I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

He looked around, his hand subconsciously resting on his belly.

Upon noticing something off, he promptly made a beeline for the restroom.

Zheng Cheng shook his head: “It’s a special DNA molecule called ‘Omnivore’. I have integrated it into your body, enhancing your stomach’s ability to digest anything in a short period.”

Zhuang Shuai’s eyes widened: “Does it really have that effect?”

“This is my first time using it.” Zheng Cheng shrugged: “How do you feel?”

“Um… I don’t feel anything out of the ordinary, it’s just that my stomach keeps making noises.”

“Gurgle…”

“It might take some time before it takes effect,” Zheng Cheng patted him on the shoulder, “If this doesn’t work, we could try laxatives…”

“No…”

Zhuang Shuai immediately scrunched up his face: “I think I’m fine as I am.”

“Suit yourself.” Zheng Cheng asked again: “So have you decided whether to agree to my previous proposal?”

“If you agree, you can cook all the corpses of the Alien Beasts and BOSSes left in our homeland, even the corpses of the Alien Beast heroes.”

“If you don’t agree, I will send you back to where you came from and let you fend for yourself…”

“There are Alien Beast heroes?”

Zhuang Shuai’s eyes lit up: “I accept!”

“Hehe… this is my first time cooking with the body of an alien race hero. According to our world’s classification, would these Alien Beast heroes be classified as professional members of the different races, this…”

“Silence.”

Zheng Cheng glared at him: “Just keep this information to yourself, don’t spread it around.”

“I understand, I understand.”

“You can go. I will get someone to take you back to my homeland. I await your good news.”

“No problem!”

After asking the Griffin Knight to take Zhuang Shuai back to his homeland, Zheng Cheng returned to his seat and started to review the documents in his hands.

Baker cautiously walked in: “My lord, have you decided?”

“Let’s go by your proposal. Let the main army stay here while we personally lead the elite troops to the mountain top!”

These past few days, through their surveillance, they have already gathered intel on the mountaintop.

Just as they had suspected, a massive Homeland Crystal resides on Black Tower Mountain’s peak.

But in addition to the Homeland Crystal, the entire mountaintop was crowded with various Alien Beasts.

The minimum star rating was the five-star Wind Mantis and Tank Earth Dragon.

Furthermore, there were countless Flying Thunder Dragons and Sandworms.

Especially the number of Flying Thunder Dragons. The area seemed to be its nesting ground, full of nests made from massive tree trunks, with plenty of young Flying Thunder Dragons roaming about.

His army suffered heavy losses in the previous fight with the Mosquito Fly Tribe, with a casualty rate exceeding 70%.

Meaning, the number of veteran soldiers he has is less than a thousand.

The Griffin Knights in the current army are mostly new recruits.

Even though they have the qualifications, they lack combat experience.

Moreover, the terrain of the Black Tower Mountain restricts the use of large armies.

The mountain top looked like a sharp point. The surrounding terrain was full of steep cliffs, making it inaccessible for normal ground troops.

Meaning, his Land Dragon Knights cannot participate in this battle.

Only the Griffin Knights.

Plus the rideable Giant Eagles, allowing the Mage Corps and some of the Shield Knights to participate in the war.

With these limitations, his fighting force was reduced once again.

There’s also one more critical reason.

His maximum unit count that can be protected by his Penicillin Parasite Body Shield is just three hundred.

Any more than that, and he wouldn’t be able to protect them.

So, he planned on organizing three hundred elite units to attack the peak of the Black Tower Mountain!

Zheng Cheng took a deep breath, “Let’s proceed with this plan.”

“Two hundred units of Griffin Knights, fifty units of mages, and fifty units of Shield Knights will attack the Alien Beasts on Black Tower Mountain’s peak.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Baker respectfully said, took a couple of steps then stopped suddenly: “My lord, this battle should be our final one on Jasha Island.”

“I hope you… take care.”

Zheng Cheng smiled: “Don’t worry, Baker. I’m not that easy to kill…”

“Hissss…”

Just then, a sharp, raspy noise came from outside the tent.

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed: “That noise… Yang Hou’er is back. Bring him in!”

“Yes, my lord!”

Baker quickly went outside and sure enough, off in the distance, a Two-Headed Flying Dragon was rapidly approaching their temporary base, a horde of Flying Thunder Dragons trailing behind it. Griffin Knights quickly engaged the Flying Thunder Dragons in combat.

The two-headed flying dragon descended from the sky, revealing Yang Hou’er and another figure.

A young man in black.

His face was somewhat pale, but he still looked spirited.

His ordinarily calm eyes now held a touch of shock.

“Exactly who… is your lord!”

Chu He!

The one Yang Hou’er rescued… was actually Chu He!

Yang Hou’er said, “You’ll know once you go in.”

Chu He nodded and headed towards the tent.

He didn’t hesitate and fully cooperated with the Shield Knights’ body search.

Soon, he met the man who had saved him.

“It’s you!”

Chu He exclaimed in surprise. He did not expect that the person who saved him was the novice he had interacted with only twice!

Zheng Cheng smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that you would still be holding on until now.”

Chu He quickly regained his composure and asked, “Why did you save me? We’re supposed to be competing against each other.”

“Competing?” Zheng Cheng said, “That ended the moment the beast tide began.”

“If I am not mistaken, there are only five other students left out of everyone in our secret homeland realm, including you.”

“Five? That many!”

“Many?”

Chu He nodded indifferently, “According to my calculations, no more than three people could have survived in the secret homeland realm. I didn’t expect there to be still five left. This is entirely beyond my expectations.”

“Who are the other three?”

“A fat guy, and two others. You will know when the time comes.”

Chu He nodded, “All very surprising.”

Zheng Cheng, interested, asked, “By the way, who did you think would last until the end?”

“Cui Xiabing, and you.”

“Me?”

Zheng Cheng exclaimed, “You actually considered me to be a possible survivor?”

“Why not?” Chu He glanced at him, “You are very strong, no, extremely strong.”

“You are no weaker than those nine-star Professionists from famous families, and I wonder how you got so strong?”

Zheng Cheng joked, “Maybe I’m also a nine-star Professionist.”

“I would believe it if you said you were a deity.”

“Alright, enough joking.” Zheng Cheng said, “Teacher Bai once said that you have a great talent in military strategy. I want to seek your advice on current situation.”

Chu He chuckled bitterly, “Military strategy? What of it? I still got crushed by alien beasts here. No matter how strong I am at strategy and trickery, it’s just a joke in a superhuman world where power is concentrated in individuals.”

“The strong can indeed shatter plots and trickery with a single punch!”

Zheng Cheng interestedly asked, “And your homeland?”

“It’s with me.”

“Awesome, just like that fat man who thought of running around with the homeland crystal.”

“Fat man? Who?”

“A fat guy, I’ll introduce you to him later.” Zheng Cheng said, “I’m curious how you survived, what about your soldiers?”

“They’re all dead.”

Chu He shrugged, “If things had gone normal, I would have been confident in reaching LV6 with my homeland. Unfortunately, the beast tide burst out all of a sudden, and I didn’t have time to develop.”

Zheng Cheng touched his nose, as if he didn’t hear anything.

“But even with the beast tide, I’m confident that I could hold up with my homeland defense and military command.”

“Unfortunately, I ran into a hero from the alien insect tribe.”

“Hero?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed.

In this world, he had already killed three heroes from the alien insect tribe.

Unexpectedly, there was still one more!

“Yes.”

Chu He nodded, “A kind of alien insect tribe’s hero with a golden armored body and circle-shaped wings.”

“He broke into my homeland alone and destroyed my defense with his absolutely powerful strength, killing all my soldiers.”

“If it weren’t for the flying squirrel suit I prepared at the cliff edge, I would have also died in his hands!”

“Flying squirrel suit?” Zheng Cheng sized Chu He up, “Your idea is truly ahead of its time. You actually escaped the hero’s chase with that thing.”

“It was just about hanging on by a thread.”

Chu He chuckled bitterly, “I hid in the forest with the homeland crystal and tried to recruit soldiers to rebuild my homeland, but unfortunately, it all failed in the end.”

“Until I met your subordinate… that Bipedal Flying Dragon Knight hero!”

He looked at Zheng Cheng again, “You really lucky to have managed to recruit a flying unit hero. It’s because of him that you became so powerful so quickly…”

Zheng Cheng did not explain, but continued to ask, “Alright, now tell me what you think.”

“I plan to lead the soldiers to attack the homeland crystal atop Black Tower Mountain, but there are too many alien beasts gathered there. Do you have a solution?”

“Do you know the specific situation at the top of Black Tower Mountain?”

“I have scouting guards who can monitor the surrounding situation from a long distance.”

“I see…” Chu He sighed deeply, “Can I know about your specific forces? Also, what were you planning to do before?”

Zheng Cheng drummed his fingers on the table, looking Chu He up and down.

Teacher Bai Bin had mentioned before that if possible, I should try to recruit Chu He into his team.

And the strategy for attaining the homeland crystal on Black Tower Mountain today will be a test.

“About one thousand five hundred Griffin Knights are under my command now, but only five hundred of them are veteran elites.”

“Besides them, I have one hundred seventy units of Land Dragon Knights, fifty units of wizards, and one hundred units of Sword Shield Guards, Heavy Armored Cavalry…”

“Wow… so many!”

Zheng Cheng shrugged, “The number of soldiers is indeed quite large, but it’s a pity that I can’t fully deploy all of them against the peculiar terrain of Black Tower Mountain.”

“Moreover, the top of Black Tower Mountain seems to be the nest of Jasha Island’s alien beasts. There are large numbers of Flying Thunder Dragons and Sandworms gathered there. I can only choose to sneak in and activate the homeland crystal as quickly as possible!”

“So, my plan is to unite a small number of elite Griffon Knights and wizards…”

A few minutes later, Zheng Cheng explained his plan in detail.

But he hid his own strength.

After all, in this plan, Zheng Cheng’s strength was the most crucial part, especially the performance of Blood Guanyin.

After a few moments of silence, Chu He looked at Zheng Cheng with a somewhat peculiar gaze.

It seemed… as if he was looking at an idiot.

Zheng Cheng asked in confusion, “What’s with that look?”

Chu He shook his head, “You… if I had that many soldiers, I would have been confident in clearing all the alien beasts on Jasha Island, not to mention the homeland crystal on top of Black Tower Mountain.”

“Oh?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up, “So, you have a better way to deal with the alien beasts at the top of Black Tower Mountain?”

“Yes.”
