Chapter 374: Insect Calamity, Monster Siege!
For this now-decrepit temptress, Kang Mazi felt a seething hatred that gnashed his teeth.
It was this foolish pig that had ruined the foundation of Blue Star, otherwise, a dynasty that owned a piece of Realm Territory in the Sea of Realms layer wouldn't be nibbled away bit by bit by foreign races, would it?
What made him want to initiate a massacre and cleanse was the knowledge that behind the Coalition of Nations, that bunch of despicable curs, loomed the shadows of foreign races!
Colluding with foreign races, gnawing away at the Human Race's territory - outright treacherous and disloyal behavior.
And this temptress had even fanned the flames behind the scenes!
If it weren't for the need of her army in hand to resist the foreign races, Kang Mazi would have definitely flayed her alive!
At the same time, when he thought of his own strength, being stuck at the peak of the sixth order and the national fortune also being greatly diminished, with no hope of breaking through to the seventh order, he felt a wave of despair.
Could it be that the heavens truly wished to destroy my Wild Boar Skin Dynasty?
After a few more words, not a single person could offer an effective solution, and the great hall once again fell into silence.
Almost spitting blood in frustration, Kang Mazi scolded and lectured this group of kings from the dynasty's history, before they all left in discontent.
The Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, the southern realm, the newly integrated large territory.
Here was a hidden cave amid the mountain wilderness, where at this moment, dozens of people gathered.
These people were divided into three factions, eyeing each other and continuously exchanging their respective information.

"The higher-ups want us to cooperate, what are your intentions?"
A burly man with a face full of scars and a fierce look, pointed to the sky with his forefinger and asked in a domineering voice.
"Do we have a choice? Compared to the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, which is already so decayed that it could collapse at any moment, would you rather cooperate with the Coalition of Nations?"
That was a woman wearing a qipao that perfectly outlined her figure, yet her face was covered by a black veiled mask, revealing only a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes.
"My territory has only been established for a few years; I'm completely a little underling and can't compare with you. Whatever you think is best, I'll follow along."
This was said by a young man with very soft facial features, but a pair of downturned triangular eyes made him look very sullen and malicious.
With only the strength of the peak of the Fifth Order, nobody present dared to underestimate him.
Someone who had entered the Sea of Realms only five years ago, not only had he seized the position of Lord, but after his territory was integrated into the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, he had still managed to fend off the dynastic encroachment. If he were someone without conviction, it's likely he would have been overthrown countless times already, and his territory would have changed hands long ago.
And the professionals sitting behind the three looked on expressionlessly, without a word, just watching their leaders gossip and boast.
It almost seemed like they were not here to discuss the future decisions for their territories but had specifically come together to gripe and boast.
"Little Wu brother, I hear that your territory produces heroic-quality rouge. Why not gift your sister a bit?"
"If Sister Zhao wants it, I'll have my people send over the best set when I get back. In the future, Sister Zhao's purchases will be guaranteed a 10% discount."
The sibling banter between these two left the fierce-looking burly man completely helpless.
Ouyang Pojun felt that forming an alliance with them was a mistake.
Although the three large territories offered mutual support and even formed a defensive pact, when the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty suppressed them, he was always the one facing the brunt of it, suffering the greatest losses.
But there was no choice; his territory had been developing for ninety years and had always been targeted and suppressed by the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, making its growth exceptionally slow.
If not for the help of these two, his territory might have already been overturned by the Wild Boar Skin years earlier.
Ouyang Pojun was essentially a figure from a hundred years ago; back then, the old sorceress, having absconded with her armies, had left behind a mess.
She had nearly caused the Great Xia Empire to fall apart entirely, and it was only with the support of the four Ancient Empires that a new imperial court had been established.
Ouyang Pojun was among the first batch of Lords to enter the Sea of Realms after the establishment of the new imperial court.
He was fortunate enough to seize the position of a great Lord, and his new territory was merged into the Sea of Realms layer of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.
Unfortunately, next to his territory lay the old sorceress's lands!
Yet, his luck held up; at that time, with the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty being invaded by foreign races, one side of the old sorceress's territory also suffered at the hands of the half-orc race.
Thus, she could not spare the attention to trouble him and invade his territory.
This war against the foreign invaders lasted for twenty long years, securing him enough time to develop.
After the foreign races temporarily retreated, the old sorceress's army of professionals had also suffered heavy losses, dwindling to less than four million in all.
In the twenty years of development, he too had raised an army of one million professionals, barely enough to ensure his own preservation.
Nonetheless, his territory was still slowly being eroded by the old sorceress.
It was after that Zhao Siyi and Wu Zhaoyi, these two great Lords, arrived. Their territories bordered his, but were not connected to the old sorceress's land.
Fortunately, these two had strong ambitions and also showed a deep-seated enmity toward the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.
Of course, their greatest hatred was reserved for the old sorceress, a peak Fifth Order powerhouse they would rather cannibalize if possible.
"I guess I am scared of you two. Since that's settled, have your troops ready when it's time to make a move."
Ouyang Pojun looked at his two unreliable allies and decisively finalized their cooperation plan, then gave a subordinate behind him a meaningful glance.
"Is it possible to kill the old sorceress?"
Zhao Siyi's beautiful eyes swirled as she casually asked.
"Killing her is too simple. Can we turn the old sorceress into a human pig?"
Light shone from Wu Zhaoyi's sullen eyes as he asked in a low voice.
"..."
Ouyang Pojun was speechless, looking at his two vicious partners and feeling a chill run down his spine.
