Chapter: Chapter 432
“The Great God?”
“The Great God is watching us?!”
The beastmen warriors gathered nearby were surprised by the words of the green monster. They gazed at the green bird-like monster with adoration and spoke to their comrades in a very soft voice.
Linglong’s expression briefly faltered, but no one noticed her change in expression. Everyone’s attention was focused on the monster. Who would care about the Goddess?
“Don’t scare them. The Great God is always busy, how could he spare a thought for this little battle?” Linglong winked at the green monster, wanting to remind Lethicia to restrain herself.
Great God, Great God, of course, he should exert his influence on major events. You appearing at a time like this doesn’t seem like a Great God at all.
The Great God that Linglong fabricated was meant to be on par with the Great Gods of the Lionheads. Their target was the entire grassland, and this was merely the edge of the grassland!
In the story Linglong fabricated, she, the Goddess, received a divine oracle from the Great God to spread faith in this desolate land. In the interior of the grassland, there were already quite a few tribes that believed in the Great God, and the Great God’s attention should be more focused there.
On their side, they were basically left to their own devices.
“The Great God is not watching this battle, but you in this battle, little Linglong, you are the most beloved messenger of that one.” The green monster chuckled with a pleasant, bell-like laugh. “By the way, from my experience, you are probably not very safe in this armor.”
When the green monster said the first half of her sentence, the beastmen around Linglong already looked at her with immense adoration. However, their gazes did not last long because Linglong’s bright silver armor was too dazzling.
If they looked any longer, they felt their eyes would be directly blinded.
Linglong, on the other hand, disagreed with the latter half of the sentence. “I personally supervised the creation of this armor, and even the sharpest arrow cannot penetrate it.”
As she spoke, Linglong even puffed out her chest, which was slightly above average, with a proud expression.
This girl completely failed to understand Lethicia’s meaning.
“I mean, you are too conspicuous. If your enemies see a shiny fellow appearing on the battlefield, even the brainless ones will know to focus their attacks on you.” The green monster’s voice carried a hint of helplessness. “The enemy’s combat power is slightly stronger than yours. Don’t stumble here. The Great God is watching from above.”
Saying this, the green monster looked up at the sky, indicating that there are gods above them. “Me coming down to remind you is already bending the rules for you. You have to pull yourself together.”
“Hmm, alright. In that case, I won’t wear this one. But I might have to fight again later…”
“I’ll help you one last time. The Great God won’t be happy with me helping you like this.” The green monster’s voice was filled with deep helplessness. She spread her wings and opened her mouth, spitting a green light at Linglong.
Linglong instinctively wanted to dodge, but she immediately suppressed her reflexive reaction. This was a blessing from the Great God she believed in, and logically and reasonably, she should not show her distrust.
The green light struck Linglong’s silver armor. The incredibly conspicuous bright silver quickly dimmed. After a few breaths, the dazzling silver light disappeared, replaced by a rather unappealing gray-black.
Linglong was a little dissatisfied with the change in the armor’s color. She felt that the armor was too low-key now.
However, the green monster did not speak to her anymore. After dulling the armor, she flapped her wings and stirred up a gust of wind. When the wind subsided, the green monster had already disappeared.
The beastmen warriors surrounding Linglong could finally express their questions. They looked at Linglong with full curiosity, almost writing on their faces what they wanted to know about the monster.
Linglong’s expression collapsed. That Lethicia really liked to add extra work to her at the last minute, didn’t she?
Sighing helplessly, she wearily explained to the surrounding beastmen warriors, “That is a divine envoy of the Great God. We have a good relationship, so she occasionally comes to help me.”
From now on, if Lethicia found her in this way again, she wouldn’t have to waste her breath explaining.
“Then, is it also true that the divine envoy said the Great God is watching us?” an excited beastman warrior eagerly asked.
“It’s true. Although she is capricious, she wouldn’t lie about matters concerning the Great God. Since she said the Great God is watching us, then that should be the case.” Linglong exhaled softly, her expression becoming serious. “This is a test from the Great God. We must win beautifully and let the Great God see our value!”
“Understood!” The beastmen warriors surrounding Linglong let out deafening roars.
With Lethicia’s friendly cameo, Linglong’s side’s morale instantly rose a level. Look at these eager beastmen warriors. Their combat power has increased by at least half compared to before.
Isn’t this better than taking drugs? This is a combat power increase with no side effects.
“I remember you just said you didn’t want to interfere in this battle and just wanted to watch Linglong perform honestly?” Miss Bai, who had watched the live broadcast from above, tilted her head, somewhat confused about what Lethicia was doing.
What’s the point of helping Linglong pretend to be a god?
“Actually, my main goal was to make her equipment less conspicuous. The pretense of being a god was just a side effect.” Lethicia spread her hands, indicating it was an unintentional act, and she could only do it this way to help Linglong with her armor problem.
Moreover, Linglong’s reaction was also very good. She took this opportunity to boost her side’s morale again. The morale gap between the Bone Wings and the Steel Spears was already a bit obvious. Lethicia estimated that even if Linglong hadn’t set up those ambushes, she could have defeated the Steel Spear army with just the forces on the main battlefield.
And now, the ambushes set up by Linglong had begun to move, preparing to deliver a heavy stab in the back to the Steel Spear tribe’s army.
“The outcome is already decided. It just depends on how beautifully we win.” Lethicia, looking down at the entire battlefield, made a direct judgment. Those powerful warriors who took drugs were merely slightly stronger ordinary soldiers against this level of encirclement.
In fact, the use of those tall beastmen warriors on the main battlefield was much smaller than at the beginning. The warriors of the Bone Wing tribe were not stupid. Seeing such irresistible opponents, they naturally chose to retreat temporarily or proactively attack to lure these giants into exposing their flaws.
Once they exposed their flaws, the flames of death would arrive as scheduled, devouring the Steel Spear beastmen who made mistakes.
The Steel Spear tribe’s round of attack was undoubtedly repelled again. The people of the Bone Wing tribe knew how to deal with those tall, god-like beastmen, but the people of the Steel Spear tribe still didn’t know how to deal with the flames that appeared from nowhere.
After repelling the enemy’s two rounds of attacks consecutively, the morale of the Bone Wing tribe was extremely high. Coupled with the rumors from the central army that a divine envoy of the Great God had appeared before them and informed them that the Great God was watching the battle from the sky, this made the beastmen of the Bone Wing tribe now eager to perform well in front of the Great God. If they were favored by the Great God, wouldn’t they be able to ascend to the heavens and become a big shot?
“We can launch a counter-attack. The other teams should have also reached their predetermined positions. We attack here, and they will launch a surprise attack from the flanks. This army of the Steel Spear tribe is already trapped like fish in a barrel!” Linglong had arrived at the battlefield that had just ended the battle. Looking at the beastmen warriors with incredibly high morale beside her, her unease gradually dissipated.
She beckoned to a general who was waiting nearby and issued the order to launch the general offensive.
With the issuance of this order, the army of the Bone Wing tribe immediately began to move. After enduring the enemy’s two attacks, these rough men who had been holding back their anger finally had the opportunity to vent their anger.
Watching the army of the Bone Wing tribe surge towards the Steel Spear tribe’s front line like a tide, Lethicia’s expression became much more serious. She no longer made any witty remarks but quietly watched the two armies engage in their final clash of the day.
Undoubtedly, the demoralized Steel Spear army could not withstand the fierce attack of the Bone Wing tribe. The army’s front line was torn apart in an instant. No matter how the Steel Spear tribe’s commanders tried to issue orders, they could not stop their own defeat.
Making matters worse, as the front line was breached, information also came in about attacks on the flanking forces.
The Bone Wing forces arranged by Linglong to ambush the flanks were undoubtedly elites. After a symbolic resistance, the Steel Spear tribe’s flanking forces had their lines shattered by fireballs.
Now, the outcome was truly decided.
With attacks on both the front and flanks, and in chaos, they wanted to retreat, but there was a large river behind them. There were only a few pontoon bridges over the river, and they were completely unable to allow the Steel Spear tribe’s army to retreat safely.
For a time, the Steel Spear tribe’s army was in an absolute deadlock. They wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape, so they could only wait for the enemy’s blades to fall on their necks.
What were the tigers doing at this time?
When the situation turned unfavorable, he had already taken his personal guards assigned by the tribal chief and fled across the pontoon bridge like a shot, heading towards the main camp.
With the highest commander gone, the defeat of the Steel Spear tribe became even more irreversible. Even though there were still some tall beastmen warriors in the army who could offer some resistance, such resistance was like a moth flying into a flame against the mighty charge of the army.
Soon, those tall beastmen warriors were killed by flames. One beastman warrior was even drowned by a group of fearless Bone Wing warriors.
The skin of these tall beastmen was indeed tough, but they still had weaknesses, such as their eyes and mouths.
However, among them, the people of the Bone Wing tribe encountered a troublesome problem. There was a giant beastman, over four meters in height, who guarded the defeated Steel Spear army like a guardian. Ordinary attacks could hardly cause any damage to him.
Even fire attacks were blocked by him, who was very agile, raising his large shield. The flames needed to land on his body to have a terrifying effect. When they hit the iron shield, it was no different from ordinary flames.
This beastman was like a fortress, forcing the Bone Wing tribe to slow down their pace to find a way to remove this obstacle.
“Let’s pile on him and kill him! I don’t believe he has that much strength!” A general roared with bloodshot eyes. “This bastard!”
“Calm down. I recognize that big guy. He’s a famous elite warrior in the Steel Spear tribe. Legend has it that his strength is not inferior to the Steel Spear tribe’s chief, but he ended up in this situation because he was a step short in the clan chief selection battle back then.” Another general quickly stopped his companion. He knew why his companion was so agitated, because just now, one of their mutual friends had been smashed into a pulp by this giant beastman warrior due to carelessness.
“Close combat is basically impossible, and ranged attacks cannot break through his defense. Even divine fire would be blocked by him. What else can we do?” Another general raised his suggestion. “And have you seen it? Those guys seem to be approaching this guy continuously. If they really gather together, with our strength, we can probably only wait for them to be exhausted and die.”
Everyone knew that this state of his definitely wouldn’t last long, but no one knew how long this state could last.
Because of the obstruction of these beastmen warriors, quite a few Steel Spear beastmen had escaped across the great river and fled towards the main camp.
Although the Goddess had arranged for another unit to attack the Steel Spear tribe’s main camp earlier, and it was likely already captured, what if it hadn’t been captured?
If too many Steel Spear beastmen escaped, then the enemy might be able to regroup and defend the main camp, waiting for reinforcements from the rear. That would be a big problem.
“Stop discussing these irrelevant things. I’ll go deal with that big guy.” Finally, someone stepped forward and ended the argument.
Those who were arguing noisily fell silent, because the one who spoke was Linglong.
“Goddess, isn’t that too improper?” a general voiced everyone’s thoughts.
A child of noble birth does not stand under a precarious beam, let alone Linglong?
Going to challenge that giant beastman to a one-on-one fight was too dangerous. If Linglong had any accident, it would not be good.
But Linglong had made up her mind. She glanced coldly at the beastman who exuded an aura of invincibility and said dismissively, “Have you all forgotten? I am not someone who is powerless.”
