Chapter 1768: Chapter 855: Two Birds with One Stone (Part 3)

Khan Yamen was clearly aware of this too, using the Power of Slaughter to create Killing Vajra Giants and Slaughter Tukan Warriors, he didn’t dare to send them to the front line anymore, but kept them in the middle or rear of the formation to intimidate those slave soldiers and Tukan People who dared to fear advancing.

This kind of high-pressure tactic is typical of treating the symptoms but not the cause.

This would divert and waste Khan Yamen’s Strength, making their attack far less sharp than at the beginning, more difficult to break through the Laiserman people’s defenses, and further prolonging the battle.

The more intense the pressure now, the more severe it will be when it breaks out fully.

Eight Haslan Witches also went all out, either holding off Khan Yamen or forcefully bombarding those Killing Vajra Giants, all to tell the Dushan Witch that their main focus was still on Lake Asen and hadn’t yet had time to support Mosantiel City, allowing her to go all out there.

Meanwhile, the actual reinforcements for Mosantiel City, Gaven, had already quietly sneaked into the city through the secret passage of the Haslan Witches.

Things here were worse than anticipated, just during the time Gaven and his team were researching and preparing their rescue strategy.

The Dushan Witch, using the Nightmare Tree to collaborate inside and outside the Golden Tent Army, had already broken through the city walls of Mosantiel City on a large scale, and the army was continuously pouring into the city.

In the streets and alleys, it seemed you could see patches of Laiserman people falling.

They either died with bizarre expressions, bodies twisted.

Or, eyes tightly shut, constantly struggling in pain or shouting unconsciously, trapped in nightmares from which they couldn’t escape.

Because there were so many like that, and all the defensive forces of the city were focused on the urban warfare with the Tukan Golden Tent Army, no one dealt with them.

The Laiserman people of Mosantiel City vividly displayed their resilience, refusing to give up the fight even under such extremely unfavorable conditions.

Led by those Laiserman Witches, they fought in units of the Fang Battle Squad, engaging in urban warfare with the Tukan Golden Tent Army, using the tactic of fighting for every inch of soil.

Away from the stretch of the Wild Magic Zone by the city wall, the various spells of the Laiserman Witches began to take effect again, and with their support, the Laiserman Berserkers maximized their advantages in single combat and small-scale skirmishes.

The various alleys of Mosantiel City became a series of new meat grinders, constantly claiming the lives of Laiserman Berserkers and Tukan Golden Tent Soldiers.

At this level, the war was more of a contest of the Will of the two sides.

Whose Will was stronger, who held on longer, would be the final victor.

Once discouraged, retreating, at best an alley would be lost, at worst a whole war would be lost.

And both sides were elite, neither showed any signs of defeat.

Gaven roughly assessed that if no stronger external force intervened, with this fighting style, it would take three to five days to completely wreck Mosantiel City, and the victor of the battle would remain undecided.

After feedbacking this assessment to the Haslan Witches, Gaven then shifted his focus to the Dushan Witch and her Nightmare Shadow Tree.

This tree hung over Mosantiel City like a shadow, located in the southern part of the city, blending with the already descending night, obscuring the full moon with either clouds or the darkness controlled by the Dushan Witch.

Gaven’s previous speculations were all confirmed.

Without entering the Material Plane, deploying the Nightmare Dream Realm — indicating the Nightmare Shadow Tree was not in the Shadow Plane but in the Shadow Demi-Plane.

The Dushan Witch’s control over the Nightmare Dream Realm was still very limited — it currently only enveloped half of Mosantiel City, with only a small portion trapped in nightmares, mostly among ordinary people, the frail, elderly, and sick, including some berserkers, but relatively few in number.

Therefore, this nightmare attack did cause considerable disruption to Mosantiel City, yet was not fatal.

After solemnly reviewing the entire plan in his mind, ensuring no omissions, Gaven once again conveyed to the Haslan Witches: “Ladies, if there’s no issue, I’m going in.”

Their group mind chat used a variant of the Larray Mind Link, allowing multiple minds to connect and communicate, but with the same limitations as the spell — it can only be used within the same Plane, upon crossing planes, it would be blocked by the plane barrier.

Entering the Ether Plane already counted as crossing planes.

“Commander, caution is paramount, if you discover it’s too dangerous inside, you must withdraw immediately, and we’ll find another way to deal with Dushan.”

“Commander, you just focus on the action, the rest we’ll back you up.”

“Commander, we won’t say any discouraging words, may you emerge victorious.”

These Haslan Witches not only possessed ample Intelligence but also considerate Emotional Intelligence, not putting any pressure on Gaven, rather prioritizing his safety instead.

After Gaven responded, he actively severed the mind connection, opened the back door of the Nightmare Dream Realm, began to dematerialize, and directly entered the Nightmare Dream Realm.

“Hmm!” In the shadow, the Nightmare Shadow Tree evidently reacted, a pair of enchanting yet cold eyes appeared directly on the tree trunk of the Nightmare Shadow Tree, scanning towards the place where Gaven had originally hidden.

Scanning repeatedly, unable to detect any anomaly, only a faint natural aura dissipating.

Squeak!

Those mice hidden in the darkness, unable to endure such overwhelming nightmare-like pressure, darted out of their hiding places, seeking to flee.

“Humph!”

The owner of the cold eyes emitted a cold snort, pressure turned solid, and those panicked mice exploded instantly, blood and flesh splattered, without exception, even their Souls were crushed on the spot by colossal force, becoming part of itself.
