For every soldier killed, ten points can be earned!

Although it’s far less than killing zombies and wolf packs.

But the number is much higher!

Far more than zombies and wolves!

Take this time, for instance, with a total of eighty thousand troops from the Ye family attacking!

If they are all annihilated, Waldo can earn a staggering eight hundred thousand points in one

go!

That number is terrifying!

It’s unknown how many elite soldiers could be summoned with that!

"Come, let’s have a head-on battle!"

"Ye family, the moment you became my enemy, your nightmare was destined to begin! This is just the start, I will give you a big gift! I believe in the near future, you will be completely annihilated!"

"Believe me, I do as I say!"

Waldo smirked coldly, his eyes filled with chilling intent.

In an instant.

The entire Stone City sprung into action.

Engineers busily prepared, diligently checking and repairing armor and weapons.

Orders were issued from the lord’s mansion.

All soldiers outside swiftly returned to the city.

At the same time, a large number of scouts departed to gather intelligence.

A great battle was imminent.

This was the biggest challenge Waldo had faced since entering the third level.

But it was not the last.

It was just the beginning.

In the future, there would be even more formidable enemies.

But he was fearless!

...Chat channel.

"I can feel it, Tianzhou is in turmoil! The two great overlords, the Xiao and Ye families, have already faced off, like a powder keg about to explode. Just one step away, and war will break out completely!"

"With the scale of the Xiao and Ye families, once a war starts, it will truly be a catastrophe with bloodshed spanning thousands of miles!"

"Is anyone here from Tianzhou? I’m in a tough spot, a trialist who got conscripted! Damn it, I might die on the battlefield!"

"Really? Is the situation in Tianzhou that bad? War is about to break out? That’s terrifying! Thank goodness it’s stable here, with no turmoil."

"Yeah! Us trialists in Tianzhou are having a really hard time!"

"I’m numb to it all!"

"Damn, my base was on the path of the Ye family’s advancing army, and they almost besieged me. Luckily, I surrendered in time, and now I’m a prisoner, just hoping they won’t execute me!"

"Gosh, that’s terrifying."

...

"You know, I heard that the unrest in Tianzhou involves trialists!"

"Really? Don’t lie to me!"

"Awesome!"

"Absolutely true, a local friend told me. I guess that person is a trialist, and now an eighty-thousand-strong army is out to get him!"

"Oh no, I hope they’re safe!"

"Eighty thousand troops, geez, just thinking about it is scary! A sea of people, a dark mass, how can one withstand such a force? Not to mention, the generals leading this expedition are the invincible Ye Heavenly Dragon, Wade Long, and Mallin Yun!"

"This fellow trialist is doomed for sure! It’s sad and pitiful! After all, he’s one of us, but he messed with the Ye family, a colossal force, and even during the tense situation between the Ye and Xiao families, the Ye family still diverted a huge army to deal with him. This shows how seriously they take this matter!"

"A role model for us all!"

"Too bad, he’s about to die!"

For a moment.

In the chat channel.

The trialists had varied reactions to the news.

Some were quite indifferent to it.

Some trialists seemed to revel in schadenfreude, as if they couldn’t wait for that fellow trialist to die early and find peace.

Many others had mixed feelings.

In this world.

The native forces are too powerful.

Currently, trialists are too weak to stand a chance against them.

Provoking them carelessly can easily lead to annihilation.

Even the best among the trialists are helpless.

In the face of massive war machinery, they are still easily defeated!

However, unbeknownst to them, in their anxiety and anticipation, the protagonist of the event,

Waldo, was enthusiastically preparing for battle, full of anticipation.

...

Outside the Devil’s Forest, an eighty-thousand-strong army, high in spirits, marched with a vigorous and imposing stride on the path cleared through the forest.

Thirty thousand of them wore heavy black armor, each suit weighing tens of kilograms.

Yet, clad in such heavy armor, they seemed hardly fatigued.

Each one was a fierce warrior with a sharp gleam in their eyes!

The remaining fifty thousand were also well-trained soldiers.

Not all were battle-hardened veterans, but each was a top-notch fighter!

All full of confidence!

Eager for action!

No wonder.

They were the army of the Ye family, the overlord of Tianzhou. They usually strutted around the Ye family’s territory, invincible, the sharpest blade of the Ye family.

Dispatching them to annihilate an obscure force was surely an easy task?

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it would be an effortless crush.

...

"Is a castle with just a few hundred, not even a thousand people, worth our eighty-thousand-strong army’s attack? Is our family head making a mountain out of a molehill?"

In the army, the deputy commander wore a majestic silver armor, resembling a fierce tiger, with a bristling beard and piercing eyes.

He sat atop a tall horse, expressing his dissatisfaction in a grumbling tone.

Despite his internal complaints, he had no choice.

He was, after all, at the very front line of the standoff with the Xiao family!

He had always dreamt of engaging in a grand battle with the Xiao family, slaughtering their troops, crushing their main force, achieving great feats, and gaining fame across the land.

Suddenly, he was called back by an order from the family head.

The purpose? Merely to deal with a minor character he had never even heard of.

How could he be pleased? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

His beautiful dream had instantly turned into a bubble.

If the Ye family and the Xiao family went to war at this moment, he would certainly not be able to return in time.

"Sigh! Bad luck!"

...

The chief commander of the army, on the other hand, was calm and composed.

Dressed in golden armor, he exuded an air of might and authority.

He glanced over, and the deputy commander involuntarily shrank his neck.

Clearly, he was quite fearful.

After all, the chief commander was his own elder brother.

From childhood, he had feared nothing and no one, except for this brother.

"I just don’t feel comfortable about it!"

"Your temper, at such a crucial moment, is why you wouldn’t easily be left on the frontline. The situation now is too sensitive. Both the Ye and Xiao families actually dare not act rashly. If a war breaks out, wouldn’t it just benefit the other three families?"

"Right now, everyone is actually probing. The Xiao family doesn’t really want to start a war! It’s just to make a statement, and to put up appearances."

"However, it’s hard to say! That’s why the family head has sent us to first eliminate the mysterious lord in the Devil’s Forest."
