Chapter 2066: 24.327 Sixth Violet Star - First Kill
At the borders...
While Long Juedi and his team were sparring, the emergency report to the two commanders who were watching over them had caused the peaceful atmosphere to disappear. This beast wave is especially different from the previous beast waves that attacked the border, this wave is now led by the evilest summoner among the human race, Pei Jin, the summoner of the Evil Beast God, Ouroboros.
Commander Huzi asked, "Pei Jin made a personal move!?"
"Yes! Commander Huzi! He said that he had sensed Young Lord Long Juedi!" The messenger said but the confusion on his face is imminent as he himself knows that Long Juedi had never come out of this building after arriving at the borders.
Though his teammates do, they always avoid coming out in the open and would cover their face or wear a disguise. That means there is no possibility for the beast race to know that the Long Juedi and his team had longed to arrive at the borders.
It wasn’t only the messenger who was confused and surprised but also the rest of the members of the team. Even the newly joined soldiers on this team avoided contact with the other teams after joining here. As they knew that Long Juedi and his team were their main reinforcement and their strength is stronger than the other soldiers at the borders. They didn’t want to expose them.
Some young soldiers panicked thinking they would be blamed for this and said,
"It wasn’t me! I didn’t say anything!"
"I swore the oath and will not break it even if I die."
"I am not foolish enough to give an enemy such kind of intel!"
"I want to win! Why would I tell the trump card that will let me have it!?"
The young soldiers made declarations one at a time and each of them voiced confidence that they didn’t do it at all. However, these soldiers had mistaken the reason why their eyes had fallen on them. Long Juedi and his team only looked at their new teammates thinking that they are greatly lacking in stamina. The two commanders, Mo Minkong and Lord Huzi, also know that it is almost impossible for the existence of Long Juedi and his group to be known at this point which is why they are surprised.
The two systems who were lingering in their system forms had always been aiding the two commanders about beast waves and would always check the details of the beast waves whenever a soldier noticed them coming. This time they had overheard the conversation between the Evil Beast God and Pei Jin while wandering around.
System Yue said in the mind of the two commanders, [This news about the Villain knowing that the Protagonist had reached the borders is unknown to them. Pei Jin is attacking because they wanted to reach the city behind the borders.]
[It seems they’ve learned that the Human Marshal is dying and urgently send the beast race to make a breakthrough. They will go all out now with Pei Jin and the Evil Beast God Ouroboros coming over themselves. You guys need to be prepared for the worst!] System Yang gave them a warning.
After learning this, Beast God Mo Minkong and the Ninetail Fox Beastman Leader, Lord Huzi frowned. It was only recently that they learned that Marshal Gu Ying might be dying, but never expected that the Evil Beast God and his contractor had a way to know about this as well. As if reading their thoughts the two systems explained what was happening and why things had led to this point.
System Yue said, [It’s not a surprise they know, the Marshal is their subordinate even before his body was taken over by someone else.]
[Whoever it is that takes over the human marshal’s body is the person you need to avoid the most. This man is most likely the soul fragment of the real villain behind the scene. Even if Marshal Gu Ying dies, this being won’t die.] System Yang added.
Commander Mo Minkong looked at Long Juedi and said, "Long Juedi, you are preparing to fight. We will try to block the beasts as much as possible. But once the enemies of the Lord Prophet have appeared you will have to show yourself."
"Remember, you can only come out when your destined enemies have appeared near the border until then stay behind the walls!" Lord Huzi said.
Long Juedi and the rest of the team saluted towards the two commanders in the group and said, "Yes, Sirs!"
After this, the two commanders left the training hall ordering some soldiers to prepare to fight the beast waves and help in preparing everything for Long Juedi and his team. They head beyond the walls and fight against the incoming beasts who are now attacking the border walls. With the leading of the two commanders, the breakthrough from the ordinary beasts was blocked by them. All of the sudden they felt the ground under their feet shaking making some soldiers lose their footing.
"What the hell is this!? Earthquake!"
"Why would there be an earthquake now!?"
"N-No... This is not... a damn earthquake. Look over there! What the hell is that?"
Everyone looked at the direction the one soldier had pointed at. He is pointing towards the Barren lands itself. When everyone had turned around, they noticed something extremely huge coming over towards them. It was moving too fast. It looked like a huge tiger coming over them.
"Why the hell is this tiger so big as a giant!?"
"What should we do?!"
"This isn’t something we can defeat!"
"It’s over! The territory will be taken over!"
"Don’t give up! The commanders are still fighting!"
Near the frontlines itself, Beast God Mo Minkong and Lord Huzi also noticed the Gigantic Tiger Beast running over towards them and is most likely targeting the borders behind them.
Lord Huzi said, "This is truly the same as the Prophecy. It is truly massive in size."
"This should be the limit of its size. As I do not feel any divine energy coming from it," Beast God Mo Minkong. "It means that this is only a beast whose size has enlarged but nothing more than that."
"That means we can easily defeat it! Well, leave this to me!" Lord Huzi said as he was about to turn to his beast form but noticed that he couldn’t all of the sudden. "Eh? Why can’t I transform into my beast form?"
Commander Mo Minkong also tried but didn’t transform as expected. "Hu’er, the battle against these mutated beasts, we might not be allowed to interfere."
"What should we do then?" Lord Huzi asked. "Are the children ready?"
It was at this point that they once again heard the voice of the two systems in their minds.
[Long Juedi and his team were ready and had sneaked outside the walls. They wanted to make a move when the beast was near the border walls.] said System Yang.
Upon hearing this news the two commanders knew what they were supposed to do.
Beast God Mo Minkong said, "RETREAT! RETREAT!!"
"Go run back behind the walls! Hurry!" Lord Huzi said.

From a distance, Pei Jin and Evil Beast God Ouroboros were watching the whole scene. They’ve noticed that the leader of the Beastmen race was about to transform into his beast form.
Pei Jin noticed this and asked, "My experimental subjects were only enlarged in size but they didn’t increase much in potential. If the Beast God and the Leader of the beastmen race decided to fight in their beast form these five little ones wouldn’t be able to win."
"No. There is nothing they can do. This is not a battle they can interfere. This is a move you made yourself. The only one who can fight your main creations is the destined Protagonist, Long Juedi. The world will not allow them to interfere," the Evil Beast God, Lord Ouroboros said.
The two watch the two commanders on the other side and notice that they had indeed failed to transform to their real form, confirming that the words of the Evil Beast God were real, making the evil contractor, Pei Jin delighted.
"They are retreating! It seems that they are truly not allowed to get involved! Hahaha~ this is great! Then those walls... It shall be smashed by me!!" Pei Jin declared.
—
The one leading the Gigantic Beasts attack was none other than the tiger shaped beast. It was among the five giant beasts who ran the fastest and wanted to destroy the walls as it was ordered. Seeing those damn races that kept blocking the beast race from entering the fertile lands retreat, it looked excited. This Giant Tiger beast was actually thinking that it was the first one among its race that would be able to fulfill their race’s dream of destroying these annoying walls.
’Hahaha~ finally at last! These damn towering walls will be destroyed by me!’ These are the thoughts of the Giant Tiger.
Blinded by its excitement it didn’t notice the trap near the walls, the moment he stepped within a certain range, its four legs were caught into chains and was pulled into right and left making him force a split. Before it can even react, he saw a female dwarf warrior holding a huge ax.
The female elf was none other than Dwarf Princess Shika who was laughing as she shouted and carried the big axe hundred times larger than she is.
"Splitting Earth!!!" She shouted.
The next moment the head of the Giant Tiger had flown away and a fountain of blood fell from the headless neck of the beast. Despite being bathed in the blood of the tiger beast Princess Shika looked refreshed.
She shouted excitedly, "Hahaha~ I did it!! The first kill is mine!!!"
