Chapter 65: The Game Has Only Just Begun (Please Follow!!)

"This kind of thing is just too terrifying..."

Standing atop the Giant Tree Outpost, looking at the nearly endless demons outside, the Knights gripped their weapons, deeply feeling Li Ang's foresight.

Yes, talking about morality or spirit with demons is completely meaningless. These monsters will neither understand nor empathize. They are not Human at all, and the transformed Chaos followers have likewise lost their qualifications as Humans. The greatest contribution they can make is death.

After Li Ang judged that Chaos corruption was incurable in its middle and late stages, and realized the problem with the Path, he ordered the majority of his forces to be transferred to the Giant Tree Outpost. He also issued a death order: the Giant Tree Outpost must not fall, no matter what.

At the very beginning, people did not understand why Li Ang made such a judgment, placing himself and the Landing Site almost nakedly in front of the blade of the twenty thousand-strong Chivalrous Expeditionary Force.

But now, everyone realizes that Li Ang's judgment was correct.

After the Chivalrous Expeditionary Force landed on the beach, both the Giant Tree Outpost and the Heavenly Fortress sent out distress signals. As the two major bridgeheads guarding the Stonehenge, they saw at almost the same time countless demons emerging from all directions like sea waves, one after another, attempting to breach these two nodes that maintained the Stonehenge's Defense Matrix.

Stonehenge itself has Li Ang to mobilize magic elements for suppression, but this would consume a massive amount of Li Ang's energy. If he were to fight head-on at the beachhead, it is very likely he would be ambushed by demons from the rear.

Therefore, Li Ang boldly made the judgment to move all mobile forces to the rear, leaving himself alone to confront the Chivalrous Expeditionary Force.

This is a very crazy act. Although it does ensure that Li Ang's energy can be concentrated on the battle as much as possible, no matter how you look at it, that is an army of over twenty thousand people. Can one person, with a bunch of puppets, win?

Everyone present felt some regret for why they had slacked off in the beginning. Demons are not all teleported out of thin air; most of them gather inside the Chaos Wasteland before arriving here.

If the Giant Tree Guard had followed their beliefs from the very beginning and continuously hunted demons, perhaps the situation would not have reached such a critical degree.

And now, just maintaining the defensive power of the Giant Tree Outpost has already made the living people present feel somewhat exhausted.

To support the frontline battlefield on Li Ang's side, they truly lack the strength to match their will.

"I only hope that there will be no danger for the Lord over there..."

Watching the demons crashing into the Life Barrier of the Giant Tree Outpost like sea waves, only to be killed one by one by the Giant Tree Guard blocking the gate, the Norscan said with some worry: "There are demons everywhere on our side and at the Heavenly Fortress; only the God-Given Plain is protected by us due to environmental advantages, and there is a group of people at the Landing Site responsible for acting as a reserve force, looking after those saved from the Chaos. Even if Lord Li Ang is a true god, he couldn't do something like this, right?"

"For him alone, along with some things he created, to resist the Bretonnia expeditionary force is still a bit too cruel."

"No need to consider these questions. If Lord Li Ang feels there is no problem, then there is no problem."

The Norscan on the side looked at the tragic scene outside and responded indifferently: "The news from the Heavenly Fortress is fine; those Spirit armies have been killing demons inside the fortress, and the magic reserves are also quite abundant. If Lord Li Ang thinks this is good, then just believe it."

"But that is twenty thousand people, not twenty thousand pigs. Even if Lord Li Ang has heaven-reaching and earth-shattering abilities, he also said that it is very likely he will be attacked by the dark gods, right? In that case, is it really possible that something could go wrong? Should we take a team to support him?"

"Our battlefield here is also very severe... but I believe that if it is Lord Li Ang, no matter what, he could never let the enemy break into the Landing Site."

The Norscan looked at their companion and said firmly.

With technology and Supreme Wisdom, the words and behaviors of these Norscans have also begun to become refined, and they have even started to think about and re-evaluate their past actions.

But the more wisdom they possess, the more they feel their sins are heavy. If they had followed what Li Ang stipulated from the beginning, with everything proceeding under his plan, perhaps there would not have been any problems from start to finish. But the more they have their own ideas, the more they will make mistakes.

Now that the demons in front are like sea waves, what exactly can be done to break out of the demon encirclement and, while the Giant Tree Outpost does not fall, help their King?

The Knights did not think, but calmly killed the enemy. And looking at the countless demon army before them, the Norscans could only calmly gather around the Holy Grail, thinking while casting their firepower at the demon ranks.

One person going to confront an army of tens of thousands, just for a better future.

How tragic is this? But at the same time, the situation on the main battlefield is not as tragic as the people at the Giant Tree Outpost imagine.

Or rather, it is the exact opposite.

"Mom!"

"Let me back on the ship! Let me go back!"

"I don't want to die here! I don't want to become a monster without a Soul! Save me!!!"

Collapsing at the first touch.

The carefully arranged defensive line was practically non-existent to the Pale Army.

More than two hundred pale giant beasts were like two hundred meteorites falling into a lake, instantly flipping the front row of the shield wall, and in the blink of an eye, smashing the soldiers and players blocking their path into meat paste. These monsters carrying Red Path long blades and having no Soul could cause instinctive terror to all life possessing a Soul; even the vast majority of people had no way to muster the courage to resist, and could only cry for their parents, screaming as they turned to run back to the ships, throwing the entire defensive line into disarray.

"Don't be nervous! Don't panic! Follow the training! The opponent only has two hundred people! Don't panic!"

Although the position was shattered by the impact, the battle-hardened Knight Joshua still adjusted back from his state of horror immediately, realizing the flaw of the Pale Army in an instant.

It is the number of people.

Their numbers are simply too few.

More than two hundred of the Pale Army, they moved slowly, with wide-open and wide-closing movements, crashing into the line like war machines. It looked as if destruction itself had descended. But in reality, the vast majority of deaths were not caused by the Pale Army.

What truly brought death was their chaotic lines, and the internal slaughter caused by extreme fear within.

However, just as Joshua was shouting with his voice full of temptation and the aura of glory, trying to reorganize the line, the largest monster in the crowd suddenly raised its head and let out a roar that shook the heavens.

"Joshua——!!!!"

That monster roared like a madman, its golden pupils turbidly reflecting Joshua's fit and sturdy body, roaring as it grabbed its weapon, suddenly leaped up, and smashed down at Joshua.

Can't dodge.

Although it felt like a long time, that blood-red light in the sky pinned him to the spot like a cage.

That supernatural means left Joshua only able to stare blankly as that massive body crossed a distance of dozens of meters, instantly smashing down in front of him, and then raised the scarlet Decapitation Sword in its hand high.

Eyes meeting, looking at that dim yellow gaze, which seemed like destruction itself, Joshua even felt his perception had come to a standstill. He was locked in place by some kind of power, some kind of ritual of rage. It seemed that from the void came a satisfied howl brought out by some massive bloodthirsty individual.

I am going to die.

With the Decapitation Sword of the Red Path reflected in his eyes, Joshua thought.

"You deserve to die!"

Gede roared, the blood-red blade whistling past.

But just when Joshua was in despair, in the void, he suddenly heard another, some existence he served, let out a soft laugh on this battlefield.

"Hehe."

In an instant, the red light of the sky twisted for a moment.

That pressure, which was hard to imagine in its magnitude, dissipated into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

Joshua felt that in that instant, his body was like shedding a layer of shell, instantly becoming supple and full of vitality, blocking the fatal blow of the Gede beast.

No, to be precise, he had shed his own shell.

"I... survived?"

What exactly had he turned into? Lowering his head to look at his slender arms, and his winding lower body like a snake, with scales and flesh and bone, Joshua subconsciously looked toward the previous position again.

That body, which had remained in place and been smashed into a pulp of flesh by Gede, was unexpectedly shriveled and shattered, as if the contents nurtured within this Human shell had finally broken free. The final snake tail swayed, and even when Gede hacked it into the ground with a sword, it only sent countless sparks flying.

He even felt that if he used his strength, overturning that giant beast would not be a difficult task? "Isn't this looking like a person of talent now? Joshua?"

Looking at the former Knight, now a demon, standing dazed in place, Li Ang smiled.

"You have finally become a form I can show no mercy to, demon. Our game has only just begun."
