Chapter 791: Chapter 791: It’s Heating Up Now
The Undead relentlessly advanced, showing no intention of retreating.
Though the Beastmen kept retreating, they couldn’t manage to widen the distance.
Even with the presence of the powerful close-combat troop type, the Wild Boar Man, the Undead also had their Cavalry Charge and the enormous White Bone Giant Elephant. Not to mention the airborne troops, which would have otherwise quickened their retreat.
Gradually, the opposing flying troops appeared, and Fang Jie saw at a glance that they too were white.
Even if there were other colored markings, the main body remained unchanged. The Light attribute seemed to be mostly like this.
The command at the front didn’t need Fang Jie to act, as the impatient Skeleton Flying Dragons soon took flight, leading a large number of White Bone Griffin Knights in a charge toward the enemy.
"This just can’t stay still, the Legendary Levels have shown up."
Fang Jie felt the presence of Legendary Experts mixed within the enemy’s troops, signaling that the war had quickly escalated. With Legendary Experts participating, the intensity was nothing like before.
However, Fang Jie didn’t mind. Ever since reaching the Divine Domain, with his own Talent, he had no shortage of Legendary Experts in his command. Those who had basically no potential to advance to Demigod status had been preemptively subjected to Fission by Fang Jie.
The Legendary Experts he brought this time were plentiful, enough to crush the Beastmen at the front.
But Fang Jie knew the danger level this time was utterly different from before, so he didn’t let his subordinates suppress the enemy right away. Otherwise, attracting a large number of enemies to target them wouldn’t be good.
Through some tactical arrangements on his part, Fang Jie gained some understanding of the opposing side.
These people should be more or less the same, after all, people from different Camps, when they attack other worlds, coordinate with each other.
That is to say, during the troop deployments, adjustments and emphasis are slightly different due to different troop types. Thus, the opposing side was also divided into separate teams, each fighting their own battles.
If they all joined together, the trouble would indeed be significant.
But even so, the opposing side was almost unable to hold on.
With Legendary Experts joining the battle, they found that the other side had even more Legends, knowing that their opponents were probably not so simple.
"What should we do, at this rate our losses will be too great," a White-haired Lion-man said angrily. Others felt the same, but at this moment, no one dared to speak up.
After a long while, a Demigod beside them spoke, "Given the strength of the other side, there are likely not a few Demigods over there. We shouldn’t act rashly. Fortunately, we had already called for reinforcements, and they should be arriving soon."
"Very well, you are the most reliable, we simply can’t match the other side on our own."
They too were very frustrated because there was no way around it— they were Beastmen, living beings raised by parents.
But the Undead opposite them were clearly not normal creatures. They could charge forward without fear of death or exhaustion, but Beastmen couldn’t. The Undead don’t tire and can charge forward without any reservations, but Beastmen can’t.
These Undead crazily charged forward, making it especially difficult for the frontline Beastmen to even disengage and rest.
Each time they swapped positions, the disruption in formation led to a significant loss of troops.
The more the Beastmen lost, the bigger the problems would be in the rear. Even if all of them had faith, with so many dead, someone had to take responsibility, right?
Even Fang Jie hadn’t realized that, despite limiting his own Strength in the attack, the enemy still felt immense pressure.
Despite the enemy’s Strength being a natural counter to his own, Fang Jie felt that his side was suffering greater losses.
That was a problem for Fang Jie himself, who had always relied on the wide push of large armies. Thus, even a little bit of pressure felt immensely suffocating—a kind of illusion.
The battle had lasted only a few days when Fang Jie sensed a surge of powerful presences from the opposing side, clearly indicating that the Demigods had acted.
"So quickly the Demigods have taken action, and as many as a dozen at once, quite impressive really."
A dozen wasn’t many, but one among them was particularly strong, likely an old Demigod, an Elite among Demigods.
Such Demigods, who were eligible for becoming gods, were no ordinary units. Fang Jie thought about it and also mobilized ten Demigods on his own side, merely needing to block the opponent. Showcasing some of their Strength made it much easier to explain.
"Let’s go, it’s down to you few, move out." Saying so, Fang Jie leapt forward.
While the people on the other side advanced on the ground, they didn’t hide their presence too much.
After all, for those with the Light attribute, their law is honesty and openness; they aren’t good at hiding. In this respect, the Dark Attribute was more adept.
Since they couldn’t hide, they simply didn’t bother.
These people rushed over all at once and also sensed the presence of the Undead Demigods.
"It’s Undead Demigods, everyone be alert, eliminate them."
Immediately, several Demigods burst forth with powerful radiance, and roars echoed across the field. Influenced by the roars, the entire Beastman Army’s morale transformed.
"Deserving of the Light attribute, not only has morale boosted significantly but all aspects of their Strength have also been enhanced."
Fang Jie knew the Light attribute excelled in providing enhancement, but he hadn’t expected them to be able to enhance such a vast army, and the proportion of enhancement was so strong that his own troops were instantly suppressed.
But the outcome of the war depended on these Demigods, not the ordinary troops.
Even if they got enhanced, what of it?
"Do not waste Strength, focus Spirit on the opposing Demigods."
The battle had not been long, but Demigods had already taken the stage, the pace of escalation in this war was indeed swift. It was uncertain how the gods would act—whether they would take direct action or just watch as if betting.
Whether the gods would act beyond the observable world was unknown.
If the gods intervened nearby, Fang Jie didn’t think it would be easy to withstand their residual forces.
When he had encountered Emperor Skeleton before, merely making eye contact with the True Body caused him pain. If there were an actual fight, Fang Jie believed he likely wouldn’t have the Strength to resist.
But now wasn’t the time to think so much. Locking onto the strongest Demigod on the opposing side, Fang Jie didn’t think twice and immediately unleashed his Magic Power. The ground around him instantly turned into a sea of Bai Gu, which then transformed into a thicket.
Countless Bone Spurs stabbed out towards the Demigod Tiger-man across from him, turning the surrounding troops into debris in an instant.
