Today's first update: Chapter 3057! 1/4!
Mend the fold after the sheep were gone? Unfortunately, it was already too late!
Because of the grave initial oversight in political vetting, five entire Tortoise Armies across the twelve Race Battlefields—originally meant to encircle the Huang Clan and carry out the Deep Penetration Strategy—had absurdly defected en masse!
Setting everything else aside, just the news of this alone was enough to send the Black Tortoise Race's dignity—already ruthlessly trampled by the human race—plummeting into an abyss once more, shattered beyond repair!
Still, all races knew that what was more indestructible than the Black Tortoise Race's heavy shells was their thick skin, tempered until it was impervious to blade and spear.
The mockery and criticism from the outside world had little real impact on them.
Put nicely, it was called "pragmatism," placing practical interests above all else. Put bluntly, it was simply being utterly shameless!
The successive defections of these five Tortoise Armies had not only handed the Huang Clan a full two hundred million fresh troops to serve as frontline cannon fodder, but also dealt an incomparably heavy blow to the Black Tortoise Race itself.
Originally, the Wild Hunt Operation launched in the name of "avenging Si Prince" had received unanimous approval throughout the Black Tortoise Race.
Its fundamental purpose was to suppress the rapidly rising Huang Clan and thereby bolster and consolidate the Black Tortoise Race's supreme prestige as an old royal race.
Yet after the Eighth Battlefield had suffered a complete defeat, looking back revealed something laughable—so far, the force that had held out longest beneath the Huang Army's savage advance was actually the Centipede Race of the First Battlefield, which had been sacrificed as cannon fodder from the very beginning!
This was simply the greatest joke in the world!
