CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 237: CAN IT REALLY BE THIS TWISTED? (2.5/5)_3

"Perhaps this young boy could play a key role in some mission," Alina said with a faint smile.

She had little emotional investment in the fates of the characters within the instance. In her view, observing the fates of characters in the instance was like a player watching an NPC’s life; she remained completely unperturbed.

The two of them left the instance and arrived at a large encampment on the hillside.

Eight others had already gathered here.

Including Chen Mo and Alina, all ten leaders of the Rebel Army were now present.

Upon arriving, Chen Mo and Alina immediately scanned the other eight leaders.

Closest to them was a man in his forties, dressed in a black Robe. His face was somber, his gaze sharp, giving off an impression of ruthless coldness. This man was The Assassin Leader of the Rebel Army, specializing in assassinating enemies. His name was Adrian.

Next was a woman in grey leather armor. She had refined features and cold eyes that made her seem unapproachable. She was The Archer Leader of the Rebel Army, named Elizabeth.

The third was a tall man clad in red armor. His face was determined, and he emanated a strong aura of battle. He was The Warrior Leader of the Rebel Army, named Reck.

The next was a petite and delicate woman in a light green dress. Her face was lovely, with large eyes and a sweet smile. She was The Therapist Leader of the Rebel Army, named Lucy.

The fifth was a petite young woman in a purple dress. She had a pretty face and a gentle aura. She was The Mage Leader of the Rebel Army, named Eve.

Next was a woman clad in green leather armor, with a determined face and a strong physique. She was The Knight Leader of the Rebel Army, named Olivia.

The seventh leader was a man in a white Robe, with long black hair and a calm face, exuding a mysterious aura. He was The Priest Leader of the Rebel Army, named Ryan.

The last one was a woman dressed in black leather armor, with a graceful figure and a pretty face. She was The Thief Leader of the Rebel Army, named Lilith.

She was also the Chief Commander of the entire Rebel Army.

When Lilith saw Chen Mo and Alina enter the tent, she smiled and said, "We’ve been waiting for you two. We need to assign the attack routes now. There are three in total. Considering your strength, you should be able to handle one route on your own. Which one would you like to take?"

[The Heavenly Dao’s Hint: The first-tier main mission has been issued.

Please choose one of the three attack routes and complete the first subsection’s objective for the first-tier mission!

During this first-tier mission, ensure all ten The Leaders survive, or the rewards for this instance will be reduced.

Special Note: Chief Commander Lilith is a key figure in the Rebel Army. Her death would critically demoralize the Rebel Army, leading to severe negative consequences. You must ensure her survival.

If she dies, the rewards for this instance will be significantly reduced!

If more than four of the ten The Leaders die, this instance mission will be considered a failure. At that point, you will only be able to leave the instance after eliminating all intruders. Please pay special attention.]

After receiving The Heavenly Dao’s Hint, Chen Mo and Alina exchanged a glance and then looked at the three routes.

Essentially, there wasn’t much difference between the three routes, only that the enemies and battlefield terrain varied slightly.

Since their combat capabilities allowed them to adapt to various terrains, Chen Mo chose the middle route.

After all, according to The Heavenly Dao’s Hint, complications might arise on the routes to their left and right, potentially requiring their support. By choosing the middle route, they could provide assistance to either the left or right flank as quickly as possible should any problems arise!

Chen Mo pointed to the middlemost route. "We’ll take this one."

Lilith saw him point and immediately smiled. "The danger level on this route is the highest," she said. "I heard there are two Imperial Generals guarding this path, while the other two paths only have one Imperial General each. Are you sure you want this route?"

Hearing it was the most dangerous, Chen Mo and Alina became even more resolute in their choice.

"Alright, the middle route is yours then. The rest of us will divide into two groups and eliminate the threats on the left and right routes," Lilith declared.

Chen Mo recalled The Heavenly Dao’s Hint and remembered hearing at the outset that the Empire had ten Imperial Generals. He suspected that the middle route, guarded by two Imperial Generals, might not actually be the most dangerous. It was possible that more Imperial Generals were lying in ambush on the routes to the left and right, which only appeared to have one Imperial General each. However, the routes were now assigned, and they would have to deal with whatever came their way. Although they couldn’t use Teleportation, their Flying speed wasn’t slow. If the others truly encountered trouble, he could fly over quickly enough to assist. After all, these were the Rebel Army’s ten great experts; they wouldn’t be defeated so easily. The Heavenly Dao shouldn’t set them up for such a devastating trap.

With the routes assigned, Lilith entrusted an army of 20,000 soldiers to Chen Mo and Alina. She then personally led half of the remaining forces down a flanking route.

Before they departed, Chen Mo immediately cast Berserker Shield, enveloping everyone in a thick protective shield. This way, unless The Heavenly Dao had arranged some special means to harm them, they wouldn’t be injured.

After applying the shields and with the routes decided, Chen Mo and Alina glanced at the army assigned to them.

Although the ten The Leaders were nominally commanders of their respective professions, it didn’t mean that all soldiers in their units consisted solely of those professions. Only about a tenth of each unit comprised individuals from their The Leader’s specific profession. The other ninety percent were ordinary Imperial citizens. They had taken up arms to resist tyranny, their actual strength relatively weak. They fought fueled purely by passion!

After a quick scan of their attributes, Chen Mo paid them no further mind. These 20,000 soldiers wouldn’t even be a mouthful for his three million Skeleton Monsters; their presence or absence made little difference. Conversely, he realized these 20,000 people needed careful protection, lest The Heavenly Dao had attached some hidden mission to their survival!
