The person on the other end of the phone thought they had misheard and repeated, "Leader, you mean… drive away all the demonic beasts within our borders?"
"Yes!"
The man in the suit repeated, his voice growing colder, "Is that not possible?"
"It's not that!"
He shook his head and said solemnly, "Leader, but how can we drive them away in the current situation?"
"If we truly want to drive them away, it will be no easy task for us!"
"Didn't you understand what I said?" the man in the suit cursed inwardly. How could he not know this was difficult?
But compared to his own life, what was this?
"Yes!"
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment before finally ceasing to argue, merely nodding slightly to indicate understanding.
After chatting for a while longer, the two hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, a message was instantly released from the official accounts of this nation.
It declared a complete purge of demonic beasts within its borders.
Any and all demonic beasts were forbidden from remaining in the country.
This announcement, upon its release, was met with endless confusion and criticism from countless netizens.
In fact,
Even though all countries now had demonic beasts, they had generally occupied specific regions.
After a period of spiritual energy resurgence, the demonic beasts had gained some intelligence.
Basically, as long as humans didn't provoke them, they wouldn't provoke humans.
However, with the release of this announcement, this situation was undoubtedly shattered.
And the ones who suffered the most were not the demonic beasts, nor the official members of this nation.
It was the ordinary citizens of this country!
After all, if they went mad, the demonic beasts wouldn't distinguish between ordinary citizens and the soldiers or officials driving them away.
The man in the suit clearly saw their doubts and criticisms.
But he pretended not to notice and continued to act as he pleased.
He rallied his nation's soldiers to confront the demonic beasts within the country.
Despite being condemned by countless netizens, after much deliberation,
This matter was ultimately implemented!
When the soldiers first moved to confront the demonic beasts, the beasts were caught off guard, resulting in heavy casualties among them.
But this was clearly due to catching the demonic beasts by surprise.
When they acted again for the second time,
The outcome was drastically different from the first.
Countless demonic beasts rose in resistance, causing heavy casualties among the nation's soldiers.
For a time!
The soldiers of this nation and the demonic beasts were locked in a fierce battle.
As the fighting intensified, countless ordinary citizens perished under the frenzy of the demonic beasts!
This, in turn, led to countless citizens coming forward to condemn these actions.
But it was evident that the man in the suit did not relent. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to act more swiftly, intending to exterminate the demonic beasts!
When this incident broke out in news reports across the globe,
Netizens from all countries condemned it vehemently.
This was because this action not only caused panic among their nation's demonic beasts,
It also instilled widespread fear, making them worried that the demonic beasts in their own countries might suddenly rise in revolt.
After all,
Their countries were not like Great Xia, which maintained friendly relations with demonic beasts.
They were more inclined to target demonic beasts, both openly and covertly.
However,
Surprisingly, even though netizens from all countries condemned this action, the man in the suit remained unmoved.
As if he were completely unaware of the news circulating online.
And most surprisingly,
While the entire internet was condemning this action,
Similar actions to this nation were not isolated to just this one country.
Several neighboring countries immediately responded to this call.
They began attacking the demonic beasts within their borders, just like this nation!
And in the process,
In a short period,
The flames of war had almost spread to every country on Blue Star.
Every day, countless ordinary citizens in various countries died under the onslaught of demonic beasts.
This!
Was enough to shake the entire Blue Star!
Great Xia!
The Capital.
As the news continued to ferment online,
Great Xia was inevitably affected.
"The content of this meeting is very simple: it concerns the matter currently escalating online."
Looking at the people gathered around the conference table, Elder Long asked directly.
The others looked at Elder Long, their expressions tinged with solemnity.
Perhaps some might say this was an issue for other countries and had nothing to do with Great Xia.
Great Xia had a good relationship with demonic beasts, and such a situation would never occur.
This was true.
Even though the citizens of Great Xia and its demonic beasts might potentially engage in battle,
With Ao Yuan's existence, a large-scale conflict would absolutely not break out.
If it were to erupt, it would have happened long ago and not be delayed until now.
However, everyone deeply understood that the affairs of other countries were inextricably linked to Great Xia.
As the saying goes, "pull one hair and the whole body moves."
"Currently, various countries are fighting against demonic beasts. To be honest, even now, I don't understand why they are fighting each other."
Bai Feng sighed and said, "But regardless, we must make plans as soon as possible."
"Several countries' demonic beasts have already contacted me, wanting to pledge allegiance to Great Xia."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, realizing the importance of the matter.
Demonic beasts wanted to pledge allegiance to Great Xia, so should Great Xia accept or not?
There were both advantages and disadvantages.
"If we accept, it would be tantamount to becoming enemies with all these countries!"
"And accepting would not be a good thing for the ordinary citizens of Great Xia either."
Someone pondered and offered their opinion, "So I think we can choose to ignore this matter and pretend we know nothing about it."
"I have a different suggestion," someone adjusted their glasses and suddenly turned to look at Bai Feng, "Those demonic beasts are not here to pledge allegiance to us, are they?"
He was the leader in charge of managing the major cities of Great Xia.
"You are correct," Bai Feng admitted directly, "They are actually here to pledge allegiance to Great Xia's Guardian Divine Beast."
"However, as the Guardian Divine Beast is currently not on Blue Star, they cannot contact him directly, which is why they contacted us."
"This…"
Hearing this, everyone fell into a thoughtful silence.
Since they were pledging allegiance to Ao Yuan, the matter needed to be reconsidered.
Ao Yuan was currently the foremost individual on Blue Star.
But he was also a demonic beast.
Speaking of which, they truly couldn't understand.
Why did these countries attack the demonic beasts within their borders?
From what they understood, these demonic beasts were very well-behaved and basically kept to themselves, with no conflict with humans.
In such a situation, shouldn't they be dealing with creatures from the small worlds?
Why would they suddenly become enemies with demonic beasts?
"My suggestion is that we stay out of it."
"Let the Guardian Divine Beast make the decision on this matter."
Seeing everyone fall silent, Bai Feng did not hesitate to voice his thoughts.
"Whatever decision the Guardian Divine Beast makes, we will not interfere."
"That is a viable approach."
Upon hearing this, someone stroked their chin and nodded slightly in agreement.
Currently, it was known to all.
Ao Yuan and Great Xia were one and the same.
But ultimately, one side was human, and the other was demonic beast.
Acting according to Bai Feng's suggestion would also serve as a way to protect themselves.
