Cave Refuge

Especially at Magic Capital Base, a staggering ninety percent of the people were taken away by the forced conscription order.

If the Bat Monsters truly had the ability to annihilate all the gathered humans in one fell swoop, I can't speak for other places, but if it were just near Magic Capital Base, then whatever Survivors Base they plundered would no longer face any sort of serious resistance.

However, not only do these Bat Monsters lack the strength, but they also do not have much time left. After all, the Plane Transmission Channel will only become operable on the tenth day, and if those Bat Monsters wishing to return miss today, they're unlikely to ever get another chance.

Though they are anxious to go home now, they do not know that such an opportunity could arise, and they are also unaware that even if this chance were laid before them, they might not be able to seize it with certainty.

When the Bat Monsters, laden with loot, decide to find an island near the Plane Transmission Channel to rest temporarily, waiting for the Plane Transmission Channel to open tomorrow so they can be the first to board and return to their own Plane.

The haul from this plunder was so profitably bounteous for all Bat Monsters that, albeit the most valuable items had been taken, even those left on display in shops brought delight that could not be concealed in their grins.

Initially, when these Bat Monsters went on their Otherworldly raids, the lowest requirement for carrying trophies was that they should not hinder normal combat.

In the past, these Bat Monsters strictly adhered to this rule, even when they first arrived at Blue Star and were raiding, they still clung to it.

However, since entering Blue Star, apart from the first fierce encounter with humans guarding the Plane Teleportation Gate, they have never faced anything resembling resistance during their looting.

Consequently, the Bat Monsters' arrogance has gradually inflated, and as the time to return draws closer, their arrogance grows increasingly blatant and overbearing.

It is this very disdain for Blue Star Humans that caused the Bat Monsters to forget about the rule initially intended to ensure combat readiness, as they, laden with bags and bundles, prompted some Bat Monsters who had acquired little to also gradually forget the rule, leading everyone to become somewhat dissolute.

When the Bat Monsters, carrying a wealth of goods, arrive at the Plane Teleportation Gate, they suddenly discover a large gathering of Blue Star Humans beneath the Plane Transmission Channel.

Upon sighting the amassed humans, the smarter Bat Monsters who had already speculated show only an "as expected" expression on their faces.

Among the Bat Monsters experienced in the previous interdiction combat, they knew there were some highly capable fighters among humans, just that those individuals were discreet. Although they didn't reap much, they preferred the safety and quiet without stirring trouble,

It's just a shame that with each successive raid bringing success, and most importantly, he had achieved the prestigious act of Flag Capture at this moment.

You should know that First Ascension, Breaking Formation, Beheading Generals, and Flag Capture are the honors soldiers most covet.

It's almost impossible to acquire these four honors, but who would have thought that the grand Magic Capital Base, upon discovering an invasion, not only did not resist but instead directly admitted defeat and hid.

And so, when it was time to send the Death Prisoner Cannon Fodder Camp to explore the situation, to everyone's surprise, the fodder achieved the honor of First Ascension under the watchful eyes of many.

But actually, the honor of First Ascension, for the most part, appears among the Death Prisoner Cannon Fodder Camp, because only those death-row prisoners bearing heavy crimes would give their all for a chance to live.

To obtain the honor of First Ascension, one must swiftly climb the enemy's wall during a siege, then stand their ground waiting for others to scale the wall, engaging in continuous combat against multiple enemies in the meantime.

And the most critical thing is, it's not enough to be the first to reach the wall; you must persist without dying until the very end and ensure that your comrades can take control of the wall under your cover. Only if your faction ultimately wins the battle can you genuinely be awarded the honor of First Ascension.

Because the difficulty of acquiring the honor of First Ascension is exceedingly high, anyone who has attained it receives a reward to such an extent that it incites envy.

And this time, the Bat Monster responsible for reconnaissance was, from the very beginning, cautiously and nervously approaching the city walls.

At first, that Bat Monster was truly scared to death, after all, if the surroundings were filled with cries of battle, although it would feel frightened, it wouldn't feel terror.

However, when it gradually ascended and saw those dummies, the Bat Monster immediately rushed to the city walls, and then, waving the weapon in its hand, signaled for the others to quickly come over.

No one would have scratched their heads in guessing that when the Blue Star humans discovered the enemy's invasion, they would not resist at all and instead immediately found a place to hide.

That's why, although the process was a bit bizarre, being First Ascension is First Ascension. The intensity of the battle is not the standard for judging this honor.

Therefore, that Bat Monster was extremely lucky to have received the honor of First Ascension, and the rewards were also very generous. Setting aside the other rewards, just with the honor of First Ascension alone, it managed to get out of the Death Prisoner Cannon Fodder Camp.

It was precisely because of the example set by that Bat Monster that escaped the cannon fodder camp that when they returned, they encountered a large group of gathered Blue Star humans, these creatures were not nervous, but rather kept asking around if anyone had seen where the flag was among those people.

After all, the Bat Monster that achieved First Ascension soared high, so when they saw that all those gathered were Blue Star humans who fled without a fight, the Bat Monsters would never again regard humans with respect.

And for this reason, if that lucky one could earn the honor of First Ascension, why couldn't they earn the honors of Beheading Generals or Flag Capture?

After all, at this moment in their eyes, Blue Star humans were nothing but cowards. Despite not knowing how many people were gathered in front, the Bat Monsters had come to believe that all Blue Star humans were cowards at heart.

Moreover, it was getting close to the day of their return, so occasionally Bat Monsters would come over and join the ranks.

As the ranks grew larger, when they looked at the Blue Star humans again, their confidence increased.

In the pursuit of the honors of Beheading Generals or Flag Capture, some of the younger Bat Monsters, impulsive, broke away from the ranks and charged towards the area where the Blue Star humans were.

Seeing the Bat Monsters charging towards them, the humans didn't pamper them; 'Bang!' With a gunshot, the Bat Monster that charged towards the human side was instantly killed.

When that group of Bat Monsters saw one of their own die, anger immediately surged. Under normal circumstances, death on the battlefield is a common occurrence.

But in the eyes of some Bat Monsters, humans still appeared as timorous and afraid of death.

The Bat Monster killed by humans, in their perception, was like a weakling taking a swing at a stronger being.

In the eyes of those Bat Monsters, the timid and cowardly Blue Star people, upon discovering their attack on Magic City, didn't even attempt to defend but immediately abandoned Magic Capital Base and ran here.

And now they had come over ready to cross the Plane Transmission Channel and go home when they unexpectedly found those Blue Star humans hiding here.

Originally, after seeing so many Blue Star humans, some Bat Monsters thought since they had already attained full spoils, seeing so many humans here also gradually quenched their desire for battle.

After all, he believed that fighting with Blue Star humans would certainly end in victory, but if he were to take action, it would inevitably lead to some loss of the goods he had looted. Therefore, if it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to get involved at this time.
