Origin Paradise!

Gluttony Lord - Maker.

Extraordinary Burst - Top-Tier Support.

The Final Time Ring – The Restorer.

Jiang He's expression was slightly strange. He felt that even if he focused on support and production, he should be able to do quite well.

Chapter 380 Offensive and defensive changes

January 2th, the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era.

The Allied Forces' campaign against the Overlord Lifeform ended in failure. Six top-tier powerhouses, including the Mad Priest, the All-Powerful Mage, the Red Dragon Queen, the Dinosaur Tyrant, the Night Man, and the Twins, perished in the Ninth Fortress region. The annihilation of a massive horde of millions of creatures shocked the world.

The dominant life form has confirmed its unparalleled status in the era. Chairman Dogus avoids its sharp edge and chooses to retreat to the Eighth Fortress, where a fierce conflict breaks out with the Allied forces of the present realm.

On the day the chaos in the fortress ended, all six major guilds fled. Among them, the vice-president of the Radiant Knights died, and the guild leader was assassinated by an unknown player while seriously injured. The entire guild was shattered.

Originating from the battlefield: 699 people.

Final Battlefield: 396 people.

Battlefield of All Beings: 420 people.

Dusk Battlefield: 903 people.

Meanwhile, the Saint Lilith launched a manhunt for the guild.

……

Inside the Black and White Pass.

Hundreds of players from the Elemental Guild rode their elemental warhorses across the plains, their faces filled with panic.

For unknown reasons, the Reversed Pass collapsed. Originally, this was the shortest route to exit the Ninth Fortress. However, after the battle, everyone knew that the Overlord had the ability to "return to the old ground." The seemingly correct direction of the Reversed Pass was actually a deadly trap.

"Leader, we've caught up with that warship!" the vice president shouted, his eyes gleaming.

The leader looked back at the sky and saw a space carrier flying rapidly from the horizon below the clouds. Fifty-six elemental cannons were aimed at the ground, and the energy waves of perfect-level elemental magic converged.

"Everyone scatter!" she roared immediately.

boom!

Before anyone could react, the main cannon at the bow fired. Instead of a towering beam of energy, a barely perceptible streak of crimson light fell straight into the ground and vanished without a trace.

At the very center of the massive herd of elemental warhorses, a figure landed.

Everyone, including the president and vice president, fell into deep despair.

The name "Overlord Mo Ke" is now known to everyone, and has even spread to the boundless void through player channels. In the Silver Age, he was synonymous with invincibility.

As the black sun rose, a massive siphon tornado converged across the plains, its terrifying devouring force shattering all defenses.

The vast majority of the Elemental Guild members died instantly, their extraordinary abilities and personal items becoming nourishment for Gluttony, causing the area's radius to reach nine hundred meters.

Only the vice president survived, bowing his head in respect.

As Jiang He approached, she examined the women's supreme armor in her hand. It was smooth and silver-white all over, with gemstones inlaid on the shoulders. The curves were not very obvious, and the arms were engraved with elemental patterns, which had corresponding enhancements. Its sturdiness was at the supreme level.

This defensive item belonged to the Elemental Lord; he didn't give it to Black Sun but intended to keep it for Aya.

"The Ninth Fortress will issue a wanted notice later, offering a bounty for your capture." Jiang He looked up and said, "You will gain the honor of escaping from the overlord. As for how the story is made up, that's none of my business. In short, with this kind of reputation, it won't be difficult to win over team members, but it mainly depends on your own abilities."

The vice president nodded repeatedly in agreement. In fact, this was the first time he had seen this extraordinary being. For some reason, the overlord had set his sights on the fire and earth elemental spirits of his guild, and he was the one in charge of logistics and finance.

The great power Dougs wrote a letter to him, contacting him through his friends list. He argued that surrendering to a hegemon, especially when one's own side was attacking the enemy's territory, was not shameful.

The vice president admitted that he betrayed the guild's escape route because he had no other choice. He also disapproved of the guild leader sending elemental spirits to curry favor with the Red Dragon Queen, which ultimately resulted in a mess. However, these were secondary reasons.

When the Red Dragon Queen cast the combined spell, she directly ordered two massive elemental hordes of level 10,000 to self-destruct. The cost of raising such hordes is self-evident, and the leader who made the mistake could not possibly bear such responsibility. After all, the Red Dragon Queen's actions essentially showed that she did not treat the elemental leaders as human beings, and the damage to her prestige was enormous.

The vice president carefully took out two cards and two bags of corresponding elemental crystals.

"Your Excellency, all the guild's elemental spirits are here."

There are 10,000 fire elemental spirits and 10,000 earth elemental spirits. Both need to be fed regularly. They are limbless spheres, about the size of a millstone, and their intelligence is not as high as that of a stray dog.

The vice president was uneasy. What if the other party asked him for the guild's logistics items? Giving them or not would be difficult. These were the capital for a comeback. As for the game currency, it had all been spent on supplies before the arrival of the guild.

Time passed by second by second.

When the vice president looked up, the person was already gone, and the crimson card on the ground had disappeared. He turned around and found that the space carrier had turned around.

……

On the Saint Lilith.

Colorful butterflies perched in various places.

Jiang He gave the Supreme Armor to Zhuang Ya, and entrusted the two large group cards and elemental crystals to Lao Hei for safekeeping. He obtained the elemental spirit and the butterfly he had attracted from the lone wolf player who invaded the fortress. The result was simple, but the search was a bit tedious. If he hadn't made a special trip to hunt them down, he could have actually left two or three guilds behind.

"Fire and earth elemental spirits need to eat extraordinary creatures containing the corresponding elements. Crystallized creatures are like dog food; feeding them as a meal is a bit too expensive." Old Hei flipped through the feeding manual that Chu Fuqiang had sent him.

"The food of the butterfly that pulls the butterfly is other butterflies. The Screaming Worm is currently in the hands of the Si family. Its resonance ability is suitable for fortune tellers."

Old Black weighed the costs of raising them. To activate the Starfall Flower, four large groups of tens of thousands of extraordinary creatures were needed. Just the food for them would require consuming a perfect item of medium quality every month.

Fortunately, they have a resource-rich border, so they don't need to constantly trade with various forces. They can simply send out teams to hunt down alien species, as the creatures in the Dark Forest are countless.

Jiang He gazed down at the earth from the cabin window.

Zhuang Ya took a thorn and stood behind her, thinking seriously. Her little face was filled with a hint of excitement. She was trying to help the giant snake tie its platinum long hair. From design to practice, it was a unique skill, mixed with a little bit of Dawn's computing power.

Jiang He didn't care at all; no matter how he rearranged it, it wouldn't affect its combat power, and it would also give the little guy something to do.

On the ground, nearly 800,000 members of the Evil Legion are dismantling the fortress walls. The walls are not entirely made of silver. Once the walls are gone, the fortress's inhabitants will lose their barrier against the wild beasts. The Great Benevolent Black Man cannot bear to see such a sin, so he volunteered to work overtime for three days and nights and applied to Dawn for four Silver Guards to be stationed there permanently.

Although someone can kill Silver-ranked players like it's nothing now, before the players arrived, a fortress only had one or two Silver-ranked players, and four Guards were enough to replace the function of walls.

Of course, power comes with obligations. Old Black bestowed upon the guards the title of legion commander, but there were no restrictions on their daily duties, and the fine wine and beautiful women were up to them.

The entire fortress wall was demolished in three days.

The evil legion is refining silver.

According to Shuguang's simulation calculations, the city walls of the present-day Southern Zhili region weigh 3500 million tons, and the fortress walls would naturally be even heavier. Even if the silver content is not particularly high, the amount of silver stone would still reach 500 million tons.

The Saint Lilith began to collect silverstone on a large scale. Jiang He led Zhuang Ya to start making evil soldiers. With the help of the gold and silver conversion technique, one evil soldier requires 100 kilograms of silver. It is estimated that 500 million tons of silverstone can produce 5000 million evil soldiers.

The problem is, there aren't that many corpses now.

"Master, the casualties caused by the guild invasion, the accumulated human-ant skeletons, and the large groups of fallen humanoid creatures, all gathered together, amount to more than 900 million."

Jiang He rarely hesitated. The population of the other fortresses was sufficient, but he was afraid that Lao Hei's goodwill would collapse. Moreover, he would have to stay in the present realm for a long time to come, and being in full hostility with the Order Bureau would not be in line with his previous development strategy.

Most importantly, the number of evil soldiers does not have a decisive impact on their combat strength. In the vast world of the boundless void, one can always find suitable races such as vampires, demons, and orcs.

As a hegemon, he has the option to make choices at his leisure.

"The disadvantages outweigh the advantages, so let's concede for now." Jiang He ordered, "Begin transporting the corpses."

"clear."

Alchemy is conducted around the clock.

The renowned alchemist worked tirelessly for ten days and nights, barely managing to complete the task.

Since the Saint Lilith could not carry such a large number of soldiers, Jiang He would use the power of the Gluttonous Lord to integrate the prop puppets and create the Guardians every time the number reached 10,000.

When the alchemy was finished, Zhuang Ya, still half asleep, found a corner and curled up on the ground to fall asleep.

The number of the Evil Legion has been restored to 120 million.

The number of Silver Guards has increased to 1000.

[Name: Ferocious Guard]

[Category: Functional]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect ①: Constant and Absolute Loyalty]

[Effect 2: Advanced Physique/Advanced Strength/Advanced Speed]

[Effect 3: The body possesses advanced sturdiness, with strength, constitution, and agility all at 25, and energy points of 3000]

[Effect 4: Pseudo-Silver Body and Silver Energy]

[Note: Produced by Gluttony - Combat power is approximately equal to the Silver baseline, created by combining 10000 basic Fiend Soldiers]

Jiang He carried Zhuang Ya to her private room, then turned back to continue refining the magic steel armor and magic steel gun. This battle was worthwhile; the large-scale development alone was enough to make it worthwhile.

"Dawn, send 50,000 Dawn soldiers down and transfer 250,000 Evil Fiend soldiers up. The 300,000 troops stationed on the Saint Lilith will be reorganized into the Evil Fiend Defense Legion."

"The million vicious soldiers on the ground were reorganized into a war legion, and A-Da, A-Er, and A-San were appointed as legion commanders."

"The First Legion attacks the first stronghold in the heart of the Alliance."

"The Second Legion attacks the Alliance's second fortress in the north."

"The Third Army Corps will remain at the Ninth Fortress."

“Each legion commander came and took a Blood Shadow Spear.”

"The Saint Lilith is immediately en route to the first fortress, Silver City."

The Legion's highest orders were issued.

After a month-long standoff, with the allied forces suffering heavy casualties and the reputation of a hegemon established, Jiang He set his sights on the absolute center of the alliance—Silver City.

In addition, negotiations with the Bureau of Order have been put on the agenda, firstly regarding the Screaming Worms in the hands of the Trading Bureau family, and secondly regarding the issue of land division.

Chapter 381 Huge Changes

January 16th, the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era.

The Ninth Fortress launched an attack and captured the Second Fortress in the north of the Alliance, as well as the First Fortress, Silver City, located in the center.

There was no large-scale resistance throughout the entire process; only sporadic, probing attacks by individual players without any clear objective.

If the battlefield game weren't a true death game where even a super-high-level life form couldn't save someone from the collapse of their soul, then even if the overlord were ten times stronger, there would still be a constant stream of players challenging them.

In the boundless void, eternal death, like primordial evil, is the most fundamental rule.

It is only natural for the dominant player to occupy a share of the three fortresses, and players generally agree on this.

When the First Legion's more than 300,000 troops entered Silver City, the "native" major guild occupying the city—the War Chariot Association—chose to surrender. Their leader and main force had already perished in the Ninth Fortress.

……

Silver City.

As the most densely populated place in the entire Fortress Alliance, Silver City is much larger than other fortresses, with a human garrison of two million. However, due to the heavy casualties on the front lines, half of the troops are now second-line garrison troops.

The Supreme Council is located in the Silver Palace, a dark and exquisite building situated in the heart of the city.

Its exterior is built of dark gray megaliths, resembling a giant castle, with silver patterns engraved on the surface, as if moonlight were shining on cold rocks, and the palace spires soaring into the clouds, with huge pure silver stones inlaid at the top.

A thousand Silver Guards were the first to take up positions, guarding the various watchtowers and corner towers, while the Saint Lilith hovered directly above, its cannons constantly in a semi-active state.

At the heart of the Silver Palace is the Parliament Hall, where the dome is quite high and supported by countless stone pillars carved with intricate patterns. A huge round table is set in the center of the hall, and the most magnificent and imposing seat belongs to the Speaker.

Jiang He took the seat of honor without hesitation.

Zhuang Ya stood quietly to the side. Because of her petite stature, she looked somewhat like a pendant on the throne. At this moment, she was wearing the Supreme Silver Armor and a Perfect Heavy Sword at her waist. Combined with the Undying-level Nine True Sword Technique that she had already mastered, as well as the Silver Peak Dragon physique, her overall strength was at least at the Strong Peak level.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Ya is still far from being at the level of the great powers. In fact, the great powers are perfect in every aspect. Even without the convenience of the Gluttonous King, they can serve as a secondary alternative by using many perfect skills at the same time.

However, when facing a dominant power, most of the great powers have no chance or qualification to use their skills. If Chairman Dougs were to use his Ultimate Ant Armor in battle, it would not only be a waste of energy, but a single flaw would be enough to lead to a swift defeat.

More than a month later, the Supreme Council convened again.

Jiang He surveyed the main hall, which could be described as "a gathering of wise men".

With twelve top councilors, six legion commanders, and seventy-seven powerful G5-level officials, the old local forces have returned to the forefront today, as multiple major associations seize power.

Jiang He didn't mind restoring these guys to power and having them act as his military support. The area of ​​occupation in the main quest was related to a lot of experience points, so he needed to implement it as soon as possible.

The former speaker rose from his seat and reported: "Under the wise leadership of the Grand Speaker, the First, Second, and Ninth Fortresses have been fully recovered. The Third Fortress in the Northwest has declared its allegiance, and its leader, the Gourmet, has assumed the post of Chief of Logistics."

The gourmet was around sixty years old, with an elegant and gentle demeanor. She immediately stood up and nodded to everyone. She came from the Twilight Battlefield and had previously been in charge of the allied forces' logistics and food supplies. She had no objection to surrendering. With the support of the powerful, hunting wild beasts was the right path for her.

Wild beast meat can be used to make food and hone culinary skills.
