Chapter 904 - Calm Thinking (1/2)

Translator: Shiraishi  Editor: TheAlliance

It was already to be expected that the Quicksand Tower’s points would start to catch up to the Burning Tower and the Sky City.

The Odin Kingdom’s strongest Sky City, Burning Tower, and Quicksand Tower were topping the standings, but their other forces were also doing well. The Henry Family, Shadow Tower, Jackson Family, and the Maxwell Family had all stormed the top ten.

Facing such circumstances, the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower couldn’t sit still. They immediately contacted Lin Yun to convene a crystal conference.

Lin Yun was sitting in an empty meeting room with a blossoming crystal ball placed on each side of the table projecting Jouyi and Harren’s figures.

“The Odin Kingdom is really too powerful, especially Sky City. It’s powerful to the point of disbelief. Although I knew that Sky City was especially good at war, I hadn’t expected them to be so strong.

“I’ve seen a recording of Sky City’s attack on a fort. Their air assault unit was simply made for war. It floated over, and no matter how the Beastmen attacked, they simply couldn’t affect the war fortress. The Beastmen warriors were pretty much completely useless, just waiting to die.

“Moreover, I didn’t expect that Sky City would actually send a 300-meter war fortress into the Raging Flame Plane. Facing this tool of pure mass destruction, only a Heaven Rank powerhouse could resist.

“And we know that the Burning Tower and the Quicksand Tower are also stronger. The more they move towards the center of the Raging Flame Plane, the dryer the environment will be, and the stronger the power of fire will be. The power that the Quicksand Tower and the Burning Tower can display just keeps increasing. Especially the Quicksand Tower! They already caught up to us and became 3rd.

“And that’s not mentioning the other forces of the Odin Kingdom. It will be too difficult to overtake them…”

Deep worry could be seen in Jouyi’s eyes. He looked helpless and exhausted. These days, the Cloud Tower had been going all-out on their assault expeditions, but they had been unable to gain more points than the Quicksand Tower…

So when the Sky Tower and its exaggerated hoard of points, it made the Star Sage, this powerhouse who had been in control of the Cloud Tower for many, many years, somewhat despair.

Harren also had a sullen expression, and his worries could hardly be covered up.

“We have to think of a way to overtake them with our power. We have to make the other forces in the rear go all-out and coordinate with the assault. If it continues like this, even if we end up conquering the Raging Flame Plane, we will still lose to the Odin Kingdom…”

Jouyi and Harren were very worried, but Lin Yun was unperturbed by these circumstances.

“Sir Merlin, do you have an idea?” Harren couldn’t help asking when he saw Lin Yun’s calm attitude.

Lin Yun indifferently pointed out, “Can we solve the problem by worrying? We can just accelerate our pace. The difference in points might look big, but the true powerhouses are still in the back. Who will end up winning has yet to be decided.

“We can fall behind in terms of points, as long as we don’t fall behind in the assaults…”

Harren and Jouyi glanced at each other, getting the gist of what Lin Yun meant. The gap in points at the current stage wasn’t something unbreachable, because the further along in the war they were, the more points they would earn. The deficit wasn’t yet something they couldn’t catch up with.

But the disadvantage was too great now. When comparing the points of the Andlusa Kingdom with the Odin Kingdom, the latter had at least a few times as much as the former.

That gap wasn’t easy to breach, it would be very difficult for the Andlusa Kingdom to win, extremely difficult, and the chances were slim.

The crystal conference didn’t discuss the outcomes. They only exchanged information and kept at it with their assaults.

The Cloud Tower and the Black Tower’s people seemed like their pants had been set on fire. Their attack power had been raised to the extreme and the Heaven Rank powerhouses would occasionally appear.

Meanwhile, on Lin Yun’s side, they were still moving at a fixed pace, neither slow nor fast.

Sword puppets were charging forward while casting puppets were forming waves of spells that crashed down.

The offensive was completely left to the puppets, and even if they met a powerhouse, it would be the patched puppet’s turn. Lin Yun rarely had Reina, Xiuban, or Enderfa attack.

The mage army’s mission was to clean up the battlefield and gather the loot.

Each time a fort was attacked, the mage army would survey the surrounding resources, which would then be gathered by the puppets. If they found some ruins, Lin Yun would lead his group to unearth them.

Things like arranging the defenses and running the forts would be left to Lin Yun’s three cousins. Their strength had rapidly increased recently, and their abilities had also improved very quickly. The three most promising youths of the Merlin Family were now taking care of logistics.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Lin Yun’s points remained at the 10th spot. Occasionally, after attacking a fort, he would jump to the 9th spot, but he would soon be overtaken.

Time quickly passed, and soon, half a month had already gone by.
