Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 185 - 157: Extra-Large-Scale Campaign, Players Enter the Battlefield, Tier Nine is Imminent

Chapter 185: Chapter 157: Extra-Large-Scale Campaign, Players Enter the Battlefield, Tier Nine is Imminent

In short, the number of Tierless Demon Beasts also suitable for large-scale warfare would definitely not be less than this number; it might even be three to five times greater.

Although it couldn’t compare to the population of the Human Countries, which exceeded a billion.

But one had to understand that Demon Beasts were Demon Beasts precisely because they lived by the law of the jungle.

Demon Beasts were born for war! Their only weakness was that most of them weren’t very bright.

Therefore, in terms of sheer combat strength, their overall power wasn’t much weaker than that of the Human Countries—it might not even be weaker at all.

And so, by the time Lince was scheduled to meet with the various Dragon Species of the Oakland Continent, the Demon Beasts had already destroyed over sixteen major Giant Demon Cities.

Half of the entire Southern region of the Giant Demons had already fallen into the hands of Lince’s Beast Tide.

Wherever the Demon Beasts passed, not a blade of grass was left standing.

Only the human slaves were guaranteed their lives under Lince’s command.

As for the Giant Demons, under the current circumstances, even those who wanted to surrender couldn’t.

Because the front lines were stretching ever further, many Demon Beasts, driven by their appetites, wouldn’t accept a Giant Demon’s surrender at all.

Besides, no one would know, so they just ate them.

Moreover, Lince hadn’t specified how many Giant Demon survivors to leave.

Thus, wherever the Beast Tide went, it was considered a best-case scenario if even a hundred Giant Demon captives survived in any given Giant Demon City.

But the Giant Demons had clearly reacted by now!

Across the Karte World, Giant Demons from all directions were continuously pouring in to reinforce the Southern Giant Demon Cities.

Among them, two Saint Tier Giant Demons from the three major Giant Demon capital cities had even taken action.

Currently, in the central part of Karte’s Southern domain, they were facing off against Amos and two other Saint Tier Magical Beasts.

Under their command, they had even brought nearly a hundred Tier Nine Peak Giant Demons.

These powerhouses carried artifacts comparable to Saint Tier Power, posing a significant deterrent to the Beast Tide.

Because of this, the entire battlefield had finally calmed down slightly.

But this lull was only temporary.

The Saint Tier Giant Demons were probing the strength of Amos and the other Demon Beasts of the Beast Tide; they would hardly engage in a life-or-death battle right from the start.

And Amos and the other Saint Tier Magical Beasts were no different.

Now, with nearly ninety days having passed, the other three Saint Tier Magical Beasts had also long since received Lince’s rewards and gained a new lease on life.

Therefore, they were fighting even more fiercely on the battlefield.

In fact, during their third mutual probe four days ago, the Demon Leopard Graham had even fought a Saint Tier Giant Demon to a standstill, leaving both of them heavily injured.

Lince was speechless about this.

But given the current situation, Lince had no plans to intervene for now.

’I’ll just wait and see.’

Lince didn’t plan to reveal himself. Instead, he was waiting for the ninetieth day to fully arrive.

At that time, this world would surely welcome an all-out assault from even more terrifying Dragon Species!

It wouldn’t just be the Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants taking action, either. This time, when Lince had the Angelina family summon the Dragon Species for an audience, he hadn’t stressed the need to completely hide it from the other races.

’I imagine that when the Dragon Race from all over the continent comes to see me, many spectators from the other races will show up as well.’

Lince was full of anticipation for this.

Because at this moment, Lince was confident that he already possessed the power to control the entire situation on the Oakland Continent.

Sixteen Giant Demon Cities had been breached.

Previously, the True Game hadn’t distributed rewards to Lince on a city-by-city basis.

The war was still ongoing, but three days ago, Lince had ordered all the Demon Beasts to hold their positions and not launch any more rash attacks, creating a stalemate with the Giant Demons.

After this de facto declaration of a temporary truce, Lince’s reward settlement appeared the very next day!

Perhaps because the appearance of the Saint Tier Magical Beasts had lowered the war’s difficulty.

The rewards from this settlement weren’t as high as when Lince had captured a Giant Demon City on his own, but the cumulative total was still quite substantial.

[Congratulations to the Chief Player for initiating a massive campaign and achieving unimaginably rich results in the first phase of the war.]

[The war’s progress is currently stalled. Once you launch a new offensive, the second-phase war evaluation system will resume calculating your settlement rewards.]

[For now, you have been awarded Growth Level +150%!]

[Additionally, you have received three extra rewards, each no weaker than a High Tier Artifact.]

[Random artifact distribution commencing.]

Lince didn’t pay too much attention to the artifact rewards.

He was more interested in a subsequent piece of news from the True Game, which was definitely favorable for him.

[Phase Two of the large-scale campaign can be initiated at any time. As an operational Authority Holder, you may choose to issue a War Recruitment Order before starting the second phase!]

[War Recruitment Order: A server-wide announcement for the True Game. After accepting the recruitment, Players will be teleported in unison to a relatively safe area on the front lines thirty minutes before the campaign begins.]

[This is a moment to showcase the Chief Player’s greatest influence. All Player war rewards will be paid for by the True Game. You only need to confirm whether you wish to issue the War Recruitment Order.]

’A War Recruitment?’

Since the True Game had prompted him this far, Lince would naturally activate it.

’But Players only have one life, and their current strength can’t keep up with my progress or the Beast Tide’s advance. It seems for now they can only serve as support on the battlefield, cleaning up the scraps.’

’What is this all about?’

’Is this to let the Players witness the cruelty of a massive campaign battlefield ahead of time?’

’Or perhaps, is the True Game warming up for the large-scale real-world war missions that are about to come to Blue Star?’

In Lince’s mind, this War Recruitment was mainly to have the Players handle the resettlement of the human slaves from the conquered Giant Demon Cities.

Perhaps they could also occasionally attack some small Giant Demon villages and towns, or even just clean up the remaining Giant Demons left behind by the Beast Tide. That would be enough.

’I won’t consider anything beyond that.’

But at this moment, Lince was a little confused.

’I’m still in the middle of an Inference Day, right?’

’Once this recruitment order is sent, what will happen in the real world?’

’Will all the Players get a notification at midnight? They accept the war recruitment, and then they all just fall asleep?’

Lince didn’t know, but he was quite curious.

But for now, none of that was important.

He could now choose to break through to Tier Nine at any moment. What he was truly looking forward to was the moment he would summon the Dragon Species of the entire Oakland Continent.

And sure enough, he only had to wait two days.

Finally, Lince returned to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, reappearing in the familiar plaza of the Demon God Hall.
