Chapter 3383: Aggressive Entry (Bonus chapter for Golden Alliance member Hu Zhong Ri Yue, Xiu Li Qian Kun.) (Revised)

Fortress top floor, inside the command center.

The Priestess, Hausman, and the Head Chef stood side by side.

Within their own faction, Su Xiao was at the top of the pyramid. Bubu Wang, Am, Baja, and Beni had authority within this system, but they were not included in the "pyramid" itself.

Su Xiao was at the very top of the pyramid, and below him were Hausman, the Priestess, and the Head Chef.

Hausman was in charge of combat, field resource gathering, and so on; he was the commander and vanguard who led troops into battle.

The Priestess was in charge of housing the wounded, mining underground veins, and managing the active ore reserves. Simply put, she was the god of wealth for everyone else in the faction (Su Xiao's personal accountant).

The Head Chef managed meals, the subsequent processing and handling of field resources, the management of food and grain reserves, and the daily cleaning of the fortress. Additionally, the dozens of public bathhouses were also managed by her subordinates.

Although Su Xiao hadn't appointed many officers, decentralization was important; he couldn't do everything himself. Currently, the residential area behind the fortress had 170,000 wild boar warriors. Counting the dwarf boars, female pig-headed people, and others, there was a population of over 200,000.

If Su Xiao had to manage it all himself, he wouldn't have time for anything else; the miscellaneous tasks alone would be enough to keep him busy.

Pushing these matters to one person to arrange and letting them develop subordinates seemed good, but it was actually very dangerous.

Why did Su Xiao reuse the Priestess? The fact that she could walk out of the Evolution Nest was one reason.

After a period of observation, Su Xiao discovered that the Priestess was very kind. She was different from the iron-blooded Hausman and the tomboyish Head Chef. Her conflict with the Head Chef was the greatest, and her relationship with Hausman was not hostile, but they weren't friends either.

This was good. Below the top of the power pyramid were Hausman, the Priestess, and the Head Chef. If the three of them were on good terms, as close as family, Su Xiao would immediately dispose of either the Priestess or the Head Chef.

Mercy does not command troops. If the three giants under his command were too close, they would have the combined ability to incite a large-scale mutiny.

Su Xiao could suppress it, but after the suppression, his side would inevitably suffer a great loss of vitality. It would be good enough to stabilize things then; if they went to war with the enemy, they would be beaten to the point of losing their armor in minutes.

The current situation was the best. Hausman was brought up by Su Xiao from the beginning, so he was reliable. The relatively soft Priestess and the Head Chef didn't see eye to eye. It was said that the tomboyish Head Chef once said to the Priestess: "Bah! You must have offered your flesh to get close to our Lord."

At the time, Steel Tooth, who was passing by, didn't even dare to raise his head and quickened his pace to walk away. He told Hausman about it afterward. Hausman estimated that this was not a small matter, so he came to report it to Su Xiao.

The Head Chef's toughness was unquestionable. Once, she held a large ladle and beat a wild boar warrior who was acting wild in the kitchen until he was covered in bumps.

In the past, when Dorothy went to the kitchen to steal food, the one she feared most was the Head Chef. Once, Dorothy was so scared by the Head Chef that she hid in the freezer for a day and only dared to come out and slip away at night.

Whether any problems would arise in the future depended on Hausman, the Priestess, and the Head Chef themselves. In the near future, there would definitely be no problems. For Su Xiao, that was enough.

Su Xiao sat behind the long table, looking at the three people opposite him and the "Sun Ring" placed on the table. He created the "Sun Ring" not only to collect faith power but also to test whether the wild boar warriors were as easy to command as before after having faith.

The thing Su Xiao was worried about didn't happen; the "Sun Ring" being delivered already represented many things.

Su Xiao picked up the "Sun Ring" on the table. Hausman, standing opposite, looked as usual. The Priestess looked slightly nervous. The Head Chef picked her nose; in terms of faith in the sun, she was a bit of a follower. Many people believed in it, and she thought, well, she would believe in it too.

"Don't worry about it breaking."

Su Xiao looked at the Priestess, who lowered her head slightly.

"I made this; it's very sturdy. You can call it the Sun Ring, or you can treat it as Tufu's relic."

After Su Xiao finished speaking, he stood the "Sun Ring" in his hand on the table. Hearing his words, Hausman had no reaction; he had known from the beginning where the sun faith came from.

The Head Chef was still picking her nose. Inadvertently, she curled her index finger and flicked it at the Priestess beside her.

Seeing this, Su Xiao frowned. He didn't care about the conflict between the two, but the Head Chef's behavior made him worry about food hygiene.

"Go back to the logistics department and wash your hands, or just chop them off."

"I'll wash my hands when I go back, I definitely will."

The Head Chef lowered her head slightly. As for the fact that the "Sun Ring" was made by Su Xiao, she didn't care at all.

"I understand, Lord. We are gathered here; it is freedom, and it is war. Everything has a price. Compared to dying on the territory of the clans, I would rather be buried here."

The Priestess pressed one hand to her chest, implicitly indicating that she would not attempt to develop theocracy.

This was what Su Xiao wanted to see. Faith could exist, but theocracy could not—not even a little bit. That aspect was more troublesome than a feudal hereditary system. Now Su Xiao could completely suppress it, so he had to do it once and for all to avoid any trouble later. The high-level members of the pyramid needed to know part of the truth, while the wild boar warriors could believe completely.

"Very good, you may go down."

Su Xiao leaned back in his seat. Everything was on the right track. Tomorrow or the day after, he could consider letting the Evolution Nest undergo its third upgrade.

After completing the post-war reorganization, Su Xiao sent out 160,000 wild boar warriors to hunt in the plains area and hunt down enemy contractors.

The mines under the fortress became busy again. Batches of active ore blanks were thrown into the crusher and converted by the fortress into active ore with a purity that could be circulated.

At 6:00 that evening, the dim sunset hung on the horizon, in a sheltered spot behind a dirt slope in the southeast direction of the War Zone - Great Plains.

The 52 surviving enemy contractors were all here, including Saint Poetry. Based on the contractors' judgment, they could all think that if Saint Poetry had really defected and taken action, she would have been executed by now. The previous change must have been due to the enemy's abilities or equipment.

"Everyone, we need to discuss this at length. Don't give up; we haven't completely lost our chance yet."

"Right, we're not dead yet. If we're not dead, it doesn't count as a defeat."

"If we can leave the war zone, we have a chance. Those wild boar warriors look very much like they evolved from pig-headed people. Even if they didn't, the clans wouldn't allow such a force in the border area. When the time comes, we will unite with the clans, and it will be a sure victory."

"What you're saying makes sense, but it's like farting. If we can leave the war zone, won't they just move to another place to develop?"

The contractors discussed among themselves. Saint Poetry and Orandi remained silent. The former was slightly autistic, and the latter hadn't come up with a countermeasure.

Just as the contractors were discussing, they vaguely heard a roaring sound from afar. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw countless wild boar warriors rushing over from afar, mixed with a few heavy tanks.

"Retreat!"

Orandi got up and fled, and the others did the same. They couldn't even beat the 700+ contractors before; now that there were only 50+ left, how could they possibly win?

The escape journey of Saint Poetry, the Heaven Ghost brothers, Light Bath, Orandi, Druid, Xiao Pei, and others officially began.

The wild boar warriors indeed didn't have their speed, but they could chase slowly. The 160,000 wild boar warriors were divided into two groups: 80,000 to hunt down the contractors, and the others to hunt, rotating with each other.

The Great Plains that night were extremely lively. Although Saint Poetry, Orandi, and others could easily escape, it was not simple to hide their tracks while dozens of people were fleeing. Moreover, the war zone was only so big, and there were too many enemies.

At noon the next day, the contractors, who hadn't slept all night, were running under the scorching sun. Behind them were the wild boar warriors who had just changed shifts. They were all full of energy, chasing them desperately.

The night of the second day was still a day of fleeing.

The morning of the third day changed the program. The wild boar warriors tried to surround the contractors, but they were cleaned up. As long as the contractors didn't get hot-headed and fight the wild boar warriors, the possibility of being caught was very low. If they were surrounded and didn't have space-type life-saving items, they would definitely die.

The morning of the fourth day since the offensive and defensive battle began, which was the 71st hour after the war started.

The Great Plains returned to their usual quiet. For some reason, the wild boar warriors withdrew.

A group of contractors who looked like they had joined the scavenger faction sat around a campfire. It had been three days, and they could finally eat something hot.

"Those bastards from Apocalypse Paradise, don't let me catch an opportunity."

A disheveled man held a metal cup and took a sip of the hot water inside. Nearby, Orandi lay on the ground. Looking at his eyes, he was not in a good mood.

Saint Poetry, sitting by the fire, had bright eyes. She had decided that as long as there was even a slight chance, she would bury the contractors from Apocalypse Paradise.

Why did the wild boar warriors stop hunting down the enemy contractors? The reason was that there was only one hour left until the world coordinate was generated, and they had to return to the base camp to set up a defensive line.

At the location of their own base camp fortress, Su Xiao was not in the command center; he was standing on top of the fortress waiting.

Time passed second by second. He took out a timer and glanced at it; there were five minutes left to start.

【Hint: Changing the faction where the hunter is located.】

【Current Faction: Apocalypse Paradise.】

【About to transfer to Faction: Reincarnation Paradise.】

【Applying for notarization...】

【Hint (Tree of the Void): World contention is in progress; this application has been rejected.】

【Hint (Reincarnation Paradise): The hunter needs to apply for notarization by himself.】

"Apply for notarization."

Just as Su Xiao spoke, the hint from the Tree of the Void appeared.

【Hint (Tree of the Void): Some Qiyuezhe, do you apply for this notarization? If you apply, it will bring about a direct change in faction.】

Su Xiao chose yes. His disguised identity was in the Apocalypse Paradise faction, but from beginning to end, his brand was still the hunter brand.

【Hint (Tree of the Void): You have chosen to apply for notarization.】

【Hint (Tree of the Void): Your faction has changed; you have become a contractor of Reincarnation Paradise.】

【Hint (Tree of the Void): You have been promoted to a hunter of Reincarnation Paradise; information is synchronizing...】

【Hint (Tree of the Void): Error detected; suspected hunter has intrusion behavior.】

【Detected that you have been warned multiple times.】

【Based on this intrusion behavior, Hunter Kuku Lin Bai Ye will be severely punished...】

【Punishment interrupted; according to the initial regulations, this type of punishment can be offset by consuming space-time power.】

【Reincarnation Paradise has consumed 7453 ounces of space-time power.】

【Re-judging and checking...】

【Check completed; Hunter, you entered this world by intrusion. Current Faction: Reincarnation Paradise.】

【Reincarnation Paradise is not qualified to participate in this world contention.】

【Detected that the hunter has obtained ownership of the World Core and is about to successfully set up the world coordinate. Contribution to the formation of this world coordinate is being determined.】

【Contribution of Reincarnation Paradise hunter: 99.49%.】

【Contribution of Apocalypse Paradise contractor/battle angel: 0.51%.】

【The contribution gap is too wide; re-judging...】

【Because the hunter's contribution to the composition of this world coordinate is too high, Reincarnation Paradise will intervene in the battlefield as a third-party system, using your brand as a relay.】

【Reincarnation Paradise has detached from the third-party system.】

【Warning: Reincarnation Paradise has intervened in this world contention.】

【The world coordinate has been composed by 99.97%. Due to the change of the defensive side, the coordinate will be regenerated.】

【Detected that there is no essential change in the defensive side (it is still the Reincarnation Paradise hunter), this notarization will be balanced by changing the characteristics of the world coordinate.】

【Current world coordinate attribute: Reincarnation Paradise.】

【The world coordinate will form in 10 seconds.】

【After the world coordinate is formed, it will enter the contention stage of "Dark Mist," which is the only way to perfect the "World Core" of this world.】

A large number of hints appeared, and after this, there was one last announcement.

【Announcement (Tree of the Void): Reincarnation Paradise has joined this world contention.】

At the same time this announcement appeared, Su Xiao pointed the signal gun in his hand to the sky and pulled the trigger. A signal flare flew straight into the high altitude.

Bang!

The signal flare exploded, and a huge ф mark appeared in the sky. That blood-red mark could be seen clearly even from a hundred kilometers away, as long as one's eyesight was good enough.

Blood-colored lightning streaked behind the dark clouds, and a super-giant vortex made of dark clouds slowly stirred in the sky. At the very bottom of the center of the vortex was their own base camp.

On the east side of the Great Plains, by a campfire, the contractors from Saint Light Paradise and Watcher Paradise, who had just rested for a while, all stood up and looked at the sky in the distance.

Among them, Xiao Pei's eyes were full of fear, his pupils constricted to the limit. He instinctively retreated, and as a result, he sat on the ground on his butt. Pairs of blood-red eyes emerged in his mind, as well as experiences that could not be reproduced even in nightmares.

That time, they were clearly about to win, but they were almost wiped out by four Reincarnation Paradise contractors, and there was that crazy woman who took out his intestines to play with.

"So... it was like this."

Saint Poetry's face was extremely ugly. She had felt something was wrong before, a sense of dissonance, but now, everything made sense. If those were contractors from Reincarnation Paradise, everything happening now was normal. No one knew what a madman would do.

Compared to Saint Poetry and Orandi's side, on the inner side of the Great Plains, many contractors from Apocalypse Paradise were also looking at the ф mark in the sky in the distance. Added to the hints that had just appeared, they certainly knew what was going on, and many of them widened their eyes.

They had already laid flat, just waiting to lie down and win, but just as they were about to win, they were kicked awake. This made Hao Mei, Lu Di, and others look like they had seen a ghost, their mentality collapsing.

"We were told there was no Reincarnation Paradise this time. What kind of operation is entering halfway?"

Hao Mei muttered to herself. Before, the happiness came too suddenly, and she even suspected it was fake. That teammate was really too top-notch. Now it seemed that this sudden happiness was indeed fake.
