Chapter 570: Dividing the Forces into Eight Paths

From then on, Waldo had established a foundation for living and contending for dominance in the world. This was the foundation of his ability to traverse the world with prowess. A war megacity with incredibly strong defenses, capable of accommodating millions of people, gave Waldo tremendous confidence.

Subsequently, Waldo did not hesitate. He summoned various types of soldiers.

[Summoning 10,000 Barbarian Fighters, costing 200,000 points!]

[Summoning 10,000 Iron Wolf Guards, costing 200,000 points!]

[Summoning 30,000 Strong Warriors, costing 300,000 points!]

[Summoning 5,000 Divine Archers, costing 100,000 points!]

[Summoning 5,000 All-Purpose Scouts, costing 50,000 points!]

[Summoning 5,000 Elite Engineers, costing 50,000 points!]

...

"All these troops cost 900,000 points!"

"Upgrading the city cost 300,000 points!"

"Now, I still have 500,000 points left!"

"Just perfect. The upgrade to the megacity unlocked two new legendary troop types: the Eagle Warriors and Thunder Warriors!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"The Eagle Warriors are fast-moving soldiers who can soar in the skies, similar to airborne troops, capable of quickly descending behind enemy lines. With the assistance of eagles, their combat power is unimaginable!"

"The Thunder Warriors, on the other hand, can release thunder and lightning. Using their abilities together can cause thunder to flash over a large area, bringing down heavenly thunder and inflicting massive damage on the enemy!"

These two legendary troop types are among the most powerful and unique in all the legendary troops. Summoning a Thunder Warrior or an Eagle Warrior requires twenty-five points, five points higher than the average legendary troop.

Waldo was quite excited about these two troop types. So, without much deliberation, he allocated the remaining points.

"Summon 10,000 Eagle Warriors! Costing 250,000 points!"

"Summon 10,000 Thunder Warriors! Costing 250,000 points!"

With that, Waldo’s points were completely spent.

The result was excellent. Waldo summoned nearly 80,000 soldiers in one go, adding to the soldiers he had previously summoned. Now, the army under Waldo’s command officially exceeded 100,000, nearing 120,000.

Even excluding some non-combat type soldiers, the number still reached an impressive 100,000. And Waldo’s troops, each one a top-tier elite unit, were far superior to the Ye family’s forces. Saying they could fight ten to one was an understatement.

"From today onwards, in Tianzhou, no one can stop my rise!" Waldo thought. "Even if the five major families join forces, they won’t be my match!" His eyes twinkled as he burst into laughter.

At that moment, the loud sounds of training and shouting were heard outside, shaking the earth. Simultaneously, distant rumblings of thunder were heard. The sky was clear, yet streaks of lightning flashed across it, forming a spectacular thunderous vista. And on the horizon, a mass of eagles swooped down, each carrying a well-equipped, formidable warrior on their backs - the Eagle Warriors.

Seeing this grand scene, Waldo was overjoyed and laughed heartily, clapping his hands. "This world is mine!"

...

Waldo immediately summoned Darell, Chen Liu, and his other capable subordinates. Chen Qi had already escorted the caravan to the Xiao family. Waldo said, "Now, Dawn City is at the peak of its strength. We have just recently shown our might. It’s the perfect opportunity to strike back at the Ye family!"

They discussed the specifics of their plan. At this time, an envoy from the Xiao family arrived, bringing detailed intelligence about the Ye family and a map of their cities. The envoy, escorted by two Strong Warriors, was led into the great hall.

It was an elder who had previously accompanied Xiao Chen to Dawn Fort. Seeing the current state of Dawn Megacity and the soldiers training vigorously inside, his face was filled with shock, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable in this world.

"Lady Waldo is indeed peerless in bravery and unique in character! I had long seen that you are no ordinary person, but a natural-born leader and strategist!" The elder exclaimed in admiration.

Waldo smiled slightly. "As an envoy of the Xiao family, do you have any urgent matters?"

Waldo was courteous towards the Xiao family, knowing that they had sent a large army from afar to help him counter the threat from the Ye family. Although he had ultimately refused their help, he remembered their goodwill.

However, the envoy’s visit from the Xiao family was bound to be about more than just pleasantries. Upon hearing Waldo’s inquiry, the envoy got straight to the point: "On this trip, I represent the Xiao family to discuss an alliance with you, to jointly deal with the other major families in Tianzhou. With the help of the Xiao family, Lady Waldo can develop and grow faster, unafraid of any power in Tianzhou. And the Xiao family can also seize this opportunity to expand and strengthen."

"This matter is fraught with danger and opportunity!"

"Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation."

Hearing this, Waldo laughed heartily.

"I was thinking the same thing!"

...

Time passed, and eventually, Waldo and the Xiao family reached an alliance. Of course, this alliance was not made public.

Ten days later, as the world’s situation shifted, Waldo divided her army of 100,000 into eight forces. At her command, the eight armies launched attacks in eight different directions. They aimed to seize the Ye family’s cities such as Yunding City, Yunuo City, Yunfeng City, Yuyan City, Yunyang City...

In less than half a day, these eight cities were easily captured by the forces of Dawn City with lightning speed. The battle shocked the world.

"What? Waldo has launched a counterattack?"

"So soon? Although Waldo previously defeated the Ye family’s army of 200,000 and must have earned a significant number of points to summon more troops, she should only be just able to defend herself, right...?"

"Exactly! You must remember that under normal circumstances, the Ye family commands a standing army of a million! In wartime, they can quickly muster several millions!"

"How can just one Waldo contend against the massive army of the Ye family?"

"She’s being too rash!"

"Indeed! Dividing her forces into eight paths, she’s courting death!"

"And even if she manages to capture those cities, can she actually hold them?!"

...

"What? All eight armies captured those eight cities?"

"Oh my god, this is defying the heavens!"

"Waldo has really launched a counterattack and achieved initial victory!"

"This is against all odds! Unbelievable!"
