Chapter 1824: Chapter 1824

In the northern regions, the Beastmen were all astir. In order to deal with the Kobolds, everyone mobilized their forces, aiming to completely annihilate them. After all, convenience in action couldn’t compare with the importance of their pride.

Moreover, during such great wars, people occasionally advanced, and some even managed to break through to the seventh tier. This was definitely a good thing. If not for this, how could they maintain this state of war continuously?

However, what they hadn’t anticipated was that while they continuously deployed their forces, the underground space was also constantly manufacturing new forces. In fact, at many times, some civilians were even sent to the battlefield as military forces.

It’s not that Du You didn’t want to manufacture all as fighting forces, but sometimes cannon fodder was quite useful, and creating military power wasn’t cheap either.

Because the time spent expanding their territory hadn’t been long, the income hadn’t yet reached the point where expenditure could be ignored.

But even so, as the war continued, a substantial influx of revenue constantly came in. Hence, the local military forces appeared incessantly. Eventually, even Kobold airborne cavalry emerged.

These were not traditional airborne cavalry; rather, they were flying cavalry, with mounts that were something called Unicorn Swift Birds, huge birds in essence. The combat strength of these Kobold flying cavalry wasn’t very strong, but they were fast.

Combined with the Kobolds’ Dou Qi, which excelled at defense, they were very hard to kill. As the war progressed, these flying cavalry increased in number, becoming almost a disaster.

In the subsequent battles, aerial warfare became almost a calamity, the kind the Beastmen coalition least wished to engage in.

"What’s going on? How come new cities are established yet again, and three at a time? What are you even doing?"

"Reporting to the commander, it’s not within our vicinity but far-off places. It should still be the work of the Kobold upper class. If it weren’t for their interventions, this situation wouldn’t have arisen."

"I know, but we can’t blame them for this, as they merely built Teleportation Arrays. As long as they haven’t initiated attacks, it doesn’t count as war or battle."

The Tiger People commander looked irked, never imagining that the enemy could be so tenacious.

The Kobolds here weren’t resolved yet, and others popped up elsewhere. No, it wasn’t that they weren’t solved; it was more like the Kobolds here seemed to grow in number the more they fought. Despite constant power consumption on both sides, the opponent continued expanding. Not only did they fail to suppress the Kobolds’ momentum, but the other party even established several new fortresses.

If this method of expansion continued, they could barely endure. Troops kept being invested, casualties mounted endlessly, although some strong warriors were nurtured, making some efforts not worth the losses. Furthermore, losing so many, how could the large groups withstand it?

These were their population; losing too many would impact the future development of the group.

"We can only persist unless you want to admit defeat. The folks down south have always wanted to see us make fools of ourselves; you’ve all heard those words, haven’t you? If we retreat, the consequences will..."

Everyone knew, the consequences were not just being laughed at; it would be losing their face entirely. More seriously, their morale would take a hit. And at that time, to shirk responsibility, they as commanders would surely bear the brunt of it. They’d carry the biggest blame and have no future.

Unless one day they could break through to the seventh tier, they couldn’t change a thing.

In fact, the reason they weren’t warriors but conducted command at the rear was largely because their potential was exhausted. Those truly able to continue breaking through had all gone to battle at the forefront.

Some of those people even held the name of a commander, and the army recognized them more.

They were merely the ones forming strategic plans at the back.

"What else can we do, persist." Even the Tiger People were a bit frustrated.

As a result, not only were they persisting here for pride’s sake, but none of the empires or the seventh-tier powerhouses behind them wanted to give up. After all, there was no danger for them, just pride at stake.

Large numbers of troops proceeded to the battlefield, facing even fiercer resistance from the newly established Kobold cities. But the Kobolds’ defensive skills were indeed strong, enduring each one after another.

During this process, new cities arose one by one, scattered across different areas. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

The establishment of each new city triggered countless Beastmen to attack from the surrounding areas. In the north, the Kobolds were like Demons, becoming common enemies wherever they went.

Conversely, in other places, the Kobolds’ development was much smoother, progressing rapidly and without much resistance.

In the north, it was an entire people’s resistance, a level so intense that even Du You was surprised. The Beastmen’s pride enabled them to go this far, leaving one helpless. But at the same time, the probability of the northern upper class appearing was the highest.

Seventh-tier fighters were constantly born on battlefields and then left. If this continued, the north might become the area with the most seventh-tier fighters.

Du You seized this opportunity, continually revealing new seventh-tier guardians in the north. Leveraging a vast population base, people assumed the Kobolds’ rise was unstoppable.

Ignoring common group numbers of seventh-tier generation, the Kobold and related joining races already had over three hundred seventh-tier fighters in the north. Such numbers were quite impressive among many high-level races.

Some races even considered whether to learn from the Kobolds, to engage a war with other groups. But pondering such losses and lacking the same defenses as the Kobolds, everyone could only sigh and give up.

Unknowingly, several years passed again under these circumstances.

In the central and western and eastern parts, Kobolds spread entirely, with many places having Kobold countries or cities, and many places employed Kobolds. The influence of the Kobold United Empire gradually spread throughout the world. That transmission network had become essential to many Beastmen.

Through the transmission network, they could easily travel from one end of a continent to the other, or from one continent to another. It was exceedingly convenient. If any resources were needed, checking the resource list sufficed.

Because of this, hostility towards the Kobolds diminished significantly.

Seeing these developments, Du You slowly smiled, it seemed the next step of the plan could be launched.
