Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

In an instant, in the venue of the Assembly of Gods, the residences of many clans, squares, taverns, street corners and other corners, "mirrors" appeared in the void.

“Ohh ...

The lively atmosphere of Orario is also rising further in every corner of the city.

God's mirror, God's eye——

The 'divine mirror' has the ability of clairvoyance, and can see everything at a glance even if the two places are far apart. This is a special case that is only recognized and can use 'divine power' in order to allow the gods to enjoy the activities planned in the underworld.

At this moment, even the gods far away from Orario can use the "divine mirror" to watch with the children this war game that is thousands of miles away, or even farther away.

"The image has been set up. Let me explain it again."

"The two sides of this war game are the [Hestia Familia] and the [Soma Familia]. The format of the game is a battle for territory. The flames of the 'throne' are about to be lit. The victory condition is to seize all thrones and rule for half an hour... Now, let me take a look at the warriors on both sides who are about to appear."

Facing the entire city that was in high spirits, the announcer on the square stage loudly and openly explained the outline of the war game.

As he spoke, the 'magic mirror' showed an isolated island, a 'throne' with three bonfires burning, and two parties starting to disembark and go to the island.

The three places where the bonfires were lit were arranged in a straight line, with the middle one located in the center of the island, and the two ends corresponding to the two sides landing on the island.

But soon, an uproar broke out in every corner of the city. The difference in the number of people on the two sides landing on the island was too great.

On one side, several large ships were docked far away, and densely packed small boats carrying many war necessities and people participating in the war began to land on the island. On the other side, there was only a lonely small boat, carrying five or six people and starting to dock.

"1:25, 1:25, the last two minutes, who else wants to place a bet? Speed up..."

"At this time, the ghosts will suppress the Hestia clan, and the Soma clan will number 100,000."

"Me too, I have 100,000 members of the Soma clan."

"I'll bet on that too..."

"Fifty thousand, enough to earn some money for drinks..."

"What's going on? Is there no one betting on Hestia's Familia?"

"...15 million, to bet on Hestia's family."

At the last moment, a female dog-man placed a guild gold ticket on the gambling table.

"..."

The pub, which was noisy a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.

Looking at the gold notes on the table, the banker who had previously been dissatisfied with the fact that no one was betting on Hestia's family suddenly felt something was wrong.

"The God of Medicine's loyal dog, Naza Orichis, is from the Mih family."

"It is said that their Familia has a good relationship with the Hestia Familia."

"There is inside information..."

"Time is up, close the market!"

Some people's eyes lit up, but before they could do anything, the dealer reacted and immediately chose to close the market.

Chapter 229: The war begins.

Received a warm hospitality from the Njord family, they enjoyed a fresh seafood meal on the boat. Seeing the bonfire lit on the island, Su Mo and his party finally thanked the Njord family for their help and boarded the island with the supplies.

The entire island is an irregular crescent shape. Its area is neither big nor small. The length of the island is more than four kilometers, but its width, at its widest point, is no more than five hundred meters. It is more than enough to serve as a battlefield for several hundred people, but it is obviously too small if one wants to make a detour or pull the enemy.

Even though the island was lush and green, its width meant that it was not easy for a few people to hide here. Unless the number of the enemy was reduced from hundreds to dozens, the battlefield would appear empty.

They knew this, and of course the other party knew it too.

"They're setting fire, meow~!"

Shortly after landing on the island and storing the supplies, Su Mo and others saw thick smoke rising from the other side of the island.

"A battlefield without any cover will be more advantageous to them. Do you want to put out the fire, Captain?"

"Let them burn. There's no need to waste your energy and mana on this kind of thing."

Su Mo shook his head slightly. As he spoke, he put a few quivers on his back and finally held an iron bow in his hand. "I'll go find out the situation. You guys stay here and do the defense."

Everyone nodded. This was something they had agreed on beforehand.

"This body is a confusion of reality and illusion."

Everything that needed to be explained had already been explained. Su Mo did not stop at all. He chanted the spell, bent and bounced his legs, and shot himself into the air in front of him.

When you reach the horizon, you can clearly see the fire burning in the distance.

With a few big strides in the air, Su Mo jumped over the first base where bonfire was burning, and saw the stone base that was integrated with the earth.

Chaofan looked around and saw no one approaching. Su Mo continued to move towards the central stronghold and deliberately began to increase his altitude. But even when he arrived at the central stronghold, he did not see any signs of anyone launching an attack.

Everyone was behind the fire, and it was obvious that they were fighting to follow the fire and engage in a battle in which they would outnumber the enemy and push forward.

When you have a strong advantage, steady and cautious progress is indeed the best tactic.

Of course, if he could really gain an absolute advantage... Without stopping at the central stronghold, Su Mo continued to approach the fire and soon arrived above the third stronghold. Here, even through the smoke and dust from the fire, he could clearly see the formation of the Su Mo clan.

Only a few people were setting fires in a scattered manner and fanning the flames. The main force was quite concentrated. Green plants were being cleared on a large scale, tents were being erected in the rear, and various war equipment were being installed in the front.

Each senior adventurer led a team of junior adventurers, and each team looked after each other, maintaining a safe distance so that they could merge at any time. The formation seemed quite cautious.

However, the formation seemed to be the only thing that was cautious.

After estimating the distance, Su Mo drew his bow and arrow.

The iron-framed bow slowly emitted a platinum glow, and even the bowstring was covered in the platinum glow.

An arrow flew into the air, and a man who was installing a siege crossbow fell down.

"Enemy attack..."

Seeing their companions shot in the chest, some people immediately shouted warnings, while others quickly took out elixirs and went forward to rescue their companions.

But the next moment, the person who came forward to rescue suddenly had a bloody hole on the right chest.

It was not the left chest, nor the heart, but the person who came forward to rescue him still did not hesitate at all and immediately poured the opened healing elixir on himself.

"!"

After doing all this, before he could reach out to take the elixir, he saw a scene that made his pupils shrink.

The fallen companion grasped the shield tightly and struggled to get up, but before he could stand up completely, an arrow pierced his head.

die--

Even a first-level adventurer would have difficulty surviving if his brain was pierced by an arrow. A Lv.1 adventurer who had his head pierced by an arrow would definitely not be able to survive.

“…I’m leaving!”

His thoughts stagnated for a moment, and then began to work frantically again the next moment. Between life and death, the person who came forward to rescue did not hesitate at all. He simply raised his hands high, shouted, and lay on the ground, pretending to be a corpse.

People were hit by arrows one after another, but he was not attacked again, which made him know that he had made the right choice.

The previous arrow was not shot directly at his head, nor at his heart. That was the tone of the 'game'. If one is unwilling to abide by such tacit rules, then don't blame others for killing him.

"Don't block it, use your weapon to push it away..."

Someone is shouting a warning.

Ordinary wooden shields are not strong enough and can be easily pierced. Metal shields are more like paper and have no protection at all against incoming arrows. The best strategy is to block them diagonally with weapons.

But this is not something that everyone can do, especially for Lv.1 adventurers.

Not long after, another person who was shot by an arrow tried to draw his bow to fight back, but was shot in the head by an arrow.

With two extremely obvious cases in front of them, almost all those who were shot and understood the "bottom line" fell to the ground obediently and chose to withdraw.

Although they can get another sum of money if they win, the key to victory or defeat does not lie with them anyway. They are not here to do this kind of work. If they choose to break the "bottom line" and fight hard, they will inevitably be the ones with the most deaths in the end.

After all, they are here to get money, not to lose their lives.

What's the use of having money if you lose your life.

"A bunch of trash."

Phryne, holding two bone axes, kicked away the arrow-hit man who had fallen to the ground obediently. "Give me the throwing axes. And you guys, do you need me to teach you how to fight back?"

In fact, each team had already set up their shields, many archers had already drawn their bowstrings, and the siege crossbows had been raised and pointed in the direction of the arrows, but the billowing smoke and dust obscured their vision. Even if they could lock onto the target through the smoke, distance would still be an obvious problem.

The shooting distances of shooting arrows upwards and downwards are completely different. The target is thousands of meters high in the sky, which is beyond the hunting range of most archers.

Amidst the buzzing sound, several siege crossbows finally shot their arrows.

But the arrows still kept coming, taking away one person after another, which meant that the crossbow arrows failed to hit the target at all.

Several senior adventurers drew their bows and shot arrows continuously, but the killing power was quite limited and could only be considered as causing some interference at best.

The altitude meant that this was an unequal shooting battle.

Finally, a pile of throwing axes were moved to Phryne's side.

Phryne put down the two bone axes, picked up the throwing axes with both hands, locked her eyes slightly, and almost in the blink of an eye, six throwing axes broke through the smoke and dust, and attacked the target at a speed faster than arrows.

The sniping situation stopped, but soon, within just twenty or thirty seconds, another person fell under the arrow.

"I told you, this fire was stupid."

As the voice was spoken, a charming woman came to Phryne's side.

"You knew he could fly, but you still wanted to take it slow and steady. Now you've been let loose like a kite!"

No action was taken against any of the higher-level adventurers, but the lower-level adventurers fell one after another, and the impact on the situation was inevitable.

Especially when the team didn't have much cohesion to begin with.

A group of rabble who are not prepared to fight for their clan should go all out from the beginning and show their momentum in order to win.

The situation is not going well and now it has fallen to the ground. The dozen or so members who admit that they are out are the best portrayal of this.

Among them there are even members who have joined the Soma clan a long time ago, and their performance is not much better than the new "mercenaries". After all, they are just a group of alcoholics who got together because of the "holy wine", and they are hopeless.

"Don't talk nonsense here, Minnie Ann. Since he dares to come here alone, just leave him here."

"If you plan to abandon the main force to keep others, don't take me with you."

Bloody Rose smiled brightly and pointed at two corpses not far away. "Just because you have confidence doesn't mean I have it too. Just look at them and you'll know. They are obviously not soft-hearted people. He will give them a chance only to deal with small fry like them, but not necessarily to us."

"The gods would not have chosen the wrong name. Once the Tanhua appears, there must be a winner. If Tammuz is not careful, he will be beheaded. I don't want to end up like him."

"..."

The two axes in Phryne's hands suddenly flew into the sky with a roar.

If Minnie Ann doesn't go, can she go alone?

According to the intelligence, the other party has most likely recruited more than one Lv.4, and Haruhime is also here. If she is left alone, she will definitely be in danger.

"Retreat and use the boats to cover the shore."

Chanis looked gloomy.

Clearing the land, setting up camp steadily, and setting fire to the forest were all suggestions he made, but it was obvious that these were not good ideas.

The clearing of the ground caused them to lose their cover and be completely exposed to the opponent's vision. The fire quickly ignited by using oil was becoming a barrier for Party B, and the first and second level adventurers showed no signs of moving out.

At this time, if they do not want to interrupt the plan of burning the island, they need more cover. Relying solely on shields cannot prevent their own side from continuing to lose men.

Hearing the order to retreat, the teams quickly began to retreat, with people from several parties falling to the ground one after another. Soon, they gathered all the ships together and stacked them up high for cover.

But not everyone hid themselves. The hiding of many lower-level adventurers caused the higher-level adventurers to gradually gather together.

Why is it said that in the era of the gods' descending clans, the 'quality' is far greater than the 'quantity'? This is vividly demonstrated at this moment.

If he were facing lower-level adventurers, Su Mo believed he could handle it alone as long as he had enough arrows. The only question would be how much time it would take.

Chapter 230: In the sea of fire.

The sublimation of God's grace will only become more difficult as time goes by, but in the early and middle stages, there are two levels that are recognized as the most difficult to break through.

The first level is Lv.4→Lv.5, which is the threshold to becoming a hero and entering the hall of heroism.

Many Lv.4 adventurers will remain at this level until they retire or die, making it difficult to reach Lv.5. The "great deeds" required to upgrade are only one reason. According to the guild records, this is the level where one can most clearly perceive one's own limits and where the physical and mental shackles are the most severe.
