Green Monster Epic

Deep within the distant Morningstar Empire, on the fertile lands of the central plains, an army was galloping at full speed, with dozens of various birds and human figures chasing closely behind, nipping at their heels.

Further away, flashes of golden light occasionally flickered, intertwined with crimson and silver-white hues, the violent magical tides clearly perceptible even from tens or hundreds of miles away.

Ahmad and several other legendary generals cultivated by the Centaur clan were galloping at the forefront of the army, the silhouette of a sizable town appearing at the horizon.

"Charge!!"

Ahmad roared, the centaur warriors beside him simultaneously drawing the javelins and lances from their backs, silently and resolutely galloping towards the target, constantly accelerating.

During the charge, the shepherds protected in the center of the formation, followers of Kerong, began to pray, waves of divine magic rippling through the centaur legion, each charging centaur warrior feeling the fatigue receding from their body, a surge of vigorous power welling up in their heart.

"Fire!!"

The not-so-imposing city walls came into view, Ahmad shouting loudly, having calculated the distance, immediately followed by the whooshing sound of countless javelins forming a dark line across the sky, finally falling upon the town ahead.

"Take cover!!"

Katon Town was neither a commercial metropolis nor did it have any significant production nearby. Although the town's population was over ten thousand, its defensive construction was a complete mess. The garrison commander, crouching behind the crenellations of the less than three-meter-high city wall, shouted sternly, issuing a warning.

"Ah~~"

The human army, having basically no war experience and only maintaining basic tactical drills, even though they clearly saw the javelins and arrows raining down from the sky, and even though they had received warnings from the officers, still had a considerable number of soldiers lose their lives in the first wave of attacks due to inadequate evasion or nervousness.

Swish!

Swish!!

Several more waves of attacks came whistling in, each wave reaping its toll. Listening to the cries of their comrades, the whimpers from their throats as they neared death, and the pairs of eyes gradually losing their vitality, many human soldiers felt even more fear in their hearts.

"Hold your ground!!"

"Think of your families, think—"

An officer shouted, cheering on the soldiers, trying to steady their minds, but unexpectedly, a tricky arrow bypassed the crenellations, curved in mid-air, and pierced his head, the arrowhead finally protruding from the other side, the human officer's body collapsing with a thud.

The sudden death of the officer once again triggered chaos among the human soldiers on the city wall. Although another officer bravely continued to shout, the less than four thousand soldiers on the wall had long been intimidated.

After experiencing several rounds of arrow and javelin fire, the city gradually descended into various riots, sparks of fire rising in every corner, accompanied by a clamor of voices spreading throughout the city.

Although the management of Katon Town had learned more than a day ago that a centaur army had appeared nearby and was very likely to choose them as their target, there was not much the town's management could actually do, not even mobilize the people to evacuate.

The management did not dare to leak this information, because they knew that if this news reached the ears of the common people, then before the centaur army even arrived, their entire city would already be plunged into chaos and destruction.

But the result of concealing this news was equally cruel. The people of the city did not know this heart-wrenching news until the centaur army appeared on the horizon and the bell tower in the city center rang the urgent alarm.

With the city gates tightly closed, it was impossible for the people to escape. Subsequently, desperate and panicked humans began to vent their negative emotions, engaging in looting, arson, and inciting their companions to attack the city lord's castle, all in order to get the city administrators to open a passage for them to escape.

But how could these ordinary people understand that even if they had been allowed to escape a day earlier, what difference would it have made? Could they, dragging their families with them, outrun four legs with just two?

The fate of countless cities told the city management that what these invading enemies sought was never so-called wealth or resources, but simply destruction and slaughter.

"Charge up!!"

The low city walls might have been useful against ordinary, ragtag armies, but against a powerful centaur army, these less than three-meter-high walls didn't even require any specially prepared climbing equipment. With their four hooves scrambling a few steps on the rough wall surface, the centaurs charging at the front easily scaled the wall.

"Stand up!! Pick up your weapons and fight back! We absolutely cannot let them climb up!!"

Brave human officers and soldiers began to rise, waving the weapons in their hands to force back the centaurs who were climbing or had already climbed up but had not yet gained a foothold, while shouting at their trembling human comrades on the wall, trying to ignite their fighting spirit.

Boom!!

Under Ahmad's sword, the heavy city gate shattered, and more centaur warriors followed the passage opened by Ahmad, quickly advancing into the city, another ruthless massacre unfolding once again.

Kerong's incarnation galloped freely in the sky, constantly changing the rules within a few miles radius using his own authority and domain abilities. The air barrier seemed to no longer exist in front of him. Without sonic booms or magical shocks, his figure could instantly cross a thousand meters. One moment, the opponent was still firing a javelin from afar; the next moment, just as the javelin approached the target, and as the opponent dodged, he suddenly appeared behind the Heaven's Punishment Spear, grabbed the spear, and with a casual swing and thrust, aimed at the opponent's vitals again.

The human expert's face was covered in cold sweat, exhausting all means to finally block Kerong's incarnation's attack, his own body also suffering from the shock.

Just as the attacks of other experts were about to land on Kerong, he suddenly flashed again, disappearing from the center of the crowd's encirclement, only one Sword Dancer demigod barely able to grasp his figure, but not daring to pursue.

Absolute speed suppression allowed Kerong to remain at ease in battle even when facing the interception of a dozen human experts. Even if two Saint-level existences appeared among the human experts, and they also unleashed their respective domain powers, they still could not pose much of a threat to Kerong's incarnation.

". God says, those who do not obey Him will have their actions restricted!"

Among the human powerhouses, a clergyman clad in golden divine robes stood before a divine scripture. The pages turned without any wind, and as the clergyman uttered devout and firm prayers, Kah Rong's body suddenly became heavy, his speed seemingly hindered by the effects of the prayer.

A human mage with short, silver-white hair and a gentle, detached demeanor had just finished casting his spell. He extended his staff forward abruptly, and a beam of shimmering white light shot directly at Kah Rong.

A Barrier of Laws!

As an avatar of a deity, although he couldn't mobilize and alter laws as easily as his true form, using the power of laws to protect himself wasn't difficult.

The distorted space that appeared before him made the lightning-fast ray seem to slow down just as it was about to hit Kah Rong's body. The short distance of a few dozen centimeters became impossible to close.

"Seal!!"

Seeing this, the silver-haired male mage let out a low roar. The mental power attached to the ray immediately linked to the spell model, and with a sound like shattering glass, the space within a dozen meters of Kah Rong was replaced by a huge ice crystal.

Hundreds of meters away, the human powerhouses in the arena also felt a chill, as if their entire bodies and flowing blood were about to freeze.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Even the 'Absolute Zero' legendary magic cast by a human Saint-level Archmage didn't seem to have much effect in front of the deity's avatar. As a golden light flashed within the ice crystal, the massive iceberg instantly turned into a sky full of scattered crystal flowers, and then a figure burst out again.

However, the divine revelation prayer cast by the human clergyman still had some effect. At least Kah Rong's movement speed was now much slower, allowing most of the human powerhouses in the arena to barely see his trajectory.

"For a being of such noble status to engage in such disgraceful behavior is truly despicable."

The human clergyman silently recited prayers in his heart while also focusing on Kah Rong's direction of movement, speaking out in mockery.

The strength of this centaur powerhouse was so astonishing that his identity couldn't possibly be as simple as a mere Saint. Howell, a ascetic from the Church of the Dawn, was also a Saint himself, and he couldn't imagine that there could be someone among the Saints who could crush others of the same rank.

Moreover, as the most devout follower of the Lord of the Dawn, Howell was now qualified to come into contact with the power of the gods. During the battle with his opponent, he felt the supreme power hidden within this body even more.

"Noisy!"

The shaft of the Heaven's Punishment spear in Kah Rong's hand suddenly extended, and a golden light shot out from the tip, heading straight for Howell's chest.

Buzz!!

A holy light blocked in front of him, and the Divine Grace Blessing spell cast by the Saint firmly protected Howell. However, at the instant the golden light flashed, Kah Rong's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, immediately arousing everyone's vigilance.

Clang!

"Careful!"

A human sword dancer in the crowd shouted loudly, warning his strongman companion beside him. At the same time, two single-handed longswords danced like paintings, weaving a dense sword net to try to delay the golden light that was stabbing towards the strongman. However, as soon as the sword net touched the golden light, it was directly torn apart by the powerful force.

In the face of absolute power, so-called speed, skill, and other methods really seemed insignificant.

Pfft!

Ding!

The human strongman finally reacted with his war hammer, but he only managed to buy himself a chance of survival. Although the war hammer hit the tip of the spear, causing its stabbing motion to deform, a wave of energy suddenly shot out from the edge of the spear, tearing a bowl-sized gash in his abdomen, and he fled to the side in panic.

Subsequently, other human powerhouses rushed to his aid, rescuing the strongman in time. However, in the blink of an eye, Kah Rong had already drifted away, turning his spear into a javelin and launching an offensive against two Saints in the distance.

Although Kah Rong's avatar appeared calm on the surface, seemingly unaffected by the two previous magics and divine spells, in reality, he had to fight against the will of the Feyman World while battling, and it wasn't as easy as it seemed.

This time, in order to hold back the elite powerhouses in front of him, he finally stopped hiding his strength. Therefore, he was immediately targeted by the Feyman Will, which continuously mobilized the power of the entire world to banish this existence, which could cause great damage and influence to the Feyman World, back to where he originally belonged.

Even if the battle ended now, Kah Rong could no longer get rid of the Feyman Will's lock like he had done some time ago through some means. At this time, his original mental fluctuations and aura were exposed and firmly locked by the Feyman Will. At most, in half a month, he would no longer be able to withstand the increasingly vast power of the Feyman World and would be ejected from the prime material plane.

Therefore, this also meant that Ahmad's centaur legion had at most half a month to retreat leisurely and wreak havoc in the territory of the Dawn Empire.

They might not even be able to last for half a month, because in this nearly one month of fierce fighting, the centaur legion's achievements were gratifying, but the number of personnel they lost was equally heavy.

When they set out, they had nearly 180,000 soldiers, but now there were less than 100,000 warriors left. Many wounded soldiers, who could actually recover and heal in ordinary wars, would voluntarily stay behind to cover the retreat in order not to slow down the army's pace, and eventually die tragically under the revenge of the humans.

And the greatest help in the legion's retreat was Kah Rong's deity avatar. If he hadn't held back the Dawn Empire's powerhouse team that arrived in time, the centaur legion's soldiers would not have been able to transmit and rest in an orderly manner, and then launch attacks on new targets again.

During the demon invasion hundreds of years ago, the Temple of Nature collected a lot of core materials for flesh and blood altars through mission releases. Although a lot was lost in subsequent research, this time, in cooperation with the centaur legion's actions, the churches of the Temple of Nature still put together seven complete sets of altar teleportation arrays and handed them over to the centaur race.

During this period of retreat, five sets were abandoned and destroyed because they could not be recovered in time. Now the centaur legion still has five sets of magic arrays in hand, enough for the centaurs to consume and use for the next half month.

If Kah Rong's avatar hadn't restrained the human powerhouse team and prevented them from sparing manpower to sabotage during the legion's teleportation, the centaur army would not have been able to appear and disappear mysteriously on human territory, making it impossible for the main force of the humans to grasp their whereabouts.

Even so, the humans had long judged from various clues that the centaurs might have some kind of teleportation method, and through arranging targeted elite teams to track their actions, they discovered the existence of the modified flesh and blood altar.

The few altars that were destroyed before were the results of the human's specially arranged personnel carrying out missions to sabotage and destroy the flesh and blood altars.
