Chapter 271

"Not good, Bloodsucking Magic Beast King!"

In the Dark City, a Little Devilmon flew into the room in a fluster.

Just as it entered, it was blown away by an inexplicable force, rolling into a ball directly on the ground.

"Th-thud..."

In the gloomy room, a handsome young man draped in a black robe walked out, a red eye patch on his face, looking down at the Little Devilmon on the ground with some dissatisfaction.

"What is it, why are you flustered in front of me?"

"Forgive me, Bloodsucking Magic Beast King, the matter is truly of great importance, that's why this little one..."

"Cut the nonsense, speak directly about what happened."

"Yes, this little one received news from the Digimon spying on the Server Continent side, discovering that the army belonging to Son Goku Digimon is gathering in the area facing our islands, looking like they are preparing to attack."

The Little Devilmon hurriedly reported the latest intelligence obtained.

"Hm?"

The Bloodsucking Magic Beast frowned.

"Did you find out clearly what Son Goku Digimon intends to do by gathering the army?"

He asked.

"What else could it be, Bloodsucking Magic Beast King, that guy Son Goku Digimon has always shouted that he is the Digimon King, this time he mobilizes the army, it's definitely to attack us, wanting to come challenge you, King."

Bloodsucking Magic Beast: "..."

As fellow Digimon Kings under the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, his relationship with Son Goku Digimon wasn't exactly friendly.

But because their territories faced each other across a strait, normally it was a situation of well water not offending river water.

However, what Little Devilmon said wasn't necessarily impossible; evolving from Ultimate Level to Ultimate Level is fraught with difficulties.

If that toy monkey coveted his data, gathering an army to raid him wasn't an impossible thing either.

As for why, it was because he himself had once thought about going to kill other Ultimate Level Digimon, absorbing the data of other Ultimate Level Digimon.

It was just that the risk was too great, plus the Dark Four Heavenly Kings were watching from above; exposing too much ambition would only bring catastrophe upon himself, so the Bloodsucking Magic Beast gave up on this dangerous idea.

The Bloodsucking Magic Beast held no hope for evolving into an Ultimate Level in the Digital World, but was researching the matter of going to the Real World.

Digression aside.

Although Little Devilmon's inference had no evidence, some things had to be guarded against.

In case Son Goku Digimon gathering the army really was to attack him, unprepared, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.

"Little Devilmon."

"Here, Bloodsucking Magic Beast King."

"Investigate clearly for me the reason Son Goku Digimon gathered the legion."

"Yes."

"Spider Digimon."

"Bloodsucking Magic Beast King, you called me?"

A fluffy spider with a huge skull pattern on its back descended on a silk thread from the spiral rooftop above, kneeling before the Bloodsucking Magic Beast, awaiting orders.

"Prepare to mobilize our army, tell them to be ready to meet the enemy at any time."

"Yes, Bloodsucking Magic Beast King."

"If there are any other movements on Son Goku Digimon's side, report to me again."

Just as Son Goku Digimon's act of mobilizing the army aroused the Bloodsucking Magic Beast's vigilance, a black cable silently extended into the depths of the Eastern Dense Forest like a swimming snake.

This moving black cable seemed to be searching for something, until when passing the Convenience Store watched over by Kongou Digimon, it swiftly drilled inside and connected with the telephone inside.

"Ring-ring-ring~"

The bell rang, no one answered, yet it kept ringing.

It rang for a long time before being discovered by Kongou Digimon who returned to the Convenience Store side in the evening.

"Why is this phone ringing?"

Kongou Digimon felt it strange, but still walked over and picked up the receiver.

"Magic Stone Magic Stone..."

"I'm looking for your Gluttony Beast King."

The moment the receiver was picked up, a mechanical voice came from inside.

"Who are you, why are you looking for our King?"

"Who I am isn't important, what's important is that Son Goku Digimon, incited by Giant Bird Digimon, has already mobilized the army preparing to attack your Dense Forest."

"What?"

"I can't discuss this with you, please help me contact your King."

As a Champion Digimon, Kongou Digimon knew of Son Goku Digimon; understanding the severity of this matter, although it didn't know why Son Goku Digimon would gather an army to attack the Dense Forest, it still immediately went to the Fruit Tree Manor side and found Broly.

Upon learning that a call regarding Son Goku Digimon news had suddenly come into the Convenience Store, Broly went to the Convenience Store together with Little Dog Digimon.

"Who are you, how do you know this?"

Arriving at the Convenience Store, Broly didn't speak proactively, just watched Little Dog Digimon answer the phone.

"You are Gluttony Beast?"

The mechanical voice in the receiver asked.

"I am not Gluttony Beast, but I am Gluttony Beast's most important partner."

Little Dog Digimon answered.

"I only speak with Gluttony Beast."

"What Gabumon means is what I mean."

"Are you Gluttonmon?"

"I am Broly, but the friends in the forest also call me Gluttonmon."

"Son Goku is mobilizing an army to attack you."

"We already know about this. When Garurumon came to find us, he already told us."

"I can help you."

Moleculomon said.

"Who are you? Why do you want to help us?"

Broly moved away from the microphone, letting Gabumon ask on his own.

"Who I am isn't important. You only need to know that Son Goku and I are enemies."

Moleculomon had no intention of revealing his identity. If Son Goku found out he had already recovered some memories, that would be bad.

"A guy who hides his head and shows his tail isn't trustworthy. If you don't make your identity clear, I'm hanging up."

However, Gabumon wasn't accustomed to this kind of guy. The Digimon King behind Garurumon might come looking for trouble — this was expected long ago.

"Fine. But if you want to know my true identity, you must answer me one question."

"Go ahead."

"Question: Gluttonmon, do you possess the strength to match Son Goku?"

Moleculomon asked from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this, Gabumon looked at the boy. The information "far ahead" popped into Broly's mind, and he replied: "I don't know Son Goku's strength, but I can be certain my own strength is absolutely above his."

"That's right. Broly is the strongest. No Digimon can beat him." Gabumon nodded, also speaking into the phone.

"Gluttonmon King, strong, invincible!"

Even Garurumon on the side bore witness.

Moleculomon: "..."

Strength above Son Goku?

He really dares to say that!

However, having this kind of confidence means the other party must also be a Mega.

【Hmm, worth a gamble.】

Moleculomon looked at the sealing barrier trapping him and reached this conclusion.

"In that case, I can tell you my real identity. I am Moleculomon, a Digimon once attacked by Son Goku..."

"Son Goku shattered my body, causing me to lose many memories. He sealed the broken me in the main unit of the Inverted Pyramid, making me act as his network management system..."

Moleculomon spoke of his grudge with Son Goku, but in describing the grudge he leaned toward himself, portraying himself as a relatively innocent Digimon.

"Coming to find you this time is because I don't want to see Son Goku continue persecuting other Digimon. Hmm, can I entrust the hope of defeating Son Goku to you?"

Gabumon hesitated, looking at Broly.

Broly picked up Gabumon, leaned by his ear, and said:

"I said before, if you need it, I will help you. So, whatever you want to do, just go do it."

Gabumon nodded, then said to Moleculomon: "I don't know if I can defeat Son Goku, but I will definitely stop Son Goku's attack."

Moleculomon's secret communication let Gabumon, Broly, and the others on the forest side have preparation. And when other Digimon learned of this situation, Digimon immediately expressed willingness to protect their home alongside Gabumon, participating in the upcoming battle.

"Mobilizing an army — turns out it was just to attack another Digimon King's faction. But what is Gluttonmon? How come I've never heard of this kind of Digimon?"

Piximon investigated the reason Son Goku mobilized the army. Upon learning it had nothing to do with the Eighth Chosen Child, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his curious nature made Piximon not withdraw immediately. On the contrary, he hid inside the Digimon army Son Goku mobilized, and stubbornly followed Son Goku's mobilized army to arrive in front of the East Forest.

"You guys inside the forest listen up. You injured my subordinate. Now come out and apologize to my subordinate Garurumon. This King can let bygones be bygones for you hurting him and slapping my face before!"

Son Goku arrived in front of the forest sitting in his mobile vehicle, a truck. But Son Goku did not directly order his army to launch an attack into the forest.

On the contrary, the first thing he set up was the car's speaker horn. When his lackey Gazimon asked the reason, Son Goku gave the strange answer "courtesy before force," which Digimon found somewhat incomprehensible.

"Then, Son Goku King, if the guys inside the forest really come out and apologize, do we really just let them go like that?"

Garurumon was somewhat doubtful. Making such a big commotion, mobilizing so many Digimon — could it really just be that Son Goku King wants to vent for himself? "Let the other side go, of course. As long as the Mega Digimon inside the forest is willing to acknowledge that I, Son Goku, am the only Digimon King of Server Continent, and bring their forest faction to submit and join under my, Son Goku's, command, then they can be let go."

Son Goku likes to sing but isn't an idiot. In the current situation where he's mobilized even his own army, it's definitely to decide life and death with that Gluttonmon King inside the forest, or determine who's superior.

The title of sole Digimon King of Server Continent isn't entirely blown out of proportion — part of it was also fought out by Son Goku.

"We attacked Garurumon because it attacked Numemon's village. So the ones who should apologize are you."

Facing Son Goku's speaker shout, the forest quickly gave a reply. The wrong Digimon was Garurumon, not Numemon. Gabumon absolutely would not submit.

"Ungrateful. Whole army, attack for this King!"

Son Goku was somewhat displeased, picked up the microphone, and issued the order.

"Roar—"

Monochromon and Megadramon roared. As the Champion elites in Son Goku's legion, they charged toward the forest first.

And following behind charging together were the Rookie main forces, the Gazimon legion, inside which were also one or two Tuskmon evolved to Champion.

Compared to frontal assault, these Tuskmon are more skilled at being assassins, specializing in that kind of behind-the-back sneak attack business.

"Intercept—"

These days, on Moleculomon's advice, the forest side had also made preparations.

Broly held the rear. Gabumon, as frontline Commander, commanded the forest's Champion Digimon to counterattack the invading Digimon legion.

And there's a saying: know yourself and know the enemy, and a hundred battles will not end in peril. In a situation only using Rookie and Champion Digimon combat power, Gabumon's side, because they had Moleculomon this insider who knew the enemy Digimon's intelligence, had long since laid many traps in the forest.

Even if the quantity of Champion and Rookie Digimon in the dense forest was not as many as the intruders who broke in, by relying on the large number of traps set up in advance in the dense forest, they still dealt a painful hit to the enemies who broke in first.

"Big stupid dragon, I'm here."

Palmon, evolved from Budmon, attracted the attention of a Megadramon, and after luring the opponent near the trap, crouched down and hid in the tree thicket.

"Come chase me!"

Palmon, evolved from Lalamon, then appeared on the other side; the Megadramon, unable to tell them apart, roared and chased after the Palmon on the other side.

And this played right into the dense forest Digimon's hands; as the ground beneath its feet suddenly collapsed, this big guy fell into the dug-out mud pit trap.

"Quick, smash stones!"

Numemon and some Baby Digimon stood up from the trees, then swung the sharp stones prepared in advance and threw them at the Megadramon in the pit.

"Roar—"

The Megadramon was smashed in pain, wanting to climb out of the pit, but because the pit was too deep, it simply couldn't climb out.

It spewed flames from its mouth, but due to the angle problem it fundamentally couldn't burn the Numemon and the others on the trees; on one side was a group of Champion disgraces and Baby Digimon, on the other side were Champion Digimon with astonishing combat power.

And yet with such a gap, after falling into the pre-arranged trap, the Megadramon was still hard-ly beaten to death with stones by a group of weak Digimon.

Data drifted out from the pit, and a group of Numemon and Baby Digimon directly cheered up.

"Don't be happy too early, there are still invading Champion Digimon in other places that haven't been solved."

The words are said like this, but this kind of place, the dense forest, is really too suitable for fighting guerrilla warfare.

Simple division tactics easily isolated the hostile Digimon who broke in from each other.

Either using traps, or using the advantage of familiarity with the terrain.

Establishing an advantageous situation of using more to beat fewer, eliminating the invading Champion Digimon one by one.

"Fox Fire!"

The wild Garurumon of the Forest Camp spewed blue flames from its mouth, bombarding a Tuskmon, and after turning the opponent into data, ignoring the surrounding frightened Gizamon, it rushed straight to another battlefield to help the Champion Digimon also of the Forest Camp, under the Gluttony King's Forces, solve the invading Champion Digimon.

"Bang bang bang..."

In the dense forest, ever since the war started, explosion sounds have been continuously ringing.

And not long after, a group of Gizamon fled out in a sorry state.

"Son Goku King, those guys in the dense forest are really too insidious, they set up a large number of traps..."

Gizamon reported the battle situation in the dense forest, making Son Goku's face darken somewhat; clearly the troops on this side were strong, but when fighting it fundamentally wasn't that matter at all.

And this is the importance of tactical command; when fighting large-scale battles, having command and not having command are two different matters.

Obviously, Son Goku's side is a situation of having no command to speak of; although the soldiers are strong and horses sturdy, they are a mob, and when facing the dense forest team with command, they directly collapsed.

"Truly a group of useless guys, Gizamon, have you all laid down the black cables?"

"Son Goku King, we have laid them down."

Gizamon hurriedly replied.

"However, they are only laid to the front half area."

Another Gizamon shrank its neck and said.

"This is also enough, let those wastes inside retreat out, this King will personally make a move."
