[Congratulations Lord Su Wan for destroying the Territory Core of the enemy Lord and obtaining points!]

[Congratulations Lord Su Wan for destroying the enemy Overlord’s territory Hall and obtaining points!]

…

Su Wan looked at the continuous prompts and for a moment, she felt numb.

She had believed that the Golden Behemoths and other troops would be sufficient to worry the enemy, but she hadn’t expected that the Golden Behemoths and other troops would be able to annihilate the enemy’s base camp completely. These troops were so fierce that they directly wiped out the enemy!

The Lords and their troops were encased in white light, and they disappeared. Su Wan realized that their Territory Cores had been destroyed.

“Fraud Xu, come down quickly! Did you plan this?”

Su Wan was in disbelief. She knew that the Golden Behemoths and the other troops, which were low on intellect, could make the plan on their own.

At the top of the tree, Xu Yuan opened his eyes and wagged his tail happily.

‘Seems like she is finally catching up. Not bad!’

However, Xu Yuan couldn’t let her know the whole truth just yet. She could guess all she liked but without evidence, guesses held no weight.

‘If she finds out that I am the one who gave the order and can strategize, she will order me all day to handle the situation.’

Xu Yuan stretched lazily. He neither admitted nor denied it. He continued to sleep.

The other regions were also in a state of intense competition when Su Wan defeated the three enemy Overlords.

Su Wan had little opportunity to rest. The Three Kingdoms’ most crucial predicament began in front of the entire arena.

The two strongest Lords, Chen Ye and Mu Qing, had eliminated the remaining Lords. Now, only Su Wan, Chen Ye and Mu Qing were left.

“We’ll keep defending this location using the safest defensive strategies!” said Su Wan to her troops.

‘Chen Ye and Mu Qing are both seniors. I can’t compare to them! If I just defend my territory, they will fight each other first and then one of them will come to deal with me.’

Su Wan was clear about her plan.

There wasn’t much of a difference between second and third place compared to first place.

The one who got the first place would be the Captain, and the other two, in second and third places would be the Vice-Captains.

If Mu Qing couldn’t beat Chen Ye, then he would either be in second or third place. It wouldn’t matter whether he could beast Su Wan or not.

On the contrary, if Mu Qing did defeat Chen Ye, then he would come after Su Wan as well. Either way, Su Wan was irrelevant right now for the competition to obtain first place.

Su Wan analyzed the situation and decided to stay put. She had done very well as a freshman to reach this far, and she was satisfied with where she was right now.

However, things didn’t go as Su Wan wished.

Mu Qing and Chen Ye received messages from their friends from outside the arena reminding them to be careful of Su Wan and her hero.

Chen Ye looked at the direction of Su Wan’s territory. He recalled the things that had happened since Su Wan’s arrival. He thought that Su Wan’s hero hadn’t made a move yet. Chen Ye was cautious.

Su Wan’s hero Xu Yuan was not worried. He slept soundly.

“It’s better to be safe than sorry!” muttered Chen Ye. He thought about Su Wan’s performance till now, and he remained vigilant.

“I am pretty sure her hero has some moves up his sleeves,” said Chen Ye’s SS-class hero, Blood Dominator.

The Blood Dominator was a humanoid creature with blood-red wings on his back. Blood flowed on the surface of his body in rivulets.

“But that time, it was like a child’s play, wasn’t it?” Chen Ye said. “I can’t understand them.”

When Su Wan had faced Zhang Wei, she could have easily won. But her hero, at the last minute, had flown outside the ring “accidentally” and Su Wan had lost the match.

“My Lord, I can feel that Su Wan’s creature isn’t simple. He might be a formidable enemy.”

The Blood Dominator wasn’t able to see through Xu Yuan’s real identity, but his senses still told him that Xu Yuan wasn’t as simple as he looked.

The Blood Dominator suggested Chen Ye to form an alliance with Mu Qing. He didn’t have the confidence to go against Su Wan’s hero on his own. If Chen Ye joined forces with Mu Qing, it wouldn’t look like he was bullying a freshman alone.

Chen Ye found Mu Qing to be in a similar situation.

Mu Qing had received messages from his friends warning him to be careful of Su Wan and her hero, too.

“Why don’t we band together and get rid of Su Wan?” suggested Chen Ye.

Initially, Mu Qing didn’t want to do this, but his hero and Chen Ye’s hero both believed that they should collaborate.

“There’s no time to lose. We need to act now so that Su Wan won’t even find the time to prepare.” Chen Ye felt that they should immediately dispatch the troops. Mu Qing agreed.

Suddenly, the area was filled with black mist.

“What’s wrong? What’s happening?”

Mu Qing realized that something was wrong with his S-class hero, the Dark Magister.

Dark magister’s face was pale as though he had seen something frightening. He pointed his wand at Chen Ye’s troops.

“Dark Burst!”

The black energy ball flew toward Chen Ye’s troops and exploded. In the blink of an eye, numerous troops were killed or injured.

“Mu Qing! What do you mean by this?!” Chen Ye was furious.

Mu Qing hesitated. He was just about to explain when the Gargoyles, Night Elves, and Demonic Corpses under him attacked Chen Ye’s troops.

“Stop it!” shouted Mu Qing. “Why don’t you listen to my orders?” He was confused. His troops didn’t obey him at all.

He had thought of betraying Chen Ye to take the first place later. But he hadn’t expected his troops to turn against Chen Ye right now.

‘Why are my troops attacking without my orders?’ Mu Qing wondered.

“Mu Qing! You traitor!” Chen Ye was enraged. “Since you have chosen death, I will eliminate you first!”

Mu Qing could not defend himself. He was astonished. Nobody would even believe him if he said he hadn’t given the orders for his troops to attack. ‘If not me, who ordered my troops?’

The True eyes of The Demon Dragon observed everything from a distance. The dark mist was Xu Yuan’s doing. He had activated the ability, Lord of Darkness, and forcibly controlled Mu Qing’s troops, making them turn against Chen Ye, to create a conflict between them.

The battle between Chen Ye and Mu Qing wasn’t very long. The difference in strength between Chen Ye and Mu Qing was too great. Chen Ye won easily. However, he did lose some troops.

Now, only two Lords were left.
