190 Chapter - The Storm

The moment the protection period ended, most of the leaders in the core Rainforest set their sights on the neutral monster strongholds.

After all, if they couldn't defeat a stronghold, they could retreat. However, if they rashly attacked other leaders without understanding their strength, it would be a fight to the death.

Therefore, the vast majority of Survivors chose this extremely prudent method.

The monster neutral stronghold was actually completely different in layout from the lords' castles.

All the surrounding trees had been cut down, leaving a large open space, and the central area was a solid fortress built from stacked rocks.

Monsters were stationed within it, currently locked in battle with the armies of the various leaders.

In a more distant area, Huang Yu led his army, hidden, constantly monitoring the situation near the fortress.

There were a total of five factions vying for the neutral monster stronghold. Three of them were already out of the game due to the deaths of their lords, leaving only two forces still fighting on the field.

"Wang Da, are you sure the monster leader of the stronghold has War General-level strength?" Huang Yu confirmed with him again.

"Reporting, my Lord, based on the scale of this stronghold, its leader's strength must be formidable, and he is cunning; he is waiting for an opportunity," Wang Da's tone was very certain.

Huang Yu didn't speak, just frowned and stared intently.

The monster guards outside the stronghold had almost all been killed by the two factions. The fortress inside had stopped sending out troops, leading both sides to mistakenly believe there was no more danger.

So they began to fight amongst themselves to determine the ownership of this stronghold.

Both sides had War General-level employees. The monster leader was waiting for both sides to suffer heavy losses, at which point he would strike to finish them off.

And Huang Yu, too, was waiting for them to be mutually wounded.

Although human soldiers were inherently weak, they were not without advantages.

After observing the troop types of various lords, Huang Yu concluded that only human soldiers seemed to provide them with intelligence.

As for other leaders and their troops, they knew very little about strongholds and rules, relying entirely on their own exploration.

This battle quickly drew to a close, and Huang Yu immediately turned and gave orders.

"Everyone prepare! Once that leader appears, we'll charge straight in!"

Wang Da immediately nodded in agreement, but he was still puzzled internally: could they, with only eight hundred men, handle the enemy?

This employee of the Lord seemed to be the weakest of all employees... It should be known that the monster stronghold had only stopped sending out troops, but a large number of troops must still be hidden inside.

Boom—!

A violent explosion suddenly erupted near the fortress; the monster War General had made his move!

He launched an explosion from underground. The two leaders' employees, who were still fighting, were caught off guard and severely wounded, as they were already exhausted.

Large numbers of monster troops began to pour out. They were burly, green creatures resembling Goblins, numbering over a thousand, and quickly surrounded all the armies of both factions.

A massacre began.

In reality, the stronghold's forces were three times that of a normal lord, and they had only lost eight hundred previously, leading everyone to mistakenly believe that the stronghold's forces were already depleted.

But even at the end of the battle, Huang Yu still didn't order an attack.

If they had intervened earlier, they could have formed an alliance with the remnants of the other two lords' armies to temporarily resist the monster stronghold together.

But now... they could only rely on their eight hundred ordinary people to face it alone.

Eight hundred people against sixteen hundred monsters.

Chances of winning? It was simply a massacre!

Wang Da was truly perplexed and asked, "My Lord, are we waiting for something?"

Huang Yu, however, smiled faintly: "Clever!"

Wang Da: "???"

Just as he was about to ask further, suddenly, including him and the army behind him, their aura surged, and their strength increased from ordinary Tier 1 to ordinary Tier 4.

He looked astonished, as if he had already understood.

But this sudden commotion also completely attracted the monster army not far away.

"Rats hiding in the dark?" The War General turned his head, emitting an eerie green light, and laughed disgustingly, "Kill them!"

The next second, sixteen hundred monster troops immediately charged towards the hiding place of the human army led by Huang Yu.

Wang Da immediately grew anxious: "My Lord, how should we respond? Even if they are ordinary Tier 4..."

But before he could finish speaking, everyone's aura climbed again. This time it was even more outrageous; everyone directly reached Elite-grade Tier 7!

They were stunned.

"This..."

With this strength, let alone sixteen hundred attacking monsters, even three thousand two hundred would not be their opponents!

Those monsters were only around ordinary Tier 5 or 6, while everyone present had already reached Elite-grade!

Moreover, as a commander, Wang Da's own strength was higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and this time he even broke through to War General!

"The timing is just right." Huang Yu still maintained his calm and composed demeanor.

Then, he too released his War General-level aura.

A transparent halo swept across, and a suit of elemental armor began to materialize around Huang Yu, while the soldiers behind him, their levels increased again!

Although Huang Yu's support couldn't allow them to cross major rank limitations, everyone at this moment had already reached Elite-grade peak!

It's no exaggeration to say that every human soldier present was now just one step away from War General.

"This, this, this..."

Everyone was so shocked they were incoherent, completely unable to understand why such a huge change had occurred in such a short time.

But they knew that the sixteen hundred monsters before them now only faced the fate of being slaughtered by them.

Soon, the monster stronghold was also taken down.

Bai Cheng once again obtained double loot, and this time her army had reached seven thousand four hundred people!

And these seven thousand four hundred people, after just a few more rounds of training, their average strength could all reach Elite-grade.

Imagine, an army composed of over seven thousand Elite-grade individuals, no matter how strong the troop characteristics of those lords were... they would absolutely not be a match for the current Bai Cheng!

It's no exaggeration to say that the current Bai Cheng was almost invincible.

But it was precisely because of the earth-shattering changes that occurred within these few short hours that her score on the leaderboard surged.

This was undoubtedly a manifestation of strength.

The result was that everyone remembered the name Bai Cheng, the leader from Channel #2, making some wavering leaders even more resolute in their inner decisions.

Bai Cheng's momentum was strong; it was absolutely not advisable to be her enemy!

So what to do? If they couldn't win, couldn't they at least run away?

Thus, those leaders who feared Bai Cheng's strength immediately withdrew all their deployments. Some even hastily allied with Pioneers they still trusted within their own channel before they could even withdraw their armies.

Afterward, they quietly began to leave the Rainforest area, attempting to go to other regions to survive and develop.

It was probably impossible to eliminate all leaders in a short time; this was bad news.

But for Bai Cheng, it wasn't without good news, because her outrageous performance had garnered the support of almost all Pioneers within her channel!

More and more Pioneers began to ally with Bai Cheng.

Within the channel, there was a trend towards complete unification...
