Shen Niu was surprised so did Rhino but Shadowslash following words change their expression as they started feeling grave and solemn.

"I know that the two of you would attend the meeting a couple of weeks later but I know for a fact it is nigh impossible for your group to arrive on time so I decided to come here and tell you why I initiated the meeting."

​​

He took a deep breath, He then looks at Rhino and Shen Niu as he slowly said "The Aqua Race Clan will finally initiate a full blown war to this continent and it will start next month."

The set of cups in Rhino's hand nearly falls into the floor because of the shock.

After a while the two calms down and Rhino spoke "Master, I might sound rather audacious but considering the time isn't it a bit short to completely build a hidden base?."

Shadowslash shook his head and said "Who said that I would set a deadline to Snowfall City? I meant that you would focus your effort in building the secret base while I send a couple of team to protect this place."

Rhino become ecstatic even though he knew that Shen Niu's soldiers were powerful but against a real powerhouse they would be decimated.

Rhino kneels as he spoke full of respect "Master your trust to me is as great as the boundless ocean I swore in my name I will accomplish this task as fast as possible."

Shadowslash nodded as he knew he could trust his personal guards.

Rhino served the two of them but Shadowslash's question nearly trips him over as Shen Niu's face became beet red.

"By the way consider me as nosy but from my memory Miss Shen Niu have claimed before that she will only marry those that are stronger than her but judging from how the two of you interact it seems that you two are really close."

Rhino did not know how to answer he look daze as he was speechless thankfully for him Shen Niu spoke "It's because Rhino have been helping my territory and have been protecting it not to mention his strength is nearly equal to mine."

"The two of us have been working with each other as we finally learns about each other and became close friends."

Shadowslash looks at the two intensely and said "Close friends huh?."

He could only shake his head as he finish his cup of coffee and left Snowfall City before he left he took a couple of elites from the cavalry division his intention is to have them train some of his soldiers back to his city how to fight as a light cavalry.

The cavalry of Snowfall City is very renowned but because of the lack of food the soldiers have developed a somewhat ferocious attitude of never letting a prey go that is what had honed their combat capability.

When he brought the elite cavalry members they were at first apprehensive but after Shadowslash continuous support they finally assimilated to their new group.

Shadowslash returns back to his mansion tired after a whole day of work he then slept without having dinner first.

This continue until the day of the meeting have arrived when the meeting was adjourned a shocking news was spread throughout Shadowslash's territory.

The Aqua Race Clan have initiated a full blown war against Beast Continent.

Suddenly the civilians started to become apprehensive and nervous in the incoming month.

The most nervous ones were the soldiers and their family for the soldiers they were nervous because they knew that if they were defeated their families would be either enslaved or killed.

For the families they knew that the soldiers would have a low chance of returning back to them so they are quite emotional.

The entire territory is enveloped with an aura of gloom because Shadowslash was busy he wasn't able to help the civilians easing up their mood.

The awaited time finally dawns on Beast Continent as the people in various places in the outer part of the continent were extremely nervous.

Back to where Shadowslash is, He was standing in front of a barricade that he personally build.

Behind him were soldiers that were gripping their weapons tightly and we're ready to take the Aqua Race Clan on for the sake of protecting their family and home.

Just a couple of meters behind Shadowslash were the city lords looking very solemn flying in the most forefront of the entire group were 7 dragons looking in the distance with ferocity.

Suddenly horns were heard blaring out as the earth trembles upon the entrance of the Aqua Race Clan.

Then like a tide of ants the Aqua Race Clan finally appeared and they started advancing towards different direction.

Shadowslash couldn't help but suck on a deep breath as he realized that the Aqua Race Clan is truly terrifying considering the the number of Aqua Race Clan soldiers going to the shore he was amazed.

Knowing that his territory is just a part of the entire outer part of Beast Continent that meant that this was happening throughout the outer party of the continent.

Shadowslash shouted "My people our time is near, This will be our greatest test, Fight for your life! Fight for your family! Fight for our home!."

The soldiers behind him started raising their weapons and started shouting their battle cry their momentum increased.

The charging tides of soldiers from the Aqua Race Clan heard their cry and felt their momentum and they also let out their battle cry.

Shadowslash snorted as he waves his hand and a cluster of bugs appeared on the sky. The soldiers behind him were confused but they knew that he wouldn't make any unnecessary moves so they waited and hold their weapons as those that were wielding the bows took a step forward and pulls their string.

Once the Aqua Race Clan passed through a certain distance Shadowslash shouted "East Part fire!."

Suddenly the archers that were already pulling their bows released them as numerous arrows were shot towards the charging enemy soldiers.

The charging soldiers from the Aqua Race Clan saw the incoming rain of arrows and have already expected this as behind the frontliners their mages summoned a water barrier that blocked most of the arrows.

But some still managed to pierce the barrier as the rain of arrows continue.

The archers continue to shoot their arrows this time they aren't aiming at a specific direction and just released them.

The elites of their group have climbed into the wall as they target those that were advancing the fastest.

The Aqua Race Clan started throwing spears and water spears towards Shadowslash's side.

Shadowslash pointed at the incoming spears and said one word "Burn."

The 8 dragons flying suddenly let's out their roar simultaneously, they then opens their mouth and started firing [Flame Bullets] towards the incoming spear.

The bullets caused mist to cover the sky as the water spears evaporate and flew towards the sky.

Shadowslash's expression was extremely solemn as he looks at the sunny sky and knew that their situation would definitely changed as more waters evaporated.

The soldiers of the Aqua Race Clan knew that they have to take down these 8 dragons if not their attacks would be of no use against Shadowslash's forces.

They might have armors that fend off the arrows but they knew that it was just temporary if their water barrier breaks then they would greet the shower of rains with nothing but their armors.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Loud roars were heard in the battlefield as the leader of the Aqua Race Clan blows the horn he was holding.

Dozen of giants beasts started advancing towards the barricade.

The dozen beasts were different kinds of marine beasts that could walk through land.

Giant turtles of different species and giant crabs which were also in different species their powerful armors fends off the attacks with ease and beasts that looks like that they lives on land.

The expression of the city lords standing just behind Shadowslash became solemn as they feel the aura of these beasts.

Yes without exception all of these beasts were Xiantian beasts.

One of the behemoth beast let's out a roar as he started digging making a giant ball made out of earth.

It then threw the ball towards the barricade with a speed comparable to that of a flying missile.

Shadowslash orders one of the dragon clone to intercept the incoming balls of earth.

Bang! The dragon clone managed to intercept the huge clump of earth but it was pushed and nearly collided with the barricade if Shadowslash hadn't help it stabilized it's flight.

Shadowslash looks at the giant behemoth and saw that it was making a giant clump of earth once again.

The eight dragon clones stops their barrage of [Flame Bullets] and opens their mouth as they fired their [Dragon Breath] towards the behemoth.
