In the rear, two troops appeared. One was composed of thousands of massive giants, resembling enormous elephants or mountains. Their running sounded like thunder, creating an overwhelming momentum. They seemed capable of flattening the earth itself, striking terror in those who heard and chilling those who saw.

The other troop was equally formidable. Mounted on giant wolves, their howling caused the Ye family’s army’s horses to panic and scatter. Each warrior, clad in heavy armor, charged at the Ye family’s army on their giant wolves.

Behind them, a whirlwind of chaos ensued, with a tumultuous atmosphere. Thousands of troops surged forward, causing the ground to shake as if mountains were crumbling and seas were roaring!

Seeing these two armies, which seemed to have appeared from nowhere, Gu Yong and Gu Li’s hearts raced with a dreadful premonition.

"Damn it!"

"What kind of army is this?"

"Where did they come from, damn it!"

"It’s over, completely over!"

Gu Yong and Gu Li turned pale. The initial advantage of the Ye family’s army was shattered by the assault. It was a one-sided affair. The Ye family’s army was being slaughtered mercilessly, unable to mount an effective counterattack.

Gu Yong and Gu Li felt their hearts sinking. It was over. Truly over.

"I can’t accept this! Why is this happening? Where did they come from? Why does Waldo have so many powerful troops!"

"Two hundred thousand troops, yet unable to deal with just one Waldo? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!"

Gu Yong sighed in despair.

"Brother, let’s run away! With the chaos, we can still escape and make a comeback later!"

Gu Li, terrified, tried to persuade Gu Yong to flee with him. Now that their cause was lost, struggling was futile. Better to leave quickly and plan a comeback, determined to make Waldo pay.

However, Gu Yong just gave a miserable laugh and shook his head.

"It’s too late. We’re already in Waldo’s sights; he won’t let us leave."

Hearing this, Gu Li was stunned.

Then, Gu Li’s face suddenly turned white. At that moment, he too sensed numerous sharp gazes from the shadows, already locking onto them. Even trying to blend in with the ordinary soldiers was impossible. It was over. Gu Li’s face was filled with despair and hopelessness.

...

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, the trialists were just as shocked as Gu Li and Gu Yong were on the field.

"These are Barbarian Fighters!"

"Iron Wolf Guards!"

"Both of these troop types are legendary! Oh my god, Waldo actually has three types of legendary troops, it’s unbelievable! Why? How does Waldo have so many legendary troops, and in such numbers, over ten thousand?"

"Such a scale of legendary troops, such a scale of Strong Warriors, must have cost at least hundreds of thousands of points! Where did Waldo get all these points from?"

"Incredible!"

"Shocking!"

"Awesome!"

"Respect!"

"Waldo, oh Waldo, you’ve brought so many surprises!"

"Gu Yong and Gu Li, they really didn’t know the height of the sky, now they’ve met their downfall! Haha, it’s so satisfying to see them get their comeuppance after all their arrogance earlier!"

"They’re finished!"

"Waldo, please accept my bow!"

"Wonder if he needs a little brother!"

...

In the chat channel, messages flooded the screen. The trialists were utterly astounded by the power displayed by Waldo. It was hard for them to express all their emotions at once.

On the battlefield outside Tianmen City, with the emergence of the Barbarian Fighters and Iron Wolf Guards, the situation underwent a fundamental reversal. The once invincible army of the Ye family crumbled and was slaughtered unilaterally by the forces of Dawn City.

Half a day later, the war came to an end, including the smaller skirmishes.

"Are these the heads of Gu Yong and Gu Li?" Waldo looked at the heads presented to him by Darell, nodding slightly.

Yes, they were indeed Gu Yong and Gu Li.

"Daring to threaten me, wanting to kill me to make a name for themselves, they really didn’t know what they were dealing with! Now that they’re dead, they got what they deserved! They should have known their own limits!"

Waldo chuckled coldly.

...

[Name: Waldo]

[War: Battle of Tianmen City]

[Enemies Eliminated: 173,450]

[Points Gained: 173,450. With tenfold bonus, total points acquired: 1,734,500!]

Returning to Dawn City, Waldo looked at the terrifying seven-digit points and couldn’t help but grin broadly. He was extremely delighted. For the first time, he had such an enormous number of points.

"If I exchange them for ordinary soldiers, I can summon an army of 1.7 million at once! I could sweep through the Ye family in Tianzhou!"

The Ye family, as one of the five overlords, commanded an army of only about one or two million. Waldo was now strong enough to contend with them. However, such a move would stretch his logistics too thin and he wouldn’t be able to ensure basic necessities for these soldiers.

So...

"Quality over quantity," Waldo mused silently.

...

Now, Waldo’s foundation had greatly increased. His power, following the victory in this battle, had made significant progress. It could be said that after this battle, he had truly established a foothold in Tianzhou.

The Ye family could no longer do anything to him. He had completely reversed the situation! From this day on, he would switch from defense to offense, capturing more territories!

...

After pondering for a while, Waldo went to the top of Dawn City’s walls. Looking at the army vigorously training, a feeling of immense pride and ambition surged in his heart.

"Dawn City, upgrade!"

[Cost: 300,000 points! Dawn City upgraded to a War Megacity!]

Boom!

A dense fog enveloped the entire city. As everyone watched in astonishment, Dawn City underwent a massive transformation, expanding significantly. The Tianmen Gorge, which Chen Qi and his caravan had passed through before, was now also engulfed by the expansion of Dawn City. In an instant, Dawn City’s size expanded by at least twentyfold!

"Megacity!"

"This is truly an unprecedented megacity!"

"Spending 300,000 points was truly worth it!" Waldo thought, astonished. Dawn City had truly become a massive war city. It now rivaled the main cities of overlord-level families like the Ye family and Xiao family, capable of accommodating millions of people.

The walls of Dawn City had also reached over a hundred meters in height, with their defensive capabilities reaching an extremely high level.

"This is fantastic!" Waldo felt incredibly exhilarated.
