"Then there'd be even more of them targeting us. There'll be even more of our men dying at the one hundred and eighty meters area. Unless Hestia Continent's warriors stop climbing the Red Sun Monument, this will keep happening."
Quite a few of them fell silent when that was said. There was a trace of sadness in their eyes. All of the warriors gathered there stood at the peak of Hestia Continent. They had power and were incredibly talented. Yet, they could do nothing about their situation.
They had been suppressed immensely during this period, but there was nothing they could do. It was because they knew very well that there would be severe consequences if they pushed back too far. There were already fewer warriors from Hestia Continent, to begin with, and even fewer of them entered the inner city. Hence, they were forced to just bear with it.
A warrior from the Compass Pavilion shook his head and said, "Even if we wanted revenge, there's still the question of who would get it. Both Wilde and Lester are from the White Phoenix Clan. The White Phoenix Clan is a holy grade clan. They're not people I can touch. I've heard that the two of them are chosen disciples. None of us would be able to beat them!"
Those words caused the warriors from Hestia Continent to be even more miserable. The reality was too cruel. Even if they wanted to revenge, they could not get it.
It was possible that Darien would be able to face one of them, but Darien was the only one at that level among the warriors gathered there. Other than Darien, who would deal with the other one? There was suddenly a heavy silence. Everyone looked incredibly defeated.
Fane raised an eyebrow as he listened to their conversation. He completely understood what had happened. Climbing the Red Sun Monument was not just a contest against the Red Sun Storm. At one hundred and eighty meters and three hundred and sixty meters, they would need to participate in fights. Of course, both sides would have to agree.
Only after beating a warrior would you be allowed to continue climbing. At the one hundred and eighty meters point were two warriors from Golden Continent, Wilde, and Lester. They had deliberately hidden their identities, acting like they were weak. They had gone to the two warriors from Scarlet Pavilion and challenged them.
The two warriors had been fooled by their disguise, and they ended up fighting. By the time they realized they had been fooled, they had been completely beaten and killed. They had been tortured as well.
Wilde and Lester were clearly very strong. They could have defeated their opponents quickly, but they had deliberately dragged it on, injuring their opponents everywhere before they killed them.
At the time, everyone had seen everything clearly. It did not involve the other third-grade worlds, so they merely shook their heads in silence and uttered a few words. The Golden Continent had been incredibly excited.
They had even mocked the warriors from Hestia Continent. The warriors from Hestia Continent were furious. They wanted Wilde and Lester to stop the torture, but the two of them ignored it. They slowly tortured the two warriors from the Scarlet Pavilion in front of everyone.
The warriors from Hestia Continent were so angry because they had witnessed all of that. After Fane sighed, he shook his head silently. The warrior from the Compass Pavilion had been right. Even if they wanted to revenge, they had no one who was able to do it. They would just be sending in more people to die.
After all, Hestia Continent was too weak. They were forced to lower their heads at times.
An inner disciple from the Scarlet Pavilion said miserably, "Hestia Continent wouldn't be in this state if not for that unknown barrier. At the very least, we'd be as strong as White Marsh Continent!"
