Tungsten Copper Stronghold is located on the Tungsten Copper Mountains.
The Tungsten Copper Mountains are a large mountain range in this region, rich in tungsten-copper ore. Tungsten and copper are not considered high-quality metals, but rather a common auxiliary material for metal weapons. Fortunately, the Tungsten-Copper Tungsten Copper Mountains have a large enough output of tungsten-copper ore, which has enabled the development of the Tungsten Copper Stronghold.
Contrary to what the Fiend had said, the Tungsten Copper Stronghold did not recently become a bandit tribe; rather, they had always been a tribe with some bandit-like characteristics.
This area wasn't a major transportation route, Tungsten Copper Stronghold only occasionally robbed passing merchants, which is why they weren't directly labeled as "bandits."
This is a common practice in many tribes.
The reason they were directly labeled as a "bandit gang" is because the newly appointed leader, on a whim, stole a batch of Violet Light Pearl Mussel from the Mowo Clan.
The Mowo Clan wasn't a major power, but the Violet Light Pearl produced by their Violet Light Pearl Mussel were one of the raw materials for crafting Deathgod Golem. Crafting Deathgod Golem was one of the important sources of income for the Lord of Falling Rain City, so the Mowo Clan was essentially a subordinate of the Lord's subordinates.
The newly appointed leader of the Tungsten Copper Stronghold, unaware of this connection, had his source of income inexplicably cut off by the city lord of Falling Rain City, and was therefore directly labeled a "bandit gang."
Judging from the fact that the Tungsten Copper Stronghold is still settling here so openly, they haven't realized who they've offended, nor do they know that Fiend have come to suppress them.
"We've arrived at our destination. I wish you all a successful completion of your missions." This time, only one Highgod's recorder accompanied the Fiend mission. He spoke very politely, though this politeness was directed at the few Four Star Fiend.
The Fiend and the Deity-level who were testing Fiend didn't linger; they jumped directly off the hovering Metallic Airship.
More than eight hundred Deity-level transformed into streaks of light, rushing straight towards the "city" built at the foot of the mountain.
Perhaps it's because the Tungsten Copper Stronghold has been developing well recently; they have already built the stronghold into a sizable city.
A deep, urgent voice rang out. "Who issued the mission to attack Tungsten Copper Stronghold? I'll pay double!"
The five Four Star Fiend at the forefront charged without flinching or dodging, while Delisha and Anya, slightly behind, followed them towards the towering "palace" at the very center.
Three figures rushed out, and upon impact, a massive battle shockwave was generated, causing the palace beneath their feet to collapse instantly.
The two sides were temporarily separated. As expected of the leaders of a large tribe, the three leaders of Tungsten Copper Stronghold were all Five-Star Fiend.
Especially the slender man at the head; judging from Jason's attack just now, Delisha was about the same age as him before her breakthrough in Destruction Clone. Now that Delisha has only brought one Lightning Clone, she should be no match for him in a one-on-one fight.
"Let's watch for a while, and wait until those people taking the test have finished fighting before we go. Otherwise, directly 'hoarding' the goods would be too obvious and we'd easily get surrounded and attacked," someone reminded us.
Not only Jason, but all thirty Fiend wanted to stop and watch the battle between the strong, and the conditions just allowed it.
Those who participated in the Fiend assessment didn't have that kind of free time. This assessment cost 10,000 Nether Stone to register, and it was rare that this mission had a relatively high safety factor. If they missed it, the next one would be even more dangerous.
Suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted from the city halfway up the mountain, and colorful Divine Power burst forth, turning the city into ruins in an instant.
Jason had two clones. One clone took a moment to look at the battle below. It was mostly taking place around a lake surrounded by mountains. Clearly, the Violet Light Pearl Mussel were being raised in this lake.
Jason observed for a while and confirmed, "Although the Tungsten Copper Stronghold stronghold has more people, most of them are Lowgod, and the number of Midgod is less than eight hundred. The Fiend side will not have a problem winning, but the people in the stronghold will fight to the death, so the casualties will be greater."
Once someone leaves a tribe, other tribes generally won't take them in. Even those who become outlaws aren't guaranteed a place to stay, and their chances of survival are slim. So, except for those confident in their strength, most will fight to the death.
The battle between the Highgod is gradually becoming clear.
The three leaders are surrounded by five Four Star Fiend, along with Delisha and Anya, and are in dire straits.
It was obvious to everyone that among the Four Star Fiend who came this time, Cheryl, Johanna, and the other burly man were the strongest. They had the strength of Five-Star Fiend but just didn't have the corresponding star rating. The other two Four Star Fiend seemed to have been invited to help out, just like Delisha and the others. They were intentionally letting the other three have the lead.
As for Delisha, she intentionally concealed her strength, only displaying the power of Four Star Fiend. As for Anya, Refine Divine Spark, she could barely reach the level of Four Star Fiend thanks to her talent.
Just as Jason and the Fiend felt it was time to go down below and complete their mission, a sudden change occurred.
Two figures suddenly darted out from the nearly completely collapsed building below, rushing straight at Johanna in the midst of the battle.
The thirty Fiend watching from the sidelines saw it clearly, and some of them reacted quickly, shouting, "Watch out, there's an ambush!"
The Highgod in the midst of the battle reacted quickly, instantly sending two of them to block the attack.
However, the two Highgod who rushed out were extremely powerful. One of them suddenly accelerated and broke through the blockade of the two Four Star Fiend, while the other rushed through the gap!
Johanna immediately realized that the target was her, and a top-quality Deathgod Golem appeared in front of her, followed by a large bronze shield.
The attacker wore a mask and emitted five bolts of lightning, attempting to bypass the Supreme Deathgod Golem and reach Johanna behind him.
Johanna tried her best to dodge, and the Deathgod Golem also attempted to stop her, but a bolt of lightning still struck the bronze shield.
The lightning wasn't very powerful and was easily blocked. However, the attacker on the other end of the lightning seemed to merge with it, flashing to the other side in an instant and thrusting his spear, sending Johanna flying backward.
Upon seeing this, Jason exclaimed, "This is a profound fusion of three Profound Mysteries: the Conduction of Electricity, the Lightning Element, Electromagnetism!"
Just as the attacker was about to unleash a second attack, Delisha, with wings on her back and in the form of a "Thunder Angel," appeared behind him and slashed down with her sword, forcing the attacker to abandon his attack.
The other two Four Star Fiend were held back by the three leaders of the Tungsten Copper Stronghold and could not come to their aid; Anya knew that her strength was weak, so she relied on the two Four Star Fiend to support her.
Only Delisha, who had been hiding her true strength, had the ability to rescue Johanna.
"I am Johanna, daughter of Lloyd, the lord of Falling Rain City! If I die, none of you will have a good time!" Johanna shouted, not only trying to intimidate the attackers, but also to let the thirty Fiend in the distance hear her.
Upon hearing Johanna's shout, the thirty Fiend cursed their bad luck inwardly. It was supposed to be a low-paying One-Star Fiend mission, but this had turned out to be a disaster. The two attackers were at least Five-Star Fiend.
But Johanna cried out, and they couldn't just ignore her.
"Brothers, let's go!" Although the thirty Fiend were reluctant, they were fast enough that Johanna and Delisha were clearly no match for them.
Jason's Lightning Clone gained enlightenment, and the Death Clone retrieved it into its sea of consciousness and followed.
Jason glanced at Delisha, who was far less imposing than before, and sighed, "It seems Delisha was so strong before because of her other two clones. With just her Lightning Clone, she's at most a regular Five-Star Fiend."
