"Alright, alright, what's all the noise about? Master Ye is right here, we'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future. Let's let him in first, okay?" Wang Xinghe glanced at Ye Chen's territory and shouted to the crowd.
He still held some prestige among the new lords, and many people quieted down, but they did not withdraw the projection, and they all looked at the Primordial Star with curiosity.
Of course, some people will give Wang Xinghe face, but that doesn't mean everyone will. There are always some geniuses and troublemakers blocking his way.
"Old Wang! We've been here for half a month already, when are we finally going to fight?" A tall, slender young man, instead of summoning a projection, flew out of the territory on a golden dragon and asked Wang Xinghe.
"That's right, Lao Wang, you should know that our time as new lords is very precious. Now that even our new king has arrived, you can't keep wasting our time. Give us a definite answer on when we're going out to fight!" This time, it was a girl who spoke. She didn't release any projections either, but her voice came from within the territory.
"Alright, alright, I told you, I'm also waiting for instructions from above. The current orders are all to stay put. I can't risk everyone's lives, can I?" Wang Xinghe said with a bitter expression. These were all highly sought-after individuals, and he couldn't afford to lose any of them!
"Stop giving us that bureaucratic talk. We're not here to waste time. If we'd known it would turn out like this, we would have done it ourselves instead of wasting half a month here. If you don't give us a straight answer soon, we're leaving on our own!" These people had clearly already made their decision and weren't giving Wang Xinghe any more time to stall.
"Stop fooling around! Do you know how dangerous interdimensional wars are? Even if your individual clans are strong, if you really face endless dark creatures, the only outcome will be annihilation. Here's what I'll do: I'll go and ask my superiors tonight, and I'll give you an answer first thing tomorrow morning!" Wang Xinghe's face darkened, and he shouted sternly.
The new lords present have only been developing for less than a year. How many followers could they possibly have? At most, tens of thousands. Those prodigy lords only have a few hundred or a thousand followers. Let alone them, even if Ye Chen and Fatty's million-strong army rushed out, it would be nothing more than a wave in the ocean. Do they really think that interdimensional wars are so easy to fight?
Let alone different planes, the number of intelligent beings on a single inhabited planet is in the tens of billions, not to mention the non-intelligent beings.
"Alright! We'll wait for your message and set off first thing tomorrow morning!" said the leading boy. He then cupped his hands towards the Primordial Star, rode his dragon back to his territory, and dispersed with the other lords.
"Boss Ye Chen, come over for a get-together sometime! Let's get to know each other and fight against the darkness together tomorrow!" The familiar female voice rang out again, but still no one was in sight, and then the territory disappeared as well.
"What? Is there no suitable location for the war?" After the crowd dispersed, Ye Chen asked, looking at the still-on projection of Wang Xinghe in the territory.
"Sigh! Don't even mention it. The battle situation in the Maya Plane isn't as good as we imagined. For the time being, let alone finding a star field suitable for you newcomers to train in, those high-level lords don't even have the mind to care about you newcomers right now!" Wang Xinghe sighed and shook his head.
Perhaps Ye Chen's strength gave him confidence, and he blurted out these things that he shouldn't have said to the new lords. If these new lords knew the current battle situation in the Maya Plane, they would probably all be clamoring to leave.
They came here to gain experience, not to die. If they were truly faced with overwhelming darkness, they would choose to run away immediately.
"Then why are they still sending people here? Shouldn't the new lords be transferred out in this situation?" the fat man asked curiously. Although neither of them had ever worked in a major power, they should have stopped something that would obviously cause a lot of casualties among the seed lords in time, right?
"Sigh... Don't even mention it!" Wang Xinghe sighed and shook his head, not wanting to delve into the issue.
Seeing the other person's expression, Ye Chen and the fat man exchanged glances, already having a general idea in their minds.
If nothing unexpected happens, the high-ranking lords here probably didn't report the battle situation in the Maya Plane back to the Blue Star Plane, which means the leadership here is unaware that the situation is no longer optimistic. Instead, they are using this place to train new recruits, just like before.
As for why the truth wasn't reported? That's easy to understand. They were afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of being criticized, afraid of someone trying to steal their benefits... The reasons for concealing the truth are nothing more than this. They wouldn't be willing to take such a gamble unless they could no longer control themselves.
"If we have two Tier 4 Lords with us, are there any places on the Maya Plane where we can fight?" Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked Wang Xinghe.
Although Wang Xinghe was just a new instructor, since he was leading a group of newcomers to survive in this plane, he must have a very good understanding of the surrounding area. Where could they fight? Where was off-limits? He knew this even better than most lords who were in the midst of battle.
"This? Two Tier 4 Lords? There are some places we could go, but it's still too dangerous!" Wang Xinghe thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said.
“Now that you’ve become a lord, where is there no danger? A lord isn’t someone who sits in the back enjoying a comfortable life; isn’t it always a lord’s responsibility to fight against the darkness?” Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
"Yeah! Don't be so dangerous, we're pretty strong. With your skinny arms and legs, you might not even be a match for us!" the fat man chimed in at the opportune moment.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xinghe assumed the two were just boasting, like newborn calves. If they were really that strong, why would they need to come here for trials? They could just go straight to the real battlefield.
However, Ye Chen was right. Being a lord is never a synonym for comfort; fighting against darkness is the lifelong duty of every lord.
“You’re right, I’ll go and sort things out and try to find a place with a lower risk factor!” Wang Xinghe said helplessly, then looked at Ye Chen and the other man. “This place is basically our base camp now. You can move around freely here, or you can go and talk to the other lords. I won’t stay with you for now. I need to quickly sort out which places we can go. I have to say, your arrival as a fourth-tier lord has really been a great help to me!”
"Lord Wang, you're too kind. Please go ahead, we'll just wander around a bit more!" Ye Chen said with a smile. Compared to a true fourth-tier lord, he, a newly promoted lord, was still far from being a match for one.
