Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Holding Back the Beast Wave, Several Nations Established

The players were all talking at once, amazed by the soldiers’ performance.

Their greatest strength wasn’t just their combat power, but their discipline—orders were followed to the letter, and their teamwork was flawless. They could withstand the Beast Wave with minimal casualties.

"This is only the first wave of the Beast Wave. The Build a Country Beast Wave is bound to be much bigger. Maybe we’ll get a chance to join in," someone said hopefully.

Last time they helped The Chinese City fend off the Beast Wave, they’d gotten a ton of rewards.

This time, it was a country-building event. If they could help hold back the Beast Wave and the country was successfully founded, the rewards would be even greater. There might even be a chance to join the Montemar Empire.

The Universe Continent already had two major empires: the Haldrem Empire and the Heaven-Devil Empire. Anyone who joined their factions gained significant stat bonuses.

But in the end, these weren’t human-founded nations, and they only recruited the strongest.

Compared to those two empires, players were more eager to join the Montemar Empire established by Johnnie.

"The second wave of the Beast Wave is coming! Stage 5 and stage 6 monsters!" someone shouted, spotting a horde of monsters emerging from the distant forests.

Awoooo...

A chorus of haunting wolf howls echoed through the air.

This time, stage 5 Skyborne Demon Wolves and stage 6 Nether Blood Wolves had appeared.

The Skyborne Demon Wolves were flying monsters, making them the hardest to deal with, but The Chinese City had the Four Sacred Guardian Array, so these flying monsters couldn’t threaten the city.

Meanwhile, even more powerful monsters were emerging from the direction of the Dark Forest.

Stage 6 Demon Hunter Venom Spiders had shown up.

Without hesitation, Johnnie launched into another round of slaughter.

Whoosh, whoosh...

The sound of something slicing through the air echoed, as countless webs came raining down.

[Ding, you have been bound by webs]

[Ding, you are poisoned. Lose 10,000 Health Points per second.]

-10,000

...

Prompt messages popped up, and damage numbers flickered above Johnnie’s head.

"Another control skill!" he muttered, frowning.

He had never mastered a way to break free from control effects; priests did have a purification skill, but Sword Immortal and the Mage of the Five Elements didn’t have anything similar.

The poison effect didn’t bother him at all, and thankfully, the web’s binding couldn’t stop him from using the Art of Controlling the Sword.

A few flashes of cold light, and Johnnie quickly cleared out all the Demon Hunter Venom Spiders around him, breaking free from the webs.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Again, the sound of webs slicing through the air came, as another wave of webs blanketed the area.

Johnnie was ready this time. He unleashed Fire Control, sending flames roaring everywhere, instantly melting the incoming webs.

He had already mastered the Fire Element laws, and his fire magic damage was off the charts—these webs were nothing in the face of his powerful flames.

Fire raged all around Johnnie, and he completely shook off the threat of the webs. He activated the Cosmic Eclipse Blade, going on a killing spree.

One Demon Hunter Venom Spider after another fell to his attacks, and as he fought, his damage and attack speed kept increasing, stacking percentage buffs as long as he stayed in combat.

These Demon Hunter Venom Spiders didn’t pose any real threat to him at all.

Loot was scattered everywhere around him.

The Red Carp got busy again, excitedly cleaning up the battlefield.

[Announcement: Player Douglas has founded the Longwind Empire. The Beast Wave will arrive in half an hour.]

...

Suddenly, three system announcements rang out. Johnnie was caught off guard and almost got tangled up in a web.

Douglas—the Doe Family Ancestor.

The Doe Family was actually founding another country!

Then it hit him: Douglas must have killed a deity and gotten a National Founding Decree as a drop.

That guy was sly—he knew that if the Doe Family tried to found a country, Johnnie would definitely show up to sabotage things, so he waited until Montemar Empire was being established to make his move.

[Announcement: Player Snow Emperor has founded the Snow Kingdom. The Beast Wave will arrive in half an hour.]

...

At that moment, three more system announcements went off.

The Snow Family was also founding a country at the same time!

and reflecting a Western storytelling style:

Johnnie wasn’t surprised at all.

In his previous life, it was the Snow Family who founded the first nation, but things weren’t nearly as chaotic as they are now.

Back then, they barely managed to build a country in the later stages, but this time, they clearly did it much earlier.

It was probably because of his own actions.

[Announcement: The Mechanical Race has founded the Mecha Divine Nation. The Beast Wave will arrive in half an hour.]

...

Three more system announcements echoed across the Universe Continent.

This time, it wasn’t players, but one of the Universe Continent’s native factions.

"The Mechanical Race?" Johnnie frowned deeply. "Is the Mechanical Race really real?"

In his previous life, he’d heard rumors about the Mechanical Race, but he’d never seen them himself.

Apparently, the Mechanical Race was mysterious and powerful, but they rarely showed their hand.

Now, they had actually come forward and Builded a country.

Clearly, because of his rebirth, the course of events was no longer following his expectations.

The Mechanical Race founding a country meant they wanted to get involved directly.

"Is there any way to stop them?" Johnnie looked at the endless stream of Demon Hunter Venom Spiders pouring from the Dark Forest passage. Besides him, the soldiers from every warzone couldn’t handle these monsters at all.

"Looks like I’ll have to let Maiev and the others take action." Johnnie didn’t want these factions to succeed in building their nations.

Especially not the Doe Family or the Mechanical Race.

Although he never interacted with the Mechanical Race in his previous life, he was certain they weren’t the good guys.

Johnnie opened his friends list and sent a private message to Macbeth while fighting: "Do you know the coordinates of these newly founded countries?"

After quite a while, he finally got a reply.

Macbeth: "I don’t know the Doe Family’s coordinates. The Snow Kingdom is in Snow City, founded by Snow Emperor. The Mechanical Race’s nation is at Novice Village No. 33."

Novice Village No. 33?

Johnnie was taken aback. The fragment of the Map of Heaven and Earth he had was also in Novice Village No. 33.

Was that just a coincidence?

Macbeth: "Lord Johnnie, could you not go after the Snow Kingdom? Both Snow Emperor and I are willing to pledge allegiance to you."

Another private message popped up. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Johnnie thought for a moment, but agreed in the end. He replied, "Alright. Help me gather intel on the Mechanical Race in Novice Village No. 33, and also find the Doe Family’s location."

Macbeth: "Lord Johnnie, I know you’re strong. But I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop the Mechanical Race from founding the Mecha Divine Nation. I have people in Novice Village No. 33, and from the videos they sent, all of the Mechanical Race seem to be stage 7 or higher. I even sensed the presence of divine-level powerhouses. When they defended against the Beast Wave, it was a total massacre."

Are the Mechanical Race really that powerful?

Johnnie frowned deeply. He had suspected they were strong, but this was beyond what he had imagined.

At his current level, he could take on even a stage 9, legendary powerhouse.

But if he had to face a god or even a god’s avatar, he was nowhere near ready.

If the Mechanical Race truly had gods among them, this would be a serious problem.

One of the Map of Heaven and Earth fragments was located in Novice Village No. 33, and he absolutely had to get it.

The fact that the Mechanical Race was building a country in Novice Village No. 33 might also have something to do with the Map of Heaven and Earth fragment.

No matter what, he sensed that the Mechanical Race would be a huge obstacle in his search for the Map of Heaven and Earth fragments.

Johnnie: "Keep an eye on the Mechanical Race’s movements for me. And also, find out where the Doe Family is building their country."

Macbeth: "Got it."

Johnnie closed the private chat and continued slaughtering the endless stream of Demon Hunter Venom Spiders.

Wave after wave of Demon Hunter Venom Spiders fell before him, and as Cosmic Eclipse Blade’s passive triggered, his damage and attack speed kept rising.

It was effortless for Johnnie to hold back this Beast Wave.

But the armies defending the other city walls were taking heavy casualties.

Powerhouses from the Azure Dragon race, Black Tortoise Race, and Phoenix clan had to step in just to barely hold off the Beast Wave.

And this was only the second wave of Beast attacks; only half the time had passed, and the monsters that would show up later were bound to be even stronger.

Still, with Maiev and the other three deities present, as long as a group of divine-level foes didn’t show up, defending against the Beast Wave and building a country shouldn’t be a problem.

Time passed, and soon the second Beast Wave was nearing its end.

Ding!

Johnnie’s private chat pinged—it was Macbeth.

He checked the message right away.

Macbeth: "Lord Johnnie, something’s happening in Novice Village No. 33. The Mechanical Race is sending out an army of several hundred thousand, splitting into two groups. One is heading toward Snow City, the other is moving in the direction of your Chinese City."

Johnnie’s expression turned icy cold. He hadn’t even made a move against the Mechanical Race yet, and those guys already had the nerve to target Chinese City.

He was curious to see just how strong these mysterious Mechanical Race warriors really were.

Johnnie: "Did you find where the Doe Family is building their country?"

Macbeth: "No. My guess is they’re not on Universe Continent. I can’t say for sure, but I have people everywhere on this continent—if they were building a country here, I’d definitely know about it."

Not on Universe Continent? Could it be a hidden special realm?

Johnnie frowned. If they were building a country inside a hidden secret realm, it would be very hard to find.

The Mechanical Race’s army split into two, and they weren’t targeting the Doe Family. That probably meant they hadn’t found the Doe Family’s location, or maybe the Doe Family was colluding with the Mechanical Race.

Johnnie: "Can the Snow Family stop the Mechanical Race’s army?"

Macbeth: "I doubt it. The Mechanical Race’s army is led by two stage 9 legendary powerhouses, and the rest are all at least stage 7. Snow Emperor and his people don’t stand a chance."

Johnnie: "Alright, got it."

Johnnie closed the chat window. He wanted to help the Snow Family, but there was nothing he could do.

He could sense that the Mechanical Race wouldn’t be the only ones coming after Chinese City—at the very least, Haldrem Empire from the Dark Forest and the Heaven-Devil Empire of the Demonic Creatures would also be gunning for them.

Johnnie pulled himself back to reality and quickly wiped out the remaining Demon Hunter Venom Spiders.

"Red Carp, clean up the battlefield. I’m going to check on the other walls," he ordered, then flew off on his sword to the other city walls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous roars and the sounds of monsters echoed. Outside the other three walls, massive waves of beasts pressed in—mostly powerful stage 5 and stage 6 demon wolves.

The soldiers held the line desperately, suffering heavy losses as they tried their hardest to repel the Beast Wave.

Johnnie didn’t waste a second. He jumped right into the fight, killing mercilessly and taking the pressure off the soldiers.

"Johnnie guru is just insane!"

One of the soldiers watched Johnnie tear into the Beast Wave as if he were invincible, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

"The captain used to say Johnnie guru alone was worth an entire army. I didn’t believe it before, but now I’m sold."

"With Johnnie guru here, there’s no way we’ll lose the Beast Wave or fail to build a country."

"Don’t just stand there—keep fighting!"

...

All around him, the chatter continued, but the subordinates never stopped their attacks, throwing themselves fully into the battle against the Beast Wave.
