Chapter 450: Chapter 36: The Increasingly Fierce Battlefield

On the battlefield between the Beastmen and the Human Race, Lin Yu’s army was welcomed by the various Human Race Lords because he had no intention of occupying Beastman Territory.

Even if they occasionally occupied a territory, they would give it away to other lords.

They were like a brick on the battlefield, moved wherever they were needed.

Under the Human Race’s assault, the Beastmen were completely unable to organize any large-scale, systematic defense.

However, they discovered that in their scramble for land, the Human Race Lords had sent all their armies to the Beastman Continent. The coordination between them was not as smooth as it had been during the defensive phase. Sometimes, small conflicts would even break out over the contested territory.

And so, they ceded some of their territory. They then organized the displaced lords to take their entire armies through underground tunnels, which had been meticulously prepared for months, and into the heartland of the Human Race. They caught the humans completely by surprise, conquering several territories.

The Human Race Lords who were attacked requested that Lin Yu send Super Gravity Slimes as reinforcements, but Lin Yu refused, claiming the Super Gravity Slimes were on a mission and couldn’t be spared.

This scene of mutual infiltration and attack was exactly what he needed. A one-sided battle would decrease the conflict’s intensity, which would not be conducive to the entire continent being pulled back to the main Cosmos.

One particular incident occurred on the Western Plains.

With the help of the Super Gravity Slimes, the lords of the Western Plains were the first to break through the Beastman defensive line.

They were also the first to push into the Beastman Continent, seizing vast tracts of land.

After getting a taste of victory, all the lords of the Western Plains moved out in full force, leaving only a small number of Guards behind to defend the plains.

The Spiritual Armed Corps and Super Gravity Slimes dispatched by Lin Yu served as the vanguard. They had fought their way out of the plains long ago and were now rampaging across the Beastman Continent.

As a result, the Beastmen’s counter-attack force entered the Western Plains through the tunnels, making the Western Plains the first Human Race region to be invaded by Beastmen.

That day, the Western Plains group chat exploded, and Lin Yu’s private messages blew up.

Li Hua (PM): "Brother Lin, you there?"

Li Hua (PM): "Brother Lin?"

Li Hua (PM): "Dad! Save your child!"

Lin Yu (PM): "Brother Li, what’s wrong?"

Li Hua (PM): "The Beastmen have invaded the plains!! Hurry and help!"

Lin Yu (PM): "What’s there to be scared of? Just have your Sword Immortals cut them all down."

Li Hua (PM): "But my Sword Immortals aren’t here!"

Lin Yu (PM): "Where did they go?"

Li Hua (PM): "To grab territory, of course!"

Lin Yu (PM): "Bro~ You didn’t leave any troops to defend?"

Li Hua (PM): "I was wrong. I thought since we were all pushing into their lands, home would be safe. I never expected those Beastmen could dig such massive tunnels."

Li Hua (PM): "Now the plains are swarming with Beastman armies. The handful of defenders I left behind can’t possibly hold them back."

Lin Yu (PM): "If it’s lost, it’s lost. I heard from Yuan Xiaobo that you guys have conquered plenty of territory. Losing this one shouldn’t be a big deal."

Li Hua (PM): "No, please!"

Li Hua (PM): "I don’t know about the others, but I can’t afford to lose my territory!"

Li Hua (PM): "You know what my territory is like! If the Beastmen occupy it, we’re in big trouble!"

Lin Yu thought about the Sword Immortals in Li Hua’s territory. ’If the Beastmen occupy it...’

’The Beastmen themselves follow the Extraordinary path. If they occupy Li Hua’s territory, they might actually be able to mass-produce Beastman Sword Immortals.’

’That could indeed cause a lot of trouble.’

Lin Yu (PM): "Fine, I’ll help you drive the Beastman armies away."

Lin Yu (PM): "But you’d better send some troops back to defend your home base ASAP!"

Li Hua (PM): "Already pulling them back!"

Li Hua (PM): "Thanks, Dad!"

...

After his conversation with Li Hua, Lin Yu’s orders were relayed to the Western Corps.

The soldiers stationed at the Western Camp were always prepared for the front lines. After receiving Lin Yu’s command, they immediately boarded the Heaven-Reaching Vines in waves, traveling to the western border to attack the Beastmen who were storming through the plains.

Faced with the well-prepared Western Corps, the Beastmen crumbled at the first sign of contact.

The weakest soldiers in Lin Yu’s main corps were Legendary Tier. With so many Legendary Tier Soldiers coordinating their attacks, the Beastmen who had invaded the plains simply couldn’t resist.

In the course of the battle, the corps also managed to kill several Beastman Lords, which successfully raised Lin Yu’s Lord Level to 6.

The chaos caused by the Beastmen in the Western Plains was quickly quelled. It was the only sector in the entire war where the Beastmen’s counter-attack force was completely repelled after entering.

The other regions, lacking the advantage of being near Lin Yu’s territory, found their sparse garrisons completely powerless against the Beastmen’s counter-attack forces.

Thus, the war between the Beastmen and the Human Race continued to expand. In the end, nearly half of the Human Race’s southern continent and more than half of the Beastman Continent were engulfed in the flames of war.

...

Meanwhile, on the Titan Continent, the battle between the Titan Race’s Noble Lords and Civilian Lords was also locked in a fierce stalemate.

For various reasons, the Civilian Lords’ elite troops were predominantly ranged units. However, due to the high-gravity environment of the Titan Continent, their attack range was generally short.

In past battles against the Noble Lords’ armies, they could not manage many volleys before the enemy closed into melee range.

Then they would engage in melee, be routed, and their ranged soldiers would flee along with the rest.

But with the addition of the Temple Guards, the strength of ordinary soldiers was greatly enhanced by their buffs. Plus, the Temple Guards themselves were very powerful.
