Chapter 115 The Crimson Dragon Prohibition
Red Dragon Star, the base of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.
In front of the waterfall.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" A man over two meters tall, wearing heavy purple patterned armor and a horned helmet, frowned as he looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
He had originally intended to visit a friend and happened to be passing by when he received news of the "Crimson Dragon World." So he rushed over excitedly, only to be stopped in his tracks by this woman.
If this were anywhere else, he would have already lost his temper if a mere domain lord dared to stop him. But this was the territory of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and he needed to remain restrained.
Even so, his eyes still held a sharp and imposing look.
"You're Almosen, aren't you? You want to go in? Unfortunately, you can't. This is now a test world recognized by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Only star-level adventurers participating in the test can enter. Apart from that, during the test, any unknown individuals are prohibited from entering." The speaker was a bewitching woman with long, jet-black hair, wearing pure black armor, and her voice was also hoarse and charming.
"Are you kidding me?" The purple-eyed man's eyes flashed with annoyance. "You should know what happened inside. I'm in a hurry—if you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"
"Alright, Mr. Armerson, I admit I was joking with you before." The alluring woman sighed, a strange glint in her eyes, and slowly said, "My orders are that, from now on, no one is allowed to enter the assessment world!"
"An order? Whose order?" The man with the horned helmet and purple eyes did not act impulsively, but instead frowned and asked.
"Of course, it's an order from the Flowing Cloud Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance." The woman's expression turned serious, then she chuckled. "I'm not stupid. I don't want to offend big shots like you for no reason just because of some rules. However, by order of the Flowing Cloud Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, from this moment on, no one, regardless of whether they are a Star-level or any other level, is allowed to enter."
The man in the horned helmet, Armerson, was inwardly shocked. An order from the Flowing Cloud Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance? That meant it was an order from the higher-ups of the Flowing Cloud Cosmic Kingdom.
"Why?" Armerson couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't a world ruled by a Realm Lord be enough to alarm the Flowing Cloud Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance?"
The alluring woman with black hair glanced at him and said meaningfully, "This is not an ordinary world of a realm master; it is the world of a realm master created by that great one."
"That sir?" A thought flashed through Armerson's mind like lightning. He instantly realized something, took a deep breath, and gave the woman blocking his path a long look. "And who are you?"
The alluring black-haired woman wore a radiant smile. "Vanasu, the special envoy of the Flowing Cloud Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, has been ordered to come here on a mission."
Armerson frowned and said, "You just said no one can go in. Does that mean even a Hengxing-level person can't go in to participate in the assessment?"
Seemingly sensing Armerson's thoughts, the alluring black-haired woman smiled and shook her head. "Of course—no, from now on, you can only leave, not enter." She looked at the silent Armerson and smiled, "Mr. Armerson,"
Do you still insist on going in?
Almosen snorted coldly. Although he was powerful, he was not so powerful as to disregard the rules of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.
He wasn't that stubborn to openly challenge the rules of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.
Moreover, there were also orders from "that person".
Almorson pondered for a moment, then stood there without leaving.
Simultaneously, a wisp of consciousness is separated and enters the virtual universe network. Maintaining wakefulness in reality, a wisp of consciousness is separated into the virtual universe.
For the realm lord, it's a very easy thing.
In the virtual universe, on the floating city of Jialan Island, a magnificent palace is filled with many powerful realm lords. Upon closer inspection, they are almost all realm lords from the 27 major families.
"Almosen, you just said that the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance sent people to stop you from going in?" The newly gathered world lords all showed surprised expressions.
"That's right, but things aren't that simple." Armerson was very calm at this moment. "According to the special envoy of the Flowing Cloud branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, 'Vanasu,' it should be the order from that Crimson Dragon Army Commander. If I remember correctly, besides holding the position of First Legion Commander in the Flowing Cloud Cosmic Legion, he also has good relations with many high-ranking members of the Flowing Cloud branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. It would be very simple and reasonable for the Flowing Cloud branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance to issue an order here."
"The Crimson Dragon Army Commander?" Upon hearing this name, everyone present changed their expressions.
As high-ranking officials of the Jialan Empire, they were very familiar with the important figures of the Liuyun Universe Kingdom, among whom the "Red Dragon Army Lord" who came from the Jialan Star Region was an absolutely untouchable figure.
An elderly, white-haired realm lord sighed, "If this Crimson Dragon Army Lord personally gave the order, coupled with the regulations of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, then we really have no way to deal with it."
Everyone present immediately abandoned the idea of barging in.
That's courting death.
"Now it seems that the events in the Crimson Dragon World were also part of a plan left behind by the Crimson Dragon Army Lord many years ago?" a female realm lord sighed. "Back when he was still a realm lord, he fought a powerful figure on Crimson Dragon Star and killed him."
Then he created the Crimson Dragon World and left it to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. What was his purpose in doing this?
No one present could guess it.
"Regardless, although we can't enter now, the people inside will definitely come out," Armerson said coldly. "There are only so many star-level beings left in the Realm Lord's World. It all depends on who has the luck and strength to seize the treasure."
The other realm lords exchanged glances, understanding Almosen's meaning. Since they couldn't send anyone in to intervene, and couldn't interfere with the interior of the Crimson Dragon World, then the star-level beings inside were the most crucial force.
"Almosen, do you mean we should unite?" a blond, blue-eyed world lord asked.
"That's right," Armerson said crisply. "Our families are weaker than the seven major organizations, but this isn't a competition of high-end combat power, but rather the battle at the Eternal Star level in the Realm Lord's World! In terms of the number of Eternal Star level members, all of us combined..."
It will absolutely surpass both sides.
Many realm lords nodded slightly, agreeing with his point of view.
"There's another thing to watch out for: those Star-level adventurers who don't belong to any faction. They're the key. We need to win them over as soon as possible and turn them into our forces!" Armerson said. "The largest number of them are still those Star-level adventurers without any background. Whoever wins them over will have an advantage in the later battles, but they are also the least threatening."
When Almosen said that they had no background, he was mainly referring to the fact that, apart from the three holy lands, seven organizations, and 27 families in the Jialan Empire, even the Blood Spring Society was considered "insignificant" and "without background" in their eyes.
Because they lack connections, they can manage to jump around a bit inside, but even if some low-level players manage to obtain treasures inside, they'll be at the mercy of the powerful forces blocking the entrance once they come out. They'd be practically helpless to escape.
No matter how the situation develops, the biggest beneficiaries will inevitably be the major powers of the Jialan Empire.
In reality, as time passed, the number of people at the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's base gradually increased. A few hours later, there were two more Domain Lords and seven Cosmic Level experts. They saw that even the founder of the Realm Lord position, one of the 27 great families, Almosen, was being kept outside, so naturally they didn't dare to go in either.
