Chapter 1621

"I understand. Our Eight Treasures Studio has always maintained neutrality!" Chen Tianwu thought for a moment, then said, "But according to the rules, you won't slaughter civilians at will, understood?"

"Understood!"

"Mm!"

Actually, regarding the attack on Divine Wind Nation, Qingluan Nation could have chosen not to inform Eight Treasures Studio.

Because Eight Treasures Studio has always maintained neutrality and almost never interferes in disputes between two nations.

It is only occasionally invited to serve as a mediator.

In most cases, Eight Treasures Studio would even be more than happy to see the two nations go to war.

For Eight Treasures Studio, war means massive profits!

The Qin Qin Longyun Sect sending Chen Huan to inform Chen Tianwu was merely a courtesy call, a polite gesture.

After Qingluan Nation made its move against Divine Wind Nation, the other small nations that had been watching and waiting also followed suit one after another.

Among them, many nations had previously been vassals of Divine Wind Nation.

Divine Wind Nation was still their suzerain state.

But when the suzerain state was in trouble, they didn't mind taking a share of the spoils.

Their thinking was simple and plain.

If Qingluan Nation could touch it, why couldn't they?

Moreover, as subordinate small nations of Divine Wind Nation, they had a more legitimate claim to succession than Qingluan Nation!

After all, the royal families of these small nations, more or less, all shared blood ties with the Divine Wind Nation's imperial family.

Before long, Su Yang also received the news.

But he didn't care.

The more chaotic things were between Qingluan Nation and Divine Wind Nation, the better — it would draw more attention from others.

A little over a month passed quickly.

Liu Mengyun's Phantom Nether Cat, Su Yang's Three-Headed Demon Shark, and Sovereign Jiazi's Human-Faced Spider had all not leveled up.

However, these three Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade beasts were actually not far from becoming Divine Beasts.

The day before the Ark Plan launched, Su Yang brought the three women back to Jingcheng.

Such a vast Jingcheng was now empty and desolate, like a ghost city.

Apart from a few patrols of officers, not a single person could be seen.

In the General Headquarters, countless officers bustled about like worker ants moving house.

They were moving countless documents and equipment into the shelters.

Su Yang saw Marshal Xu: "Can the plan launch on time tomorrow?"

"It can!" Marshal Xu nodded affirmatively. "The Generals of the eight major army corps have come in person to report. They are all prepared. Civilians and Beast Tamers have been arranged into the shelters. The civilians and Beast Tamers in most cities have already been in the shelters for five days and are all ready for long-term residence."

"That's good. I'll end this process as quickly as possible."

Su Yang knew time was of the essence.

The longer it dragged on, the higher the casualty rate among Federation civilians.

Don't assume that just because they're living in the shelters, they'll be perfectly safe.

The shelters are cramped and sealed, the atmosphere oppressive — many elderly or frail people would be the first to give out.

On top of that, the tearing and impact of the ground at that time!

Even though the military had prepared shock absorption measures, it was still possible to lose quite a few people.

A death rate below one percent, below a hundred thousand deaths — was actually very hard to achieve.
