“What a blatant conspiracy. These people are really interesting!”

The voices of Lofini and the others reached Rogeria and Bernal’s ears clearly.

“You must know that these demons are not the normal wild beasts. Have these guys actually dealt with monsters before?”

“If not for you, I don’t think a demon can understand human language.”

Bernal replied to Rogeria indifferently, his eyes focused on the battle between the chess pieces.

There was no doubt that monsters had intelligence and knew how to think, but the language of monsters and humans was not similar.

Even if he cursed at the monsters, he still could not understand things that he could not understand.

“I didn’t do anything. Don’t look at me like that, I do abide by the rules.”

Rogeria spread her hands innocently.

Bernal did not comment on this. His opponent was much stronger than him.

She could do what he could do. She could also do whatever he could not.

It was too easy for Rogeria to pull some tricks behind the back without him realizing it.

Bernal’s eyes rolled around as his attention landed on the battlefield on the chessboard.

A battlefield watched by God was rather sacred.

It did not allow interference from others, but ‘others’ referred to a third party.

There was no such thing on the chessboard at the moment.

In other words…

The so-called demonic creature’s deliberate avoidance was merely a facade.

Bernal knew this, but he was not in a hurry, because he believed that the chess piece he had chosen could deal with it.

It was Rogeria’s turn. She tapped on a monster in the air with a smile.

Bernal placed his hand on a new warrior to deal with it.

Outside the City Wall of Rockrevas.

Lofini’s subordinates acted according to the initial agreement.

As their attention was focused on the rhinoceros, they did not notice the other monsters that were quietly approaching.

They also did not notice the irregular bulge on the ground.

As they moved, the muscular rhinoceros did not idle. It rubbed its foot against the ground, and the flames on its body burned even more fiercely.

Roar!

With a series of howls, the muscle rhinoceros turned into a huge fireball and rushed towards Lofini.

“Now! Quick!”

Upon noticing the muscle rhinoceros’s movement, Lofini picked up his bow and quickly drew it.

Battle aura followed his finger and poured into the arrow.

Swoosh!

“Come on, you monster!”

After being injected with his battle aura, it was like an enchantment buff. The power of ordinary arrows was immediately enhanced.

The arrow flew like a meteor that passed through the muscle rhinoceros, leaving a hole in its body.

The muscular rhinoceros ran a few steps, but it realized that humans were blocking it from front to back and from all directions. As for the rows of spears, they were standing up against it.

The soldiers quickly surrounded it from both sides and quickly blocked its path.

At the same time, Lofini kept on shooting the enhanced arrows that contained battle aura, as more and more wounds appeared in the muscle rhinoceros’s body.

In the blink of an eye, the muscular rhinoceros was already riddled with holes.

However, neither Lofini nor his men let down their guard.

The other party was a monster that they had never seen before. They did not know what trick this monster had up its sleeves.

They would not relax until they made sure the monster was dead.

Crack!

Just as everyone’s attention was attracted by the muscular rhinoceros, the ground suddenly cracked, and then huge figures sprang out from the ground.

“Hiss!”

The demonic creatures roared. The moment they emerged, they attacked the humans nearest to them.

“This isn’t good!”

Lofini looked at the monsters that had suddenly barged into the battlefield with an ugly expression, and he hurriedly took out his spear. Battle aura burst forth from his body, and he was about to rush into the battlefield to support his men.

The situation was dangerous, and Lofini did not even have the time to blame himself.

However, just as he was about to proceed, a hand pressed down onto Lofini’s shoulder.

“Don’t be rash!”

The voice was flat, but it seemed to cast magic that calmed Lofini down. His emotions quietened, and the anxious expression on his face disappeared instantly.

After coming to his senses, Lofini looked at that person and said calmly, “Why are you here?”

“If I’m not, you would have died in vain like your men right now.”

This man was wearing heavy armor, much different from ordinary soldiers. He was well-equipped, and a layer of mysterious patterns could be vaguely seen flickering with a strange brilliance.

It was a set of magic armor.

He was the first chess piece moved by Bernal, the commander of the infantry regiment of the Rockevas border defense garrison—Parkes.

Parkes was one of the three strongest people in Rockrevas. His combat aura was similarly trained like Bernal’s father, with color as bright and dazzling as gold.

“This is a battlefield. You must maintain calm at all times and not let your emotions control you.”

Patting Lofini’s shoulder lightly, Parkes stepped around the protective barrier and headed for the rhino-like monster.

Looking at Parkes’ back, Lofini said expressionlessly, “I understand.”

[Combat Skill: Lucid Halo]

It allowed one to maintain a clear mind at all times and not be lost in unnecessary emotions.

With this skill, Parkes could deal with any situation in his best mental state like a cold war machine.

“Mutated monster, something must have happened in the forest.”

Looking at the groups of monsters in front of him, Parkes thought as his gaze moved along these monsters.

“There are no conflicts between the monsters. It’s different from the usual situation.”

After realizing this, Parkes said to Lofinni, who was behind him, “Lofini, leave this to me. Go tell the Margrave that these monsters were intentionally created by someone. They should be from the same batch as the ones in the day.”

“What?”

“Even if they aren’t the same group of monsters, there should be some connection between the two attacks.”

“I understand. In that case, I’ll leave it to you, Commander Fitch.”

Lofini was still under the effects of the halo as he replied indifferently. He nodded towards Parkes’ back and left.

As for Parkes, he was already surrounded by various strange-looking monsters in a short while.

His calm gaze swept across these monsters.

“Although your appearances have changed too much, I can still see your original appearances.”

Flaming Rhinoceros, Poisonous Cobra, Ground Digging Sandworm…
