Chapter 485 Victory in the first battle

In addition to the 300,000 troops in Bulun City, there are 300,000 troops in Gusli City to the east, led by several legion commanders. They have also successfully merged and defended the Abyss offensive in the city.

And here, in addition to the Death Scythe, which only has 50,000 people left, there are also 400,000 troops, led by legion commanders who are close to him. They are currently the largest main force of the Great Wall Army.

The Great Wall Army, which originally numbered three million, was reduced to just over one million in just a few days. This was indeed something no one could have imagined.

Even including the Great Wall defenders who were living outside at this time, the number was probably less than 1.2 million.

The offensive of the abyss was too fierce, and even today, Jill was unable to judge the total number of the boundless army.

When the Great Wall was breached, there were still 1.5 million of them, the pass was breached, and abyssal creatures seized the city and swarmed in like insects.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the Great Wall defenders were finally forced to retreat, abandoning the iron wall that contained the wisdom and sweat of all races.

Gil was grateful for his judgment, because Abyss was still sending more troops at that time. If he had chosen to fight to the death, the final result would be that the Great Wall defenders would be completely wiped out, and Abyss would still attack.

Although the current situation is a shame for his personal fighting career, there is still hope for a comeback.

What he is most worried about now is not the abyss army he is familiar with, but another thing.

The defeat of the Great Wall in that battle was not simply due to the huge number of creatures in the abyss, but also because of something weird coming out of the abyss this time.

He didn't know which lord in the abyss did it, but he saw with his own eyes that after a Great Wall soldier fell to death... he stood up again, then picked up a sword and slashed at the former robe!

This had a huge blow to the morale of the defenders, and great chaos broke out. During this period, many lords of the Abyss took the lead in a fierce attack and captured the Great Wall in one fell swoop.

"Sir...the royal capital has sent Duke Godzilla and given him the position of General of the Northern Conquest."

Gil's lieutenant spoke hesitantly.

"I know, this is a good thing. At least it proves that he is not hopelessly stupid."

There was no emotion or anger on Jill's face.

Although he was personally unhappy, it was a fact that he lost the Great Wall, and regardless of his position, he admitted that Duke Godzilla was a capable general.

As reinforcements coming from the royal capital, the situation in the north may improve.

At the critical moment of the empire's survival, as the leader who stood on the front line, he could still see this clearly.

Of course, he also saw King Kusla’s little thoughts, and he would handle it well.

Duke Godzilla...

What can you do with only 30,000 Moon Wolf Tribes?

As for the 30,000 Imperial Guards, he simply ignored them. They were just "new recruits" who had never fought against the Abyss.

…………

Thirty hours after setting off from the royal capital, Lu Chen had led the army into the northern border.

The Moon Wolf Tribe's march was extremely fast, and at the same time it consumed a lot of food. The food on the Imperial Guards' bodies had all run out, much faster than initially expected.

At this time, there were only a little over 20,000 Imperial Guards left. Some were left behind because they were not able to ride well, and some were unable to withstand the long and bumpy march and lost their combat effectiveness and were left behind.

Nowadays, these Imperial Guards are no longer as energetic as they were before setting off. They are as tired as dead dogs, as if it is not the Moon Wolf Clan running below, but them.

Riding a horse itself is a very tiring task, and riding the Moon Wolf Clan without riding equipment is a test of physical strength and coordination.

Not to mention the Imperial Guards, even the dozen veterans who had followed Lu Chen were a little pale at this time.

In these thirty hours, they only rested for a total of four hours, which was only used for the Moonwolves to eat and drink.

During this process, many of the Imperial Guards got off the wolves' backs and did not even want to eat. They fell asleep and prepared to eat on the march.

Lu Chen personally felt pretty good. His physical coordination was excellent and he didn't feel very tired after a long march.

However, he was very satisfied with the endurance of the Moon Wolf Clan.

So far during the march, no one among the Moon Wolf tribe has fallen behind due to exhaustion. They are indeed high-level monsters, nature's darlings.

"March for another half an hour and rest after arriving at Glen'er City."

Lu Chen ordered. He saw that the Moon Wolf Clan was also tired and needed to regain some strength before fighting against the Abyss.

Soldiers are valuable and quick, but don't go too far.

After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally have a good rest.

Lu Chen was riding on Anarius's back. The guy didn't look tired at all, but he looked very excited.

Anarius has been trapped in the sealed land in his life, and has never run so freely on the plains, and he is also looking forward to the "snacks" called abyssal creatures.

During the march, Lu Chen still had time to check the world's public screens, hoping to learn more about the latest news on the mainland.

The explorers have not been very calm these days. Except for those explorers in the Aisir Forest who are still doing the tasks given by Eri in the Buddhist system, the other explorers are a little nervous.

Especially the explorers of the human race are worried now, fearing that the abyss will come.

The most angry person was probably an adventure group in the royal capital. Its deputy leader cursed loudly on the public screen, as if their mission was related to the stability of the empire.

Now that the abyss has been broken in, even if the mission is not a failure, forget about the reward. All the efforts made some time ago have been in vain.

And what they were angry about was that the abyss came in without any warning, and they couldn't do anything at all.

Lu Chen compared the nicknames on the world's public screens and concluded that the deputy leader of the adventure group should be Kusla's princess Ruth, because the pronunciation of Ruth and Heron were the same.

Heron directly questioned the rationality of the space mission, saying that it was a mission that would definitely not be completed, and it felt a bit like a deus ex machina.

Lu Chen didn't know the specific content of the other party's mission, but if it was to ensure the stability of Kusla's throne and the stability of the empire, then there was nothing wrong with what the other party said.

Seeing that the other party has been staying with King Kusla, the mission should revolve around assisting King Kusla. In this case, it is impossible for the explorer to leave the capital and run to the Great Wall.

But the Great Wall was suddenly breached when no one expected it, and the mission was immediately compromised. It was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.

Lu Chen felt that space missions were somewhat predictable. For example, when he went to mine, it was more difficult because of the trials of the Moon Wolf Clan.

If Space could have foreseen this sudden attack by the Abyss to break through the Great Wall, it would not have issued a mission related to "Farming in the North" as part of its main mission. The same goes for Xiao Xian Nai and the others.

I can barely explain it from my side, but how could those third-level explorers from Xiao Xian Nai be farming in the north when the abyss army invaded?

Judging from Heron's scolding remarks, their main mission clearly did not "remind" them about the invasion of the Abyss. It was most likely just about quelling the invasion of the orcs and helping King Kusla secure his throne.

In other words, Abyss suddenly broke through the Great Wall, something that even Space could not foresee, otherwise those missions would not have been issued.

The purpose of releasing missions to explorers in space is to train explorers and improve world exploration, not to force people to die.

Lu Chen used his inflexible mind to slowly think and sort out the lines, and in the end he could only come to one conclusion.

If space can overlook the world from a God's perspective, use powerful deduction capabilities to foresee various events, and thus issue tasks for explorers, then in the space's original foresight, the abyss cannot be broken into this time, and at most the Great Wall can Just heavy casualties.

In this way, there is only one possibility left. This invasion of the abyss is caused by external forces!

Lu Chen scanned the judgment task in his task menu.

Offenders.

According to the description of the space, violators are divided into ordinary and extremely bad ones, and the reason for executing the violators is also very simple.

On the one hand, it is because they use rule bugs to benefit themselves, which is detrimental to the overall economic balance of the space. On the other hand, these violators often do everything for their own benefit, without any lower limit.

Whatever they do will affect the missions of other explorers and the space's "strategy" for the world.

Just like this time, if it was indeed the participation of violators that led to the destruction of the Great Wall, not to mention the explorers who died directly, there were at least fifty explorers who were indirectly affected.

The mission process was disrupted. Not only could other explorers no longer be able to collect world exploration points for the space, but they themselves had to accept mission triggers. Those who lost attributes also said that some of them had been seriously wiped out. Isn't that unfair?

In this regard, space is very rigid according to the rules, and people who are wronged will be punished, so the existence of adjudicators is needed.

It's like an imperfect system with external anti-virus software.

Since the violator sent him to take action this time, it explains two problems.

For one, several Adjudicators failed and probably died at his hands.

Secondly, this violator's Explorer Mark is less than the fourth level.

Otherwise, the space can send a fourth-level adjudicator to do this job. Lu Chen is never conceited. He does not think that he can be stronger than the adjudicator who stands in the top echelon of the fourth level.

But... this guy was able to assist Abyss in breaking the Great Wall. Lu Chen suspected that under certain conditions, even the fourth-level adjudicator might not be able to do anything to the violator.

While he was thinking, Lu Chen saw the village ahead and his expression became stern.

The dark red creature looks like the skin of a licker. Its body shape is roughly similar to that of a human race, but it has all kinds of strange horns on its head. Each of its mouths can reach as close to its ears as it grins, and its whole body is entangled with an unknown and ferocious aura.

There are abyss creatures, and they are quite large, there are about 20,000 of them.

With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see that some of the creatures were holding something and gnawing on it. If he looked closely, he could see that they were all human limbs. There was a strong, ram-horned abyss creature holding a small arm in his hand. Chewing on it, it seemed that the original owner was a child, probably no more than seven years old.

It sensed movement and looked in the direction of Lu Chen. It grinned and revealed its bloodshot teeth, and Lu showed a ferocious smile.

Scarlet bone spurs extended from the top of its wrist. It took a bite of the "delicious food" in its hand, threw it to the ground, and roared. The surrounding abyssal creatures also entered a fighting state.

Regicide appeared in Lu Chen's hand, pointing forward, his eyes cold, "Kill."

The ice-blue torrent swept across the land, and the imperial guards also strengthened their spirits, drew out the swords from their waists, and faced their first battle.

Lu Chen rode Anarius in front, like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the abyss of the team.

The light of the sword rose and fell, the sharp claws tore, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

It wasn't until the battle started that everyone understood the ferocity of the Moon Wolf Clan.

Before many of the Imperial Guards could draw their swords, the abyss creatures in front of them had their throats bitten off by the moon wolves, or their chests were cut open with sharp claws.

The few people headed by Lu Chen, as well as the veterans, were more like tigers among sheep, cooperating with the Moon Wolf clan for the first time, bursting out with astonishing combat power.

Five minutes later, the battle ended. All the abyssal creatures present turned into corpses. A thick layer of blood formed on the ground, making it feel like mud when you step on it.

According to Lu Chen's experience of fighting with these abyssal creatures, the general physical fitness is between 50-60 points, and the strongest leader can only reach 70 points.

By comparison, in terms of physical fitness, they are actually not much different from the elite soldiers of the human race. The trouble lies in the number of abyssal creatures and their fearlessness of death.

Such a disadvantageous match could even be said to be a one-sided massacre, but Lu Chen discovered that not a single abyssal creature escaped.

The thirst for blood and ferocity seem to be engraved in the bones of these creatures.

Thirty thousand against twenty thousand, they were completely crushed in terms of quality and strength. Naturally, they would not suffer any losses in this battle.

At least there were no casualties among the Moon Wolf Clan, but there were dozens of unlucky Imperial Guardsmen who were thrown off because they couldn't sit still, and died at the claws of the abyssal creatures.

The faces of the other Imperial Guards were abnormally red after the battle, some were tired, and some were excited.

They finally saw the creatures of the abyss, and they won the first battle so easily.

At this time, the sense of honor in their hearts gradually rose, and they felt that they were no longer inferior to others. They were also soldiers who had fought against abyssal creatures.

"Gu Lanting, take people to search the village to see if there are any survivors."

After giving instructions to Gu Lanting, Lu Chen then gave the order: "The others rest where they are, while the Moon Wolf Clan eats."

Anarius curiously leaned over an abyss creature and smelled it. He found that the smell seemed to be similar to that of other meat, and he started drooling. They had been eating dry food for several days during their march.

Gu Lanting hesitated to speak, but finally took the order to take people to check the village.

Lu Chen knew what the other party wanted to say. It was okay to let the Moonwolves eat abyssal creatures. The problem was that these abyssal creatures... had eaten people.

If you think about it carefully, it is equivalent to the Moon Wolf clan also eating people.

But he felt that things couldn't be settled that way. Abyssal creatures liked to devour other creatures so much, so let them taste the taste of becoming the blood food of other creatures.

And the dead have passed away. In order to save the living, the Moon Wolf clan must maintain their fighting strength.

He is not a god and cannot be perfect. On this apocalyptic battlefield, should he give up on the people waiting for salvation because of the moral and human standards in his heart?
