Volume 3, Chapter 79 – Overwhelming Advantage

At the same time, after her talk with Xingyu Muxi, the cat-eared girl Yeluo slipped alone to the rear of the Stronghold without being noticed by the Beastmen.

She then secretly began visiting every half-beast settlement.

Because she possessed the power of Gluttony, Yeluo managed to visit all of the half-beast gathering spots within a single day, and after her movements, the Beastmen at the Stronghold were the first to sense that the half-beasts under their command were starting to show signs of restlessness.

At the same time, Fisiel’s army also began to move. Not only did they voluntarily leave the Northern Fortress, they also deployed all of their forces in a line directly facing the Stronghold’s army.

In numbers, the Kingdom army only had one hundred thousand, but in terms of morale, because Grinrui had died in such a baffling way, the Beastman army that had lost its leader was at a disadvantage from the outset.

At the same time, it was not just the Kingdom army led by Fisiel. Mixed into Fisiel’s troops were also over a thousand half-beast soldiers.

After finishing the deployment, Fisiel met with the initiator of this campaign, Xingyu Muxi, as well as the person she was nominally sworn to serve, Tianyin.

“Fisiel, our goal today is to do everything we can to wipe out this Beastman army completely, so when it comes to commanding the troops, we will still need you to take full responsibility.”

After gaining a rough understanding of Fisiel’s military ability, Xingyu Muxi very confidently handed over command of the army to Fisiel.

“Phew, if you are leaving it to me, then you can put ten thousand hearts at ease.”

She had previously worried that her command authority would be stripped away, so after hearing Xingyu Muxi’s words, the knight girl finally let out a small sigh of relief.

“I believe in you too, Fisiel!”

At Tianyin’s side, she also subconsciously cheered Fisiel on. But as things stood, when it came to dealing with this Beastman army that had no Legendary, as long as Fisiel did not make any mistakes, victory was only a matter of time.

Very soon, under Fisiel’s command, the war broke out.

Thanks to the resupply from Eden, the one hundred thousand strong Kingdom army was far better equipped in terms of supplies and weapons than the Beastmen. Compared to the Kingdom soldiers whose momentum was soaring, the Beastman army on the other side was still putting up stubborn resistance, but because they lacked weapons and supplies, they looked very powerless.

So not long after the battle began, even though the Beastman defenders clearly outnumbered the attacking Kingdom army, the situation on the field became completely one sided.

In just half an hour, the first defensive line the Beastmen had set up was breached, and within a few minutes after that, the entire line collapsed like a chain reaction.

Logically speaking, the collapse of the Beastman defensive line was the best time for a mass pursuit and slaughter, but the one in command, Fisiel, did not seem anxious at all. After the first Beastman defensive line collapsed, she still calmly controlled the attack intensity of each of the units under her, and as the Beastman defense fell apart, she commanded the entire army to steadily advance.

“Very calm command. Xiaoyin, you have to remember, you cannot let what you see in front of you make you act on impulse. Advancing step by step in a solid and steady way is the best way to win.”

Xingyu Muxi gave a perfectly timed evaluation of the knight girl’s manner of command.

“Mm, got it…”

Tianyin nodded with a knowing look. She quietly committed every word Xingyu Muxi said to her to memory.

“Well, of course war does not always have to rely on methodical step by step advances. That way of fighting is the easiest way to win, but Xiaoyin, we also have to learn how to maximize our advantage while still playing it steady.”

“Eh? What does it mean to maximize our advantage?”

“For example, right now we have gathered all of our forces to concentrate our firepower and destroy this Beastman army. In terms of high-end combat power, the Beastmen don’t have a Legendary, and we have a Legendary. That is an advantage. The Beastmen lack weapons and supplies, while we have more than enough. That is also an advantage. The Beastmen’s fighting spirit and morale are relatively low, while ours is high. That is also an advantage. And the Beastmen have lost their commander, while we have an outstanding Legendary commander, so that is another advantage.”

“So, Xiaoyin, because we have an absolute advantage and our advantage is too big, in this battle we are bound to be the ones who win.”

After listening to Sister Xiaomu’s rational analysis, Tianyin could not help developing a feeling of admiration toward Xingyu Muxi, even though she already admired her a lot as it was…

“Sister Xiaomu is amazing~”

And in fact, the situation on the battlefield unfolded exactly as Xingyu Muxi had predicted. Under Fisiel’s continued calm command, the remaining Beastman defensive lines were broken one after another, and then the formations they had finally managed to put together were immediately split apart by Fisiel.

The Beastmen no longer had a commander on Fisiel’s level, and with Fisiel personally holding the line at the rear in the final stages, the situation across the entire battlefield became clear by the afternoon.

The Beastman troops that had been cut up and encircled each fought on their own, but without command they turned into a chaotic mess and were no match at all for the tightly coordinated Kingdom army. In the final phase the whole battlefield was like a massacre.

Because of the game mechanics, NPCs would turn into points of light when they died, so the scene actually was not bloody. On the contrary, it even gave Tianyin the illusion that she was watching fireworks…

“The overall situation on the battlefield is already obvious. From here on we can just leave it to Fisiel.”

After Tianyin and Xingyu Muxi had watched the fighting for the whole day and the time neared dusk, Xingyu Muxi spoke to Tianyin.

“Xiaoyin, next it is your turn to make a move.”

“Eh? Me?”

Wait, had she not just said that the outcome on the battlefield was already decided? Why was she asking Tianyin to make a move?

Tianyin was a bit confused.

“Well, Xiaoyin, you are not going to act on these people. I need you to make a move on that Beastman reinforcement army that has not arrived yet~”

“Mm, on that Beastman reinforcement army? Does that mean those reinforcements are almost here?”

After listening to Xingyu Muxi’s explanation, Tianyin instinctively thought of that.

“No. Because the Beastman army here is about to be wiped out, that reinforcement army can also be eliminated.”

“Mm… I… I see?”

What Xingyu Muxi said did make sense. Now that the threat of these more than two hundred thousand Beastmen was gone, Eden would be free to deal with the Stronghold army that was sending reinforcements.

Thinking of that, Tianyin showed that she understood.

At this time, the several thousand half-beast troops that Xingyu Muxi had deliberately held back and not sent out finally had a use.

“Xiaoyin, I will leave those reinforcements for you to deal with. But you do not have to worry too much, I found you a helper~”

“Mm? A helper?”

That was not right. Eden’s army and Fisiel’s army had already been put on the field, so where did Sister Xiaomu find a helper?

“Yes. And the helper is undead~”

“Uh-huh… undead!?”
