27: It's stable. It's stable.

"Alright, everyone, pause for a moment and listen to me."

Chen Hu pressed his hand down, interrupting the applause from everyone.

After scanning the room, he said slowly, "I have decided to take advantage of the night to attack a few territories."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

That mature-looking Lord hesitated and said, "Boss Chen Hu, it is very dark right now. Wouldn't it be a bit unsafe to travel?"

Chen Hu sneered, "What is there to fear? It is precisely because it is still deep in the night that other Lords are relatively relaxed, thinking that no one would act under the cover of darkness."

"Tonight, taking advantage of the darkness, we will first take down a few Lords, obtain points and resources, and strengthen our own power."

Upon hearing this, the remaining Lords looked at each other, then nodded one after another.

Indeed, just as Chen Hu said.

Acting tonight offers the highest chance of success.

After tonight passes, the other Lords will surely run around to form alliances, and it will be very difficult to deal with them by then.

"Boss Chen Hu, then which Lords are we going to attack?" a Lord asked.

Hearing this, Chen Hu took out a crude map he had made himself, with several points marked on it.

"According to Zhang Qiang's detection, there are fluctuations of living people in these directions. Among them, there are 5 Lords to our east, 7 due south, 7 to the northeast, and only 3 to the southwest."

After speaking, he pointed to a spot on the map.

The Zhang Qiang he spoke of was that mature-looking Lord.

Although his Troops were only Tier 3 Brown Bears, he was lucky enough to awaken a C-rank talent—Life Fluctuation.

This talent allowed him to analyze the residual life particles in the air.

At the same time, this ability could also be synchronized to all the Troops under his command.

Through these three days of investigation, he had already detected the presence of residual life particles in the air in several directions.

However, this talent could only detect living creatures.

Heroes and Lords were considered living creatures.

But Troops were not.

The former two were transported to the Endless Continent from all over the universe by the will of heaven and were real, living creatures.

Only the Troops were biological weapons created out of thin air, so they did not possess any life particles.

Otherwise, Zhang Qiang would have been able to detect that the life particles in the southwest direction were definitely the most numerous.

"So, we should take down these 3 Lords in the southwest direction tonight?" a Lord asked, his eyes gleaming.

"Correct. As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. Let's crush this soft persimmon first, then slowly settle scores with the Lords in the other directions." Chen Hu nodded.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's set off."

Chen Hu clenched his right fist and slapped it hard into his left palm.

Once his order was given, all the Lords took their respective Troops and headed toward the southwest.

Everyone rode on their Troops.

If they did not have suitable Troops for riding, they rode on the Troops of other Lords.

After all, they were still just ordinary people; traveling dozens of kilometers at night would surely run their legs off.

A dozen or so Lords moved simultaneously, and with their combined Troops numbering over 200, it was quite an imposing force.

Whenever any wild monsters tried to approach, they were discovered in advance by the Azure Flame Tigers and easily killed.

The lowest-tier Troops in the group were Tier 2, so they moved very quickly.

The journey of dozens of kilometers took just over an hour to cover.

Just then, Zhang Qiang suddenly said, "Boss Chen Hu, it is right up ahead. However, based on my detection, there is an additional type of new life particle, and they are all gathered together."

Hearing this, Chen Hu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"It is just one more Lord. What is the difference between 3 and 4? Killing an extra Lord will only allow us to obtain more points."

Chen Hu sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The other Lords said nothing, only staring ahead with grim expressions.

Ahead was no longer a forest, but an open valley.

The moonlight spilled down, allowing this group of Lords to finally see the scene in front of them.

"Such thick fog. How strange, does it get foggy even in the middle of the night?" a Lord said, looking at the deep gray mist ahead, a flash of surprise on his face.

"No matter. Just charge in. The thick fog will not only block our vision but also block theirs."

"If anything, this fog is more advantageous for us. We have Zhang Qiang, who has awakened the Scent talent; he can display his strength even better in this thick fog."

Chen Hu smiled slightly, not taking the fog ahead seriously at all.

"Heh heh." Hearing Chen Hu mention his name, Zhang Qiang chuckled.

The next moment, everyone stepped into the mist.

In an instant, all the Troops lost most of their vision, barely able to see a few meters ahead.

Fortunately, they had Zhang Qiang as a guide and did not panic.

All the Lords controlled their Troops and advanced steadily.

"Zzzzz!"

Just then, several Beedrills flew over from the distance, charging toward the group.

The vision of Chen Hu and the others was affected, but the Beedrills were not.

They were patrolling the area under Li Feng's orders and had spotted Chen Hu and his group from afar.

Even though the opposing side had over 200 Troops, these few Beedrills showed no fear at all and charged straight at them.

"Roar!"

As a Tier 5 Troop, the Azure Flame Tiger had the strongest vision.

When the Beedrills were still several meters away from the group, one of the Azure Flame Tigers immediately let out a low roar.

The next moment, it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of cyan flame, easily killing the few incoming Beedrills.

Even with the dual buffs from the Hero and the Castle, which raised the durability of the Beedrills by several levels, they were still no match for the top-tier Tier 5 Troop, the Azure Flame Tiger.

【Your Troops killed the Beedrill Troops, your Troops gained a small amount of experience, and you obtained Gold * 1!】

As the master of the Azure Flame Tiger, the notification sound of the will of heaven immediately rang in Chen Hu's mind.

"Haha, I did not expect that the Troops of one of these Lords would be the Beedrill, known as one of the three trashiest Troops. We've got this in the bag."

Chen Hu keenly caught the five words "Beedrill Troops" and could not help but laugh out loud.

Hearing this, the others also laughed along.

They instantly associated many things.

Being able to form an alliance with a Lord who possessed Beedrill Troops meant that the other three Lords certainly could not be much stronger.

Before this, everyone had been a bit anxious, fearing that among these four Lords, someone might have awakened Tier 5 or even Tier 6 Troops.

If that were the case, even if they could take them down, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

But now… all the Lords exclaimed in their hearts: It's in the bag! It's in the bag!
