Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 134 Hunter Association
Looking at the many high-ranking officials of the Glory Expeditionary Corps in front of him, a trace of imperceptible fatigue flashed through Eric's eyes.

He is a graduate of the fourth class of the Expeditionary Academy and can be considered one of the earliest batch of glorious expeditionary warriors.

At that time, the Glory Expedition Plan had just begun and was still relatively small in scale, unable to form a standard legion.

At that time, after graduation, the students of the Expedition Academy were directly assigned to the basic legions of the corresponding Holy Angel Legion, fighting side by side with many Holy Angels.

Of course, when we say fighting side by side, we actually just help out. Under the guidance of the holy angels, we can learn more and improve ourselves faster.

Those years can be said to be one of the happiest memories of his life so far.

He realized his childhood dream and followed the Holy Angel Legion to fight abroad, to liberate the oppressed lower classes in many worlds.

There is no need to consider anything complicated, just follow the arrangements of the Legion and complete your tasks.

However, as the Glory Expedition plan continued, the number of Glory Expedition warriors increased, and its scale was large enough to form some complete legions.

The corresponding Glory Expeditionary Corps was naturally established.

After that, students graduating from the Expeditionary Academy will no longer be assigned to the Holy Angel Legion, but will directly join the Glory Expeditionary Legion.

Eric also made his mark in the process and gained the support of many Glory Expedition warriors.

When the Glory Expeditionary Corps was first established, he was one of its commanders.

Now, he has been promoted to army commander, with an entire army group under his command, and his military rank has reached the level of general.

The various systems within the Glory Expeditionary Corps are similar to those of the Holy Angel Corps, except that the number of people is much larger.

For example, the army group under his command has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which is more than half of the total number of the Holy Angel Legion.

These hundreds of thousands of warriors come from many different worlds.

To be precise, they come from more than ten different worlds, including Eric's hometown.

The army under Eric's command mainly recruits soldiers from those dozen or so worlds.

Naturally, those worlds also had a share in the contributions made by this army group in the process of foreign wars.

It is for this reason that many worlds have given their full support to the Glory Expeditionary Corps, which can provide them with sufficient rewards.

The kingdom did not deliberately disrupt these things, which is one of the reasons why so many different factions were formed within the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

Not only is the Glory Expeditionary Corps divided into many different factions, but these factions are also not united.

For example, within Eric’s faction, there are more than a dozen different hills, corresponding to the home worlds of all the warriors.

Even within these factions, there are different demands, and the top leaders are supported by their respective forces.

Although it is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, in Eric's opinion, this situation has reached a very unhealthy level.

If the Cradle of Life did not have enough power to suppress all the worlds, they would not dare to have any excessive thoughts.

In addition, all worlds have real gods that they believe in, which ensures that everyone always has a sense of righteousness in their hearts.

The situation within the Glory Expeditionary Corps has long been in chaos.

Now, I can only rely on my own strong strength and the attitude of never taking sides to gain the support of many worlds and barely maintain the balance within the faction.

But it has no additional influence among other factions.

In his opinion, even if a legendary figure was born within the Glory Expeditionary Corps and was able to suppress many factions, it might not necessarily completely change the existing situation.

Even a senior executive like me who never takes sides has long been labeled accordingly.

No one can guarantee that he will not favor his faction or his home world.

This kind of suspicion is difficult to avoid and can easily lead to some disunity within the entire Glory Expeditionary Corps.

Therefore, for Eric, he would rather see such an airborne commander-in-chief appear in the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

The commander-in-chief has no interest in any of the worlds, so naturally he won't have any extra concerns when dealing with various matters.

Although it is difficult to convince others due to his lack of experience, it is not a big problem.

He is a super-class divine weapon wielder who is comparable to a legendary transcendent. Even if all the high-ranking members of the Glory Expeditionary Corps were tied together, they would not be a match for the commander-in-chief alone.

He is powerful enough to overpower all the high-ranking officials of the Glory Expeditionary Corps, and he is also the commander-in-chief appointed by the high-ranking officials of the kingdom themselves.

Even some senior executives who have gradually lost their original intentions only dare to express their dissatisfaction secretly.

It is impossible to openly disobey any of her orders, or to pretend to obey but actually disobey. The Glory Expeditionary Corps is not corrupt to that extent.

Eric also felt that there was no problem with the commander-in-chief's first order after taking office.

Just as some high-ranking officials who supported the airborne commander-in-chief said, at most it would only delay the offensive for a few days, which would not be considered any additional loss at all.

The duration of a foreign war is at least measured in years, and it is normal to last as little as three to five years and as long as ten to eight years.

Just a few days will not have any impact on the situation in this plane.

As for those possible hidden dangers, Eric also plans to spend some time to solve them personally.

After hearing Eric’s personal statement, all the senior executives present agreed.

As one of the strongest forces in the entire Glory Expeditionary Corps and a veteran figure in the development of the Corps, Eric's own strength and prestige are completely sufficient.

At least within their faction, everyone is willing to obey his orders.

Without wasting any time, while others were preparing, Eric disappeared from the spot and teleported to the city in the sky.

In today's Kingdom of Dawn, the Sky City can be considered a conventional war megastructure.

Whenever there is a foreign war, there will always be at least one sky city accompanying to provide support for the army.

Soon, Eric used the teleportation function of the Sky City and arrived at a towering giant city.

The walls of this giant city are hundreds of meters high and tens of meters thick.

This is obviously not built to defend against normal creatures.

Although the destructive power of extraordinary people is exaggerated, wars between extraordinary people often only use various formations to assist.

Simply building such a massive structure would have little significance in a war between superhumans. The purpose of building such a massive wall was indeed not to fight against superhumans, but to defend against the invasion of giant beasts.

This plane is a relatively special one. Its ecology and various resources are very suitable for the reproduction and growth of behemoths.

The entire plane is filled with huge groups of giant beasts, and even various wild giant beasts that have achieved complete atavism are everywhere.

This greatly compressed the living space of intelligent races, and they had to fight against the behemoths and gain more living space for themselves.

A profession called 'Giant Beast Hunter' has also developed among intelligent races.

They hunt giant beasts and draw strength from their blood to improve themselves. It is also a very powerful warrior-type extraordinary profession.

The giant city beneath Eric's feet is one of the ten regional headquarters of the Hunter Association.

Since Eric did not hide his huge life aura at all, the moment he appeared above the city, he immediately caused a sensation.

Everyone thought that a giant beast had appeared above the city and was about to attack, so they immediately made corresponding preparations.

But they soon discovered that this was not an attack by a giant beast.

With the hunter's vision, he could clearly see Eric's figure high in the sky and knew that it was not a giant beast, but a human.

What shocked them was that Eric was able to stand quietly in the air without relying on the power of his bloodline. This seemed incredible to many hunters.

Before they could figure out the situation, a figure flew rapidly into the sky from the Hunter Association headquarters.

Everyone immediately recognized the other party's identity from the iconic pair of wings and exclaimed, "Is the president going to take action personally? This is truly rare."

In the blink of an eye, the president of the Hunter Association crossed a distance of several thousand meters and came not far from Eric.

"This guest from outside this world, please state your purpose."

Facing the old man who was staring at him seriously not far away, Eric just smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions.

This trip is simply to bring this city under our feet into the kingdom's rule."

Hearing this, the old man's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

First of all, he wants to bring the city built by countless hunters over a long period of time into his own rule. Do you call this without any malicious intent?
If the old man had not instinctively judged from his hundreds of years of combat experience that the young man in front of him was not easy to deal with, he would have wanted to take action directly.

Suppressing his anger, the old man spoke again: "The Hunter Association only wants to create more living space for all intelligent life, and has always been a neutral force in this world.

Private organizations that do not belong to any kingdom, including you foreign civilizations.

We will not join you, but we will not actively become your enemies either."

“What a great group of warriors, it is because of hunters like you that we exist.

They are always on the front line against the behemoths, thinking only of opening up more living space for intelligent life, rather than fighting for power and profit.

Only the intelligent life of this world can grow from a weak race surviving in the cracks to a powerful civilization capable of standing tall against the behemoths."

Eric nodded respectfully, expressing his affirmation to the old man and all the hunters.

Then he changed the subject and continued, "It's just that the current situation is very different from what you understand.

The power of our off-world civilizations is far beyond your imagination.

From the moment we arrived in this world, the fate of this world has actually only had one ending for you.

You have no ability to change, the only thing you can do is choose to accept it.

The so-called neutrality is based on sufficient strength.

Just like your Hunter Association has been able to remain neutral all the time, in addition to your lofty mission, what is more important is that your strength is stronger than other forces.

But for us, the civilizations outside this world, both the strength of the Hunter Association and the terrifying beasts that have always weighed on your hearts are actually not worth mentioning.

If it were just for killing, we could easily eliminate all life in this world, but that would be meaningless to us.

Domination is our goal, and killing is not even a means, but a last resort.

If possible, we hope to peacefully bring this world under our rule.

Try to reduce unnecessary casualties, do you understand what I mean?"

The old man nodded. He could see that the young man in front of him did not take the world he lived in seriously at all.

Not wanting to cause any unnecessary casualties means that sooner or later we will all be one family.

The old man didn't know where his confidence came from or whether it was true. He only knew that he could no longer suppress his anger.

“As you said, the premise of neutrality is sufficient strength.

Then let me show you whether we have the strength to do so, and let me see where your confidence comes from! "

As he spoke, the old man's aura continued to surge, and traces of several other different giant beast bloodlines began to appear on his body.

As hunters, they can draw power from the blood of giant beasts to enhance their own strength.

Similarly, they will also be affected by the bloodlines of those giant beasts.

In terms of appearance and even mentality, they will have some characteristics of the corresponding giant beasts.

The old man's bad temper is also affected by this aspect.

If I hadn't been recuperating in recent years, my mentality would have become much calmer.

He would have taken action long ago and would not even give Eric a chance to say a second word.

The wings behind him fluttered slightly, and the old man rushed in front of Eric in an instant, his fist carrying an unmatched power.

As one of the few five-star hunters in the Hunter Association, even without using his full strength, the old man could kill a wild beast with a single blow.

Faced with this fist that was powerful enough to shatter mountains, Eric didn't care at all. He just stretched out a finger to block the opponent's attack, and there was not even any aftermath of the collision.

"Go all out, I can handle it."
