Chapter 1085

That would effectively eliminate some unknown threats in the barbarian zones.

Once these beasts enter, they can serve as the Flame Empire's eyes; then the Flame Empire can send warriors to gradually subdue the barbarian tribes one by one, turning the entire barbarian zone into the Flame Empire's beast pasture.

This was Meng Ying's conception.

And to accomplish this conception, it won't take long.

The key here is the girl Jian!

The girl Jian has a keen sensitivity to human intentions.

She can sense that Meng Ying is sincere.

So, her interactions with Meng Ying are also pleasant.

And as Meng Ying told her some tales of the Flame Lord, her curiosity about the Flame Lord grew increasingly strong.

The she-wolf she rode was even more curious about the Flame Lord.

The reason is simple.

The she-wolf's clan, the Frost Wolves, can draw energy from the starlight of the Flame Lord's divine star, and when mixed with lunar energy, their power grows significantly faster.

In fact, the Frost Wolves have known this secret for quite some time.

During this period, some Frost Wolves have even begun to revere Lin Yan's divine star as their sacred star.

On the Continent of Gods, beasts are beasts—they generally cannot take human form, except for certain special beasts like dragons or beings like Medusa.

Those with partial human traits are called beastmen!

The distinction is still very clear.

But beasts' minds are also very simple.

Since Lin Yan's divine star has become one of their sources of power, once they learned that Meng Ying's nation was Lin Yan's nation, the Frost Wolves became the most eager to enter the Flame Empire.

Thus, a vast fleet of troop transports departed from the Flame Empire.

A few days later, when Meng Ying had preliminarily stabilized the Eight Eastern Provinces, this troop transport fleet finally arrived at the Zi Yun Empire.

Then, large numbers of beasts began boarding the ships.

Among them, the Frost Elephants were the hardest to transport—they couldn't be carried on troop transports; small flying ships were required, and each small flying ship could carry five to six Frost Elephants.

And among these beasts, the Frost Wolves were distributed across different flying ships.

This time spent in the sky was a bit too long, and the girl Jian couldn't accompany them the whole way; fearing the beasts might lose patience and grow agitated, the Frost Wolves were assigned to calm them.

After this beast transport fleet departed, only a few days remained before the month was up.

The flying fleet was overseen by the Saint Realm's Old Lady Hai, while Meng Ying brought the girl Jian back to the Flame Empire's capital through a spatial gate.

This was the girl Jian's first time entering a human nation, and she showed astonishment at everything.

The winged girl Mia specially set aside time to accompany the girl Jian as she toured the capital.

"Your Majesty, a large number of imperial envoys have arrived at the border, requesting entry—they say they've come to attend the Flame Empire's celebration!"

As Meng Ying and the fox girl Qing Ling returned to the capital, a female official came to report.

At this moment, the border of the Flame Empire was lined with densely packed flying ships.

These flying ships came from all corners of the Continent of Gods; from their banners, it was clear they belonged to different factions.

The number of flying ships was too great.

Looking out, the entire sky was filled with them.

The number likely exceeded a thousand vessels!

"I didn't expect so many would come to attend the Flame Empire's celebration—everyone seems to have come uninvited."

On one flying ship, a civil official in ceremonial robes chatted with someone on a neighboring ship.

"It's the will of the gods—we have no choice. We set out a month ago and flew for over twenty days to get here."

Said the man on the neighboring ship.

"Twenty days? You're really far away—we only flew for ten or so."

Said the official in ceremonial robes.

"To be honest, I still don't quite understand where this suddenly emerged Flame Empire came from."

Said the man beside him.

"You don't know? Haven't you heard about the recent attack by the Ten Empires on the Eternal Night Empire? The Eternal Night Empire has now been swallowed by the Flame Empire, and five of the Ten Empires' armies have been captured. According to our bishop, the Flame Empire's Gods in the Heavenly Realm hold incomparably exalted status—otherwise, look around you: why are so many nations coming uninvited?"

Said the official in ceremonial robes.

The man beside him looked around, and from afar, more flying ships continued to arrive without end.

These flying ships seemed to have timed their arrival perfectly—almost all arrived today.

Because today is three days before the celebration begins.

This timing is quite suitable.

"So many! Each ship belongs to a different nation—only a few nations have multiple ships. Including the kingdoms, the number of nations here must be several hundred, right? This is truly the spectacle of ten thousand nations paying homage!"

Said the man, his voice filled with awe!

Ten thousand nations paying homage!

And uninvited at that—such a thing had not occurred on the Continent of Gods in a very, very long time!
