Volume 3, Chapter 70 – A Complicated Situation

As a result of the negotiation, Fisiel and Yeluo would become part of Eden.

And the price paid was that Eden had to send reinforcements to Fisiel and help Fisiel hold the Northern Fortress.

According to the game’s mechanics, joining Eden was in effect a betrayal of the Kingdom, and Eden with Tianyin at its head was another… faction named Dawn.

Betraying the Kingdom and joining Dawn, this outcome had become inevitable the moment the negotiations succeeded.

However…

Information about Fisiel joining Dawn was something the people of the Kingdom would not learn. In the eyes of the Kingdom, the Northern Fortress was still the Kingdom’s Northern Fortress. The upper echelons of the Kingdom and the upper echelons on the Stronghold side, for the moment, all did not know that the ownership of the Northern Fortress had already fallen into the hands of the newly born “Ninth Faction”, Dawn.

Strictly speaking… the birth of Dawn… in the current game world, aside from Dawn’s own internal members, the other NPCs or players did not know at all that there was this new faction called Dawn.

So up until now, no one knew about Fisiel’s betrayal.

However…

Because of Fisiel’s joining, Xingyu Muxi also had to make corresponding changes to the series of arrangements she had made beforehand.

For example, that previous plan of letting the Kingdom and the Stronghold tear at each other, then sitting back and reaping the fisherman’s profit, now needed to be changed.

On one hand, with the Kingdom’s army joining in, the lack of basic troops in Eden had been filled.

On the other hand, the addition of the cat-eared girl Yeluo and the knight girl Fisiel also filled the gap in Eden’s lack of high-end combat power.

With these conditions now met, since Eden had already accepted this key strategic point that was the Northern Fortress, Xingyu Muxi had no intention of handing the Northern Fortress over to anyone else again.

In this girl’s own words… since it now belonged to her, there was absolutely no such thing as giving it away again.

Since the Northern Fortress could not be given up, there had to be a whole series of plans to hold the Northern Fortress.

As for how to hold the Northern Fortress, Xingyu Muxi had her own set of methods… Probably.

……

And while Xingyu Muxi was starting to think about how to handle the Northern Fortress problem, at this time Tianyin had already brought Xiaobingxue and Xiaomengyao to the Training Camp in the barracks to try leveling up.

Leveling at the Training Camp was actually very simple. At fixed intervals, the Training Camp would refresh some “EXP monsters ¹ Experience monsters, the ones that give a large amount of experience points compared to other monsters. ” that gave a large amount of experience, and after killing these EXP monsters, you could gain a huge amount of experience points.

However, what Tianyin found a bit of a pity was that because she had that Light Body, Easy to Push Down attribute, when she did not use the power of the Seven Original Sins, even grinding these weak EXP monsters was extremely strenuous for her…

“Uwaaa, raising my level really is necessary!”

After clearing out a wave of not-very-strong EXP monsters, Tianyin could not help sighing with emotion while she rested.

But what made Tianyin feel a bit astonished was that the Xiaobingxue she had dragged over to grind levels, although her combat power was not as strong as the Frost Dragon Ysera, the strength she displayed was also extremely powerful.

Because at her core she was a Frost Dragon, even though she was in loli form and also had that emotionless, expressionless personality, in this form Xiaobingxue only needed to wave her hand to seal a pile of EXP monsters in ice. One-hit killing EXP monsters and such looked extremely… easy…

“I really never thought Xiaobingxue would be this strong…”

In Tianyin’s impression, Xiaobingxue’s combat power and Ysera in Frost Dragon form were completely different.

Strictly speaking, one had power and the other did not. But in reality, although Xiaobingxue was not as strong as Ysera, the strength she was displaying now was already infinitely close to Legendary…

“So that means, aside from Master being this strong, Xiaobingxue is also super strong?”

Realizing this, Xiaomengyao could not help feeling dejected.

The strong ones were not only Tianyin, but Xiaobingxue as well…

If this kept up, the weakest one would only be herself…

Realizing this, although Xiaomengyao felt a bit unwilling in her heart, she also became a lot more proactive when it came to raising her own level.

Although no one knew exactly what had happened, the two lolis, each with their own thoughts, after all sorts of coincidences… actually started seriously grinding levels…

Reaⅾ оո КαtRеаԁiոɡCαfе

Yes… two of them.

Besides Xiaobingxue, who kept a blank face and had no idea what was going on, and only knew to do whatever Tianyin told her to do.

……

While Xingyu Muxi was thinking about the Northern Fortress problem, and Tianyin was stubbornly raising her level. Deep in the Stronghold’s heartland, the news of Grinrui’s death in battle also reached the ears of the Stronghold’s beastmen during this period.

Grinrui, as a Legendary commander of the beastmen, his death in battle could be called extremely significant. After learning of Grinrui’s death, the beastmen with the Beastman King at their head, while shocked and enraged, also took further action.

The Northern Fortress could not be lost, and without the command of a Legendary commander, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult for the beastmen to continue competing for the Northern Fortress. In that case, they had to dispatch a new beastman commander there.

However, considering what had happened at the Northern Fortress and the fact that Grinrui had died in battle, this time the Stronghold no longer wanted to send just one Legendary commander.

To be on the safe side… the aging Beastman King overruled many objections, and with immense decisiveness directly picked three Legendary beastmen and ordered them to lead a legion to support the front.

Still, what was slightly more reliable was that this time, aside from the three Legendary beastmen for high-end combat power, the army being sent out actually only numbered just under one hundred thousand.

After all, they still had to consider the need to fight the Graveyard, so for the time being, they could only send a hundred thousand beastmen as reinforcements.

And these three Legendary beastmen were actually also the Stronghold’s trump-card combat power.

Even at its peak, the Graveyard only had a little over a dozen Legendary units, and the Stronghold that had been beaten up by the Graveyard in its peak period did not have that many Legendary units either.

So if the three Legendary beastman commanders being sent out this time were to die in battle because of an accident… then as far as the Northern Fortress was concerned, from then on the Stronghold would only be able to think about it in their hearts.

So the Stronghold acted very quickly.

Near the Northern Fortress, there were over two hundred thousand remnants of the Stronghold’s army. Adding the reinforcements that had rushed over from nearby, and the further one hundred thousand reinforcements being dispatched, if all these forces joined up in one place, then the Tianyin who had already “taken over” the Northern Fortress would be facing a Stronghold army numbering as many as five hundred thousand.

And this was the problem that Tianyin would have to face in the near future.

Not only that.

Aside from the Stronghold’s army, the Headless Knight Fischerna from the Graveyard had also led a large undead army to the station near the Northern Fortress, constantly threatening the army under Fisiel at the Northern Fortress.

The current situation was the so-called enemies on both front and back.

And with the slightest carelessness, everything would be lost.
