Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 25
The lion and tiger folk that landed on the city walls for the first time displayed the formidable strength of the Beastmen before Violet.
No one used weapons, they relied solely on their sturdy bodies and claws in combat. Sometimes, they would fiercely bite at vital points like true wild beasts.
The fighting style of these two races was basically similar. Speed, strength, defense, and endurance were well-rounded, making them comprehensive warriors.
Regular human soldiers couldn’t inflict significant damage on them. Even if a spear stabbed them, it would at most leave a bleeding wound. However, once the claws of the lion or tiger folk landed a solid hit, even with armor protection, the best-case scenario would be a severe injury.
Only squad leaders and higher-level experts could contend with them individually. However, if all officers were to engage in combat, leaving aside the question of victory, the entire defense on the city wall would immediately lose its mobility, becoming semi-paralyzed. This would achieve the Beastmen’ goal.
“Die!”
A middle-aged man in the kingdom’s lower-ranking officer armor exerted all his strength to swing his sword, beheading the already heavily injured tiger folk beside him. However, he heard a rushing wind sound in his ears. Another lion folk took advantage of his wide-open attack and swiped its claws toward his head!
Unable to evade!
Charles felt a bitter taste in his heart. He was just an ordinary squad leader of the red-bronze rank, making it challenging to individually confront these powerful Beastman warriors. Now, he exposed a vulnerability in order to kill an enemy.
As a veteran who had been in the military for several years, Charles was prepared for death. As long as Wanhe Fortress remained standing, his wife and children in the city would naturally be safe. He would also receive a generous compensation for sacrificing himself on the battlefield...
Nobody wants to die, but if death is inevitable, at the very least, your sacrifice should be meaningful!
At that critical moment, countless thoughts raced through Charles’s mind, converging into a poignant roar.
“You damned savages! Uncivilized beasts!”
As a princess, Lilya had devoted a significant portion of her resources to arming this elite force, equipping them to the teeth. From the perspective of 【Illusory World】, every one of these warriors was wearing a full set of equipment of at least the lowest blue-grade quality. The most impressive among them even wielded weapons of purple-grade rarity.
What does this mean? Even the elite forces of the kingdom, such as the Western Garrison, were only equipped to the point where each soldier could wear white-grade armor. According to Violet’s observations since her arrival in this world, many villages, towns, and even some small city guards were not even equipped to reach the lowest game levels.
They could be described as “tattered xxxx.” These were not professionally crafted, but rather armor with steel pieces sewn onto clothing or sharpened pieces of metal wrapped around wooden sticks. Their weaponry was of such a poor quality that it was downright embarrassing.
In this world, equipment of blue-grade quality is considered top-tier craftsmanship, and higher-grade purple items are referred to as magical weapons.
Magical weapons are typically crafted by powerful mages or created through special means, making them rare and hard to come by. An example would be the 【Demon God Gem (Fragment)】 that Violet casually acquired when she first arrived in that small town.
Items of this caliber are generally only accessible to the royal family of a country or large, influential super-families. For instance, the ring that Lilya wears is a magical item with storage capacity similar to Violet’s item inventory, but its capacity is incomparable.
Moving up the hierarchy, golden spiritual weapons are known as spirit treasures or spiritual equipment, referring to magical weapons or equipment with simple spirituality that are even more powerful.
These items are already considered national treasures. While it’s unclear about other countries, Lilya mentioned that the Human United Kingdom possesses only three spirit treasures, all stored in the deepest part of the royal treasury.
So, when Lester received the color-changing, golden-quality 【Soul Battle Shield of the Black Knight】, he was extremely excited. However, at that time, Violet wasn’t entirely clear about these details. Otherwise, she would have considered it more thoroughly.
As for equipment superior to gold-rarity, they are artifacts left behind by the gods. Lilya hasn’t personally seen items of this caliber, so it’s challenging to provide a conclusive judgment.
Therefore, Violet currently cannot determine whether the “artifacts that were left behind by the gods” in this world are the same as the Divine Artifacts in “Illusory World,” like her weapon, the 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】, and the robe, 【Feather Robe Graria】.
Lilya mentioned that the three Saintesses of the Holy Empire each possess the “God Artifact.” If Violet is interested, she can inquire further.
The priestess discreetly recorded this piece of information in her heart.
