A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 84: Cemetery (1/2)

Su Chen was very happy to have captured an Astral alive

He handed the Astral over, then left, leaving the interrogation to his subordinates

The interrogation went very smoothly

The Astrals were not exactly a resilient race They were sinister, vicious, and tricky, but they were not strong

They were lonely, cold-blooded creatures with long lifespans who possessed no significant affection for their fellow Astrals

Perhaps that was one of the reasons why the Astrals lived solitary lives - they only had themselves

Under these circumstances, the Astral very quickly capitulated

His name was Leica, which made him a mid-tier Astral

He was frodom There was virtually no societal structure to speak of Because every Astral preferred to wander around the gloo as a family structure or non-combatant civilians Each Astral was considered a unit of conated army, for they were all soldiers in the first place

Whenever a big battle broke out, the Astrals would teether locally The Astrals near Torather at one place, those in the Wanlai Caves at another, those in Terror City elsewhere, etc Mobilization orders were passed on through consciousness communications Because they could communicate telepathically, their moverouped together

Torainst Owl Country, as well as one of the targets that the Boundless Sect was set on taking down

After discovering that Leica was from Tormuncardo, the Boundless Sect’s disciples realized that their plan to attack under the cover of night had more than likely already been exposed - the Astrals possessed the ability to coathered in one place With the support of a corresponding Origin Formation, it was entirely possible for the Astrals to coht in front of the Boundless Sect without the it

In other words, the Astrals were interrogating the Boundless Sect even as the Boundless Sect was interrogating the Astrals

This was very typical for the Astrals

As a whole, the Astrals were the strongest Intelligent Race This was already an unspoken fact

After getting a grasp on the situation, Jun Moxie, as responsible for carrying out the interrogation, reported what he had learned to Su Chen and inquired whether they would continue to attack Torht, Su Chen said, “We will continue the assault Whether they have prepared for us or not, the only option we have is to stea, there is no need for us to hurry so much Let’s take breaks when appropriate so that we’ll be prepared to fight e get there”

“Understood!” Jun Moxie went and passed down the answer he had gotten

Following Su Chen’s comhly an hour, Tormuncardo appeared off in the distance

This city, created by the Astrals, had a very unique aesthetic

Unlike hue walls erected around circular patches of land covered in defensive Origin Foruarded, the Astrals’ cities were quite reflective of their fundamental principles There was no unified city Instead, tons of small Astral houses dotted the landscape If it weren’t for the fact that they had been ordered to do so, they would have chosen to live even further apart from one another

These houses were constructed out of Glooy that nourished the Astrals’ bodies If the space was too great, this effect would be diminished, so the Astrals’ houses were typically quite s necessities, and needed no food or water As such, they had very little production apart from these small houses

The barren, desolate land, the withered trees, the sinister energy floating everywhere, and the coffin-like houses iant cehost-like as a result

The only difference that they had froendary immortal races were that those immortal races relied on quantity, while the Astrals relied on quality

Before the Boundless Sect’s ary fluctuation had rippled throughout the cean to float out of the sathered in the sky above Tor their eerie silence

An Astral gloith strange light was the first to speak “The hu us They number in the tens of thousands, but the other details aren’t so clear”

It was i an Astral was just based on outward appearance The only way to distinguish they had condensed to a certain degree However, this could only be used to distinguish high-tier Astrals, not so much the mid- and low-tier ones Only Su Chen, with hissuch distinctions

This Astral, whose body was gloith this characteristic light, was indeed a high-tier Astral

His name was Tajita, the leader of Tormuncardo and a member of the Astrals’ society of elders

After Tajita spoke, the cemetery remained silent, but on the consciousness plane the Astrals immediately burst out into a clauments cohly of the in research subjects”

“I need a large group of slaves”

“Kill them all!”

Tajita was forced to quell the “uproar” and said, “This group of humans is not the same as the others Leica was captured by them, and he informed me that these humans have some kind of ability that allows them to resist consciousness enslavement If we try to use it on them, they will instead fall into a coine Aren’t they just courting death then?”

“Not necessarily If consciousness enslavement becomes no more than a consciousness attack, on’t be able to stir up chaos aer”

“If we can’t create chaos ast their ranks, it will be hard to face them head-on We can’t rely on consciousness enslavement to kill them, can we?”

“Consciousness enslave to work at all, I’d rather not use it”
