Chapter 263: Chapter 177: The Brutal War (Important Plot at the End)

The location of the defense point.

The battle erupted, and this Tier Three Beastman Tribe was quickly crushed with Thor’s addition. A large number of beastmen were slaughtered, and even those knights tainted by the blood-red aura were swiftly controlled.

"Phew!"

Letting out a sigh of relief, Brian couldn’t help but relax a little.

Though he had suffered some injuries, the situation was still manageable.

The others were in much the same condition.

"I didn’t expect, Lord Thor, that you possess Alien Life Source Power. It’s truly powerful."

Isabel exclaimed, her gaze curiously studying Thor.

During the battle just now, she had witnessed Thor’s strength firsthand. Despite only being at the level of a Great Knight, he had resolved a mutated Tier Three Beastman that even she couldn’t handle.

"Miss Isabel, you overpraise me."

Thor shook his head with a smile.

He wasn’t overly concerned about showcasing his own strength.

Reaching here, he had considered the possibility of exposure.

From the daily intelligence, he was fully aware of what he had to face and had made thorough preparations.

"Thor, Miss Isabel, we should rest and regroup."

Brian suggested, then started to call everyone back to the battlements.

"Brother Brian, today isn’t over yet."

"You should have those Apprentice Knights leave for now. This place is no longer suitable for them. If they stay any longer, even those not yet tainted will be soon."

Faced with Brian’s words, Thor shook his head and spoke with caution.

His gaze drifted to the distance.

"Not over yet?"

Hearing Thor’s words, Brian was taken aback.

Isabel also looked at Thor with a hint of surprise.

"Tonight, we’re unlikely to get any sleep."

Thor nodded, choosing not to say more.

After all, reality would soon make everything clear.

Thor’s right hand clenched his Knight’s Long Lance a little tighter.

His heart carried a hint of seriousness.

Arriving at Qiuye Territory, to enter the Divine Ruins, the first hurdle is to withstand the insane orc assaults in the coming days. Even if the Kingdom is prepared, losses are inevitable.

Thor had some hesitations after receiving the intelligence.

Having a daily intelligence system and being able to grow stronger continually, there wasn’t really a need to take the risk.

No matter how small, a risk is a risk.

Moreover, the risk from the beastman assault in those days wasn’t necessarily small.

But he ultimately made his decision.

This opportunity might not come again for many years, and it is crucial for his class advancement. Missing it might mean another chance may never come, something even Thor couldn’t assure.

After all, Holy Sanctuary Knights are almost monopolized by the Kingdom. Even if he found a method to break through to a Sky Knight, it didn’t guarantee a method to become a Holy Sanctuary Knight.

Let alone beyond the Holy Sanctuary.

The Divine Ruins, if properly encircled, not only contains the opportunity to surpass a Holy Sanctuary Knight but also to exceed it.

Such an opportunity is not something even powerful noble descendants would want to miss. If he missed it, he couldn’t possibly justify it to himself.

Hence, he came.

But this orc assault, even he couldn’t afford not to be on high alert to avoid any accidents or significant losses.

Seemingly validating his words.

In the distance, the loud noises started, followed by dust rising as waves of beastmen rapidly approached.

Along with the appearance of the beastmen.

One after another, the Magic Crystal Cannons emitted a blinding brilliance.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Rumble!"

Ten Magic Crystal Cannons fired, and terrifying explosions swept forth, instantly enveloping the massive gathering of beastmen ahead in the Sea of Thunder. In the blink of an eye, a vast area was cleared.

"Prepare yourselves!"

Brian called out, gripping his Knight’s Long Lance again, ready for another round.

However, the next moment, his expression froze.

This time, the surging beastmen didn’t scatter as before but continued to move together toward the defense point.

"What is this?"

Brian’s expression turned peculiar.

"Brother Brian, we only need to fall back and defend outside the battlements."

"They should all be mutated already."

Thor spoke softly, pulling the stunned Brian back.

"Already mutated!"

Hearing Thor’s words, Brian’s eyes lit up, and a trace of joy crossed his face.

Mutating during battle is different from mutating at the outset.

The fact that the beastmen didn’t scatter allowed the Magic Crystal Cannons to have even greater effect.

The losses could naturally be further reduced.

A jubilant Brian hurried to have everyone retreat.

As they fell back, on the battlements, the crystal cannons continued to unleash their terrifying energy.

Thunder roared.

This time, both the Tier Two Beastman Tribe and the Tier Three Beastman Tribe were nearly eliminated by the Magic Crystal Cannon before reaching the battlements, leaving only a small fraction to be swiftly dealt with by Brian, Thor, Elizabeth, and the others.

Yet, before they could rejoice, more figures appeared in the distance.

It was evident that the third wave of beastmen had arrived.

However, by this moment, the initial tension among everyone had dissipated.
