Chapter 626: Chapter 114: Revisiting Ancient Dreams (Part 6)
"The War God is not the elven deity but rather our Human Race’s Heavenly God."
Lu Hong’s words exploded like a bomb, igniting the village’s deepest passions.
"The War God is our Human Race’s Heavenly God? My heavens!"
Of course, there were some who didn’t believe it, and Hai Ge spoke solemnly, "Young Clan Leader, some words cannot be carelessly spoken. If our Human Race really had a Heavenly God, why would we be living a life akin to being caged and slaughtered at will?"
"The War God indeed is the Heavenly God of the Human Race, but no longer in this world. Therefore, we can only learn the Secret Technique through dreams," Lu Hong said. "But this Secret Technique is not something only I can learn."
"Is that true?!" Hai Ge was startled by Lu Hong’s words, knowing well that the Secret Technique he mastered could not be taught to others through words, as it was a byproduct of unleashing his innate powerful talent.
In the early stages of the Era of the Gods, the Human Race did not have a Cultivation Method to harness nature’s spiritual energy, but there were those of exceptional talent who found unique pathways to wield Skills using their unique gifts.
It was through the research of these individuals that the mysteries of Spiritual Energy were unraveled, creating the Meditation Technique that carved out a bloody path for the Human Race in this brutal world, laying the foundation for generations to come.
"It is indeed true." Lu Hong stood up, looked around him, and then commanded in a hushed tone, "Everyone close your eyes, sit cross-legged, and listen to my command!"
Given that this young Clan Leader could stand toe-to-toe with Hai Ge, the villagers innately felt a trace of fear, especially since he was to be their future Clan Leader.
No one resisted in that moment, even Clan Leader Xiao fell in line.
Hai Ge asked somewhat nervously, "Can... can I do it too?"
"Of course, you can."
After receiving Lu Hong’s affirmative reply, Hai Ge also quickly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
"Focus your mind, listen carefully!" Lu Hong meticulously explained the Meditation Technique to everyone.
Due to the abundant nature of spiritual energy, even villagers with ordinary talents could immediately feel streams of Spiritual Energy penetrating their bodies.
Those with superior talents experienced breakthroughs in an instant, formally stepping onto the First Transition’s first level, changing professions to warriors.
Hai Ge broke through three levels in one go, soaring to the status of a level three warrior.
The sensation of Fighting Spirit filling his body intoxicated Hai Ge; although he was aware of the mystical power within him, he had never been able to harness it flexibly. Now, the Fighting Spirit cultivated through meditation obeyed his every command, which was infinitely more useful than his innate talent for fire.
"Tonight you shall cultivate here, and at dawn, I will pass on the War God’s combat Secret Technique on his behalf," Lu Hong finished and patted Beisha’s little forehead.
Beisha complained with a touch of grievance, "Brother Xiao Zheng, why can’t I cultivate that kind of yellow thing?"
Lu Hong smiled, "That’s not suited for you. I’ll find a profession that fits you better, and I guarantee you’ll be even stronger than me."
"Really?"
"Truly."
"Okay, what do we do now?"
"Go make something to eat for me, I’m hungry."
"Oh, alright..."
In the dimly lit dungeon, a soft tread of footsteps suddenly echoed. freēwēbnovel.com
The old wolf did not need to guess who had come.
So he rose and knelt, waiting for the arrival of the master of those footsteps.
Viscount Akes entered the dungeon alone, approached the old wolf with a very gloomy face, "Wolf Turbulence! Do you realize the gravity of your sin?"
"Wolf Turbulence does not know." The old wolf claimed ignorance, though his heart was clearly aware. The two humans were intended as food for Leicester, and they were meals Leicester highly prized. As the firstborn of a top family in the central region of this world, Leicester held sway over someone like Akes from a remote area, much like an Emperor. If he served Leicester well, any small reward would be enough to ensure a family’s prosperity for a hundred years.
And it was Viscount Akes’s hope to leverage Leicester’s power to snatch the Beixing Mountain from Viscount Le Leng’s grasp. After the failure to capture the two Humans, Leicester left the Viscount Akes’s Residence without a word, likely putting an end to those plans.
So Akes truly hated Old Wolf to death. When the latter returned empty-handed, Akes, without a second word, ordered him to be thrown into prison, and only today came to inquire about the matter.
But for Old Wolf, the mere arrival of Viscount Akes meant that there was still hope for him to live on.
Akes asked with an indifferent expression, "Tell me, why did you let that human go?"
"Your Excellency, it was because of the elves."
"Just an elf, and as I’ve heard, there was only one. I managed to allocate thousands of elite troops to you, so are you saying that you couldn’t defeat the other party?"
Old Wolf let out a bitter smile, "Viscount, we might really not be able to kill her. Not only can we not kill her, we might even have been annihilated by her alone."
"Hmm?" Akes frowned slightly, "What makes you say that?"
"Your Excellency, are you aware of the Third Royal Army of the elf race—the Wind Walker Army?"
"The Wind Walker Army!" Akes, of course, knew it—every beastman did. It was this very army that had annihilated the most powerful Berserker Legion of the beastman nation, causing the beastman nation’s strength to recede by almost a century.
"Are you saying that elf is from the Wind Walker Army?"
"Not only that, she’s also the captain of the guard for the Wind Walker Army."
During the Era of the Gods, the military system’s job titles were actually not very varied. The lowest rank was squad leader, followed by platoon leader, then guard captain, right general, and on to great general and supreme commander.
A squad leader commanded a hundred people, a platoon leader a thousand people, and a guard captain could command ten thousand. Each guard captain was a central fighting force within their race. Possessing tremendous strength, they were not beings that a small character from a far-flung area could contend with.
If this elf guard captain were angered, it was likely that the entire Viscount Akes’s Residence could be leveled by her.
Akes was clearly shaken by this information and asked hastily, "Are you sure?"
"I’m certain, the three-pronged insignia on her shoulder cannot be mistaken. She’s undoubtedly an elf guard captain."
"Good." Akes recovered from his shock, and then no longer held Old Wolf accountable. Instead, he even appreciated Old Wolf’s action inwardly—if it weren’t for Old Wolf’s initiative to withdraw, anybody else would have likely provoked this powerful being. Between Beixing Mountain and the Akes family legacy, Akes knew which was more important.
"Stay in prison and recuperate with peace of mind. I will find a way to get you out." Although Akes had absolute power, the affair at Beixing Mountain was also coveted by his allies and the clan elders. Old Wolf had to take the blame to appease them.
We must still try to obtain Leicester’s favor as for the elves. This guard captain of the Wind Walker Army was after all a prominent figure among the elves. Why she suddenly appeared here was a mystery—could she be on some important military mission?
Akes felt this news was vital to report to Leicester, perhaps he could even make a contribution by doing so.
The next morning, after a night of meditation, the villagers felt not only unruffled but also several times more spirited than usual.
Lu Hong also began teaching them how to practice the warrior’s skills. Without the teachings of a Heavenly God, self-taught learning wasn’t very effective, but the villagers were all fine specimens who had survived the beastmen hunts. Even the women in their fifties had remarkable hands-on abilities.
After a morning of learning, in addition to Hai Ge, three other villagers had successfully mastered the War Challenge skill.
Having taught these three villagers, Lu Hong’s task became much easier. In the future, he only needed to teach the skills to these four, who would then teach the rest of the villagers.
And so, under the fervor of over half a month’s intense training, more than half of the village’s five hundred people had successfully reached the Mid-Stage of the First Transition and mastered two fighter skills: Cleave, Sand Explosion, and War Challenge. Hier Ge also learned an additional close combat interruption skill, Heavy Fist.
As the overall strength of the village increased, problems began to surface. The most pressing issue was weapons. Warriors mainly used swords, and Lu Hong was particularly fond of using Heavy Swords, but because the village was in a constant state of migration, there had been almost no development of manufacturing. Every iron weapon the village owned had been seized by Hai Ge from the beastmen.
Currently, they were using wooden swords for temporary practice and learning skills, which wasn’t very effective.
So Hai Ge suggested to Lu Hong, "We could go to the market near Nansha for purchases."
"Nansha?"
"That’s right." Hai Ge nodded, "There are many villages of our human race within the Nansha Great Forest. They have formed defensive alliances with each other and represent a sacred ground for humans that the beastmen rarely dare to disturb."
"The beastmen dare not disturb them? There must be other reasons, right?"
"Hmm, I’ve heard that a superhuman of our race lives there - Lei Sai, who controls the power of thunder and has unparalleled destructive capabilities. He once single-handedly destroyed the nation of a beastman marquis and even successfully escaped from the hands of the Beastman Deity. He is the undisputed number one powerhouse of the human race."
Lei Sai!
Lu Hong’s brows twitched. Wasn’t this the first Heavenly God of the human race?
