I’m considering things in the \"Elf Kingdom\" with a real-world mindset.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This game is so addictive, when you play it long enough, it really feels like another world!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve didn’t mind Li Mu’s small movements but continued to gaze toward Sandstorm City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was twenty kilometers away from the player’s camp, with almost no obstacles in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, as a True God, Eve could clearly see the activities of the Half-Beasts on the city walls, especially on the high Sandstorm Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also meant that the other side could clearly see the movements of the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without obstacles, the visible range at one hundred meters high was about 35 kilometers. Although the Half-Beasts’ eyesight was certainly not as good as a True God’s, standing on the Sandstorm Tower, they could still see the general dynamics of the player camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... the Half-Beasts surely already noticed the gathering of the elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, Eve observed that after detecting the players’ actions, the Half-Beasts in Sandstorm City, although initially panicked, quickly calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*To know that when the players first appeared twenty kilometers away, Sandstorm City was in complete chaos, and the city walls were even more of a mess, it took a long time for things to settle down...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*The players’ previous attacks were too ruthless.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*The merciless slaughter and plunder, along with the forced abandonment of faith, have left deep psychological scars on the Half-Beasts of the Death Desert.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*They never imagined that one day these seemingly harmless elves would become a presence they feared...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, it was a bit unexpected for Eve that this large-scale action by the players did not throw Sandstorm City into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had clearly suffered a defeat two days ago when their morale was at its lowest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This was unusual.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve murmured to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*In her heart, she already had some vague suspicions...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty kilometers was not too far and not too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for a True God, it was just a moment away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this distance, a True God could even sense large energy fluctuations nearby!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the players got close to Sandstorm City, Eve had been monitoring the energy fluctuations in that direction, also gathering intelligence about the city through various player channels...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it involved the activities of a True God, the momentum was generally not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Uller tried his best to conceal it, there would still be some traces left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve’s goal was to find these traces and thereby spy on Uller’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during these days, except for detecting a weak wave of Divine Power, Eve hadn’t sensed any other energy changes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the only time there was a Divine Power fluctuation, based on her own experience, Eve suspected it was probably Uller’s oracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the prior defeat of the Half-Beasts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that the Half-Beasts had not yet summoned a stronger presence in Sandstorm City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, that’s reasonable, as the Segis World was not yet fully open. At the current time, summoning an incarnation and Demigod Apostles required the continuous consumption of Divine Power to withstand the world’s rejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This consumption was not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short term, it was manageable, but if the power arrived too early, Uller would surely be overwhelmed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*After all, she was only a weak Divine Power True God and had sealed the nearby time and space, her own consumption was already terrifying.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Eve’s judgment was that only after the players formally attacked would the Half-Beasts pray for a summons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now seeing the change in the Half-Beasts, her thought changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She indeed hadn’t sensed any large energy changes before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Desert had been affected by the pollution of magic power, and under extreme weather, the whole desert’s magic power would become chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a sandstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since this was not under Eve’s control, once the magic power became chaotic, Uller could cover up the energy changes to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic power chaos would affect summoning, possibly leading to a failed ritual, but one place was an exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally... Sandstorm City had the largest temple in the Death Desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This all led Eve to have some conjectures:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beasts... most likely took advantage of yesterday’s sandstorm to perform the final summoning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely that the power at the Demigod Level already existed in Sandstorm City now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to confirm Eve’s suspicions, at the next moment, she saw the Half-Beasts move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beast camp under Sandstorm City also began to assemble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Eve saw the Half-Beasts in Sandstorm City mustered a grand army and left the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stirred something in Eve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assembling an army required time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beasts’ actions were not simply due to the players’ dynamic changes, but they had planned to gather their troops today anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, there was no longer any suspense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with strong reinforcements would the Half-Beasts have the courage to gather their troops and launch another attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Eve sighed softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The showdown... is about to begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she turned around and said to Li Mu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inform the other Chosen Ones to prepare for battle.
