Chapter 719 The Attack of the Monsters
Heroic Rank!
Throughout history, the strongest beings on this continent have clashed with humans countless times, including many war-level conflicts.
In these battles, some special individuals with talent, opportunity, and strength emerged and became heroes, serving as pillars in their respective factions.
Although most of them have disappeared, legends about some of them still circulate on this continent.
Hoggs is not a Hero-class hero, but he longs to become one. He has been stuck at the peak of the Gold rank for a long time, but there is no sign of him breaking through.
Hoggs knew he was still missing something, and based on the few remaining records within his clan and the fragmented inheritance deep within his bloodline, he deduced that if he could successfully kill a hero-level being or obtain their corpse, he could break through to become an equal being.
Even so, it's not easy to find heroes, especially in this environment where he can't even leave the forest, so how can he find human heroes?
Therefore, when the one-eyed rat mentioned that the allied forces had a hero-level hero, his heart was filled with turmoil.
Good news, a breakthrough opportunity has arrived; bad news, Hero-class enemies are very difficult to deal with!
Although excited about the appearance of the Heroic class, Hoggs did not let himself be blinded by it. After all, those heroes were not people to be trifled with, and if things went wrong, he might lose his life.
However, I'm probably not the only one who thinks this way...
Hoggs' eyes flickered as he looked at the other monster kings present and noticed that, like himself, they had all made obvious movements upon hearing the word "heroic rank."
Although everyone is of different races, their strength is similar. They are basically just one step away from breaking through. Whether from inheritance, records, or their own feelings, everyone knows that the opportunity to break through lies in the heroes. Therefore, when the hero rank appears, it is hard for them not to be excited.
Hoggs glanced at the restless creatures, then at the king of beasts seated above, his mind racing, seemingly deep in thought...
So, you're afraid?
After thinking for a moment, Hoggs looked at the one-eyed rat below and spoke again:
"Heroes are indeed very strong, but they are not invincible. Each of us here is a top-tier Gold-rank expert, and our strength generally surpasses that of humans."
"He's just a hero-level character, how could he possibly take on six opponents at once? If we all attack together, we can tear him to shreds in no time. Besides, even if they have powerful fighters, don't we have our own?"
After saying this, Hoggs slowly shifted his gaze to the King of Beasts, and after a brief pause, he smiled again and spoke:
"For this powerful beast king, reaching the Hero rank shouldn't be a problem..."
Upon hearing this, the monsters' minds began to stir again.
That's right! The other side has Heroic-class heroes, and so do they!
The King of Beasts is stronger than the other five Demon Kings, so he's definitely a Hero-class monster. With him around, what's there to be afraid of?
Thinking of the power of the Beast King, the demon leaders who were originally afraid of the name of the hero immediately felt relieved, and the demon kings also showed greedy expressions.
They had personally experienced the power of the King of Beasts and knew that he was far superior to them. If they could have his help, reaching the Hero rank would definitely not be a problem.
Once that human hero is killed, as long as a part of his body is obtained, breaking through to the hero rank will be just around the corner!
No one can resist becoming stronger, and this is especially true for these monsters!
Just then, the one-eyed mouse spoke again:
"The adults have misunderstood. I am not expressing cowardice. On the contrary, we rats strongly support this war, not only for the rich resources and land in human territory, but also for a special reason."
"That is, we learned that the relationships between human nations are not as good as they appear. Although an alliance has been formed, it is only in name."
"Not long ago, some objects suddenly appeared on the continent. It is said that they were sent down by the gods. After this happened, they were fighting over it, so naturally they couldn't spend too much effort watching us."
"For their own benefit, they have begun to withdraw some of their top fighters from the front lines, which means our opportunity is just around the corner!"
"That's right, I said they are strong, and they are indeed very strong now, but as time goes on, they will soon collapse. As long as we intensify our attack, our chances of winning will be very high!"
"We may pay a price, but once we break through the coalition forces, everything will be ours!!!"
The one-eyed rat's words seemed to carry a strange, seductive power. Knowing that humans were about to fall into internal strife and their strength would be weakened, the monsters immediately became excited and began shouting, as if they were about to rush to the front lines and kill all the humans.
The same applies to several monster kings; one of the reasons they haven't entered the battle is because the human garrison forces are too strong.
If they really fall into internal strife and start withdrawing their strongest warriors from the front lines, then the monsters will have a very good chance!
However, they did not immediately express their opinions, but instead looked at the King of Beasts.
What was he thinking...?
Under the watchful eyes of the demons, the King of Beasts silently surveyed the crowd before finally fixing his gaze on the one-eyed rat who had incited them.
Gulu~
Although he didn't say anything, the one-eyed rat suddenly felt an immense pressure. He, who hadn't shown any fear while facing the gazes of numerous monsters, began to tremble slightly...
Fortunately, the King of Beasts did not make things too difficult for him. After observing him for a moment, he quickly spoke again.
"I can handle that human hero, but..."
"I will only make my move at the crucial final moment..."
The Beast King doesn't seem to want to be exposed to humans, but he certainly can't watch his monster army be defeated by the enemy. Therefore, if the human hero pushes them to the last moment, he will step in and take care of this guy.
The monster kings and monsters had mixed feelings about this answer. They were happy that the Beast King had finally agreed to take action, but worried that this powerful figure didn't seem to intend to confront the pressure head-on.
In other words, he will not act rashly before the demon army is truly defeated; they must rely on themselves.
This result... isn't entirely unacceptable...
