Chapter 21, Kill

The night attack and the bloody altar erected as a provocation completely angered the lizardmen in the forest.

If it weren't for the oracle of the gods, the lizardmen would have no interest in hunting down the ratmen who fled into the barren mountains. There were indeed some grievances between the two parties, but the lizardmen in the forest were not without other opponents.

The ratmen simply couldn't get a chance to fight, not to mention that they were driven into the barren mountains.

But now the situation has changed.

The bloody altar and the naked provocation made the lizardmen now have more naked hatred in this war against the ratmen in addition to the will of the gods.

………….

The war escalated, and more lizardmen appeared at the edge of the forest. If the lizardmen advance team that went deep into the mountains was counted, the number of lizardmen who appeared in front of Du Yuan was already 800.

Li Sheng was indeed quite capable, and the strength of his followers was really good.

However, due to the harsh environment in the mountains and the large number of tunnels dug by the rats, the war at this time has fallen into a stalemate.

Without the return of the lizardmen advance team, the lizardmen led by the lizardmen priests on the edge of the forest have no ability to protect the outposts along the way and maintain the long food route.

The battle line has been stretched too long.

But if the advance team returns, the situation will return to the initial situation, and the two sides will confront each other at the boundary between the forest and the mountains.

Even though the strength of the 800 lizardmen under Li Sheng far exceeds that of Du Yuan, Du Yuan still pushes the direction of the war into such an embarrassing situation based on the geographical advantage.

Li Sheng and the lizardmen must make a decision as soon as possible.

You must know that in this fragment of the world, Du Yuan and Li Sheng are not the only ones fighting each other. Such a stalemate will only benefit other guys.

………….

In the God Academy, Li Sheng, who has been in the limelight recently, disappeared from the newly formed freshman mutual aid association, leaving behind many ignorant freshmen, who were wary and confused, testing each other and sharing experiences. If Li Sheng was willing to take the lead in a few more gatherings and win over a few more reputations, there is no doubt that his title of president would be secure.

But now he may not care about so much.

In order to deal with this suddenly bad situation, he had to think about countermeasures, with annoyance and anger on his face.

Obviously, his planning and promotion were so smooth, but problems always occurred at critical moments.

And twice he ran into a wall with the unknown Du Yuan.

He couldn't accept this.

It's just the current situation.

Li Sheng had some ideas of compromise. The current situation is really unfavorable. He was stuck in the middle of this, and had an endless stalemate and consumption with Du Yuan and his group of rats.

Perhaps making some promises, giving up some benefits, and making temporary concessions can bring better results. I need to develop more now. In the future, I only need to take over those explored resource points to develop rapidly.

Messy thoughts kept jumping in Li Sheng's mind, and various thoughts echoed.

My father also taught me not to fight blindly, and I should give in now.

But knowing is knowing, understanding is understanding, but I can't make such a decision anyway. Unconsciously, his eyes became red.

A slap hit the table in front of him hard.

After all, he is an immature teenager. He can accept that he is servile to those luxurious people, but his soft knees are particularly stiff for a guy like Du Yuan.

Li Sheng made a decision.

………….

Just as Du Yuan was waiting for Li Sheng to choose.

The lizardmen moved, and the lizardmen advance team deep into the mountains began to retreat.

It seems that the other side is ready to give up?

This thought came to Du Yuan's mind, which was not surprising. After all, lizardmen were not undead or elemental creatures, and logistical supplies were needed anyway.

And Du Yuan was also happy about this, because the ratmen in his hands still had room for expansion.

But this thought did not last long, because the lizardmen at the edge of the forest also began to move.

They began to move in the direction of the lizardman advance team.

Not long after, the two teams completed the intersection. The team led by the lizardman priest brought a large amount of supplies and personnel to the advance team of the lizardman leader. The number of lizardman advance team suddenly expanded to 500. Then, the two teams separated. This advance team rushed to the depths of the mountain with a faster and more resolute attitude than before, while the lizardman priest led the remaining lizardmen back to the forest.

This time, without the burden of logistics, there was no need to build the continuous outposts, and the lizardman army moved very quickly.

As for the target.

Du Yuan's altar.

This is a one-and-done gamble.

Du Yuan frowned as he looked at the group of lizardmen troops approaching his altar.

He wanted to overwhelm me in one go, which was decisive enough, and he jumped out of the dilemma that Du Yuan had put him in, but he was also a gambler.

Was he so confident that his ratmen could not drag the lizardmen troops out of ammunition and food?

If these lizardmen died, it would be an absolute disaster for Li Sheng.

But Li Sheng decisively chose to go all out.

What a huge hatred.

It also brought a problem to Du Yuan, who hated gamblers.

If he guessed correctly, Li Sheng should have a way to lock Du Yuan's altar.

Not long after Du Yuan's idea flashed through his mind, a golden beam of light appeared from the direction of the forest, crossed the sky, and soon came to the mountains, locked Du Yuan's altar, and passed through the mountain wall and disappeared into it.

In this way, a dazzling beam of light appeared in the mountains, clearly pointing out the location of Du Yuan's altar. Xiaochun on the altar reacted and directly swallowed the abnormal divine power that penetrated into Du Yuan's altar to guide the dazzling beam of light, but it was too late. The location of Du Yuan's altar was actually exposed.

Du Yuan looked in the direction where the beam of light appeared. There, there was also an illusory shadow floating, and the two looked at each other.

"Damn gambler!"

Du Yuan left such a sentence in a vicious tone.

Not long after, both sides hid their shadows.

After determining the location, the lizardman advance team launched a charge towards the direction where the beam of light appeared regardless of anything.

And Du Yuan also left a simple oracle with only two words.

Kill!

Under the instructions and witnesses of the gods of both sides, the truly cruel fight was about to begin in this barren and desolate mountain range.
