Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: The Calm Before the Storm Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: The Calm Before the Storm “Those poor kids, I bet they haven’t been eating well these past few days,” the Guardian Angel said, taking pleasure in their misfortune.

The Fruit Knight immediately shot him a look, and the Guardian Angel chuckled mischievously.

“Our leader is impressive, with the swarm around, we really don’t need to fear these bugs,” Zhan Tianxia laughed.

The Enchantress also nodded, “Although cockroaches don’t exactly counter these bugs, they don’t fear them either, which is why we’re safe. It seems deliberate to eliminate a group of people early on.”

“Let’s go, there’s nothing interesting left to see,” Sister Li said.

Li Yao slightly shook his head, “Not necessarily, let’s wait a bit more. If the wilderness is safe, we can appear as well, and just observe their marching.”

A while later, just as the troop was about to set off, a Scout arrived on Starfire’s side.

“My Lord, a large number of Devil Tyrannosaurs have been spotted charging toward that troop.”

Because of their reduced size, their field of vision was extremely limited, which would have been painful if not for the air force.

In fact, Li Yao’s Fire Hawk had been in the sky for a long time, and he didn’t need the Scout to know that, but he deliberately ignored the Fire Hawk to keep everyone from becoming dependent on it, since he couldn’t always be with them.

That troop obviously also had aerial Scouts, but the problem was, knowing was one thing, getting them to return to the grasslands was impossible, especially after just dealing with the Dung Beetle Corps, which drove them mad. Not to mention their subordinates in the Lizard Corps, who would shudder at the mere thought of turning back, as if it were a nightmare.

So, despite knowing the Velociraptor Corps was very dangerous, they still began organizing and preparing for battle.

This was an unavoidable situation since everyone participating in this final event had prepared to give it their all, fighting desperately for those spots.

Minutes later, a Velociraptor Corps of fewer than fifty thousand appeared in their sight, each Velociraptor mounted by a Primitive Blood Hunter.

From a great distance came volleys of Arrow Rain. This troop had indeed hidden their strength, quickly deploying a Legion of one hundred thousand, surpassing the Silver Valor Corps of one hundred fifty thousand.

One group charged from the front while another one hundred thousand split up to flank from both sides.

“This is a great opportunity to earn military exploits, what a bargain for them,” Tianxiang muttered.

Unparalleled Enchantress wore a strange expression, “If only you had high-level identification skills, then you wouldn’t be saying that.”

Everyone asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”

The Enchantress took a deep breath and said, “These Devil Tyrannosaurs are Warcraft, everyone is clear about that, right?”

“They’re all Warcraft, who doesn’t know that?” Tongtong tilted her head.

The Enchantress continued, “But these fifty thousand Devil Tyrannosaurs are all boss-level.”

The Enchantress’s words left everyone dumbstruck; an entire Legion of boss-level Warcraft, damn.

At the same time, the external live broadcast also caught this scene. When viewers saw the screen filled with only boss-level creatures, they also silently mourned for the troop.

The outcome was already sealed; their strategy was good, just temporarily hold off the Devil Tyrannosaur Corps, then surround and harvest, but could they stop them?

The Devil Tyrannosaurs were already ferociously extreme, and with those Primitive Blood Hunters, the summoned Legion of that troop would instantly crumble, incapable of blocking, directly slaughtered through.

Then it was the Devil Tyrannosaurs’ frenzied slaughter, a scene so horrific it was unbearable to watch, dominating the desolate plains with ease.

By now they finally understood why Li Yao liked walking on the grasslands, for the Devil Tyrannosaurs shrank in size there, making the plains effective at blocking their charging stomps.

Not just here, but the entire urban area had already seen brutal killings.

The most elite legions of the Primitive Blood Tribe were all concentrated here, almost all of them being the leader-level legions. As soon as contact was made, many suffered heavy losses.

In the opening hour, nearly a third of the participants were eliminated, and only some lucky legions or those with special troops managed to advance safely towards the capital.

No one had expected this final battle to be so fierce; many powerful players lost their spouses and troops, filled with regret. Many of those who were eliminated cursed the System and the game company, but while they cursed, the spectators didn’t mind; they were more rational.

The temptation of the spots was too great, and naturally, they came with high risks. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world; to gain something, one naturally has to pay more. Unless you’re inheriting everything from your parents, otherwise, who cares if you die.

Although they didn’t know the exact numbers of those eliminated, the people of Starfire felt the cruelty of this event firsthand.

It was no longer a question of qualifying, but how to safely reach the capital. In the current situation, even giving up wasn’t allowed by the System.

“Terrifying charging power, I wonder if your Dung Beetle Corps can withstand it.”

Everyone retreated into the grasslands, and no one mentioned traveling through the barren plains again.

“If we summon the Steel Armor combined with air support, we might be able to win, but they also have Blood Hunters, who are incredibly lethal, and those who are killed can mutate. Even if we can win, we will likely suffer significant losses, hardly worth it. We haven’t even reached the shadow of the capital yet; there’s no need for a desperate fight,” Li Yao shared his thoughts.

“But if we don’t earn military merits, we can’t qualify either,” Tongtong frowned, now in a dilemma.

However, no one thought about backing down; an extraterrestrial trip might be a once-in-a-lifetime honor, truly a hard opportunity for ordinary people.

The group continued their march through the grasslands. With the air force, they wouldn’t lose their way, until three hours later, they arrived at a terrain that was complex.

During that time, they finally encountered a swarm of aggressive, unknown insects, but once the Steel Armors appeared, those terrifying insects were slaughtered and scattered in retreat.

Li Yao finally saw the benefits of the tactic ‘Geese Flying Leaving Feathers’; he found that these insects could yield various materials in heaps, almost as if the insects were being dissected.

Normally, they could only harvest one or two types, but now, various parts of their bodies were being segmented by the insects.

But that was it, Li Yao didn’t think deeper.

At night, the people of Starfire camped at the boundary between the complex terrain and the grasslands for rest.

The terrain here was too complex already, being undulating hills, which after everyone shrank, turned into towering mountains.

Choosing this type of terrain was still to avoid the rushing charges of the Devil Tyrannosaur Corps.

If they couldn’t form a large-scale collective charge, Li Yao wasn’t too afraid to encounter them, and also, this place wasn’t safe.

Scouts had already discovered a camp gathering the Primitive Blood Corps, but since it was dark, Li Yao decided to continue marching the next day, as the night was too dangerous.

However, Li Yao didn’t expect that while he was waiting for the next day, the enemy thrived in night battles and wouldn’t wait…
