[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 664: War in Subterranean World: Chaos in the Three Nations

Although the Fourth Set only had two Grains in this mission, their numbers were enough to encircle the whole area. They brought the entirety of the squads in their Grains unlike the Third Set had many squads away from the mission. Even some of the Grain Leaders were absent.

Their numbers were equal to four Grains of the Third Set that participated in this mission.

Smokes and flames rose within the cities of the three nations. It’s been a while since the war started and thousands of people had already died.

Most of the warriors had a blank look on their faces as they fought the enemies. After witnessing thousands of deaths before their eyes, their heart became as firm as iron. They simply fight and fight the enemies that they saw while following the orders of their superiors.

It was their first time participating in a battle with this many deaths.

Only those warriors that were dispatched to the battlefield against the demon army could stay calm in this situation. After all, the situation there was several times worse than the situation here. Even veteran warriors would have to prepare if they were to be dispatched to the demon battlefield.

An hour had passed since the war erupted.

A lot of civilians managed to leave the three nations. The warriors of the Fourth Set didn’t kill them. Instead, they helped them build a camp for them to stay and rest. Now, the outskirts have been covered with thousands of tents.

The civilians were shaking as the events in the three nations terrified them. Some of them were starting blankly and some were crying in the corner of their tents. There were patches of vomit on the grasses as most of them couldn’t stomach the deaths of the people.

They were just living a peaceful life and yet this happened. No one among them expected that they will experience something like this.

Even though a lot of time had passed, the humongous objects with metallic eight limbs had shown no signs of moving. It stayed still the entire time and the barrier around the territory only kept getting stronger. But it was still harmless so people could still leave the three nations.

Souta approached the warriors of the Fourth Set while looking at the city.

“How long do you think it would take before this war ends?” He asked calmly.

One of the warriors glanced at him before he replied, “Until afternoon? I don’t know… The battle will end if the Chief Captain defeated the enemy’s leader. No, it will probably not end easily like that.”

It was only his estimation of the current progress of the war. It would take at least a few hours before the two sides exhausted their forces. Defeating the leader of the enemies probably wouldn’t end this battle until they annihilated the enemies. As far as they’ve seen, the enemies would fight until the end considering the enemies they’ve fought before coming to this place.

The battle in Mirror Lake, Aekr Republic, and the entrance showed that the forces of the Red Matter Association had a determination to die. Buying time even if they sacrifice their lives showed a great will. It also means that forcing the enemies to surrender would not be easy.

“I see…” Souta nodded at the warrior. He waved his hand and said, “I’m going now. I think I could help some of our warriors.”

The warriors looked at him as he walked toward the three nations. He had finished placing some of his plans so it was time for him to join the battle.

As he was approaching the three nations, Souta observed the huge piece of land supported by eight metallic limbs above.

“It’s my first time seeing this kind of thing… It’s kind of similar to Guardian Fortress.”
