“Coming again?”
Having experienced the last special novice battlefield, Ye Zhongming frowned.
Although he had great confidence in his subordinates, it did not mean they were truly invincible. If they were to fall into a situation similar to last time where they were besieged, the chances of something going wrong would be extremely high.
Moreover, he was currently in league with Zizikaba. Normally, if there were such significant changes in the novice battlefield, he should have received prior notification, but now there was not a single piece of information coming in.
Naturally, Zizikaba would not betray their friendship, so this behavior could only indicate that there was pressure from above, forcing a change in the rules of the novice battlefield.
Fortunately, this time no one restrained fuleira from entering the battlefield, which was good news. Otherwise, one could imagine what kind of teams the dwarves would send to deal with the cloud summit faction.
Yao Han Su and Bei Yin also looked quite serious.
If the remaining cycles of the novice battlefield had proceeded normally as before, it would still be very difficult, but with the Cloud Summit Manor taking the lead, the overall situation would be decent. After all, the musk ke people were still wandering outside, and once they gathered, the strength of the cloud summit faction would significantly increase. Besides the Cloud Summit Quartet, there would also be Zhang Jia, who was slightly weaker than Cave Holder, joining them. In terms of high-end combat power, they would be somewhat reinforced and should not fear being targeted by other forces.
But now, that was not certain.
What seemed like a simple merging of zones and cycles had given others immense convenience to attack the cloud summit faction. Because after the merger, the low-level zones disappeared, and the lowest level prey was at the sixty zone, which was too dangerous for most novices. If they wanted to successfully hunt and continue to gain points, they could only find others to team up with.
Even so, the losses would still be significant. After all, they did not possess the strength of the Cloud Summit Quartet, which could serve as a spearhead to greatly distract their prey.
If everyone were in the same state, it would not matter much; they could fight it out and see who survived, as survival would depend on luck.
However, that was not the case now. The novice battlefield was still rife with politics; it was a microcosm of the relationships among the All Races of the Universe, and it also involved the distribution of benefits and various rewards for this year’s planet hunting grounds. No race would easily give up.
The existence of the cloud summit faction had already severely impacted other major clans.
Last year, Ye Zhongming had become the disruptor, causing the first title to slip away without belonging to the two super factions. This year, both super factions wanted to regain the first place. Coupled with the Tarros Red Dwarf, which had clearly shown an intention to play a more crucial role among the All Races of the Universe, it made several major forces eager to take action this time.
Without the cloud summit, they would attack each other. But now, with the cloud summit around, they were in a hostile state, and since the cloud summit had offended them, these people would likely gather the novices of their subordinate races after the merger and deal with the cloud summit first.
This would not only eliminate an enemy but also allow them to gain points from the cloud summit faction members. It was still fighting, and the points earned from killing a novice who had experienced several cycles would be far greater than those from regular prey.
As for whether the Lena People would help the cloud summit faction, that was a bit far-fetched. If they also united, neither the Tarros Red Dwarfs nor the Hall People would seek discomfort or attack them; they would be very safe and have no reason to wade into muddy waters. Moreover, the collaboration between the cloud summit faction and the Su Clan musk ke people was not weak either, and the Lena People might very well have ideas of reaping benefits as a bystander.
