NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 63: A Decisive Escape
Attacking ten targets simultaneously, everything went smoothly elsewhere, but unexpectedly, they were held back in a Kobold kingdom.
At first, seeing the Kobolds, Xu Luo didn't pay much attention, thinking that with the Earth Dragon Zerg's strength, they could quickly eliminate them. However, reality proved him wrong.
The Kobolds' strength wasn't weak; on the contrary, it was exceptionally powerful, making them the strongest target he had encountered.
Ordinary Kobolds were indeed weak with little combat ability, but there were also formidable experts among them.
Various mages and fighters emerged in abundance, with numerous Silver-tier elites and Lords among the higher ranks.
It was because of their presence that the Earth Dragon Zerg's advance was very slow.
Moreover, as the Kobold empire mobilized all its forces to counter the invasion, various armies converging from different directions gave them a numerical advantage, trapping the Earth Dragon Zerg in a stalemate.
The tactic of splitting forces to strike at the Divine Realm core also failed to succeed.
"They're truly wealthy!" Xu Luo couldn't help but be amazed seeing the alien God using various enhancement abilities on common units as if they cost nothing.
Fortunately, although there was a stalemate here, things were progressing smoothly at other targets, directly crushing the opponent's forces and then striking at their Divine Realm cores.
After delaying the invading forces, Moji contacted people he knew while attempting to reverse-locate the opponent.
Locating took time, but now that they were in a stalemate, it wouldn't end quickly, so he felt he had a chance to pinpoint the opponent's location.
Once successfully located, the end of the battle would no longer be in the opponent's control.
During invasions, many could only passively defend, largely because of the sudden nature of the attack, leaving no time to locate the opponent. They were either caught off guard or the invader would abandon the invasion and cut off the connection if things didn't go well.
Without a transfer channel, you couldn't invade even if you wanted to.
"Trying to locate me?" Xu Luo smiled, detecting a probing force.
Seeing that one battlefield had concluded, he didn't bother collecting spoils but directly opened a transfer channel there, descending into Moji's Divine Realm.
On the fiercely contested battlefield, a sudden light flashed, then a pillar of light appeared, followed by dense shadows emerging from it.
Seeing this, Moji's tentacles swayed, his mood very depressed.
He had thought he had tied down the opponent's main force, not expecting them to have surplus troops.
By now, he also knew that he wasn't the only one in this area being invaded.
Those who had agreed to mutual assistance were all under attack, and distress signals from other alien races had reached him.
However, he could barely protect himself now.
Discovering that over a dozen nearby Gods were simultaneously invaded gave Moji a direct impression of the invader's strength.
This was an extremely powerful top-tier hunter.
No God in the vicinity was their match.
Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but consider retreating.
Continuing to fight would eventually break the stalemate.
He now knew where the newly appeared forces came from.
Some Divine Realms had already been breached, allowing the opponent to dispatch surplus troops, and there would be more and more.
The balance of the stalemate would be broken. When other Divine Realms were all breached and the opponent concentrated their superior forces for a full attack, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Although there were alliances, that was only for times without danger. Now, of course, everyone looked out for themselves.
The relocation card couldn't be used now, as it was ineffective during battle.
However, Moji had made multiple preparations before, fearing encounters with invaders.
In the area of his Divine Realm core, there was a void transfer array capable of teleportation.
But it could only cover a very small area. Using it would mean losing most of the Divine Realm's area. More importantly, he couldn't take away so many Kobolds.
Just thinking about abandoning the species he had invested so much effort and resources in cultivating made Moji very distressed.
However, in the current situation, if he didn't flee, his units would be wiped out and plundered by the opponent. Losing his Divine Realm, even with his status, getting another chance would mean starting over.
On the battlefield, more and more transfer light pillars appeared, with Earth Dragon Zerg continuously joining the fight.
The pressure on the Kobold army was increasing.
Seeing this, Moji finally hesitated no longer and activated the transfer array, teleporting his Divine Realm core along with a portion of the Divine Realm land.
Preserving some was better than losing everything.
The entire Divine Realm began to shake violently.
At the edges of the Divine Realm, large chunks of land were breaking off, damaged by the void turbulence without the core's protection.
As the area he could take was limited, Moji could only take some high-level Kobolds and newborns, his hope for rising again. Otherwise, escaping would be meaningless.
The Divine Realm within the array's coverage directly teleported away, leaving only an empty space. Without the core's protection, the entire Divine Realm began to collapse rapidly.
Xu Luo hadn't expected the opponent to choose to leave so decisively.
The abandoned Kobolds were devastated. They had fought for their God, but reality showed that their God had abandoned them.
No matter how firm their faith, at this moment, it crumbled.
Moji, teleporting with the Divine Realm core, felt the pain of faith connections breaking one by one. He was especially worried about the black cloud hanging over the Divine Realm core, but unable to deal with the faith backlash now, he could only leave first.
Seeing a group of Kobolds lose their will to fight and no longer resist, Xu Luo was troubled about how to handle such a large number.
Previously, due to fierce resistance, most would die in battle, and even if some remained, there weren't many, so he would capture and sell them casually.
Now with so many, how should he deal with them?
As the entire Divine Realm was collapsing, there wasn't much time to wait, so he first sealed these Kobolds with sealing cards to sell later.
Although sealing cards were also a significant expense, the return was always worth the investment compared to the gains.
After dealing with this situation, he could now proceed with post-battle cleanup and collect his spoils from the other battlefields.
The collapse of the other Divine Realms wasn't as fast as Moji's, so he could wait a while.
