Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 419 - 420: Making Matters Worse! The Wanderer Army Assembles!

Chapter 419: Chapter 420: Making Matters Worse! The Wanderer Army Assembles!

The first time the Snow Mountain Territory encountered the marauders, they performed exceptionally well.

Their performance even exceeded everyone’s expectations.

However, whether the Snow Mountain Territory could laugh last was still an unknown.

The marauders were all ruthless individuals, and if a territory slaughtered them, they would retaliate fiercely.

Because the concessions and retreats of many territories were precisely the means of survival for these marauders.

They did not engage in production or manufacturing, and could only obtain resources through theft and plunder.

The various territories scattered everywhere became supply stations for these marauders.

To keep these cash machines continuously providing for them,

they must thoroughly suppress any rebels that appear.

Otherwise, all territories would emulate them, leaving no living space for the marauders.

The scouts from the Snow Mountain Territory quickly returned from all directions with a slew of bad news.

In the main hall of the Snow Mountain Territory’s dominion.

Gu Qijue was seated at the top, on the throne of the ruler.

Yifei, Horn, and Tie Yi sat on the right below.

The ruler’s hall was already crowded with many scouts.

They appeared somewhat tense, having seemingly encountered something terrifying on this outing.

Gu Qijue looked toward the scouts below and spoke calmly.

"No need to be nervous, just elaborate on what you found out."

Upon hearing this, the scout below immediately bowed in respect.

Steadying his emotions, he spoke with a trembling voice:

"Lord Ruler, I am the scout sent to the east to gather intelligence."

"My team and I discovered a large gathering of warships in the east."

"These warships are land-faring vessels, each filled with marauders."

"From our careful observation, there might be around six to eight thousand marauders!"

Currently, the population of the Snow Mountain Territory is significant, but the number of combat personnel is not large.

The combat personnel of the Snow Mountain Territory number around fifteen thousand.

The remaining seventy to eighty thousand people are non-combat personnel below the F-Tier Cosmic Level.

There were already so many enemies just in the east.

Thus, the total number of enemies this time might be at least twice as much as the Snow Mountain Territory, or even more.

Although Gu Qijue had previously led the warriors of the Snow Mountain Territory to victory against the marauders,

the fear in everyone’s hearts of the marauders had not been completely dispelled.

Especially since the number of marauders the territory faced this time might be unbelievably large.

After the first scout reported, the second scout immediately stepped forward.

This scout first gave a respectful salute to Gu Qijue, then spoke with even more anxiety:

"Respected Lord Ruler, I am the scout leader sent south to gather intelligence."

"We found three marauder groups banding together in the south."

"These three marauder groups each have around three thousand members."

"Together, they already exceed ten thousand in number."

This news, without doubt, was somewhat frightening.

There were six to eight thousand marauders in the east.

In the south, there were more than ten thousand marauders gathering towards the Snow Mountain Territory.

The combat personnel of the Snow Mountain Territory were already at a disadvantage in numbers.

Next, the third scout leader finally brought a piece of good news.

"Reporting to Lord Ruler, the number of marauders in the west is relatively small, only around two thousand."

"However, these marauders brought bad news."

"It seems there is an uncertain number of Heaven-Fighting Race approaching the Snow Mountain Territory."

Compared to marauders, the Heaven-Fighting Race is undoubtedly more challenging to deal with.

The marauders were merely a bunch of robbers, whereas the Heaven-Fighting Race was an exceptionally elite regular army.

Moreover, in the Heaven-Fighting Universe, the Heaven-Fighting Race has always been the rulers.

If a large number of Heaven-Fighting Race was killed in this place,

the Snow Mountain Territory would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Heaven-Fighting Race.

If the Ten Thousand Races Territory was noticed by the Heaven-Fighting Race, its fate would be sealed, and it would be set for complete annihilation.

Even at their most powerful peak, the creatures of Ten Thousand Races could not oppose the Heaven-Fighting Race.

As for now, the creatures of Ten Thousand Races could only hide, living in fear from the massacres of the Heaven-Fighting Race, without the ability to engage them in a major battle.

After the third scout leader, the fourth scout leader brought news of a very bad situation.

This person stepped forward, bowed to Gu Qijue, and stuttered:

"L-lord Ruler, b-bad news."

This person was not a stammerer; his body was trembling and words stumbling because he was injured.

Moreover, the scouts sent north saw something very terrifying.

Gathering his courage, he continued, "Lord Ruler, we are the scouts dispatched to the north."

"More than thirty thousand marauders were discovered in the north, converging in this direction!"

"What... what should we do?"

Gu Qijue previously fought well, but after killing those marauders, he truly stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Six to eight thousand in the east, ten thousand in the south, two thousand in the west, and thirty thousand in the north.

In other words, the total number of marauders this time was around forty-eight to fifty thousand!

Apart from the marauders, there might be the Heaven-Fighting Race moving in this direction.

The Snow Mountain Territory currently has only fifteen thousand combat personnel.

The number of enemies is more than three times their size. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Even if the marauders are repelled, they still must face the more terrifying warriors of the Heaven-Fighting Race.

Faced with such a situation, it’s no wonder the last scout was so terrified and desperate.

Not only were these scouts fearful, but Yifei, Horn, and Tie Yi also appeared extremely grim.

The Snow Mountain Territory had significant potential, but its development time was far too brief!

Given enough development time for the Snow Mountain Territory, the situation would undoubtedly be different.

But, as it stands, nothing more can be said.

They needed to consider how to survive this massive crisis at present.

Horn, mature and prudent, was highly experienced in handling crises.

After listening to the four scouts, Horn wasted no time and immediately stated his position.

"Lord Ruler, we must leave."

"This time, we face at least forty-eight thousand enemies, yet our combat personnel number only fifteen thousand."

"Even if our weapons are superior, we still find ourselves at a severe disadvantage."

"Moreover, even if we can withstand the marauders, we cannot contend with the Heaven-Fighting Race."

"At present, our strength is too weak."

"Only by preserving ourselves will we have greater development in the future."

"Only by preserving ourselves can we one day possess the means to contend with the Heaven-Fighting Race!"

Horn’s suggestion was to retreat immediately, but Gu Qijue was not prepared to do so.
