Chapter 1672
His impression of the Shenlongshang Alliance was also extremely poor.
"Why?"
Xia Na raised an eyebrow: "The Shenlongshang Alliance claims that Baozhai stole their Nirvana Phoenix…"
Su Yang laughed, quite unkindly.
So it turned out, the whole thing had started because of him.
In his view, neither Baozhai nor the Shenlongshang Alliance was anything good.
If they fought each other, Su Yang would be more than happy to see it.
It was just dogs biting dogs anyway, and had nothing to do with their Huaxia Federation.
"Wait a moment, where have you been lately?"
Su Yang quickly came to his senses—Xia Na's intelligence had arrived a little too fast!
"I went to take a look around Baozhai's headquarters!" Xia Na said with a smile, "Once I got the news, I hurried back."
"There was no need to take such a big risk."
"With the help of the Misfortune Divine Crow, there was almost no danger. I just operated in the countries around Baozhai's headquarters, gathering intelligence and hunting fierce beasts on the side—killing two birds with one stone!"
"Mm!"
The Misfortune Divine Crow's direct combat ability wasn't considered strong among divine beasts of the same rank.
But its survivability should have exceeded that of a God-Rank Mid-Grade divine beast.
Fate-type abilities didn't do much to him, but when applied to Xia Na herself, they were quite wondrous!
"What's your take on this conflict?"
Baozhai's headquarters was still quite far from the Huaxia Federation.
Much of the intelligence, the Huaxia Federation still hadn't been able to fully investigate.
The Beast-Tamer Great World was simply too vast; in a short time, it was unrealistic to spread an intelligence network all the way to Baozhai's side.
Even the Qingluan Nation's investigation of Baozhai was still rather shallow.
Faced with a behemoth like Baozhai, Qin Longyun had no particular thoughts.
Xia Na should be the one with first-hand intelligence.
"Baozhai's losses this time are somewhat heavy, but they should still be able to hold on!" Xia Na said in a low voice, "Baozhai's strength is indeed inferior to the Shenlongshang Alliance's, but the Shenlongshang Alliance doesn't only have Baozhai as an enemy."
"Baozhai still has quite a few allies; they've also allied with several powerful nations. For the Shenlongshang Alliance to swallow Baozhai whole is still not very likely."
Xia Na thought for a moment and said: "This should be a long-term war of attrition… In the end, neither side should gain much benefit. This time, the Shenlongshang Alliance has lost its head!"
That was a fact.
The Shenlongshang Alliance also didn't have the absolute strength to finish off Baozhai in one breath.
Baozhai did indeed have a headquarters, but even the Shenlongshang Alliance didn't dare launch a hard assault on Baozhai's headquarters.
If they took down Baozhai, the Shenlongshang Alliance's losses would be too great.
They couldn't bear it either.
This was a game between multiple forces.
Extremely complex, very hard to settle in one decisive stroke!
When such great powers fought, it was usually a matter of slowly wearing down the opposing force, and only at the very end deciding the victor in one battle!
It was just that what Su Yang had done recently was going too far!
Stole the Nirvana Phoenix, killed four of their God-Rank Beast Tamers, and even blew up their headquarters—anyone who ran into this would lose their head!
Hearing Xia Na's intelligence, Su Yang fell into thought.
Baozhai and the Shenlongshang Alliance biting each other like dogs—of course he was happy to see it.
But he was still pondering whether there was a way to benefit from this affair.
If he really had to choose between Baozhai and the Shenlongshang Alliance,
Su Yang would absolutely side with Baozhai.
First, there wasn't deep enmity between the two sides; he had already formed a great grudge with the Shenlongshang Alliance.
Second, in the Beast-Tamer Great World there were still non-human Beast Tamers like Blue-Skin Ghost and Elder Ling, but the vast majority within Baozhai were human Beast Tamers.
Whereas the Shenlongshang Alliance had rather more foreign-race Beast Tamers!
Su Yang naturally preferred to stand on Baozhai's side.
Third, the Huaxia Federation was right within Baozhai's sphere of influence…
"At this stage, who has the upper hand?"
"Of course the Shenlongshang Alliance!" Xia Na said, "Baozhai was caught off guard this time; their losses are still very heavy!"
"What do you think about joining Baozhai now?"
"Uh…" Xia Na looked at Su Yang in surprise, "General Su is thinking of joining?"
"Right now counts as a good opportunity, doesn't it?"
"It is indeed a good opportunity!"
On this point, Xia Na had to admit it.
Baozhai losing three God-Rank Beast Tamers in battle had definitely hurt them badly!
In their current struggle with the Shenlongshang Alliance, they were also at a disadvantage, and their combat power was exactly what they were short of.
If at this moment a God-Rank Beast Tamer came to them of their own accord, they would definitely consider it seriously and offer rather generous treatment.
Xia Na asked: "Does General Su plan to have Sovereign Jiazi join Baozhai?"
At this moment, Xia Na's first thought was of Sovereign Jiazi.
After all, Sovereign Jiazi was the one out in the open.
"No, I want to go in person!"
"Won't it be dangerous?" Xia Na said worriedly. "The Shenlongshang Alliance is looking for you right now!"
"So what if it's a little dangerous? The most important thing is whether the risk and the reward are proportional!" Su Yang said with a smile. "Right now both sides are in a great war, and the Shenlongshang Alliance has so many God-Rank Beast Tamers. If I can kill a few more, my strength will improve quickly. Once I reach God-Rank Mid-Grade, there won't be many Beast Tamers who can do anything to me!"
Su Yang said helplessly, "You're all God-Rank Beast Tamers now, just like me. You should all feel that improving your strength is very hard, right?"
"Not at all!" Xia Na shook her head and said. "I've always felt that my strength has improved way too fast, just like in a dream…"
"…"
Su Yang looked toward Liu Mengyun.
Liu Mengyun pressed her lips together and smiled. "Actually, I also feel that our strength has improved very quickly!"
"Fine!" Su Yang pouted. "Pretend I didn't say anything. But if there's a chance, I still want to join the Eight Treasures Hall."
"If I can successfully join the Eight Treasures Hall, the benefits really would be huge!"
Liu Mengyun thought for a moment, then still nodded seriously.
But she shifted her tone and said, "However, how are you going to guarantee your own safety?"
"The Shenlongshang Alliance might know some information about you. When you fight, they might recognize you… The Eight Treasures Hall will probably also quickly investigate and find out that you're connected to the Annihilation Phoenix. Will they suspect you, suspect that you're the mastermind behind the great war between both sides? Have you thought about what identity you'll use to join the Eight Treasures Hall?"
