My Players Are So Fierce

But I hope you all understand, the already complex terrain of Blackflame Mountain Pass, combined with the underground tunnels excavated by Gnolls and Ratmen, will make this place one of the most dangerous areas on the continent even after restoration.

Last night’s Star-world Tear not only cast the dangerous forces of the material world into the Star Realm, but also ‘threw’ some things from the Star Realm in.

Colonel Fraser should have some understanding of this.

After all, you are the only outsider here who has personally seen the ruins of Cardman City.”

“Hmm, I can understand the danger in it.”

The haggard Colonel Fraser was riding a warhorse, his four guards were on alert, observing the surroundings, and the others also spread out, each observing the situation at Blackflame Mountain Pass in their own way.

But frankly, from this position, you can only see the sky and earth shrouded in dark smoke ahead, and even at the most active dawn of Solar Energy, sunlight cannot penetrate the haze there.

And the scars torn across the sky were as unforgettable as the Creation of the Star Realm in Transylvania, with the top of the gloomy sky showing a purplish-black crack like the mouth of a Demon, akin to a striking scar.

The huge purplish-black Corrupt Energy was constantly emanating from within, falling like black snow into the smoke below.

The entire mountain pass and even the battlefield area were enveloped in such a desolate scene.

On the ground positions, all the remnants were covered with a layer of unsettling black drapery, making it impossible to see anything of value with the naked eye.

Yet, the more it was, the grimmer General Winter Wolf’s expression became.

He himself inherited the family tradition and was a rather distinguished Winter Energy Master.

Although most of the time, the General did not need to personally engage in manipulating Psychic Spells, his professionalism remained.

With a Psychic’s perception, he could clearly feel the chaotic, corrupt force entrenched on the front positions, and even from this distance, the corrupt energy lingering on the battlefield was still affecting the mind.

The awe-inspiring presence left by that most perilous wave of chaotic current from the Great Star Tear, if such a force appeared over Klim Fortress, his fortress might not be able to withstand it.

The Transia People created all this before us.

These guys can already use the Star-world Tear, akin to a natural disaster, as a weapon, and from this perspective, to force the Transia People to release such terrifying destructive force at the cost of destroying Blackflame Mountain Pass also indirectly proves the peril of this Black Disaster.

“Have all the Split-claw Jackal-men died?”

General Baldwin asked.

This time, it was not Triss who answered him, but Maxim, who had completed the silver trial and possessed a more robust and general-like prestige, the Monster General said in a low voice:

“The Star-world Tear does not kill all life forms within its effective range, Lord Baldwin.

It is not inherently a ritual of destruction, but we can be sure that during the tensest ten minutes of energy conflict in last night’s Star-world Tear, most of the Split-claw Jackal-men on the surface were either annihilated by the psychic conflict or swept into the Star Realm.

There should still be some Split-claw Jackal-men within the Blackflame Mountain Pass range now, but even if they survived by chance, their shells will be filled with the fear and chaos brought by corrupt energy.

The longer they stay in this area, the more they will be affected.

Do not worry about their fate.

The Star Realm Beasts roaming this ruin will deal with them for us, however, those dangerous things cast into the material world by the Star-world Tear will become a new trouble.

If we plan to reclaim this place in the future, then a large-scale cleansing will be inevitable.”

“It will dissipate, right?”

General Baldwin’s adjutant, Colonel Duke, asked:

“So, after some time, will this place still become the advancing road of the Jackal-men?

Now all the defense positions have been leveled, which means we cannot ambush the Jackal-men’s army here anymore.”

“Worse than that!”

Using earth spells to complete the measurement, the Silver Dwarf Architect Ilich Uhm, Battle Heart, supported by a surveying staff, walked over.

The similarly haggard Old Dwarf shook his head and said:

“A third of the soil of Blackflame Mountain Pass has been swept away by the Star-world Tear, equivalent to the volume of a small island, which means that after the corrupt energy dissipates, the originally towering mountain pass will become a ‘flat’ road after a simple repair.

The Jackal-men wouldn’t even need to climb mountains and could easily pass through Blackflame Mountain Pass.

The local ley lines around here have been completely polluted by corrupt energy, and Mother Gaia will forever lose this sacred land; our spells’ effectiveness here will also be greatly weakened.

Worse still, part of Blackflame Mountain Pass’s complex underground structure remains, and it’s hard to say what is in there now or what will appear later.

From a warfare perspective, Blackflame Mountain Pass has completely lost its significance.

But the greater problem is, Shadow Valley is not a suitable defensive terrain; it lacks depth and has never undergone large-scale warfare modification outside, relying on its fragile terrain to block the Jackal-men simply isn’t feasible.

If Blackflame Mountain Pass can’t stop them, the defense line of Shadow Valley being broken is just a matter of time, then the Jackal-men will cross the Polluted Swamp and reach below the Maginot Line and Klim Fortress directly.”
