Chapter 555 - 490: The Power That Decides Everything
CHAPTER 555: CHAPTER 490: THE POWER THAT DECIDES EVERYTHING
The battlefield above the void, Lin Ke was not worried.
Although Li Guan Mobai was somewhat unreliable normally, not only did he like to pretend to be a veteran to trick young people into buying him tea with newly crafted stories in the milk tea shop.
Recently, Mr. Noble even secretly reported that he found Li Guan Mobai flirting with little Loli in a primary school.
However, when it comes to important matters, Lin Ke was not worried that Li Guan Mobai would mess things up.
Or rather, until now, Li Guan Mobai had never messed up in important matters.
He just tended to cry easily when emotions were intense, just like John and Knicks when they were young.
And at this time, Lin Ke’s focus was entirely on the battlefield.
The Main Plane war was far more difficult than wars on the secondary planes.
This made Lin Ke firm in his determination to defeat the enemies using other methods in the future.
When you can crush enemies through means like economics, trade, culture, and technology, why choose swords?
Of course, sometimes the reverse is also true, especially when facing entities with weak combat power.
But currently, the enemies on the Main Plane were not entities with weak combat power.
These soldiers from the Forest Hut were either professionals or magical beasts with professional-level strength.
As for Faser.
There were a million people, although each had magic pattern power and level five capability.
But according to the Main Plane-to-secondary plane diminishing law, the weakest Faser magic pattern soldiers were only at the level of Naseng’s ordinary professionals.
This was determined by multiple conditions, hard to change.
Just like in the previous life, people who couldn’t eat enough or dress warmly were hard to compare physically with those who could.
Naseng was the place where one could "eat enough and dress warmly," for instance, in terms of elements and rules.
Adding to Faser’s will and morale, which were not inferior to the soldiers of the Forest Hut, as well as the absolute quantity.
This made the battlefield show a one-sided momentum.
War cries, screams, songs, shrieks...
The battlefield was enveloped in chaos, with the colorful blood of various intelligent life forms splattering across the field, looking from afar like a colorful oil painting.
Frighteningly beautiful.
Leaving the aerial combat aside, the ground battle was already near its end.
The bloodline passed down by the demoness excelled in transformation, changing into giant dogs, strong bears, leopards, wild boars, or mantises, dragonflies, spiders, or birds, etc.
Without exception, it was melee combat, which is the profession of knights or warriors.
From ancient times till now, the demoness clan had been glorious, and after intermarrying the demoness bloodline with other bloodlines, when male entities emerged within the demoness tribe, they reached their peak.
The focus direction of male and female demonesses shifted, for instance, male demoness bloodline inheritors suitable for transforming into strong bears were braver than females.
Of course, excluding exceptional cases, females widely held advantages in agility and speed.
However, this advantage slowly got replaced by continuous human updating and innovation of professions.
Cheetahs are fast, right?
Compared to the Desert Walker in the desert?
Crocodiles are fierce, right?
Compared to the Wave Warrior in the ocean?
In short, the advantage of relying on bloodline was eventually targeted by more tailored professions.
At this juncture, a leader has two choices: either to follow the trend and let these outdated professions develop.
Or to close off from the rest of the world, as long as you shut your doors, no matter how you change, you won’t affect me.
Sadly, the Forest God chose the latter back then.
Thus, those from the demoness clan, in Faser’s view, were not as strong as imagined...
Like a wolf and a dog that can only act cute.
No matter how big the dog, in the wolf’s perception, it was just a walking large piece of similar species meat.
Faser’s Demon Pattern Army, having undergone significant transformation, many didn’t even need to sharpen their swords, they could go into battle just by picking them up.
In contrast, the Forest Hut?
Having isolated themselves for years, the latest interaction was during a joint attack on the Great Wilderness City with the Eternal Dusk Church, and in that process, being valiantly opposed one against many by the Mist Demoness.
Bai Bing, leading the Demon Pattern Knight Order, although not like real Knights where one plus one is greater than two.
But each Demon Pattern Knight’s power was almost equal to a professional.
Overwhelmingly!
Only needing the fanatic and fervent Sathir Legion, in less than four hours, they were defeated.
Of course, similarly possessing faith and fanaticism, while simultaneously having equipment, military strategies, and beliefs, Faser’s Demon Pattern Army also faced casualties.
Whether in the air, the magic pattern mages, or the ground, the demon pattern knights, the damage they suffered was even greater than during the three years of Faser’s transformation.
After all, this was a formal war, unlike in Faser where many could only contribute as forces within the Knight Order.
And when the legion battle concluded, the battles of the King of Magical Beasts and the secondary plane deities also ended.
The foundations of the Forest Hut were immensely rich.
Although most secondary planes had turned into nourishment for the growth of the Forest Hut, plenty of secondary plane entities above level twenty remained.
Originally, it could have been a mutually destructive situation, but the confrontation between legendary figures and deities from the Main Plane, along with the victory of the "ordinary army" on the ground, tipped the balance towards the Great Wilderness.
Moreover, the Forest Hut initially underestimated Lin Ke, thinking he would lead the ground forces to battle their Child of Emerald Green, Karon, leading the Sathir Legion.
However, Lin Ke truly led not the Knight Order but the "Fleet Knight Order."
Wherever help was needed, Lin Ke shot there.
Ove also went out and clashed with local legends, his bizarre electromagnetic abilities allowing him to directly capture the opponent.
Although there were casualties, even many.
But this battle was much easier than Lin Ke anticipated.
After finishing the battle in Naseng, Ove and others even went to the void, capturing the Forest God Sathir.
Easy, so very easy!
Just like the information Lin Ke received, showing that the Forest Hut was completely isolated, the many weapons and professions they used were still from the medieval times.
Some intelligence even specified the connection between the Forest Hut and the Holy Life Alliance, but it never appeared in this battle.
Also, the Eternal Dusk Church, perhaps due to the Insomnia Emperor, also didn’t appear.
...
"Indeed, technology... or rather, change, is the force that decides everything."
In the operations command room, Lin Ke muttered to himself.
The universe is both change and stillness.
Or rather, absolute change and relative stillness.
Whether this statement is true, humans in the previous life, until Lin Ke crossed over, could verify.
And Naseng?
Currently, not a false proposition either.
Extending further, stagnation very likely leads not to paradise...
But to settlement treaties, even colonization.
