Ella quickly reminded Hendrick as she feared the rest would notice his dumbfounded expression. "Hendrick, speak softly so that others won't hear us. What should we do now? I'm just as lost. I was afraid that Arthur and the others would bump into these people, so I purposely stalled for them. I asked you guys to join us for this... I even promised them that I wouldn't tell others that they've entered this area, but I'm out of options right now!"
After a moment of silence, Hendrick burst into assumptions, "Dear me, are you joking? Have you been duped by others? Why don’t you think about it? The people from that world shouldn't have a high fighting prowess, right? I'm sure that
nobody has broken through into the ultimate god-level, right? If that’s the case, how could they have rescued you, a person in the Second-grade ultimate god-level?”
"How's that possible? I saw that those people didn't have a high fighting prowess!" Ella started frowning. She thought about it and said, "Apart from that, they don't have tokens of other items that we're familiar with, so they must’ve come over from that side, no? This forest also contains martial art techniques and other items, so they might've broken through after they found the techniques! Then..."
"Break through? If the person needs to achieve the standard of rescuing you, he'd need to spend a long period even if he's a genius, don't you think? Have they stayed in the forest for a longer time, then? Even if they have broken through, wouldn't they only be in the First-stage ultimate godlevel? Is it possible for a person in the First-stage ultimate god-level to rescue you?" Hendrick continued to ask.
"That person can't be in the First-stage ultimate god-level. The monster beast is in the Second-stage ultimate god-level, which was why I couldn't defeat the beast. I estimate the person to be at least in the Second-stage ultimate god-level and might have the combat power of the Third-stage ultimate god-level. He seemed too relaxed!" recalled Ella.
"Brother, what should we do now? Our Nine Armies have always had the same standpoint as the Anti-Alliance Guard, and we comply with destiny. Even if we don't go over the abandoned world to fetch them here, we'd agree for them to train here if any of them arrive here by mistake. Now that they've entered this area, I'm afraid that Arthur and the others might not think that way. It's hard to fathom a person's mind, and the Nine Armies aren't very united!"
"Did many of their people come through?" Hendrick pointed out with a frown. "It won't be an issue if only a handful of them entered. After all, the entrance of several people wouldn't take up too much martial enhancement resources if a couple of people entered this area, and it'll be no problem if members of the Anti-Alliance Guard learned of their existence. If we take them in, we just need to have a symbolic conversation with the members of the AntiAlliance Guard, and the issue would be dropped afterward."
Ella smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. I remembered that several people barged into this area around six months ago, and some of them were recruited by the Pavilion of Anti-Alliance Guard after that alliance learned about them. They were brought back by these people to train."
However, Ella had a weird expression on her face as she continued, "However, it seems like there are several hundred thousand of them that entered this time."
"Several hundred thousand people?!" The corners of Hendrick's mouth twitched several times. It might not be an issue if only a couple of people, or a dozen, entered, but they would not be able to hide the news if several hundred thousand of them entered!
Hendrick's expression faltered and, patting his thigh, muttered, "Too many. That's a big problem already!"
