"These are very critical times; everyone must obey my command!" the Fourth Elder said sternly. "Elder Ninth, Elder Eighth, and Elder Seventh, you will go to the Outer Domain Battlefield first and stabilize the situation!"
The three elders nodded slightly, and their figures vanished from Dragon Country Headquarters. They were core members of Dragon Country Headquarters. If even they could not stop this catastrophe, Dragon Country would surely face disaster.
The Fifth Elder felt a bit helpless but could only obey. However, what the Fourth Elder said was not wrong. While the Outer Domain Battlefield was crucial, if no one guarded Dragon Country from within, there would likely be endless troubles.
"The Dragon Group requests to fight!"
Long Aotian suddenly knelt down. "The situation in the Outer Domain Battlefield is unclear, and the enemy country has many martial arts powerhouses. Our Dragon Group has many experts. If we can mobilize all our forces, we will surely have a significant effect!"
"Don't be ridiculous!" the Fourth Elder said coldly. "Since its establishment, the Dragon Group has been responsible for managing internal affairs within Dragon Country. The matters of the Outer Domain Battlefield are not something you can participate in!"
"But the situation is critical now. If Dragon Country's experts are all deployed, we may not be able to resist those with wolfish ambitions!" Long Aotian's presence was imposing. "We were born as sons of Dragon Country, so how can we be afraid of death!"
"No need to say more, my mind is made up!" the Fourth Elder said coldly. "If the Dragon Group is withdrawn, won't Dragon Country fall into great chaos!"
Long Aotian wanted to say more, but the Fourth Elder waved his sleeve and turned away, appearing quite angered. This was a crucial moment, but they could not afford to fall into disarray.
"Go back!" the Fifth Elder said. "Without the Fourth Elder's order, you cannot act rashly!"
"This..."
Long Aotian frowned. "As members of the Dragon Group, we should have a determined will to die. Why is the Fourth Elder so stubborn?"
"Members of the Dragon Group are the backbone of the Dragon Group. If you suffer any losses, Dragon Country will also collapse!" the Fifth Elder explained. "This is why the Fourth Elder is adamant about not letting the Dragon Group go to the front lines!"
Long Aotian stood rooted to the spot, silent. In fact, he understood very well why the Fourth Elder was doing this. It was to preserve the foundation. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never let the Dragon Group enter the Outer Domain Battlefield, because it was Dragon Country's last remaining force.
Leaving Dragon Country Headquarters, Long Aotian had just arrived in Dragon City when Han Bing and others surrounded him. "What did the elders say? We are already ready. As soon as we get the order, we can go to the rescue!"
"All members of the Dragon Group, listen to the order. Remain in position!" Long Aotian instructed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Dragon Group looked somewhat disappointed. Jian Ying asked, "Is this the elders' decision? There are many countrymen trapped in the Outer Domain Battlefield. Why aren't we going?"
"As members of the Dragon Group, we must obey the elders' will!" Long Aotian said gravely. "You don't need to ask any more questions! Guarding the homeland of Dragon Country is also a way to serve Dragon Country!"
"Letting us sit idly by is absolutely impossible!" the Dragon Group members shouted. "No matter what the elders decide, we must go to the rescue!"
"What, are my words no longer effective?" Long Aotian's expression was cold. "This matter is of great importance. The elders have their reasons, and we don't need to speculate!"
The members of the Dragon Group were all indignant but did not know what to do. As War Spirit Realm powerhouses, they were arguably the most powerful force in Dragon Country. If they went to the Outer Domain Battlefield, they would surely catch the enemy off guard.
It was a pity that the Fourth Elder had given his orders, and they had to obey.
War reports kept coming in, with countless casualties among Dragon Country's experts, causing quite a stir. Looking at the battle reports, the Fourth Elder's face grew grim. Even the three elders had fallen into an ambush and were trapped in a stronghold.
"The current situation looks very bad," the Fifth Elder said. "Should we wake them up?"
"They entered seclusion because they reached a critical stage. If they are awakened now, wouldn't it be a waste of all their efforts!" the Fourth Elder shook his head. "It seems I have no choice but to shamelessly seek help from the Three Great Sects!"
"Seek their help!" the Fifth Elder frowned. "They only care about their own interests. Why would they care about the survival of Dragon Country!"
"Regardless, they all grew up within Dragon Country. Moreover, if they are in trouble, and they can send some experts to the Outer Domain Battlefield, it would at least help to alleviate the situation," the Fourth Elder said with a solemn expression.
"I'll accompany you!"
The Fifth Elder offered. "If they are unwilling, we will forcibly deter them!"
"If the Great Elder were here, it might be possible!" the Fourth Elder said with a wry smile. "But with just us, it might not be effective to forcibly deter them. None of the leaders of the Three Great Sects are simple individuals!"
The Fifth Elder frowned. If that were indeed the case, getting the Three Great Sects to send people would be harder than climbing to heaven.
"You stay and guard. I will go alone!" the Fourth Elder stated directly.
The Fifth Elder nodded slightly and did not argue further. With the Fourth Elder going alone, it was sufficient.
Meanwhile, at Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan looked at the Outer Domain Battlefield, his expression instantly turning cold. How could he not tell that something major had happened in the Outer Domain Battlefield.
"Sir, many experts from the Azure Cloud Sect have joined the defense of the strongholds!" Old Han reported. "Unfortunately, the enemy country has too many experts. Should we go to the Outer Domain Battlefield?"
"Many countries have joined forces to attack Dragon Country! If ordinary Grandmasters go, they will be of no use." Lu Fan waved his hand. "Now is a time of national crisis. Have the Three Great Hidden Sects sent anyone to support?"
"The Three Great Hidden Sects have always only cared about their own strength. Why would they send people to support!" Old Han said with a bitter smile. "It's already quite good that they aren't attacking the internal affairs of Dragon Country at this time!"
"The Three Great Sects absorb the destiny of Dragon Country, and now, at this critical juncture of life and death, they are washing their hands of the matter!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a killing intent emerging.
It was a pity that he did not have such powerful strength at the moment. Otherwise, he would definitely destroy the Three Great Sects. Dragon Country did not need such leeches.
"Old Han, accompany me to the Three Great Sects!" Lu Fan said with overwhelming aura.
Old Han nodded slightly, a trace of worry in his expression. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so forceful. If they truly went, it would likely cause quite a stir.
However, on the way, Lu Fan happened to meet the Fourth Elder, and their destination was the Medicine King Valley.
"Little Lu, where are you going!" the Fourth Elder said in a deep voice.
"Naturally, to the Medicine King Valley!" Lu Fan said softly. "The Three Great Sects have numerous experts. Dragon Country is in trouble, and they should step forward!"
"Since that's the case, you can come with me!" the Fourth Elder said. "I'm afraid things won't be as smooth as we imagine!" Su Dan Novel Network
He knew very well that the Three Great Sects were profit-driven, and getting them to deal with foreign enemies would not be easy.
Inside the Medicine King Valley, the high-ranking officials of the Medicine King Valley were in a conference room, looking vigilant and their expressions shifting. They hadn't expected such a change of events.
