186 Chapter - No, You Came To Steal My House?

“Have you all remembered the tasks I gave you?”

Her gaze was fixed on the four employees other than Huang Yu.

The several people immediately nodded: “Understood, Miss.”

“Good,” Bai Cheng said, full of confidence, “Depart after the protection period ends. There’s no need to rush, give the guys around us time to leave their territories.”

Then, she looked at Wang Da.

“Although these beasts of various shapes are not as good as warhorses, they are enough to quicken your pace. And though there are only four hundred sets of armor, they can more or less boost your combat power.”

Then, Bai Cheng gestured with her eyes, and the armor that Yu Nian’s talent had replicated during the day was distributed. The beasts also came forward voluntarily at the summons of Scarlet Flame.

The hastily armed preparations were quickly completed, and Bai Cheng gave them her final order.

“From now on, all of you will be led by Huang Yu. Depart immediately and head to the neutral stronghold to set up an ambush!”

“Yes, Lord!”

Time flowed silently, and it soon reached midnight.

At this moment, two conspicuous prompts popped up on the screen.

“The protection period has ended!”

“Please enjoy the fun, everyone!”

“Fun, my foot!” Bai Cheng immediately retorted.

She had thought there would be no other content besides this prompt, but after closing the message, she found a module suddenly appeared, constantly flashing with golden light.

“Leaderboard?” Bai Cheng was a little puzzled. She curiously clicked on it, but the inside was blank.

“Never mind,” she turned and looked at her employees again, “You all prepare to depart too.”

But Zi Yuan was still a bit uneasy about this. She worried, “Miss, are you really not leaving anyone behind to protect you?”

Bai Cheng waved her hand directly, “No need.”

“Only Ye Liangchen and I completed this promotion mission. It’s absolutely impossible for other Survivors to reach War General-level. And even if they have War General-level employees, they would deploy them with the army as a precaution…”

At this point, Bai Cheng’s tone changed.

“How could those Elite-grade employees be a match for me now!”

That’s right, Bai Cheng had, after all, already reached War General-level. Although humans’ abilities at the same level compared to magical beasts seemed a bit stretched, she was by no means someone Elite-grade could defeat.

Moreover, this was only the case for ordinary people.

Bai Cheng now possessed 【Burial Spirit】 and 【Fate】, plus the flexibility of her own spatial abilities. Even if a War General-level employee really came, it was uncertain if they would be her match.

Seeing this, Zi Yuan said no more: “Then Miss, Zi Yuan will go.”

“Go.”

The employees quickly left the castle, and the large room was instantly left ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) with only Bai Cheng, Leng Ningxue, and Yu Nian.

Not having had dinner yet, they casually took out the food they had prepared earlier from their backpacks and began to eat.

Meanwhile, on the other side, almost at the exact moment the protection period ended, all the Survivors began to act.

These people had more or less figured out the surrounding situation and even the locations of the monster strongholds within a day. They naturally understood the importance of seizing the initiative.

Volcanic Region.

This was the area with the highest density of Lords. The Pioneers hadn’t even had time to attack the strongholds before encountering other Lords, and then war broke out.

The commotion of the two sides fighting was significant and quickly attracted other passing Lords, and the war further expanded.

Of course, compared to the brutality of the core area, the Lords located on the edge of the volcano had exceptionally clear objectives.

They wanted to attack and occupy other regions!

After all, besides this area, other regions also had monster strongholds, and if they successfully occupied an entire terrain, it would directly bring terrifying war bonuses to their army.

The two terrains adjacent to the volcano were the Snow Mountain and the Grassland, with the Forest and the Swamp being further away.

The former became the primary assault target for the Lords on the volcanic edge, while the latter could be described as a paradise away from the flames of war, a geomantically auspicious place for peaceful development!

For a time, the Lords, who were exceptionally densely gathered around the volcano, began to spread frantically towards the surrounding regions.

But no one was foolish; no one dared to risk entering the core area, because that was the battlefield of the Leaders.

Compared to the fighting on the periphery, the interior of the Rainforest was, at this time, exceptionally calm.

Of course, this was also a sign before the storm.

Because of their small numbers, none of the Leaders inside were actually located in the peripheral areas, making it impossible for them to enter other battlefields.

No one would gamble on an uncertain possibility; in comparison, taking down the nearest monster stronghold was the most important thing.

All the Leaders also began to act.

However, the system did not specify the exact benefits of occupying a stronghold, which led to a significant portion of people having the exact same idea as Bai Cheng.

They, too, wanted to backstab!

And among them, one team, without any specific instructions, luckily found the location of Bai Cheng’s castle.

This was a female Lord, or rather, a Leader, with a height of 155 and a weight of 160.

By the way, the former is height, and the latter unit is kilograms.

At this moment, she was tearing into an unknown roasted meat leg, sizzling with oil, with big bites.

Her face was covered in grease, but she herself was exceptionally excited.

“So flavorful!”

Her employee, upon discovering an anomaly, immediately reminded her.

“Lord Weidai, another Lord’s castle has been discovered ahead!”

Weidai became even more excited: “I was originally looking for a monster stronghold, but I unexpectedly found another Lord’s castle.”

She laughed, and her laugh was very unpleasant: “The opponent must have already sent out troops to search for monster strongholds, so it must be an empty city.”

And she once again felt that her decision to personally lead the expedition was brilliant.

Weidai was certain that other Leaders would not have her courage; they would surely guard the summoning crystal, as that was the key to victory.

But she was different; to avoid being outflanked, she decisively chose to take the initiative.

As for the reason, it was, of course, because she had immense confidence in the strength of her troop type.

Standing behind Weidai was a vast, dark mass of unknown troop types, emitting monstrous death qi and killing intent that felt substantial.

Even without having seen the armies of other Leaders, she was certain that ordinary people were by no means her match.

“Let’s scout first…”

But she was also afraid of alerting the enemy. After confirming that there was no sound from the nearby castle and its surroundings, she decisively made a decision.

“Never mind, let the zombie army charge and directly eliminate the opponent!”

In an instant, the eight hundred black-clad troops, who had been standing still behind her, immediately sprang into action.

Then they began to run, charging at full speed towards the castle in front of them!

At this moment, Bai Cheng, still inside the castle, was startled when she sensed the anomaly.

“No, they’re coming to backstab my home?”
