"Shenzhou... Before you leave, I tell you, never underestimate anyone in the world, and never underestimate those who are weaker than yourself."
The South gained great fame for repelling the demons and saving the Dragon Kingdom in the past, which has led to complacency among the sects and military regions.
Back then, it was the Southern Military Region that acted unilaterally and used force to break through the Demon Clan's blockade and sound the horn of counterattack, but this was clearly a gamble!
For so long, over a hundred years, the South has failed to change its prevailing attitude of believing it can solve everything and taking a hard line even when breaking the rules.
What talk of staying true to oneself, roaming the world alone, and being the only one worthy of respect...
In reality, he is arrogant, stubborn, and incorrigible...
As for me, I used to be like that... until I encountered the infamous Wesart Brigade from Central Plains in the south...
"
Xiao Chenzhou was lost in memories. His master had to retire from the front line of the military region to Storm University to live out his days due to a lifelong disability, but his master was once one of the most shining stars in the military region.
Back then, he single-handedly led the border sects to achieve a casualty ratio that was no less than that of the regular army in the south.
Furthermore, they responded to the Southern Military Region's demon-slaying war, breaking through numerous areas held by the demons, capturing many demon camps, and recovering a considerable amount of lost territory.
If nothing had happened afterward, his mentor would have been at least a future deputy army commander.
But there are no "ifs".
His master once said that the reason why the South was able to achieve such results back then was not only because the South had strong military power, but also because the Demon Clan chose to fight on two fronts, one in the North and one in the South, which led to the Central Plains intervening. The main force of the Demon Clan on the Southern Front was transferred to the Northern Region before the replacement troops arrived.
They seized this opportunity in the south to completely destroy the demons' positions.
It can be said that the timing was very good, but at that time, Zhongzhou requested that the Southern Military Region join them in attacking the main force that was retreating from the south, but the Southern Military Region did not agree.
Is it a gamble that the Demon Clan's troop rotation failed to arrive in time, or is it a safer option to annihilate the main force of the Southern Demon Clan?
Fortunately, the imbalance in the southern battlefield led the Dragon Kingdom to turn the tide of the war. Otherwise, if the main force of the southern demons had been allowed to escape and enter the northern region, the situation would have been very different.
At that time, they were still part of the Weisha War Camp. They were chased from the Northern Region to foreign countries. They were pursued by the demons along the way and eventually came to the Northern Region through a wormhole. The demons also followed the wormhole to pursue them.
His master was leading his troops to rest and recuperate here, and they would soon set off again to attack northward.
The people of the Weisha Battle Camp had already warned them in advance that the demons' return troops had arrived here, and behind them were elite demon troops chasing from the Northern Region. This position could not be held any longer. If they wanted to hold it, they had to call for support from nearby military regions, and they would stay here to provide support.
"I don't need any help!"
The Southern Military Region is far stronger than you, from Central Plains and Northern Regions, can imagine. It guided the Dragon Kingdom to victory in the land of Nanzhang, and it remains so today!
Pride, complacency, confidence, and of course, ability!
That battle bent my master's spine so badly.
The elite demons from the Northern Region, in cooperation with the demon defense force, completely annihilated his master's team, which had achieved dozens of consecutive victories, in just three days.
They thought these demons were as easy to defeat as the demons in the south, which is why they suffered such a crushing defeat!
But at that very moment, the defeated Wesat battle battalion led the nearby Central Plains troops back to fight their way back.
He successfully rescued his master. Although most people died in the battle, he still managed to save many others afterward.
"I asked them, why were the troops from the Central Plains sent to rescue me? What about the troops from the South?"
"They say... the South firmly believes that our winning team can crush those demons, just like in the Southern Region..."
"Heh... Without the support of Zhongzhou, my situation wouldn't be as simple as just having my legs permanently disabled."
Xiao Chenzhou remained silent. His master had only half a body left back then, and was rescued from the jaws of the demons by the troops of Zhongzhou.
That battle shattered his spirits, but it also allowed him to see the abnormal atmosphere in the south. Although many insightful people have noticed this arrogance that seems to have come from nowhere, they are not the ones who hold the reins of the south.
They can only appeal, but cannot change anything.
At some point, he subconsciously developed this arrogant attitude.
But isn't arrogance also a form of conceit?
He had noticed the expressions on Chang Shan and Ni Jun's faces from the beginning, and he could tell they were dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything to explain.
If we don't let them take the lead in solving the trap, are we going to let you take the lead?
Do we have that capability? We can even outmaneuver you while we're eliminating traps.
"Don't be discouraged, now it's our turn to catch up with them."
"..."
"What? Everyone's making that face. Is it so hard to admit the other's strength?"
Before I came, I told you not to cause trouble. Last night's confrontation between the dormitory and the North Region had already pushed my patience to its limit.
Everyone has their own area of expertise. Just watch, those instructors won't let the students from Central Plains and Northern Regions off so easily.
They clearly didn't want our first training session to go well!
Our opponents are not the trainees who are training with us, but the instructors who create difficulties for us!
"Take a deep breath, guys, we need to speed things up. Can we get to Zone Zero before 7 a.m....? Maybe we'll have to step in!"
