Mighty Lord

Chapter 2857: Chapter 909

The result was not surprising. Almost immediately after the Burrow Spiders sent out their troops, both the Human Race and the Fallen Elves, upon receiving the news, deployed their forces without much hesitation.

However, although both the Human Race and the Fallen Elves chose to respond at the first instance of Burrow Spiders’ attack, the fact that they had been suppressed by the Burrow Spiders for countless years caused morale to drop even before the two sides engaged in battle, despite their strength not being inferior to the Burrow Spiders at that moment.

Both the high levels of the Human Race and the Fallen Elves carefully calculated the situation and believed that, even in the worst-case scenario, they could fight to a both sides suffer outcome with the Burrow Spiders. Given their comparable strength, they felt confident to face off against the incoming aggression.

The problem now, however, was that perhaps the high levels of both races were not entirely wrong in their thinking. If they truly engaged the Burrow Spiders in combat at that moment, defeat wasn’t certain. But the issue was, despite their strength being sufficient to fight the Burrow Spiders, only the high levels of both races were aware of this fact. The lower ranks of the Human Race and Fallen Elves still believed that battling the Burrow Spiders would inevitably lead to defeat.

Can’t the internal strength changes within the Human Race and Fallen Elves be sensed?

Clearly, that’s impossible. As cultivators in the warlock occupation, both ordinary people and Fallen Elves were aware of the changes within their races. At least, they were clear about the newly emerged strength of the warlocks.

After witnessing the skills of the warlocks, even the lower ranks of the Human Race and Fallen Elves knew that their strength had greatly improved. Yet, although the civilians were aware of this advancement, when it came to confronting the Burrow Spiders, the lower rank members of both races continued to blindly believe that they had almost no winning odds.

It was all the effect of the Burrow Spiders’ legendary reputation.

Before actually experiencing failure, most living beings still saw the Burrow Spiders as unbeatable, even if some individuals were not afraid of them. For most ordinary living beings, the Burrow Spiders were still a force they could not defeat. In such circumstances, starting a war with the Burrow Spiders naturally affected the morale of the armies of both the Human Race and the Fallen Elves before the fight even began.

Regarding all of this, the high levels of both races felt helpless as they watched, yet they were powerless to change the situation.

The reason the soldiers showed such performance at that time was because the invincible reputation of the Burrow Spiders had spread for so long. In such circumstances, unless the invincible ’Golden Body’ of the Burrow Spiders was shattered, as long as the Burrow Spiders continued to appear invincible to the world, no matter what actions the high levels took, their people’s performance wouldn’t change much when facing the Burrow Spiders’ large army.

Although it was said like this, the two races’ high levels couldn’t help but feel disappointed in their people’s performance when facing the Burrow Spiders. The apparent parity in strength between the two sides made the lack of confidence puzzling. Such an unfavorable start was disheartening, even for those committed to the fight.

Regardless, as events unfolded, neither race could withdraw at that moment, even if their soldiers’ performance was poor. Thus, regardless of whether they were fearful or brave, the large armies of the three races soon embarked on a great battle shortly after their gathering.

"Kill!"

No matter what the lower-ranked soldiers of the three races were thinking, as soon as the order came from above, the war quickly commenced.

Naturally, the Burrow Spiders struck first. Up to this point, they had consistently regarded the Human Race and the Fallen Elves as their ’food’. If not for their needs, the Burrow Spiders believed they could destroy the two races anytime. Thus, when provoked, despite their confusion over the opponents’ courage and reasoning, they never truly regarded them as a threat when the battle began. frёeωebɳovel.com

And since they never considered the strength of the two races significant, believing they could win no matter the situation, the Burrow Spiders didn’t think too deeply about the matter. Upon seeing the large armies of the two races, they immediately gave the command to attack.

Therefore, based on the situation at that time, the three large armies engaged in battle right upon encountering each other. However, in the case of the Burrow Spiders initiating the attack, the Battle Situation unfolded somewhat differently than they had originally anticipated.
