Chapter 426: Chapter 239: I, the Brave, am the Messenger of Justice!

"Great God, the third ring of the hidden mission is complete," Hualou Chun said with a smile.

The first ring was to occupy the Royal Palace, the second was to occupy the Royal Capital, and the third was to occupy the Holy Kingdom. Now the fourth ring has appeared, which is to conquer the entire Hero Continent or eliminate the resistance forces.

From the changes in the mission, it was clearly the last ring. If there were more rings, the option to eliminate resistance forces wouldn’t be available.

This meant there was no need to run around anymore; they just needed to kill off the boss and the elites.

The Demon King was a bit more troublesome, seeming to be an immortal existence; he could revive after being killed, otherwise the main mission would have described it as ’defeat’ instead of ’kill’ directly.

It was obviously impossible to kill, which led to the use of ’defeat.’

"Oh, I know," Gu Shanhai said, not caring at all about the so-called hidden mission because he couldn’t receive any rewards. Luckily, this task did not differ much from his plan, otherwise, Gu Shanhai wouldn’t bother with it.

As long as the last ring of the hidden mission was completed, and after killing the boss and the elites, they were guaranteed at least an SS rating. As for SSS ratings, they shouldn’t even think about it. Although they had been busy, if they talked about the entire instance’s contribution, it could only be considered fragmented. If not for the task’s difficulty and number of rings, it would have only reached an S rating at best.

Of course, if they wanted to aim higher, they could trigger one to three more high-difficulty hidden missions. Then they would be stable for an SSS rating mission.

But the problem was that the whole world had already turned into this state, and it was impossible for them to trigger more.

Other races also had their respective hidden missions. If Gu Shanhai followed the normal procedure, there was still a chance to trigger them. Now that he had directly replaced the Demon King as the tyrannical ruler, the difficulty had increased a lot. From the original logical development, these different kings, such as the Elf King, Beastman King, and so on, were actually allies from their side.

A hero could leverage to form their own squad, roughly equivalent to each race sending a person to go die with the hero. Otherwise, relying solely on the hero would also lead to being beaten to death.

"Shall we just go ahead and kill?" Tao Hua Xiao also asked.

"That works too, since we’ve already dominated them," Gu Shanhai didn’t have many thoughts on it. Now, he just needed to lead out the Vespa-type genetically modified people, having already developed a strategy of overpowering them; there was no need for any convoluted tactics, just direct encirclement.

The idea of the ten-times encirclement was to have ten times the enemy’s troops, just encircle them and kick them around, not doing any tricks; otherwise, it might end up like the battle of Hefei between Sun Shiwang and Zhang Babai.

"However, there’s one problem. Do you know where the enemy is?" Gu Shanhai asked.

This question made Hualou Chun and Tao Hua Xiao’s expressions stiffen, as they really didn’t know where the enemy was.

Regarding the Holy Kingdom, they just rampaged through, never considering these aspects. Think about it, with tens of thousands of Vespa-type genetically modified people finding a city and just surrounding it. Then, there was no then.

So, they actually had no external intelligence, at most only a rough idea of these races’ locations. Like the giant dragons overseas, they didn’t even know where overseas referred to, and as for dwarves living between mountains or underground, only the Beastmen were easy to find, right in the northern grasslands.

"Let’s start with the Beastmen, then take a prisoner, and that should do it," Tao Hua Xiao reacted instantly. Since they knew the location, they would hit them first.

By then, just by sparing a life, there would definitely be Beastmen willing to lead the way for them.

"Good idea, let’s go!" Hualou Chun was very proactive.

Gu Shanhai was speechless; this guy was indeed a traditional player. Having known where to go, he was ready to settle the problem of chopping a few.

But it was also for a profitable cause. During their time in the Holy Kingdom, the two had scraped together quite a bit. Otherwise, where would the motivation come from?

Gu Shanhai had also gained quite a bit, although most of it consisted of things like the Mage Meditation Method, warrior training methods, etc. The most valuable was the enchantment of Magic Devices, which was basically the method of manufacturing Magic equipment. However, it turned out to be inferior to the techniques of refining magical treasures, and could only be used for an analogous transfer.

As for plants, not to mention, either they just looked good, or they had already become potions, medicine, really having no use.

Only a few special potions were somewhat useful, such as healing potions, Magic Potions—two RPG game staples used for restoring health and mana—as well as strength-increasing Barbarian Potions, agility-increasing Spiritual Cat Potions, and so on. They were quite famous, basically appearing in every Western Fantasy World, with similar names and effects, just different raw materials and refining methods.

This had added bricks and tiles to his Outer Elixir Technique, but now Gu Shanhai hadn’t had the chance to start researching, mainly because it wasn’t appropriate. Who knew what peculiar derivative elixirs might be researched, better to wait until there were no people around to maintain his godlike dignity.

"Maybe there’s no need for the north?" Gu Shanhai abruptly said.

"What happened? Is there another problem?" Hualou Chun was puzzled; logically speaking, Gu Shanhai wouldn’t object, especially since they were at the final stage.

"The coalition has arrived. When we were collecting Vespa-type genetically modified people, these races had already formed a coalition with the Demon King. Didn’t I tell you this speculation before? How could you forget."
