Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 449 - 182: Bloody Victory and Humanity’s Vengeance!_4

This made it even more afraid to pause even for a moment. It had already paid the price of thousands and tens of thousands of Tree Demons for its main force to distance themselves from the humans. If it stopped now to engage in battle with the humans, it would be a sheer waste of the time that the Tree Demons had fought to gain for it!

It had to make an all-out dash for the forest while there was still some distance between it and the human pursuers. Only by entering the forest would its minions have a chance at survival, and only by bursting into the forest could it catch up to the human Knight Order ahead and block them at the forest’s edge before they posed a threat to its Dragon’s Nest. Under no circumstances could they be allowed to reach the core region.

However, its roars and urgings further exacerbated the collapse of the Forest Monsters. After two days and three nights of forced marching, even the strongest monsters were exhausted, with a large number frothing at the mouth and collapsing along the march route.

Not only did they fail to distance themselves from the human pursuers, but the human pursuers were getting even closer!

The more they approached these limits of endurance, the more the monsters realized that the tenacity of the humans was truly at a monstrous level.

In the eyes of most creatures, those terrifying human bipeds were just another kind of dreadful monster, even more powerful and resilient than most monsters. Anyone who thinks humans are naturally kind is gravely mistaken.

How could a species that occupies the most fertile core lands of the continent be benign? If the entire world’s creatures were monsters, humans would certainly be among the most ferocious of them all.

Although humans always claim that there are four kinds of demons on the Old Continent, many species undoubtedly believe there are five!

In this long-distance forced march, the horrifying resilience of humans mercilessly crushed most of the forest’s monsters.

The weak can only be slaughtered by the strong. Those monsters who were exhausted to the point of collapse, and those injured ones frothing at the mouth by the roadside, all without exception perished beneath the humans’ vengeful blades!

The humans, their eyes reddened by blood debt, had hearts hardened like steel. They mercilessly swung their blades at any monster they saw, lining the road with the corpses of monsters, the dead lying next to each other.

What thrilled the knights even more was that the Sun Goddess highly praised such actions.

An essential teaching of Violet is to have no mercy for the enemies of humans.

These monsters committed numerous atrocities in the Hesse Territory, and the Sun Goddess encouraged her followers to launch an expedition and cleanse the evil through the Peach Court Sweep!

So along the way, the knights not only pursued and slaughtered but also amassed a great deal of Divine Grace!

At the outset, only over 60 Elite Knights accompanied Hilude, but after the pursuit, their numbers had surpassed 80, and they continued to grow, with the speed of growth accelerating!

In this chase spanning hundreds of miles, the longer soldiers persevered, the more they gained.

This resulted in a starkly different mentality between the pursuing humans and the retreating Green Dragon’s Fang!

Even for their sake, human soldiers gritted their teeth to persist.

And a large-scale Monster Legion was being shaved down by Hilude like peeling a potato. When they withdrew from Heisen City, their numbers might have been in the tens of thousands, but by the time they reached the border outpost, their size had dwindled dramatically to under 5,000!

Most monsters either fell behind or took advantage of the night to slip into the roadside forests.

After all, human development of these foothills had not been long, and off the roadsides to either the north or south lay patches of small forests.

For the Green Dragon and the human pursuers, the target was solely the Blood Pine Forest to the east, but for the monsters, they always had three choices!

Whether fleeing north or south, this vast and flat land provided them with more chances for survival.

At this moment, an atmosphere of sheer desperation and precariousness had completely engulfed the upper and lower echelons of the Green Dragon Legion.
