Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

After the World Alliance candidates, Li Wei, and Min Hongyi were teleported back to the city, they quickly submitted the information they obtained in the first main city of Demon Dragon.

However, the NPC intelligence officer in charge of military intelligence missions did not believe them at all. He thought that they had fabricated false important information in order to scam a large reward.

But after the repeated assurances from the group, the intelligence officer sent out NPC scouts to investigate.

When several waves of NPC scouts brought back information about the monster tide, the intelligence officer finally realized the urgency of the situation and quickly reported the news upwards.

Due to the use of teleportation and communication badges, the news quickly reached the capital of the Horadric Kingdom.

King Horadric immediately summoned his ministers for a discussion.

At the same time, in Howling Canyon.

As the junction between the Demon Dragon forces and the Horadric Kingdom, and also the Sacred Land for farming monster crests and upgrading the Book of Crests, even on the sixth day, there were still a large number of candidates gathered here.

At the entrance of the valley, several candidates were teaming up to efficiently farm monsters.

After defeating a group of monsters and waiting for them to respawn, one candidate stood at the entrance, looking into the distance.

Suddenly, he saw a towering cloud of smoke rising in the distance.

"Hey, come and take a look, what's happening over there?" the candidate quickly called out to the other members of the team.

Several team members walked over, curiously looking at the cloud of smoke.

"Maybe it's a sandstorm or something?"

"How is that possible? The Demon Dragon forces are in a grassland area, not a desert. Where would the sandstorm come from?"

"Then what else could it be?"

"Well, since there's nothing we can do, let's just watch."

While the candidates were discussing, the cloud of smoke approached them, and the ground started to tremble slightly.

"Oh my god! It's monsters! So many monsters!"

One sharp-eyed candidate finally saw the true nature of the cloud of smoke and was instantly terrified.

"Damn, it's a monster tide!"

"What are you still looking at? If you don't want to die, run!"

The candidates quickly made a decision and teleported back to the city on the spot.

Except for the team at the entrance of the valley, all the candidates near the entrance also discovered the surging monster tide and hurriedly fled.

Teleportation beams lit up one after another.

The second half of the canyon was completely empty.

A few minutes later, Chen Yu's army of monsters arrived at Howling Canyon.

At the same time, he received a prompt in his mind.

[Hint: As the camp boss, if you lead a large number of combat units through the border between map forces, it will be considered a declaration of war against the other side's map force.]

[Hint: When the map forces of both sides engage in a decisive battle, it will trigger the ultimate mission of the ranking competition instance in advance.]

"That's what I want, a declaration of war! Everyone, attack!"

Chen Yu gave the order.

More than twenty regional bosses led the charge, leading a group of elite monsters and small monsters into Howling Canyon.

The density of monsters gathered was very high, and with no discipline, under the crowding, some small monsters with weak strength fell to the ground and were trampled over by the army, perfectly blending into the terrain.

The terrain of Howling Canyon was not straight, with many twists and turns in the middle, causing limited visibility.

However, the grand momentum of a large number of monsters entering still alarmed the candidates farming in the canyon.

Some candidates ran over out of curiosity.

The result was obvious.

Those who ran fast still had a glimmer of hope.

The slow runners were trampled into a white streak of light by countless monster hooves, ending their journey in the college entrance exam ranking competition.

It took the army of monsters more than an hour to pass through Howling Canyon.

When Chen Yu, who was walking at the back, passed through Howling Canyon, another prompt sounded in his mind.

[Prompt: Due to your war against the Horadric Kingdom faction, the ultimate mission of the instance has been activated in advance.]

[Ultimate Mission: Swift and Decisive Battle]

Mission Content: As the ultimate boss of the faction, lead your subordinates in the final battle against the Horadric Kingdom forces.

Victory Condition: Capture all main cities of the Horadric Kingdom, including the royal city, within 5 days.

Mission Reward: 500,000 college entrance exam points.

Note: Cities captured by our side cannot be reclaimed by the enemy.

At the same time, all the candidates in the ranking competition instance, except for Chen Yu, also received a prompt.

[Prompt: Due to the Demon Dragon faction's ultimate boss initiating a war against the Horadric Kingdom faction, the ultimate mission of the instance has been activated in advance.]

[Ultimate Mission: Tenacious Resistance]

Mission Content: Help the Horadric Kingdom resist the enemy's attack.

Victory Condition: Defend any main city of the Horadric Kingdom for more than 5 days.

Mission Reward: Basic 1,000 college entrance exam points + 500,000 college entrance exam points distributed based on war contributions.

Note: Cities captured by the enemy cannot be reclaimed by our side.

[Prompt: Due to the significant power difference between the two factions, except for the Demon Dragon faction, other faction candidates will receive the instance map in the ranking competition, which will mark the location of enemy units in real-time.]

The candidates were immediately in an uproar.

Some candidates who were still fighting monsters were even stunned, not realizing that they had been covered in monster goo.

"The ultimate mission is starting already?"

"What does 'tenacious resistance' mean? Was the Horadric Kingdom really that weak?"

"What the hell? It's one thing for the ultimate mission to start early, but the power difference between the two sides is still so huge?!"

"Our ultimate mission is to defend any main city for 5 days, which means that, unless something unexpected happens, the enemy will definitely capture 20 main cities plus the royal city within five days?"

"Wait a minute, I've seen the previous college entrance exam ranking competitions, and most of them had faction divisions. The power difference between factions couldn't be this big!"

"The map shows that the Demon Dragon faction's army has already reached Stronghold City. Let's go and take a look!"

"Yes, let's go and see!"

...

Stronghold City.

Since Stronghold City was on the front line and the decisive battle between the two sides was likely to take place there, most candidates had set up teleportation points in Stronghold City.

At this moment, countless white pillars of light kept illuminating Stronghold City, and tens of thousands of candidates gathered there.

Most candidates chose to leave the city and find suitable positions for flanking attacks in the wilderness.

A few candidates went up to the city walls, preparing to reap a wave of enemies from a high vantage point.

After reading the content of the ultimate mission, the candidates didn't have much hope of being able to hold Stronghold City.

The instance's judgment of the strength of both sides was rarely wrong.

If they could really hold Stronghold City, then the ultimate mission shouldn't be "tenacious resistance," but something else entirely.

In addition to the large number of candidates, the NPC army in Stronghold City had also been fully integrated and was ready for battle.

Outside the city walls, there was a neatly arranged formation of cavalry and infantry.

The city walls were lined with numerous long-range units.

Arrow towers, cannons, ballistas, and other defensive weapons were also on high alert, ready to deliver a deadly blow to the enemy at any time.
