    Moving towards Noscent’s territory from Dirty Blood, Lin Yun soon saw the center of the battlefield, where the mes had mostly dispersed. They were only 10% percent as wide as before. There were also ces where they hadpletely died out. Noscent’s troops were fighting undead creatures in those ces.


    But the battles could only be called skirmishespared to the collisions earlier. A lot of undead creatures charged from where the mes fell apart, only to be blocked. Even more undead creatures were set aze, and burnt into ashes when they were too close to the mes.


    In a ce where the mes were abundant, Lin Yun turned into a human being again, and performed Fire Elemental Embodiment. He then ran to human beings’ side through the mes.


    This channel, which was thousands of kilometers wide, was known by undead creatures as Dirty Blood, and by human beings as the Mesomiya in. The two spaces had almostpletely ovepped.


    Hardly had Lin Yun crossed the mes when he detected gentle holy light spraying from the sky. The holy light couldn’t hurt human beings at all, but it was more terrifying than the mes for undead creatures. None of them could sneak through the holy light.


    Many of the undead creatures were stealthy, but they certainly couldn’t sneak around here.


    Lin Yun raised his head, and saw crystal balls floating in the sky like tiny suns. There was a crystal ball that emitted gentle holy light every several dozen kilometers. Those crystals blocked the way like a barrier.


    On this side of the mes, dozens of kilometers away, many war fortresses had been set up pertaining to the demands of the Hexagonal Array. They were not just castles to resist undead creatures, but also critical parts to construct the Hexagonal Array.


    Not far away, there were other fortresses that were being built quickly. A lot of magic and alchemy puppets had joined the construction, elerating the speed of construction to an unbelievable level. It would only take one week to build a fortress, and only three days to build the main part of the fortress.


    Lin Yun was flying in the sky. He had just flown 10 kilometers when the holy light from the sky became exuberant. He had a feeling of danger, as if someone had locked onto him. He nced into the distance, only to discover that a dozen crystal cannons had locked onto him, and were already charged.


    In the sky, a team of griffin riders was flying towards him. Three of them were Heaven Rank Sword Saints, and seven were Heaven Rank mages. Also, they didn’t look like schrs at all. All of them carried an aggressive aura, as if they were seasoned warriors. As they flew close, they were already surrounding their target…


    Lin Yun floated in the sky, and observed the team. Some of the mages looked familiar. They were from the Starry Sky College. They had been schrs who were devoted to the pursuit of the truth of magic, but they turned into battle-tested warriors.


    War was indeed a ce where men grew strong.


    When the patrols came, they recognized Lin Yun immediately. However, the captain of the team cautiously took out a piece of metal paper, and aimed it at Lin Yun. Patterns and a te-shaped mark surfaced on the paper. Then, Lin Yun’s picture and aura popped up too. Finally, he confirmed that it was Lin Yun who just came.


    “Sir Merlin, you’ve been troubled. Wee back. Agalon wants you to meet him immediately when you’re back.”


    The patrols bowed at Lin Yun respectfully, and then gradually flew away. All the Sword Saints and mages in the team looked at Lin Yun with respect.


    Lin Yun had entered the ne of the Undead on his own, disrupted the undead creatures’ scheme, and rescued the five trapped Saint Alchemists. The news had already spread out. Those Saint Alchemists were the most important people at this moment. To block and seal the channel, their power was indispensable.


    Also, Agalon and Alonzo were the strongest people here. When both of them were gone, half of top allied experts would be missing. Besides, the deans of the Starry Sky College were also very strong. Their enlightenment was needed for the construction of the fortresses.


    There were strict requirements as to where and how the fortresses should be built. Nobody except the six Saint Alchemists could ensure that there were no mistakes.


    Lin Yun flew all the way back. The patrol teams he encountered all paid their respects to him from a distance, and didn’t resume their duty until Lin Yun flew away.


    Looking down at the earth from the sky, Lin Yun saw a lot of fortresses scattered across an area of thousands of square kilometers. He noticed that those fortresses were in the shape of a half hexagon. Those fortresses were all the key points on the Hexagonal Array.


    Most fortresses only had the main part built. They hadn’t been designed for the war, and could not serve any purpose except being the key points of the Hexagonal Array.


    One of the patrol teams led Lin Yun to a fortress. It was not exactly in the frontmost area, but it was definitely on the front line. There was nothing in the fortress except some rooms for rest, a shabby tavern, and some alchemybs.


    Those shabby alchemybs were actually factories to manufacture potions and repair weapons. They were all purposed for the war.


    Lin Yun entered the biggest and most perfect alchemyb. He heard Agalon and Alonzo’s argument the moment he came in.


    “Agalon, do you have to challenge me? The Hexagonal Array must include this channel. What’s wrong with opening the rear half first? It will guarantee our safety anyway…”


    “Alonzo, is there something wrong with your head? If you activate half of the Hexagonal Array first, the location of the other half will be fixed, and cannot be adjusted afterwards. Do you think we can build the fortresses easily on the other side?”


    “After we eliminate those goddamn undead creatures, we can build the fortresses wherever we want…”


    “Idiot, the prerequisite for the activation of the Hexagonal Array is that this ce is able to endure the power ofpletews. Nobody knows what will happen when the level-49 undead creaturese to the channel…”


    Hearing their argument, Lin Yun smartly stayed out of the room, and simply let the two men keep quarreling. They were both thousands of years old, and they could fight about anything…


    Considering their strength and wisdom, they could find perfect excuses to defend themselves even if they were wrong, not to mention when it was hard to tell if they were wrong.


    Lin Yun waited outside. After Agalon and Alonzo argued for a moment, they suddenly stopped.


    Lin Yun’s expression changed, and he wanted to run off. However, a handnded on his shoulder.


    “Merlin, you’re finally back. Come on and tell your stupid teacher what’s going on outside, and what will happen if we postpone the activation of the Hexagonal Array until all fortresses are built. The Hexagonal Array can’t be activated like that at all.”


    Lin Yun felt bitter when he was dragged into the alchemyb.


    Those two old farts…


    Alonzo had turned into a conservative, and Agalon was actually a radical…


    They truly would do anything just to beat their opponent. Alonzo, who had never been fond of rules and traditions, proposed to do the job slowly and surely. Agalon, who had never been radical, wanted to take the risk of not activating the Hexagonal Array until the channel was fully upied.


    Lin Yun felt a strong headache, but Alonzo had pulled him into their argument without giving him a chance to escape.


    “Merlin, what do you think we should do? The situation is reallyplicated right now. Don’t you think we should activate half of the Hexagonal Array to secure our territory before we attack the rest of thend? That’s the only way to ensure our victory. Even if the war doesn’t go well, we will still be able to stop the undead creatures from crossing the channel…”


    “Merlin, you’re already a Saint Alchemist too, and you’re best at alchemy arrays. To ensure the effect of such a massive Hexagonal Array, don’t you think we should activate it after it’s fully set up? If we activate the rear half of the Hexagonal Array right now, we won’t be able to make any adjustments in the future, right?”


    The two men, both thousands of years old, each dragged one of Lin Yun’s arms, forcing him to pick a side. What should he say? Whomever he sided with, the other person wouldn’t be happy. Those two people were usually open to suggestions, but when they becamepetitive, it would be impossible to let them step back.


    “Sir, Junior Uncle, can you let go of me first? I’m going to be torn apart by you…”


    Agalon and Alonzo, too, realized that something was wrong. They quickly loosened their hands with an awkward expression. They exerted some of their power while they were arguing. If Lin Yun had been weaker, he probably would’ve been torn into two parts.


    Even though they had let go of Lin Yun, they were still gazing at him, waiting for him to pick a side. Lin Yun knew it would be impossible for him to get away with this.


    “Sir, you think that we must ensure the power of the Hexagonal Array so that it will achieve the purpose that it’s been designed for, right?”


    Agalon nodded, and nced at Alonzo proudly.
