Ling Ye completed the construction work on his end.
The battle at the Giant City of Vortex Gate 1 also concluded.
All the wild monsters inside and outside the city were eliminated without exception.
The Lighthouse, Maple Leaf, Australian, Monkey, and Maid nations' lords who attempted to seize and occupy the territory were also killed off by eighty percent.
The remaining twenty percent were fortunate enough to escape the Metal Storm and Apocalypse Terminator's firing range, barely clinging to life.
Of course.
They were able to survive entirely due to Ling Ye's mercy.
If Ling Ye had wanted to kill them, none would have escaped.
With the battle over.
It was time to continue earning big.
Warehouses, treasure chests, everything that could be taken was taken.
The islands within the 200-kilometer firing range covered by the Metal Storm were also thoroughly looted.
----------
Three hours later, Alice and the other girls reunited with Ling Ye at Undying City.
Ling Ye checked the time.
There were still 19 hours left until the official opening of the Vortex Gate passage in one day.
During this time, Ling Ye planned to return to Vortex Gate 2 and reunite with Su Xiaoyu and Han Lingshan.
Then, he would get some proper rest.
Striving to enter the Roland World Inner Sea in perfect condition.
But before that, he had to arrange the defense of Vortex Gate 1.
Although Ling Ye had already clarified his position to Build-a-Nation, Marx, and other Lighthouse lords.
And had given them a severe dressing-down.
That didn't mean they wouldn't cause trouble.
Ling Ye was an even more cautious person.
Naturally, he wouldn't be so carefree as to leave without any precautions.
One must always be aware of potential dangers.
Whether it's lords.
Or the wild monsters of the Death Sea.
Both could pose a threat to Ling Ye.
However, Ling Ye had the Metal Storm system with ten times the firing rate and ten times the range.
Which could minimize this threat.
Lowest threat doesn't mean no threat.
So, some people and legions had to be left behind.
There were a total of five Vortex Gates.
Gate 5 was assigned to Katyusha.
Gate 4 was assigned to Muhammad and Azam.
These two could just lie down and collect magic crystals.
The remaining three, Gates 1, 2, and 3, had to be fully managed by Ling Ye.
First, Gate 1.
It was closest to the Lighthouse Sea, and nearby were a large group of unfriendly nations such as Maple Leaf, Maid, Monkey, and Transvestite.
The risk factor and uncertainties were high.
Leave 1 hero and 10 million legions.
Ling Ye decided to leave Jona, her output was online.
The legions would be 10 million Apocalypse Terminators, with a 150-kilometer range, and the Metal Storm with a 200-kilometer range.
Forming a double layer of protection, perfect!
Next was Gate 3.
It was closest to the Japanese and Cosmic Sea areas.
The risk factor was second, so also leave one hero plus 10 million legions.
Currently stationed there were Clea and Alice.
Ling Ye decided to transfer Alice back.
Leaving only Clea, and 10 million Apocalypse Terminators.
Finally, there was Vortex Gate 2.
It was closest to the Dragon Country Sea area, with a higher safety factor.
Within Dragon Country, no one should be so blind as to oppose Ling Ye.
Otherwise, Li Longkai and the Longkai Alliance would be the example.
Therefore, only leave Alice and 5 million Apocalypse Terminators.
As for Su Xiaoyu and Han Lingshan.
These two were already the ceiling of the Blue Planet.
But they hadn't reached the point where they could stand alone, one person against an army of ten thousand.
Plus, after entering the Roland World Inner Sea, there were many opportunities waiting for the lords to develop.
These two should enter the Inner Sea with Ling Ye!
The task of guarding the Vortex Gate didn't need the two to participate for now.
Once the two become strong enough, Ling Ye would then send them to Vortex Gates 1 and 3 respectively.
By then, Ling Ye would be completely free.
He could just lie down and collect magic crystals.
With the arrangements made, Ling Ye led the people to withdraw.
Jona stood on the city wall.
Watching Undying City being swallowed by the vortex.
----------
Lighthouse Sea, Lighthouse Alliance.
Build-a-Nation looked at the five Vortex Gates on the Death Sea map that had already been occupied by Ling Ye, lost in thought, his face the color of excrement.
Unpleasant.
Very unpleasant.
Extremely unpleasant.
But there was nothing he could do.
The blonde secretary, Milia, hesitated to speak: "Alliance Leader, Vice Alliance Leader Anthony, who escaped Darknight's attack range, has sent a message..."
"Speak!" Build-a-Nation said.
Milia continued: "He said, should they leave the Death Sea first and return to the Lighthouse Sea?"
As the words fell.
A deathly silence ensued.
All eyes fell on Build-a-Nation.
The latter was silent for a full three minutes.
With a snap, he lit a piece of territory world tobacco.
Taking a deep puff.
Letting the spicy and choking smoke flood into his lungs, then slowly exhaling.
"Leave? Why leave?"
"In another 19 hours, the passage to the Inner Sea will open."
"Tell them to find a place near Vortex Gate 1 and wait."
"Once the passage opens, immediately pass through Vortex Gate 1 and enter the Inner Sea."
The Lighthouse Alliance executives looked at each other.
"The lords of the Japanese and Cosmic nations, as well as Maple Leaf, Australia, and Maid nations, have jointly boycotted the use of Vortex Gates occupied by Darknight."
"Are we... not joining?" A Lighthouse Alliance executive lord asked.
Build-a-Nation's gaze turned cold: "fuck you, join what join."
"Only an idiot would join."
"We have already been left far behind by Darknight, the Inner Sea is the only opportunity we have to catch up with Darknight."
Another Lighthouse lord retorted: "But using the Vortex Gate means paying magic crystals to Darknight, this is funding the enemy!"
Marx snorted coldly: "Funding the enemy?"
"But if we don't go in, do you know what that means?"
"It means we will miss all the opportunities in the Inner Sea."
"I have a premonition that the Inner Sea will definitely be the main place for lords to operate and obtain good things in the future."
"Therefore, we should separate the person from the issue, boycott Darknight, but not boycott the Vortex Gates occupied by Darknight."
Build-a-Nation nodded: "Notify the materials officer to send over the magic crystals and time scrolls, we will immediately mass produce troops and depart for Vortex Gate 1."
As an alliance bigshot.
The alliance has various resources in reserve.
Although in the previous battle, Ling Ye almost killed off all of Build-a-Nation and Marx's legions.
But!
As long as there are magic crystals and time scrolls.
The two can pull out a full-fledged legion in minutes.
Almost all alliance bigshots have this ability.
And what's different from Ling Ye is.
Their number of legions is limited.
The command value is there, no amount of resources is useful.
Ling Ye is different.
Unlimited population and command.
With magic crystals, there is no upper limit to the expansion of the legion.
Speaking of Build-a-Nation and Marx's views on the fact that Vortex Gate 1 was snatched away by Ling Ye.
They said they were very angry.
But angry as they were, they couldn't act on impulse at this time.
The top priority was to honestly enter the Inner Sea, develop the Inner Sea, and raise their strength.
Only by raising their strength.
Would it be possible in the future to snatch Vortex Gate 1 back from Ling Ye's hands.
Regarding the behavior of lords from the Cosmic and Japanese nations jointly boycotting Ling Ye's Vortex Gate.
Build-a-Nation called it an idiotic operation.
Seemingly tough.
But actually a fool.
Boycott? When the gap widens, you'll know what it feels like.
