Chapter 141: The Final Decisive Battle

At the highest point in the center of the city, a high tower woven from dozens of giant trees pierced straight into the sky.

"Haguru, what's been going on lately? You haven't come to find me for a drink?" a slightly flippant voice rang out.

"I ran into some trouble, Girus."

"What kind of trouble?"

"An Alien Demi-god… has invaded my divine kingdom."

The moment these words were spoken, the look in the eyes of the one named Girus changed instantly.

His original casual and loose demeanor completely vanished. He sized Haguru up from head to toe, his expression becoming solemn.

"Your divine kingdom… was invaded?"

"Yes," Haguru sighed. "Fortunately, I had set up a large number of defensive buildings in advance."

"At the beginning, the opponent had five hundred million troops. Now, I have worn them down to less than a hundred million."

"But… I'm not sure how many more trump cards he has. So—I've come to you for help."

As his voice fell, the air grew slightly silent.

Girus, however, showed a hint of difficulty. "It's not that I won't help, it's just… I've also been participating in a Divine Kingdom War lately, and I really can't spare any troops."

"Girus, we've been friends since we were kids, you…"

Before Haguru could finish, Girus waved his hand and interrupted, his tone becoming perfunctory. "Your divine kingdom is currently at war, so I shouldn't keep you. Hurry back and take command."

"It's just a mere hundred million aliens. With our Goblin Breeding ability, we can grind them to death even if it's just through attrition."

"When you're done fighting, we'll drink again."

He spoke lightly, but had absolutely no intention of taking action.

"Girus, you…"

"The door is that way."

Girus cut him off directly, his tone cold: "Please leave."

At this moment, Haguru fell silent. Looking at the other man's expression, a flash of disappointment and gloom flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Help me once, and both B-Grade Buildings in my divine kingdom—the Goblin Breeding Towers—will be yours."

"Take care, I won't see you out." Girus didn't even lift an eyelid.

The air turned completely cold. Haguru stood for a moment and finally said nothing more. He only let out a long sigh, turned around, and left with heavy steps.

After he left, Girus lazily leaned back in his seat, pulled a female Goblin to his side, and began to exercise while drinking wine.

"My Lord… why didn't you agree just now?" the female Goblin asked in a low voice, her breath coming in gasps.

"Those were two B-Grade Buildings…"

Girus sneered, a flash of shrewdness in his eyes.

"You don't understand. Haguru is a loner. Except for me, he has almost no friends."

"And after he made a Breakthrough to become a demi-god, he became more and more cautious. Would he come to beg me if he weren't at a dead end?"

He gave a cold laugh.

"He says there's only a hundred million enemy troops left?"

"Heh…"

"If it were really that simple, would he risk exposing his divine kingdom coordinates to come find me?"

Girus's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone meaningful: "This fellow has likely been pushed to the brink."

"Divine Kingdom Wars are exceptionally dangerous. Once I participate, my own divine kingdom coordinates are also at risk of exposure. He's just a fair-weather friend; a mere two B-Grade Buildings aren't worth me taking this risk." Girus sneered, his tone full of shrewdness and indifference.

"My Lord is wise," the female Goblin said, her face full of admiration.

She was only a Divine Being. To her, B-Grade Buildings were unattainable existences, and she had nearly let the temptation cloud her mind just now.

Girus suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "You did remind me of something, though."

"Send a message to Haguru in a bit. If he's willing, I can purchase his Breeding towers at ten percent above market price. These kinds of resource buildings are always in high demand in the Mall. In his current situation—he'll likely be tempted."

As he spoke, he became increasingly excited, his movements becoming more vigorous, and the female Goblin's face was filled with pain.

None who can become a demi-god are simple.

Had he not known Haguru's divine kingdom coordinates, he might not have been able to loot him while his Origin Qi was heavily depleted.

——

In the evening, within the Divine Kingdom Battlefield, Haguru was focusing all his attention on commanding his believers in battle when he suddenly received a message.

When he saw the contents clearly, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"A ten percent increase?" He sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "It's not like I can't sell them to anyone else, so why should I give you a bargain?"

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly listed the two B-Grade Building Goblin Breeding Towers in the Mall at a price ten percent higher than the market rate.

The transaction was completed quickly, and one hundred and twenty divinity points were credited to his account.

Looking at this sum of capital, a ruthless glint flashed in Haguru's eyes.

"Since you want my divine kingdom core, then let's see if you'll feel the sting next!"

He held nothing back, pouring all his capital into the divine kingdom's defensive system!

C-Grade Defensive Buildings were frantically laid out around the divine kingdom core. The battle lines were continuously reinforced, and his forces kept shrinking back toward the core.

He was going to make a final stand at the core position!

"So many years of development, all ruined in a single day." Haguru sighed deeply, exhaustion appearing in his eyes.

"If I can survive, perhaps I should find a Family to attach myself to. Even if I'm restricted by others—at least I won't be isolated and helpless like I am now."

He had already made a decision. As long as he could get through this danger, he would sell his services to a great Family and become a titular Elder.

——

Meanwhile, the army led by Yang San finally advanced to the outskirts of the divine kingdom core.

The scene before them was completely different from the outside.

Towers stood in great numbers; twisted and thick wooden giant towers rose from the ground, densely packed with Goblin archers whose bowstrings were taut and arrowheads glinted with a faint light.

Further out were towering ancient trees woven into walls, their branches intertwining to form a thick and tough natural barrier. Like a city wall, they tightly protected the core area.

Outside the walls were vast marshes where black mud churned, accompanied by a foul stench and permeating toxic mist. With the slightest carelessness, one would sink into it and be continuously corroded.

The entire area was like a meticulously arranged fortress.

Seeing this, Yang San raised his hand to signal the army to stop.

His gaze was solemn, and he showed a rare hint of hesitation.

"Master, the defensive strength here is dozens of times greater than the outskirts, and there is a large Goblin army stationed here. This should be the site of the final decisive battle."

"With our current troop strength, if we force an attack, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory," Yang San's voice rang out in Yang Fan's mind.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan's consciousness descended into the divine kingdom.

"What are your suggestions?" Yang Fan asked.

The other party was a high-level intelligent life of the war type, more professional in the field of warfare than himself. Yang Fan naturally understood the principle that every profession has its specialty.

Yang San did not hesitate and quickly gave a plan: "First, apply to mobilize additional troops. In this type of siege warfare, the more sufficient the troops, the lower the overall losses. I suggest reinforcing with double the current troop strength."

"Second, I ask Master to issue a Divine Oracle to draft one hundred thousand Adult Elves to participate in the battle."

He swept his gaze toward the towers ahead.

"The Ten Halls of Yama Array is more suitable for an open battlefield and lacks an advantage in siege warfare. If we have Elves for long-range suppression to prioritize clearing the enemy archers, it will greatly reduce soldier casualties."

After listening, Yang Fan nodded and then looked at Yang Yi: "Do as he says."

"Yes, Master." Yang Yi immediately executed the order.
