In the apartment buildings outside Deherim, the Green Leaf Group's forces had already assembled, with over 500 Green Leaf Group employees and nearly 2,000 Spiritual Realm Soldiers from the Green Leaf Group, all hidden within the apartment buildings.
They were all waiting.
Waiting for orders from the higher-ups, or for the start of a special teleportation spell, after which they would directly rush into the portal, attacking any soldiers not belonging to the Green Leaf Group as per their prior agreement, thoroughly annihilating any enemies they saw.
“Mr. Yang, the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty outside has already begun their attack on Deherim.” At this moment, Zhang Song had already arrived at the top of the apartment building, and beside him, someone had lit a torch to illuminate the rooftop, preventing any other Undead Monsters from appearing near them.
Zhang Song’s voice was quite urgent at this time, and also filled with excitement: “The Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty has formed a special mist that can protect them from the Holy Light attacks of Deherim. I was worried before that Deherim’s Torch Tower might pose a threat to the Skeleton Legion, but I didn’t expect the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty to use mist to circumvent this situation. It truly surprised me.”
Standing on the rooftop of the apartment building, they looked at the shimmering white light hundreds of meters away, the area covered by Deherim’s Holy Light, which made it look as bright as day, allowing them to clearly see everything.
They had, of course, already seen the black mists within the white light-covered area, enveloping individual Skeleton soldiers of the Skeleton Legion as they advanced towards Deherim.
Although it looked somewhat strange, the Skeleton Legion within the mist suffered no harm, perfectly evading the danger of the Holy Light.
After all, the Green Leaf Group had already received intelligence that within the range of the Holy Light emitted by the Torch Tower in Deherim, no Undead Monster would survive; they would all be slowly burned and heated, then directly killed, and no death spirit rules would appear.
Any dark place was just ordinary darkness and would not generate Undead Monsters formed by death spirit rules.
The reason why the Blue Star World fell in such a short time was because the blue star rules were eroded by death spirit rules, resulting in distortion, change, and replacement at the rule level. death spirit rules replaced night; as long as there was darkness, Undead Monsters would descend, spawning terrifying killer monsters.
This was the primary reason, if not the sole reason, for the rapid collapse of Blue Star World’s civilization.
Because the Blue Star World could not resist the descent of Undead Monsters in the dark, once night and darkness fell, it meant that time was controlled by death spirit rules; it was a carnival for Undead Monsters.
Blue Star Humans or Lingjie Human Race could only be forced to leave or hide, and had no good solution for the night controlled by death spirit rules.
Lighting torches to create light and dispel darkness was merely child’s play, a forced and helpless measure; after all, lighting torches to create light and dispel darkness was only a temporary situation within a small area.
However, having a structure similar to a Torch Tower that directly emits Holy Light with divine power, dispelling darkness and even death spirit rules, that is the true solution.
On the surface, this Torch Tower might seem like just a large version of a torch or bonfire, but in reality, it is no longer just a simple act of dispelling darkness to prevent death spirit rules from taking effect.
Instead, it fundamentally dispels death spirit rules, preventing them from descending at all. Even Undead Monsters possessing death spirit rules, even if hidden in the dark, would be burned to ashes and utterly destroyed by this Holy Light.
This is the most fundamental solution.
Mr. Yang and Zhang Song of the Green Leaf Group understood this, as Zhang Bo had long since acquired this information and reported it to them, which was why they were secretly astonished.
Such methods were beyond their comprehension, belonging to the profound heritage mastered by that Human Race empire in the Spiritual Realm.
After all, they also knew that before the Spiritual Realm shattered, when it was still part of that fantasy-side crystal wall system, it had fought against death spirit rules and Undead Monsters for a considerable period, even culminating in the End War.
Although it ended with the shattering of the Spiritual Realm’s crystal wall system, leading to no ultimate winner.
However, precisely because even the crystal wall system was destroyed, and countless beings and races died as a result, the rules of death expanded to an infinite degree in a short time. Upon arriving in the Blue Star World, the death spirit rules formed by the rules of death directly became the strongest rules.
Therefore, no matter what boundary rules or blue star rules existed, they could only be forced to submit to the rules of death. Even the Abyss rules and Purgatory rules, which are relatively close to death spirit rules, seemed to have become vassals. In fact, it was precisely because of the immense power of death spirit rules that countless masterless souls and soul fragments were born, allowing the Abyss rules and Domain rules, which can absorb soul fragments, to receive some replenishment and avoid being completely absorbed into death spirit rules.
But these are all beside the point.
In any case, even the elders, including the Great Elder, in the powerful Wood Elf Plane controlled by the Green Leaf Group, had no way to solve the erosion of death spirit rules.
It was only in the Wood Elf Plane that fragments of Natural Consciousness, belonging to Natural rules, remained and could help them resist the erosion of death spirit rules, which allowed them to thrive in the plane.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to live unharmed, unlike those Spiritual Realm races in other planes who had their sanity eroded by death spirit rules, turning into hordes of living dead, becoming bloodthirsty and brutal.
“The situation is very good now, I am quite pleased. Zhang Bo did very well, and you all did very well too.” Mr. Yang slowly spoke at this time, a smile on his face, especially as he looked at Zhang Song and the other managers behind him, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.
Because Mr. Yang was truly very pleased; he hadn’t expected Zhang Bo’s plan to be so successful. And his communication with the Great Elder in the Wood Elf Plane was also so successful.
Even the Skeleton Legion and the vanguard of the Seventh Dynasty in the underground tunnel communicated so successfully.
With so many successes, they finally coalesced into the grand plan that would begin tonight.
Mr. Yang, who had already ascended to a high position before the apocalypse, now watched the Skeleton Group, hidden in the mist, advancing in large numbers towards the city walls of Deherim, unimpeded, a growing excited smile on his lips: “Next is when the portal is about to open, but I also know that according to Zhang Bo’s plan, the portal will only be activated after these Skeleton Legions of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty have thoroughly drawn the attention of Deherim’s defenders to the city walls, and a large-scale disturbance has occurred in the Town Area. That’s when it’s our time to perform.”
“That’s right, Mr. Yang, it is just as you say. As long as we proceed steadily according to the plan, victory will be ours.” Behind him, Zhang Song spoke decisively, while the other executives also nodded excitedly, each gripping their elven longswords with great anticipation.
Victory was indeed theirs, an undeniable fact. They had waited for this day for a long time, from the downfall of the Diesel Company to the sudden rise of Deherim.
They all yearned for the day when the Green Leaf Group would monopolize Bali River Street.
The collapse of the Diesel Company was too swift, and the rise of Deherim was also incredibly fast, leaving them unprepared.
But now, things were different.
Now it was the Green Leaf Group’s turn to catch others off guard.
They were going to directly eliminate any enemies standing in their way amidst this unpreparedness, then rapidly rise themselves, enjoying true life and treatment. At that time, they would be the strongest force in Bali River Street.
They might even have the opportunity, as the concentration of extraordinary power increased, to have the Wood Elf Plane invest more in them, making them stronger.
Then, they would unify the entire Long City, using its resources to gain more investment and powerful strength, ultimately becoming the sole overlord of Long City.
And as the meritorious officials among them, they would also enjoy greater benefits. Moreover, they had heard before that the Blue Star World was about to transform into a Spiritual Realm, a brand new Spiritual Realm.
If it all transformed into a Spiritual Realm, then they too would truly become the Wood Elf race.
Although they were essentially Blue Star Humans, once they transformed into the Wood Elf race, they would indeed be Wood Elves from then on.
The social status they desired would depend on how much they, as Blue Star Humans, had helped the Wood Elf race. Then, through soul-level resonance, after completely transforming into Wood Elves, they would attain their social status within the Wood Elf race.
Therefore, everything they did was for the future.
“Tell everyone to prepare for battle, no rest for now, just warm up. If you have rations, only eat to 40% fullness, don’t eat too much.” At this moment, Mr. Yang slowly recovered from his excitement, looking at the reality that was about to succeed, he also made the final arrangements: “Eat something, especially the tree honey we saved up, give some to our soldiers to replenish their strength and prepare for battle. If they don’t have enough energy, the upcoming battle will definitely lead to weak limbs and a lack of strength.”
These were the most basic lessons on the battlefield, understood not only by Mr. Yang but also by Zhang Song. He nodded, then turned and walked out of the room, found his confidants, and briefly instructed them to convey the order.
And in this very room, Zhang Song also pulled out thumb-sized pieces of honey, resembling amber, from his backpack and handed them to these senior managers and Mr. Yang.
“Let’s all eat some too. These honeys contain a bit of magical power that can quickly replenish our energy and bring us a sense of calm, preventing us from becoming too flustered.” Zhang Song distributed the honey at this time, a smile also appearing on his face. This magical food was actually honey made from the fruits of magical trees transplanted from the Wood Elf Plane.
Made with honey and fruit juice, it was sweet and sour, with a very good taste. Normally, it was a strategic reserve in the Wood Elf Village, with only a small portion of frontline combat personnel receiving one piece each night.
Now that they were facing such a major crisis, they would naturally take out all of it and distribute it to everyone, allowing everyone to enjoy this sweet taste to replenish their physical strength and restore their confidence, and not lose morale during battle.
After all, this special honey was originally a kind of heritage provided to them by the Wood Elf Plane.
It could help them gain more effects in battle.
Now they were finally going to use it. They had originally stockpiled this honey to deal with the threat of the Diesel Company, but they hadn’t expected that before they could even deal with the Diesel Company, this biggest threat had already been overthrown and collapsed.
Now, it had coincidentally become a strategic material reserved for dealing with Deherim.
The effects were the same.
Mr. Yang and the other senior managers ate the honey in small bites, feeling the sweet and sour taste spread through their mouths, and a sudden sense of calm appeared in their hearts.
Including Mr. Yang, he also ate the honey in small bites, feeling its soft, gum-like special texture.
And as his teeth bit down, it broke apart in his mouth, and with his chewing, a sweet sensation spread through his oral cavity. As he swallowed, it plunged their bodies and minds into a unique and wonderful feeling.
And the physical exhaustion they had experienced from traveling before also quickly spread through their stomachs with the honey, forming waves of warmth and a cooling sensation, allowing their energy to recover quickly. (End of chapter)
