Chapter 63: Heavy Losses, Encounter
On the other side, Yang Fan's expression was equally unsightly.
These monkey soldiers seemed able to pinpoint his location, recklessly coming from all directions to intercept him.
In just one short day, Yang Fan had encountered more than ten battles. Although the demon monkeys he met weren't strong, they delayed the army's march significantly.
At this moment, Yang Fan didn't dare delay for a second. He knew clearly in his heart that the army of a million demon monkeys was definitely pursuing him.
"The god of this Divine Kingdom is still here, and all my actions are under the opponent's gaze. If this continues, it's only a matter of time before I'm caught."
Yang Fan's eyes turned fierce as he issued an order: "Leave 200,000 ordinary soldiers behind to cut down all the trees in this forest and pile them together. If the demon monkey army comes, set them on fire immediately. Delay them for as long as possible."
Orders were strictly followed. As a god, Yang Fan's believers would not have the slightest doubt about his commands, even if they knew staying behind meant certain death.
"I must be faster. The opponent's two most important forces are at the core of the Divine Kingdom and the valley from just now. Although there are many monkey soldiers elsewhere, they are extremely scattered. If I encounter them, I'll have the strength to fight. Once I reach the outer perimeter, the pressure will shift to the school."
To speed up, Yang Fan even had the soldiers take off their armor and travel light. He didn't care if this resulted in greater sacrifices during the march.
As for the buildings and spiritual plants encountered along the way, Yang Fan ignored them all.
Luo Bing and Li Tianheng's forces had now sharply decreased to two million.
The demon monkey soldiers in the mountains were recklessly charging their formation, acting as if they were prepared for mutual destruction.
"Sister Bing, the enemy god has made a move. These beasts' formations are much stronger than before; we are no match for them."
"Brother Tianheng, withdraw quickly. I don't have many sources of troops left in my Divine Kingdom. If we continue, we'll all be stuck here."
"I miscalculated. A demi-god isn't someone we can mess with right now. After we go back, I'll have my father find a way to track down this demi-god. Since they have this kind of ability but started by fighting us back and forth, were they just playing with us?"
"Retreat quickly, run towards the outer perimeter, and leave 500,000 people to guard the rear."
…
"Luo Mingxuan! You actually left me alone and ran? How shameless! We agreed to advance and retreat together!"
"Brother, I'm sorry. I don't want to die. If I can survive, I'll compensate you for your losses when we get out." Luo Mingxuan apologized while leading his army in flight.
…
"What happened? Where did all these demon monkeys come from? How did they all suddenly pop up?"
"This is the handiwork of an Alien Demi-god. That damn school, they're trying to kill us!"
"When I get out alive, I'm going to tell my father to stop donating to No. 1 High School."
"Son of a bitch, I haven't lived long enough yet. Sister Ruyan, I'm afraid I won't be able to come see you at 'Heaven on Earth' anymore!"
…
At the outermost edge of the Divine Kingdom, a student let out a scream.
"Alien believers! It's the demon monkeys! Everyone, run!"
"Don't panic, brother, I'll help you. It's just an ordinary demon monkey. I bought quite a few weapons; a hundred or two believers should be able to take it down."
Seeing that alien believers had actually appeared here, Zhang Pang hurriedly took a step back, shielding the other students in front of him.
"Slipped away, slipped away. It's still too dangerous here. I'm still young; I can't take risks." Zhang Pang led his believers and retreated.
The entire Divine Kingdom was in total chaos now. The demon monkeys killed anyone they saw, and the large amount of blood further stimulated the ferocity of these beasts.
Outside, a scream suddenly came from the playground. A nutrient pod was forced open, and a student simply evaporated in front of everyone.
The core of the Divine Kingdom was breached by demon beasts, and casualties among the students had begun to appear.
"Director Yang, if this continues, I'm afraid something major will happen. Even if the students of No. 1 High School follow the logistics path, they can still provide a lot of support to the front lines in the future. Their lives cannot be wasted in vain like this," Luo Chengfeng said in a serious tone.
"This… I can't make the call. The Principal has been here the whole time. If things truly get out of control, he will naturally step in." Yang Wanli's expression was somewhat unsightly.
"It's all because of that grandson-in-law of yours. Relying on the power of rules to move the opponent's core Divine Kingdom building away… with such underhanded methods, how could that monkey not go crazy?" Li Yuan snorted coldly.
If Yang Fan truly had the strength, it would be one thing, but he used opportunistic methods. Now, the entire third-year class has to shoulder the burden with him. This kind of behavior is truly unsightly.
Luo Chengfeng said in a cold tone, "Yang Fan did not violate the school rules. What's wrong with using some methods? Do you all send a formal visit request before starting a Divine Kingdom war with an alien race, telling them exactly when you will attack?"
"You…"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Yang Wanli spoke up to advise them: "Alright, Yang Fan is not in the wrong. In the end, it was our school's own lack of consideration. To cultivate the students' combat awareness and prevent them from wasting all their time on resource collection, the Principal added such a clause to the contract."
In Yang Wanli's view, there was nothing wrong with Yang Fan's actions; it was just that the consequences triggered were somewhat severe.
That monkey seemed to have gone mad. If this continued, it wouldn't be an assessment anymore, but a massacre.
"Principal, don't hold these students to such high expectations. Please, make your move!" Yang Wanli thought to himself.
Yang Fan had been sprinting through the Divine Kingdom for over a month. During this time, he had encountered no fewer than a hundred interceptions, and the total force the opponent had committed was as high as 300,000.
Coupled with various defensive structures and harsh environments, his losses this month were greater than all his previous losses combined. He had already consumed nearly 700,000 ordinary soldiers.
Now, Yang Fan only had 300,000 elite soldiers left. Even with his Evolution Talent, he couldn't withstand this kind of consumption.
"Transfer another 50,000 elderly and 50,000 women from the Divine Kingdom. Have them cut trees and dig trenches," Yang Fan ordered again.
To block the pursuers, he even abandoned nearly 500,000 elderly and female believers who had no combat capability.
If this continued, he would even have to pull out the children in the Divine Kingdom who hadn't grown up yet.
"As expected of a demi-god powerhouse, truly terrifying," Yang Fan said with a grim face.
Because everything had gone too smoothly along the way, Yang Fan had underestimated the strength of this demi-god.
If things continued at this pace, he might not be able to escape.
Just then, a small squad of soldiers suddenly came to report.
"My God, we have found traces of the human race not far ahead."
Yang Fan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Catch up to them," Yang Fan said.
After a day, Yang Fan finally found the group; it was Luo Bing and the others.
At this time, the aura of the other party's believers was also very weak, appearing as if they had just experienced a great battle. However, their numbers were still as high as two million, making them definitely the strongest team in the third-year class.
"Sister Bing, Brother Tianheng, help! These monkeys have gone crazy!" Yang Fan's consciousness called out loudly.
"Why are you here?" Li Tianheng looked surprised.
Li Tianheng naturally knew Yang Fan. After all, he was a member of the group, and given how well the other party had performed in the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle recently, he was naturally worth noticing.
However, this area was still within the core range of the Divine Kingdom. He hadn't expected Yang Fan to dare to come here to explore.
