Chapter 74: What's Lin Chuan up to?
Moonshadow Woodland.
Ever since Lin Chuan rejected them.
They then began to focus on gathering intelligence about the Dark Forest.
Too many lords have fled the Dark Forest.
They quickly gathered a wealth of information about Lin Chuan.
They also soon learned of the Stone Wasteland Lord's invasion of the Dark Forest.
"Lin Chuan is indeed quite strong."
"But the Stone Wasteland is a rather special area."
"The lords over there basically live by plundering; the winner takes all."
"The lords who can survive in this area are all quite powerful."
"The group that entered the dark forest this time was Sun Ye's bandit gang."
"Their strength ranks third in the Stone Wasteland."
"In terms of actual combat strength, it's comparable to the number one."
"One of Sun Ye's bronze-level heroes has unleashed combat power equivalent to a silver-level hero."
"Lin Chuan killed the Golden Seed using the undead."
"But scrolls like the Scourge are quite rare."
"I'm afraid Lin Chuan no longer has this kind of scroll."
"I'd like to see what he'll use to fight the bandit army of the Stone Wasteland."
The one who spoke was the second leader of the Moonshadow Forest Alliance.
He ranks third in terms of lord strength.
He was in charge of intelligence in the Moonshadow Forest.
To dare to say that means one has already deduced Lin Chuan's strength.
Then the other lords echoed his sentiments.
"That's right. Based on all the intelligence, Lin Chuan is quite strong, but he is currently in a period of weakness."
"These bandits from the Stone Wasteland took advantage of his vulnerability and caught him off guard."
"I must say, the timing was impeccable."
"Lin Chuan just fought a major battle and hasn't recovered his strength yet. This time, he's really in grave danger."
"I'm afraid the entire Darkwood lord will suffer as a result."
He then opened the map, which clearly showed the locations of resources in the Dark Forest.
Just yesterday.
The lord of the Stone Wasteland unexpectedly bought a resource map of the Dark Forest in the market.
As for who sold this map...
The leader of Moonshadow Woods would certainly not admit it was him.
"With this map, they'll know where to attack."
He paused, then looked at the others.
"You know, if Lin Chuan suffered this loss, who would be the first person he thinks of asking for help?"
The final leader smiled slightly.
What do you think?
The two leaders pondered for a moment.
"Given his personality, I'm afraid he won't ask for help."
"But if we extend a helping hand now, we can bring Lin Chuan under our command."
The Grand Alliance Leader nodded slightly.
"Yes, all that trouble is for this."
"If the lords of Blue Star are all willing to follow us."
"If we pool the power of all the lords of the entire planet Blue Star to negotiate, the three of us can get better leverage."
The three alliance leaders' eyes gleamed.
"To become a god."
"Even a minor deity with weak divine power will do."
"The Earth civilization is too weak; there is no hope."
"Why not trade it away as a bargaining chip, and use it as a stepping stone to our godhood?"
The other two alliance leaders remained silent.
They appear among the Lords of Blue Star as compassionate and helpful, all in order to exchange the title of Lord of Blue Star for a chance to become a god from the alien gods.
Lin Chuan was the first to be recruited by the three men, and all they had to do was succeed.
The rest of the area will be much simpler.
If they disagree, given their strength as top-ranking lords on Blue Star, they could easily conquer them from within first.
It's just a pity.
They overestimated their own abilities and underestimated Lin Chuan's strength.
.......
Inside the dark, dense forest.
Zhou Yi led his legion to garrison in a strategically important area to block the attack of the Lord of the Stone Wasteland.
His legions were unable to defeat their opponents in open field battles.
The only option is defense.
However, they were facing highly mobile robbers.
They could only hold onto some key areas.
soon.
Large tracts of resources were looted.
The cavalry of the Stone Wasteland plundered a large amount of resources.
Zhou Yi felt an intense pang of heartache upon seeing this.
Damn it.
"Those bastards, they actually launched a sneak attack while our battle was still ongoing."
"If only I could digest the gains from this war."
"These robbers are nothing to worry about."
Zhou Yi slammed his fist down hard, venting his anger.
Unfortunately, this had no effect on the battlefield situation.
"Has Boss Lin's reinforcements arrived yet?"
Zhou Yi inquired.
He knew Lin Chuan's strength.
With Lin Chuan's full support, his cavalry could completely contain the enemy.
"There seems to be no movement."
"Alliance Leader Lin's main cavalry force has not moved."
"But Alliance Leader Lin said he had already sent reinforcements."
"What?"
Zhou Yi frowned.
"How could this happen?"
"What's the point of not sending cavalry now?"
Just when Zhou Yi was greatly puzzled.
News soon arrived from outside.
Report.
"Alliance Leader Lin's reinforcements have arrived."
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.
"It's finally here."
"Which cavalry unit is it?"
"Still a flying legion."
Or perhaps...
"?"
When they saw that there were only two people in front of them.
Zhou Yi was stunned.
"no."
"Where are the reinforcements?"
Sword Saint Rasel and Paladin Antonia had calm expressions.
He spoke calmly.
"We are the reinforcements."
The Book of Changes seemed to want to say something but then stopped.
"But you don't know that we have as many as 50,000 enemies in front of us."
"How could the two of you do this?"
When most lords were relatively weak, they still believed that war could only be won if there were more people.
They had no idea what it meant to be a one-man army in the extraordinary world.
"We are enough."
Antonia said.
"But how are we supposed to coordinate?"
"No cooperation is needed."
Antonia said calmly.
"We're here just to let you know."
"These invaders will be defeated today."
"You handle the cleanup."
After saying that, the two did not linger and turned to leave.
Zhou Yi was left alone, frowning, his eyes full of doubt and confusion.
.......
at this time.
Deep in the dark, dense forest.
A large amount of looted supplies were sent here.
The lords of the Stone Wasteland who participated in the raid were all beaming with joy.
"Haha, this is incredibly profitable! I never imagined that a mere dark forest could be so lucrative."
"Who can argue with that? Look at these resources, you could easily snatch tens of millions of dollars worth of them."
"Where we're from, you might not even get this many by robbing ten lords."
"Haha, you didn't see how pathetic the lord is here."
"After seeing us appear, they only dared to hide in the city."
"They watched helplessly as their resource territories were captured by us."
"What an incompetent lord."
"If you ask me, since this place is so weak, why don't we just take over it? Then the brothers can live a life of luxury here and never go back to that wretched Stone Wasteland."
"That makes sense, but if we want to stay, we still need to take down the alliance leader here, Lin Chuan, first."
"If he doesn't die, we're outsiders."
"Hmph, with such a bunch of useless subordinates, how strong can this lord named Lin Chuan possibly be?"
"Once we find his territory, we can gather our cavalry and launch a charge, and that piece of trash will surrender obediently."
"That makes sense, that makes sense. Only a useless leader would lead a bunch of useless members."
Mocking laughter echoed through the dense forest.
And at that very moment.
A scout cavalryman came running over.
Report.
"Just now, news from inside."
"Lin Chuan sent reinforcements."
Upon hearing this, the lord who had been raiding suddenly stood up.
"They're here!"
"Okay, okay."
This is exactly the kind of reinforcement he's been waiting for.
He already knew the location of Lin Chuan's territory, but he knew that cavalry alone wouldn't be enough to take it over.
His ideas were simple.
A portion of their forces were used as bait to lure Lin Chuan's main force to come and provide support.
Then he led the main force of his cavalry straight into Lin Chuan's territory.
A hero with strength equivalent to a Silver rank hero.
Taking over this territory, in his view, would not be too difficult.
But the news brought by the scouts stunned him.
"Two, there are two reinforcements."
"two?"
He thought he had misheard.
"Sure."
"Absolutely true."
The leader of the robbers stood up in confusion.
"Only two reinforcements will be sent!"
"What's Lin Chuan up to?"
