Ultragene Warlord

on fodder and compensate for lack of quality with quantity.
That ’s the one chance that the draconian world has for survival on a battlefield with two massive foes. ”

The draconian sage was touched that Zhang Lie had thought so far ahead.

Zhang Hanxiang raised a hand.
”I want to participate, too! I want to be part of this mythical battle! ”

Zhang Lie scowled.
”Ridiculous! Do you understand just how dangerous it is for you? ”

”Of course! ”

”What would you know? Do you know what the death spirits are like—or how shameless our allies, the superior worlds, can be?  Do you know of the superior worlds that lord over this realm? ”

Zhang Hanxiang replied excitedly, ”No, I don ’t know any of that, but if it ’s a war that you ’re calling mythical, Brother, it has to be something truly impressive! ”

Zhang Lie had never thought much of any of the draconian world ’s invasion attempts, and the fact that he was calling this war mythical revealed just how imposing and impressive in scope it would be.

Zhang Hanxiang ’s analysis was correct.
The scope of this war would encompass the entirety of the third realm, the likes of which had never been seen and would likely never be seen again.

Zhang Lie sucked in a deep breath.
”If you ’re unaware of your enemies, how can you expect to fare well in battle? You ’d perish on the battlefield without realizing how you ’ve died.
Stay behind in the draconian world and wait for my return. ”

Zhang Hanxiang frowned and crossed her arms.
”Can ’t you bring me along with you, Brother? ”

”You know nothing of the enemy! It would be foolish to bring you with me. ”

Zhang Hanxiang protested, ”But Hong Xi has just ascended as well! She doesn ’t know anything about the enemy, either—why would you let her become the battlefield commander? ”

Zhang Lie clutched his head in exasperation.
”The enemy we ’re facing this time is no joke.
The death spirits are being led by the death spirit king, whose goal is to take over all three thousand worlds of the third realm and become the strongest existence within it. ”

Zhang Hanxiang frowned.

”That ’s only the start of his ambitions, too—he plans on using the third realm like a springboard from which to drain the first and second realms dry, before heading up into the fourth and fifth realms.
His ambition is bolstered by overwhelming strength, and I can ’t afford to take care of others while in the heat of battle. ”

Hong Xi trembled and wanted to shrink back.

She had just advanced, and she didn ’t have any third-realm gene fragments to her name.
For Zhang Lie to have set up such a foe for her—how was she meant to do it all?

Zhang Lie continued, ”Our enemy is a terrifying foe, and our allies are unreliable and shameless.
The only reason we ’re working together with them is because we can ’t let the death spirits succeed.
The superior worlds ’ goal is to drag all three thousand worlds into the battle with them, hoping that as many of them perish as possible so that they can profit from those worlds afterwards. ”

In other words, they were allies only in name.

The strongest enemy they had faced to date, and the worst allies to have—there could be no worse combination.

Sun Mengmeng suggested, ”Captain, considering the big picture, I believe it would be more appropriate for Hanxiang to be the battlefield commander. ”

Zhang Lie glared at Sun Mengmeng.

On the other hand, Zhang Hanxiang seemed very touched.
”Thank you, Mengmeng! ”

Sun Mengmeng smiled gently at Zhang Hanxiang.

Yang Ze thought for a moment, then added, ”I agree with Sun Mengmeng.
Hong Xi has just advanced, and even if we tell everyone that she ’s your disciple, it ’ll be hard for her to gain traction.
Her roots in the third realm are too shallow. ”

Zhang Lie pointed at his sister.
”Is Hanxiang any better? ”

Sun Mengmeng replied, ”At the very least, she arrived in the third realm before Hong Xi, and more people are aware of her.
Hong Xi ’s a perfectly fine candidate, but Hanxiang ’s been here longer, and they all know that she ’s your sister.
The draconians and humans, at least, will do their best to protect her. ”

Everyone understood that a commander was necessary for the battle.

The warlords and members of Team Zenith had taken down too many worlds, and the various races would frequently clash with each other unless they were appropriately controlled.
An apt commander was necessary.

However, these races only feared the warlords and members of Team Zenith, so the commander of these forces had to have some level of strength, as well as guards composed of humans and draconians alike.

Human guards were particularly important: human hunters had participated in the invasion of nearby worlds under the direction of the members of Team Zenith, and the races feared and respected human strength.

From this perspective, Zhang Hanxiang, who was known to the third realm and a familiar face to the human hunters, was a better choice than Hong Xi.
