Chapter 315: The Union Government’s losses

Once the two King Beasts were killed, the beast wave was like a headless chicken as the beasts lost all guidance. They all began scattering out of fear since they knew that if they were to stay any longer, they would all be killed.

Of course, the human experts wouldn't just let these beasts roam around on the continent since each one of them had the potential to cause damage for normal people.

The human experts ran after the various beasts that scattered in all directions, not caring for anything as their only thought was to cut these beasts down. Of course, the ones in charge didn't let them chase too far just in case anything were to happen.

However, none of the beasts had any intentions of fighting. They just ran even though their comrades were being cut down since they were completely demoralized by the loss of their King Beast commanders.

Lin Fan came over once the wolf had been taken down, but he didn't make any move towards the corpse like he had with the little bunny. This was the unwritten rule between humans, they wouldn't take each other's loot if they even had a shred of dignity.

Moreover, it didn't matter like with the little bunny since the laws that this wolf had was something that he could already get from Yin. Once Yin broke through, he was certain that he would be able to get the full set of shadow laws from him.

The two Legendary Realm Experts also ignored this corpse since they had something more important to do.

They called over the commander of the Union Government forces, but it took a while for that person to come over since he had been running deep into enemy forces to cut down the beasts with his soldiers.

During the time they were waiting, they accessed the Union Government's secret information network for any information on what had just happened.

The Lin Family ancestor also shared what he found with Lin Fan since he realized that he had completely underestimated Lin Fan. Lin Fan was already strong enough to defeat a peak Fragmented Soul Realm King Beast that would require him to work with Mu Bo Hai to defeat.

Didn't that mean that Lin Fan was already as strong as he was?

But thinking of the special power that Lin Fan had, it did make sense since that was the greatest secret of the Lin Family…

On the information network of the Union Government, it was complete chaos.

It turned out that it wasn't just their beast wave that had two King Beasts, every single beast wave had two different King Beasts leading them.

This had caught the Union Government off guard and most importantly, it had caught all the experts that had been sent to deal with these beast waves off guard.

The losses that the Union Government suffered wasn't light, in fact it could even be considered the worst case scenario.

There were half of the Legendary Realm Experts that had been seriously injured and the rest had all been injured to varying degrees. There had even been a Legendary Realm Expert who had been killed!

Of course, it wasn't all bad news since there were three beast waves that had been stopped.

It was the beast wave that Lin Fan's group had been at, the beast wave that was stopped by the Union Government president, and the beast wave that was stopped by the general of the Union Government's army.

Those two could be considered the strongest experts on this entire Blue Star Planet, not because of their own cultivation, but because of the special artifacts that they received because of their position.

However, what this meant was that there were still seven waves that were currently heading right for Snow Wind City and they had less than ten Legendary Realm Experts to deal with them.

The humans had suddenly found themselves completely outnumbered by the beasts.

There were many messages on the secret information network that came from commanding officers about this topic.

To put it simply, many of them were considering just sacrificing Snow Wind City for the good of the entire Blue Star Planet.

They would let the beast destroy Snow Wind City, leaving the local forces to hold out as long as possible while they waited for the reinforcements from the upper realm.

Judging by the trend that was appearing on the secret information network, it seemed like almost all of the officers were agreeing to this plan, there were very few that opposed it.

Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows when he saw this.

While his family was no longer in Snow Wind City, that didn't mean that there was no one he knew there.

There were still his friends that were still living in the city, unaware of all of this.

When he paused to think, he also couldn't stop the appearance of a single girl from appearing in his mind.

While they were waiting, the commander of the Union Government's forces had finally been pulled back from chasing the beasts and arrived in front of them.

As an official commander, he clearly had more clearance than everyone else present since they were all only working with the Union Government out of mutual interest. The commander was the one that was relaying the official orders of the Union Government to them.

The commander quickly checked his own communication device and after being surprised by what he saw, he slowly said, "Lord Lin, Lord Mu, the orders we have received are to go back to Union Government headquarters to regroup."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even deeper when he heard this since he could hear the underlying implication of this order.

With how long it would take them to head back to the Union Government headquarters, how long it would take to reorganize, and how long it would take to get to Snow Wind City, it was clear that they wouldn't make it in time.

Then there was the fact that there was no order for evacuation given for Snow Wind City at all, it was almost as if they had locked down all information for that city. Without knowing anything, they would have no idea that the beast waves were heading to them.

While the local forces would have their own information networks which would allow them to learn about the beast waves approaching them before they arrived, it would definitely be too late for them to evacuate. That would mean that Snow Wind City would have no choice but to fight to survive.

But would they be able to fight seven different beast waves that contained a total of fourteen King Beasts?

That would almost certainly seal their doom!

It was clear that this was a sacrifice move on the part of the Union Government. They were planning on using the lives of the people in Snow Wind City to stall for time for the upper realm reinforcements to arrive.

They didn't evacuate them since they couldn't just let the Beast Race find the artifact after all, so someone had to take the sacrifice to stop them for as long as possible.

When Lin Fan had thought through all of this, there was a look of rage that appeared on his face as he looked at the commander.

The commander could see this look on Lin Fan's face and even though Lin Fan was young, he couldn't help feeling a bit of fear because of the way Lin Fan looked at him. After all, he had been there to see Lin Fan helping the two Legendary Realm Experts fight against the King Beasts, so he definitely didn't dare look down on Lin Fan.

Feeling this fear, he couldn't help raising his weapon as he took a step back.

The Lin Family ancestor naturally also saw this and he immediately came forward to take Lin Fan by the shoulder.

The moment Lin Fan felt the hand falling on his shoulder, he turned his gaze to the Lin Family ancestor who could feel the murderous intent coming from him.

When the Lin Family ancestor felt this, he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows as well.

How did such a young man have such a thick killing intent?

This killing intent that Lin Fan had came partly from the various beasts that he and his pets had fought in the cultivation realms, but it also came from his previous life. He definitely was not someone who had mercy in his previous life.

But the Lin Family ancestor still said, "It's not his fault, he's just the messenger."

Once Lin Fan heard this, he immediately realized his mistake and retracted his killing intent.

After standing there in thought for a bit, he said, "I'm going to Snow Wind City."

The Lin Family ancestor didn't hesitate as he said, "No, you can't do that. It's too dangerous."

Mu Bo Hai who had been observing on the side also said, "Owner Lin, it is indeed too dangerous." Then after a pause, he said, "Perhaps we can ask your esteemed master to make a move?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

What master? Did he have such a thing?

It seemed like his lie had come to bite him in the butt in the end.

But still, Lin Fan said, "It isn't convenient for my master to act."

Mu Bo Hai gave a sigh before saying, "Then perhaps it's best to leave Snow Wind City alone."

But Lin Fan wouldn't accept this as he said, "I'm going to Snow Wind City."

This time, his tone gave no room for discussion.
