Chapter 2945: Military Orders Arrive, Majestic Sect Mobilizes!

"I always said your combat power is unmatched. See, I was right, wasn’t I?"

Samantha Tate was thrilled to hear Carson Flores’s competition results, displaying an expression of satisfaction as if she had known it all along.

Everyone in the room looked at Carson with joyful surprise. Carson’s combat power had always far exceeded those at the same level, and now, having reached the stage of Great Land Prime Immortal, he finally erupted completely, reaching such a terrifying height.

Carson smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are the best! Luckily, I advanced before the Immortal Demon War, otherwise, if I had really gone to the battlefield, it would have been troublesome."

Lilianna Norman laughed, "Indeed, the battlefield is ever-changing, danger is everywhere. Even if you have Zane by your side, if you are too weak, it’s still dangerous. Now, with your strong combat ability, even if the opponent is a Peak Great Land True Immortal, they can’t kill you instantly. Your safety has increased significantly."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Noran’s views.

On the battlefield, if you meet an opponent of similar strength, strategies may be required, but if you meet a powerful opponent, a single strike from them may be an irresistible catastrophic wave.

It’s like an ancient battlefield. If you are a somewhat capable young officer, you might showcase your abilities in a frontal charge. But if you unfortunately encounter the enemy’s charging general, they might not even spare you a glance and find you blocking the way, and casually give you a slash.

For the charging general, this slash is effortless, but for you, it’s a disaster.

With Carson’s recent promotion, he is protected by the Ethereal Pagoda that can exert his full combat power. Plus his own abilities, as long as he doesn’t encounter a Quasi-Saint, Carson’s safety is ensured.

Niall Sinclair said worriedly, "I fear the days of quiet cultivation won’t last. A while ago, I went out and heard that cracks have appeared in the Immortal Demon Passage, and there have already been scattered Demon Race members probing through cracks..."

Carson’s expression changed slightly, "Has the passage already opened?"

Niall nodded, "According to past experience, it takes about a year from the emergence of the cracks to the complete opening of the passage. It starts with small scale skirmishes, then escalates to massive battles like a meat grinder, with both sides continuously pouring in forces until the passage closes again, marking the end of the war."

Every defense war is a meat grinder for both the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm. Every Immortal Demon War results in heavy losses on both sides, but the bloody battle hasn’t stopped; instead, it has intensified.

It’s a relentless struggle between the two realms.

As long as both races exist, this war will likely continue endlessly!

Carson has read the timeline of historical Immortal Demon Wars given by Norric Shepherd. While the opening intervals of the Immortal Demon Passage have grown shorter, the time from the opening to closing of the passage has remained unchanged.

Three years!

Each Immortal Demon War lasts exactly three years because defending tends to be more advantageous. Plus, the Immortal Realm isn’t interested in occupying the Demon Realm, so it has always taken a defensive stance.

Surviving three years means victory!

Carson nodded, "Since the crack has opened, the order to return to camp will probably come soon."

Samantha Tate’s eyes shined, "Once the war starts, what shall we do? Should we act with the Majestic Sect or stay in the Ethereal Pagoda, ready to fight?"

Having already thought about this, Carson responded without hesitation, "I took the appointment from the Hall Master, so I’m an officer of the War God Mansion and must act according to military orders. But you are not under the War God Temple. If you join as disciples of the Majestic Sect, you would be greatly restricted under military orders."

"You should live in the Ethereal Pagoda. If I need your help, I will summon you. Otherwise, just focus on your cultivation. This way, military orders won’t concern you and you can move freely."

The group didn’t resist Carson’s arrangements.

They all knew Carson was protecting them. After all, the defense of the Ethereal Pagoda is incredibly powerful, and there are two Quasi-Saints within, a Starry Sky Magical Beast that can crush a Peak Great Land True Immortal, and over a hundred Great Demons comparable to Great Land Prime Immortal. Their actual contribution might be limited.

They just wanted to fight alongside Carson, facing enemies together. The specifics of their contribution or whether they’d gain military merit weren’t their concerns.

Facing strong enemies together and returning safely was enough.

Lilianna Norman asked, "Do you have an idea of who will go?"

Carson laughed, "Lorne and Mr. Singleton will stay. Someone has to guard the home front. It’ll be just us few. You often complain that I face danger without taking you, so this time, our couple will face the enemy together."

Lilianna Norman chuckled, "Okay, I agree!"

Oraya Lorne frowned, "I still want to see if I can earn some merit on the battlefield. Why are you leaving me out?"

Carson laughed, "With the Majestic Sect departing, there might only be the weak and old left in the sect. If something happens, no one will be there to handle it. With you and Mr. Singleton staying behind, we won’t have to worry upfront. Our family needs someone here."

"If we gain military achievements at the front line, you will have your share, Aunt Lorne. You just stay home and wait for our good news."

Knowing Carson’s concern for her safety, Oraya accepted, understanding her limitations. As a newly entered Great Land Prime Immortal, she couldn’t compare to Carson and his exceptional peers, and would be the most endangered in their group if she went.

"Alright, military merit is a minor concern. If you all return unharmed, that’s the happiest outcome."

Carson sighed in relief, fearing Oraya would insist on going to the battlefield, a situation he might not be able to handle.

The decision was thus finalized.

Just as Carson and the others expected, a dozen days later, the Majestic Sect received military orders from the War God Temple.

The Majestic Sect’s thousand-member team was called to return to camp!

The Majestic Sect swiftly mobilized, having already prepared for the order’s arrival. In just half a day, their thousand-member team boarded three giant ships heading towards the War God Mansion.

At the bow, Carson, Jarett Roth, and others watched as the mountains of the Majestic Sect gradually faded from view, each wearing a heavy expression.

Of the thousand people deploying, how many would return alive when the battle concluded?

Five hundred?

Or perhaps two hundred?

Carson’s gaze swept across the group, calmly stating, "We will surely win, and we will return safely!"

Seeing Carson’s calm demeanor, the surge of courage dispersed the gloom in their hearts.

"We will surely win!"

"We will surely return safely!"
