The God's Games

Chapter 187: Popularity Increase (Part 1)

Jenlyns swung his magic spear that had been blessed by the Priest, and the demons he struck fell and never got back up.

Before long, a clear area surrounded Jenlyns, with not a single demon left.

Jenlyns exclaimed with satisfaction, "The enchanted weapon really does make a big difference!"

On the other side, the players lined up at Father Barry's place to get their quests and headed to the Eastern Plains.

The new players who were happily followed the veteran players, mumbling, "Great! We finally don't have to fight demons in the forest anymore. This time, we get to act together with the veteran players."

But they were excited too soon.

When they reached the Eastern Plains, the area looked completely different in the blink of an eye.

The blue sky, white clouds, and green grass had vanished, replaced by a dark, gray haze as if the air was filled with dirty particles.

Even the rabbits that were usually everywhere had disappeared.

The demons had already arrived in the Eastern Plains and were now scattered, searching for prey.

Master PungPong looked around and noticed that the house Hanjun had built not far from Ulon City hadn't been damaged.

He wondered if the demons were smart enough to avoid the house to avoid danger.

Although there were more demons than before, for the players, this just meant more experience points!

They quickly divided up the areas and started clearing out the monsters.

"Hehe, here we come for the experience points."

Meanwhile, the Adventurer's Guild went to the western forest.

Because of the trees, the demons didn't like going there, so there was much less pressure.

Plus, Hanjun had set up a barrier in the forest, so any demons that entered the forest couldn't leave.

And once there were enough demons inside, no more could come in, making it a very friendly area for the adventurers.

"Seems like the demons aren't that tough after all."

And so, the three factions began their initial skirmishes in the war around Ulon City.

On the other side, the demon general heard about the resistance.

Sitting in the main command position with his chin propped up, he said, "Ever since the last defense line was broken, we haven't faced any resistance for a long time. I didn't expect these humans still wouldn't give up. Let's have some fun with them this time."

The Ogre Knight who is stood before him, lowered his head down, and said, "My Lord, I..."

The Demon General waved his hand, and the Ogre Knight fell silent.

"I know you want to redeem yourself, but now is not the time. Let me see how long these humans can hold out."

The Ogre Knight's request was denied.

It wasn't his turn to act yet; the Demon General said they had to wait.

The Ogre Knight had no idea what the Demon General was thinking, so he could only silently obey his order.

On the other side, things weren't easy for the humans either.

Every day, the demons kept coming endlessly.

The demons didn't seem to know the feeling of injury or death, but humans could feel exhaustion.

Even with rotating shifts, after three or four days, the Adventurer's Guild couldn't hold on any longer.

At that time, Jenlyns was in the Royal Knights, directing the battle.

After defeating the demons, there were too many bodies left behind, so they had to clean up the battlefield.

Luckily, the demons weren't completely without rules.

During a ceasefire, they wouldn't disturb the people cleaning the battlefield.

Jenlyns heard the report from his subordinate and thought for a moment, "Are they struggling already? Didn't they receive the enchanted weapons?"

The subordinate, without looking up, replied, "I went to check. The adventurers have suffered heavy losses. Even though they were dealing with scattered demons in the forest, they didn't gain much advantage."

The adventurers weren't like the Royal Knights or the players; they were ordinary people with no clear leader and lacked discipline.

So it made sense that they were having problems.

What surprised Jenlyns, though, was the good news from the heroes.

The heroes summoned by the Church of Light were almost as numerous as the Royal Knights and most of them knew how to use the Light-type Magic.

At first, Jenlyns was a bit worried because the heroes summoned by the Church of Light didn't seem very strong.

He thought the Church was just trying to make up the numbers with them.

But in just a few days, these heroes had grown into something amazing.

With this kind of growth speed, should he say, "No wonder they are called heroes"?

If Jenlyns asked Master PungPong about this, Leng Feng would proudly say, "That's the power of grinding!"

Unfortunately, Jenlyns wouldn't ask such a question, so he missed out on the truth.

His subordinate waited for a while, but when Jenlyns didn't speak, he whispered, "Captain, what should we do about the Adventurer's Guild's request for help?"

Jenlyns glanced at him and said, "What can we do? With so much pressure from the demons, do you think we have time to help them too?" Your next chapter awaits on ???

The subordinate didn't know what to say, and quickly responded, "I'm not very good with words. I just meant we shouldn't ignore what's happening to the west side."

Jenlyns waved his hand, understanding his subordinate's thoughts. "Alright, I know what you're trying to say. Don't worry, we don't need to worry about this matter."

Soon, Jenlyns's subordinates heard that the Church of Light had learned the Adventurer's Guild was struggling against the demons and quickly sent more heroes to help.

The heroes went to the western forest and quickly fixed the gap in the defense.

Two more days passed, and the demons still hadn't made any big moves.

They just kept sending their minions to attack, which made both Hanjun and Jenlyns feel something was strange.

Because of this, another strategy meeting was called at the church.

The main focus of the meeting was to discuss the demons' strange behavior and plan their next steps.
