The North has entered an era of great development, with a large number of resources being discovered almost every day.

Treasure is also being discovered daily and sent to Zhao Guang's hands.

Though most have little significance, a few are quite valuable.

Zhao Guang doesn't pay too much attention to these things and with a wave of his hand, most are taken out to reward those with merits. Or, if their own contribution value is sufficient, they can exchange for them.

After all, they are just luxury goods, and using them to recover their contribution values makes the most out of them.

These items have greatly enriched the contents of Zhao Guang's treasury.

During the great development period, Zhao Guang finally heard about the interception issue from the South.

On the surface, it seemed like the border officials' own decision, simply unable to tolerate it. But from their layout and the power invested, it was impossible for the border officials to have done this.

Although Balola publicly criticized the individual involved afterward, the position was changed.

Demotion in name but promotion in secret, along with some subsequent events, clearly indicating that even noble titles could be elevated.

After this interception, Zhao Guang heard that out of two thousand flying troops, the Klein Empire got hold of only about a thousand, fewer than those sold to Balola.

This was because they were prepared in advance; without such preparation, perhaps none would have remained.

Due to this event, the Klein Empire did not condemn the other side; in their view, no matter the means, as long as they could win, they were the strong ones. The strong can control everything.

But the Klein Empire didn't see itself as weak, so they launched a large-scale war.

The two empires once again began warfare at the border.

This time, the scale was even larger than the one Zhao Guang was involved in before, putting everything on the table except for the foundations.

It seems that this war cannot end this year until winter, and it might even continue into winter.

But Zhao Guang's concern was not about all this; instead, it was about the problem on the Beastman's side.

"Master, look, this is the report from the Beastman side." Sephidya walked in, Aleya following. After all, Aleya had always been responsible for communication with the Beastman.

"What's up, did something happen again on the Beastman side? Did they control those two birdmen to attack the other side?"

"Well, it's considered an attack, but this time it's different from before."

Sephidya handed the report to Zhao Guang: "The Beastman blocked news of their expedition army's failure, releasing the two harpies back before those who fled could return."

"Released them? That's impossible; would they be so kind?" Zhao Guang couldn't believe it.

Aleya shook her head: "They were not released back but were released after being controlled by a special secret skill. Ancient holy objects were sealed in their bodies, a one-time destructive treasure."

Aleya had some impression of these things, but no detailed knowledge.

If she had been the high priest on the Beastman side, she might have been able to contact these things.

After all, the Beastman is an extremely ancient race, and their statehood dates back even further than the two empires here. In such situations, no one knows what cards the Beastman hold.

It's like the dragon destruction technique they previously wielded; if the Beastman is truly at the end of their rope, they can release it freely.

After all, even if they offend the giant dragons, who knows what they can achieve before the dragons realize.

This time, the Beastman used something left from ancient times.

"An ancient treasure; the Beastman possesses such good things?"

"Of course, the Beastman wouldn't create such a thing. It should have been transmitted from the Borick Continent, but according to the description here, it was manufactured in ancient times. The creator is probably a demigod."

"That would be truly terrifying in power, but what happened in the end?" Zhao Guang was very curious.

"The result is, the harpies are probably going to suffer."

Zhao Guang looked at the report; after the Beastman controlled the two harpy strongmen to return, they directly announced the expedition's failure.

Then, using their methods, they summoned all the strong ones within the groups for a meeting; other groups' strongmen were invited but few attended. However, those who came were all at the legendary level.

During the meeting, the secret treasures within the two exploded, sweeping through the venue.

This was a one-time treasure made by a demigod; even if other demigods were caught up, they could be injured.

All the legendary level individuals there were wiped out on the spot.

Based on intelligence from the Beastman side, it's estimated that the Flying Beast Alliance lost over thirty legendary strongmen this time.

These are not cabbages; they are legendary strongmen.

"After this incident, the legendary strongmen of the harpies are almost extinct, other major groups are also severely harmed. Moreover, these groups are venting their anger on the harpies, and they will probably have a hard time."

"I fear it's not only simple venting." Zhao Guang considered more factors.

In the Flying Beast Alliance, the harpies have always been the dominant power; although their individual strength is not high, their numbers are overwhelming. This surge in numbers also led to them having the most legendary strongmen.

Other groups look down on them but cannot defeat them.

This time, the opponent's top strength was destroyed in one go; even if not completely, it's close.

"Other groups are probably going to reduce the number of harpies this time."

"That's right, I've heard that the Flying Beast Alliance plans to have a decisive battle with the Beastman, with the harpies as the vanguard."

Sure enough, with the number of harpies reduced, they will become the bottom of the six major groups. Even a slip out is possible if uncareful.

"Are the harpies just letting themselves be plotted against? Don't they have strongmen who went to the Borick Continent?"

"Supposedly none, but even if there are, not many. The harpies themselves have poor gifts, being able to become legendary is already good. Even if they become legendary, they are considered weak among the legendary, not very competitive on the Borick Continent."

Zhao Guang nodded, indeed, but is there not a single one with some ambition?

Forget about them; even if they suffered heavy losses this time, the Beastman cannot completely wipe them out.

What Zhao Guang did not expect was that the Beastman could use those slaves in such a way. In the future, he must be wary of the Beastman; with such cards up their sleeves, who knows if they have even stronger ones. It is necessary to be on guard.
