Chapter 47: Lin Chuan, the Man with a Bounty on His Hand
"What's going on?"
"That's not right."
"My caravan was clearly set to search for trade routes in the dark, dense forest."
"They did not go to the orc plains outside."
"How did we get attacked so suddenly?"
Lin Chuan opened the map of the Lord System to find the location of the attack.
It's definitely inside the dark, dense forest.
Moreover, it's not just the outer perimeter; it has penetrated deep into the dark, dense forest.
Normally speaking.
There are lords on the outskirts of the dense forest, so the orcs cannot easily venture deep inside.
Could something have happened inside the Dark Forest?
Lin Chuan opened the Lord System, preparing to check the messages.
at this time.
Several pop-up message boxes appeared in the private chat channel.
"Lin Chuan, the orcs have invaded. Can you send troops to help the World Alliance?"
This is from Zhang Wenyuan, and the date is still a few hours ago.
After that message, there was no further information.
Next, I clicked on Wei Shen.
"Brother Lin, please take me in! The orcs have invaded, and I have nowhere else to go. Could I stay near your territory?"
It was indeed an orc invasion.
How could it be so fast?
Lin Chuan did not reply to Wei Shen's message.
When things are unclear, it is still necessary to observe.
The third one comes from Ma Yan.
"Lin Chuan, be careful. Don't trust anyone. The orcs have invaded, and many lords have defected to them. They're using all sorts of methods to find out the lords' coordinates. Once they're exposed, the orcs will attack immediately."
"There is a lord named Liu Yifu. I don't know if he has a grudge against you, but he has been trying to find out the coordinates of your territory. Be careful. My territory has been relocated and entered the depths of the dense forest. I won't be coming out for a while, so you must be careful."
This time, Lin Chuan received more detailed information.
"Yu Yifu?"
Lin Chuan frowned, having no recollection of this person.
However, after seeing the blacklist, I remembered who it was.
"It's this clown."
Then open the fourth message.
It comes from the Book of Changes (I Ching).
"The orcs have invaded, the World Alliance has disbanded, Zhang Wenyuan has led his men to flee into the depths of the forest, and some lords have chosen to surrender and are currently at the World Alliance's base. Some of my friends and I neither want to leave nor surrender, so we have chosen to continue the resistance. Lin Chuan, you have been targeted for execution by Liu Yifu, so why don't you lead us in the resistance? We are all prepared to die in battle."
"They've disbanded!"
Lin Chuan was somewhat surprised.
How long has it been established?
And Zhang Wenyuan, he's so useless.
As the leader of the alliance, he failed to unite the forces of the World Alliance at a crucial moment.
He turned around and ran away.
This kind of person should be the leader of the alliance~
He used to talk so arrogantly.
Now it seems he was just a good-for-nothing.
"The true heroes of chaotic times have probably yet to emerge."
"These capable people in peacetime seemed to be able to control the situation in the early stages, but now it seems that most of them still retain the mindset from when they were on Earth."
"Only after experiencing the tragic lessons of another world can true heroes be selected."
However, Lin Chuan had no interest in any of these.
surrender.
He won't do it.
This is a testing ground for civilization; surrender means the destruction of civilization.
There's no going back.
Run away.
The foundation has been laid; where can one run to?
They ran away today, does that mean the orcs won't chase them?
They escaped, and everything started anew. When the orcs chased after them again, they died even faster.
Then the only option is to fight!
A single punch can prevent a hundred more.
"We can't just attack blindly!"
"We must leverage our own strengths."
Lin Chuan opened the map and found his location.
"Located on the edge, in a valley."
"The location is well-hidden, and the orcs won't be able to find me for a short time."
"And at present, the orcs' main strength will still be focused on the remnants of the World Alliance."
"Support some of the lords who continue to resist as allies to help draw enemy fire."
"We will use our cavalry to probe and lure them in, then concentrate our forces to fight a decisive battle."
After having this idea, Lin Chuan contacted Zhou Yi.
A batch of supplies was provided to the other party.
"I will no longer be your leader."
"Choose one of yourselves, and you will resist head-on."
"I will provide you with some support."
"The rest is up to you."
"However, I suggest that you don't engage in a fight to the death recklessly. Preserving yourself and eliminating more orcs is the right thing to do."
After the message was sent.
Zhou Yi quickly made contact with the other lords.
Some people, upon seeing the news, thought Lin Chuan was scared.
"I didn't expect this guy to be such a coward."
"I really misjudged him."
"Hmph, I never expected that the strongest lords of our Darkwood are all cowardly good-for-nothings."
"Phew, so this is the heavens' way of destroying my Dark Forest."
Meanwhile, several other lords spoke up.
"At least Lin Chuan did not surrender and agreed to provide us with support."
"Not bad, I checked the supplies just now, there are as many as 3000 million gold coins."
"With these gold coins, we can amass a large army and wage a fierce battle."
"Having resources to support us is enough."
"Since Lin Chuan is unwilling to be the leader, then we will choose one ourselves."
"Zhou Yi, you're the one."
After discussion, the resistance fighters reached a consensus.
They chose the I Ching to form a new alliance among themselves.
They formed a new alliance, the Avengers.
They began planning a counterattack against the orcs.
......
at the same time.
Inside the headquarters of the World Alliance.
Surrounded by the crowd, Liu Yifu stepped into the alliance's headquarters.
He ascended to the throne of the alliance leader.
Standing beside him were orc warriors and priests.
Further down stood the surrendered lords whom Liu Yifu had won over.
At the very bottom are the lords who surrendered to the World Alliance.
Liu Yifu was overjoyed.
His eyes were full of mockery.
"Previously, your Tianxia Alliance thought I wasn't strong enough."
"They refused to let me join."
"So now, tell me, whose throne is this?"
Immediately, a guild leader stepped forward.
"Alliance Leader Liu, Zhang Wenyuan was blind to your greatness before."
"We all agree to your joining."
"Look, Zhang Wenyuan has run away now."
"I think you should be the leader of the Alliance of Heaven."
"Hahaha."
Liu Yifu let out a hearty laugh.
"certainly."
"From this moment forward, this place belongs to Liu Yifu."
"Zhang Rui!"
"You are the acting leader of the alliance, in charge of the entire alliance."
"Immediately consolidate the alliance's strength and launch a siege against all the Darkwood lords."
"Kill all lords who refuse to surrender!"
"In addition, increase the bounty on Lin Chuan, find the lord at Lin Chuan's coordinates, and grant the orcs the status of a third-class believer."
"Yes, Alliance Leader Liu."
The reason why Liu Yifu did not personally assume the role of leader was because he was no longer a lord.
They completely surrendered to the orcs.
The lords, led by Zhang Rui, were specifically raised to manage the lords of Blue Star.
They were overdoing it, waiting until the Blue Star Lords were completely wiped out.
These people would also abandon their lord status and become followers of the Beast God.
As for what the orcs were doing at that time.
Their legion left the valley.
In another region, the lords of other civilizations were discovered.
The orc chieftain led his legion to conquer that place.
In fact, throughout the entire Dark Forest.
The orcs left behind only 10,000 elite infantry; the rest were all traitors to the Blue Star civilization.
But nobody knew about this.
Most of the Blue Star lords surrendered because of fear!
Living in peacetime, they have not yet fully transformed their identities.
This orc crisis is a selection process.
Those who adapt survive, while those who don't perish.
.....
Following the order issued by Liu Yifu.
The surrendered lords' servants began to attack indiscriminately in the forest.
The news quickly reached Lin Chuan's side.
"Increase the reward."
"Third-class believer status."
"This guy named Liu Yifu is really persistent."
At this moment, Lin Chuan was beside him.
They have already assembled their elite cavalry.
The number is 500, all under the command of Daenerys.
And not far away.
It is a base under construction.
Liu Yifu wanted to capture all the lords of Blue Star in one fell swoop.
He ordered the use of a temporary outpost to seal off the entire forest.
Compress the living space of lords.
Upon discovering this, Lin Chuan immediately assembled his forces and destroyed these strongholds.
"Your Lordship"
"Current intelligence gathered."
"The stronghold is mainly staffed with militia members, numbering around 200."
"Let's do it."
"Destroy all strongholds within a 300-kilometer radius of this location."
"Yes, Your Lordship."
