[801-1000] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 892 First Clash

The Army of Gluttony has arrived.

The atmosphere changed as thick bloodlust spread out in the air.

It was a little bit suffocating.

Souta narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Even though they are weak, they possessed great momentum."

The enemy had fought their way to this country. The cities, towns, and villages that were on their way were massacred. Some of those people resisted but they couldn't defeat the Army of Gluttony.

Everyone knew that some of the towns or villages only had a few experts. So it wasn't surprising that they couldn't defeat the enemies. At the very least, the elderly and children managed to escape and seek refuge in other countries.

"Souta, why didn't they fight the Army of Gluttony the moment they exited the border of Eru Empire?" Alice asked in a low voice.

"It's not like they didn't fight. There are battles everywhere. Small squads were dispatched first and fought several times against the enemies. That's one of the reasons why some of the people managed to escape on time or else none of them would be able to escape." Souta explained.

"A large-scale battle will occur now." Eilish joined the conversation. She pointed at the walls behind them and said, "From this country up to the borders of the Eru Empire will become the main battleground. The small-scale battle was just to clean up the entire land, and help the people escape. If a large-scale battle occurred while ordinary people were nearby I'm sure you already know what will happen."

"The ordinary people will die... They will not be able to move under the pressure of a Shackled Realm expert." Alice said with a gloomy look.

"Yeah. The ordinary people have escaped while those unfortunate ones have died so the whole area was cleaned up. The Holy Lands and Large Countries will start to fight. They will send their army and use the three nations as a vanguard. They will not give up the three nations easily and the land before us will become a battlefield. No more ordinary folks so they could counterattack without worrying about the death of ordinary people." Eilish explained.

"What about the death of ordinary people who failed to escape?" Alice asked.

"I'm afraid that the higher-ups are already prepared for it. Casualties will always happen. At the very least, they managed to evacuate tens of thousands of ordinary people. Even if there are ordinary people that are still alive there... Once the battle starts, they will perish just from the shockwaves alone." Eilish said with a frown. She was quite knowledgeable about this since she experienced several wars in her journey.

Eilish glanced at Souta and said, "Souta could even kill ordinary people if he released his energy. The higher-ups already tried their best to avoid high-rank battles while helping ordinary people. There's no place for them in this kind of battlefield."

"I see..." Alice nodded.

"They are here," Souta said.

They stopped talking and they focused their attention on the army ahead. They would thoroughly annihilate the enemies without letting any of them escape.

"Attention!!"

Schine, who was at the front of the army, raised his hand.

A man from the Army of Gluttony was approaching them with steady feet. He was holding a huge piece of paper in his hand. He was here to give them the message of their army.

He stopped thirty meters away from Schine and said in a loud voice, "People from Selnes Country! Open your borders and surrender yourself to our Lord Gluttony! If you don't want to surrender then you will face the Army of Gluttony and die a painful death! Mercy will be given to the people who surrendered to our Lord!!"
