Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Blood Omar died just like that!

The members and leaders of the Crimson Blood Tribe were both shocked and furious.

A high-ranking member of the Crimson Blood Tribe, possessing fifth-tier strength, roared, "Lei Jiu, what right do you have to do this? Even if Omar has problems, my Crimson Blood Tribe will judge and execute him. Openly killing my tribal chief is tantamount to declaring war on the Crimson Blood Tribe!"

The other Crimson Blood tribe warriors were also furious.

“Omar colluded with Eternal Night City, attempting to provoke a war and overthrow Thousand Lakes City. This is already too lenient for him.”

Lei Jiu was not afraid at all and instead retorted sarcastically, "I have reason to suspect that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked as well. There may be spies from Eternal Night City among the Crimson Blood Tribe. Who knows if you will turn around and protect them?"

He was an undercover agent planted by Meng Bai within the Allied Forces of Qianhu City.

Lei Jiu and his tribe had already pledged allegiance to Miracle City. This time, their decisive action in killing Omar was precisely to completely eliminate this threat, demonstrate their loyalty to Miracle City, and at the same time, disrupt the alliance's camp, presenting an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

He said this.

The leaders and warriors of the other tribes indeed became vigilant.

Although they had designs on Miracle City under Omar's instigation, Thousand Lakes City was ultimately their foundation and base. Omar's fall into joining Thousand Lakes City undoubtedly offended everyone.

"Elder Lei Jiu is right!"

"I believe the Crimson Blood Tribe has fallen!"

"Why don't we join forces and eliminate these traitors first!"

"..."

The leaders of the Crimson Blood Tribe were caught in a dilemma when faced with the hostile and even murderous gazes cast upon them by the crowd.

The clan chief was killed in front of everyone.

We can't just let it go like this, no matter what.

However, they lacked confidence in demanding an explanation.

"Bullshit!" a Crimson Blood leader quickly said, "We know nothing about what Omar did. The Crimson Blood tribe has always been the backbone of Thousand Lakes City. In history, we have made great contributions to Thousand Lakes City in many battles against Eternal Night City."

"Really? Who knows!"

"Then was then, and the present is now."

“Omar could never have done all this by himself; there are definitely more corrupt individuals lurking in the shadows!”

"Never mind all that!"

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

The various tribes have lost trust in the Crimson Blood Tribe.

Especially the small and medium-sized tribes that were forced to participate in the war by the Crimson Blood Tribe.

They already harbored resentment and anger towards the Crimson Blood Tribe, and now that several major tribes had stepped forward to lead the fight against them, they naturally chose to stand on the same side without hesitation.

"Brothers, for the sake of Thousand Lakes City and the Great Forest, let's first take control of the Crimson Blood Tribe!"

With a loud shout from Lei Jiu, everyone drew their weapons, and magical light flashed everywhere. The other nine tribes formed an encirclement around the Crimson Blood Tribe, and this war, which was originally aimed at Miracle City, was about to turn into an internal conflict.

The objective of disrupting the coalition forces has been achieved.

But a real fight must not break out at this point, otherwise it will be difficult to resolve.

Vesalos then stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, now is not the time for infighting. If what Omar said is true, Thousand Lakes City is in a very dangerous situation... The most urgent task is to go back and rescue them as soon as possible!"

Lei Jiu nodded: "That makes sense. The most urgent task is for the Second Elder to step forward and take charge of the overall situation!"

This coalition of forest tribes was originally formed by the strongest Crimson Blood tribe, but now that Omar has been killed and his corrupt and treacherous behavior has been confirmed, it is impossible for the tribes to trust the Crimson Blood tribe again.

Although Mengbai is not a local force and does not have its own tribe.

However, she had the support of several elders, including Vesalius and Artus, who were also the highest-ranking elders in name. With her leading the army and taking charge of the overall situation, the various factions would at least not dare to raise any objections!

"it is good!"

Meng Bai took over the coalition forces without hesitation.

“From now on, you must obey my commands. As for the Crimson Blood Tribe… I know you are definitely not satisfied, but this matter will not end here. Now is your chance to make amends!”

The leaders of the Crimson Blood Tribe exchanged glances.

They had no choice but to lay down their weapons, and one of them said in a deep voice, "We are willing to follow the Second Elder's orders!"

very good!

nailed it!
Meng Bai also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the two forces, which had been at loggerheads, joined forces.

A forest army of about 160,000 has been officially formed. Mengbai, Vesalos, and Artus breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was as the lord had expected. Now that they had such an army, it should be enough to deal with the dark army.

Under Meng Bai's command.

The forest army began its rapid return journey.

After about three or four hours, they arrived near Thousand Lakes City, where they could clearly feel intense energy fluctuations coming from the direction of Thousand Lakes City!

"not good!"

"Too late!"

"I sensed a strong aura of darkness!"

"The Dark Army has likely already arrived in Thousand Lakes City while we were away!"

"..."

Meng Bai frowned.

"The situation ahead is unclear. Everyone else, stay put and wait for orders. The elite troops from each unit will return to the city with me first!"

"Yes!"

Meng Bai unleashed a complex spatial spell, instantly summoning a magic gate in front of the army. This magic gate allowed people to travel hundreds of miles in an instant, arriving at Thousand Lakes City in the shortest possible time to understand the situation.

Mengbai, Visalos, Artus, and others were the first to lead their respective elite forces into the magic gate.

"let's go!"

Elders and tribal leaders such as Lei Jiu and Kuang Lie each selected an elite force, and eventually followed Meng Bai through the magic gate. In the end, less than five thousand people arrived at Thousand Lakes City first.

Pass through the magic door.

Thousand Lakes City is just around the corner.

Everyone looked terrified.

This massive forest city is now filled with the aura of darkness. All defensive formations and barriers are either not activated or have become ineffective. Hundreds of dark infernal dragons are circling in the sky, along with thousands of various flying monsters, launching an attack on the core area of ​​Thousand Lakes City and its important strongholds.

Every area of ​​Thousand Lakes City was engulfed in flames and thick smoke.

"hateful!"

"it is true!"

"That guy, Omar!"

"He deserves to die!"

"..."

Everyone who witnessed this scene was horrified.

The leaders of the Crimson Blood Tribe also looked extremely grim.

At this moment, an army of tens of thousands of dark elves, dark dwarves, dark orcs, dark giants and other types of troops has invaded Thousand Lakes City, including many terrifying beings of the fifth rank.

Although there are still 100,000 garrison troops in the city, most of the elite troops have been taken away, and the remaining garrison troops are too weak.

They were simply unable to withstand the overwhelming attack from the dark race.

"kill!"

"Protect the main city!"

"We must not let the Dark Ones succeed!"

"Damn it, why aren't the formations and barriers activated?!"

"..."

When Meng Bai led his elite troops to wipe out several groups of dark orcs and dark giants and stormed into the city, they soon discovered that the city was filled with twisted black tree roots.

These tree roots sprouted from the ground and wrapped around various buildings and main roads.

It was writhing like a menacing blood vessel.

It's chilling.

Although some people tried to burn the tree roots with magical flames, the flames were absorbed in an instant and could not cause any damage to these deformed tree roots.

at the same time.

Everyone also noticed.

Large, dark trees have appeared in various areas of Thousand Lakes City.

These trees are generally hundreds of meters tall with lush foliage. From the leaves to the trunk, they are all black, constantly emanating the aura of dark creatures. And among the branches of these trees, there are thousands, even tens of thousands of tree pupae.

Everyone can see it clearly.

One by one, the citizens and soldiers of Qianhu City.

After being captured by the black roots, they are sent to these large trees to become tree pupae hanging between the branches. Once they become tree pupae, their power is continuously absorbed by the trees.

Dozens and hundreds of black trees appeared in all directions of Thousand Lakes City.

These black trees have already captured at least a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand citizens of Thousand Lake City.

The power of these citizens of Thousand Lakes will become new nutrients for the Black Tree, eventually creating more vines and roots, thus capturing more citizens of Thousand Lakes. Coupled with attacks from the Dark Race's ground and air forces, the entire Thousand Lakes will soon fall.

of course.

If only.

That's not the worst of it.

"This is the power of the Grand Elder!"

Meng Bai recognized the origin of the black tree and its roots at a glance.

When they realized this, everyone was horrified.

The Grand Elder of Thousand Lakes City is named Mbawamu. He is a very ancient tree-man who has lived here for over five or six thousand years. In the age of elves, he was a symbol of wisdom and power.

When the Eternal Night Dragon King invaded the Great Forest, plunging all the forest tribes into a survival crisis, it was Mbawamu who established a sanctuary here, providing a place for these fleeing forest forces to take refuge. Over time, this led to the development of Thousand Lakes City.

It can be said.

The entire city of Thousand Lakes was built around Mbawamu.

This is why Mbawamu can become the eternal guardian of Thousand Lakes City, and his status is above any elder. After all, he is the oldest and most intelligent being in the great forest, and also the strongest force in Thousand Lakes City.

Mbawamu is of the sixth rank!
Only this being in the entire great forest could barely resist the Eternal Night Dragon King!
Over the years, Thousand Lakes City has encountered numerous crises, but it has always managed to overcome them successfully. The key figure in this success is none other than this sixth-order treant!

Judging from the current situation...

The Eternal Guardian Mbawamu has fallen.

This is the most disastrous and unacceptable outcome for Thousand Lakes City!

He roared furiously, "It seems that what Omar said is true. He not only betrayed the Eternal Night City long ago, but also secretly corrupted the Grand Elder, to the point that the Grand Elder has now completely fallen."

Lei Jiu: "Second Elder, what should we do?"

Meng Bai thought for a moment and said, "If even the Grand Elder falls into darkness, Thousand Lakes City cannot be defended. We should first try to relocate the population of each tribe to preserve their strength!"

"But Thousand Lakes City is gone."

Where else can we go?

"What power does this great forest possess that can withstand the eternal night?"

"..."

All departments were plunged into extreme despair and panic.

The reason why Thousand Lakes City can exist is because of the eternal guardian Mbawamu. Over thousands of years, he set up countless ancient formations, and it was these defenses that were able to stop the Eternal Night Dragon King for so long!
With these resources lost, and even the Grand Elder becoming an enemy, how could the various forest tribes possibly contend with the powerful forces of darkness?

"Who says there's nowhere to go?"

"There is at least one force still in the great forest!"

"Could it be that……"

"That's right!"

"Miracle City!"

"If there is any power that can turn the tide, it is only the Lord of Miracles. We will now lead our tribe and people to seek refuge in Miracle City!"

"This is the only chance!"

"..."

The feelings of people from all tribes and ethnic groups were complicated at the time.

Just hours before, they were preparing to attack Miracle City, but they were worried that the rise of Miracle City would affect the interests and rights of all races.

I didn't expect it.

Less than half a day.

The headquarters has been completely wiped out.

Now, let alone interests and rights, even survival is in question!

Under these circumstances, all the tribes had no choice but to seek refuge in Miracle City, begging the Miracle Lord to be magnanimous, forgive their actions, and provide shelter for their tribes and people.

Fortunately.

The only thing that the tribal chiefs and leaders could be thankful for was...

The war with Miracle City never actually began!
Otherwise, the situation today would probably be beyond repair!
Just as Meng Bai and the others were preparing to rescue and evacuate the citizens of Qianhu City, several powerful auras suddenly arrived nearby, and a powerful dark army appeared before them.

The leader was none other than the powerful warriors of Evernight City, led by the Dark Elf High Priestess Eirema.

Besides the dark elves, there was also a dark orc commander and a dark giant commander. Among them, Aerymar was a peak fifth-tier powerhouse, and the others were also rare combatants no weaker than late-stage fifth-tier warriors.
"You guys showed up here... Did Omar, that good-for-nothing, really fail after all?"

Eerima's gaze swept over the powerful figures of Thousand Lakes City, lingering for a moment on the elves led by Artus, but without any emotion, she simply said, "But it doesn't matter, the goal has been achieved anyway."

The orcish dark commander sneered, "You have no chance of winning now. Your only hope of survival is to submit to His Majesty and join the Chaos faction. Otherwise, you will simply disappear from this world!"

"Pah! Dream on!"

"Don't even think about making us submit!"

"Even if we fight to the last man, we will never accept the corruption of darkness!"

"..."

Several tribal chiefs and leaders began to hurl insults.

Because once transformed into a dark personality, one will be erased, thus completely losing oneself, becoming a slave to the chaotic will, a walking corpse war machine, what difference is there between that and death?
Therefore, they would never agree to submit to the forces of darkness.

Eirima said indifferently, "Hmph, if that's the case, then let's destroy Thousand Lakes City together!"

A war between the two sides is about to break out.

Although Meng Bai's elite force was strong, its numbers were too small.

Continuing to fight like this would definitely result in losses, but at this moment, something unexpected happened: countless missiles rained down from the sky and bombarded the dark army, instantly impacting the dark forces.

Hundreds of helicopters appeared on the outskirts of Thousand Lakes.

They were constantly launching missiles toward Thousand Lakes City, while hundreds of mechs, tanks, and at least 20,000 Scourge soldiers were rapidly storming into Thousand Lakes City under the cover of Miracle City's artillery fire.

"It's reinforcements from Miracle City!"

The tribal chiefs and leaders had not expected this.

When they were in despair, Miracle City came to their rescue.

"Boss Mengbai!" Higanbana appeared on the battlefield and shouted to Mengbai, "We can hold out for a while, you guys hurry up and retreat immediately!"

"Thank you!"

Meng Bai knew that this place was not a good place to stay.

The reinforcements arriving at this moment are all from the Scourge army of Miracle City.

This army cannot be completely destroyed, but it can buy time for the elite troops of Thousand Lakes City to retreat, giving them the opportunity to take more of their people with them, while also issuing evacuation orders to the surrounding tribes.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

The orc commander of Eternal Night City snorted coldly, raised a black greatsword with both hands, and gathered violent power on his body. He locked onto the retreating elites of Thousand Lakes City, preparing to attack with all his might to kill them.

Who would have guessed.

at this time.

A golden light flashed before my eyes.

The orc commander and the other two commanders sensed a threat when a tall, muscular, fragmented figure with red hair appeared before them, holding a half-destroyed stone hammer in his hand.

"what?"

The orc commander hadn't even reacted yet.

The stone hammer inlaid with golden runes of law in Wanshan Guhong's hand landed on him, and the golden magic rings shone brightly. This holy power of absolute order clearly had a strong restraining effect on the dark race.

The orc commander's battle aura was shattered, his armor was torn open, and he was blasted dozens of meters away by the violent force.

Wanshan Guhong appeared in the center of the battlefield in the form of "Golden Law Faladagang". He had not yet been promoted to a fifth-tier adventurer, but had temporarily fused with the power of a fifth-tier spirit through the Mercenary House and Qi Ji's methods.

of course.

There are risks in doing this.

If Wanshan Guhong were to die in battle.

This precious fifth-tier named spirit is now lost.

However, Miracle City had a contingency plan for this. As soon as Wanshan Guhong was in danger, Qi Ji would immediately use a summoning spell to recall him instantly, thus protecting this precious spirit from loss.

It's not just a lone wild goose amidst a sea of ​​mountains.

Many adventurers have used similar methods.

For example, the White Crane Hermit has now transformed into the state of the First King, Gravely.

Of course.

Apart from these temporary fifth orders.

Miracle City already has more than a dozen genuine Tier 5 units.

Most of these fifth-tier adventurers have not yet signed a contract with Miracle City. Normally, they would not be able to freely unleash their strength, but today is the darkest night, and all their power is unsuppressed, allowing them to reveal their full strength without any obstacles.

One by one, fifth-tier adventurers appeared on the battlefield.

This was an absolutely formidable force, and with the cover of Miracle City's powerful equipment, they managed to hold back the army led by the three Dark Commanders on the battlefield for a time.

"Is this the strength of Miracle City?"

"We actually dared to challenge Miracle City!"

"Now it seems that this idea was utterly foolish!"

"..."

Only now did the tribal leaders realize just how powerful Miracle City truly was. The 20,000-strong army that had appeared on the battlefield was merely a force composed of Miracle City adventurers.

The overall strength of this underground city has clearly far exceeded expectations!

Under the cover and rearguard action of the Scourge.

Meng Bai led the elite troops of Qianhu City to successfully withdraw from the battlefield. At the same time, he received a large number of refugees from Qianhu City and quickly issued a full evacuation order to all the major tribes of Qianhu City.

If this trend continues...

Although reclaiming Thousand Lakes City is now a pipe dream.

But at least it can preserve the majority of the population.

As for the citizens of Thousand Lakes City who failed to escape? The vast majority of them were hung on the Black Tree by the corrupted Elder to provide them with energy, so they will not die for at least a period of time, and theoretically there is still a possibility of rescue.

When faced with such a catastrophe.

This result is already quite good.

But just when everyone thought that way...

An even more powerful and terrifying pressure descended upon Thousand Lakes City.

When they felt this terrifying pressure that made the heavens and earth change color, both the fifth-tier powerhouses of Thousand Lakes City and the Cataclysmic Army fighting bloody battles on the front lines felt a shiver that came from the depths of their souls.

"what happened?"

"Why is there such a strong sense of oppression!"

"This seems to be the Dragon's Might... Could it be... No way!"

"..."

Everyone seemed to realize something.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with terror.

At this moment, the sky cracked open, and an extremely dark energy aura was released from the spatial rift. It instantly condensed and took shape above Thousand Lakes City, eventually transforming into a colossal creature with a body length of over three hundred meters.

It's a black dragon!
It is quite different from any other species of dragon.

The black dragon's scales seemed to be formed from the endless night, and it had wings that burned with flames like the shadow of the apocalypse. Its head and chest were covered with black crystal shells, which at first glance looked like a suit of armor covered with spikes.

He has eight eyes on his head, plus a pair of giant horns resembling those of a demon.

When this creature appeared, the surrounding space distorted, and the colors of the entire world dimmed, like a black hole that could suck away the colors of everything.

"It's the Eternal Night Dragon King!"

Upon seeing this figure, everyone was plunged into despair.

The Eternal Night Dragon King had already reached the late stage of the sixth rank several hundred years ago, and he was not just an ordinary sixth rank, but at least equivalent to a rare-level combat power.

There is no ancient formation of Thousand Lakes City, nor the Grand Elder.

Even if all the other guardians were combined, they wouldn't be enough to fight against this terrifying being.

After carefully sensing the situation, Meng Bai discovered that the Eternal Night Dragon King before her was only at the early stage of the sixth rank, which was clearly inconsistent with the true strength of the Eternal Night Dragon King.

The Eternal Night Dragon King was already at the late stage of the sixth rank a long time ago.

Recently, he has been in a deep slumber, cultivating for several decades.

Logically, their strength should only increase.

Then there is only one possibility: what appears before everyone at this moment is not the Eternal Night Dragon King in person, but merely an avatar or projection of it!
Even clone projections can reach level six!

This guy is obviously more than twice as strong as he was back then. His true strength is likely at the peak of the sixth rank, which is a terrifying power that can make everyone feel despair!
"It's over!"

"We can't escape!"

"Even if it's just an avatar that's appeared now, this kind of power is beyond our ability to contend with!"

"..."

The tribal leaders were plunged into despair.

When faced with the overwhelming pressure of the Eternal Night Dragon King.

They couldn't even muster the will to resist.

After the Eternal Night Dragon King appeared in the sky above Thousand Lakes City, his powerful spiritual energy immediately enveloped the entire area, and he instantly discovered the various factions in Thousand Lakes City who were attempting to relocate their population and launch a mass exodus.

Want to escape?
How ridiculous!

Ants are just ants after all!

The Eternal Night Dragon King is preparing to launch a devastating attack on the powerful warriors of Thousand Lakes City, led by Meng Bai.

Suddenly, he sensed an aura, so powerful that even he felt a sense of threat. He immediately withdrew his mental energy from all directions of the battlefield and focused it on this being. (End of Chapter)
