"What's going on? Did enemies break in?!"
"Impossible! We only contacted the front lines before the meeting!"
The Elder Council in the hall was filled with astonishment, their hearts both shocked and enraged! This meeting concerned the survival of their entire race, yet it had already been interrupted three times in a row! In his fury, Gu Hong, who led them, wore an expression that was extremely grim!
He was already in a terrible mood. How could he tolerate the chaos outside!?
Perhaps he had been too softhearted over the years. The entire Troll race had probably forgotten how he had become a Fifth Order Peak-Rank expert back then!
"These bastards! How dare they treat my ban like a joke!? With a great war at hand! Looks like I should let...!"
"Bang, bang! Bang! Bang!"
Before Gu Hong could rise in anger, a series of pounding sounds rang out, filled with wild joy and even fright.
"Grand Elder! Open the door, Grand Elder!!"
"The ranking! Look at the ranking!!"
The ranking? What ranking?
Everyone was suddenly stunned. Fortunately, as Fifth Order experts, they quickly reacted. Gu Hong, who had been furious just moments ago, instantly changed expression as if he had thought of something.
However, perhaps because he had been "deceived" too many times, he forcefully suppressed his anger and waved his hand. Amid a deafening rumble, the enormous metal doors opened to both sides.
Seeing the excited Fifth Order Trolls outside, who looked as if they could not wait to rush inside and surround him, Gu Hong instead let out a cold laugh. His coercive pressure enveloped everyone without hesitation:
"What? Has something happened to that human again?"
"Did his ranking rise a little? Or did you find some other evidence proving that he still has hope?"
Gu Hong
