Chapter 135 135: System notification
In the region of a rank B lord,
At this moment, Jankos led a group of people, along with many monsters, to eliminate the zombies.
For them, an event like this wasn't too difficult, even though the number of zombies they faced was over 30,000.
This number was three times the amount that Noan's region faced.
However, it must be noted that rank B lords exclusively ruled this region.
Unlike rank E or F lords, who could easily summon soldiers without using too many resources, except for a few lords like Caleb who had special troops.
But for rank D lords and above, it was completely different.
Not only was the 'cooldown' time for summoning soldiers very long, but the requirements for the summoning ritual were also quite stringent.
Among these requirements, energy essence was a must-have for each summoning ritual.
The higher the rank of the soldiers, the more energy essence was needed, and the quality of the energy essence couldn't be too low.
Even though the area was barren, these rank B lords, thanks to their unity, could withstand the terrifying zombie horde.
In fact, at this moment, Jankos was also leading a group of lords to eliminate the remaining zombies.
Since receiving the 'Shard of Fate,' which helped him evolve to rank B+, no one dared question his rise to leadership of this region.
Everyone followed his orders, and as a result, eliminating the zombies became extremely easy.
Jankos looked at the remaining zombies in front, feeling pleased inside.
He waved his hand and ordered: "I will eliminate those zombies. You check the surroundings."
Of course, everyone knew why Jankos wanted to personally deal with those zombies.
After all, this event was a point-based event, depending on the number of zombies each lord eliminated.
The more zombies a lord killed, the higher their score.
Jankos certainly didn't want anyone else to take his number one spot.
Therefore, whenever he saw zombies, he would have the other lords secure the surroundings, while he would personally eliminate the zombies.
Of course, he couldn't take all the points for himself, and the others also received a small portion.
However, it was only a small portion.
While eliminating zombies, suddenly, a notification appeared before him.
[Ding! Congratulations to the lord ??? rank E+ for ranking first in the 'Zombie Wave' event, receiving a Legendary Treasure Chest.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the lord ??? rank E+ for ranking first in the 'Zombie Wave' event, receiving a Legendary Treasure Chest.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the lord ??? rank E+ for ranking first in the 'Zombie Wave' event, receiving a Legendary Treasure Chest.]
The announcement appeared three times before him, mocking his efforts.
Jankos gritted his teeth, his hands gripping so tightly that they turned white, but his face flushed red with anger.
"Who the hell took my number one spot?!" Jankos mumbled, his eyes bloodshot, turning red with fury.
A moment later, another notification appeared before him.
[Ding! Congratulations to lord Jankos for ranking second in the 'Zombie Wave' event, receiving a High-Level Treasure Chest.]
BAM!
In a fit of rage, Jankos punched the nearby tree with all his might.
Though his hand throbbed with pain, the anger overwhelmed him, making him numb to the hurt.
What was the most humiliating thing?
He was a rank B+ lord, yet he was beaten by a rank E+ lord. What could be more laughable and humiliating than that?
Jankos gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fury. The killing intent radiating from his body made the surrounding lords avoid him.
They, of course, also saw the notification, so they knew exactly why Jankos was so enraged.
A rank E+ lord had taken the number one spot on the leaderboard.
If they were in second place, they would have been just as furious as Jankos.
Although the high-level treasure chest was great, in Jankos' eyes, that reward was nothing more than trash.
In fact, he even felt like the system was mocking him.
"I want information on the lord who ranked first in this event," Jankos gritted his teeth and said.
[Ding! The Lord has hidden their identity, and their information cannot be retrieved.]
"Tsk! That cowardly dog…" Jankos couldn't hold back his fury and cursed aloud, "Damn it! Hiding your identity? Hahahaha… hahahaha… I swear... I'll find you."
"A filthy dog, daring to take my number one spot. I'll show you what hell looks like."
…
In the region for rank D lords.
At this moment, in a small room, seven people were sitting around a round table.
"Did you all see the system notification?"
"Yeah, looks like we've underestimated the low-ranked lords."
"Huh! You all are so cowardly. The low-ranked lords can only deal with low-level zombies, so gathering points is easier for them."
"He's right. We don't need to worry too much. Even if that lord received a Legendary Treasure Chest, they're still just a rank E+ lord."
"Exactly. Don't worry, a rank E+ lord can't possibly compete with us."
"Don't get too arrogant. If that lord can top the leaderboard, it means they have something really special."
"Huh! A bunch of cowards. Are you all afraid of a rank E+ lord now?"
"You…"
"Enough!" A voice rang out.
Everyone turned towards the newcomer and immediately bowed their heads.
"Team leader!"
"Team leader Maisy!"
It was a woman in her thirties, dressed in modern attire, with an incredibly beautiful face, brown hair, and a seductive figure.
Maisy looked around before sitting down in the only available spot, crossing her legs, and folding her arms across her chest, raising two large, soft mountains.
"Everyone is correct, but what you're saying only shows one side of the issue," Maisy's alluring voice rang out.
A man spoke up: "Team leader, what do you mean…"
"My opinion is the same as yours," Maisy smiled and said, "You're right, it's just an E+ rank lord. They probably got to the top of the leaderboard by luck."
"Moreover, the quality and number of zombies in the areas for rank E and F lords are very low. It's perfectly normal for them to eliminate many zombies, so we don't need to worry too much."
"However, we can't be too complacent. If the opposing lord can top the leaderboard, it means they have a trump card strong enough to threaten us."
"Besides, that lord just received a Legendary Treasure Chest. We can't underestimate them, and we need to avoid the situation of being 'flipped over in the ditch,' understand?"
"Understood, Team Leader!" everyone replied in unison.
They were all quite satisfied with Maisy's explanation.
Maisy leaned forward, her two mountains resting on the table as she crossed her arms to support her beautiful and alluring face.
She glanced at everyone in the room with a sharp gaze and said, "So… about the information on the connected regions, can you all speak clearly on it?"
…
Back to Noan, he now saw that he had reached the top spot on the leaderboard for this event, which left him feeling puzzled.
He had thought that the leaderboard referred only to the 27th region.
However, everything exceeded his expectations. This leaderboard was for all lords.
Noan silently sighed in relief that he had chosen to hide his name. If he hadn't, he would have encountered a lot of trouble.
Although the system had displayed his rank as a lord, fortunately, in this area, both Caleb and Austin were E+ rank.
As for him, everyone probably thought his rank was F, so there would be little suspicion placed on him.
Moreover, Austin and Caleb both had his monsters, which were incredibly strong and capable of eliminating the 'Zombie Wave.'
That was also why people would suspect them more than a dead lord like himself.
What do you think?
