Xu Yuan knew his monster army was outnumbered by the players of the Triumph Guild, but numbers alone wouldn't decide this battle.
If it were just an ordinary horde of monsters, the guild could indeed crush them with sheer numbers.
But Xu Yuan's monsters—they had Xu Yuan as their brain.
There was no way they could lose this fight.
Seeing his monster army taking shape, Xu Yuan's heart raced with excitement.
Maybe this was how Herobrine felt when he first built his monster army?
Xu Yuan couldn't help but daydream. (Same)
If he could one day create an undead legion like Herobrine's, this whole trip across worlds would be worth it.
But he wasn't even sure if creatures like Entity 303, Null, the Demon King of Fear, or Death Knights existed here. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
There was no point thinking too far ahead. He could only take it one step at a time.
Right now, his focus was on winning this battle decisively.
Xu Yuan looked at the monsters in front of him. The monsters looked back, as if awaiting his command.
Xu Yuan glanced toward the torch-lit field camp in the distance.
"Slaughter them! Leave no one alive!"
Night had fallen, and the players of the Triumph Guild had settled into their nightly routine of killing monsters.
The Footwork stalls, improved thanks to Xiao Po's tweaks, hadn't had any incidents since.
Players had completely let their guard down.
Inside each stall, they chatted idly to pass the time.
"Hey, Li Wei, you're one of the old-timers, right? Did you ever see that white-eyed monster? Is it true he looks like Big Boss Steve?"
"Not only did I see him, my little wolf pup actually scared him off! That monster… it's weird. It does look exactly like our Vice President, but those eyes are kinda creepy."
"Li Wei, that's awesome! No wonder our guild has so many wolves. That monster's never coming back!"
"Wonder when the boss will send us out to hunt it down. Bet it'd drop some awesome loot."
"Boss knows best. We just focus on footwork."
Li Wei was soaking up the newbies' admiration, casually boasting about his accomplishments.
But something outside the stall caught his attention.
"What's going on? Why hasn't any monster shown up?"
The new players with him also noticed this and shook their heads.
"No idea, none here either."
"Could it be there are just too many stalls now? Monsters can't get through?"
Li Wei shook his head at that.
"Shouldn't be. Just a few days ago, everything was fine."
Li Wei was puzzled. Then he saw players in the guild chat discussing the same thing.
"Is there something wrong with the stalls again? No monsters showing up?"
"Same here! Been waiting five minutes, nothing."
"Did we… run out of monsters on the plains?"
"No way… Probably some other issue. We'll wait for the boss to sort it out."
Seeing more and more players report the same issue, Li Wei couldn't sit still.
Being impatient by nature, he wanted to know what was happening.
He grabbed a shovel and dug out a small hole in the stall wall, peeking outside.
All around, outside the stalls, was just empty land, as if the monsters had vanished.
Li Wei squinted toward the plains in the distance.
And what he saw almost made him wet himself.
In the distance, he saw rows upon rows of red dots, flickering and slowly closing in.
They were too far to make out clearly, but he knew exactly what those red dots were.
They were monster eyes, hidden in the night!
The number of red dots was terrifying. Just in that one row, there were thousands!
And in the middle of this monstrous horde…
Two brilliant white lights glared from the darkness.
Just seeing those two beams of light, Li Wei felt a chill run through him.
He remembered those lights vividly.
A few days ago, he had locked eyes with that white glare.
That deadly glow came from the white-eyed monster's eyes!
"He's coming back!!…"
Li Wei stumbled, falling to the ground.
Seeing Li Wei's horrified expression, the new players were baffled.
Li Wei didn't bother explaining. He scrambled to open the hidden hatch below the stall and dropped into the tunnel below.
He sprinted toward the guild camp, shouting orders in the guild chat.
"All players with wolves, get your wolves and gather in the camp!!"
After that last incident, when the wolf pups scared off the white-eyed monster, Li Wei was promoted to a guild officer.
Xiao Po and the others had been actively catching and training wolves to counter the white-eyed monster.
They even set up a dedicated War Wolf Squad.
Li Wei was in charge of that squad.
Though calling it the "War Wolf Squad" was just a fancy way to say they were a bunch of dog walkers.
When players in the guild chat saw Li Wei's message, they were confused.
"Didn't Li Captain say to gather the wolf pups? Could it be that the white-eyed monster is back?!!"
"He dares to come back?! Doesn't he know how many wolves we have now?!"
"Perfect! Saves us the trouble of looking for him! This time, let's make sure he doesn't leave!"
The players knew the white-eyed monster feared wolves. With Li Wei urgently gathering the wolves, it didn't take much for them to piece it together.
Although they realized the white-eyed monster was back, none of them were worried. Some were even excited.
They were sure the white-eyed monster feared wolves.
The guild now had over a thousand wolves.
More than enough to tear the white-eyed monster to pieces.
By showing up now, the monster was practically offering himself up.
Xiao Po saw Li Wei's message and quickly had players in the watchtowers scan the area.
The recent calm had made them all lax. Most watchtower players were either watching streams or browsing forums.
Though there were ten players in each watchtower, none were actually keeping watch.
When they finally checked, though, the sight left them petrified.
"North tower reporting… reporting!"
"Enemy sighted in the distance… a lot of them…"
It was a good thing none of them had trypophobia; otherwise, they'd have had an episode.
In the distance, dense clusters of red dots swarmed toward them like a cloud of locusts.
The players in the north tower hadn't even finished reporting before the players in the east, west, and south towers sent similar reports.
"Same here in the east… tons of monsters! Easily over a thousand!"
"West side too!! Looks like about a thousand here as well!!!"
"South side as well!! At least one or two thousand!!!!"
Hearing this, Xiao Po was stunned.
"What's going on?! Didn't he get scared off last time? Why is he back again?!"
"Quick! Get all players back to camp! Gather the War Wolf Squad!!"
Xiao Po was shaken but still capable of thinking.
He pinned his hopes on the wolves.
After all, it was the wolves that scared the white-eyed monster off last time.
If they could pull off the same trick, they could drive off the white-eyed monster again, and the rest of the monsters would be easy to handle.
"Where's Steve?! Get him here immediately!"
After giving the orders, Xiao Po started looking for Steve.
Even though he was the guild leader, Xiao Po didn't have much in the way of command skills.
During the last battle, Steve's leadership had been impressive.
In times , Steve's guidance would definitely be more reliable than his own.
"Huh? The Vice President was just here. Where'd he go…"
"Maybe he's already at the command post?"
