"Player has chosen to level up for 10 days in an adventure mood as a bonus for his achievements. This period starts from now."

"World Announcement: Congratulation player Ibro for his success in upgrading his village to Esteemed Village grade. His village is the first in this world to reach such a degree, so Hepatia village gained 15 days protection period as a gift from the game."

Although this period was like a safety measure his village needed, he felt regret. He needed his huge armies back home to continue their raids over the monsters around them either on the surface or underground.

He didn't have any option except the opportunity that was presented on a golden plate in front of him now. He happily added the AP to his Strength stats.

If he added them to his Intelligence then he would only gain 500 AP to his strength if he used his Dinar class function. Adding 1000 AP to his Strength was the best available option he had.

He then looked around him searching for a good spot to start his attack from it. His goal was already set. It was to attack this cave hole and interrupt these monsters' flood into the battle.

If he managed to cut these new reinforcements, those armies defending the village wouldn't let this chance go. He wanted a hidden place to get ready, but all the places here were nearly exposed.

The only place which was covered with trees was the place he was at right now. He looked around in contemplation then he started to change his place. He went back for a while then he tried to get near that cave opening.

When he got into a good position he started to assemble his army. Before when he was at one of his market visits, he bought a lot more soldiers' tokens.

He also gained a lot of soldiers and captains tokens from the treasure boxes he acquired from the underground and surface monsters forts. He had nearly enough tokens to assemble 20 million soldiers.

The only problem he had was that these soldiers were only level 0. These monsters in front of him were at least level 20. He had observed this battle long enough to be sure of his plan.

These monsters had always been moving forward-facing the enemy all the time. They had never looked back even once. He knew his attack depended on the surprise element.

He started to assemble his huge army bit by bit. He first assembled the captains then he explained his plan to them and distributed orders. He missed the generals who were helping him a lot in organizing the army and managing it.

He took nearly 3 hours to finish his preparations. He tried his best to keep the presence of this army hidden from the eyes of his enemies. After he finished he didn't hesitate and ordered the army to launch his attack at once.

The distance between himself and this army wasn't that close. There was at least 5 kilometers that separated him from that cave. Although his level had risen to level 10 he didn't move in the forefront.

He kept himself in the middle of the army. He had no choice, there was no general he could depend on to guide this army. He had to be the brain here. He had selected some cavalry and made them dress differently.

He used them as a messenger unit. The army of monsters in front of them realized their presence when they managed to cross over 3 kilometers.

The appearance of such a large army suddenly and quietly shocked these monsters, but some of them reacted. Those who were experienced at war moved in rapid steps to form several lines separating the incoming human army from reaching the crucial cave point.

At once several horns were sounded loudly trying to rally the monsters to this place. The responses of these few were admirable and were on the level of professionalism.

But their numbers were really few. They only managed to stop the incoming humans for only a few minutes but then they all died. The sudden noise and the chaos that appeared here had attracted everyone's attention to this spot.

The entire battlefield was looking here. The sudden appearance of this huge human army had changed both sides' plans.

That Noda's army changed from defense to offense, while the monsters tried to change from offense to temporary defense till they could solve the newcomers' problem.

The main general of monsters here had already got the Intel about those humans. He knew the level of this army was only level 1 and was increasing rapidly in the level. It was logical to not to give them the chance to raise their levels.

So he chose to defend against the Noda's army and take an offensive approach against Ibro's army. The monsters' response was really fast but it wasn't fast enough.

Ibro stood over the hill observing the whole battlefield. His soldiers had already taken control of this hill and started to be divided into two parts. One part started to attack the incoming monsters from the cave.

Ibro's orders were obvious and strict; don't let any monster get out of this hole and also don't delve deeper into it. He intended to use the narrow nature of this hole to limit the monster's high-level advantage.

The second part which was the major part of his army took the responsibility of defending this spot against these monsters' vicious attacks. Nobody here was a fool; all knew the importance of this cave.

Whoever held that cave opening had a huge advantage in this war. Ibro also knew he couldn't hold this cave forever. He also was limited in his actions as he lacked capable generals.

He really missed Froki and Mamor. He stayed in his place giving a nonstop chain of orders to his soldiers. He tried to adapt to any new tactics these monsters would use.

He kept releasing his orders which played a big role in making his army survive these relentless attacks from monsters. After one day of continuous fighting, his army had lost over two-thirds of his numbers but the remaining soldiers had gained 15 levels.

Some of them even reached level 20. That boost in strength had enabled Ibro to have more flexibility. The only drawback was the failure of Noda's army to penetrate these monsters' army.

That made Ibro feel deep frustration. He needed them to reach his army or he would die here. Although his army was getting stronger minute after minute, he was sure this was only a temporary situation.

The more time he was trapped here the more losses his army would suffer. A mighty lion would fall under the relentless attack of endless mice. There was no sign of the possibility of the other human army to reach them soon.

He thought about the other options he had in front of him. His army had created its own tempo in defense and offense. They also got used to their enemy's tactics.

If there were no surprises, then they could hold their own here. He had to make another risky move or else he would die here. He looked towards the most capable captain he had in his army and then ordered:

"You take charge here. Keep holding this area. I will get back to you soon with reinforcements."

"May I collect some boys to go with you, my lord?"

"No, your only mission is to hold it here no matter what."

"I will do as you command my lord."
