King of succubus

Chapter 180 The Battlefield (2), The Traps.

While Dalvine was enjoying his little (health walk), at the same time, Alvine had just finished operating the [gaia pearls] that he had judiciously placed all along the wall. Even if he knew that divine beasts will not have trouble avoiding traps or will be ineffective against them, it was not the same for emperor beasts!

As its elementary pearls could be as powerful as elementary laws, the beast emperors were either die instantly or seriously wounded. But what surprised him was the effectiveness of his traps on the beast emperors. Not only were they trap based solely on basic skills such as peaks of the land that come out of the walls during their escalations, spears of the land that are intended for flying beasts trying to fly to cross the wall.

"With these first traps alone, our enemies have lost more than thirty of the beast emperors. It's rather a good start, isn't it?" Rosesse commented with a charming smile that embellished her sculpted face, while her eyes shone with a glow that proved that she used her vampire vision to see beyond the wall.

Alvine frowned. "No, I was too hasty." He said with a hint of regret.

"Hasty? What do you mean by that, my lord?" She asked confusedly.

Anyone could see the effectiveness of Alvine's traps. The beast emperors were visibly frightened by the peaks and sharp weapons that came out of nowhere without notice to attack them.

But why was he not satisfied with this result? Noddra and Liliana had the same expression as Rosasse, confused and curious at the same time.

But soon, they got their answers; not by Alvine, but by Vandel.

"I believe that there are so many victims among the horde because of a significant factor, the surprise effect. Until now, beasts believed that the wall was just used as a bulwark against their invasions; therefore, they have not been careful when climbing it. But look carefully now, those who know how to fly; fly now further from the wall, and the few who are unable to fly now have magical shields that protect them from attacks that they will not be able to avoid." He explained in a wise tone.

Moreover, he did not need to give them more explanations, since they themselves had seen that magic beasts were beginning to get used to Alvine’s traps.

Alvine, who could currently make full use of her affinities thanks to his deal with Dalvine, did not waste time before changing his strategy. Kill the weakest to reduce their numbers as much as possible.

"Grandpa, can you guarantee my safety for a while?"

"Hoo? This will not cause me the slightest problem." He said with curious eyes. As Alvine had ordered, Vandel stop in front of him. Without even asking or waiting for his opinion, Liliana stands behind him, as for Noddra and Rosasse, they placed themselves to the left and right of Alvine; leaving him in the middle of their defensive formations.

Seeing such skill on their part, Alvine could guess that this was not the first time they performed this defensive training. There was a time, Liliana was certainly the person who stood in the middle, while her current place was occupied by the third counselor who is no longer in the world of the living.

Alvine put his useless thoughts to the side, he focused on the present moment. 'In all, I have placed twenty most powerful pearls throughout the forest, but there are also additional pearls with perpetual effects until their energies run out, like those currently having effects on the wall. But to make more victims in their ranks, I must lead them to the twenty most destructive pearls!' He closed his eyes by working only with his magical perception, which could cover more terrain and monitor several places at the same time. In this kind of situation, his perception was more practical than his eyes!

At the same time, the black tiger growled indignation when he saw his subordinates get massacred like insignificant cattle. Normally, he wouldn't care about losing a few subordinates, but there, it was different. Not only did he want to complete the mission entrusted to their king within the dictated time, but he wanted to succeed in the task that was confided to him without losing more men to be congratulated by the king and be graduated to a higher level!

Having these two concerns, knowing that the death of the beast emperors will not leave the king indifferent, his roar was heard throughout the wall while he communicated his orders to the other generals. "My dear friends, protected our subordinates from traps, we must make sure to lead them above the wall safely!"

"What?! U want us to waste our time saving these weak?!"

"We don't have time to worry about them, we have to exterminate the insects lurking behind the wall."

"Not to mention, we must use more energy to save them. And that, I categorically refuse to waste a single drop of mana to save weak people who are not even able to resist simple traps!"

One by one the divine beasts categorically refused the proposal of the fifth! Even if he was the most senior general, and also the divine beast who held the highest status among them; his request was too abnormal for them who had never taken the time to care about the lives of their subordinates.

"Poor fools! Have you forgotten our king's orders? We must complete the extermination mission in less than two days, but we must also do it with an overwhelming victory." He grumbled furiously while his scarlet thunders exploded everywhere to intimidate the other generals.

Then he continued: Do you think the king will be happy to see only four subordinates coming? Not to mention that behind the wall, hundreds of kilometers away, there are two entire kingdoms that each have at least 40 million inhabitants! How do you intend to exterminate all these insects in the allotted time with our five only?!" He instinctively counted the sixth general who was pitifully struggling against Dalvine.

Hearing his words, the others all grumbled with irritation, they all knew that the sixth was right; but they could not help but curse others for being so weak! The scarlet chimera and the centaur that had just reached the top of the wall had no choice but to turn around to help the emperor beasts who struggled pitifully like fish caught in a fishing net.

The reason for the sudden reversal of the situation that had, once again pleasantly surprised Alvine, was because of the change in his assault scheme! From the beginning, the traps were activated at a regular rate but now it has become hellish and only aimed at those whom Alvine is sure that her traps would kill at once! As for those who were able to climb the wall, they had other surprises.

An army of Golems was waiting for them in front of the wall and the evil Spriggans were waiting for them just at the entrance to the forest! Normally, creating an army of thousands of Golems and evil spirits of the woods would require more time and energy, but the entire forest is like an area of elementary law that Alvine had put in place. Therefore, he had no problem turning all the trees in the forest into evil spirits.

The Golems who were three to five meters long had destructive forces but were endowed with very limited agility! As for the Spriggans, they had humanoid bodies with wooden arms that could spread like brambles to immobilize their enemies and let the earth’s Golems take care of the rest! These two armies had all their strengths and weaknesses that compensate for them; the Golems are slow but force, while the Spriggans are agile to capture their enemies with their crawling branches, but they are endowed with a fragile constitution to resist the sharp fangs of magic beasts.

Therefore, beasts that were able to climb the walls had to face another more serious problem than they had before reaching this level. The artificial forest that stretched fifty kilometers away looked like one of the most complex labyrinths they had ever had to face!

The beasts had only two choices, to fight the army of the Golems who have now teamed up with the army of the Spriggans with all their strength, or wait at the top while waiting for the return of the divine beasts. Obviously, the second choice was worse than death for them.

But some were able to cross their lines of defense by accidentally destroying the cores of the Golems or by tearing off the hearts of the Spriggans! But among the horde of beasts, some beasts were the most (lucky) by taking a path that was devoid of all traps! No poisonous thorns, no Golems or Spriggans.

And when the others notice this chance? They did not hesitate for a second to want to preserve their energies and all headed for the twenty safest paths.

They were all beast emperors and also endowed with an intelligence that is not inferior to that of a fifteen-year-old human! Therefore, they knew that fighting these Golems and the traps in this forest was only a waste of magical time and energy when they had not even started the real battle yet.

Seeing the magic beasts sprint up to a kilometer without them triggering traps, Noddra and Rosasse became speechless thinking that Alvine had forgotten to paths so blatant but devoid of traps! Both initially thought that these paths were lures to deceive the vigilance of enemies, but now even magical beasts that were suspicious at first are now adorned with auras of trust.

Alvine was not a being transcending all the laws of the universe, he could not cover all the forest, so it was normal for him to forget a few places. These were the thoughts that took place in the head of the first and two advisers. But unlike them, Vandel and Liliana had inexplicable expressions. The reason was that they each knew the locations of the traps they had placed before, but just seeing the twenty paths, they could guess that the other fifteen paths were probably the locations of their colleagues' pearls!

"Well, it's time to move on to serious things." Alvine who was sitting on the grass with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, suddenly said these words while the corners of his lips bent into a thin smile barely visible!

Until now, he had patiently waited for the 90% of the beast emperors to be all on the wall! There were usually two factors that made him excited like a kid! The first was, of course, the impatience to see the effectiveness and quality of the destruction of its pearls. But the second reason was that his twenty pearls had fields of action of more than ten kilometers after their activations. This was also the reason that pushed her to order Vandel and Liliana to put ten kilometers apart; but At that time, the terrain was too small to give ten kilometers of space to each pearl, in the end, the three had no choice but to put five kilometers between the major pearls.

This destruction would undoubtedly be stronger and more powerful than any attack launched with a deadly law.

As soon as Alvine finished this sentence, the thunder rumbling madly in the sky instinctively stopped the beasts in their races while they all rose their heads, without exception, to the purple-red sky! A giant whip the size of a tree trunk but entirely made of scarlet lightning fell ruthlessly in the left wing of the forest by reducing thirty emperor beasts to coal in a thousandth of a second! While the whole horde had hairs erected at the horrifying view of this scene, the lightning whip returned to the charge, once again. But at the place of the first time, ten appeared at the same time and in different locations taking with them, about a hundred magical beasts!
