Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

After the battle at South City, the warriors did not slack off. They knew that the Demon Race would not let things go easily, so they were constantly on guard.

But five days passed, and there was no reaction from the Demon Race.

Instantly, the people and warriors in the city cheered and were overjoyed,

which was good news for the city dwellers. However, for Lin Chen and his companions, this was bad news.

Sure enough, after just two days, news came from the Demon Race that the Undying Phoenix had changed its tactics. It would no longer attack South City but instead adopt a scattered strategy.

In other words, it would conquer other cities.

Suddenly, the entire southern region descended into chaos.

Because the Monster Hunters supporting South City came from various cities, upon learning that their hometowns were in trouble, they all wanted to rush back to defend their homes first. This led to fierce debates among the previously united group.

That evening, Chen Ming and his team held a meeting to discuss this matter.

"What do you all think?" Chen Ming’s face looked grim.

It was hard enough to gather forces, but if they disperse again, the last shred of hope for the southern region would be completely gone.

Wu Yi was the first to respond: "If we want them to focus, we must show them hope and reality."

"President Wu, please advise us." someone asked.

"Hope is the hope of victory. We can’t keep acting like headless flies, being passive." Wu Yi said, "This is the most important factor. Once a war loses hope, there is no future."

"Second, we must tell them that even if they leave, going back home is futile. Now, the only way to fight the Demon Race is to unite."

"Third, spread the message to gather more refugees. For now, it’s an unavoidable situation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming nodded, but then said, "Yet once the numbers increase, resources become scarce and management becomes harder, so we have to plan ahead."

"That’s natural," Wu Yi said, "If there’s no objection, let’s proceed for now."

"Currently, the South City alliance still must uphold a principle, that is we will not interfere with personal choices. Anyone who wants to leave can do so at any time."

.....

Soon, the meeting details spread among the crowd, causing a huge uproar.

Previously, some wanted to leave, but after the plan was released, many chose to stay.

Because they understood clearly that if they left here, their ultimate fate would be death, and it would not save those they wish to save.

South City settled down temporarily, then they used methods like the Guild Machine to quickly spread the message.

Lin Chen followed the large team to neighboring cities, which had already been invaded by Demon Beasts and become deserted.

According to Lin Chen’s estimation, if the war were to end today, the death toll for the southern Human Race would be around a quarter, which was the most conservative estimate.

After returning from scouting, Huang Xiaotian informed Lin Chen that the final plan was out.

"This plan involves you," Huang Xiaotian said, "They’ve decided to launch a campaign against the Forbidden Zone once they have enough strength."

Lin Chen nodded. This plan wasn’t good, but at least it gave the current Human Race a new goal.

In the following days, more people arrived from everywhere. Initially, there were indeed some conflicts, but under the backdrop of war and Chen Ming’s strong pressure, they all eventually compromised.

However, organizing a force capable of attacking the Demon Beast Forbidden Zone was quite difficult.

Three days later, unexpected fireworks erupted, and Lin Chen initially thought it was an attack from the Demon Race, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Reinforcements from the Celestial Capital have arrived?!"

Lin Chen stepped out to see the people of South City cheering joyfully, and he let out a sigh of relief, following Lee Zhen to investigate the situation.

At that moment, Chen Ming and Wu Yi, upon learning of the arrival of reinforcements, couldn’t be happier.

The arrivals were Yin Shi and Zhang Jin.

"Finally, you’re here," Chen Ming, seeing Yin Shi, was almost in tears. He sighed, "If you hadn’t come, we really wouldn’t have been able to hold on."

"Isn’t City Lord Chen doing quite well?" Yin Shi replied with a smile.

While they were on their way to support, they had already heard about the situation in South City.

Thanks to the scattering of the Monster Hunter Guild, South City was preserved, which astonished both Yin Shi and Zhang Jin.

Originally, Yin Shi and Zhang Jin didn’t bring many people, but with this preserved force, they now had hope to reclaim the south.

"Come inside," Yin Shi, understanding their misunderstanding, said with a bow.

"Please, come in," Chen Ming gestured invitingly.

When Chen Ming learned of the forces Yin Shi brought, his expression turned visibly grim.

"Only thirty thousand?!" Chen Ming’s expression was extremely troubled.

Currently, there were over two hundred thousand combatants in the south, but Yin Shi brought only thirty thousand, which was far from enough.

Actually, half of the thirty thousand were dispatched by the Yin Family, and the other half was recruited along the way.

Thus, they couldn’t be considered a regular army.

"Is the Celestial Capital really abandoning the south?" Chen Ming spoke with some agitation.

Yin Shi and Zhang Jin remained silent.

The Celestial Capital was indeed guilty of failing the south’s expectations, as it continued to defend the north.

After all, Cangling Ancient Country had always held the tradition of supporting in times of need.

"We can’t blame the Celestial Capital entirely...." Zhang Jin surprisingly defended, "We heard other information upon arrival. Currently, not only the south but central Spirit Mountain District, the west, etc., have all opened new battlegrounds."

"They’re fighting there too? When did this happen?" Chen Ming asked in surprise.

"Just in the last couple of days," Zhang Jin replied:

"The Demon Race came prepared this time. However, their motives remain unclear."

....

When Lin Chen discovered that the arrivals were Zhang Jin and Yin Shi, he was also quite surprised.

Similarly, when Zhang Jin and Yin Shi saw Lin Chen, they froze in place.

"Do you know each other?" Chen Ming asked, surprised.

Lin Chen’s connections were wide indeed?

Zhang Jin asked, "How come you’re here?"

"It’s a long story..." Lin Chen, naturally not wanting to disclose his return was to help Lee Zhen recover his arm, casually made an excuse about wanting to visit his home.

"I thought you were at the Spirit Academy," Zhang Jin said, "The rewards from the Celestial Realm Mountain gathering were sent to the Spirit Academy, and Bai Ling also returned there."

Lin Chen was about to speak when Zhang Jin added, "By the way, do you know about the situation at the Spirit Academy?"

"What situation?" Lin Chen asked.

"Apparently, the Spirit Academy is facing similar turmoil," Zhang Jin replied.

Hearing this, Lin Chen’s heart began to grow uneasy.
