112: Chapter 112 The Battle of Heroes!

Day 3.

Forbidden Ground, Goblin Mine.

Put-put-put...

The diesel engine of the motorcycle emitted an intermittent, twitching sound.

Tojo Injin sat in the sidecar attached to the Type 95 motorcycle.

This type of triangular sidecar motorcycle was very stable and was widely used by the Japanese army during World War II.

The driver rode the motorcycle, speeding along the uneven stone road.

Tojo Injin, sitting in the sidecar, jolted up and down with the vehicle.

Although the motorcycle's suspension System wasn't great, sitting on it felt like riding a rocking chair.

But this did not affect Tojo Injin's mood in the slightest.

Because by allying with the USA Alliance, Japan had successfully broken through the oil blockade.

Not only did he successfully upgrade his Main Base, but he also built a military factory.

Although the Forbidden Area Trial had no formal System classification, all Lords defaulted to a specific sign of entering the Middle Stage of development.

That was the period when a military factory was built and vehicles were summoned.

Once the trial entered the Middle Stage, the speed of development could not be compared to the previous days.

The appearance of vehicles and roads was a true turning point in the era.

With roads and vehicles, a country could achieve a resource extraction speed several times faster than before.

Not only would it have a larger exploration range, but it would also have a faster ability to obtain command points.

In the early stage, if a country fell behind in development progress, there was still a possibility of catching up.

But after entering the Middle Stage, this possibility would become smaller and smaller.

The earlier one entered the Middle Stage, the earlier one entered the rapid development phase.

The key buildings for entering the Middle Stage, the military factory and transport vehicles, all required a critical resource — oil.

It was precisely because Japan allied with the USA Alliance that it successfully broke the oil blockade and entered a phase of high-speed development.

This timing was definitely not late; they belonged to the first batch of countries to enter the Middle Stage.

And after entering the Middle Stage, the powerful combat capability of the Japanese warriors could play a huge role.

Tojo Injin was very confident; even if he entered the Middle Stage a step later than others, he could still overtake them with the combat power of the Japanese warriors.

Put-put-put...

The motorcycle reached a new node, and Tojo Injin raised his hand to lay down a section of Level 1 stone road.

Following behind the motorcycle was a column of Type 94 trucks.

The vehicle body was 5.3 meters long, with 6x6 drive, and one truck could transport 10-12 soldiers.

This was one of the best batches of trucks in terms of performance and adaptability during World War II, capable of transporting both people and resources.

Relying on these war beasts that once galloped across the battlefield, Japan would complete the mission of their Senior to achieve Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity!

Tojo Injin grinned; in truth, what really made him happy wasn't just the fact that Japan had entered the Middle Stage.

It was the combination of the fact that the Dragon Kingdom had not entered the Middle Stage while Japan had.

As for why he was certain the Dragon Kingdom hadn't entered the Middle Stage, it was because the Alliance led by the USA Alliance and himself would never provide oil to the Dragon Kingdom.

And there had been no news of the Independent Alliance forming an Alliance with the Dragon Kingdom.

The countries within their Alliance were all small and weak, not worth mentioning at all.

Adding all these factors together, the possibility of the Dragon Kingdom possessing oil, or rather sufficient oil, was minimal.

Even if they had some strange troop units in the early stage, so what?

Without sufficient oil supply, they would be forever stuck before the Middle Stage!

Just as he was lost in thought, the Forbidden Ground panel suddenly appeared in his mind.

[4 days remaining until the end of the third week]

[The event regarding Lord ranking this week is the Battle of Heroic Souls]

[Because it involves Hero units, this notification is being made in advance]

[All Alliances must ensure that their member countries have at least three Hero units before the end of this week]

[Starting from the seventh day, all surviving Lords will enter the Battle of Heroic Souls simulation battlefield]

[Each Lord will team up in the form of an Alliance, and each Alliance will engage in a Battle of Heroic Souls with every other Alliance]

[In each battle, both sides will send at least one Hero unit to command, and the remaining countries that do not send Hero units will provide troop support]

[After the battle ends, Hero rankings and Alliance rankings will be conducted according to the outcome of the war]

[The System will analyze the combat outcome, command ability, and strategic level of every Hero commanding the battle]

[After a comprehensive analysis, a Hero Index will be derived, and the System will Rank the top five Hero units of the week based on this index]

[The Lords corresponding to the Hero units will receive System rewards]

[The Lords corresponding to the top five will receive command points rewards, and the first and second places will receive special rewards and resource materialization rights]

[The System will also Rank Alliances based on the outcome of the Alliance war, and the Alliance in the last place will receive a debuff penalty]

[Note: The Battle of Heroic Souls will be broadcast live in real-time without interruption for all Lords and all citizens of the countries]

[Alliances will be randomly matched for battles; if no Hero unit is sent to battle, it will be judged as an automatic loss]

[After entering the Battle of Heroic Souls simulation battlefield, all units will be removed from the Lord's control, and Hero units will directly obtain command of all soldier units in their faction]

[Each Lord starts with 100 units of summoning points, the summoning points required for troop types are related to their Rank, and Lords will allocate the number of units to commit to each battle themselves]

[The Hero simulation battlefield will not result in death; all units that die will be transported out of the battlefield and receive healing (mental effects cannot be reversed)]

[The dark night is coming, good luck to everyone]

"Yosh!"

Tojo Injin was overjoyed, his eyes lighting up instantly.

Simply put, the Battle of Heroic Souls was a competition where Hero units from various countries led troops into battle.

As long as the number of Hero units in each Alliance exceeded the number of Alliances, the Forbidden Ground would trigger this event.

Japan had been a bellicose country since ancient times; it was a bellicose nation!

When it came to leading troops into battle, no one could be more valiant than the Japanese generals.

In the first two rounds of the trial, Japan's Hero units had achieved illustrious military exploits, gaining a huge advantage for Japan's development.

This was simply an event tailor-made for Japan; when the time came, Japan would sweep away the gloom of last week and restore its majestic style!

Tojo Injin laughed coldly; this week was truly his lucky week.

Not only did he successfully break through the Bottleneck and enter the Middle Stage, but he also caught the Hero event.

"The overall situation is about to be reversed!"

...

Battle of Heroic Souls!?

After reading the System notification, Su Yang felt slightly surprised.

He didn't even know that the Forbidden Ground had such an event before.

After digesting the competition information slightly, Su Yang turned his head to look below the city wall.

General Li Xin, who helped the First Emperor unify the six kingdoms, and General Meng Tian, who led an army of three hundred thousand to crush the Xiongnu.

Should he really let them command?
