Chapter Thirteen: Chaos in the Square

  The entire square in front of the temple was in a state of utter chaos. The successive misfortunes, especially the death of "God", thoroughly disrupted the hearts of the beastmen. After Amada and Verona started fighting, most of the beastmen chose to flee in terror, forming a massive tide of countless people rushing about in all directions without any sense of direction.

  In this chaotic tide of humanity, there were soldiers from the warring factions, beastmen who had been goaded into attacking Amada and his companions, and cultists who had collapsed in despair at the death of their priest... They swirled together like whirlpools in a maelstrom, sucking in lives and spewing out corpses and blood.

  Perhaps since the statue of the war god was erected, there has never been so much blood and death accumulated underfoot as tonight. Ironically, this is precisely for his most loyal beastmen. I don't know if Phiris will be delighted in heaven with the sacrifice of so many lives of his people.

  However, despite the plan being ruined by Raymond, Verona successfully made the beastmen doubt Amada's authority. Many of them, like that lion man, recklessly followed the "god's" instructions to overthrow the queen and became cannon fodder for the wolf people.

  Even the soldiers on Amada's side were shaken by Verona's meticulous planning. Many soldiers dropped their weapons and refused to perform their duties, while some even defected directly, leaving only a few of Amada's loyal followers still fighting desperately, trying to kill their way out.

  In a short period of time, the situation has become extremely critical.

  "Ahh!"

  In a roar of rage, the giant Bimon beast that Haken had transformed into sent several Beastmen flying with two or three swipes of its massive paws before charging straight at Raymond.

  The scene was in chaos, with the frightened beasts running wildly like headless flies, colliding with countless people. However, Hakken, who had almost lost his sanity, didn't care about any of this; anyone who dared to stand in his way of revenge would be swept away by the claws of the demon beast.

  In an instant, a giant beast emerged from the crowd, cutting through the waves of people. Regardless of whether they were innocent beasts or soldiers trying to stop it, all were torn apart and thrown into the air by its massive claws, stirring up a bloody whirlwind in the dense crowd, with an extremely shocking momentum.

  In an instant, the beast had charged to the front, leaving behind a bloody trail paved with countless severed limbs and mutilated bodies. The giant claws rose, and Haken let out an extremely resentful low growl: "Raymond!"

  Just as Harken's massive claws were about to sweep Raymond into minced meat, another beast even more ferocious than the first burst forth from the side. Caught off guard, Harken collided with it and the two beasts tumbled away like giant boulders rolling down a mountain, crushing countless fleeing beastmen beneath them.

  "He is the son of a curse, he's there, kill him!"

  Loyal warriors of Bimon and Haken were entangled in a fierce battle, when suddenly another group of beastmen appeared, led by the lion-like man. Upon seeing Raymond, his eyes lit up, and he shouted recklessly.

  Those beastmen were just ordinary civilians, without even weapons in their hands, relying solely on a religious frenzy to charge towards Raymond. The Minotaur soldiers guarding around Raymond immediately went forward to meet them.

  One side was fully armed elite warriors, the other side was unarmed fanatical civilians. The outcome of the conflict was without any suspense. Just listen to a dense array of sharp blades tearing through flesh with a dull thud, in an instant more than a dozen beastmen had been knocked down by the Minotaur's swinging battle-axe, and a scarlet blood wave splashed into the air.

  However, the number of Minotaur warriors was too small, and although they were fierce and fearless, the endless tide of frenzied Beastmen soon had them scrambling to keep up, and the defensive line protecting Raymond began to show gaps.

  Suddenly, the lion-man squeezed past two minotaurs under the cover of several beastmen who were fighting to the death, holding a long spear that he had picked up from somewhere, and charged straight at Raymond.

  "O cursed child, accept the judgment of the god of war!"

  Facing the lion-man who charged at him, Raymond didn't move a muscle. But just as his opponent thrust out his long spear, Raymond shifted his body to let the spearhead pass by, and then followed through with a spin along the spear shaft. As he turned around, his left hand had already grasped the lion-man's neck, while his right hand drew his sword and stabbed it into the lion-man's heart. The entire process was smooth and uninterrupted, revealing Raymond's exceptionally skilled martial arts skills.

  Due to the intense pain, Leon's eyes widened and he took a deep breath. At the same time, Reimond smiled faintly in his ear: "Sorry, I don't want to accept Frey's summons for now."

  Until his death, the Lion-man did not understand how he could die at the hands of a guy as weak as humans.

  It's worth noting that, despite not having a large and sturdy physique, nor being able to transform into a Behemoth, Raymond still possesses the bloodline of the Behemoth royal family. Under his human appearance, he actually harbors considerable power.

  In addition, Amada had trained him in the traditional ways of the Bimon tribe since he was a child. Therefore, even among the beastmen, Ramon had considerable strength, perhaps not enough to defeat a powerful warrior like Haken, but more than enough to take down a mere lion-man.

  It's just that, due to his noble status, those who have been displeased with him since childhood dare not lay a hand on him, only secretly resenting him in their hearts. Moreover, as a human, he has been looked down upon by the beastmen, so few people actually know about it.

  As if he had done something insignificant, Raymond casually threw away the corpse of the lion man. At this time, those Minotaur warriors also dispersed the frenzied beastmen. One of the Minotaur warriors anxiously said to him: "Your Highness, it's too dangerous here, please leave as soon as possible."

  "No way, I have to find Mom first." Raymond shook his head and said.

  Due to the chaos, he and Amada were separated, with only these few loyal warriors protecting them. Although he didn't know his mother's situation, since Amada was an important target for the enemy, the current situation was probably not optimistic either.

  Raymond looked around, everywhere were beastmen running wildly, the scene was chaotic and he couldn't see his mother anywhere. Just as he was about to speak, a loud roar pierced the air, it was Haken who had torn that Bammon warrior in half, now standing up from the crowd with blood all over his body.

  "Damn it, although he's a bit slow-witted, that guy is truly a monster." Ordinary enemy soldiers are still manageable, but this demon Raymon doesn't inspire confidence in being defeated.

  "Hurry, hide in the crowd."

  The Minotaur rushed to protect him, and a group of people took advantage of the scattered crowd to quietly escape from Haken's line of sight. The darkness of night, combined with the chaotic running figures everywhere, made it impossible for Haken to find Raymond's trail even after searching for half a day, which only fueled his rage further. His massive claws brutally swept aside the nearby beastmen, venting his anger on innocent bystanders while continuing to search in another direction.

  Under the protection of the Minotaur, Raymond and his party struggled to separate from the crowd, preparing to leave this chaotic square first. With the four beastmen running around as cover, they were even safer, unexpectedly encountering several soldiers under Verona, all of whom were easily resolved.

  Just as they were approaching the edge of the square, a Minotaur suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, it's Robard the priest."

  Raimon looked in the direction he pointed, through the dense crowd of people, and indeed saw a group of people fighting in front, among whom the tall figure of Old Cow Head was particularly eye-catching.

  A large pack of werewolves surrounded him, with several outer tribes' shamans present, while Robard had only a few Minotaur guards by his side. Even so, the werewolves didn't dare get too close, showing their fear of Robard's power.

  At this time, with a loud roar from Robard, he swung the wooden staff in his hand and made a throwing motion. The pack of werewolves that had been attacking him suddenly planted a phantom war flag, and around the war flag, a circle of light composed of countless runes spread out on the ground.

  "It's bad, it's a Blitzkrieg flag, this is advanced Shamanism, get out of the way quickly!" Several of them turned pale at the sight of Mong Sa, and hastily shouted.

  Before the words had fallen, dozens of lightning bolts suddenly descended from the sky within the range of the light circle scattered by the Phantom War Flag. The wolves in it were caught off guard and immediately knocked down, and a pungent smell of charred skin and meat instantly filled the air.

  At this moment, the werewolves were greatly disordered and the suppressed Minotaur warriors took advantage of the situation to counterattack, immediately forcing their opponents back. However, the werewolf tribe's special skill "Rebirth" was most suitable for dealing with group attack spells, and in a short instant, those werewolves who had not died yet saw their wounds begin to squirm.

  At this scene, Robard hummed and raised his wooden staff again. The werewolf who had suffered a great loss did not dare to let him take action, and one of the werewolves took advantage of the Minotaur warrior's distraction, jumping high from behind and pouncing on Robard's back, interrupting his spell.

  However, as the High Priest, Robad was not only skilled in magic, but also possessed the robust physique of a Minotaur. He saw him counter-attacking with one hand grasping the werewolf's neck, and forcibly slamming it to the ground at his feet. With a swift swing of his wooden staff, the top of the Lava Lizard's skull was like an iron hammer, instantly crushing the werewolf's head into a pulp.

  Just as Robard was about to continue casting, he suddenly felt a pause in his movements, and his body seemed to be bound by something invisible, unable to move again.

  As soon as he saw the few people on the outside making gestures of casting spells, Robard felt something was wrong. The opponent had taken advantage of his distraction by the werewolf to cast a binding spell on him.

  "Hurry, now he can't move, hurry and kill him." One of the Mongols shouted at the werewolf.

  The werewolves immediately launched a frenzied and strengthened offensive, and the remaining Minotaur warriors were unable to withstand it, retreating step by step, with the situation becoming increasingly precarious.

  "Charge!" Seeing this situation, Raymond didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order.

  Unable to hide his tracks any longer, the Minotaur soldier beside him swung a battle-axe, forcibly pushing aside the Beastmen in front of them and charging straight at the warband. At the same time, Raymond also picked up a long spear and threw it at the outermost one, surpassing Mong Sa's throw by a margin.

  At this time, those who were more focused on dealing with Robad's law power than Monsa suddenly made a counterattack. One of them let out a miserable cry and flew out with a long spear that pierced through his chest. The rest didn't even have time to figure out what was happening before they were cut down one after another by the arriving Minotaur.

  At this time, Robard also saw Raymond, and he laughed loudly with his hands free from the spell: "Your Highness, you're just in time." Then he swung his wooden staff, knocking several wolfmen who rushed to him to the ground.

  Then, Luobade raised his spear and inserted a lightning war flag into the wolfman group. Suddenly, the lightning was great, and the cow-headed man took advantage of the momentum to counter-attack. The wolfmen were in chaos, with heavy casualties.

  After killing the werewolf, Raymond hastened his steps and came before Robard: "High Priest, are you alright?"

  Luobade Huomai rolled up his sleeves, revealing sturdy arms: "Don't worry, if you want to kill this old guy, it's still a million years too early."

  He anxiously said: "The Emperor has arrived just in time, quickly follow me to rescue Her Majesty the Queen."

  "What! Do you know where Mom is?" Raymond hastily asked.

  Robard pointed to the left: "I also got separated from Your Majesty, but before being surrounded, I saw her being protected by the guards and retreating down the mountain. Verona led people to chase after her personally."

  Upon hearing this, Raymond was greatly anxious and both sides immediately joined forces to pursue the direction of Amada's retreat.
