Chapter 3376

Sun Fortress, inside the first floor.

Su Xiao closed the task list. He had already completed the first ring of the main task. This task was particularly simple. As long as you didn't lie down every day and do nothing, it would be completed automatically after 8 days.

【Main Task: First Ring (Completed).】

【You obtained Tree-Born Page x1.】

【You obtained Space-Time Power (100 ounces).】

【You obtained 4 points of True Attribute Points.】

【Main Task Second Ring cannot be activated (expected not to be activated).】

【At a suitable time, this main task will be changed to a war task, activation time to be determined.】

【The prerequisites for activating the war task are: 1. Ensure the existing defense line is not breached, 2. Or after the fortress is breached, no party successfully sets world coordinates within 5 natural days. Reaching one of the two conditions satisfies the prerequisites for activating the war task.】

The ticket Su Xiao spent to enter this world had been earned back, and he earned 4 points of True Attribute Points. To be precise, the Tree-Born Page he obtained was the one he handed in before; the broken edges were the same.

The current situation was: just guard the fortress. Su Xiao had already guessed roughly when the subsequent tasks would be activated.

At this time, the communicator in his bosom rang. He took it out and looked at it, and he basically understood the situation.

Saintess and Orandi's side had initially believed that the defensive force inside the Sun Fortress was only one person. In their speculation, Su Xiao was not guarding the World Core alone but was using this opportunity and geographical advantage to kill more enemy Qiyuezhe to earn battle merits.

The Qiyuezhe transmitted to this world by Holy Light Paradise and Watcher Paradise this time added up to more than 700, while Apocalypse Paradise had 673. From this aspect, one could see the numerical advantage.

If Reincarnation Paradise participated this time, at most they would send more than 100 people. Death Paradise would send at most 200 people. Holy Domain Paradise would be better, around 260 to 300 people.

Su Xiao facing more than 700 Tier 8 Qiyuezhe alone was no different from seeking death. So it was normal for Saintess and Orandi to speculate that Su Xiao was using this opportunity to kill enemies and earn battle merits.

How did Su Xiao get this information? This had to be credited to Guang Mu. The contract Guang Mu signed was that when Su Xiao needed it, she had to provide a piece of key information.

It wasn't that Su Xiao didn't want to use Guang Mu more times. As a Tier 8 poison milk, she could endure doing one thing for Su Xiao, who was in the enemy camp, but if it was signed in the contract to be a mole all the time, Guang Mu would immediately turn against him.

How to convey information once and not be forcibly executed, Guang Mu had already racked her brains. If Su Xiao asked for more times, she would definitely harden her heart and fight Su Xiao to the death.

Guang Mu successfully conveyed the information. Su Xiao didn't know the situation on the other side. In short, the contract with the other party was half-lifted.

As long as the other party didn't leak the contract itself and the process of signing the contract, this contract had no other effects. Currently, it was like this. As for whether there was any "aftereffect," it depended on whether there was a chance to meet again in other worlds in the future.

Su Xiao looked at the time. The defense battle would officially start in three hours. By that time, the World Core would begin to form. After holding on for three days, the world coordinates would be completely formed.

Within the 20-plus hours of obtaining the World Core, their own forces stopped developing, and mining also stopped, just to successfully surround the enemy.

Is this worth it? The answer is yes. After the battle broke out, reducing the number of deaths and injuries of Wild Boar Warriors meant saving resources. In the final analysis, mining mineral resources was to develop more Wild Boar Warriors and achieve the goal with this.

Su Xiao, who was leaning on the iron chair for a nap, opened his eyes. He faintly sensed that someone had arrived nearby. Due to the opponent's strong concealment ability, he couldn't lock onto the opponent's position.

Su Xiao was not omnipotent. In terms of perception, close-range perception, he was stronger than perception-types. After exceeding a perception circle with a diameter of more than ten meters, cough~, perception... was okay.

After perceiving for a while, Su Xiao found that the enemy had retreated and didn't approach the fortress. Just at this moment, Reincarnation Paradise's notification appeared.

【Notification: Detected that the Hunter has a large number of soldier-type units, among which more than 98% of the soldier-type units have the same faith.】

【Faith Trait: Sun.】

【Check if there is a sect that believes in the Sun in this world.】

【Check completed. There is no sect that believes in the Sun in this world, and the way your soldier-type units believe in the Sun is unique from their hearts, which is different from other Sun-system sects.】

【This is a special event. You can choose one of the following rewards.】

1. Sun Crown (Special Equipment).

2. Archbishop Robe (Special Equipment: Sun Trait).

3. Sun Lord (★★★★ Title, needs to be chosen after the number of Wild Boar Warriors exceeds 300,000).

Seeing these notifications, Su Xiao was quite surprised. He hadn't encountered similar things before. In a world without a Sun-system sect, founding a force that believes in the Sun could actually trigger this kind of reward.

He previously injected the soul blood of Sun Warriors into the Evolution Nest, the purpose was only to let the Wild Boar Warriors absorb some Sun Power, and then let them believe in the Sun, so that faith could overcome their slavery to the Demi-humans.

Facts proved that this was indeed feasible. The Wild Boar Warriors not only overcame slavery, but it was completely eliminated.

In the current concepts of the Wild Boar Warriors, believing in the Sun made them fearless. Everything in the past seemed to have passed for several years. They were free beasts protected by the Sun.

There was no time limit for choosing the three rewards. 【Sun Crown】, 【Archbishop Robe】, 【Sun Lord (Four-Star Title)】, choose one of the three.

What the three represent was already very obvious. 【Sun Crown】 represents royal power. After choosing this reward, it is to wear it and rule the pig-headed people in the way of royal power.

Choosing 【Archbishop Robe】 is to rule the pig-headed people in the way of theocracy.

The final 【Sun Lord (Four-Star Title)】, Su Xiao was familiar with this title name. He estimated that this choice was to rule the Wild Boar Warriors in the way of war.

Royal power, theocracy, war—choose one of the three ways of ruling. In this way, it was clear.

Royal power and theocracy were directly abandoned. The former requires being able to trick, the latter is even better at tricking. In terms of ruling, Su Xiao didn't really need the assistance of objects. In terms of collective bonuses, he had the War Lord title.

Su Xiao tried to check the attributes of the 【Sun Lord】 title. Although he had to wait until the Wild Boar Warriors reached 300,000 to obtain this title, he could check the attributes of this title in advance.

【Sun Lord】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: ★★★★

Category: Title: Rare

Title Effect 1: Sun Protection (Passive). All elite units under the Hunter will trigger the following buff effects when the number reaches 30, 50, and 100.

1. All True Attributes +5 (including Luck Attribute, 30 elite units can trigger this effect).

2. When attacking, it comes with a mild "Fire Burn" effect. (50 elite units can trigger this effect).

3. Elite unit loyalty increased by 15 points (this is to forcibly "reverse" the subconscious cognition of elite units with Sun Power, 100 elite units can trigger this effect).

Equipment Effect 2: Faith Power: Sun (Passive). This title can not only be upgraded in star level through title synthesis but also can be upgraded in star level by absorbing Faith Power: Sun.

Introduction: Praise the Sun.

Price: Cannot be sold.

Seeing the effect of 【Sun Lord】, Su Xiao sincerely felt that this thing was much more powerful than it looked.

If 【War Lord】 is a god-level title for developing the legion flow and successfully exploding troops, then 【Sun Lord】 is reaching the same height as 【War Lord】 on another level.

【Sun Lord】 does not give bonuses to soldier-type units; it takes effect on elite units, following the elite route. The advantage is that it only needs 30 elite units to trigger the basic effect of this title, and after 100 elite units, the title effect is maxed out.

It is not possible to explode troops in all worlds, but in most worlds, it is still possible to gather 30 to 100 elite units.

Bonus 1 is to increase all attributes. Unlike War Lord, it can increase the Luck Attribute. Bonus 2 is Fire Burn, which Su Xiao had learned from the Sun Warriors. Bonus 3 is to forcibly increase the loyalty of elite units by 15 points.

In Su Xiao's view, Bonus 3 is the most powerful ability. The biggest drawback of the elite route is that the people under him have too many thoughts. If they are not careful, those dozens of subordinates will privately calculate, and the next morning they will rebel or defect.

With the Sun Lord title, this problem can be significantly improved. Sun Power washes away subconscious cognition. If there is still a betrayal situation, one should reflect on whether it is one's own problem or if the elite units recruited are too much of a "two-five boy" (traitor).

Besides these bonuses, the 【Sun Lord】 title also has the most unique point: it has a unique growth path and can be upgraded in star level by absorbing Faith Power: Sun.

The current 【Sun Lord】 is a four-star title. If it can reach seven stars, its bonuses will definitely have different characteristics from War Lord. One is used for legion flow, and the other is used for the elite route.

Previously in the Magic Sea World, Su Xiao really wanted to get a title that followed the elite flow. There were only hundreds of sailors on the Doom, and if it weren't for taking huge risks to get the Black Curse Crow from the old woman, otherwise, relying on the number of cursed people, it would never be possible to trigger War Lord.

Regarding Faith Power: Sun, Su Xiao now has two ways to obtain it. First is the Wild Boar Warriors. First, get a representative faith object, such as forging a "Sun Ring," and tell the Wild Boar Warriors that this is a medium for believing in the Sun.

After that, there is a high probability that one can collect the Faith Power generated by the Wild Boar Warriors with this "Sun Ring."

Secondly, Su Xiao can take over Faith Power from the Sun Sect in the Painting World. Previously in the real world, he had received this kind of output.

At the current stage, the share from the Painting World hasn't brought Su Xiao Soul Coin revenue yet, but Faith Power: Sun will soon be able to come in handy.

Having made up his mind, Su Xiao temporarily closed the reward list. To obtain 【Sun Lord】, he had to wait for the number of Wild Boar Warriors to exceed 300,000.

Time passed in waiting. Just at the moment the countdown returned to zero, the World Core floating beside Su Xiao flew straight upward, passed through several layers of ceilings, arrived at the General Command Room, and floated above the coordinate device. Several twisted white threads spread out and fixed on the World Core.

【Announcement (Void Tree): This World Contention War has officially begun!】

【The war zone is about to be blocked. Except for very special circumstances, or Qiyuezhe who have abandoned the war task, after the war zone is blocked, all participants located outside the war zone will be immediately executed!】

【The adjudicators of the three parties—Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise—have been transmitted outside the war zone. After all participants approach the edge of the war zone, they will receive a warning. Attempting to rush out of the war zone will be attacked by the adjudicators.】

【The location of the war zone in this world will be permanently lifted or temporarily lifted under two conditions: world coordinates have been generated, or generation is interrupted.】

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of announcements appeared one after another. Su Xiao checked them and closed them. There was no difference from before. He had seen announcements with the same content several times.

"You actually haven't left yet? The enemy is coming soon. Good luck."

An elderly Qiyuezhe from Apocalypse Paradise stood outside the main gate, making a gesture to leave.

A blood spear was constructed above Su Xiao, but he received a notification that the elderly Qiyuezhe was actually a neutral unit.

Qiyuezhe who become neutral units are rare. The melee is about to start, and Su Xiao had no mind to investigate this aspect. He would talk about it when he had time later.

The elderly Qiyuezhe outside the main gate left in a hurry, having a new definition of how fierce Su Xiao's style of doing things was.

The empty first floor of the fortress returned to quiet, but this quiet didn't last long before it was broken by the roaring sound coming from afar.

Boom!!

The fortress seemed to have been shelled, and the whole thing trembled. The outer armor layer withstood this test.

Su Xiao didn't care about this attack; this was just a probe. The enemy Qiyuezhe wouldn't easily attack the Sun Fortress.

In the situation where the enemy thinks they are sure to win, they will default to this semi-abandoned fortress as their own property and consider using this fortress as a defensive location later.

Defensive points are not chosen casually. Densely populated enemy areas or their surroundings cannot be used as war zones; the Void Tree will not notarize them.

Secondly, even if the plan unfolds and Wild Boar Warriors surround from all directions, the enemy Qiyuezhe will not try to destroy this fortress either. In that situation, this is a fortress they can hold. Are their brains pitted? Destroy this place.

So Su Xiao was certain that this attack was just a probe and there would be no follow-up. Furthermore, the enemy would choose a group of dozens or a hundred people with high strength to form an assault team to come into the fortress and wipe him out, while the remaining 600-plus Qiyuezhe would be outside, in case this was a trap set by the Apocalypse Paradise side Qiyuezhe.

Dense footsteps came from outside the fortress's main gate. Soon, a group of Qiyuezhe led by two people walked into the fortress's main gate.

The two people in the lead were Saintess and Orandi. Behind them were the trusted confidants in their respective groups, and further behind were the Qiyuezhe with high strength selected from more than 700 people. These people added up to form an assault team of over a hundred people.

Entering the fortress, Saintess looked around at the scene on the first floor of the fortress and soon locked her gaze on Su Xiao. Orandi beside her, as well as the Qiyuezhe behind them, were the same.

Xian Lulu had already left. Su Xiao alone, one blade, one iron chair—this seemed to be everything on the first floor of the fortress.

"Hey..."

A tough guy chewing a cigar was just about to speak. Orandi in front of him raised his hand, signaling him not to say meaningless trash talk. Asking himself, Orandi admitted that he didn't dare to guard the World Core alone in this situation.

"A bunch of cowards."

Su Xiao disappeared on the seat. The next instant, he was already standing on the energy thread several meters high diagonally above.

"What kind of fart are you talking about."

The cigar man cursed angrily. Orandi said in a low voice: "Shut up."

Saintess on the side frowned. She really rarely saw someone asking for a scolding. The words spoken by that Apocalypse Paradise Qiyuezhe were clearly saying that other Qiyuezhe on the Apocalypse Paradise side were cowards and didn't dare to come and guard.

"This friend, there is only one of you, why bother."

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Orandi and didn't speak.

"It's a pity for a person like you to die, but who told you not to be a Qiyuezhe of Watcher Paradise, so... die here."

Orandi said so much, actually he was probing. In case there was a trap, he would retreat immediately. Being able to fight to Tier 8, there were very few such iron-headed reckless men.

"It's a pity, you are surrounded by us."

After Saintess said this, she was about to order to act on the war channel. But she suddenly found that several messages appeared one after another on the war channel, all messages released by perception-types. The content was: discovered a large number of enemy units, the specific number... unknown.

This unknown number really made people panic in their hearts. The Qiyuezhe who saw this news all had their expressions change greatly.

"Holy crap, there's an ambush."

"I said it wouldn't be that simple."

"Kill this guy first, use this fortress as a defensive stronghold."

Rumble...

Saintess felt that the ground under her feet was shaking slightly, and this shaking feeling became more and more intense, as if in all directions in the distance, ten thousand troops were rushing over.

Saintess and Orandi both had their expressions change slightly. The Qiyuezhe behind them also knew that things were not good. Some cursed in a low voice, and some prepared for battle.

Saintess and Orandi looked at each other. This style of doing things, they both felt a bit familiar, very much like the style of Reincarnation Paradise!

This feeling made Saintess and Orandi both inexplicably familiar and frightened.

Like what Saintess said, Su Xiao was surrounded? Of course not. When the group of Qiyuezhe appeared, he had already sent a message to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was hiding on the top floor of the fortress, asking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to inject the awakening potion already prepared into the Sun Fortress.

The Sun Fortress at this time had already regained activity. Su Xiao wanted to have a chaotic battle with Saintess, Orandi, and others on the first floor? Not at all. The Sun Fortress was a T0-level fortress, and a T0-level fortress could be unfolded.

Su Xiao looked at the group of Qiyuezhe in front, secretly relying on the fortress core, quietly controlling the Evolution Nests in the second, third, and fourth floors of the fortress to split, first merging into the biological walls inside the fortress, and then controlling the entire Sun Fortress to bloom like a thick steel flower.

Click, click, click~

Sunlight came through from directly above. Everyone inside the fortress discovered the changes in the fortress. The entire Sun Fortress gradually unfolded like blooming. Don't forget, at this moment, hundreds of thousands of Wild Boar Warriors were rushing from all directions. When the fortress flattened out, the Qiyuezhe of the assault team would lose their defensive location and would be attacked from all sides.

The roaring sound around became louder and louder. With the unfolding of the Sun Fortress, the hundred-plus assault team Qiyuezhe inside the fortress all felt that their mentality had also cracked.
