Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the shockwaves subsided, only a few survivors remained on the battlefield. They were the lucky ones who had missed the attacks.

As the Evil Dragon Wings went berserk, the arena was quickly cleared.

Having successfully defeated two batches of Ancient Ironclad Beast, the progress increased to 10%.

Su Wan heard the prompt from the system.

“Are there only five or six squads of troops in the entire Land of the Old Ones?” asked Su Wan.

“Lords can only enter with two units, after all,” said Xu Yuan.

The Land of the Old Ones Ranking had been opened.

Su Wan was surprised. ‘Is there such a ranking?’

She became curious, opened the attribute panel, and discovered the new ranking on the Lord’s forum.

[Land of the Old Ones Leaderboard]

[First place occupies 5, second place occupies 3…]

Each Lord on the ranking had the option to challenge.

‘What does this mean?’

Su Wan clicked on it.

[Would you like to challenge the Land of the Old Ones, occupied by the Lord “Dragon Scale”?]

[Thirty-five people had already failed the challenge, and each land can be challenged a maximum of 100 times per week, with each Lord allowed to issue a challenge only once per week.

Irrespective of the challenger or the challenged, both will obtain the Land of the Old Ones Medal after winning.

The Land of the Old Ones Medal can be used to exchange for custom rewards (any item can be exchanged with Land of the Old Ones Contribution Points, including divine artifacts).

At the same time, the Lord occupying the Land of the Old Ones can set the challenge threshold, such as requiring the opponent to pay resources as a challenge fee. If the opponent fails, those resources will belong to the occupant.]

‘Hmm… it seems there are a lot of ways to issue a challenge in the Land of the Old One!’ Su Wan felt excited.

She tried to click “Confirm Challenge” but was quickly rejected.

[Cannot initiate a challenge without occupying the Land of the Old Ones.]

She was even more interested now in occupying the Land of the Old Ones.

The most attractive aspect was the special items produced in the Land of the Old Ones and the Land of the Old Ones Medal.

‘The merit that could be exchanged for anything…’

It reminded her of the old man at the Red Dragon Store.

The old man had a treasure. It was a divine Wishing Scales.

It had helped her to obtain a Contract Scroll to recruit Leona.

According to this game mode, as long as one had enough strength, Lords in the top rankings could even earn merit without much effort!

Under the constant attacks from other Lords, one needs to put in a lot of effort to protect oneself.

And the mode did not solely rely on overall strength but only looked at the strongest combat power.

For many Lords, this was a blessing. Even if some of the Lords’ territories were not strong, they might obtain stronger troops in this way. Such Lords must be quite numerous.

“This is interesting.” Su Wan was filled with anticipation.

She urgently needed the Land of the Old Ones Medal that could be exchanged for any treasure.

She already had two pieces of the Dark King Set, but she couldn’t find any information about the third piece.

Even if she didn’t find the third piece, she could still obtain other artifacts.

The speed of the army was faster than before.

In the next hour, they encountered several waves of Ancient Ironclad Beast continuously.

The progress rapidly increased to 50%.

After getting rid of the Ancient Ironclad Beast, they encountered a second unit in the underground space.

These units had four arms and were covered in blood-colored scales. Their lower bodies were that of horses.

They held swords and shields in their hands. They attacked fiercely, and their defense was exceptionally strong. They were even able to withstand the attacks of the Evil Dragon Wings.

Even though the Evil Dragon Wings were powerful, the strength gap made them feel immense pressure.

This encounter even forced Xu Yuan to use the Blessing of the Demonic Dragon to fight the monster named Ancient Trampier.

The encounter confirmed that they had entered into a deeper level of the Land of the Old Ones. The difficulty increased sharply.

As they continued to delve deeper, the number of Ancient Trampiers gradually increased!

The Rotten Knights were already quite formidable, but the strength gap with the Ancient Trampiers was too much.

There was also a difference in rank.

In this situation, even the Axe Crusher couldn’t easily tear the enemies apart.

Of course, this was relative to superhuman units. The Rotten Knights were still able to pose a deadly threat to the enemy, which showed the power of the Rotten Knights.

Xu Yuan originally didn’t intend to take action. But after the number of Ancient Trampiers reached two squad units, he once again used the Blessing of the Demonic Dragon and equipped the army with Dark Demon Armor.

When the progress reached 70%, they encountered the biggest difficulty.

In the blood-red light, many Ancient Trampiers were preparing to launch an attack.

There were at least over 2000 of them.

Su Wan was uneasy because the enemy’s level had already increased significantly. Moreover, they also had archers with ranged attack capabilities.

Not only did the enemies employ a mix of ranged and close combat, but their strength also far exceeded their own side.

Su Wan always relied on the quantity and quality of her army to crush the enemies, but this time, she understood what it felt like to be overwhelmed.

Compared to the enemy’s troops, her territory’s troops lagged behind in level and strength.

Despite the high level of her territory’s army, it was impossible to bridge such a gap-

She ordered the Dark Valkyrie to join the battle.

Due to the limited space, the Rotten Knights’ flying ability couldn’t be utilized. Xu Yuan could only choose to fight head-on.

The Dark Valkyrie hadn’t completed her transformation yet, so she was at the same level as the Ancient Trampiers.

The hero units had an overwhelming advantage when facing individual enemies.

However, when the enemy’s numbers reached a certain point, the effect was limited. Even top-tier heroes like the Dark Valkyrie couldn’t ignore enemies of the same level.

Xu Yuan didn’t hesitate and gave the command to counter-attack when he saw the Ancient Trampiers charge again.

“Kill them!” The Dark Valkyrie floated about ten centimeters above the ground and her eyes shimmering with a faint golden light.

The war blade in her hand emitted terrifying energy as she led the army forward.

Su Wan suddenly heard a familiar prompt.

[Current Land of the Old Ones progress detected to have exceeded 70%. Automatic live broadcast initiated.]

[Note: During the automatic live broadcast, Lord and Troop information will be blocked.]

This caught the attention of many Lords watching the exploration of the planes. They discovered a new live broadcast room with the title “Land of the Old Ones Live: currently at 70% progress.”

The automatic live broadcast feature was only available after the second chapter.

The difficulty of the Land of the Old Ones was extremely high, and the success rate was very low..
