Chapter 720 Rain in the Forest
Although Hoggs and the other demon kings hoped that the Beast King would directly capture the human hero, they also knew that he preferred to keep a low profile, so they couldn't force him.
As long as the other party is willing to guarantee a minimum return, it's not unacceptable; they'll just have to put in a little more effort.
After a moment's thought, the demon kings decided it was worthwhile to join the fray and thus agreed to the all-out war.
"In that case, let's all agree on one goal! This time, against humanity, we must launch a full-scale attack to ensure a successful defeat!!!"
Hoggs was naturally very satisfied with the current situation. He looked around and was extremely excited to find that almost all of his high-end combat forces had entered the arena.
After using an exciting minor spell, he immediately launched into a declaration of war:
"We will crush them!"
"Then plunder their land!"
"Playing with their lives!"
"They are no match for us!"
"We are the strongest!!!"
"Victory ultimately belongs to us!!!"
With Hoggs's declaration of war, the entire monster cave was in an uproar. Monsters are inherently warlike, let alone their mortal enemies, humans.
They roared excitedly, causing the entire cave to tremble.
"We are the strongest!!"
"The strongest!!!"
"The strongest!!!"
"Kill those humans!"
"Kill them!"
"kill!!!"
Hoggs smiled as he watched the excitedly roaring monsters.
He had a premonition that these creatures would become the most terrifying natural disaster, unleashing a destructive force from the forest, then sweeping over the weak humans and annihilating them, just as he had said:
Victory will ultimately belong to the monsters!
.......
Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~
The sky over the Titia Forest suddenly darkened, and layers of dark clouds abruptly obscured the previously dazzling sun. Drops of rain seeped from the clouds, showering every unprepared adventurer.
"Hmm? I remember it wasn't raining today..."
As the rain intensified, Urad, the curly-haired man standing in the shop, wore a puzzled expression.
He had studied divination with his mentor, and according to his deduction this morning, today should have been a sunny day with bright sunshine. How could it suddenly start raining?
He rarely makes mistakes in predicting celestial phenomena, and as time goes on, he only becomes more and more skilled. He can't even remember the last time he made a wrong prediction.
Now, several days later, I never expected that the prediction would be wrong again...
“How strange…”
Uraldo muttered something to himself, then stopped paying attention to the rain. The weather is always unpredictable, and there's no need to worry too much about not being able to predict it.
Just like people, you never know what they'll do next...
"Really missing??"
Urad played with the Mira in his hand, turning this beloved object between his fingers.
He looked at the old man in the shop, and although his tone was casual, he couldn't hide his surprise.
Did I miscalculate again? Was it an accident? Or...?
"I don't know either, I just haven't seen them come back."
The old shopkeeper's tone was somewhat somber. He was not saddened by the Beto brothers and the three-headed lion, but rather by the fact that he had not received the 3 Mira.
Did they perish together?
"Although we didn't find those insects, would you like to look at something else? My place may not be as nice as the shops in big cities, but I still have quite a few rare items!"
When neither of them returned, the old shopkeeper assumed they had simply disappeared. However, he was more interested in making money, so he set his sights on Urad, hoping to profit from this wealthy man.
"Sigh~ I thought I could get something out of this. In that case, I won't wait any longer. Things are changing rapidly in the forest lately, and I don't have time to waste here."
"As for your goods... you should keep them for yourself!"
After saying this, Urado ignored the old shopkeeper's disappointed expression and immediately prepared to leave.
But at that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake...
Boom! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The ground trembled violently at first, then, to the astonishment of the two men, a deafening roar erupted, followed by the camp's alarm bells and the guards' shouts.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
Enemy attack?
Both the old shopkeeper and Urado showed expressions of surprise upon hearing this.
It should be noted that although this is only a front-line camp, it is home to a large number of mercenaries, and its defensive strength is comparable to that of a front-line battlefield. For a camp, this is more than enough.
Although the monsters are brutal, they are definitely not stupid. Why would they be so foolish as to attack this area, which requires a high price, has no resources, and is not a military stronghold?
Is this some kind of stupidity?
and many more!
unless.....
Urado suddenly remembered something, and immediately rushed out of the shop and then came to the outskirts of the camp.
"Kill!!"
When he arrived, the place had already been ravaged by war. A large number of monsters appeared out of nowhere and began to attack the place, fighting and killing the mercenaries in the camp.
The battlefield was filled with shouts of battle, blood splattered everywhere, corpses fell one after another, and life was being lost at an alarming pace.
"This quantity... is wrong! Absolutely wrong!!!"
Urad did not join the battle immediately. Instead, he quickly scanned the area and looked at the bloodthirsty monsters. His shock grew as he looked at them.
The reason was simply that there were so many monsters joining the battle. He had never seen so many monsters attacking a small camp before, and there were so many different kinds of monsters.
They disliked each other but for some reason they joined forces and began to attack each other's camp.
This was absolutely not a random outburst, but a premeditated attack!
Is it possible...
Urado's heart sank as he began to imagine the worst-case scenario. Just as he was pondering what was going on, a series of earth-shattering sounds once again echoed from the depths of the forest, hidden by lush trees.
Boom! ! !
Boom boom boom! ! !
Boom boom boom boom!!!
Accompanied by several muffled thuds, an extremely powerful aura came from the forest. Urad, who was still in his silver body, almost lost his balance and fell to the ground after being hit by this impact.
Upon realizing what was happening, he quickly revealed a look of horror:
"Oh no!!!"
Roar! ! ! ! !
