Chapter 2731

Using Elf Prince Valun to exchange for food was a very wise choice, at least in Su Xiao's view. He was very short of food now, and with food, he could have more orc troops.

But this also depended on the situation. With Elf Prince Valun's attitude, if he were redeemed even like this, then the captives caught later would be even more unscrupulous, and the food that could be exchanged would be even less.

Killing Elf Prince Valun now would have a strong deterrent effect when capturing the high-level officials of the Six-Race Alliance later. It was true that the Chaos Legion was poor, but if the Six-Race Alliance dared to be arrogant and only took out a small amount of food to fool people, then their nobles would die.

【Prompt: You have killed Elf Prince Valun.】

【You have obtained a Holy Spirit Grade Treasure Chest (37%).】

【You have obtained 5.17% of the World's Source.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao's eyebrows raised. Previously, when he killed the Imperial soldiers, not a single treasure chest dropped, let alone the World's Source. The only World's Source he obtained was from the few soldier captains he killed when he just escaped from the Royal Capital's outlying county, totaling 3.7% of the World's Source.

There were too many people in power in this world, and they had a great influence on this world, so the World's Source was "spread out," and the acquisition amount was reduced.

If he could kill the Duoyin King, the Elf Queen, etc., he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of World's Source, but that difficulty was too high. Such people were definitely protected by many strong people and were located in the hinterland of their respective territories.

【Prompt: The Yan Valley Fortress battle has ended, battle settlement in progress...】

【You have obtained titles: Dictator (★★★★), Purgatory Vanguard (★★★★), Enemy of the Elves (★★★★).】

【You have obtained 30,000 War Merit points (this is a battle reward).】

【You have obtained 157,260 War Merit points (this is a kill-type War Merit reward).】

【Prestige ranking has been refreshed, the current ranking is as follows:】

First place: Bai Ye (Samsara Paradise), 194,319 War Merit points.

Second place: Moon Apostle (Apocalypse Paradise), 31,500 War Merit points.

Third place: Gray Gentleman (Samsara Paradise), 31,270 War Merit points.

Fourth place: Flame Master (Sanctuary Paradise), 15,166 War Merit points.

Fifth place: Gulu (Samsara Paradise), 3,200 War Merit points.

Sixth place: Muxiao (Holy Light Paradise), 2,190 War Merit points.

Seventh place: Huang Hai (Watchman Paradise), 675 War Merit points.

Su Xiao closed the War Merit ranking. In general, the first-place position was temporarily very stable, but he could not be slack; he needed to fight a few more battles to stabilize it.

As long as the scale of the battle was large enough, it would be judged as a battle. Victory in a battle meant being able to obtain a few four-star titles.

Su Xiao's current 【War Lord】 was a five-star title, which required 5 titles of the same grade to burn and refine.

As long as 【War Lord】 was upgraded to a six-star title, Su Xiao would be able to upgrade 【War Lord】 from a six-star to a seven-star title through the 【Dream Chaser】 title.

How strong a seven-star 【War Lord】 was, could not be estimated for the time being, but one thing was absolute: by then, Su Xiao would likely have the strength to contend with the Six-Race Alliance.

That's right, at the moment, Su Xiao was definitely not the opponent of the Six-Race Alliance. Their troop strength exceeded 6 million, and the number of elite troops among them would definitely not be small. Once targeted by the Six-Race Alliance, defeat was only a matter of time.

Taking down the "Yan Valley Fortress" seemed very smooth, but in fact, about 50,000 orc troops died. The weapons, armor, etc., of the orc soldiers were all somewhat poor, and their own state was not too good, all relying on the 【War Lord】 title to hard-top it.

"Mentor, why are we fleeing?"

"Woof?"

Xiang Bubu Wang's head tilted, and its expression immediately became joyful. It liked going to cold places very much.

In the northern part of the war zone, the cold wind whistled, and a flickering light shone from an ice cave.

White hair was blown by the wind, and a figure wearing winter clothes was sitting above the ice cave.

"Hatching so slowly, these familiars are not enough. Gray Gentleman's side should also be almost ready, right? Damn it~, why did I encounter that guy?"

A young girl aged seventeen or eighteen looked up at the sky. Her gaze was somewhat dazed; this was her appearance of being completely unable to raise any interest. The daily life of the summoning system was just so boring. At the moment, she had already summoned 17,560 summoned beasts, and she was not far from breaking the 20,000 mark.

"Let's accumulate 50,000 first, consider it a surprise for Gray Gentleman."

Moon Apostle stretched. Her aura was very clear, and it wouldn't even make people feel killing intent. This was because when she fought with enemies, she basically wouldn't make a move herself. She would first be swallowed by space-type familiars, and then she would start waiting, waiting for the enemies outside to be besieged to death.

"What a boring day, can't you give me some surprises~"

Moon Apostle, who had nothing to do, opened the War Merit ranking to check, and the surprise came.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand. 194,319 War Merit points, hmm, didn't see it wrong."

Moon Apostle nodded as if to confirm. After she was silent for a few seconds, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Why would someone obtain 190,000 War Merit points!"

The shouting spread very far in the ice field. Similar to Moon Apostle's situation was Gray Gentleman, who was located in the Duoyin Royal Capital, inside the third floor of the palace.

Sunlight shone in from the printed glass, and in the luxurious and empty room, only Gray Gentleman's back could be seen.

"190,000, did Bai Ye attack some fortress?"

Gray Gentleman seemed to be deep in thought, because he felt that what he was playing with Su Xiao was no longer a "game." His side was a "strategy game," while the other side was a "war game."

It was as if a string had appeared in Gray Gentleman's brain. These 190,000 War Merit points had already made this string taut. As for how many War Merit points would make this string in Gray Gentleman's brain snap, it was not yet clear.

Lihui City, Alliance Council Hall, inside the council chamber on the fourth floor.

A circular council table was located in the center of the room, and there was a Canglong sculpture in the middle of the circular council table. Around the council table sat six figures. They were all somewhat translucent phantoms, reflected by spell formations.

The Duoyin King, the Elf Queen, the Extreme Ice Lord, the Dwarf King, the Barbarian Priest, and the Alien Elder were all seated.

These six were the highest leaders of the Six-Race Alliance, among whom the Duoyin King was vaguely the head, after all, the Duoyin Empire was the most prosperous.

"Summoning me so urgently, what is the big deal? Is there another celebration in Duoyin?"

The Dwarf King spoke, his face full of black sideburns, and in his words, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the Duoyin Empire's dominance.

"Could it also be that the Duoyin King has a new heir?"

The Barbarian Priest's voice was hoarse, but somewhat sarcastic. Among the Six-Race Alliance, the most miserable was the Barbarian tribe; not only was their territory the smallest, but they were also often fooled by Duoyin merchants.

"Silence."

The Extreme Ice Lord, who was covered in armor, spoke. Cold air seemed to be rising around him. Even being stared at by him would make one feel cold. It was said that no one had ever seen his true appearance under his head armor.

"Summoning everyone this time is for an important matter."

The Duoyin King spoke. Although he was old, his aura did not have a sense of decay. His voice was not high, but it gave people a feeling of saying one thing and meaning another, as if no one could disobey him.

The Duoyin King was not the kind of aggressive king, but those who disobeyed him did not end well. He had once voluntarily ceded territory to the Extreme Ice Lord and the Elf Queen, but the result was that these two sides were almost assimilated.

If it weren't for the Extreme Ice Lord and the Elf Queen being decisive enough, their tribes would have already become appendages of the Duoyin Empire.

What was even more terrifying was that after this happened, the Extreme Ice Lord and the Elf Queen still couldn't turn against him, because the Duoyin King didn't do anything else, just marriage.

The Duoyin King's heirs were none of them pushovers. They seemed to be sons-in-law or married out, but in fact, they turned that side upside down, with internal mutual suspicion, and there was almost a coup in the North.

"Yan Valley Fortress... has fallen."

The Elf Queen spoke, her tone somewhat cold.

"Those beasts can take down Yan Valley Fortress?"

The Dwarf King was full of surprise. Of course, he understood the current situation of the Chaos Legion.

"Number of casualties."

The Extreme Ice Lord was obviously more reliable. His thought was that if the Elf tribe's casualties were less than half, they should immediately counterattack. The fortress falling was mostly because it was forcibly taken down. If they rushed from the back gate of the fortress, there was still a chance to retreat.

"All warriors died in Yan Valley Fortress."

Just as the Elf Queen's words fell, the council chamber became quiet.

"Was it done by Great Lord Arcadia? It's unlikely he would leave Black Melt City."

The Dwarf King's expression became serious. A fortress being almost slaughtered empty—this kind of thing hadn't happened for a long time.

"It is Kukulin Bai Ye. He has... returned."

"Say that again? Who?!"

Both the Dwarf King and the Barbarian Priest stood up, staring fixedly at the Elf Queen. Among them, the Dwarf King's reaction was the most intense, and the muscles on his face were twitching.

The Extreme Ice Lord on the side remained silent throughout, but his fists were already clenched to the point of clicking.

"Don't be nervous. The current Chaos Legion can no longer threaten us. What we should really worry about is what is inside Chimney Mountain."

The Elf Queen glanced at the Dwarf King, and the council chamber fell into silence again.

Inside the breached Yan Valley Fortress, wisps of black smoke rose, and the cleanup work of the battle was basically completed.

Su Xiao stood on the cracked city wall. Amu had already arrived in the North and successfully rendezvoused with Benny. It was Benny who sent the message earlier, which was why Su Xiao had Amu rush to the North.

Su Xiao's next stop was to go to the North. At the moment, his own troop strength was too small, so he had to make a trip to the North to seek reinforcements there.

But before that, a difficult problem was placed before Su Xiao: there was too much food in Yan Valley Fortress, so much that it was difficult to transport.

After checking the material list counted by Baja, Su Xiao decided that from then on, he would only give the orc soldiers meat to eat. Only when they had strength could they fight winning battles. The excess food could be sent back to Black Melt City; that side was almost crying out for food.
