Chapter 812: Chapter 606: Progress (Part 2)

“The most important thing is that Eve is just too beautiful! That divine beauty, I can’t get enough of it! I really want to lick it!”

She rolled on the ground.

Meng Zhihan: …

This face-obsessed person is hopeless.

How did I make a friend like this, such a tomboy?

But speaking of which, the Goddess is indeed beautiful, attractive to both men and women, last year’s Singles’ Day she couldn’t resist buying a goddess pillow online…

“I’m not chatting with you anymore, I’m going to sign up. This time I’m going to use my professional skills to reform the mess in the Life Church!”

Dongdong sprung up like a carp, rolled up the sleeves of her Priest Robe, and waved her fist.

“Go on, go on.”

Meng Zhihan waved dismissively.

…

The reform of the church is not an overnight endeavor.

Eve plans to gather opinions to compile the “Life Scripture,” using the players’ input combined with the existing system to optimize a new model suitable for the current era.

After issuing this divine decree, She no longer concerned Herself with it.

Later, it’s just a matter of finalizing the reform after players and Elf Believers discuss a suitable model.

It is one week until the Harvest Festival (Note 1).

However, the elves in the Elf Forest have already begun preparing for the festival in advance.

Although the festival hasn’t arrived yet, Feilengcui and Cenolan are already showing signs of a festive atmosphere, every elf, even those with purified bloodlines, is full of anticipation.

After all, it’s also a traditional festival in the Oros Half-plane.

Even the players, noticing the unusual movements of the elf NPCs, learned about this celebration and are looking forward to it as well.

In nearly 100% virtual reality, the “Elf Kingdom” festival never disappoints.

Didn’t you see the daily parties and celebrations in the central square of the Chosen City?

The fast-paced modern life keeps increasing, leaving less free time, and only the “Elf Kingdom,” with its four times time speed, can provide a refuge away from the world.

The festival preparations are proceeding smoothly, and meanwhile, the sealing work in the Dwarf Kingdom continues.

The first successful counterattack greatly boosted the morale of the dwarves. After returning to the surface and receiving the second batch of sacrificial materials, they quickly returned underground to begin the subsequent sealing work.

One must admit, a race like the Dwarves, with a heritage of ten thousand years, is truly wealthy, even if they’ve declined, their reserves are quite substantial.

Their second batch of sacrificial materials is no less than the first.

The mountain-like materials made Eve, who received the sacrifice in the Divine Country, secretly sigh. If every force that summoned players in the future were as wealthy as the Dwarves, She would never worry about a shortage in the exchange mall…

The Dwarves acted swiftly, summoning players again half a day later.

This time, they didn’t delve deep into the Sealed Land but summoned players in the periphery.

The players’ activity area is a circular area centered on the statue, with an indefinite radius proportional to the materials sacrificed during the summons.

The first summoning dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Army summoned by Balot, but that was conducted in the deeply polluted area, and outside the polluted areas, there were still scattered demons lurking.

The second summoning aimed to clear them.

They must be cleared because each demon serves as Balot’s eyes, and if these outer demons aren’t completely eliminated, the dwarves may face a backlash from behind when opening the decisive battle deep in the Sealed Land.

Being attacked from both the front and back would be very dangerous.

And the players didn’t let the dwarves down.

The first battlefield mission allowed many to taste the benefits, and the contribution points came much faster than in other tasks, sparking enthusiasm in every participant.

In less than half a day, the demons in the periphery of the Sealed Land were cleared out by players.

However, the dwarves were much more astute this time.

With players charging at the forefront, they stayed back to pick up the scraps, almost without casualties, while quite a few players died, even more than in the first summon.

There’s a reason for this.

So many players wanted to enter the battlefield mission that even with level restrictions, the queue stretched beyond fifty thousand.

But each time, the number of players entering the battlefield was limited. Though entries were continuous, they could not teleport everyone.

And those who participated in a battlefield mission had to queue again if they exited.

Thus, the second batch of participating players were all “newbies.”

Also, because most of the top players in the “Elf Kingdom” lined up early, many entered during the first battlefield mission, so the average strength of the second batch was slightly weaker.

Hence, naturally, the casualties were higher.

Of course, if quality doesn’t suffice, then quantity makes up for it.

The number of players summoned in the second batch far exceeded that of the first, and under their bandit-like pursuit, even with higher casualties, the demons were powerless to retaliate.

However, the Dwarf Clan’s Legendary Warrior, Tonglu, felt increasingly guilty seeing the heavily hit Elf Chosen Ones.

Despite their flaws, he quite likes these guys.

It’s probably the first impression; when visiting Sandstorm City, the elves left an excellent impression on him.

“The Harvest Festival is in a few days. If the war can end before the festival, I’ll pay another visit…”

“I should properly thank them and also… build a monument for those elf friends who died in the sealing.”

Tonglu thought to himself.

He still couldn’t forget the bravery and fearlessness of the Elf Chosen Ones who died in battle, their calmness in the face of death…

Call them crazy or fanatical, but this spirit of facing death unflinchingly is commendable.

At least, thinking from his perspective, Tonglu believed he couldn’t face life and death as calmly as they did.

They… are a group of great warriors!

With the outer demons cleared, Pope Grey Robe of the dwarves and Legendary Warrior Tonglu continued leading the divine statue of the Life Goddess towards the Sealed Land, officially starting the real counterattack.

The counterattack went smoothly, perhaps the first summoning terrified the demons, or maybe there weren’t many Demon Lords summoned by Balot; in the following battles, the dwarves and players didn’t encounter new Demon Lords.

This allowed the dwarves to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Demon Lord’s control over demons is incredibly terrifying; with or without them, the demons’ combat ability is at two completely different levels.

Not to mention the Demon Lord’s strength is formidable; their power as Gold Professionals is far beyond that of Silver Warriors, even with the Divine Favored among the Chosen Ones, full effort would be required.

The subsequent battles were unstoppable.

The dwarves’ morale grew more vigorous with each battle, and more Elf Chosen Ones joined the fight; the Demon Army of Balot, which plagued the dwarves for thousands of years, was pushed back to the deepest part of the Sealed Land in just two days…

And within those two days, considering the previous two summonses, the dwarf pope summoned the Chosen Ones a total of five times.

For players, it was five battlefield missions.

The later summons far exceeded the earlier ones in scale, with a total of 40,000 player participations, an overwhelming scale that shocked the entire Dwarf Clan.

By this time, no one doubted the elves’ ability to crush the Dark City State Alliance’s army and eliminate the Half-Beast forces.

And two days later, the dwarves finally reached the deepest part of the Sealed Land, where Evil God Balot was sealed.
