Clang, clang, clang!
The crisp ringing of bells sounded once more. With the approval of Yang Yao, who had taken over from Xu Kun as the Monkey Race's temporary leader, all the smiling monkeyfolk were sent back to the heartland of their race.
The Monkey Race Battlefield was emptied out.
Only the various legions following Xu Kun remained, along with the Earth Dragon Legion still excavating source mines and the Rock Rhino Legion responsible for transport.
Ever since their victory over the Shadow Wolf Clan, the Shadow Wolf Clan's former superior race had not dared send anyone to investigate the Monkey Race Battlefield.
Meanwhile, during the past half year of Xu Kun's military-strengthening plan, Yue Chan'er had continued leading teams to probe deeper into the superior races.
Information on the five Race Battlefields arranged in sequence now lay before Xu Kun.
Xu Kun had also dispatched ten thousand scouts, the maximum number allowed for each superior race, to keep the battlefield developments updated in real time.
As long as he wished, he could formulate a battle plan at any time.
But to do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. Xu Kun was simply taking the time to sharpen his blade before cutting wood!
"In one year, the Monkey Race's new homeland forces will be fully established, and the excavation of source mines across the entire Monkey Race Battlefield can enter its final phase."
Yang Yao came up behind Xu Kun, who was studying the intelligence reports as he muttered to himself.
"Roughly two and a half years of preparation for war... that truly is unprecedented. It seems this First Tier War of the Millennium Period will last at least five years!"
Five years... that was truly a long time, and that was only the First Tier War.
