81: Chapter 81 Desperate Korea, the American Lord's Defenses Breached

"You?" MacArthur looked at the Korean Lord, the side of his face holding the cigar twitching slightly.

The Korean Lord nodded, wearing an expression as if his Divine Soul had been lost and he had no desire to live.

"Come on, buddy, where's your gun? Shoot it down, bang bang!" The Lord of India, who had a dispute with the Korean Lord, directly mocked him.

The other Alliance lords were amused to see the usually arrogant Korean Lord with such an expression.

However, out of lordly decorum and the US's dominant position, the other lords did not speak out like the Lord of India.

Su Yang felt heavy-hearted, desperately suppressing the corners of his mouth to hide his sadness.

He was glad that his side of the camp was as steady as he was, not mocking the Korean Lord who was in trouble.

"Hahahaha, are you trying to laugh me to death?"

"Before, you were 'Xibaxi-ba' with your guns, but now you can only 'Simisi-dada' calling for your mama-san?"

Before Su Yang could react, the Lord of Spain standing beside him directly launched a ruthless mockery at the Korean Lord.

Pfft—

Su Yang covered his mouth and lowered his head silently.

That was close, nearly lost control of his emotions. This guy was just cursing, why did he have to make it rhyme!

Elizabeth, standing to the side, turned her head with a look of confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Yang didn't look up, just waved his hand, "A bit sad."

Elizabeth understood instantly. Dragon and Korea were neighboring countries, so they probably had a deep friendship.

She immediately raised her hand to signal the Lord of Spain to stop the mockery.

Opposite them, the US Lord quickly regained his composure.

As the leader of the world's strongest nation and a two-time champion of the Forbidden Ground, he absolutely could not lose his composure.

"Even though the Heart of the Hive is difficult, it is just a normal landing zone. Since someone can survive there, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"Looking at you, it shouldn't be the Rank 1 zone in Spain. What Rank is it?"

He waved his hand to signal the Korean Lord to relax, looking nonchalant.

The Heart of the Hive was the highest difficulty area in the early stages, but the 'early stages' was an essential prerequisite.

Now, most lords had upgraded to Rank 2 Main Bases, and some had even completed their technology trees.

Therefore, they had long since passed the early stages, and the difficulty of the Heart of the Hive had already dropped.

Rank 1 was nothing to worry about, Rank 2 could be handled, and even in the worst-case scenario of a Rank 3 zone, his US troops could still win. Could he really not beat mere bugs?

Although the Heart of the Hive increased defensive difficulty, it wasn't a major problem for their Alliance.

As the Alliance with the fewest countries but the highest quality, their advantage in this round was absolute!

"4, Rank 4..." the Korean Lord said.

?

Doubt flashed in MacArthur's eyes.

"I'm a bit hard of hearing, can you say that again?"

"Rank 4."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, MacArthur suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, I request to kick Korea out of the Alliance."

"Ah, ah?" The Korean Lord was stunned.

[Request rejected. Current Alliance members cannot be changed.]

[Nations Hegemony Tournament ready. Global broadcast enabled.]

[First challenger lord: Argentina Empire, Mei You.]

[Landing zone: Howling Manor.]

"WTF! Did you hear what I said!" The US Lord pointed at the sky and shouted.

"How do you fight a Rank 4 Heart of the Hive! How can there be a Rank 4 Heart of the Hive? I request a re-verification of the threat Rank."

[Request rejected.]

"I protest, how the hell can there be a Rank 4 zone, I..."

[Protest invalid.]

[US Lord MacArthur has been muted.]

[Contestant lords, please prepare.]

Without giving MacArthur a chance to continue making a scene, the Forbidden Ground directly started the Nations Hegemony Tournament.

Su Yang patted his stiff face, and his expression gradually became serious.

...

Military Department high-level conference room.

At midnight, the Forbidden Ground broadcast started on time.

The screen displayed all the lords' information and their randomly assigned landing zones.

The officers and experts looked for Su Yang's landing zone at first glance.

"Wild Mountains! Isn't this our spawn point for the first round of the Forbidden Ground!"

"That's the one! I will never forget those damned werewolves!"

"Great, this time Su Yang must avenge us!"

The moment they saw the Wild Mountains, everyone in the conference room was filled with righteous indignation.

A month after the first trial, the Blood Moon event was triggered.

All the werewolves received a massive boost, and one wave of attacks completely destroyed the Qing Dynasty territory, causing Dragon to suffer its first natural disaster.

"Speaking of which, we were destroyed when it was exactly a Rank 2 threat level. At the time, the Eight Banners Army fought very hard. I wonder how the Great Qin Elite Soldiers will do!"

"The Eight Banners Army soldiers acted like they were high on something—couldn't hit anything from afar and couldn't win in close combat. The Great Qin Elite Soldiers have Imperial Armor protection, so melee combat should be no problem."

"The strongest thing about beastmen is the environmental buff they receive. As long as they don't get a boost, I think the Great Qin Elite Soldiers will definitely be fine!"

The General of the Military Department agreed with the experts' analysis.

Although they had only seen artillery and had not seen the Armored Soldier in combat, they had great confidence in this army that could contend with the Zerg.

"Holy crap! Korea hit the jackpot!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, and everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the Korean information.

[Lord: Korea, Park Daosi]

[Landing zone: Heart of the Hive]

[Threat Rank: Rank 4]

Huh?

Happiness came too fast, like a tornado.

The Expert Group looked at each other, not speaking, but their facial expressions were exceptionally rich.

As people of Dragon, their joy went without saying.

But out of humanitarian spirit, they shouldn't laugh at a situation that would cause national extinction.

The atmosphere in the conference room was eerily quiet, and everyone looked towards the General of the Military Department.

He shook his head helplessly: "If you want to laugh, laugh out loud. Humanitarianism doesn't apply to these things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room erupted into cheers.

"Those damn sticks, when we first suffered the disaster, they hypocritically sent condolences."

"The second time, they probably thought we were completely finished, so they didn't even pretend and held three days and three nights of celebrations nationwide!"

"Most importantly, they even sent an invitation to the General. This is simply not something a human would do!"

"These are just a bunch of dark cockroaches, who knows how many underhanded tricks they've pulled behind our backs all these years."

"Although it wasn't Japan that got picked, it's not bad to get rid of these guys!"

"Luckily Su Yang raised the Zerg threat Rank, otherwise, with the US interfering, it's hard to say if we could have finished them off this time."

"So satisfying! Rank 4 threat, unless they use the full strength of the Alliance, Korea is doomed!"
