Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 997: The Clash Begins

As the winged races ascended into the sky and took their positions, Orion focused more intently on two individuals who appeared to be the leaders of Trekking Flamingo Runaway City.

They were both tall, imposing minotaurs with leathery wings and powerful draconic features. The first wore a full suit of heavy, ornate, scaly armour embellished in gold and silver filigree, with the insignia of Trekking Flamingo Runaway City—a dragon and miniature minotaur- on his chestplate.

He also wore a crown-like helm that showcased his large, twisted horns, a bulging metallic bracelet on his left wrist, and tightly gripped a Gearweaver blade in his right hand.

The second individual, also of the same race, wore heavily fortified metallic armour covered in chips and cuts, evidence of numerous battles. Instead of looking worn out, it gave him a frighteningly rugged appearance. He had a Gearweaver bracelet on his left wrist and wielded a Gearweaver spear firmly in his hand.

They both advanced forward on a scaly, four-legged magical beast with sharp claws, several bony cones protruding from every direction of its neck, and a frightening, razor-sharp jaw. Long, forked tongues darted in and out of its mouth. The beast slightly resembled the lizards Orion remembered from his previous life, but that wasn't all.

Around the left hind leg of the magical beast was a large, bulking devourer's bracelet tightly locked in place. Orion knew that the beast could also utilize Vylkr energy. Although he had already been informed about this, witnessing it firsthand was a surprisingly new experience. Nonetheless, at a glance, Orion could already ascertain that the first individual was the supreme leader of Trekking Flamingo Runaway City, while the second was the Commander. The gods' chosens parted for them as they made they advanced forward.

"Energy level - 1,989 BEM!"

"Energy Level - 1,994 BEM!"

Orion looked at their energy readings and furrowed his brows in thought. This was the highest energy level he had ever seen outside Paradise. Although he expected the leaders of Trekking Flamingo Runaway City to be strong, he never anticipated them being so close to the ceiling of a three-star warrior.

What does this mean?

Since this was their base energy level, it meant that when they fought with everything they possessed, they could temporarily break through the 2,000 BEM threshold.

If Trekking Flamingo Runaway City was this powerful and only on the verge of becoming a Grade Two Runaway City, then it implied that the Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway and the Journeying Jaguar Runaway City, which were already Grade Two, had gods' chosens with energy levels ranging from 2,001 BEM and above.

However, it made sense. They were growing stronger with the Vylkr Fusion Armlet's help, so nothing stopped those who already had the Devourer's Bracelet from achieving the same.

All they needed was time to catch up, and any enemy they encountered would be trampled under their feet.

"Unfortunately, the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and the Sleeping Fox Runaway City have no chance of winning this battle," Seth said, shaking his head in disappointment.

Despite the two Runaway Cities boasting 13,400 gods' chosens, they were still at a significant disadvantage against the 12,000 gods' chosens amassed by their opponents. How shameful!

It was evident that Trekking Flamingo Runaway City must have several forces stationed back at their Runaway city, guarding and protecting it from any ambush, along with a trump card in case of unforeseen events. This likely wasn't even their full strength.

"Yes, but we'll still need to intervene to prevent heavy casualties on either side," Orion nodded.

Since he wanted to control their forces, even with intentions to dispose of them later, he knew brute strength alone wouldn't suffice. He needed a carefully calculated approach centred around Paradise's long-term goals. He sought a strategy that would instil deep-seated fear and willing submission.

Seth considered suggesting they focus solely on taking Trekking Flamingo Runaway City to conserve resources, but he recognized that Orion's strategy wasn't just about quality—it was also about quantity. So, he held his thoughts back.

Aerialia hovered silently nearby, quietly observing with thoughts of her own. Knowing Orion wouldn't acknowledge her due to Seth's presence, she remained silent, watching the scene unfold below.

They soon stood at the edge of Trekking Flamingo gods' chosens forces, halting before Eleanora, Lakul, and their commanders, alongside those from Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and Sleeping Fox Runaway City.

On the battlefield,

Emperor Greroth arrived at the frontlines and scrutinized the four prominent individuals before him.

Lakul wore a dark, flowing, enchanted robe interwoven with Vylkr alloy threads that shimmered under the sunlight, contrasting with his violet skin hue. His feathered wings were folded behind his back. Hanging over his shoulder was a quiver, arrows forged from Vylkr alloys and other enchanted materials. At his waist, a Gearweaver Bow exuded an ominous aura with its intricate engravings and design.

Next to him stood Eleanora, clad in form-fitting crimson metallic plated armour that allowed for nimble movement, adorned with intricate designs and runes on every piece. Her hair was tied back, and atop her head sat a crimson helmet that completely covered her head, leaving only slits for her eyes and a small opening for her nose and mouth.

The helmet bore a slight protruding image of a tortoise surrounded by multiple figures, each wielding a bladed weapon pointing upward, with a feminine figure lying on its shell. She wore enchanted white gloves laced with Vylkr alloy threads, her right hand resting on the scaly, shimmering hilt of a sheathed sword hanging beside her waist.

Beside them stood their commanders, armed and ready for the impending battle.

As Emperor Greroth scrutinized them, they returned the gaze with equal intensity. Despite the formidable forces of Trekking Flamingo Runaway City unsettling their hearts, they maintained a steady stance. Knowing that the Key Leaders of Paradise were likely observing the battle, they understood the importance of giving their all to demonstrate the full prowess of their Runaway City to ensure favourable treatment in the future.
