The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 777 - 459: Three Lines

There is one month left until the snowfall begins.

The last battle of the year is about to commence.

The isolation zone constructed by the Rats still stands strong, growing more solid with each passing day.

On both sides of the zone, large numbers of troops are beginning to gather.

Both sides understand very well.

This battle will conclude this month.

If the Rats manage to hold the isolation, come next year, once the snow stops, they will hold a significant advantage.

Decisive enough to potentially lay the foundation for their victory next year.

However, if this battle ends in defeat, the remaining forces on the continent, aided by the Night Watchers, will gain a respite.

The United Army will take advantage of the opened narrow passage to expand their defense perimeter and then spread out frantically to rescue the forces that are still resisting.

The Rats are indeed numerous, enough to be described as swarming over mountains and fields, but to thoroughly cover the entire continent is wishful thinking.

Although many settlements, tribes, and races have been destroyed by the Rats, their capability is evidently insufficient to completely annihilate every enemy.

Numerous places still resisting, surrounded by hordes of Rats, host large numbers of resistors, scattered like stars in the night across Lebia.

Breaking through the isolation zone and surrounding ring, the Night Watchers’ logistics capabilities could even during the harsh winter months equip the survivors of Lebia with enough resistance power to secure their foothold next year.

This is why it is necessary to gain the upper hand before the snowfall begins. Otherwise, by the end of winter, the number of remaining resistors is conservatively estimated to be reduced by at least half.

If persistent searching and support occur during the winter, their survival chances will significantly increase.

With additional recruitment and training during the winter, they will have enough troops next year to counterattack.

Thus, this battle is crucial for the United Army; it will be their decisive blow to withstand the Rats’ onslaught.

Southwestern battlefield.

The front-line command camp of the isolation zone.

United Army at the direction of Blue Sky Harbor.

Inside the tent.

The War Commander, Night Watcher Tactical Master—Sweet, is overseeing the final planning.

"We have long discussed with the Wolf Lord in the northeastern theater and Commander Alek; this is our initial planning map."

He gestured towards the large map spread on the table, which detailed both sides of the isolation zone’s specifics.

Except for the relatively central fortresses.

The fortresses in the center are overrun with so many Rats that even the Night Watchers find it challenging to scout the area, as at any attempts from the sky, the Rats in that direction would shoot down.

Thus, the internal situation can only be explored as we break through, while Night Watchers have the ability to receive frontline intelligence in real-time.

The map was covered densely with various arrows and troop symbols.

"Our total troops number around 100,000, the maximum we can mobilize in this stage.

Meanwhile, the Rats we face...number in the millions; this battle for life will fill the entire heaven.

Please, for all of you, be mentally prepared, bring forth a will to die, otherwise, we will fall into an unresolvable trap."

Sweet stated solemnly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Everyone nodded heavily, having already begun this mental preparation one or two months ago.

Then followed the detailed action plan.

Kana remained quietly listening from the side, not expressing much opinion, as it was best not to intervene excessively in these matters.

In this war, Kana’s role is to resist and take down the enemy’s legendary combat power, as taking down one will significantly boost morale.

Even if unable to kill, resistance is crucial.

Nonetheless, in such a grand battlefield, undoubtedly this will be Kana’s main stage.

In these oceans of blood, his combat power will multiply exponentially.

The endless blood, and the myriad of weapon and armor wreckages scattered across the war zone, will serve as his best aid.

Kana aims to deliver a heavy blow to the enemy in this battle.

He has been prepared for this for a long time.

...

Northeastern battlefield.

At the edge of the grassland, extending further will gradually approach the mountains, and the cities and watchtower fortresses surrounding the mountains form the isolation zone of the Rats.

"The blessing of the Wolf God has descended, and His gaze is upon us. Children of the Wolf! Display the will of the pack, and tear apart those who have brought us pain!"

The Wolf Lord stood atop a high altar, delivering a pre-battle speech to the warriors below.

As his speech continued, an ethereal shadow of a giant sacred wolf took shape behind him.

"Awooo!"

A howl erupted.

The large packs of wolves below followed with their howling, also accompanied by the roars of the warriors.

The sound gathered, piercing the sky.

Even distant enemies seemed to hear the howl echoing from afar, as if peering into their very lives.

Surrounding the Green Land Kingdom’s warriors were also various warriors from different races that they had escorted and aided during this period.

After all, the Green Land Kingdom had borne most of the pressure, and although many city-states were annihilated, many warriors survived as well.

The Night Watchers scattered to find them one by one and brought them back to form the current United Army.

But compared to the enemy, their soldier count was just over 30,000, serving more of a supporting role while the main forces were elsewhere.

However, without a doubt, the mobility of their forces here was intense.

Perhaps it will play a crucial role in the upcoming wars.

"Advance!"

With an angry shout.

The divided troops began advancing from various directions.

This war will be initiated by them.

They need to clear the watchtowers of the Rats ahead and approach the mountains.

At the very least, they need to capture the first city.

Otherwise, it won’t alleviate the pressure on their comrades on the other side.

...

Aside from the main battlefield on both sides of the isolation zone, there’s another equally important battlefield.

Which is Half Moon Harbor, blocked from the beginning.

"I disagree!" A corpulent noble shouted angrily, slamming the table in front of him.

Another somewhat lean noble, equally haughty, said, "I can’t provide that much material and equipment, nor can I dispatch the escorts of my caravan."

More nobles echoed around them.

A military noble, upon hearing their words, slammed his fist on the table and roared louder, "Cowards, only thinking about yourselves, you disgrace your ancestors’ glory."

"What? How dare you, brute, say such..."

He was interrupted before he could finish, "And what if I did, huh? Coward, waste, useless mongrel like dogs! What?! Unsatisfied? Challenge me to a duel to the death then?!"

It was evident that the military noble had already been enraged, throwing away any remaining decorum among nobles.

The corpulent noble’s face turned purple with rage, but he was evidently too afraid to respond.

The Combat Master and Calvin in the meeting room silently watched this scene.
