Ye Zhen had felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness when he first received the order to set out.
He had gone through untold hardship to infiltrate the Phoenix Spirit Realm and had already found quite a few clues about Caiyi. He was on the verge of finding her—surely the Phoenix Spirit Race Military Affairs Department would not send him to the Primordial Continent to fight at a time like this?
After all, as far as Ye Zhen knew, the Phoenix Spirit Race's only current war was the expeditionary war on the Primordial Continent, and their expeditionary army was severely understaffed.
If that really happened, Ye Zhen might have no choice but to expose himself.
Before finding Caiyi, Ye Zhen would not leave the Phoenix Spirit Realm.
Fortunately, this order was not what Ye Zhen had imagined—not an expedition to the Primordial Continent, but an outward deployment—to suppress monsters!
"Given the extraordinary combat strength of the Seventh Guard Second Brigade, and the recent rampant Monster Beasts within Chiwu County, the Second Brigade is specially dispatched to suppress the monsters. Detailed monster-suppression regulations are enclosed!"
That was the order from the Phoenix Spirit Race Military Affairs Department.
Yet what surprised Ye Zhen even more was the detailed regulations.
The Military Affairs Department's so-called monster suppression was, in truth, monster capture—capturing all Monster Beasts alive whenever possible.
This enraged Ye Zhen. What kind of military order was that?
Capturing Monster Beasts alive was far more difficult than killing them, and the chances of casualties were much greater.
However, Qing Zhao, Huang Ge, and the others stopped Ye Zhen, the acting Millennial Commander, when he intended to seek out the Military Affairs Department and argue his case.
One sentence left Ye Zhen with nothing to say—capturing monsters was a tradition of the Phoenix Spirit
