, let's ignore these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. We focus on improving our own strength and responding to all changes with unchanged means.
I believe that as long as our Dragon Domain stands united, there is no enemy we cannot defeat." Long Chen clenched his fists, his gaze sharp, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
With the full support of the Dragon Clan, Long Chen was full of confidence. This time, he was determined to go all out and turn the world upside down.
As soon as they heard that Long Chen's goal was to annihilate the enemy, these prodigies instantly became extremely excited.
"But right now, our Dragon Domain is beset by internal and external troubles..."
Mo Ying reminded her, afraid Long Chen would forget traitors like the Yinglong clan and the Bone Dragon clan. The Dragon Domain wasn't united in one place; internal troubles were the real headaches.
"That's not a problem. In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are fabricated.
What we need to do now is gather all our strength and fight them in a decisive battle." Long Chen said.
Seeing Long Chen looking so confident, Mo Ying was still a bit worried, but didn't say anything more.
Saying too much would only mean doubting Long Chen's abilities and distrusting him personally. Questioning the commander is a grave taboo.
Aside from Mo Ying, the other dragon clan chiefs weren't so interested; they trusted Long Chen more and more.
Especially since Long Chen could easily resolve the crisis of the prodigy rivalry, making all the prodigies willing to follow his command. Just this ability alone was enough for them to be far behind.
Dragon clan experts mostly trust their instincts, and once they trust someone, they never easily doubt them.
"Then let's awaken our ancestors. This battle concerns the survival of the Dragon Domain—we can't afford to be careless." The chief of the White Dragon Clan said.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Better safe than sorry."
Long Chen knew that there were nine ancestors in the dragon clan, all true Dragon Emperors, beings at the living fossil level, having lived since the primordial era until now.
In the endless river, as the Heavenly Dao changed and spiritual energy declined, their bodies also deteriorated.
The most terrifying thing was that this decline was irreversible; their lifespans were rapidly shrinking, and to live longer, they had been sealing themselves off.
After self-sealing, their lifespan would deplete more slowly, but no matter how slow, after such a long period of consumption, their bloodline and physical bodies were slowly withering.
Logically, cultivators entering the immortal realm and condensing immortal runes should grant nearly endless lifespan.
But so-called immortal runes depend on the laws of heaven and earth. If heaven and earth are immortal, talent can be immortal.
In the Chaos Era, Immortal Realm experts do have the ability to live as long as heaven and earth, but only in chaotic times.
In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is no true immortality. Even those who advance to Dragon Emperor face the fate of lifespan exhaustion and death.
The nine ancestors of the Dragon Domain had been asleep all along. Unless absolutely necessary, no one dared to wake them, because each awakening consumed a certain amount of lifespan, which they could not afford.
But now, the Dragon Domain is facing a crisis. Without them, Mo Ying and the others feel uncertain.
If the battle becomes too fierce and the prodigies suffer too many casualties, the Dragon Domain cannot bear it either. Such a major event must be awakened to them.
Besides, perhaps the Yinglong clan and the Bone Dragon clan have already awakened their ancestor, so they have no choice but to do so.
Seeing Long Chen agree, Mo Ying and the other clan leaders left the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and returned to their respective clans to awaken the ancestors.
Long Chen, together with the others, selected seven leaders for them. Since the leaders were temporary and chosen by Long Chen, everyone accepted them.
With this, the teams of the seven major powers finally took shape, and Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Chen was filled with anticipation: "Silver-haired Zankong, you must come!"
