Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 426 - 422: The Tripartite Standoff

After slaying two Lords of the Eternal Realm, Lin You’s battlefield merit points soared to 8, and his magic energy reached nearly 7 million.

If this progress continues.

He should be able to gather enough resources to exchange for the Faith Treasure Pearl before nightfall, his speed is undeniably quick.

However.

Sometimes.

Plans often can’t keep up with changes.

Just as Lin You finished cleaning up the scene and prepared to continue exploring the dense forest, several alerts suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Warning! The position is under attack!]

[Warning! The position is under attack!]

[Warning! The position is under attack!]

The position is being attacked?

As Lin You rose to his feet, his heart jolted with surprise; he hadn’t expected the Eternal Realm to choose this moment to launch an attack.

He glanced at the already somewhat dim sky, didn’t hesitate for a moment, withdrew his species, and rode the Demon Emperor Dragon towards the position to return.

While passing by the few streets from before, he encountered many Lords running on them.

They too had received the system alert and were rushing back, appearing extremely anxious.

No choice.

There is only one position.

If it’s breached, then in these three days, they can only fight independently, and the likelihood of being defeated by the Eternal Realm one by one greatly increases.

Moreover, there’s treasure exchange inside the position.

Anyone with sense knows to desperately defend it.

“Hurry! The base is under attack, we must return to provide support!”

“Damn remnants of the Eternal Realm, attacking at such a time.”

“This time we must kill them all!”

The Lords shouted continuously, riding their species and gathering from all directions.

Both the sky and the ground were filled with figures rushing, looking extraordinarily majestic.

Luckily, the flying species along the way had already been cleared out, not posing much of an obstacle to them.

In less than twenty minutes.

Lin You followed the crowd and rushed back to the vicinity of the position.

Looking from afar, indeed a large shadow was launching a fierce attack on the position’s walls, with continuous roaring and shouting.

“Kill!!”

“Charge forward!”

“Block them! We must not let them invade!”

“Hahaha… daring to come to our Eternal Realm, your death is imminent!”

As far as the eye could see, the scene was extremely chaotic, with attacks flying everywhere, covering every corner of the position.

Lords from various realms defended the city, repelling the Eternal Realm’s offensive from the city walls, where both sides’ species clashed madly, filling the ground with corpses.

The Lords, who had hurried back from outside, were immediately confronted by the Eternal Realm Lords leading species to block their way, denying them the chance for support.

“Break through them!”

The Lords from various realms roared angrily, summoned large numbers of species to collide fiercely with the blockade forces from the Eternal Realm, and the battle erupted instantly.

Lin You quickly scanned the scene.

He noticed the number of Lords from the Eternal Realm was incredibly exaggerated, surpassing the combined Lords from all realms by several folds and populating the streets around the position entirely.

Could the Eternal Realm intend to risk everything, opting for mutual destruction with them?

It’s only the first day!

“Go down first.”

There was no time to think further, he said to the Demon Emperor Dragon beneath him, swerved to avoid those species rushing at him, and landed on one of the streets.

Given the current situation, attempting to break through the Eternal Realm’s encirclement and return to the position seemed impossible.

They could only cooperate inside and outside, employing a pincer assault strategy for combat.

Then, relying on the Lords within the position to pump species constantly, gradually depleting the enemy’s forces, they could successfully repel the adversary.

“Come quickly! This side can’t hold much longer!”

“Damn Eternal Realm scum, dying but still restless, can’t you just wait for your demise quietly!?”

“Kill them!!”

The street where Lin You stood echoed with relentless shouting.

Species from both sides filled every corner of the street, engaging in frenzied battle at corners, accompanied by booming explosions and collapsing buildings.

Throughout the street, large clouds of dust rose.

“It’s useless, you can’t stop us, might as well obediently go to Hell with us!”

The Eternal Realm Lords laughed menacingly, with their species infected by the Aura of Chaos, their attacks became increasingly fierce, forcing the Lords from various realms into retreat.

Moreover, unable to replenish their species, they were forced to retreat defensively to a corner, barely holding out.

Seeing this, the Eternal Realm Lords, their faces twisted further, mocked incessantly.

After being infected by chaos, these Lords underwent varying degrees of mental changes, becoming more agitated.

“Bang!”

Just then, sparks exploded among the crowd.

A red stream of light, with unparalleled might, suddenly sped forth, directly toward the opposing Lord’s forces.

The facial expression of an Elemental Lord, who was laughing maniacally, changed dramatically; several sturdy walls of rock abruptly emerged, blocking the path, a reaction as swift as lightning.

The next second.

With a thunderous boom.

The red stream of light pierced the rock walls directly, under the Elemental Lord’s horror-struck gaze, slammed into his chest, bursting open in a massive mist of blood.

[Killed an Alternate Plane Tier Eight Lord, gained 1 million magic energy, and 1 point of battlefield merit.]

One hit kill!

Without any suspense!

The sudden turn of events instantly shocked both sides’ Lords, who all turned to look at the source of the attack.

They saw Lin You, who had just landed, and the big cannon beside him still emanating fiery aura.

“Is that… the Blast Shooter species?”

“Is the Plant Type’s Blast Shooter that big?”

“Instantly eliminating a Tier Eight Lord, what immense attack power!”

The Blast Shooter, one of the evolution paths derived from the Pea Shooter, isn’t an especially rare species; practically every Lord has seen it before.

But it was their first time seeing such a terrifyingly powerful Blast Shooter.

It completely refreshed their stereotype of the Plant Type being high defense, low attack.

The Realm Lords across from them were especially shocked, their faces paling.

Though they were not afraid of death,

being suddenly shot through the chest from a hundred meters away was a powerful deterrent for them.

In their astonishment, they hurriedly retreated, letting their species protect them, keeping a wary eye on Lin You.

Lin You sighed silently.

He knew the best opportunity for an ambush had passed.

Thus, he didn’t want to stand out anymore, gathering his species around him to fend off the enemy’s attack, while letting Shadowless lurk nearby, awaiting the next opportunity to strike.

Just like that.

By utilizing the advantages of the terrain.

Both sides fought fiercely inside and outside the grounds for nearly half an hour.

Finally, as the sky darkened, a commanding shout suddenly echoed.

“Retreat!”

At the command, the Realm Lords who had been fiercely attacking like a tidal wave retreated rapidly.

In no time, they vanished at the end of the dark street.

Clearly, they decided to give up further attacks seeing they couldn’t break through the fortifications.

“We won!”

“We won!”

“Trying to break through our defenses? Still too inexperienced!”

“Hahaha…”

Seeing the retreat of the Eternal Realm forces, the Lords from various realms cheered enthusiastically.

In the first major battle between the two sides, they ultimately claimed victory.

This greatly boosted their confidence, leading them to ridicule the retreating Eternal Realm.

But amid the joyful crowd, Lin You couldn’t feel happy.

Because he realized the overall strength of the Eternal Realm Lords was far weaker than he imagined.

He had previously fought with the Eternal Realm Lords in the forest and knew their general strength.

With the advantage in numbers, a full-on attack should have had a great chance of breaching the defenses.

Even if they couldn’t destroy the fortress foundation, it shouldn’t have ended so abruptly.

He didn’t believe those insane people retreated out of fear of death.

Perhaps…

This was just a probing attack.

They might be conserving strength, planning another major offensive later on?

It’s possible.

But for some reason.

Lin You felt this attack was not as simple as he imagined, certainly not just a straightforward assault.

“It seems they are not simple people over there.”

Lin You mused quietly, keeping this in mind for later.

During this battle, he had slain five Eternal Realm Lords.

Magic Energy finally reached twelve million, achieving thirteen merit points on the battlefield.

At last, he could exchange for a Faith Treasure Pearl.

Seeing twilight approach, he stopped pondering it, joined the Lords, and headed back across the street to the fortifications.

After half a day of battle.

The number of Lords was obviously reduced.

Those less powerful Lords were essentially eliminated, leaving only the stronger ones or those adept at survival.

However, some Lords were clever.

Knowing their limited strength, they simply stayed within the fortifications, never venturing out.

Or they formed alliances with friendly realms to counter threats from other territories.

This resulted in gangs forming everywhere within the fortifications, with groups of Lords and camps everywhere.

As Lin You walked through the entrance into the grounds, he was greeted with a tense atmosphere.

He observed the scene.

All the Lords could basically be divided into three major camps.

One was the Human Race camp led by the man who previously rallied unity.

One was the Alien Race camp led by Cyan Phoenix.

The last one was a loose alliance of various independent camps.

In mere half a day.

The tripartite situation formed, occupying three distinct areas within the grounds.

And about one-third of the Lords remained neutral, joining no camp.

Indeed.

Where there are people, there are conflicts.

Truly spot on…

Especially after driving away the Eternal Realm army and feeling there was no threat from them, this trend became increasingly evident.

Almost all Lords shifted focus from guarding to contending for interest.

But that’s not the main issue.

The most crucial point is that the foundation of the fortifications had been completely controlled by these three forces in alliance.

Others wishing to exchange goods or recruit species had to hand over the necessary resources.

Though the scattered Lords felt indignant, they dared not speak out or offend these three forces.

Otherwise, they could only join them to gain the chance to use the fortress foundation.

“Boy, are you looking for death? Don’t you know you need to hand over resources to use the foundation?!”

Suddenly, a loud curse rang out in the center of the battlefield.

The Lords who had been cautiously watching one another all turned to the source of the sound.

At the edge of the fortress foundation, a large group surrounded several Lords, their arrogance at its peak.

It was none other than the loose alliance, one of the three major camps!
