Since the start of the Great War, the Human Kingdom’s millions of troops initially swept everything with grandeur, only to suffer setbacks shortly after the war began. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

In the north of the Elf Forest, the first legion faced significant pressure directly from the War God Alliance Army.

However, when the War God Army, led primarily by the Beastman Alliance, began their assault on the Elf Forest, the Dragon Descendant Kingdom in the continent’s northeast unexpectedly attacked the rear of the War God Army’s Half-dragon Free Council and its many subordinate forces, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Elf Forest.

More intriguingly, after the war broke out, players gradually discovered that the morale of the Beastman Alliance wasn’t as strong as imagined.

After the initial intense battles, they seemed more engaged in putting on a show, idly going through the motions.

Apart from the northern battlefield, the entire continent’s war situation had fallen into a bizarre standoff.

And this standoff did not last long.

After several remaining player Front Armies, which had not been attacked, joined the fight, the scales of war unexpectedly tilted swiftly toward the Elves.

Several border cities that fell in Fengyue Free Territory were quickly reclaimed, and there were signs of a counterattack in the Southern Territory.

Continuous defeats from the front lines were relayed back to the rear of the Human Kingdom, plunging the entire human upper echelon into confusion and dread.

They never expected, despite having several times the overall strength of the opponent, that once the war began, they would perform so disastrously.

A thousand years ago, the allied crusading army led by the human forces had been invincible when fighting the Nature Church.

And only at this moment did players suddenly realize that what they thought would be a difficult uphill battle turned out to be an easy and fluid win...

The ineptitude of the Human World’s Noble Alliance Army far exceeded their imagination.

Or perhaps, not only were the fallen noble soldiers too weak, but players with game systems and resurrection powers were too strong...

Victories echoed back to the Elf Forest, bolstering players’ morale, and their fighting spirit soared ever higher.

However, some keen-minded individuals began to sense a problem.

"Something’s not right... very wrong."

On the eastern battlefield, Li Mu sat astride a Unicorn on the hill, gazing at the player forces pursuing the routed Imperial Army below, his brows furrowed:

"The Imperial Army seems too weak..."

"Hey, Brother Mu, it’s not that they’re too weak, but we’re too strong!"

Next to him, a Heart of Nature player proudly remarked.

But Li Mu gently shook his head:

"No, that’s not it..."

Speaking, he looked into the distance, his gaze growing somber:

"Let me ask you, up till now, have you ever seen a single Legendary Professional, or say, a Judgement Knight’s legion?"

Upon hearing his words, Heart of Nature’s players were taken aback.

They exchanged glances, someone frowned in thought for a moment, uncertainly replied:

"Perhaps... they haven’t made their appearance yet? Like starting weak and becoming strong, appearing only after the noble forces are defeated?"

Li Mu: ...

He looked at the other silently, gently shook his head:

"Isn’t it about time you changed your mindset? Don’t judge ’Elf Kingdom’ using the logic of other games’ dungeon-crawling. It’s not just a simple game, it resembles a ’real world’, and all plot logic is based on realistic developments."

Afterward, Li Mu pondered for a moment, meaningfully said:

"But regardless of how it’s said, targeting the Human Kingdom to weaken the Eternal Church’s strength is surely right. Now that most of the human noble forces are restrained by us, it’s time to deploy those already prepared forces."

"The flames to ignite the Human World are ready to be kindled..."
