Chapter 921: Chapter 441: The Meow Team Makes a Great Contribution_3
At this moment, sweat unconsciously trickled from the foreheads of many Soldiers, and the palms gripping their weapons began to tremble.
Yet even in fear, not a single person chose to retreat; all the Soldiers firmly held their positions on the line of defense.
"Listen up, everyone," Evans calmly began, his voice reaching the ears of all the surrounding Soldiers with precision, "once the battle leaves you with only one year of life remaining, you may use the Transmission Mark to return to camp without being branded a deserter. You can collect your pay and leave the military service to return home anytime."
He had prepared himself to die here, but he had no intention of letting his Soldiers needlessly sacrifice their lives alongside him, so he offered them an out in advance... although he knew that most Soldiers would probably not choose to flee.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, everyone looked at Evans in surprise, exchanging glances with each other.
"Live and die with the desert!"
A moment later, someone shouted this phrase.
"Live and die with the desert!"
"Live and die with the desert!"
"Not a single Undead shall pass unless they step over our corpses!"
...
More and more Soldiers joined the chorus, their shouts merging together; all sense of confusion vanished from their eyes, replaced with a readiness to face death.
Watching this scene, Evans shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, looked up at the vast Undead Legion ahead, took a deep breath, and raised his Broad Sword.
"All forces, charge!"
At his command, all the Ezomal Soldiers immediately shouted ’Attack!’ and jumped down the dune, beginning their charge.
At the same time, the Undead Legion on the opposite side immediately sensed the presence of many living beings ahead, along with the surging killing intent, and naturally targeted them as the first to attack.
The sound of the war horns promptly rose above the desert, and with the signal, the Undead Legion picked up speed instantly. Each one raised their shield and knife, resembling an exaggerated tidal wave of black, sweeping toward the Soldiers.
Soon after, the two armies collided in the center with a force like mountains crashing.
Longswords clashed with scimitars, spears and shields whistled, a dense arrow rain descended like locusts, and the heavy shouts of battle and short roars echoed over the desert.
Evans charged into the ranks of the Undead like a human mincing machine, his Broad Sword cutting through, leaving behind a swath of shattered bones and Skeletons.
His sword was already a Holy Light Element weapon, and, combined with his outstanding strength, each strike easily killed an Undead.
However, this didn’t mean that other ordinary Soldiers could do the same, as most Soldiers’ weapons were only faintly imbued with the power of Holy Light. Even if they hit an Undead, they couldn’t kill it outright, and since the Undead felt no pain, even if their bodies were hacked to pieces, they could still fight on. They could only be stopped if crushed to a certain extent or completely exorcised with Holy Light magic.
This natural disparity in combat abilities was not something that could be bridged by sheer willpower and morale alone.
So, not long after the clash, the Ezomal Soldiers soon found themselves embroiled in a tough battle.
Within the Oasis, Caesar looked at those stubbornly resistant human armies outside and snickered, not bothering to pay them any mind.
To him, a mere hundred thousand was like delivering vegetables to his Undead Legion, not even evoking the desire to intervene.
Moreover, he had more important matters to attend to.
Caesar turned his attention back to the Lighthouse in front of him.
Now that Trialist had mastered the Law of Order, if the Divine Pen also fell into the latter’s hands, they indeed would have the ability to threaten him with it.
"What I can’t have, no one else shall either!" caesar scornfully huffed, his expression turning fierce as he suddenly grabbed the Divine Lamp with both hands and lifted it high, activating his Divine Power within.
As he did so, a flame ignited at the tip of the Divine Lamp, and at the same time, with a rumbling sound, the ground beneath the Lighthouse turned into a marsh-like mire, and the Lighthouse began to slowly sink into the ground.
He was unable to destroy the Lighthouse, but sealing it beneath the ground was still feasible.
He hadn’t done so before because he still coveted the Divine Pen, but now that he had confirmed he couldn’t obtain it, there was no need for mercy: he would seal the lighthouse and the Divine Pen together into the depths of the abyss beneath the earth!
Even if this meant he couldn’t destroy the Divine Pen, at the very least, it would significantly delay its emergence, buying him enough time to enhance his Divine Power until he gained the strength to contend with the Pen of Order.
Just as Caesar raised his arms high and the lighthouse began to sink at a visibly fast pace—
A loud roar suddenly erupted from behind.
The Scorplion had stealthily approached Caesar from behind and leaped high, pouncing towards him.
"You again!"
Caesar, seeing the familiar figure of the Scorplion from the corner of his eye, was instantly furious—the resentment from being toyed with earlier igniting in an instant.
Caesar temporarily ceased the action of holding up the light, and the descent of the lighthouse drastically slowed.
At the same time, the Titan swung his fist mercilessly towards the back: "Just a beast, you really think I am afraid of you!"
"Whimper!"
The punch landed accurately on the Scorplion’s abdomen, sending it wailing and flying far away.
Along with this punch, Caesar felt the long-standing demon in his heart quietly shatter.
His ’cat phobia’ was completely gone at this moment!
Caesar let out a satisfied and long howl, releasing the pent-up frustration of a thousand years.
Before he could vent his feelings fully, another thunderous rumble resounded beneath his feet, followed by a Bone Dragon bursting from the ground and coiling around Caesar like a Spirit Snake, rapidly moving its head behind his brain and biting down on the back of the Titan’s neck. A mouthful of poison fog was thus forcibly injected into the Titan’s ethereal body.
The skin near the back of the Titan’s neck immediately began to corrode inward as if doused in sulfuric acid, emitting large plumes of white smoke.
Caesar cried out in pain and quickly stretched out his hands, grabbing the Bone Dragon’s body with his arms and forcefully tearing it off. He swung it down towards the ground like a whip.
"Crack!"
The Bone Dragon was slammed into the ground, its white bones instantly showing large cracks, and in pain, it began to thrash violently.
Caesar sneered coldly, unconcerned, as he once again raised his right arm and struck downward, intending to completely shatter this ’snake’ right then and there.
However, just as his downward smash had not yet been delivered, a whistling sound pierced the air from behind.
A massive Scythe Blade whirled down, and Caesar instinctively raised his right arm to block it. He was then sent flying by a tremendous force and crashed into the jungle aside with a thunderous fall.
Caesar swiftly jumped up only to realize that another Titan had appeared in front of him: a skeletal illusion wielding a scythe.
At the same time, the Scorplion that had been flung away roared loudly and rejoined the battlefield.
Now facing three massive creatures, Caesar finally showed a serious expression.
...
"Meow! Mu You, what’s going on this time?"
Inside the lighthouse, Cola, who had just scared off Caesar, had not yet had time to calm down when the ground started shaking violently and began descending slowly.
"It seems that guy is in a tight spot and is preparing to destroy the lighthouse..." Mu You’s voice came through.
"Destroy the tower? Are you kidding me? What are we going to do?" Cola panicked upon hearing this.
"We need to speed things up..."
"What speed?" Cola quickly asked.
"Coming up, I’ll need to focus on breaking the barrier and also need time to restore my body. I probably won’t be able to deal with the issues inside the tower... So, you need to help me get to the top floor and, with the help of the Pocket Toad, find the Pen of Order. After you get the Divine Pen, bring it to the top of the tower, and I’ll be able to teleport us out of the lighthouse!"
