Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

"I agree with this elder’s opinion, in terms of human nature, we cannot predict whether they will support us."

"Whether we can use it, we cannot predict."

"Whether it will be in time, we cannot predict."

When Lin Chen mentioned this, everyone frowned, wondering why Lin Chen would say this if he already knew.

At this moment, Lin Chen changed his tone and said:

"But I can foresee one probability, if we rely solely on the power of South City, solely on our current strength, we cannot defeat the Demon Beasts."

"Even if the defending forces of South City are doubled now, we would still eventually lose."

As soon as he said this, an elderly gentleman expressed some displeasure.

Admitting defeat before the battle is a major taboo in wartime strategies.

Chen Ming glanced at the elderly gentleman and signaled him to stay calm.

Because Chen Ming knew that Lin Chen was telling the truth.

The forces of the Demon Beasts were continuously increasing, yet South City had been besieged for many days without reinforcements, and each day was worse than the last.

Lin Chen continued:

"I am inexperienced in warfare, and my skills are not as good as yours. I understand that my previous words might have upset you."

"I also admire the courage of the seniors who are willing to defend our homeland and fight to the last drop of blood, but we must follow one undeniable fact that even if we exhaust every last bit of our strength, we cannot win this war."

At this point, someone stood up and asked, "Putting aside whether the launch station can be used, how can you be sure they are willing to come to our aid?"

"But we must understand that the essence of the Monster Hunter Guild’s creation is a chain of interests."

"In other words, most of the people involved here are driven by profit, isn’t that correct?"

"Correct," Lin Chen nodded, then showed his Monster Hunter badge and said, "Four years ago, when I joined Jiuxing City, I admit I was also driven by profit, there’s nothing wrong with that."

"There’s a saying, ’If people do not think for themselves, they will be condemned by heaven and earth.’"

"But I just mentioned, that you all are willing to use courage to forge our last line of defense and protect our homeland, which has strengthened my belief in one fact, and that is..."

"We are human!"

"We are the Human Race!"

"Now the Demon Race is ravaging our compatriots and our homeland."

"I believe those former Monster Hunters also possess this courage and conviction."

At last, Lin Chen took a deep breath, saluted everyone with cupped hands, and sat down.

The room remained silent.

Until Chen Ming said:

"Time is running short, let’s begin the voting."

It only took three seconds before someone raised their hand. This person was the one who previously spoke conservatively. Lin Chen thought he would raise his hand to continue opposing, but unexpectedly, he said:

"I vote in favor!"

"Brother Lin is right. Since we are willing, I believe they will also be willing."

"Indeed."

Not long after, another person raised their hand, and then many others began raising their hands in succession.

Seeing this, Lin Chen took a deep breath.

According to his analysis, if South City doesn’t receive reinforcements, the probability of the Human Race winning is less than 10%.

If the launch station successfully activates, nearly three hundred cities’ Monster Hunters from the southern region will come to aid, this force far exceeds the power of 20 level seventy Spirit Beasts.

After the meeting ended, Chen Ming immediately arranged for the Beastmaster to initiate the revival operation. Lin Chen waited outside and was not allowed to enter.

After waiting for half an hour, Chen Ming came out with a smile on his face and said to Lin Chen, "The launch station works and has been successfully activated."

"That’s great," Lin Chen said. "We need to send the message out quickly."

"It’s already sent," Chen Ming replied.

Lin Chen was taken aback and then felt his guild machine vibrating.

Lin Chen picked it up to check and saw the message source displayed as [Monster Hunter Guild], causing his pupils to heat up.

Jincheng

At that moment, Lee Zhen was rapidly organizing the battlefield. Since Lin Chen left, they dared not stop for a moment and moved on to the next city.

Here, there was no Great Demon defending, so it was relatively simpler.

But it was still a fierce battle.

After finishing his work, suddenly Wu Ying ran over from afar, looking excited.

"What’s going on?" Lee Zhen asked.

"Look at this," Wu Ying, with reddened pupils, handed over the guild machine,

Lee Zhen picked it up and, upon seeing the familiar six words of the Monster Hunter Guild, his eyes also reddened.

Compared to Lin Chen, his feelings for these six words were much deeper.

"Lin Chen succeeded, Lin Chen succeeded..." Lee Zhen said excitedly.

"Yes."

Wu Ying nodded heavily.

Lee Zhen looked at the announcement above.

No.

More accurately, it was a letter.

[Four years of silence, the smoke of war rises again!]

[Letter to All Monster Hunters!]

[People of the Southern Territory, the southern border is now in chaos under the Demon Beasts, and countless cities big and small have already fallen, with the people living in dire straits.]

[At this moment, I believe everyone is struggling to fend for themselves.]

[But now, we must stand for the Southern Territory, stand for South City, and issue the following call.]

[We call upon you!]

[We call upon those warriors who once forged barriers with flesh and blood under the "Southern Territory Monster Hunter Guild"!]

[We call upon those heroic souls whose blood for demon hunting has never cooled, even though the guild dispersed four years ago!]

[We know that the dissolution back then was caused by unavoidable circumstances or disputes, the past is over. Yet today, it is unrelated to old grievances or remuneration, only concerning the land beneath our feet, the lives of our parents, wives, and children, and the last hope for South City!]

[Your strength is the most desperately needed rain for South City at this moment!]

[You know the weaknesses of Demon Beasts, knowledge acquired through countless tears and blood!]

[You have the experience of fighting in the wilderness, an instinct ingrained in your bones!]

[You were once the sharpest spear and the strongest shield in every city!]

[Today, South City needs this dormant blade to unsheathe once more!]

[From this day forward, South City issues a Monster Hunter assembly order for the last stand for the land beneath our feet!]

[Signed: Monster Hunter Guild]

Upon reading the end, Lee Zhen felt a trembling in his soul as if his body was filled with newfound passion.

Now, he wished nothing more than to rush to South City immediately.

Seeing this, Wu Ying laughed and said, "We have our mission."

Lee Zhen nodded, calming down a bit, and added, "I wonder if those people will go..."

A letter written so well ultimately depends on the people.

"They will,"

Wu Ying said, "Because this battle isn’t merely a personal fight."

"A thousand years ago, we were able to win."

"Today, we believe we can still win."

Demon Beast Headquarters

The Undying Phoenix was still observing South City. Now, with much of its forces gathered, it could have attacked, but the Undying Phoenix wasn’t in a rush, planning to devour South City slowly.

Until noon, a Demon Beast hurriedly approached holding a guild machine.

After reading it, the Undying Phoenix’s expression changed dramatically, for it was the announcement from South City.

"We captured a human, found this on him," said the Demon Beast.

"This is bad..." the Undying Phoenix’s expression changed upon hearing.

The support from Dubhe Pavilion definitely won’t come, but the power from the Monster Hunter Guild has always been something the Demon Race feared.

Otherwise, four years ago, they wouldn’t have forced the Human Race to disband the Monster Hunter Guild.

Thinking of this, the Undying Phoenix immediately ordered:

"Pass my order..."

"Begin the siege at once, until South City is taken!"
