God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World! Chapter 622: Mad General

Meanwhile... back on the battlefield.

Alice continued supporting the already extremely weakened Sarah, while Scarlet, holding her silver longsword, slowly walked step by step toward the direction of the Edgeburn army.

Her pace was not fast. It even appeared somewhat casual.

However, as she continuously advanced, the mechanical army that had just restarted and was preparing to continue its advance seemed to be suppressed by some invisible pressure. Not a single war machine dared launch the first attack, and even the Edgeburn soldiers hiding behind the steel battle lines gripped their weapons tightly, the fierceness they had shown while facing New Dawn Camp completely gone from their eyes, leaving behind only an unconcealable apprehension.

Because they had all seen it clearly. That silver sword light which had nearly stretched across the entire battlefield and even split apart the distant hills had merely been a casual swing of this woman’s sword.

Scarlet finally stopped between the two armies.

She raised her head. Her gaze crossed over countless war machines and landed upon Everest in the distance.

"Everest," she said in a calm voice that traveled across the battlefield. "Things have already reached this point. Continuing to fight brings no benefit to your side. Withdraw now. Perhaps there is still another way to resolve everything."

In the distance, Everest quietly looked at her.

After hearing those words, not only did the expression on his face not soften in the slightest, but an incomparably cold smile slowly appeared instead.

"Another way to resolve it?" Everest chuckled. "My son is dead. He died before everyone’s eyes. And the person who killed him not only paid no price whatsoever, but even built his own faction here, enjoying the awe and loyalty of countless people."

As he spoke, the madness within his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"You tell me now. What other way is there to resolve this?"

Scarlet frowned slightly. "Ken died during the Exhibition Tournament. It was a battle in which every participant clearly understood the consequences. Since he stepped onto that battlefield, he should have been prepared to die by someone else’s hand."

"Shut up!"

Everest suddenly roared.

Terrifying waves of power instantly erupted from his body, causing several nearby war machines to tremble slightly, while those eyes of his, which had originally remained somewhat calm, were now completely occupied by hatred and fury.

"This matter has nothing to do with your Adventurers’ Guild! I don’t care what Vice President you are, nor how powerful your Adventurers’ Guild is. Today, whoever dares stand here is an enemy of Edgeburn!"

However, faced with his roar, Scarlet’s expression never changed in the slightest.

She slowly raised the silver longsword in her hand, her gaze calmly fixed upon the enormous mechanical army before her.

"You seem to have misunderstood one thing."

Everest frowned.

Scarlet continued.

"The reason I’m standing here today is not because I represent the Adventurers’ Guild, nor am I interfering in your war as its Vice President.

I’m standing here as Gabriel’s ally. From the moment I made that vow with him, anyone who attempts to destroy everything he possesses is equally my enemy."

The moment those words were spoken.

Whether it was the Edgeburn side or the people inside New Dawn Camp watching the battlefield from afar, everyone’s expression changed involuntarily.

Even Alice could not help slightly raising an eyebrow, as though she had never expected her sister to admit her relationship with Gabriel so directly before so many people.

Scarlet paid no attention to anyone’s reaction. She looked at Everest as her voice gradually turned colder.

"And one more thing. The weapon you used just now is capable of destroying far more than New Dawn Camp. If she hadn’t altered its trajectory, once it completely exploded here, the shockwave and the disasters that followed would likewise spread to the regions surrounding Stellar City and could even directly threaten the entire kingdom."

"When that time comes, the target of your attack will no longer be merely a private camp. You will be declaring war upon the entire Kingdom of Valerian."

Hearing this, quite a few Edgeburn officers’ faces darkened.

Only at this moment did they truly realize that once that weapon completely exploded, the consequences could never possibly remain limited to New Dawn Camp alone. Especially since Stellar City was the most important city in the Kingdom of Valerian. If it were caught in the blast, the entire kingdom would absolutely not ignore it.

However, Everest only stood there, his expression showing not the slightest trace of fear.

On the contrary, when he heard the words "Kingdom of Valerian," the corners of his mouth slowly twisted into an almost distorted smile.

"The Kingdom, the Guild, allies? All of you keep telling me about the consequences. But did any of you ever care about the consequences I had to bear when my son died?"

At this moment, the last trace of reason within his eyes seemed to disappear completely.

Everest suddenly raised his right hand. The power within his body erupted without the slightest reservation as his voice boomed across the entire battlefield like thunder.

"The entire army, hear my command!! Crush straight through!! No matter who’s standing in front of us, whether it’s the Vice President of the Adventurers’ Guild or the people of the Kingdom of Valerian, crush every last one of them together!!"

"Today, no matter what price we have to pay, I will reduce this entire camp to the ground! Don’t leave a single survivor alive!!"

Rumble—!!

Along with his command, the Edgeburn army, which had paused only briefly, started up once again. Countless war machines let out deafening roars simultaneously. Steel tracks crushed the earth beneath them. Dense ranks of cannons once again lit up with dark crimson light, as the entire army resembled a steel beast that had completely lost its reason, crazily advancing toward Scarlet and the New Dawn Camp behind her.

Seeing this, the silver longsword in Scarlet’s hand slowly rose.

Within those light blue eyes, the last trace of persuasion finally disappeared completely.

"In that case, then there’s nothing left to talk about."
