The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Beifeng City, inside the fence wall, a group of Life Professional Players were chattering away with complaints.

"MMP, these NPCs must be cheating!"

"Bullets can't even penetrate them!"

"Ah, now I understand why this world is so backward, it's all because the knights have nuclear weapons!"

"Magic is awesome, I want to switch to Mage!"

"Others are obviously warriors, aren't they."

"I think they look like Healer Knights."

"Why can't they have both?"

"Jealous, I want to train too."

"You're a skeleton training a hammer! Train as a Death Knight!"

"Boo hoo hoo, please open more professions, dear planner."

Because the Translation Crystal was temporarily shut off, the NPCs around couldn't understand the skeleton soldiers' cries, assuming they were shouts to boost morale before battle.

Many residents heard the commotion outside the city and showed worried expressions, exchanging anxious glances, afraid that the outside lord would charge in with his soldiers.

If those lords saw the Lord Demon King's Temple, they'd surely hang these heretics on the city walls!

Unlike the anxious residents, the demons of Beifeng City showed no fear, especially the Little Demons from the Land of Nightmare.

Earlier, only the cannon fodder from the Great Graveyard went out, known as the "newbies."

As for the regular troops under the Lord Demon King, they hadn't made a move, including the dominant Octo of the first level of the Maze, who hadn't even stepped beyond the walls.

If there were real danger, the Lord Demon King definitely wouldn't be so calm; he would probably bring up a Demon General from the Maze.

Most Little Demons, when full, were often optimistic.

Perhaps infected by their optimism, the anxious residents saw the lord's banner hadn't appeared and finally relaxed, returning to their tasks.

As for Robert floating along the street, he was entirely watching the show.

After all, he was a ghost, without a body, and it was all fun for him whichever side won.

Though he admitted in his heart, if these restless undead brothers were gone, it would be a pity for his long days of boredom.

He hoped they'd be okay.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the cave halfway up Beifeng Mountain, and a team of armored demons, wrapped in Netherworld Energy, emerged.

Most of them were undead, but there were Lizardmen, Rockmen, and various forms of demons mixed in.

After months of experience, plenty of players on the Catastrophe OL server have reached Fine Steel Level, and some are aiming for Silver.

Leading the charge to the gate, the Pig-headed Knight craned his neck to look outside, saying excitedly.

"Female Knight? Where's the Female Knight?!"

He had been leveling up in the dungeons on Kao Planet for a while, and now he felt terrifyingly strong, daring even to challenge the Demon King!

Watching this dumb lizard looking around, One Mouthful of Chemical Pool said playfully.

"You're late, the battle's already over."

The Pig-headed Knight was terribly disappointed upon hearing this, and his well-crafted villainous smile fell flat instantly.

"Damn! Why couldn't you hold on a bit longer!"

Upon hearing this, the Life Professional Players around weren't happy.

I'll be the head: "What do you mean, hold on a bit longer? We've been holding strong all along."

I'll be the legs: "They retreated, what can we do?"

I'll be the torso: "Exactly! Speaking as if we're the ones who surrendered!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Chase them! What's there to be afraid of? Your revive is cheap!"

Emotionally Stable: "Even if it's cheap, I've died three times already! Enough, enough, quit yelling, you're always the loudest, shut up!"

Pig-headed Knight: "..."

Minotaur Warrior: "Pfft."

One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "Hahaha!"

...

The battle in Silver Pine Forest ended swiftly, lasting less than an hour, just like the one in the morning.

Theresa and the two sisters of the Moonblade Family had a match in the forest that ended in a draw due to mutual psychological tactics.

The Demon King Army didn't display its real power, mainly because more than half of the undead dispatched were "non-combat units." Evidently, the Campbell Duchy also hadn't showcased their full strength, with the 200 cavalry being just part of Princess Campbell's Personal Guard.

Looking at the simple fence wall, several Life Professional Players stroked their chins, discussing whether to replace the wooden stakes with steel bars and concrete.

Or, to bring stones from the mountain and stick them together with concrete.

Back when everyone built this wooden wall, it was meant for easy disassembly, allowing for expansion as the town grew. No one counted on it for defense; the wooden rods at most blocked birds and beasts from the forest—larger demon beasts cared little for this.

As for now, the situation has changed, with nearby human lords gradually taking notice, even sending troops twice in one day.

"Seems like we need to fix the fortifications."

...

In the southern part of Silver Pine Forest, an army with firearms was gathering toward Beifeng Mountain.

Just this morning, this army was scattered and disbanded, yet now, it had regrouped under Sheriff Adela's call.

After all, it was a royal order, and no matter how much he disliked it, he wouldn't dare mess around with it.

Luckily, by the time he brought reinforcements, the battle in the forest was over, and Erin Campbell's Personal Guard was breaking out from the Skeleton Sea.
