"Hey, Taifu, you are here." Master Tian greeted the visitor casually and without any pretense, then he held the unique and compact futon fan and gently fanned it under his feet, creating a strong wind and sending him to sit firmly on the futon.
There was no sign of surprise at the performance of the Heavenly Master. The indifferent expression of the elderly Taifu only showed a look of helplessness, but more importantly, he respected the Heavenly Master for being able to stay here to maintain Yan peace.
"Master Tian, I brought you the latest situation of Yan. I hope I can have a good chat with you."
"Tell me, tell me." The Heavenly Master responded casually, with a look of impatientness, and his tone of voice also showed a sense of impatience without knowledge and experience.
If anyone else were to listen to the conversation between the Heavenly Master and the Grand Tutor, they would definitely think that it was an interaction between a grandfather who had a lax upbringing and his doting son.
This is all due to the fact that the appearance of the Heavenly Master is so amazing. She is over 300 years old and does not have white hair and beard like the Taifu. Instead, she looks quite young, as pure and sweet as a little girl whose body has not yet grown.
Although she looks young, her height is not intimidating. If the Taifu stood up to compare her height, the old Heavenly Master's head would only be able to reach his chest.
Of course, there is a reason why the old Celestial Master is so young. She is the most powerful and talented Celestial Master in Yan hundreds of years. She controls Gorgon internally and defends Demons externally. It was difficult to find a successor for a while, so she used the Originium secret method to extend her life and support the northern defense line. Her current youthful appearance is also one of the side effects of that secret method.
Yan cannot live without the protection of the Heavenly Master, but Yan must also leave the protection of the Heavenly Master.
If the young bird blindly hides under its wings, how can it spread its wings and soar in the storm?
Over the years, Taifu has been traveling around, working in Yan, hoping to build five cities on the 12th floor, 3,000 institutions, and millions of terracotta warriors outside the Celestial Pivot Pavilion, in exchange for the Celestial Pivot Pavilion that the old master left to guard the north, and take the time to truly train the descendants who will take over the job.
However... his efforts were ruthlessly torn apart in the face of the recent emergency. This land will not let you solve its many problems step by step.
When he thought of this, Taifu looked a little ugly. Without wasting the Master's time, he directly reported the names of several Yan mobile cities.
Some are close to the coast, and some are far inland.
Cities near the coast were attacked by sea creatures. Their numbers were huge, but they were still within a predictable range. The well-trained and well-equipped city defense troops blocked the seaside offensive, but they did not seem to have much time to breathe and rest, because the heavenly masters predicted that there were more sea beasts ready to move under the dark and surging deep ocean.
Master Tian thought a lot after listening to Taifu's explanation. Yan's vast territory and rich resources also meant that the border defense pressure was extremely heavy and it was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The enemies in the sea have actually been written down in Yan's all-encompassing Twenty-Eight Strategies, but they call those fishy-smelling monsters alien beasts, while Rhodes Island gave a more scientific explanation as Seaborn.
For Rhodes Island, an independent and very active organization, the top leaders of Yan country have always treated it with a win-win attitude. It is quite inconvenient for major countries to spy on some information, and it can easily lead to fierce disputes. Handling issues that are not convenient for direct intervention to Rhodes Island can make their hands look much cleaner.
However, the Heavenly Master did not interrupt the Taifu. She saw that the old guy in front of her who was working hard to mend the world's imperfections had a big problem that he had not yet said.
Compared to the invasion at sea, the inland disaster made Master Tian feel his heart stop as soon as it was revealed.
A Scourges of terrifying size suddenly appeared on the land that had been measured by the Astronomical Bureau, and it ravaged the land without even giving the mobile city a chance to stand up.
If it is just that Scourges swept through the city, then it is okay to say that the Yan country has been standing on this land for hundreds of thousands of years. What kind of things have not happened to it? The disaster area can be rebuilt by concentrating manpower and materials.
But this time Scourges is really weird...
The Taifu said in a low tone, as if the two of them were now in the city after the ravages of Scourges, "The people and animals went crazy and turned into hungry zombies wandering in the wilderness. They beat on the strip gathering areas and city walls like waves, just hoping to taste a bite of living flesh and blood. Wherever this army had ravaged, no living thing was left, and they were also in this flesh and blood. The feast swelled and twisted, relying on the city's population to form the exaggerated Gorgon... In order to suppress these undead enemies, we mobilized a large number of troops to strangle their threat in the cradle, but there are still several cities that perished, and the nearby residential areas were also brutally attacked... The number of people whose lives were affected by the disaster during these days may be in the millions."
When she heard that the situation was so bad, there were more wrinkles on Master Tian's face that had not left any traces of time. Her first reaction was to put the cause of this disaster on the Demons she was guarding against, those ancient Although Gorgon is also extremely powerful, it will not treat the creatures on this land in such a disgusting and terrifying way. "Is it the influence of Demons? Have they found a way to bypass Celestial Pivot Pavilion in the north?"
"No." Taifu replied, "The heavenly masters gathered together to study, and only found an extremely high content of Originium substance in these corpses. It is like the incurable Oripathy mutated for the second time, prompting the terminally ill host to commit the unforgivable Violence."
"As long as it's not Demons... everything is fine." Master Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't Rhodes Island currently studying Oripathy? Send them some samples to study and see what good ideas they have..."
"Tianshi." Taifu interrupted the old Tianshi, "I came here to draw troops from the Celestial Pivot Pavilion to defend. Although Yan is rich in manpower and material, there are also places to defend everywhere. We can't predict the next time this weird happens No matter where Scourges comes, we cannot tolerate the complete destruction of several cities by the ravages of the zombies. The emperor needs us to establish a patrol team that walks among the cities. There is no manpower available at the border and the inner city garrison is not qualified enough to take on the big responsibility. At this moment, only Celestial Pivot Pavilion..."
"Okay, stop talking. I'm really afraid you'll cry if you keep talking. It doesn't look good for you to cry at such an old age." The old master replied calmly, "You guys fought hard, is it easy for me here? Do you know how difficult those Demonss are to deal with?"
This simple sentence made the Taifu a little shaken. It was obviously a precursor to rejection. The Taifu closed his eyes bitterly. He could understand the Master's rejection of his idea of sending troops.
Next, he can only look at the Suiwatch Bureau who are guarding Gorgon, recruit some capable soldiers from them, and pray that Gorgon will have better tempers over the years and not cause anything to make Yan worse...
