Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 103 - 102: Demon Beasts Gather, Advancing into the Underground Space

Chapter 103: Chapter 102: Demon Beasts Gather, Advancing into the Underground Space

Inference Day, Day Fifteen.

Finally, everything was ready.

Five High Tier Magical Beasts had now gathered in the jungle near a hill deep within the Swamp Territory.

Aside from the two that were initially guarding Lince, a Tier Eight Earth Bear had also arrived.

In addition, there were two Tier Seven beasts, a wolf and an ox, who were brought here under the intimidating gaze of the Tier Eight Earth Bear.

This wolf and ox didn’t even dare to raise their heads in the face of the Tier Eight Earth Bear’s gaze.

Surrounded by a group of one hundred and sixty-seven Middle Tier Magical Beasts, they were as frightened as two little girls.

It couldn’t be helped!

After all, these two High Tier Magical Beasts were not direct subordinates of the Mountain Range Earth Dragon.

As spies planted by two other Overlords in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it was already merciful of the Mountain Range Earth Dragon not to kill them.

However, this was also thanks to Lince’s suggestion.

After all, he’d seen that the Mountain Range Earth Dragon was planning to slaughter a few High Tier Magical Beasts. It would be a waste not to put them to good use.

What a waste it would be to kill them!

It was better to use them to conquer new territory in the Second World.

And these two turncoats weren’t all of them. There was also a Tier Eight and three Tier Sevens that the Mountain Range Earth Dragon couldn’t easily deal with.

He would have to wait until the great battle between High Tiers, then find a way to severely injure and send them over.

’A real Wealth-Bringing Boy... No, more like a Wealth-Bringing Old Man at this point.’

This time, the Mountain Range Earth Dragon supported Lince with a total of five High Tier Magical Beasts: one Tier Eight and four Tier Sevens.

As for Middle Tier Magical Beasts, there were thirteen Tier Six, fifty-nine Tier Five, and ninety-five Tier Four beasts.

As for Low Tier Magical Beasts, there were over five hundred in total, and Lince had requested thirty thousand Tierless ones for cannon fodder.

This lineup accounted for nearly one-tenth of the Demon Beast Tide that the Mountain Range Earth Dragon could command.

This was the first time Lince had ever fought such a well-supplied battle.

If he didn’t conquer all the forests surrounding the ruins in the Second World, it would be a complete waste of such a magnificent army.

The dense Beast Tide moved slowly as instructed. When they reached the outskirts of a hill deep within the Swamp Territory, they all prostrated themselves on the ground as ordered and awaited commands.

In short, there was one rule: minimize all noise and movement.

Meanwhile, high above the Lord’s Mansion in the Swamp Territory...

The Shadow Wind Giant Eagle, following Lince’s instructions, had swiftly brought York over!

At the same time, York had also brought ten of his Knight’s Squires.

From now on, governing the territory in the Second World would require York and these ten Knight’s Squires.

As for the Swamp Territory, with Lucia and York’s father, Baron Eric, in charge, there would be absolutely no problems.

Not to mention, with the Truth Church present, there was no possibility of chaos.

They thought the situation was dangerous, with magical beasts everywhere outside.

But in reality, it was already incredibly safe.

Even if the Demon Beast Tide discovered them, they wouldn’t touch them at all now.

However, it was best to leave things as they were for now.

At least, this way, Lince would have less to explain to the Truth Church.

Now, with the pioneering of a new territory imminent, the less trouble, the better.

Gaining an extra enterprise was a monumental affair for both York and Lince, so it had to be kept as secret as possible.

——————

At a certain moment after York was brought into a rather unfamiliar, deep mountain range...

He was instantly plunged into terror!

"This?! What is all this around here?"

York, carried by the shoulders by the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle, didn’t notice the situation in the forest below at first.

For one, they were too high up, and for another, most of the magical beasts were prostrated on the ground.

But as they descended, York finally began to see clearly!

Sprawled beneath them in the forest was a dense mass of magical beasts.

There were all sorts of magical beasts, so numerous that York couldn’t even see the end of them.

Of course, that wasn’t what numbed and shocked York the most.

It was what he saw at the foot of a certain hill.

There were hundreds of behemoths there.

Each of these magical beasts was no smaller in Body Type than the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle.

Among them, the leading grey-brown bear was over fifty meters long.

Its massive, even bloated, physique meant its tonnage absolutely far exceeded that of the current Rock Steel Giant.

’A High Tier Magical Beast?’

’And an Overlord Level magical beast, a rarity even among High Tiers!’

And what was such an Overlord Level magical beast doing?

It was settled at the foot of the hill, resting quietly with its eyes closed.

And what was on top of the hill?

No one else!

It was the unique and majestic figure of the Rock Steel Giant!

The Rock Steel Giant looked down upon the entire forest below the hill, while the vast number of Middle Tier and higher magical beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, staring up at Him with eager eyes!

"This!!! What in the world is happening?!!!"

"Why do all these magical beasts seem to have submitted to my Lord?"

"Could it be that the Bloodline of a Giant Dragon is that revered among magical beasts?"

"Or... is all of this from an unknown power in the Divine Realm, something we mortals cannot comprehend?"

York was filled with questions, his entire body trembling with excitement.

The ten Knight’s Squires accompanying York, brought by the Shadow Wind Giant Eagle’s brood, were also terrified.

Except for three of the Knight’s Squires, including Paul, who barely managed to remain calm.

The other seven newly appointed Knight’s Squires all wore expressions of sheer terror!

If not for the sight of their leading Viscount remaining calm in the giant eagle’s grasp, they probably would have struggled with all their might to escape this terrifying place.

’Gods above! What is all this!!!’

’So many magical beasts, and there are even Overlord magical beasts that you can tell are High Tier at a glance! What in the world happened here!!!’

’That Giant Dragon-like creature... could that be the avatar of the Space God that the Lord Viscount spoke of?’

’But why do so many magical beasts seem to be submitting to It? Are we sure this deity isn’t a Demon God?’

"..."

The Knight’s Squires were screaming in terror inside their minds.

But at this moment, they had no choice in the matter!

From the moment they became Knight’s Squires of the Swamp Territory, their fates had been deeply bound to it.

Soon, the flock of eagles carrying York and the ten Knight’s Squires landed one by one.

At that moment, all the surrounding magical beasts turned their gazes upon them.

One by one, the magical beasts stared at the humans. Even though they had long been ordered not to harm them, they couldn’t help but reveal looks of malice and even contempt.

Under the gazes of over a thousand magical beasts and the disdainful stares of five High Tier Magical Beasts, even York’s legs felt as if they were filled with lead.

As for the other ten Knight’s Squires, they were in an even worse state.

Their faces were pale, and cold sweat dripped down their brows.

If they hadn’t already reached Entry Tier, they would have collapsed to the ground right then and there.

York, braving the immense pressure from the condescending gaze of the Tier Eight brown bear, arrived at the foot of the hill.

He mustered his courage and shouted:

"York Smith, Viscount of the Swamp Territory and Holy Son of the great Space God, has come with his Squires in answer to the Divine Call!"

"I pray Your great Majesty is well in the Divine Kingdom, and that the light of Your Divine Grace will one day shine upon the entire mortal world!"

York used his Magic Power to shout these words with the loudest voice he had ever used in his life.

His excitement and apprehension were completely transformed into immense ambition at this moment!

York’s mind raced, connecting many dots.

He even considered certain signs related to the Rock Steel Giant’s current Giant Dragon Bloodline.

From this, it was clear that the identity of the Majesty who had shown him favor was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

Furthermore, during this Beast Tide, His Majesty must have contacted some of the top Sub-dragon Overlords in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

If not, there was no way to explain the current situation.

Perhaps His Majesty’s identity was also closely related to the Dragon Race.

Perhaps His Majesty Himself was...

York didn’t dare to guess any further!

But what he had already guessed was enough to sweep away all his previous gloom, making him suddenly inspired and fanatical!

’The Swamp Territory is trapped? A great disaster?’

’No! Looking at the situation now, this Beast Tide is an absolute blessing for the Swamp Territory!’

The fact that His Majesty had summoned him at this very moment, without even trying to distance himself, proved that his Divine Favor was absolutely unquestionable!

’My destiny is already deeply intertwined with His Majesty!’

’And now, His Majesty has summoned me because there must be something important he needs me to do.’

’Therefore, something even more important, more legendary, must be waiting for me, York, to carry out.’

’This might be the beginning of my legendary life!’

The stories of Deities and their favored mortals often begin like this, just like the great heroes and Saints of ancient times.

Accompanied by a god, rising from obscurity to sweep away worldly enemies and establish a great legacy!

’Now, it’s all about to happen!’

’Otherwise, why would all these magical beasts, so many High and Middle Tier ones, be gathered here?!’

’But no matter how many or how strong these magical beasts are!’

’His Majesty still favors me! He still needs me to do what he needs done!’

York understood clearly that he must have a mission born of Divine Favor!

And this was a mission that other magical beasts, even High Tier beings, could not fulfill!

This was why York grew ever more agitated and fervent!

Seeing York’s fervor, and the strange expressions on the countless magical beasts who heard his words in the common tongue, the Rock Steel Giant swept a majestic gaze over the crowd.

Instantly, the magical beasts lowered their heads in fear.

Only the Tier Eight magical beast, the Earth Bear that possessed a sliver of rare Sub-dragon bloodline, dared to remain calm.

However, the Earth Bear’s gaze toward Lince held no hostility, only a hint of something strange, even desire.

Lince knew what this was about, but he said nothing.

For the moment, Lince said nothing at all.

Instead, in the next moment, he suddenly unleashed his Magic Power.

Then, abruptly, the side of the hill began to tremble.

A flat cliff face then began to melt and dissolve.

Instantly, a huge underground passage, over fifty meters in both height and width, appeared!

Inside the tunnel, which looked as if it were made of Metal, the light of Magic Crystals illuminated everything.

The passage extended from the cliffside down into a bottomless, dark Underground Space!

At this moment, the Rock Steel Giant finally spoke!

"Let’s begin! Follow me underground! Phemos, please bring my Holy Son and the other humans inside."

"High and Middle Tier Magical Beasts will go first. The rest will enter on my command. Remain vigilant!"

After speaking, Lince gave the Earth Bear a meaningful look.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the numerous magical beasts, he used his Space Travel ability to locate the Blood Contract Demon Bear in the Underground Space. In an instant, he vanished into a ripple in space.

This bizarre scene startled many of the magical beasts.

The Earth Bear, however, watched this with an expression that seemed to say, ’Of course.’

He looked down at York and the others, then turned to the Middle-High Tier Magical Beasts behind him.

The next moment, the entire horde of magical beasts began to move!
