Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely-Chapter 80: Earth Cavern Race Territory

Looking again, the city wall was already crowded with rows of archers, shooting in unison at the frozen aliens.

Quickly, the aliens also began to suffer some casualties.

The Iron Blood Warriors, who had a deep blood feud with the aliens, advanced courageously, firing grappling hooks from their launchers to latch onto the grooves on the city wall, using the ropes to climb up.

The archers on the wall suffered ruthless attacks from the Iron Blood Warriors.

This was a race adept at combat, even more bloodthirsty than the aliens.

A considerable number of Iron Blood Warriors climbed the wall, wielding weapons like claws, steel blades, or hooks, slashing repeatedly at the archers.

"I’ll hold them off, you keep shooting!"

The Human Prophet waved his Magic Staff, looking no longer aged and feeble; elemental attacks continuously shot from the staff.

Flames, frost, icicles, lightning, stone pillars...

Even though the Iron Blood Warriors excelled at killing, they were repeatedly obstructed in a short time, slowing their attack speed.

However, due to their delay, the aliens below the wall broke free from their ice shells and began to slaughter everywhere.

This time, the aliens had scattered, and the Human Prophet, wanting to assist the other sides, couldn’t manage in time, having to focus on the wall’s situation first.

Meanwhile, the battles at the other two gold mines were even fiercer and one-sided.

Without support from the Human heroes, their army was fragmented, only able to fight based on combat instincts.

A large group of Diablos, the major bosses of the Dark Forces, looking like a fusion of lizards and humans, spewed scorching black breath, leaving only charred corpses of the enemy wherever it passed.

While the enemy forces on the Human heroes’ side hadn’t been resolved, the troops around the two gold mines were already exterminated.

Diablo, leading tough life-form soldiers like butchers, pressed toward the defense towers, prioritizing their destruction.

Once the defense towers were demolished, the subsequent tasks would be much easier.

Seeing the buildings over there collapsing one by one, the Human Prophet’s face turned icy; he knew the brief respite they had was dwindling.

If things continued this way, as foreseen, death was inevitable.

"Brothers, we can still fight!"

The Prophet knew he was marching to his death but still didn’t plan to be a deserter.

As long as the workers survived, they could eventually rebuild the Human territory and regain their glory; by then, he would be summoned again.

A flash of cold light, and the Human Prophet fell in a pool of blood on the wall, finally meeting a heroic death.

Below the wall.

The Beastman Prophet said, "The Human Prophet is dead, the other two Human heroes are also killed; this territory now belongs to the Lord!"

Rosen nodded, looking at the scene of corpses and blood before him.

At last, this potential threat was eliminated.

He could finally breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Lord, should we pursue the fleeing Human workers?" the Beastman Prophet asked.

"Of course, pursue them with the entire army!" Rosen ordered.

In the distance.

The Human Butcher, leading the army to escort the workers, had already distanced themselves five kilometers from the territory.

Until now, no more sounds of battle cries came from the territory, either due to the distance or because the Humans had perished?

The Butcher’s heart was restless, facing those three thousand enemy troops; let alone their current thousand escapees, even the original ten thousand were no match.

"Which territory’s army is this? Where did they come from?!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

The Butcher was still filled with confusion, a thick bewilderment.

This would become a question he would never be able to answer for the rest of his life.

Because.

The pursuers had already caught up!

"What?!"

Turning his head, the Butcher saw the army on the horizon gradually enlarging, his face overtaken by fear.

"They came so quickly! Didn’t give us humans a bit of chance to breathe!"

The Butcher’s expression stiffened.

"Soldiers, fight to buy more time for our people!"

Tightening the grip on his large machete, he led his thousand troops forward bravely.

The two armies clashed, and the sound of battle cries shook the sky.

This time, Rosen’s army overwhelmed the enemy in terms of numbers.

Not only in numbers but in strength as well.

The remaining Human forces didn’t even have time to resist before they were completely wiped out.

Only the Human Butcher remained, still struggling to hold on, but his body was already covered with numerous cuts and wounds.

Slash!

A flash of cold light, and the Butcher also collapsed and died.

By this time, the workers had not escaped far, and Rosen’s troops quickly caught up, killing them all.

Just when they were preparing to return, a vanguard army of around five thousand emerged, charging towards Rosen’s troops.

"Is it Human reinforcements?" Rosen said in surprise.

The size of this army was not small anymore.

"Lord, according to my foresight, there is another territory ahead that is even larger than the Human territory. This territory once engaged in a war with the Humans but later both parties ceased fire and developed separately." The Beastman Prophet opened his eyes and said.

This foresight ability made Rosen not dismiss what he said as lies; did it mean Rosen had previously overlooked this territory during his investigations?

"How is it possible, if there really was such a large territory nearby, I should have noticed during previous searches, but I did not actually find it. What race inhabits this territory?"

"It’s the Earth Cavern Race," the Beastman Prophet said, "a race that chose to build their territory underground. From the surface, nothing is visible, but on the hills, there’s a passage for luring prey. To conquer the Earth Cavern Race territory, one can also enter through the passage, but it’s very dangerous!"

The Beastman Prophet flaunted his extensive knowledge.

"Can you foresee the overall situation of the Earth Cavern Race army?" Rosen asked again.

"At least twenty thousand in number, but I can’t sense anything else," the Beastman Prophet replied.

Rosen looked at the battlefield ahead, and his army, even when confronting the Earth Cavern Race, still held some advantage, although not by much, as the Earth Cavern Race’s strong concealment abilities made them hard to attack.

As if aware of the difficulty Rosen’s army posed, the Earth Cavern Race retreated without gaining the upper hand within minutes.

"Seems like I need to personally investigate the situation."

Rosen transformed into an Earth Crawler, burrowing underground in the direction the Earth Cavern Race retreated.

Soon, he excavated a tunnel, connecting to a complex underground network.

He was surprised to find that there was actually a main route leading directly towards Rosen’s three major territories!

"Am I overthinking, why do I feel like the Earth Cavern Race plans to tunnel towards my territories?"

Because in that direction lies only Rosen’s territories, leading him to suspect dangers.

"Let’s check the situation of this territory first," Rosen turned back and continued forward.

After maneuvering through several complex passageways, he arrived at a more expansive underground space.

There he saw a main city suspended upside down in the air, spanning a space of several square kilometers, also hosting numerous worm-like species above, while the ground was littered with corpses and excrement.

Judging by the skeletal structure, there were Beastman Race members and Humans.

It seemed the Earth Cavern Race had previously invaded numerous other territories, capturing plenty of prey.
