Chapter 141: There Are No Civilians in This War
Westhead suddenly changed his mind and wanted to bring his family and farmers all in. Naturally, it was the confidence given by [Shadow Life].

Originally, it was thought that the battle to recapture the enemy was destined to be a long tug-of-war, and that one could only slowly wait for the purification to be completed and the trained guards to catch up. Naturally, this strategy would not satisfy Westhead.

Even in the most favorable circumstances, it would take at least a year to reach the depths of the Bright Forest. By that time, the Chaos Corrosion Level in Westhead would have risen to at least 60 or 70, and the Bright Holy Spirit would have been driven insane by the great scholar.

Even if Qinghui Territory was successfully recaptured, it would take a lot of time and energy just to restore it to its original state. Westhead didn't even know whether he could build Qinghui Territory into a solid fortress before the end of the world.

So be greedy when there is an opportunity.

What? You ask about such a low tolerance rate. What if it fails?
Never consider it.

Because he is a greedy man. As long as the temptation is big enough, Westhead will not mind putting everything he has on the gambling table.

If you want to step onto the long stairway to godhood from which there is no return, you cannot leave yourself a foolproof way of retreat. If you don't even have the courage to face death, how can you be qualified to ascend?

So, under the call of Lord Qinghui, large numbers of bright people crossed the Ying River with the belief of returning to their homeland, and came to the newly purified land to build fortresses and strongholds.

Perhaps the prestige they had built up before had paid off, and the Qinghui people were willing to believe in and follow the clan leader, crossing the river despite the danger.

But it is more likely that he was tired of the days of being a stray dog, and even if he died, he would rather die on the way to recover his homeland.

Qinghui Territory has a thousand-year history, which has resulted in the people of the bright land having very strong self-esteem.

They could not bear the thought of being stranded in a foreign land forever. Two years of refugee life had already caused the Bright People to suffer humiliation. With hope visible in the naked eye, everyone signed up eagerly and rushed to participate in the recovery operation.

Suddenly, ports on both sides of Ying River were crowded with people, and outposts, artillery batteries and arrow towers sprang up on the purified land.

As long as they are out of the Chaos Realm, even mortal creatures can harm Chaos Monsters.

But some people are still worried about this, and the one here refers to Myvana:
"Gathering so many ordinary people to carry out reconstruction can indeed restore order the fastest, but if it is attacked by chaos monsters, the casualties will be quite heavy."

When it comes to understanding chaos, the knight lady who was born in the civilized frontier has the most profound understanding. In her opinion, fighting against chaos is not something that mortals should do!
Westhead: "I never forced anyone to go to war. It was their own choice."

In this war, there are no civilians!

But in front of Miwana, Westhead couldn't say it so bluntly, so he changed his emotional intelligence to say:
"How can you assume that they are ordinary people? With determination and courage, everyone who steps onto the battlefield is a noble Qinghui warrior, regardless of their strength!"

"Besides, I will not order mortals to confront the Chaos Monsters head-on. They only need to stabilize the rear and clean up the scattered Chaos Monsters. This is not a suicide move. I will not let my people in the rear face the Chaos Tide directly, unless they jump over my dead body!"

"I will defeat anyone who invades Qinghui's territory!"

These words were not even said to Miwana in private, but were a promise Westhead made to everyone at the meeting.

Lord Qinghui always keeps his word and never just talks. Since then, he has almost single-handedly undertaken the task of recovering, purifying and defending Qinghui Territory, working around the clock without a moment's rest.

Not only will he lead the vanguard team to open up the path to the Bright Forest, but he will also rush to the scene as soon as possible wherever a tide of chaotic beasts appears.

Even though more extraordinary people who embarked on the path of knighthood joined the guard later, Westhead still maintained this style of leading by example, leaving most of the pressure to himself, and only leaving a very small number of monsters for his subordinates to practice with.

It’s not because Westhead’s sense of responsibility is so heavy, he simply enjoys it.

His battle with Chaos was in no way inferior to the top-grade feat of "Recognized by the Gods", not to mention that he also had the [Dragon Soul Furnace] that could destroy the enemy's body and soul to plunder power. Now that he had a divine weapon to fight Chaos, wouldn't he have to gain a lot of experience?

The strength of the growth-type T0 talent is not something that can be laughed at. Westhead can feel himself getting significantly stronger every day, and this extremely clear change is truly intoxicating.

"Swish--" In the deep and dark forest, Westhead swung the bright red blade to cut off the hind legs of a thirty-meter-tall, lion-like Chaos Monster. The latter let out a low roar of pain and swung out its long tentacle-like steel tail to sweep over.

Westhead retreated violently, avoiding the attack, then dodged around the lion-tiger monster covered in flames, giving it another blow from time to time.

Although there are few fancy spells in [Aspects of Chaos] and most of the monsters don't even have intelligence, they are all panel monsters with frighteningly high stats.

The normal way for ordinary extraordinary people to fight against chaos is -

Those who need to be pulled, have no mechanism, need to develop, are weak, have high difficulty, cannot beat the numerical monsters, and are killed instantly by those with higher skills
But alas, none of this applies to Westhead.

Because no matter in terms of numbers or mechanisms, Westhead is superior to the Chaos Monsters!

Under the flames released by Yingsheng, most of the low-level monsters in [Chaos Aspects] were not qualified to fight against Westhead at all, and would be swallowed up by the flames of the mixed dragon thunder on their way to him.

It has to be at least a first-level Chaos Monster of [Mad Beast Vanguard] to be able to withstand the burning damage and fight against Westhead.

However, standing on the land of Qinghui Territory, close to the Bright Forest, the bloodline talent of [Yu Jiaojie] has been exerted vigorously. This talent, which was evaluated by Westhead as a shock wave, has the main flaw of the earthbound spirit attribute, but in terms of numerical bonus, it is a top T1.

Westhead didn't even need to fight a desperate battle with the Chaos Monsters. The flames derived from Shadow Born could not be exempted or extinguished. No matter how powerful and ferocious the monsters were, they had to endure the bone-eating and soul-burning flames, and they usually couldn't hold on for long.

Lord Qinghui kept moving around, depleting the Chaos Monster's health like he was strolling in the garden.

Pull you!
And when the lion-tiger in front of him showed signs of weakness, Westhead used his most difficult combo - normal attack, normal attack, normal attack, and the bright red blade of Shadow cut through the monster's body like a hot knife cutting through butter, splitting it into several pieces on the spot.

"Pfft-"

The filthy black blood of the Chaos Monster splattered on his body, stimulating the Holy Spirit bloodline to produce a strong rejection reaction. Westhead immediately felt nauseous and frowned tightly.

"How disgusting."

But it’s also extremely delicious.

Westhead licked the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes. After the death of [Mad Beast Vanguard], its body was immediately devoured by the dragon thunder. The pure energy transformed made the fingers of Qinghui Gong, who was covered in blood, tremble slightly.

It’s more fun than Shajing, that’s all I can say.

After a while, Westhead opened his eyes. Before him was a forest ravaged by the Extinguished Fire. Not long ago, he had fought against a wave of beasts here.

He slaughtered them all by himself.

This is our T0 player, what a great combination of numbers and mechanisms!
He jumped over two waves of soldiers and killed a single enemy at the same level. That was such an amazing move!
"If this continues, I should be able to try to advance to the [Hero] rank before long."

Westhead lowered his eyelids and calculated his current promotion speed. It had only been a few months since he was promoted to [Paragon] and he was about to be promoted to [Hero]. This could only be described as terrifying.

"But the deeper we go, the more ferocious the Chaos' counterattack will be. I don't know how many times this beast tide will come."

Looking into the distance, the boundary of the Bright Forest can already be seen clearly, but surrounding that bright ancestral land are circles of thick shadows, which are where the main force of chaos is located.

Even though ordinary Chaos Monsters only provide Westhead with experience, if the intensity of the battle is to be escalated, Westhead will be sweating profusely.

Just as Westhead turned around and prepared to leave, he heard a long beep, followed by a weak, crisp and soft voice:
"Is it a child?"
