The witch thought I am a Demon God

Chapter 826: Chapter 434: The Dark Giant

As the soul of the Ancient God Toad completely flowed into Ivita’s Light Soul, Ivita’s Light Soul underwent another transformation. A circular white light emitted from his Light Soul and appeared behind Ivita’s head.

The Ancient God Toad uttered his final venomous words to Ivita. "I go first, but your end will not be any better, I’ll be waiting for you ahead."

"Everyone who cooperates with the Pan God ends up like this."

Ivita, however, didn’t even glance at him.

He had never trusted the Pan God.

Besides, in Ivita’s view, the Ancient God Toad had brought this day upon itself. The moment it awoke, it was destined for the present situation.

Others simply hastened the inevitable.

The Ancient God Toad had harbored enormous hatred towards humans since the ancient times, and after its revival, it never considered changing its views, continuing to disdain humans, who are now the dominators of this world.

So its end was bound to be grim.

The Ancient God Toad, born from the prayers of the Son of Forest, was indeed powerful as an individual, but compared to the entirety of human civilization, it was too insignificant.

Ivita felt that his Light Soul had been strengthened by at least ten percent and suddenly discovered that he possessed a special ability—the perception of malice.

He closed his eyes, and as the great ring of Light Soul materialized behind his head, he sensed the malice from the tens of thousands outside the realm of the Ancient God Toad towards him.

"Indeed, the witches strayed suddenly from the path of the Light Soul and chose to create the Soul of Darkness, gaining further advancement at the expense of losing many possibilities," Ivita pondered, "But the path of the Soul of Darkness is the correct one."

"The advancement of the Light Soul has become too cost-inefficient."

Ivita scanned the special species spawned from natural organs. The Druids, having suddenly intervened in the battle of the Ambros people, had evidently grown impatient to reap the benefits of today’s war by creating these monsters.

On the battlefields outside, both sides remained oblivious to the Druids’ conspiracy.

Well, the battlefield was too complex now. He couldn’t directly join the fray, lest he be outmaneuvered by others; he could only continue to observe the situation.

The giant Ivita left the inner world of the Ancient God Toad and distanced himself from the battlefield, quietly awaiting the imminent change that would unfold within it.

...

Atop the city walls, the chairman of Ambros City’s city council, upon seeing that the walls were about to be breached, immediately ordered that the families of the guilds be prepared for evacuation first, while simultaneously conscripting all the civilians in the city to join the battle.

The Chairman of the Weaving Guild said indifferently, "At this time, drafting them into battle will likely result in their deaths, won’t it?"

The chairman of the city council looked at him in surprise. "Do you have any suggestions?"

The Chairman of the Weaving Guild replied calmly, "First send soldiers to the slums to conscript people, and then go to the civilian residential areas. The middle class and the guild families can simply donate money."

"After all, the poor are better at fighting, fearless of death. Remember to give them sufficient consolation money, and they will exhibit a fighting power beyond our expectations."

"Although civilians are hardworking, they have been coddled too much. Moreover, they have the concerns of parents and spouses, so they can’t demonstrate much fighting ability."

The eyes of the chairman of the city council lit up, and he said to his fellow middle-class bodyguards and the Chairman of the Weaving Guild, "That makes sense. Your suggestion is useful. Let’s proceed with this gentleman’s method immediately."

The governors of The Three Republics also nodded in agreement.

The governor of Florcana said, "Rich people provide funds, and the poor provide labor. This is the most reasonable arrangement. Ambros City has a population of half a million with huge potential for war; even without professionals, they can exert strength."

The governor of the Republic of Belisarius added, "We can simply give them a bit more consolation money."

The governor of the Aristocratic Commercial Republic suggested to the chairman of the city council, "The mayor previously conscripted a batch of death row prisoners. I think we can forcibly conscript prisoners with minor crimes from the prison as well. Don’t forget, there are also a lot of freelancers inside Ambros City who should contribute to their country."

The members of the city council and the governors of The Three Republics, as well as the mayor, began discussing.

Soon, they developed a scheme to exploit the civilians to strengthen the military and defeat the Compulsion Viscount’s forces in one fell swoop.

The general from Brittany remained silent throughout.

Holy Brittany, a small nation within a great one, has survived because it truly cares about the fate of the people of Brittany.

The general from Brittany saw that within Ambros Territory, whether it was the heads of the guilds or the noble factions, they all regarded civilians as chives, as tools, as puppets.

The Three Republics and the Thirteen State Independent Federation each had their differences, such as the Aristocratic Commercial Republic cherishing every citizen more, but they did not care about the fate of Ambros people.

Therefore, they were so accommodating to the ideas of the city council of Ambros.

The mobilization of civilians by Ambros undoubtedly increased the burden on the Compulsion Viscount Army. The armies of the three kingdoms within the Holy Empire had already begun to consider retreat.

The general from the Potzstan kingdom suggested to the Compulsion Viscount, "Viscount, we should retreat first. Forcing our way into the city is the most unintelligent move. Since your monsters have fallen, we should continue the siege on Ambros and make the utmost effort to retain the achievements we have made thus far."
