World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

```

"If Pei Ma'er is really causing chaos, my Keywords awakening skill should be able to counter him." Guan Feipeng, who possessed the dignified Keywords, suddenly spoke up. He looked around at everyone and said helplessly, "But I don't know how to awaken my skill. Up until now, my honor guard hasn't had a chance to show its worth."

Honor guard?

Parade!

A grand scene suddenly flashed through Du Ge's mind.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

With wars raging everywhere, organizing a parade might have some impact, but it would most likely become a laughingstock. Who knows what kind of skill Guan Feipeng might awaken from that!

To hold a parade, at the very least, Luo Shuang would need to conquer half of the Chongming Kingdom.

"Forget about Pei Ma'er for now. The urgent task is to deal with Lin Qing." Du Ge looked at the imperial teacher and said, "Imperial teacher, your Way of Nature is most suitable for assassination. Are you really not confident in sneaking into Lin Qing's camp and killing Shen Yu?"

Every time Du Ge mentioned that his Way of Nature was most suitable for assassination, the imperial teacher's temples throbbed. Combining the serene and tranquil Way of Nature with sneaky assassination was too insulting for him.

But looking around the camp, no one was more suitable for assassinating Shen Yu than him. The imperial teacher smiled bitterly, "Before I got injured, I might have been able to assassinate Shen Yu, but now I'm afraid it's impossible."

"How many days will it take for your injury to heal?" Du Ge asked.

"At least seven days to move normally," the imperial teacher replied.

"Seven days!" Du Ge sighed and shook his head. "That's too long. We need to deal with Lin Qing quickly. Pei Ma'er has taken control of the Chongming Kingdom's court, and many Heavenly Demons will likely flock to him. Once he sends these Heavenly Demons to Lin Qing's army, we'll be in even more trouble."

"Exactly!" Gao Ming nodded. "Pei Ma'er is in his prime, and many will surely go to him. This battlefield is too difficult, full of talented people!"

As they spoke, the personal interfaces in front of everyone flickered again.

They all opened them simultaneously.

The top ten rankings had changed again.

Qu Liandong had disappeared from the top ten list. Wei Jiuchou, previously ranked eighth, had jumped to fifth place, while Yunyao had become fourth, and Ge Zong had moved up to tenth.

Du Ge looked around at everyone and smiled, "Alright, we have four people in the top ten on our side. We are the strongest force here. If we don't deal with Lin Qing quickly, more and more people will target us."

"Imperial teacher, your reputation should be much greater than Pei Ma'er's. Where are our people? They can't all be dead, right? How come we only have a few gathered here?" Xiang Li said unwillingly.

"Yes, by proportion, we should have at least fifty people left!" Ge Zong looked at the remaining five hundred people and complained, "What are these guys thinking? Are they afraid the imperial teacher won't take them in?"

Wu Chang shrank his neck awkwardly, pretending to be invisible.

Among the six people who had banded together, he felt too out of place as an outsider. He wanted to run but didn't dare, and he had to be very careful with his words, fearing that one wrong word would make him the next target.

Because of his mindset, his attributes had been dropping rapidly these past few days. Despite having the promising Keyword "Bravery," his ranking was now near the bottom.

"Maybe it's inconvenient for them to come over. Those who should come will come," Du Ge said nonchalantly, shaking his head.

The randomness of the Alien Star Battlefield was too great. Body Possession couldn't be guaranteed, and Keywords couldn't be guaranteed.

Even if a weak and inexperienced person knew about his location, it wouldn't be easy to cross thousands of miles to find him. Not everyone had a good master like Yunyao, who had reached the grandmaster cultivation level...

...

When it came to the Heavenly Demons, Luo Shuang, the imperial teacher, and others had no say.

After they stopped talking, the imperial teacher brought the topic back, "Imperial teacher, destiny is on our side. I think we can directly charge into Lin Qing's camp. Maybe someone will jump out to help us solve the problem. Besides, I observed the stars last night, and the Demon Star is growing stronger. Except for the Prime Minister Star, no other star can compete..."

At this moment, no one believed in Du Ge more than the imperial teacher.

...

Prime Minister Star?

Pei Ma'er?

No one else can compete?

Should I take a gamble?

Du Ge thought of his skill. Taking the initiative under favorable conditions had a high chance of success.

At worst, a few more people might die.

But as long as Shen Yu was exposed, he would be doomed.

The only reason he hesitated was his desire to protect everyone around him. But in war, how could there be no casualties?

As Du Ge was considering the imperial teacher's suggestion, a scout's voice sounded outside, "Report."

Du Ge said, "Enter."

The scout pushed the door open, saluted everyone, and said, "Reporting to the imperial teacher, just now, two groups of about a hundred thousand men each split off from Lin Qing's camp and headed towards Linyang."

"A hundred thousand men?" Du Ge muttered, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Cao Lin. "General Cao, give the order to assemble the troops. We're going to attack Lin Qing. The imperial teacher is right; destiny is on our side. If we keep fearing wolves in front and tigers behind, we'll only end up suffering."

"Imperial teacher, what about Linyang?" Cao Lin asked.

"Don't worry about them. A mere hundred thousand men can't take Linyang City," Du Ge said dismissively. "As long as Wei Tingjiang hasn't stopped the soldiers from cultivating, our troops should be able to fight two for one by now."

This time, Du Ge had brought only elite soldiers, focusing on mobility and flexibility. They assembled the troops and set off the same day, with forty thousand soldiers marching straight towards Lin Qing's camp at Luan Ridge.

Upon hearing that Lin Qing had split off a hundred thousand men, Du Ge suddenly realized.

Yes!

He had forty thousand men!

There was no need to use Lin Qing's method of luring the enemy with a grandmaster carrying Zhang Yizhi.

The imperial teacher and Liu Jun were injured, and the only grandmasters who could fight were himself, Cao Lin, and Gao Ming. Sending them to lure the enemy would be a waste, regardless of who got killed. Using a grandmaster to exchange for an unknown Shen Yu wasn't worth it!

But taking forty thousand men out for a ground battle would allow Xiang Li and Ge Zong to play their roles.

No matter who Shen Yu got hit by, his three thousand archers wouldn't be able to exert their power.

He had been overthinking it, trying to use Lin Qing's method to deal with Shen Yu.

With Ge Zong, his skill could allow forty thousand to fight two hundred thousand.

That was his destiny...

Even if Shen Yu wasn't controlled, forty thousand troops charging in would make it hard for his three thousand archers to find targets. How many could they kill?

Once the arrows were dispersed, their power would be diluted, making defense easier.

...

Lin Qing immediately learned of Du Ge's movements. He stood up, looking pleased, "It's working! He really thinks I split off a hundred thousand men to attack Linyang City? I did it to lure him here! What's the difference between thirty thousand against forty thousand and twenty thousand against forty thousand?"

He looked at Shen Yu, "General Shen, Leng Shi and the others are your responsibility. The rest of you, prepare to charge. Once Xiang Li and Ge Zong, who can affect minds, are dead, lead the troops to draw out Leng Shi, the imperial teacher, Yunyao, and others, giving General Shen the opportunity to kill a few grandmasters. With them gone, forty thousand men are nothing. Sect Leader Dou, Sect Leader Shi, your only task is to ensure General Shen's safety."

"Yes," the generals responded.

Only Shen Yu felt his mouth go dry. Looking at the confident Lin Qing, he silently cursed. The other side had four in the top ten, including the number one. Did you think I was a god?

Couldn't you wait for Pei Ma'er to send more people?

But the thought of possibly killing Leng Shi and jumping to the top spot excited Shen Yu a bit.

What if it worked?

Skills were unreasonable!

Killing four in the top ten would boost his attributes higher than Pei Ma'er's.

Then, who would be in charge would be uncertain...

Fortune favors the bold!
