A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 92: Astral Meeting (1/2)

There wereas an Astral reached the level of a high-tier Astral, they were autoranted the title of elder

However, these elders were merely common elders

The only ones that could actually participate in this warwere the “in-office” elders

Ulric was one such in-office elders Once the other Astrals had left, Ulric and the other in-office elders entered the discussion hall

The discussion hall was large and circular, and the floor of the hall was covered in round chairs

Ulric sat down in the chair that belonged to him At the front of the hall, Menelaus the Wise had already taken a seat

After all of the in-office elders were seated, Menelaus said, “Now that everyone is here, we can begin the ive some more details about our invaders This time, it’s not Owl Country It’s the Boundless Sect”

The Boundless Sect?

The elders began to discuss anist each other when they heard this name

This name had already come up a number of times in the past

It had beenthe Abyss

“They’re here for the Immortal’s Soul,” one of the Astral elders iht Now that he’s finished one part of that filthy bargain hehis claws into Astral territory”

“But this time he didn’t try to strike a deal with us Instead, he just chose to attack

“That’s because they have no reason to cooperate with us this time”

“Or maybe it’s because they don’t feel like there is any more need to cooperate with us After all, they were even able to conquer the Abyss”

“Don’t be such an idiot They were able to conquer the Abyss not because they were stronger than the Sovereigns there, but rather because they had developed a special medicine that diminished the effects of the Deep Sea Sorrow”

“And who can say whether or not they have developed a new ainst us? Based on the news that I have received, it seems that…… they have already reached this point”

“No matter what kind of external aid they have, they will not be able to breach our defenses!”

“They’re already starting to break through We’ve already lost the Ringed Corridor Plains”

The discussion hall was chaotic and unruly

“I think that we should ihtmare Forest and stop theenders were a subsidiary race to the Astrals

They had three genders, including e race Their members covered their bodies from head to toe in tattoos, and they liked to copulate publicly They would even often host public “ceremonies” at dusk, and their proent Races

The Kobalos were a short-statured race with notLike a bully, they were both tyrannical and cowardly When they held the advantage, they would all pile on an opponent, but when they were at a disadvantage, they would immediately scatter Their reputation was just as horrendous as the reputation of the Trigenders

Neither the Trigenders nor the Kobalos ell-regarded, but the Astrals didn’t care

The Astrals had lost the ability to reproduce altogether, so whatever the Trigenders did publicly was of no concern to them And as for the Kobalos, their cowardice was indeed sufficient to render most people speechless However, the rate at which they reproduced helped boost the Astrals’ numbers quite substantially They were the perfect cannon fodder

As such, hordes of Kobalos would often be thrown onto the battlefield at critical junctures, followed by the elites of the Trigenders before the Astrals even made an appearance

The status of the three different races was inversely correlated with their population The fewer they were in nuher their status was

A few Astral elders rallied around this suggestion

Of course, there were also quite a feho opposed this idea

“There’s no need to waste the lives of those subordinate races We should instead group them with our ed Canyon That’s the best place to make a stand”

“Do you think that those hued Canyon? What a joke”

“I think that if we continue to ht even be possible for theain devolved to uments

Menelaus raised his hand, i all of the other Astrals

He spoke “Ulric, you have exchanged bloith the Boundless Sect before, and you have delayed their ree of familiarity with their tactics Why don’t you tell us a little about their reets you all Six years ago, when the Boundless Sect first arrived at the Abyss, I just so happened to be searching for a special ingredient there and ran into the with the Oceanids to deal with the Deep Sea Sorrow, I immediately realized that Sky City was most likely involved and that us Astrals were likely to be their next target As such, I decided to try and stir up some problems for them…… I took control of a few of their subordinates……”

Ulric began to explain what he had done on Forever Clear Island
