National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

While the main battlefield was raging, another massacre was drawing to a close in the dense forest to the southeast.

"clang!"

The spear aimed at Morrison's face was deflected by the military dagger, and Morrison ducked to avoid a scimitar sweeping in from the other side.

At the same time, the dagger was thrust upwards from the bottom, piercing through the snake-man's relatively soft lower jaw and penetrating its skull.

[You have defeated the Lv5 Snakeman and gained 50 Evolution Points]

"puff."

Fresh blood and brain matter dripped down the blood channel.

At the same time Elijah retrieved the salt shield, he heard the game system's notification sound:

[You have assisted in defeating the Lv5 Snake Man and have earned 30 Evolution Points]

Assist in the kill, 30 points.

Morrison, on the other hand, took the lion's share, leaving Morrison to be like a beggar picking up bread crumbs.

Jealousy gripped his heart, but deeper still...

It's still fear.

He knew the way the United States operated all too well.

Once they lose their usefulness or show any potential threat, their fate will be the same as the players who were killed by Morrison before—they will be swept away.

Therefore, if we want to break free from control, we must do it once and for all—

kill him!

Seeing their comrade killed, the remaining two snake-men soldiers roared and lunged at Morrison, who posed a greater threat, from the left and right.

The curved blades crossed into an X shape, blocking all his escape routes.

Morrison looked stern, his body almost lying flat on his back, his hat falling to the ground.

But the military dagger in his hand swiftly sliced ​​through the snake-man's knee, and as the snake-man bent over in pain, it precisely slit its throat.

[You have defeated the Lv5 Snakeman and gained 50 Evolution Points]

Then, using the spin, he flicked his arm in the opposite direction.

The bayonet struck the wrist of the other snake-man holding the knife with great force.

"Click."

In the instant the snake-man lost its grip on the knife due to the excruciating pain, Morrison had already propped himself up, and the military dagger pierced through the back of its head from its wide-open mouth.

[You have defeated the Lv5 Snakeman and gained 50 Evolution Points]

In order to complete this incredible comeback, Morrison's back was completely exposed to Elijah.

Heaven is on his side!

Elijah did not hesitate any longer. He pulled a small dagger from his back waist with his right hand and stabbed it fiercely towards Morrison's back with a light blue light!

This is his trump card.

The weapons obtained from Sita do not require bloodlines or spells; they can achieve the same effect as the weapons she made for the snake people simply by activating them with the power of human sequences.

Elijah secretly tested it on a lowly serpent-man.

With just a small wound, the tenacious snake-man suffocated to death in agony within three minutes.

"Pfft."

Morrison reacted quickly, sidestepping as the crisis approached, causing the dagger that was supposed to pierce his back to deviate from its position and instead plunge deeply into his shoulder.

Elijah was overjoyed; that was enough!

Morrison did stagger, his breathing instantly becoming heavy and rapid, and his veins bulging.

He clutched his throat, turned around with difficulty, and looked at Elijah with a questioning gaze.

Elijah felt a surge of pleasure in his chest.

He stepped forward, intending to enjoy the pathetic death of the high-and-mighty American colonel.

"Goodbye, Colonel. For..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A mocking smile suddenly appeared on Morrison's pained and contorted face.

"Heh...hehe...hahahahaha..."

The suffocating gasps gradually turned into low laughter, each one louder than the last.

He straightened his back, and the look of impending death he had just given him vanished without a trace.

Elijah seemed to be struck by a petrifying spell, and for a moment he was unable to move.

What happened?

That dagger...

Morrison's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Elijah's retina was left with only a blurry image; before his brain could even register the alarm, a tremendous force slammed into his chest.

"Bang!"

He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a large tree. His internal organs shifted instantly, and his vision began to blur.

Morrison looked down at him.

"idiot."

"The purpose of the 【Sea Soul Stone】 is to create a miniature deep-sea force field... You didn't even know that?"

"They actually plan to... drown the [Deep Sea Barbarian] in the deep sea?"

"What a brilliant idea."

......

Blue Star, the Honey Badger Country.

"That piece of trash!"

As he watched the live stream of Elijah being interrupted, Waitahu cursed inwardly.

As for why it was a veiled curse...

"See, this was the expected result, wasn't it?"

A blond man sitting opposite him shrugged and spread his hands, speaking in a teasing tone.

"Of course, of course... I swear, this was Elijah's personal action, absolutely not at our behest..."

Waita Hu calmly replied:

"We will always be the strongest allies."

"Oh! I'm relieved to hear that." The blond man patted his chest dramatically. "However, I still feel a little guilty that Morrison 'accidentally' killed an ally..."

Waita Hu's eyes lit up.

It's good enough if we're not being blackmailed, so what... could there be some benefit?

He held his breath, waiting for what would follow.

The blond man leaned closer, as if sharing a little secret, and said:

"Alright then, considering our strong alliance, I can fight for the same preferential treatment for you—the right to choose who enters the game."

Waitahu's heart pounded wildly.

"Of course, everything comes at a price." The blond man changed the subject, pinching his index finger and thumb together to make a tiny gap.

"We only have one...small request."

"black gold."

The enthusiasm of Waitahu was instantly extinguished.

He frowned: "As you know, our honey badger resources aren't abundant either, this..."

"Shh-"

The blond man pursed his lips and raised an index finger to interrupt him.

"Figure it out yourself."

"If you can't think of anything... then I can offer you a few ideas..."

"For example, one of your neighbors has a lot of black gold!"

......

【The Ocean Era】

Morrison picked up the hat that had fallen to the ground with a blank expression, gently brushed away the fallen leaves and dust, and carefully put it on his head.

Then he bent down and picked up the small dagger Elijah had used to launch the sneak attack.

"...The [Forge Master] truly possesses a wondrous power."

However, it's better to destroy forces that cannot be controlled.

Morrison hid the dagger in a hidden compartment next to his tactical boots, without even glancing at his now-cold former teammate, and turned to walk south.

That contestant from the Dragon Kingdom named Renyi is an unpredictable variable who always manages to do the unexpected.
