Chapter 631: The Arrogance of the Exorcists

Chu Yuan flattered her without leaving a trace.

Although he didn't hit the mark perfectly, Lan Qingyou was still very happy in her heart.

After all, one of the labels of the Witch Race was Alchemy. If they even lost this, it wouldn't be as simple as losing face.

Tower: "Alright, @Justice, give me a bottle of Heaven's Fall as a reference. Judgement will pay."

After thinking about it, Lan Qingyou still decided to accept this job.

Anyway, for her, this kind of Potion research could also increase her experience.

Although Lan Qingyou was now at a level where she didn't even need World Artifacts.

But wasn't learning like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall back?

With the appearance of something new, naturally she had to study it first.

But there was still room for her to learn in the combination of biotechnology and magic.

After all, she had also played this hand before.

So she wanted to see the differences based on others playing with the same toys she played with.

Justice: "No problem."

Seeing Lan Qingyou accept this job, Chu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he had some sort of savior complex and couldn't bear to see others suffer.

Rather, Chu Yuan acutely sensed that this was an opportunity.

After knowing what the liquor's effect was, these people would definitely fall into a breakdown later.

Even if they didn't break down, they would definitely try every possible means to raise funds to buy the liquor.

This way, if someone could rescue them from the deep water and scorching fire, without a doubt, they would definitely become the object of these people's worship, gratitude, and allegiance.

And what he wanted was exactly this kind of people.

Although he already had enough of this kind of people under him.

But who would mind having too many subordinates loyal to themselves?

Just like those guys who occupied mountains to become kings. The reason they could become people at the pinnacle of power like 'kings' again in this situation of complete reshuffling was definitely that they had extraordinary qualities and a group of diehard loyalists.

Otherwise, why do you think they are kings instead of those soldiers being kings?

To put it bluntly, everyone was risking their old lives to save up family assets for themselves. Naturally, Chu Yuan was no exception to this.

...

And right when this group of guys was discussing academic issues, in the main Tent of the Exorcists on the West River Plain, far on the western side of the Double Ring Hills at the northern end of the continent, a group of people was discussing matters regarding the Double Ring Hills.

In a cluster of tents made up of millions of tents, over a dozen people sat in a circle, warming themselves by the fire while eating roasted monster meat skewered over the flames.

Whoosh—

Just as everyone was enjoying the delicious food, a person lifted the tent flap and walked in from outside.

"A scout just reported that some major action is taking place over at the Double Ring Hills."

The newcomer said this as soon as he entered the tent. However, the people inside didn't seem to make any movements because of this. Instead, someone started complaining about him.

"Hey, quickly pull the flap down."

"The tent was quite warm originally, but it got cold as soon as you came in."

"In such a heavy snowstorm, it's amazing you can even walk around outside."

"Bastards, don't make me sound like some kind of snowman. Do you think I want to walk around outside?"

After being complained about by everyone, the newcomer pointed at their noses and cursed.

Then, feeling angry, he directly pushed two people aside, sat into the circle, drew his dagger, and carved a piece of meat off the roasted monster in front of him.

"Don't be nervous. It's nothing more than some futile struggles. After the next mana turbulence passes, we'll attack directly and take that place down as soon as possible."

Someone said uncaringly.

Yes, they didn't stop attacking out of the goodness of their hearts, but because of the weather.

The impending mana turbulence was not something they could control.

So millions of people stopped outside the Double Ring Hills like this, waiting for the mana turbulence to end.

However, it was only a matter of a week anyway, so they could just take advantage of this opportunity to rest and reorganize properly.

After all, they had been conquering cities and seizing territories without a stop before this.

Coupled with the temptation of evolution, the people in those regions defected very quickly, so it went very smoothly.

As a result, they encountered this unexpected resistance here at the Double Ring Hills.

"Indeed. No matter what major actions they take, they are futile in the face of our great army."

"With our number of millions now, let alone those Transmigrators, we wouldn't even fear Evolvers."

"Hahahahaha, who says otherwise."

A burly man pierced a tender piece of roasted meat with the dagger in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and laughed loudly.

In their view, the Exorcists had an absolute advantage.

Although in terms of numbers, they might not be as many as the Transmigrators, it was undeniable that their quality was much better compared to the Transmigrators.

And compared to the Evolvers, they had an absolute numerical advantage.

This gave these guys who were in the middle ecological niche a feeling that the Exorcists were invincible in the world.

So no matter what the Transmigrators opposite them wanted to do, they felt it wouldn't threaten them.

"But don't forget that the Kings' Alliance Army has quite a few magical items in their hands. I heard that the disposable items on the market recently are almost sold out. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be used by those guys to deal with us."

The person who just came in said indifferently while pouring himself some liquor.

This sentence directly made this group of arrogant guys quiet down immediately.

In fact, the Exorcists and the Kings' Alliance Army had already fought once.

In that battle, the Kings' Alliance Army used quite a few magical items as if they cost no money, which barely withstood their attack.

"We were careless that time. Who would have thought that the Kings' Alliance Army would have so many magical items."

"Exactly. With this experience, next time we attack, we will definitely take down the Double Ring Hills in one fell swoop."

"Right, right."

Someone argued, refusing to admit defeat.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Their previous unstoppable momentum gave them an illusion of being 'invincible in the world'.

So they didn't take it seriously when they encountered the Kings' Alliance Army.

But when those Transmigrators they looked down upon pulled out piece after piece of Rune Stones and Magic Scrolls and threw them at their faces, they realized that just having quality was not enough when facing this kind of 'money offensive'.

They still needed a little bit of a numerical advantage.

Thus, they stopped to wait for the assembly of reinforcements, but ended up colliding with this month's mana turbulence.

"The boss is really something. I just don't know why we have to fight towards the east. In my opinion, we should fight towards the south, all the way to the Forsaken Territory."

Because an awkward atmosphere gradually permeated the air, someone changed the topic.

And this topic instantly dispersed this unpleasant atmosphere.

Everyone once again started a heated discussion.

It would be better to say that this topic had a very high degree of discussion among the Exorcists from the very beginning of the attack.
