The southern part of the Emerald Green Plains used to be a dense forest.
The reason why there was the word 'used to' was because a few minutes ago, there was less than a tenth of the forest left and the rest had been turned into a wasteland.
Millions of demons had just passed by and they had destroyed everything that stood in their way, including the trees, the rocks, and the creatures in the forest.
Some monsters, such as the Lava Boar and the Swamp Scale Snake, which were covered in flames, acid, and venom, would even leave a trail of death on the ground that was covered in flames or poisonous gas.
Just like on the African savannah, even the most powerful lion was just a chicken in front of a stampeding herd of wild bulls. Even the royal knights and court mages could only choose to be trampled to death or be knocked to death in the face of this vast sea of magical creatures.
Even the less than a tenth of the forest was in danger.
If they broke through the forest and ran into the Emerald Green Plains, once they attacked the human army, the human army would be instantly routed and suffer heavy casualties.
It was at this time that Yi Qing came to the last fortress that had been built outside the forest for close to a hundred years, the last fortress that humans had built against the demon beast sea.
Even in the fortress, one could already hear the rumbling sounds of the monsters charging over. The water in the teacup on the table had ripples that didn't stop because of the trembling of the ground.
The pillars of smoke and flames that soared into the sky behind the forest showed just how bad the environment was.
From time to time, the unique sound of wood fibers breaking could be heard when towering trees were knocked down, followed by the sound of birds fleeing in panic.
Everything was telling Yi Qing just how terrifying the situation he was about to face was.
"Little Qian, Xue Yao, I've changed my mind." Yi Qing pulled out his sword and took a deep breath, "Before the Magic Airship that brought us here pulls out its anchor, quickly get on it and escape with the people here!"
Even with the cheat-level ability of the 'War God's Blessing', coupled with the skills honed on the battlefield and the recently awakened power of the 'Brave Heart', it was already inconceivable for them to face hundreds of monsters at once. But this time, their enemies were actually close to a million …
It was fine when he didn't see it, so this number of enemies was only in his mind. But after seeing it, Yi Qing didn't have the ambition to block all the monsters, he just hoped that Lin Qian and Xia Xue Yao could escape.
"Idiot Yi Qing, what do you want to do!" Lin Qian was the first to protest.
"I'm also against it." Xia Xue Yao agreed with Lin Qian, "Classmate Yi Qing, it's not good to change your mind."
"If it was me, I could at least fight with the demons with my agility, but this situation is too disadvantageous for you."
Yi Qing stopped joking and replied seriously, "As expected, I think it's better for you to reconsider."
The two girls looked at each other before they revealed a smile.
"Idiot Yi Qing, don't you know why we came here with you?" Lin Qian put one hand on her waist, her right hand almost poking Yi Qing's nose. "To be honest, I still feel unreal when that princess suddenly threw such a heavy burden on my shoulders … … But if I'm with you, I'll feel that 'maybe I can really do it' … …"
Even with Lin Qian's somewhat shrewish temperament, saying this was no different from a confession, and a charming blush appeared on her face. "But you coward, you actually want me to leave you behind and run away alone. How can I do such a thing?"
"But the situation now is really dangerous … …"
Yi Qing still found it difficult to let the girls go to hell with him. "Aren't you afraid?"
"Well … … Of course I'm afraid." Lin Qian wanted to be brave, but in the end, she showed a weak and helpless smile. "To be honest, my legs are a little weak now. But no matter what, I can't leave you behind. Hasn't it always been like this since we were young? "
When they were young, although the two families were neighbors, because of the difference in their parents' jobs, they did not have much contact. Yi Qing's father was a narcotics officer, and her mother was a full-time housewife who occasionally did odd jobs. Lin Qian's mother was a famous TV star at that time, and her father was her mother's agent.
Then one day, when Lin Qian was still in kindergarten, she was kidnapped by her mother's fanatical fans.
Because her father's job was dangerous, Yi Qing, who received special education, was more mature and vigilant than other children.
After notifying the police, little Yi Qing quietly followed the gangsters and used a series of plans to distract them and rescue the frightened little girl.
In the end, she was still found by the two fanatical fans who had mental problems. Little Yi Qing was also injured by a gun during the chase. If the police had not come in time, she would have died there.
Even today, Yi Qing's abdomen still had scars from that incident, but it was also from that time that Lin Qianqian had been following Yi Qing around. After Yi Qing lost his father at a young age, the girl forced herself to be strong and took care of him silently like an older sister. Of course, Lin Qianqian seemed to have taken care of Yi Qing more often.
"Objection, Ali." Xia Xueyao was like a KY, mercilessly breaking the tacit eye contact between the two. She said in her usual tone, "Your Honor, I have something to say."
"You still want to joke at this time … …" Lin Qian subtly admired Xia Xueyao's mentality.
"I'm from the Heavenly Department," Xia Xueyao continued as if she did not hear her. "Little Qian Qian (Lin Qian: Who is Little Qian Qian!) We're childhood friends, so generally speaking, it's my victory. "
"Although I don't know what you're talking about, I feel angry … …"
The veins on Lin Qian's forehead were bulging.
In this regard, Yi Qing could only laugh dryly and perfunctorily.
However, the atmosphere of life and death became much more relaxed because of Xia Xueyao's jesting.
Not far away, the last barrier of the jungle was also destroyed by the monsters. The mighty monsters rushed towards the fortress like the tide of the Qiantang River.
"It's too late to run now. In this case, we can only fight to the end together." Yi Qing sighed, then raised his long sword and shouted at the soldiers in the fortress who were about to turn and run with fear, "Although the Frost Eagle Empire is big, there's no way out. Behind us is the capital! Running away is useless. You will only be sent to the Netherworld faster if you turn your back to the enemy! If we can't stop these monsters here, your wives, children, parents, and everything of humanity will be trampled and destroyed by these monsters, becoming fertilizer for the earth! I swear in the name of the Hero that for the glory of humanity and the great victory, I will defend this place with you and will not take a single step back! "
Lin Qian used Wind Elemental Magic when Yi Qing was speaking, increasing his voice by several times so that everyone present could hear him.
Although they were very afraid of the endless sea of monsters, those soldiers knew that with the Magic Airships leaving, they couldn't outrun the four legged monsters no matter what. Since running was a path to death, they might as well fight to the end like heroes.
Especially after Sir Brave Warrior said those words, it was as if they had found a pillar of support. They all started shouting to boost their courage while trying their best to raise their morale.
"Defend this place to the death, we swear to never retreat!"
Yi Qing who was the instigator let out a sigh as his hand holding his sword was covered in sweat. Although there were guards appointed by the empire, now that the Hero had appeared here, there was no doubt that he was the center of everyone's attention and the role model of the soldiers.
There were already some flying monsters that were flying fast that had entered the airspace of the fortress. The soldiers were trying their best to shoot them down with their crossbows, but the effects weren't that good.
The most important thing was that the beast tide would hit the fortress in less than half a minute.
No matter who it was, their nerves were stretched to their limits at this moment. Even when a giant white hemisphere appeared in the forest, they didn't notice it at all.
After that, Yi Qing realized that the white hemisphere that was spreading and tearing the earth apart was because of the high density of the air, creating something like a wind barrier.
In short, there was a huge explosion that caused the air to spread at supersonic speed.
Countless monsters that did not manage to get out of the range of the explosion were pulled up into the air along with the ground, before being torn into pieces that could not even be identified. Then, as the debris spread outwards in the air, they turned into something as powerful as a shotgun bullet, or perhaps even more powerful. Those monsters that had escaped the range of the white ball were all turned into sieves, and were thus engulfed in the explosion!
Only the monsters that were wearing heavy armor and running in front were spared.
When the aftermath of the explosion was about to engulf the fortress, the terrifying wind barrier finally stopped spreading, but this caused more serious secondary damage. The air in the white hemisphere was completely blown away by the powerful explosion, so much so that the space that occupied almost the entire forest became a vacuum. Once the force that expelled the air disappeared, the air would be sucked back into the vacuum under the strong atmospheric pressure. This phenomenon was more directly shown by the rotation of the planet — a huge tornado rose from the ground and appeared in the middle of the forest!
Most of the monsters that escaped the explosion were once again sucked in and disappeared completely. Only a few monsters were left in front of the fortress …
The tornado strangely didn't show any signs of movement until it disappeared. After it disappeared, the forest that was still in ruins was now completely barren. Through the telescope that Lin Qianqian made with her ice magic, Yi Qing saw a black-haired young man standing at the center of the explosion, at the eye of the tornado. He was punching the ground.
"…"
At first, Yi Qing thought that after seeing the creator of all this, he would have feelings like 'awe' or 'fear'. But now, he only had the corner of his mouth twitching, but he didn't have such feelings.
The reason was simple.
"Is that guy … a pervert?" Lin Qianqian summed it up concisely.
Yes, because the other party was naked …
