Beast Taming Star Journey

"Integration? Easier said than done!" The Beastmaster's tone was dripping with sarcasm. He glanced at me sideways, as if I had offered some outlandish suggestion. "You think you can command the masses with just a few victories? Kid, you're still too green!"

I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in my heart. I knew that the Beastmaster of the Primordial Empire was always unruly, but what he said was not without reason.

The forces of justice are complex, with various factions deeply entrenched, making it a truly arduous task to integrate them.

“The Beastmaster is right,” a shrill voice interrupted. A middle-aged man in fine clothes walked over with a fake smile on his face. “Integration is not a child’s play. We’ve all been fighting our own battles for so many years. Why should we take your orders?”

I recognized him as the leader of another faction, known for his shrewd calculations. His words were echoed by those around him, and soon, voices of doubt and opposition rose one after another.

Su Yao walked to my side, took my hand, and gave me an encouraging look.

I gave her a grateful look, then turned to the crowd and said loudly, "I know that unity is not easy, but the dark forces are pressing us step by step. If we do not unite, we will be defeated one by one sooner or later! Do you want to see your homes destroyed and your relatives and friends slaughtered?"

My words carried weight and prompted some to reflect. But many more remained hesitant and unwilling to express their opinions easily.

"Easy for you to say!" the Beastmaster scoffed. "Who knows if you're just trying to use this opportunity to control the entire force of justice and become the sole ruler?"

His words once again aroused suspicion among the crowd, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Some hot-tempered beast tamers even began summoning their beasts, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Just then, an old and authoritative voice rang out: "Silence!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elder Shan walking slowly towards them. Although he was old, the pressure emanating from him was not to be underestimated.

"Internal strife? Is this how you fight against the forces of darkness?" Elder Shan's gaze swept over the crowd, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Have you forgotten who our common enemy is?"

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads, gradually easing the tense atmosphere.

I seized the opportunity to say, "Elder Shan is right. We must unite to fight against the forces of darkness! I am willing to accept everyone's supervision and work together to develop a battle plan. I will not have any selfish motives!"

Although my words were sincere, I wasn't sure if they could truly convince everyone. I looked at Elder Shan, hoping he could lend me a hand.

Elder Shan nodded slightly, then turned to the crowd and slowly said, "I believe in Nong Yu. Although he is young, he has shown extraordinary courage and wisdom. In the previous battles, he repeatedly turned the tide. Without him, we would probably have been completely defeated long ago."

Elder Shan paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "Now, we need a leader who can lead us to victory, and Nong Yu is the best candidate."

The elder's words were like a stabilizing force, finally making the wavering crowd decide their course of action.

Although the Beastmaster was still somewhat unconvinced, he knew that the overall situation was more important and ultimately chose to compromise.

Other faction leaders also expressed their willingness to follow my command and fight against the dark forces together.

A warm feeling welled up inside me. I knew that this was not only a sign of trust in me, but also a yearning for justice.

I took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "I will not let you down! From now on, we will form a united front to jointly resist the invasion of the dark forces!"

My words ignited the fighting spirit of the crowd, and in an instant, cheers and shouts resounded through the sky.

I felt a powerful force surging within me. This was not only my own strength, but also the condensation of the entire force of justice!

The integration process went much more smoothly than I had imagined. Perhaps it was because the previous victories gave everyone confidence, or perhaps it was because of Elder Sam's prestige. In any case, the integration of the forces of justice made great progress.

We formulated a detailed battle plan, rationally allocated the forces of all parties, and formed a powerful combat system.

Su Yao walked to my side and gently patted my back. "Yu, you are really amazing."

Her eyes were filled with adoration, which filled me with pride. I held her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and I knew that everything I had done was not just for myself, but also for her, for our shared future.

The distant roars of beasts grew clearer, and the earth trembled more violently. I knew that a massive counterattack from the forces of darkness was imminent.

A strong sense of unease welled up inside us. Although we had made preparations, we still had no idea just how powerful the forces of darkness truly were.

"Report! The army of the dark forces is pressing in, less than ten miles away!" A scout rushed in to report.

Ten miles! This means we have less than an hour to prepare! I immediately ordered all forces to take their positions according to the pre-arranged plan.

A tense atmosphere filled the air; everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with determination.

I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. I knew that the battle ahead would be incredibly brutal, but we had no choice but to fight to the death!

"Prepare for battle!" I raised my longsword high, my voice echoing in the air.

Suddenly, I sensed something strange, as if a powerful force was approaching... I looked up sharply at the distant sky... What was that?

“What…what is that…” My voice trembled slightly as I pointed to the strange phenomenon in the sky.
