Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 207 - 208: Seven Great Tribes

"All that is in the past now. The Seven Great Tribes have fully submitted to Tuoba Wenjian and are no longer acting independently. Instead, they have united into a force that pledges direct allegiance to him."

"Each of the Seven Great Tribes has its own duties. For example, the Black Ghost Tribe that invaded the border garrisons of Hu Ben Country are considered heavy cavalry within the Barbarian Country. Each warrior rides atop a massive, thick-skinned Black Horned Beast. The Black Horned Beast, a unique Demon Beast to the Barbarian Country, mutated from black rhinos, sporting two horns and covered in a layer of thick armor that is impervious to blades and spears. They’re incredibly tough to deal with. It was these Black Horned Beasts that directly breached three of our garrisons. All in all, this time is different from before. It is said that the Hu Ben King, who originally intended to personally question the King of the Northern Territory, now has no choice but to set the matter aside."

A Fifth Generation Disciple who obviously knew some inside information spoke gravely.

Hearing this, everyone else furrowed their brows.

"Just who is this Tuoba Wenjian, to possess such divine powers..."

Not long after, an instructor from the Internal Affairs Hall came out. He glanced at the bustling crowd and said, "For the moment, all missions are suspended and changed to a single mission: proceed to the Northern Territory and aid the local army in resisting the invasion from the Barbarian Country. This time, it is a national warfare mission. Our Divine Wind Camp will also fully comply with the orders of Iron Spear Divine Marquis. For this national warfare mission, all mission rewards will be doubled, and those with strength beyond that of a Great Martial Master can take on the task!"

As the instructor finished speaking, everyone went mad. Double merit rewards?

A crowd of people surged inside like they were spellbound.

Lin Feng was also among the crowd, not expecting that national warfare missions had been issued. This was just what he wanted. He had toiled away in the Refining Fire Room and spent ten thousand merits, only to advance by one layer.

"Haha, I got one! Defend Yumen Pass for thirty days and return with ten thousand merits!"

"I got one too, but mine is an assassination mission. I have to kill thirty guys from the Black Ghost Tribe!"

Many Fifth Generation Disciples who had snatched up missions were extremely excited. The battlefield not only brought them no fear but excitement instead.

Lin Feng had also grabbed a mission, an assassination mission as well.

"Lin Feng, you’re here too?"

Yang Min’s voice came over, and Lin Feng turned to see that the latter had also obtained a mission.

"Oh? You’ve made a breakthrough?"

Lin Feng asked.

"I just broke through not long ago. It coincides with the national warfare mission. Lin Feng, where are you headed? Mine is Jiayu Pass!" Yang Min squeezed over and spoke to Lin Feng on the side.

"Mine is Jiayu Pass as well."

Lin Feng glanced at the mission details, which indeed listed Jiayu Pass.

"What a coincidence, then let’s go together?"

Yang Min smiled.

Lin Feng didn’t refuse. Upon leaving the Internal Affairs Hall, various calls to recruit partners had already begun outside.

"Those going to Yumen Pass, Great Martial Masters Third Layer and above, join me. We’re leaving now, still short of three people. The team leader is a Great Martial Master Sixth Layer!"

"Anyone headed to Blood Jade Pass? Martial Masters First Layer and above, come, but don’t drag us down!"

"National warfare missions carry risks. If you’re afraid of dying, don’t come. I am only recruiting brave men for a campaign to Soaring Dragon Pass. Starting at fifty men!"

Calls to recruit partners came one after another endlessly.

This time, the front line of the Seven Great Tribes’ invasion was very long, and the flames of war spread to a full six garrisons.

"Lin Feng? You’ve taken up a mission as well? Are you interested in joining us?"

A Fifth Generation Disciple saw Lin Feng and even took the initiative to invite him very courteously.

Lin Feng waved his hand, directly declining. Along the way, many people invited Lin Feng, who by now was no fool to underestimate. In many people’s eyes, Lin Feng was a Fifth Generation Disciple, and among them, he was quite a strong one.

"Wow, Lin Feng, this time, I feel like I’ve latched onto a big thigh."

Yang Min said with a smile.

"You’d better hold on tight then."

Lin Feng responded with a smile, then quickly prepared some essentials with Yang Min and arranged to meet up in the afternoon to head for Jiayu Pass together.

Reaching the thatched cottage, they found Wang Shan had just returned, holding a national war mission in his hands as well.

"You’ve taken on a mission too?"

Wang Shan nodded, scratching his head, "In times of national crisis, every man has a responsibility. I’m now a Great Martial Master Second Layer, so I should contribute my strength too. I heard that several Chief Instructors went to the frontline yesterday, leaving only one in green sitting tight here. We can’t just hide behind. Of course, the main thing is, an opportunity like this to earn Merit shouldn’t be wasted."

With that, Wang Shan chuckled.

Hearing this, Lin Feng thought that Wang Shan was rather cunning, but he was also voicing what many others felt: the aim was to gain experience and accumulate merit. As for fighting for the country, with their level as Great Martial Masters, they were barely squad leader material on the battlefield and couldn’t change much.

Lin Feng glanced at Wang Shan’s mission and saw that he was to go to Yumen Pass, which was not the same way as his.

"In that case, take care."

"Don’t worry, my Star may only be Fifth Grade, but it’s suited for the battlefield. I’ll have no problem keeping myself safe."

Wang Shan said with a laugh, then went back to his room to prepare.

Wang Shan’s Star was a Fifth Grade mole, adept at digging and earth escape, and also had decent attack power.

After Lin Feng went back to his room, there wasn’t much for him to prepare. By the afternoon, he set off with Yang Min towards the Northern Territory.

Three days later, Lin Feng and Yang Min arrived at Jiayu Pass. Along the way, they encountered many commoners fleeing the Northern Territory with their families in tow.

Inside the garrison, a full hundred thousand Northern Territory soldiers had gathered; vast rows of military tents stretched as far as the eye could see. Many of the younger soldiers looked hurried, and quite a few were already wounded. Among these young soldiers were disciples of the Three Sects and members of Green Wolf Camp.

"You guys should go to General Mansion’s training field for assembly."

One of the deputy generals responsible for the reception told Lin Feng and the others, then hurriedly left.

Lin Feng and the others went straight to the training field after hearing the instructions. At this time, there were already hundreds gathered there. Upon seeing Lin Feng and the others arrive, they simply glanced over.

"Been here for seven days, haven’t seen a single barbarian’s fart."

"I arrived before you, and I saw a barbarian squad. They were like Fierce Tigers Descending the Mountain. Just seven of them wiped out a small Northern Territory army squad of thirty and even managed to escape. I’m telling you guys, don’t let your guard down. Moreover, within the Black Ghost Tribe, there are many young experts like us; except for slightly weaker combat skills, they are not inferior to us at all."

A Taishan Sect Inner Sect Disciple said meaningfully, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Psh, experts? Bullshit. They’re just a bunch of savages who grew up eating roots and herbs. As long as they don’t encounter disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect, we show no mercy!"

A young swordsman said with a chilling killing aura.

"Lin Feng, are barbarians really that scary?"

Yang Min asked somewhat fearfully.

Lin Feng nodded, "Don’t underestimate them. A regular barbarian can withstand seven Northern Territory soldiers."

"That strong?"

Yang Min was shocked; the notion of one person taking on seven was startling.

At that moment, there arose a commotion—a giant flying Demon Beast was flapping its wings, soaring into the sky.
