8: Chapter 8: The Insect Nest Mother Cave, Lord's Information Released

Su Yang could not allow a nest of the Insect Swarm to exist around his base.

Once night fell, the activity of the Insect Swarm would intensify, and it would very likely pose a threat to the base.

Both the Main Base and the previously built steam pumps required copper metal for repairs.

If they were damaged, Su Yang had absolutely no way to fix them with his current resources.

Therefore, searching for carbon mine resources and the nest of the Insect Swarm were both top priorities.

To speed up the search, he reserved only 500 command points.

He poured the remaining 700 points into the Imperial Armor Camp to summon more soldiers.

【command points - 700】

This was the benefit of obtaining extra command points early on, allowing for more efficient task execution.

Under Su Yang's orders, except for the 3 Armored Elite Soldiers guarding the base, all other soldiers were dispatched.

They conducted a carpet search around the perimeter of the base and the area where the encounter took place.

The targets of this search had increased to two: carbon mine resources and the nest of the Insect Swarm.

Not long after Su Yang set out again, the Forbidden Ground panel popped up.

The information of the lords from the 68 participating countries appeared on the panel.

This was also one of the conventions of the Forbidden Ground.

Once all the lords participating in the trial had completed the establishment of their Main Base, the Forbidden Ground would disclose everyone's information.

This was crucial information for all lords.

Because, apart from alien species, the greatest threat came from lords of other countries.

Theoretically, the Forbidden Ground did not restrict the actions of the lords, and they were free to choose between forming alliances or confrontation.

However, due to certain mechanisms, killing opponents in the Forbidden Ground often yielded more rewards than forming alliances.

When killing other lords or destroying their territories, one would obtain all of the opponent's resources as well as the command point rewards issued by the Forbidden Ground.

When someone obtained an Advanced item or achieved an Advanced achievement, the Forbidden Ground would issue a bounty for them.

At this time, killing the target would not only grant their resources but also the high bounty from the Forbidden Ground.

Moreover, every once in a while, the Forbidden Ground would rank the countries based on their performance and issue relevant items.

The higher-ranked lords would receive more powerful items.

Under such mechanisms, the lords of various countries were almost naturally in a state of hostility.

To survive longer, one had to understand one's opponents.

While following the Armored Elite Soldiers in their exploration, Su Yang carefully examined the information of the lords from various countries.

These might all be enemies he would face in the future.

【Country: USA】

【Lord: MacArthur】

【Selected Civilization: Cold War USA】

The first one Su Yang saw was one of the most powerful future opponents—the USA.

Although the USA had few selectable eras in history, its strength was very powerful.

Combined with excellent development potential, they had already successfully passed two Forbidden Area Trials.

Moreover, the lord selected for this Forbidden Area Trial was the well-known American hawkish general—MacArthur.

Although Su Yang was not very familiar with this person, he knew he must be from a radical faction.

A powerful opponent, extremely threatening; Su Yang classified the USA into the first tier in his mind.

Afterward, he flipped through a large number of countries.

Bear Country, the England Empire, and the France Empire were classified into the same tier as the USA by Su Yang.

These were countries that were impeccable from their lords to their civilizations.

The remaining ones were classified by Su Yang into the second or third tier; their threat was slightly weaker, but they definitely could not be underestimated.

While Su Yang was quickly flipping through the remaining countries, his gaze suddenly rested on an eye-piercing term.

Japan.

【Country: Japan】

【Lord: Tojo Injin】

【Selected Civilization: WWII Militaristic Japan】

Japan, Tojo Injin, WWII militarism.

Seeing these three terms, Su Yang's gaze gradually became sharp.

During the WWII militaristic period, Japan possessed the most aggressive development route.

During the second Forbidden Area Trial, they eliminated a total of 19 lords, ranking first on the kill leaderboard.

They were a terrifying presence in the Forbidden Area Trial.

Moreover, besides an aggressive civilization, the lord of Japan this time was actually the former Prime Minister Tojo Injin.

A practitioner of extreme militaristic ideology, a War Maniac.

The combination of these two was simply synonymous with slaughter.

In Su Yang's heart, anger and anticipation were intertwined.

The anger was at seeing this civilization, which was laden with crimes, again; the anticipation was the hope of being able to take revenge with his own hands.

Undoubtedly, Su Yang also placed Japan into the first tier.

At the same time, he also ranked it at the top of his kill list.

After reading the information on the lords of various countries, Su Yang realized that this was the most intense of the three Forbidden Area Trials.

Wanting to achieve victory from the hands of this group of actual power-holders in reality, the difficulty would be unimaginably great.

However, facing these opponents, the confidence in Su Yang's heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Because the country he backed was called Qin, the most powerful era of the Huaxia Civilization.

However, if he wanted to recreate the glory of Great Qin, he himself could not make any mistakes.

Currently, he was the first to unlock an achievement, starting with twice as many command points as other lords.

He had to use this starting lead to do more things to widen the gap.

Closing the panel, Su Yang directed the Armored Elite Soldiers to continue moving forward.

What needed to be done now was to solve the energy problem as quickly as possible, and then establish a base defense System.

Only when the base was stabilized could he conduct rapid development and bring into play the advantages of Great Qin's technology.

Outside the Forbidden Ground, the information about the lords of various countries also caused a huge uproar.

The Forbidden Ground live broadcasts between various countries were not shared, nor could they be rebroadcast in any form.

The public could only know the information of other lords through the Forbidden Ground announcements or secondary reports from the media.

While the Forbidden Ground released the data of all lords across the entire territory, the media also quickly compiled the information and conducted pass probability predictions.

On the leaderboard, the USA ranked first with a media-predicted pass probability of 86.31%.

The second place was Japan, also possessing a high pass probability of 73.12%.

The top six countries on the leaderboard were in the high-scoring segment, all having a predicted pass probability of over 60%.

Following that was the middle segment, where pass probabilities hovered between 40% and 50%.

In this Forbidden Area Trial, there were a great many countries in the middle segment.

Because the Forbidden Area Trial had already reached the third round, all countries had accumulated a certain amount of experience.

As long as the selected civilization and lord were normal and they adopted official strategies for construction, the predicted pass rate would not be too low.

This time, the middle segment in the Forbidden Area Trial surpassed the low-scoring segment, becoming the segment with the most countries.

Therefore, this Forbidden Area Trial was rated by the media as the highest quality and most competitive trial yet.

After the middle segment came the low-scoring segment, where predicted pass rates were below 30% and major problems had appeared.

And Great Qin, led by Su Yang, was rated by the media of various countries as the country with the lowest pass rate in this Forbidden Area Trial...
