Chapter 937: Chapter 937

This time, a total of three hundred Tier 4 military branches, along with fifty Tier 5 branches—all with the Cold Ice Attribute—were an absolute counter to those Flame Giants. Du You did not lease out these troops but instead kept them to form a team.

Meanwhile, good news also came from the frontline: a large number of Flame Giants were converging towards their original territory. It could be said that if they won this battle, the Flame Giants would not be far from extinction.

Of course, it would not be feasible to truly wipe them out, as that would not be in their interests.

The academy would certainly keep a portion of them alive to reproduce, so that in the future, they could obtain Crystal Coins and treasures by hunting them. This was a method of exploiting and utilizing a world.

The Outer World constitutes a true world, which, unlike the Derived World, cannot be directly attached to a territory to extract the world’s power. The only basic way to tap into the power of the Outer World is through extracting it via a territory.

But the extraction through the territory is not comprehensive; there is a vast amount of power that remains untapped. At this point, it is necessary to rely on the world’s own powerful creatures to derive and then kill them to reap the benefits.

This is also a method for major powers to cultivate their own people after gaining control of the Outer Worlds.

This time, the world was brought under control by an inter-academy alliance consisting of the five major academies. In the future, students from these academies could freely enter this world as long as they complete some tasks assigned by the academies.

Students from other academies who wish to enter can also do so, but they would need to pay a certain fee, and the academies would assign them tasks as well. A lord like Du You, however, was different. Follow current novᴇls on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

If the entire world were considered a company, then a lord like Du You would be a shareholder.

The people who joined Du You’s territory would also be granted certain privileges. As for the specifics, they were quite complex, and Du You would not bother with these matters. That was for Li Minglu and the academy to calculate and discuss.

"How many Tier 5 Giants are there among the Flame Giants? Have they been counted?" Du You asked Xi Qianxue, who was at the front.

As a member of the student council, Xi Qianxue naturally had some understanding of these figures. Humans could not collude with Giants, so this information was directly made public, and those with some status were aware of it.

Without hesitation, Xi Qianxue said, "A lot. So far, at least three hundred have been discovered. It’s hard to imagine that just one of the five major Giant groups has so many Flame Giants. The troops we have brought are completely no match for them. If we rashly go to war, we might end up defeated."

In light of the current situation, Xi Qianxue was very worried but also somewhat confident.

"The academy still wants to continue the war despite knowing this news. I think they definitely have some other, unknown plans in reserve."

Du You nodded, "That’s true." It was not just the academy’s side that had plans, but his own as well. With the next month approaching, he would be able to deploy a hundred Tier 5 Cold Ice Attribute troops.

In the last few days, Director Wang showed no signs of worry, which likely meant he had a plan in mind.

A few days later, the month finally passed, and all of Du You’s military branch buildings were refreshed, restoring his forces. Without hesitation, Du You sent some citizens into training.

There was no choice—it was critical to save wherever possible, as Tier 5 branches were extremely expensive. If his own citizens could cultivate to Tier 5 themselves, then, perhaps, the price would be much cheaper.

Du You shook his head. Currently, he didn’t have the conditions for that and had almost paid full price to acquire these forces.

A day later, just after the recruitment of new branches was complete, Director Wang contacted him. "Du You, prepare to set out; the decisive moment has come." Du You nodded without objection and set out with his people to join Director Wang.

This time, the Capital Academy was going all out in this world; all forces were mobilized for this very important battle.

Even the other academies were now focusing all their attention on the Capital University. This was the first battle to destroy a major race in this world since they arrived.

Even some of their academy’s plans had been put on hold because of this. If they were victorious, their situation would be greatly improved. Even if Capital Academy did not deal with the other Giants, it would still exert tremendous pressure on them.

After winning this battle, Capital University’s reputation in this world would greatly increase, and the distribution of various interests would also lean towards them. Even when it came to controlling the world, they were bound to gain more Origin.

However, if the Capital University failed, they would face a complete collapse. Then, there would inevitably be more people sent here to handle the situation, and Capital University would lose face and substance.

Now, many were secretly hoping for their failure.

Similarly, through this battle, everyone could also gain a clearer understanding of the true strength of the Giants, providing significant help for subsequent battles. It also served as a preliminary probe on behalf of the other academies.

Marching at high speed, Du You and his group caught up with the main force in less than three days. The academy had been deliberately slowing down for many days before and had just recently arrived near the territory of the Flame Giants.

After catching up, exhausted, Du You, a Tier 4 interloper, felt fatigued.

"Welcome, with your arrival, our forces are now sufficient," the reception staff came out to greet them. As for Li Daxian, he had been secretly observing the Flame Giants and had just gone out.

"There’s no need for that formalities, just tell us the specific battle plan," Director Wang did not take over command.

The others exchanged glances and sighed in relief; they were genuinely worried Director Wang might misuse his position.

"Our plan is the quicker, the better. You rest for a day, recharge, and when Deputy Director Li returns tomorrow, we’ll launch an all-out assault. We’re very well-prepared this time, the likelihood of victory is over ninety percent."

That was an extremely high probability, with the remaining ten percent accounting for unexpected accidents.

"Good, let Li handle the planning. We’re exhausted from three days of marching," Director Wang said, and then arranged for all the people and soldiers who came with him to rest in the camp. The Flame Giants knew they were there but didn’t dare to attack rashly—they had not fared well in the previous attacks.
