Green Monster Epic

Chapter 807: First Victory

Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, the new power Alan controlled created a bizarre scene among the legendary powerhouses, as if he were invincible.

The humans he targeted frantically dodged and fled for their lives. A few melee powerhouses from classes like Shield Warriors and Berserkers, who weren't very agile or fast, gritted their teeth and desperately resisted.

Those who were sent flying with blood spurting from their mouths after a head-on clash felt relieved, at least they had saved their lives.

Sky Cleaver!

Alan didn't give them a chance to recover. Taking advantage of the humans' shaken spirits and morale, he charged straight into the enemy ranks, unleashing another ultimate skill. Instantly, he tore through dozens of meters of space again, the dangerous spatial cracks spreading like spiderwebs towards the humans.

Pfft!

The left leg of a human powerhouse was silently severed at the root, and blood sprayed from the clean cut. The human powerhouse didn't even bother to retrieve his severed limb, only wanting to escape this hell. However, the spatial cracks' immense suction and the surrounding spreading sharp spatial fissures made it difficult for him to move.

Whoosh!

A Furious Qi Slash came straight for his body. The human powerhouse raised his greatsword to protect himself, but the tremendous force sent him flying backward uncontrollably. At the same time, uncontrollable spatial cracks appeared in his path.

The human powerhouse unknowingly passed through the cracks. Just as he was about to gather his energy and flee into the distance, he glanced back and suddenly discovered half of a familiar-looking lower body slowly falling from where he had just stood.

At the same time, a sharp pain came from his waist, and a soul-chilling cold swept through his entire body. His consciousness fading, the human powerhouse finally collapsed and fell to the ground.

The ogre berserker who unleashed the Furious Qi Slash was in a great mood. After so many years, he had finally killed a being of the same level, although the greatest credit for this went to the goblin bear powerhouse who was like a god.

"Retreat!!"

The spatial cracks slowly disappeared under the effect of the natural laws, and with them disappeared the human powerhouses' previous steadfast fighting spirit and determination. Someone suddenly blurted out a word, and almost all the human powerhouses fled south like startled birds and beasts without a second thought.

The spellcasters led by Soja were quite righteous, and tacitly cast several large-scale, high-power spells to intercept the pursuing wilderness powerhouses, buying time for their companions to escape.

Alan passed straight through the magic network, and with a slash of his heavy sword, the anti-magic rune effect was activated, and divine power carved a path through the magic. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the dazzling magic.

Whoosh!

The divine power flowing through his body allowed Alan to recover faster from the burden his powerful ultimate moves, Instant Kill and Sky Cleaver Sword Style, placed on his body, shortening the cooldown time of his sword styles by more than half.

Another Instant Kill was thrust out from afar, but this time the spatial cracks produced were smaller, as if the natural laws had noticed the frequent appearance of spatial cracks in this space and had therefore strengthened the spatial laws of this area.

But this didn't mean that the power of Alan's Instant Kill sword technique itself was weaker. The moment they saw that deep black light appear, several spellcasters were greatly alarmed and activated space magic almost simultaneously, their figures quickly disappearing from Alan's sight, while several negative buffs, various magic scrolls, and items fell towards Alan's body.

The wilderness powerhouses who caught up later only saw a dozen or so black dots gradually moving away. Now, the wilderness powerhouses who followed Alan's lead stopped their pursuit when Alan stopped, halting a few steps behind Alan.

"Next…"

Yogg looked at Alan with envy, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty.

Every time he fought alongside this goblin bear, Yogg would always discover that the other party's strength had made significant progress. It was as if the obstacles and bottlenecks that filled other people's paths didn't exist for the goblin bear. This made the kobold warlock, who had a strong curiosity as a spellcaster, want to dissect Alan and study him.

"Let's go back and help end the war!"

Alan didn't intend to continue chasing. As the duration of the Frenzy skill expired, the configuration formed by the three energies that were not yet fully integrated collapsed due to the loss of balance, and the mental frequency that he had managed to reach returned to its original frequency.

With the divine power collapsing in his body, Alan was carefully savoring the state of entering mental resonance earlier, and naturally lost the mood to pursue the opponent.

However, Alan didn't reveal his true thoughts at all, and just made up an excuse to get by.

"That's right! We really should give these little ones some confidence!"

Yogg, Nicol, and the others nodded in agreement.

This newly formed army of the wilderness needed a victory to build their army's confidence and cohesion, so that they would have greater lethality in the larger and more intense wars to come.

This was also one of the important considerations when Aaron and Orson, the commanders, decided to launch this war. Of course, there was also the difference in strength between the enemy and us in terms of the literal numbers, as well as the opportunity for the opponent to actively abandon their defensive advantages, and other factors.

Although Alan and the others didn't fully understand the reasons for Aaron and the others' decision, they could still perceive the general key points. Therefore, after repelling the human powerhouses, Alan and the others didn't mind helping the wilderness coalition achieve its first victory.

When they returned to the intense battlefield, the wilderness army had already fallen into a disadvantage, and even the reserve army that Orson had scraped together in the rear had been投入投入, but they were still being pushed forward slowly and steadily by the human legion.

If Alan and the others hadn't returned to support, the outcome awaiting the soldiers of the wilderness legion would not have been too optimistic, unless Aaron and the others had other backhands in place.

When the commander of the human legion sensed the aura of more than a dozen legendary powerhouses returning from the sky, his expression changed greatly, and he unhesitatingly roared an order: "Send the signal, return to the castle!"

"The Granite Legion, stay with me to cover the retreat!!"

The human legion moved quickly, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than the speed at which the wilderness powerhouses were killing. More than a dozen powerhouses swept over from the sky, like killing gods, and smashed into the human legion, instantly killing the humans on one part of the battlefield.

In the past, when the human legion faced such a powerful attack in formation, with legendary knights sitting among them, they could at least barely maintain the stability and safety of the legion for a short period of time. However, at this time, the humans and the wilderness coalition had been fighting fiercely for a long time, and the stretched-out formation could only maintain the basic formation. How could they gather with their officers to act as a whole?

The heavy sword in Alan's hand was like a mountain, unstoppable. With each move, several human warriors coughed up blood and flew out, quickly clearing out the humans in one part of the battlefield and helping the wilderness soldiers stabilize their position.

Originally, after the Wildland Warriors had lost many companions, their innate inferiority was about to surface, causing Aaron and the others, who were constantly monitoring their subordinates' morale, to become secretly anxious.

It wasn't until the arrival of the Wildland Champions that a shot in the arm was given to the Wildland soldiers, instantly reigniting their flagging morale.

Coordinating with the dozen or so champions who were charging back and forth in the human army, constantly tearing apart their formation, they began to gradually whittle away at the human forces.

Aaron and the others weren't idle either.

Seeing the newly arrived reinforcements of a dozen or so champions plunge into the enemy ranks and trigger adjustments from the opposing commander, they quickly deduced the best course of action the enemy commander could take.

"Ao Cong, you go and join Yellen's heavy infantry battalion, flank them from the left, and cut off the enemy's retreat back to the castle!"

"Understood!"

Ao Cong gladly accepted the order and then led a team of men to break through the encirclement, retreated from the battlefield, detoured, and swiftly advanced to the left.

The situation of the human army was clearly unfavorable, but the lower-level officers were still able to勉力maintain the morale of the soldiers around them from collapsing.

Their strong resilience ultimately allowed the enemy's remaining forces of over ten thousand to withdraw from the battle and return to the castle before the Wildland pursuers could block their retreat.

Aaron and the others had tried to block the enemy's retreat, but the powerful impact formed by the remnants led by two legendary knight commanders was ultimately something that individual strength alone could not completely contend with, even for a demigod as strong as Aaron.

As the castle gates slowly closed, it meant that nearly ten thousand humans who were still being held back by the Wildland army outside the city were abandoned by their commander.

Piet, the human commander clad in golden heavy armor, was still fighting fiercely.

He had taken the initiative to stay behind with his personal guards to cover the retreat of the main force, which could be considered as him taking responsibility for his failed proactive attack.

Piet looked around with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with a hint of sorrow and grief.

He possessed legendary strength and could escape at any time, but unfortunately, his personal guards, who had followed him for many years, probably wouldn't have the chance to see the sun tomorrow.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A chilling whistling sound suddenly echoed in the air, and the sky, already dusky due to the prolonged battle stretching into twilight, suddenly flickered with a few points of orange-red light, though not very bright.

An aura of scorching heat began to permeate the air, and a powerful pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the battlefield where the human commander was located.

"Gather strength, rise!"

Several meteorites suddenly appeared overhead, streaking towards Piet with long tails of flame, while the surrounding Wildland warriors surrounded them, preventing his two thousand soldiers from escaping.

In the end, the human commander, unable to abandon his comrades, let out a loud cry, and then his aura was fully unleashed, with his subordinates gathering their strength and transmitting it to Piet through the aura.

"Open! Heaven!"

The human commander leaped high into the air, and a greatsword unleashed surging energy, the tiny human individual colliding head-on with the several massive fire meteors hurtling down.

Boom! Boom!

Piet was violently smashed into the ranks, sending more than a dozen human warriors flying, collapsing limply on the ground for a long time without getting up.

However, most of the fire meteors were deflected by Piet, causing chaos among the Wildland army instead.

As for the remaining human forces, only one fire meteor fell, and it was desperately blocked by a human high-level knight holding a shield, along with a dozen shield warriors.

Piet crawled out of the ground in a sorry state, his aura weakened, and traces of bloodstains remained at the corners of his mouth from the blood he had just spat out.

After confirming that his subordinates were safe, Piet disregarded his own injuries, raised the greatsword in his hand, and once again commanded his soldiers to break through the encirclement in a certain direction.

Even if these personal guards couldn't escape, Piet hoped that their deaths would be more valuable, at least allowing their families to benefit from the military merits they had earned, so that they could have a better life in the future.

A fire meteor deviated from its original trajectory and happened to crash towards where Aaron was.

Just as the surrounding Wildland soldiers panicked and fled, Aaron stepped down hard, propelling himself like a cannonball, holding Bone Cleaver in front of him as he charged straight towards the fire meteor.

Swish swish swish!

Just as the meteor was about to hit Aaron, Aaron swung Bone Cleaver with both hands, rapidly slashing out more than a dozen times.

Boom!

The two- or three-meter-diameter flame meteor shattered on the spot above the heads of the Wildland warriors, turning into a sky full of sparks, swept by the raging winds and flying everywhere, before slowly falling to the ground.

The other champions didn't have it so easy dealing with the fire meteors summoned by Yogg.

Each of them exerted all their strength to barely disintegrate the fire meteors, but fragments of varying sizes still caused considerable damage to the warriors on both sides, and the champions themselves were also covered in dirt and looked embarrassed.

The human army led by Piet suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, breaking through the encirclement amidst the chaos of the enemy just now, and the familiar city was faintly visible in the distance.

"Brave Rose Warriors…"

The battle-scarred Piet switched the effects of his aura while not forgetting to boost the morale of the remaining thousand or so soldiers, but before he could finish speaking, he sensed a strong crisis approaching, and immediately shook the greatsword in his hand, instinctively blocking in the direction of the incoming strong wind.

"Open! Heaven!"

Aaron's face was grim, and he uttered two syllables, clearly reaching the ears of the opponent in front of him and his brave warriors.

The blade of Bone Cleaver shimmered with light, and a dim energy blade broke through the sword's body and extended more than ten meters, then, under the powerful swings of the Kobold leader's strong arms, it slashed straight towards the remaining human army on the ground.

Boom!

Dust flew everywhere, rising from the ground in front of them, turning into a dragon-like wave of dust.

On the grassland not covered by smoke, there appeared deep cracks, the smallest being tens of centimeters wide and the largest exceeding two or three meters.

The thousand or so remaining soldiers who had been standing in place just now, when the smoke cleared, most of the warriors had disappeared, presumably buried in the almost overturned earth.

Boom! Boom boom!

Several more fire meteors fell from the sky.

This time, no one helped these brave human soldiers resolve the danger.

The human warriors, who had just escaped a disaster, desperately straightened their chests, supporting each other as they faced the meteors overhead, eventually perishing in the great power of the fire magic.

"Heh heh heh!"

Dragonblood Warlock Yogg floated over gleefully, smirking as he sought credit from Aaron, but how could Aaron not understand the little calculation in his heart to compete for merit?

However, in order to maintain the unity of the group, Aaron didn't care about these things, only glanced at the other party indifferently before telling them to quickly clean up the mess.
