At this stage, although players could participate in the so-called meetings, they had no real decision-making power; they could only listen and make suggestions.

Not to mention leading an NPC legion on their own; even without deploying a single soldier, Li Yao could gain military merits just by leading. Moreover, a considerable part of the NPC legion’s military merits would be credited to the player leading them.

It was because of this system that players desperately sought leadership roles. Even though only a tiny portion of the guild’s rewards from the battles fought by player legions would be credited to the general, it seemed negligible but accumulated notably due to the sheer number of players.

Knowing this system, players all tried to obtain some official position, but there were no opportunities for them to lead an army alone.

Given the current circumstances, it wasn’t possible, so they harbored no extravagant hopes. But suddenly, Li Yao had gained such an opportunity which naturally incited all manner of envy and jealousy–it was an opportunity to effortlessly earn military merits.

Li Yao was very surprised but soon realized why–partly as a favor to the queen, showing a little care for him.

Though they had their protocols and wouldn’t break the rules for him, it was essential to open a small doorway within the rules to cultivate the next generation.

In the world of The Ancient God World, maintaining orderly inheritance was tough, especially difficult for someone without any background to truly rise, especially among the various NPC factions.

After all, the queen was Undead, and no matter how powerful she became in the future, she couldn’t have children. Li Yao, as the heir of the queen, naturally caught the eye of those in the Dark Camp.

More crucially, now that Li Yao became the leader, they knew the queen started passing down her real skills, not just the basics anymore.

In other words, should any mishap befall the queen one day, most of those loyal to her would likely transfer their loyalty to Li Yao. Such was the situation in The Ancient God World: usurping and ambition existed but were extremely rare.

The Ancient God World had no place for such people, nor a market for them to exist.

Of course, the main reason was Li Yao’s victory over the city gate battlefield; all three factions had been stuck for more than a day, and Li Yao’s achievement significantly boosted the prestige of the Dark Camp.

It was this merit that led to Cain smoothly suggesting bringing up Li Yao–it could be said that once Li Yao reached the main city of the Primitive Blood Tribe, his position as General was as good as confirmed.

Naturally, if Li Yao lacked ability, like a weakling incapable of standing on his own and merely a mediocre person, even the queen’s title would be of no use. The saying goes, background is crucial, but strength is even more important. One cannot go without the other.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yao had figured out these intricacies, so amidst the envious gazes of the players, he accepted the appointment.

Subsequently, the army entered the Original Blood Mountains. Initially, they didn’t split up and followed the main force in their advance.

On the third day after entering the mountains, the first three groups of troops had already separated; on the fourth day, Li Yao’s group also diverged.

In fact, the most crucial aim was to strike directly at the heart of the Primitive Blood Tribe, but the camps very tacitly launched comprehensive attacks, ensuring that all Primitive Blood forces were eradicated wherever they went.

Clearly, the Primitive Blood Tribe had incurred the wrath of many, but for Li Yao, dividing the forces posed no issue.

For the first two days, Li Yao entered NPC mode. His army of twenty thousand minotaurs, along with countless players following, encountered no significant resistance along the way.

Li Yao understood that this was the benefit phase after conquering a tough challenge, aiming to let players accumulate military achievements and conquer more Devil Tyrannosaurus legions.

Whenever they came across some strongholds, Li Yao methodically deployed people from the large guilds. Some guilds that had no conflicts or were friendly with Starfire had an easy time on this journey.

On the afternoon of the third day with Li Yao’s team, as the army was marching, a Dark Ranger flew back from afar.

“My lord,” reported the Dark Ranger, “thirty miles away, there’s a canyon, and the Primitive Blood Tribe has stationed a large army there.”

Li Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, “Has there been any fighting?”

“Yes, an Amazon General, an Ancient Elf General, and a Beastman General each led their legions to attack the canyon in turns. The battle was fierce, and it seems they have been trapped there for two or three days. The canyon is filled with corpses,” the Dark Ranger detailed.

“If someone has already attacked, then it’s not interesting anymore. Is there another way around the canyon?” Li Yao inquired.

The Dark Ranger shook his head. “We sent out several sisters to scout, and the area is surrounded by mountains with cliffs everywhere. This canyon is the only path to Primordial Blood City. If we don’t want to go through here, we can only return the way we came and choose another marching route.”

Li Yao shook his head; returning the same way was definitely not an option. “Keep moving. Let’s go see this canyon that has trapped three factions for two or three days.”

The method Li Yao handed to Tonton for taming the Devil Tyrannosaurus was not difficult, and knowing their weakness, there were actually multiple ways to handle them.

Therefore, when Li Yao’s team broke through the fortress that night, players from the other two factions had also broken through, attacking the fortress. So they entered this area almost at the same time as the Dark Camp.

Although the players from the sub-dimension had a day’s lead, they too got stuck at challenging stages, and Li Yao, as the leader of the fifth troop, inevitably had his marching route overlap with those from other factions.

Especially since they had been attacking the final map for several days, nearing the center and complicated by the rugged mountain terrain, encountering other factions became ordinary.

However, Li Yao did not expect that the final obstacle he encountered would also be faced by troops from the other three factions.

Soon, Li Yao and his team saw the so-called canyon, a vast territory where three legions were stationed. The canyon stretched wide in some places up to a hundred yards, and in narrow spots, only a few dozen yards across, with no visible end.

On the cliffs above the canyon, countless Primitive Blood Tribesmen could be seen on top, while in the canyon were numerous bodies emitting red light, mutated monster corpses, densely packed, clearly all victims of wicked blood mutation who had perished here.

At that moment, a legion was launching an attack. The attacking players were from the Light Faction, deploying no less than a hundred thousand troops to assault the canyon.

In the sky, over a hundred thousand Falcon legions were ready to dive down and shred the Primitive Blood Tribe’s troops on both sides of the cliff.

And this time, the Primitive Blood surprisingly had no air force. Logically, when attacked by an air force, they should retreat, but instead, the troops on the cliff were not retreating but were battle-ready…
