Chapter 469 - 307: The Virtual God Battle Is About to End, Tuoba Yu and Gu Yun Eliminated in Succession

Chapter 469: Chapter 307: The Virtual God Battle Is About to End, Tuoba Yu and Gu Yun Eliminated in Succession

Initially, Gu Yun had believed that even if he wasn’t as strong as Zhang Yi, he was surely stronger than Tuoba Yu.

In that case,

if he teamed up with Tuoba Yu to counter Zhang Yi,

he might have a chance. After eliminating Zhang Yi, he could face Tuoba Yu one-on-one and potentially win the prize—two Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Cards.

But now, it seemed Zhang Yi had dispatched a Vanguard Corps of only about ten thousand men and had defeated Tuoba Yu’s Vanguard Corps with almost no losses.

Moreover, Zhang Yi’s Legendary Level Heroic Clan had also handily slain two of the opposing Ninth Level Heroic Clan members.

This disparity in strength,

while not yet utterly hopeless,

made resistance incredibly difficult.

Gu Yun’s mind raced, working faster than ever before.

But no matter how he ran the scenarios,

faced with Zhang Yi’s Legendary Level Heroic Clan and a Vanguard Corps that was better equipped, better trained, and stronger,

he couldn’t come up with a viable counter-strategy.

His chances of victory had plummeted.

’I have to change my strategy!’

Gu Yun took a deep breath, his gaze hardening with resolve.

’Defending passively is a dead end. I have to take a risk!’

’But now, should I make a goodwill gesture to Tuoba Yu and team up against Zhang Yi, or should I take this chance to kick him while he’s down, eliminate him first, and then face Zhang Yi one-on-one?’

He recalled Tuoba Yu’s previous attitude toward him, then glanced southeast toward the Zhang Yi Divine Realm and its defenses, Solid as Fortresses.

A bold, even insane, plan began to take shape in Gu Yun’s mind.

Meanwhile, in the Neutral Area,

despite their victory in the first battle,

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric did not grow complacent.

He knew this was only the appetizer.

According to information obtained from interrogating members of the Icefield Mammoth Clan and the Icefield Wolfman Clan,

the entire Beastman Clan was being conscripted.

The Vanguard Corps that Tuoba Yu had sent out accounted for only one-fifth of his Divine Realm’s total population.

In other words,

if Tuoba Yu decided to go all-out,

he could still muster the remaining four-fifths from his Divine Realm—a force of nearly forty thousand!

That was no small number.

This was true even considering the untrained members of the Beastman Clan, as well as the old, the weak, and the young.

But counting only the adult males, he still had a force of over ten thousand Beastman Clan soldiers.

Coupled with the geographical advantage within the enemy’s Divine Realm,

the battles to come, facing the wrath of the God of Ice and Storm, would not be easy.

What’s more,

farther away, to the northwest of My God’s Divine Realm, there was another Alien God whose Main Clan was the Stone-man and whose Divine Name was the God of Earth!

The moment My God’s Clan attacked the icefields,

the other Alien God would definitely not sit by and watch.

Therefore, the real test was only just beginning!

"Rest here for one hour!"

ordered Pioneer Corps Commander Eric.

"Then, we will proceed to the northeast and northwest borders of the Neutral Area and establish defensive lines on both fronts simultaneously."

"We must confine the enemy’s advance to this forested Neutral Area as much as possible!"

"Yes, Pioneer Corps Commander!"

The soldiers led by Pioneer Corps Commander Eric responded in unison.

Morale was high.

Following a general who could win battles like this, they were fearless!

As the time approached two or three in the morning,

in the forest,

there was no sound but the marching of troops.

But beneath the silence, a powerful undercurrent was surging.

The spectacular and brutal three-way battle had only just begun!

...

By six o’clock in the afternoon at the Starfire Training Ground, there was finally some activity from the three students inside the Divine Domain Connection Pods.

The gazes of the forty-seven students remaining in the Starfire Training Ground, as well as Chief Instructor Yang, involuntarily turned towards the westernmost Divine Domain Connection Pod.

As time ticked by,

the westernmost Divine Domain Connection Pod began to make a series of noises,

before its door HISSed open, the first of the three.

Tuoba Yu emerged from the Divine Domain Connection Pod, his face livid. His chest heaved violently, and his eyes were bloodshot with indignation and fury.

As the white vapor from the pod’s opening door dispersed,

Tuoba Yu stepped out and slammed his fist against the pod’s outer casing,

producing a heavy, muffled THUD.

The sound drew the attention of the other students and Chief Instructor Yang.

"Damn it, damn it all!"

"Gu Yun, I swear, we are mortal enemies!"

As the first to be eliminated from the virtual divine battle,

Tuoba Yu was clearly seething with resentment.

After all, he was the first one to be eliminated!

Recalling Gu Yun’s actions made Tuoba Yu even more furious.

Earlier, Zhang Yi’s Vanguard Corps, led by Pioneer Corps Commander Eric,

had not rushed to push deeper or launch a counter-attack after scoring their first victory in the Temperate Forest.

Instead, they had first established a defensive line at the edge of the forest in the Neutral Area, intending to make their defenses across the entire zone Solid as Fortresses.

At the same time, they constantly sent out Dark Elf Scouts and Elf Scouts disguised as Druids

to perform Reconnaissance on the Divine Realms and Clans of the two Alien Gods to the northwest and northeast.

Because of Pioneer Corps Commander Eric’s steady and calculated tactics,

even though Tuoba Yu was furious to learn that his dispatched Vanguard Corps had been ambushed and utterly routed,

with two of his Heroic Clan members with Ninth Level Power, including the Icefield Mammoth Chief, having been cut down by the enemy’s Legendary Clan,

he no longer dared to send out a large army,
