Chapter 67: Demon Race, Dark Humans, Attacking Amidst Chaos
?
John heard blood-red demon wolf''s words but didn''t respond.
These powerful beasts were valuable allies in the early stages, and he had no intention of letting them leave.
Roar...
Roars and screams of the beasts echoed across the battlefield.
The tide of the battle shifted instantly.
Moments ago, the monster horde had the upper hand, but now, faced with these terrifying creatures, they had no chance.
Among the beasts, the weakest was at least a four-star rare boss. They easily handled the four-star monster tide.
John, standing on Avis''s back, drank mana recovery potions while casting his magic spells. Fire Rain, Earthquake, and Thunderstorm alternated.
His damage could no longer one-shot five-star beasts, but with the help of these beasts, many monsters still fell under his spells.
Notifications kept popping up as his Plunder talent continued to increase his four main attributes.
Even his hidden attributes were growing.
John was confident that after this battle, he would have the strength to kill a five-star rare boss.
The battlefield was chaotic. Countless beasts died under thebined might of John''s and the beasts'' attacks, unable to threaten the walls or the soldiers around them.
...
"No way!" Far away, Toby watched in disbelief, his shout full of anger.
Just a bit more, and me City would have been destroyed, but then those terrifying beasts had suddenly appeared from the forest.
It seemed these were the same creatures that had destroyed Gaia''s Imperial City!
Toby recognized the beasts, his teeth grinding in rage, but he dared not act recklessly.
These creatures were powerful, numerous, and capable of holding out until the monster tide ended.
"Sir, should we attack?" one of his men asked again.
Toby shot him a cold re, causing the subordinate to shrink back, terrified, and retreat silently.
He wanted to join the fight, but Godyer and his allies hadn''t yet reached a desperate situation. Making a move now would be suicidal.
The spectators were equally astonished, never imagining that anyone could fend off a fourth- tier monster tide.
This battle seemed destined for me Guild''s victory. As long as they held out for 12 hours, the city would be established.
Once the monster tide retreated, no one could stop them.
The various factions watched with a mix of resentment and fear.
Facing just Godyer was already a daunting challenge, but discovering he had such powerful beasts under hismand was terrifying.
This battle would undoubtedly cement Godyer''s reputation across the entire world of Gods.
On the city wall.
Soldiers watched in awe, utterly dumbfounded.
They hade expecting to fight, but after the first wave of jungle wolves, they hadn''t needed to lift a finger.
Even with the jungle wolves, Godyer could have wiped them out with a few spells if he had wanted to.
"Superior, are you not going to help?" Anna asked ck Turtle.
"No rush, they can handle it," ck Turtle replied, though his gaze was fixed on the depths of the forest, his expression serious.
He sensed several presences as powerful as the blood-red demon wolf, six-tier epic beasts. Dawn was breaking, and the monster tide attack was nearing its end.
Boom...
Suddenly, the ground trembled. From the forest came an overwhelming presence, matching the strength of the beast army.
"They''re here," ck Turtle muttered, turning to Princess Ada. "Princess, these creatures can''t hold on much longer. Judy and I need to step in."
Princess Ada patted Judy, her guardian dragon, andmanded, "Go. This city is the hope of the Gates Empire, it must not fall."
Judy let out a majestic dragon''s roar and charged into the battlefield, targeting the iing monster bosses.
Ssh!
A massive wave surged, flipping several monster bosses. The fourth-tier regr monsters were instantly killed.
Judy''s strength was undeniable.
ck Turtle, not wanting to be outdone, transformed into his true form and summoned massive meteors to rain down on the battlefield.
Boom boom...
The ground shook with earthquakes, and the monster horde suffered heavy casualties. "Seventh-tier beasts are truly formidable!" John couldn''t help but marvel at the sight.
It was fortunate that they had these two seventh-tier beasts; otherwise, they wouldn''t have been able to withstand the monster tide assault.
"It should be almost over," John observed, eyeing the clusters of monster leaders, all of which were rare fourth-tier bosses or higher, and even some sixth-tier epic bosses. If he could kill them, he would certainly be able to plunder a wealth of attributes, perhaps even
new skills or talents.
"We need to find a way to keep them here," he muttered, his eyes gleaming with determination. Surrounding himself with swirling magic, he unleashed a barrage of spells, ughtering the monster horde below.
Ding!
At that moment, his private chat buzzed. It was Ritchie.
John, puzzled, checked the message.
Ritchie: "Boss, we have a situation! There''s a massive army approaching from the east and
north of the city-Dark Humans and demon race!"
John''s expression turned serious, his brow furrowing. This sudden development was
completely unexpected.
Dark Humans and demon race were not part of the monster tide.
Especially rming was the fact that the Dark Humans were taking action.
He signaled Avis to fly higher, surveying the area around the city.
From two directions,rge armies were advancing rapidly-over ten thousand elite third-tier
demon soldiers and Dark Humans.
John wasn''t surprised by the presence of demon soldiers in Dark Forest.
What shocked him was the open intervention of the Dark Humans, attempting to disrupt his
city-building efforts.
This had to be the elite forces from Silverleaf City, the only nearby second-tier city.
"Can''t wait any longer, can you?" John sneered.
First, it was the public attack from the Jade City guards, and now Silverleaf City was sending a
large force to stop him.
The Dark Humans were viting the rules by attacking yers directly, but they seemed desperate to prevent John from establishing his city.
The demon soldiers posed an even greater threat. There were ten thousand elite third-tier demon soldiers, dozens of fourth-tier demon guardians, and a fifth-tier demon general,
equivalent to a rare boss.
John assessed the battlefield. ck Turtle and the other beasts were heavily engaged with the monster horde and couldn''t assist.
He was the only one who could stop the demon soldiers.
"Anna!" he called to the Elven Saintess on the city wall. "Lead the elves and hold off the Dark
Humans army. No matter what, protect the city."
"Don''t worry, my benefactor!" Anna responded confidently. She led over six hundred elite
elves to defend the northern wall.
"Avis, go help them," Johnmanded, patting the ck dragon before leaping down.
The elves were powerful, equivalent to third-tier peak bosses, but their numbers were limited, and they were mostly ranged fighters, making it challenging to hold off ten thousand
elite Dark Humans.
"Master, be careful!" Avis reminded him, pping his wings as his massive body soared to
support the northern wall.
John then privately messaged hie and Armstrong.
Godyer: "Ritchie, Armstrong, stay alert. The yers might take advantage of the chaos to
launch a sneak attack. Don''t let them invade our base."
Ritchie: "Don''t worry, boss. We''ll handle it from here."
Ritchie and Armstrong were eager, hoping the yers would dare to make a move. They had just broken through to the third tier, significantly boosting their strength. While they weren''t a match for the terrifying monsters, dealing with the current yers would be a
breeze.
After giving his instructions, John quickly moved to the eastern side of the city, ready to single-handedly hold off the approaching demon race army.
Over ten thousand demon soldiers, all at the peak of the third tier, were no match for him.
The only real threats were the fourth-tier epic demon guardians and the rare fifth-tier demon
general.
...
Roars and battle cries echoed around the city as a chaotic melee ensued. Everyone was
determined to hold the line, ensuring the city remained unscathed.
In the distance, Toby watched the scene with excitement.
The terrifying beasts, powerful elves, and that monstrous Godyer were all upied. Now,
only the members of me Guild were left defending the city.
This was their chance.
"Quiet!" Toby roared, stepping onto a makeshift tform. He surveyed the crowd and began
to speak slowly, "I am Toby Mike White, the next heir of the Mike White Family."
The surrounding yers, initially disgruntled, fell silent at his introduction. Their gazes turned to admiration and longing.
The Mike White Family, to ordinary people, was an insurmountable mountain, capable of
influencing entire nations.
Satisfied with the reaction, Toby continued, "me Guild''s Ritchie is arrogant, and that Godyer is a bloodthirsty killer. If we let them establish this city, our future will be bleak.
Now is our chance to overthrow me Guild and build a free and equal nation!"
The crowd exchanged nces, not fully convinced.
ims of Ritchie''s arrogance and Godyer''s brutality were just Toby''s words.
No one wanted to be used as a pawn by him.
Seeing theck of response, Toby''s brow furrowed. He pressed on, "All the spoils of this
battle will be yours to keep. Additionally, anyone who attacks me Guild will receive an extra 10 gold coins!"
The yers'' eyes lit up, instantly captivated.
Ten gold coins, equivalent to 200,000 dor, was a substantial sum. With nearly 20,000
yers present, it meant a potential payout of 4 billion dor from the Mike White Family.
The Mike White is a powerful family truly.
But what truly tempted them were the scattered pieces of equipment-high-quality third and
fourth-tier gear worth far more than ten gold coins each.
"Overthrow me Guild, build a free nation!"
"Overthrow me Guild, build a free nation!"
...
Someone started the chant, and soon, the crowd erupted. Without waiting for Toby''s orders,
the 20,000 yers, driven mad by greed, charged towards the battlefield.
They weren''t afraid of dying; getting their hands on just one piece of equipment would make
it all worthwhile.
