"This is a critical time, and everyone must obey my orders!" Fourth Elder said sternly. "Elders Nine, Eight, and Seven, you will go to the extraterrestrial battlefield first and stabilize the situation!"
The three elders nodded slightly, and then their figures disappeared from the Dragon Country headquarters. They were core members of the Dragon Country headquarters. If even they could not stop this catastrophe, disaster would surely befall the Dragon Country.
Fifth Elder was somewhat helpless and could only obey. However, Fourth Elder was right. While the extraterrestrial battlefield was important, if no one defended the Dragon Country from within, there would likely be endless trouble.
"The Dragon Group requests to fight!"
Long Aotian suddenly knelt down. "The situation on the extraterrestrial battlefield is unclear, and the enemy has many martial arts powerhouses. Our Dragon Group has many experts. If we can go all out, it will have a great effect!"
"Don't be absurd!" Fourth Elder said coldly. "Since its establishment, the Dragon Group has been responsible for managing internal affairs of the Dragon Country. Matters on the extraterrestrial battlefield are not for you to participate in!"
"But the situation is critical now. If all the experts of the Dragon Country are dispatched, they may not be able to resist those with wolfish ambitions!" Long Aotian's imposing aura was magnificent. "As sons of the Dragon Country, how can we be afraid of death!"
"There's no need to say more, my mind is made up!" Fourth Elder said coldly. "If the Dragon Group is withdrawn, won't the Dragon Country fall into chaos!"
Long Aotian wanted to say more, but Fourth Elder waved his sleeve and turned to leave, appearing quite angry. It was a crucial moment, but they could not afford to panic.
"Go back!" Fifth Elder said. "Without Fourth Elder's order, you cannot act rashly!"
"This..."
Long Aotian frowned. "As members of the Dragon Group, we should have a resolve to die. Why is Fourth Elder so stubborn!"
"Members of the Dragon Group are the backbone of the Dragon Group. If you suffer any losses, the Dragon Country will also collapse!" Fifth Elder said. "This is also why Fourth Elder insisted on not letting the Dragon Group go!"
Long Aotian stood in place, silent. In fact, he knew very well why Fourth Elder was doing this – to preserve their foundation. They would never let the Dragon Group enter the extraterrestrial battlefield unless it was absolutely necessary, because it was the last force of the Dragon Country.
After leaving the Dragon Country headquarters, Long Aotian had just arrived in the Dragon Capital when Han Bing and others surrounded him. "What did the elders say? We are already ready to go. As soon as we receive the order, we can go to support!"
"All members of the Dragon Group, stand by!" Long Aotian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Dragon Group were somewhat disappointed. Jian Ying even asked, "Is this the elders' decision? Many compatriots on the extraterrestrial battlefield are surrounded. Why shouldn't we go!"
"As members of the Dragon Group, we must obey the elders' wishes!" Long Aotian said solemnly. "You don't need to ask any more questions! Guarding the Dragon Country's territory is also serving the Dragon Country!"
"To let us sit and wait for death is absolutely impossible!" The members of the Dragon Group shouted. "No matter what the elders decide, we will go to support!"
"What, is my word no longer effective!" Long Aotian's expression was cold. "This matter is of great importance, and the elders have their own intentions. We do not 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 strongest force in the Dragon Country. If they went to the extraterrestrial battlefield, they would surely catch the enemy off guard.
Unfortunately, Fourth Elder had given the order, and they had to obey.
Battle reports kept coming in, with countless casualties among the Dragon Country's experts, causing quite a stir. Looking at the battle reports, Fourth Elder's face was grim. Even the three elders had fallen into an ambush and were trapped in a stronghold.
"The situation looks very bad now," Fifth Elder said. "Should we wake them up!"
"They entered seclusion because it was a critical period. If we wake them up now, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts!" Fourth Elder shook his head. "It seems I have to shamelessly ask the three great sects this time!"
"Ask them!" Fifth Elder frowned. "They always prioritize their own interests. Why would they care about the fate of the Dragon Country!"
"No matter what, they grew up within the Dragon Country. Moreover, if they encounter difficulties, and if they can send some experts to the extraterrestrial battlefield, it can at least alleviate the situation," Fourth Elder said with a solemn expression.
"I'll accompany you!"
Fifth Elder said, "If they are unwilling, we will forcefully deter them!"
"If the Great Elder were here, it might be possible!" Fourth Elder said with a wry smile. "But with us, it's not certain we can forcefully deter them. None of the leaders of the three great sects are simple characters!"
Fifth Elder frowned. If that were the case, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to get the three great sects to send people.
"You stay and guard. I will go alone!" Fourth Elder said directly.
Fifth Elder nodded slightly and did not argue further. With Fourth Elder going alone, it was already enough.
Meanwhile, at Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan looked at the extraterrestrial battlefield, and his expression instantly turned cold. How could he not tell that something big had happened on the extraterrestrial battlefield.
"My lord, many experts from the Qingyun Sect have joined the stronghold defense battle!" Elder Han reported. "Unfortunately, the enemy has too many experts. Should we go to the extraterrestrial battlefield!"
"Many countries have united to attack the Dragon Country! If ordinary Grandmasters go, they will be of no use." Lu Fan waved his hand. "This is a time of national crisis. Have the three hidden sects sent anyone to support!"
"The three hidden sects have always only cared about their own strength. Why would they send people to support!" Elder Han said with a wry smile. "It's already very good that they haven't attacked the Dragon Country's interior at this time!"
"The three sects absorb the Dragon Country's destiny. Now, at the critical moment of life and death, they remain indifferent!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with killing intent.
It was a pity that he did not have such powerful strength yet. Otherwise, he would definitely destroy the three great sects. The Dragon Country did not need such leeches.
"Elder Han, you will accompany me to the three great sects!" Lu Fan said imposingly.
Elder Han nodded slightly, but he was a little worried. He did not expect Lu Fan to be so forceful. If they really went, it would likely cause quite a stir.
However, on the way, Lu Fan happened to meet Fourth Elder, and their common destination was the Medicine King Valley.
"Little Lu, where are you going!" Fourth Elder said sternly.
"Naturally, to the Medicine King Valley!" Lu Fan said softly. "The three great sects have many experts. When the Dragon Country is in trouble, they should indeed act!"
"Since that's the case, then come with me!" Fourth Elder said. "I'm afraid things won't be as smooth as imagined!" Su Dan Novel Network
He knew very well that the three great sects valued profit. Getting them to deal with external enemies would not be easy.
Meanwhile, inside the Medicine King Valley, many high-ranking officials of the Medicine King Valley were in the conference room, looking vigilant and their expressions changed. They did not expect such a turn of events.
