Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2090: The Enemy’s Counterattack Finally Arrives

Just as Du You was preparing for a full-scale attack, the opponent’s counterattack was even faster than his.

Overnight, from all major territories around his city, troops were deployed, charging straight towards him. Leading them was an Elemental Lord, but he did not appear directly on the battlefield.

"Deploying troops from six directions simultaneously? It seems like, except for the rear borders, every place is mobilized. These guys are really crazy," Du You said, looking at the report, feeling quite pleased.

Because the enemy made the first move, it meant there was an excuse, and one shouldn’t underestimate the power of having an excuse. With this excuse, Du You could do much more and be even more excessive, and at that time, no one would dare say anything against him.

After all, in this world, he is also a Tier 7. In their view, it’s normal for a Tier 7 Elemental Lord, after defeating another Elemental Lord, to directly divide the territory under his name, becoming a new lord or even a king.

Although many with backers remain unchallenged, if challenged, they must abide by the rules. As for the opponent’s counterattack, that’s within the rules as well. But since they counterattacked, naturally, he can continue to attack. Even surrounding nations wouldn’t think he’s doing anything wrong.

This way, he could take advantage of this opportunity to collect more points and transform more Elemental Lords. Once his power is fully established, no one will be able to stop him.

As for why Du You didn’t fight himself, on one hand, he was bored and wanted to play, as he needed to wait for other Doppelgangers to advance faster than him. On the other hand, it was because Du You was observing this world.

This world is Tier 8, and he never believed there weren’t Tier 8 Element Creatures here. But he didn’t know where those Element Creatures were hiding, so he could only wait. If entangled by them, and the numbers were too much, it would be a real trouble. Besides, Du You was also experimenting, doing some special experiments in this world.

"The opponent’s Elemental Lord didn’t engage, probably because you acted in the beginning. Few know about the new Elemental Lord here, and we’ve controlled the information well; otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t dare to attack," Lin Yucha analyzed.

"For this attack, the opponent will probably deploy at least two Elemental Lords, but possibly three. The last one must stay to guard the Imperial Capital, so it can’t be sent out."

"What about other countries? Won’t they ally to help?"

"No, first of all, they all have hostile relations; at most, they would stab each other in the back. Secondly, these are internal matters of their country, and they care about their reputation, so they wouldn’t let others help. As long as our displayed strength doesn’t threaten the surrounding countries, they won’t form an alliance."

This is true. Recently, in this city, Du You and others have deployed a lot of Doppelgangers.

These Doppelgangers have been monitoring the entire city. Once any signs of treason are detected, Du You would immediately control them, turning them into Doppelgangers. These tasks are handled by the Doppelgangers and don’t require Du You’s attention.

But this control also means that news can’t spread from this city. That’s why despite frequent elemental fluctuations on the Elemental Tower, other nations know nothing about it.

Cutting off all contact with the outside, if the outside still knew what was happening here, it would be strange.

After all, relying on mere speculation, they could never guess that so many Elemental Lords would appear here.

"Forget it, let the Doppelgangers and the lords handle these matters, I’ll continue my research,"

Du You, as usual, would delegate major matters to the two sisters if they were present. If others were around, the responsibilities might fall on them instead.

In any case, Du You and his group remain idle whenever possible, always having their own things to do.

At the frontlines, due to the opponent’s attack, the places they had just occupied were taken back by nearly half. This was unavoidable, as they had no roots in this world.

Without the participation of high-level experts, ordinary forces are insufficient. Du You reserved all points for transforming Elemental Lords and hasn’t spawned Violent Soldiers in this world. Besides the original troops, only Du You’s Doppelgangers were left. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Fortunately, the situation soon turned around, as Doppelgangers set up layers of checkpoints, finally stopping those enemies. Du You created a few Doppelgangers that reached Tier 6, and with their control over power, they were much stronger than ordinary Element Creatures. Even a single one could outperform ten opponents on the battlefield.

When the defensive fortifications were completed, using the advantages of defense, they gradually started to hold back the enemies.

In the face of six simultaneous attacks, yet still being blocked, at this moment, the Heartfire Kingdom’s king was furious.

"Continue to increase troop strength, what are the people of the other major territories doing? Are they refusing to obey orders? Tell them, if they don’t exert full effort this time, they’ll have to face the consequences."

In this world, a king isn’t someone powerless. As a king, he’s essentially the founder of the nation. Even if not the strongest, he’s close to it.

The king himself is a Fire Elemental Lord, so when he speaks, no one around dares to defy him.

If they anger an Elemental Lord, it would mean ruin for their entire family. In this world, everyone is a servant or slave of the Elemental Lords, and as ordinary people, they of course understand this.

However, the hierarchy among Element Creatures is so strict, and even these transformed Element Creatures must obey the Elemental Lords. Whatever the Lords order, they have no choice but to comply.

"Very well, since everyone agrees, act immediately. Also, send in the two consecrated ones too. This time we’ll use three Elemental Lords, and we must take them down as quickly as possible,"

The king was determined. One of the most powerful cities had been seized directly, and this was a blatant affront to him. If this issue isn’t quickly resolved, it would be a huge blow to his prestige.

Other surrounding countries wouldn’t miss this opportunity to attack him either.

If those nations moved against him, he’d inevitably lose more territories. In this world, Elemental Lords have nothing else to pursue; territories and power are their greatest passions.
