Chapter 667 - 378: Flesh Grinder, Three Nations at War

The garrison on the west side was built after the last incident. The overall height of the garrison is not very tall, just less than twenty or thirty feet. Not to mention Tiers Four and Five Beastman, even a Tier Three Beastman might leap over this garrison. The only slight help for the garrison is the hundreds of Magic Crystal Cannons set upon it.

However, these Magic Crystal Cannons are somewhat useful against Tier Two and Tier Three Beastman Tribes, but once encountered with Tiers Four and Five Beastman, they are basically ineffective.

After all, regardless of their power, when it comes to Tiers Four and Five Beastmen who can fly, Magic Crystal Cannons are not threatening.

And on the west side, in past times, there have been occasional Tier Four and Tier Five Beastman assaults.

Three days ago.

A Beastman assault even caused the garrison on the north side to collapse.

Though it was quickly patched up by mages afterward.

Yet the strength of such repairs is clearly weaker than before.

More importantly, over the past few days, everyone can distinctly perceive more Beastman gathering in the north, anticipating that if they assault again, their scale and strength will far exceed expectations.

Judging from earlier forces.

Whether Knight Brian, or Morris.

Even Bo’er and others have already prepared to be unable to resist.

There’s no way, their power is too frail.

Of course, these thoughts have dissipated with Thor’s arrival.

No one doubts Thor’s strength.

Nor do they question this legendary existence of the Dressrosa Family.

Upon the garrison.

Thor walks.

Brian and Morris follow behind.

Both are seriously explaining the current situation to Thor.

With their narration, Thor undoubtedly gains a clearer understanding of the Northern Territory.

Though he knows a lot from daily intelligence.

Yet it’s all fragmented and partial.

Only through the words of direct participants like Brian and Morris does it truly become complete.

Especially Brian.

At this moment, he is already a Court Count, coupled with Earth Knight Peak strength, he holds considerable status within the Northern Territory’s defenses, and has a clearer understanding of it.

For instance, the war situation.

The situation is more severe than Thor imagined.

The Blazing Kingdom’s battle with the Beastmen has reached an intense stage.

It is said that over ten Sky Knights have already died.

Even a Holy Sanctuary powerhouse has fallen.

On the Beastman Tribe’s side, over ten thousand Beastmen remain, including a Tier Five Beastman Tribe.

Still, despite having substantial combat achievements.

The Blazing Kingdom has suffered heavy losses.

The strength of the Blazing Kingdom is not as strong as the Tulip Kingdom, losing ten Sky Knights and one Holy Sanctuary powerhouse is already enough to cripple them.

And amidst the Blazing Kingdom’s tragedy.

The Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and Tulip Kingdom are not faring much better.

In the East.

The Tulip Kingdom and Purple Gold Flower Kingdom wage a similarly deadlocked war with the Beastman Tribe.

Half a month ago, a large-scale battle erupted.

In it, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom lost three Sky Knights, severely injuring one Holy Sanctuary, while the Tulip Kingdom lost two Sky Knights, with two Holy Sanctuary Knights gravely wounded.

A Marquis Family, along with three Count’s Clan Knight Orders were completely obliterated.

Such news, once spread within the Kingdom, would undoubtedly cause a great stir.

What is even more frightening is that none present know, this war has just begun.

It’s not even the appetizer yet.

The full strength of the Church of Gods and the Empire has yet to act.

Only when both sides fully engage will this war truly commence.

And within it, how many will die, how many Beastmen will perish, no one knows.

Gazing at the distant sky, Thor’s heart invariably feels a subtle heaviness.

As a transmigrator, such large-scale death is somewhat hard for him to accept.

Sadly, no matter how hard it is to accept, he cannot change anything.

All he can do now is seize the opportunity to further improve his strength; only sufficient strength can ensure that himself and those he cares about survive amid successive upheavals.

"Thor, this time I feel this may be the largest war I’ve faced in my life."

"If I cannot survive, could I ask you one thing?"

As Thor’s thoughts flow, Brian gazes at the far sky, speaking somberly.

"Brother Brian, please go ahead!"

Thor looks towards Brian, opens his mouth but ultimately speaks softly.

"Thor, just help take care of my two kids."

"It’s not too much trouble, just keep them alive."

Brian speaks with a smile.

"Brother Brian, rest assured, I certainly will."

After a brief pause, Thor nods in agreement.

Even if he relies on daily intelligence to ensure the safety of most people.

Yet Brian is different from others, he is a Court Count, other Pioneer Lords may remain with the tower, but not necessarily Brian.

In wartime.

If the Royal Court reallocates forces, and Brian is reassigned, even Thor has no authority to intervene.

"Brian!"

Morris speaks instinctively.
