Blame it on them and blame it on them; for the Beastman at that time, all of this was no longer important. With the conditions they possessed at that moment, it was estimated that they could hope to annihilate the Human Race after a battle. And in that situation, regardless of who eliminated the Human Experts, none of it mattered to those Beastman anymore. As long as the Humans were destroyed afterwards, who would care about this matter now?

Or relying on the foundation of the Human Race, there originally was a possibility to resist the invasion of those Beastman. Yet, who let the Humans at that time display self-destruction themselves? After that incident occurred, the Humans dared to actively attack their Territory, and in that situation, those Beastman naturally wouldn’t be polite with the Humans.

Originally, even if the Humans had no action whatsoever, after receiving relevant information, the Beastman Tribe would definitely launch an attack on the Humans. However, immediately after the Beastman Tribe received the news that Humans would launch an offensive against them, those Beastman who were prepared to take action immediately stopped their ready-to-deploy action at that time.

The Human Race had two reliances to withstand the Beastman Tribe’s attack: one was the Human Experts not being weaker than the Beastman Experts, and the other was the Fortified Cities of the Human Race not being easy to attack and break.

Even in the current Xuanhuan world, when the defending side faces the sieging side, the advantage held is still considerable. After all, aside from the battles between Experts, regardless of how much power disparity there is between Human Soldiers and Beastman, when Humans stand atop the City Wall throwing stones and pouring boiling oil, is it possible that just because Beastmen have a slightly better physique than Humans, they can remain unscathed?

Clearly, that is something impossible; without reaching a certain standard of power, those Beastman attacking the city would face inevitable death under the assaults of Human Soldiers.

Of course, if Beastmen Soldiers could ascend the City Wall, then at that time they would naturally be able to unleash their advantage in strength. And with their power, if they truly attacked the Human Soldiers, they could possibly bring substantial loss to the Human side.

However, theoretically speaking, if Beastman could really scale the City Wall then, they indeed could fight against many with one. With their strength, at that time, they would be more than enough to bring significant loss to the Human side. But the problem is, would those Beastman find it easy to climb the City Wall?

Clearly, it was predetermined from the beginning that without massive casualties, those Beastman would find it difficult to send Soldiers onto the City Wall. And based on the situation at that time, when Beastman were sent onto the City Wall and started combats with the Human Soldiers, the Beastman side first suffered enormous loss back then. In that situation, after a battle, not counting the loss caused by Experts from both races, with the assistance of the City Wall, Humans could often control their casualties to be at a level comparable to the Beastman Tribe.

Thus, although the Beastman Tribe saw hope in occupying Human Territorial Domain due to the large number of Human Experts’ deaths internally, if they really intended to act that way, those Beastman would still have to prepare psychologically for massive casualties then. Because, based on the situation at that time, even if Human Experts suffered many casualties, as long as they used Fortified Cities to resist their invasion, the Beastman would definitely have to pay a huge price to potentially penetrate the Human Territory.

But the Human Race’s response at that time made everything different.

Because of the Fortified Cities, if the Beastman Tribe at that time wanted to annex the Human Race, they would definitely have to pay a huge price. But what if, without waiting for them to initiate an attack, the Humans themselves proactively came out to battle them? Based on the situation at that time, under the circumstance of Humans attacking them and engaging in Field Battle, the winning odds for the Beastman Tribe increased invisibly by more than a bit.

It can even be said directly, as long as both parties engage in Field Battle, then the Beastman side is sure to win. And as long as they seriously damage the Human Large Army in that battle, then the Beastman side is guaranteed to annex the Human Race.

Precisely because they knew the Humans might proactively attack them, when they received news of numerous Human Experts dying internally, the Beastman Tribe refrained from taking any action.

However, while preparing for war, the Beastman Tribe did not remain inactive. At least when the Human high levels were forced to declare war with the Beastman Tribe, the Beastman Tribe secretly exerted considerable effort. Otherwise, despite the pressure brought by those deceased Experts’ relatives on the rulers, even if they would bring some pressure to them, in the current situation where the Human Race’s strength is not as good as the Beastman Tribe, it wouldn’t have unraveled into a one-sided demand for war.

As a result, under the push of those Beastman at that time, the Human Race indeed launched an attack against the Beastman Territory. And under the circumstance where both parties were prepared then, it naturally caused the war between the two races to directly turn into a Field Battle at that time.

The situation was quite unfavorable to the Humans.

Fueled by anger, the Human Large Army advanced directly into the Beastman Territory, but when they truly confronted the Beastman Large Army, after the Humans calmed down, the majority of their members suddenly became fearful at that moment.

The reason the Human Large Army attacked the Beastman Territory at that time, in simple terms, was due to the instigation by someone with intentions. In the event of internal massive deaths of Human Experts back then, under the anger and hearing many rumors that they must counterattack the Beastman, amidst the surrounding voices with that kind of sound, whether or not they had fighting spirit, under the influence of those words, anyone could not help but become fanatical.

A sort of herd mentality; seeing people around you behave like that at the time, regardless of what you truly thought deep down, you would inevitably find a way to appear just like others, otherwise you would surely worry back then about being considered an outlier due to your performance.

Thus, even in such a situation then, although it seemed the Human Race was determined to fight, they were launching a counterattack against the Beastman. But when really facing the Beastman Large Army, those aware of the strength of the Beastman, how many of them were confident and dared to battle the Human Race, could not be guaranteed.

Regarding the change in morale of their large army, the Human high levels surely couldn’t be truly insensitive to it. But precisely because they had such a sensation back then, they felt anger and humor simultaneously upon sensing their own army’s morale plummet so much.

Why was there such a big battle now?

It wasn’t that the ruling class of the Human Race wished to start this current battle, but because the military and civilians in the race had forced them to take this step hence, there was no choice but to issue the order to attack the Beastman Territory. But what about now? Even those who had been clamoring to fight against the Beastman, upon truly confronting the Beastman Large Army, directly feared instantly; faced with this situation, what could those Human high levels say back then?

No matter how angry they were inside, it couldn’t change the current battle situation; once both parties confronted each other in the wilderness, even if the Human Large Army ordered a retreat now, it was estimated that the Beastman side wouldn’t let them leave.

So at this moment, the Humans must fight if they can win, even knowing very well they might be defeated. Because based on the situation at that time, for the Humans to win is naturally best, but even if defeated, by directly battling the Beastman Large Army, regardless, even after losing, the Humans could still make the Beastman side pay some price. And if they escaped just like that now, it’s estimated few would survive to retreat back to their Territory; the Beastman side’s loss probably wouldn’t be large whether they destroyed the Human army afterwards.
