"Now I'll tell you the following instructions, which you must follow to the letter or you'll face the consequences for insubordination, and there is no exceptions." As the old man said the last few words, he specifically looked at where The Order was located at, entirely not caring to hide his contempt at all, but he also didn't dare to meet Yun Beishang's eyes for a single instant.
"We will be moving towards a forest, but there is already sightings of Demons and other enemies outside of it, so we are now forced to launch a flash attack towards them right away. However, because of the fact that we are only able to bring you guys into that Sub-Division with the might of the Guiding Voices, each Journeyer can only die up to 2 times before not being able to teleport back into the battlefield anymore."
"As for those that come from there themselves, they can do so as many times as they possibly could, but you will still lose your precious strength, so it is recommended you do not brainlessly charge into the enemy lines. The clearing of the outer perimeter of the forest is surely to be taken by the Main Kingdom Vanguard from 1 and a half to 3 days in total. Work hard, Journeyers. Now, on the move!!"
Finished saying his words, the post all around the old man began to glow, and an extremely incredible change occurred.
Before, the post where everyone was located at was an immense terrain that was about tens of times bigger than most biggest ordinary cruisers of New Earth and which consisted of only one small bunker-like building at the utmost front; suddenly glowed immensely as all of the post's terrain was immediately lifted from the floor of the base and began moving straight towards the huge portal!
Looking back, Yun Beishang saw that 10 meters or so-long stairs were being formed as the huge portal was being approached by several dozens of 'platforms' that similarly left stairs as it continued to move in the air towards the huge portal. His eyebrows jumped a tiny bit as he thought to himself, 'Magical indeed, but also technological... hm.'
As his eyes twinkled, Yun Beishang felt the platform that was sending him and tens of millions of players all at the same time towards the huge portal stop. And once they all stopped at once, from which to the front and the left and right side of each post's building had the platform they were on top of expand towards one another before immediately moving towards the huge portal; disappearing into it as silence descended onto all present ears.
"... ... ..." Everyone present was only waiting, there was no need for an explanation. Towards this huge platform that was created, literally from nothing, and that allowed practically about anyone and even anything to step onto the stairs and move straight towards the portal. That not only Journeyers but also inhabitants of Main Kingdom would be charging over at it endlessly until all numbers were basically filled up.
"CHAARGE!!" At last, a thundering roar sounded out behind all Journeyers just as they were feeling their hearts a bit panicky. Everyone has seen what war could be like, practically all actual Rising Essence players have seen the battle for the first castle of Rising Essence. And to those who have seen it first handedly, they were even more remembering of when and how it happened.
It was once the gore settings were a forced thing, and where it was even possible to see on TV, though it did had a censorship option for kids and sensitive people though. Still, to now be able to live it, that was what now struck most of the Journeyers but for real now.
Sure, most other players have already participated in some group battles outside of the first Global Tournament ever held, but now it was no longer just pixeled players, it was also the fact that they were about to meet the 'real' flesh and blood of the game. They were about to not only kill some Demons with 'real' bodies, but their allies too, which were from the other 6 playable Races and beyond.
STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP! Step step step step step step!!!
It might be seen as awkward from an outsider's perspective as only a few dozens of Journeyers rushed to the huge portal at once, but evne if they were running at double the speed that those dozen could, to take about 1,000 meters of platform to reach the huge portal would still take them a minute or so.
But as they were being slowly joined by another dozens and dozens of Journeyers, becoming hundreds having started a 'race' towards the huge portal, to those who were around it wasn't awkward but stiflingly silent instead. But as time passed, only about half a minute was needed for the sudden breakout of all Journeyers to charge forward to commence!
"Okay. Everyone start moving now." Yun Beishang's command resounded through all members of The Order as they also began to march forward at a running speed, just like anybody else was. While at the same time, he sent messages to Baston and the rest to also move out and set for the battlefield.
STEP STEP STEP STEP STEP STEP... STEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEPSTEP!!!
In but a few more moments, tens of millions of players were moving from the very top of the platform to even from way down below at the floor of the base. To envision a battle between billions of billions against billions, that was naturally impossible. But when it came to Main Kingdom, whose vastness was simply impossible for even Yun Beishang to move around without his or Rosey's extremely overpowered speed-based skills and from which he could only rely on Zyv or Miriam's Core Elemental Throne, it was in fact rather fitting as even the Azure-Drake Forest was completely unknown to the Main Kingdom Vanguard from how vast it was.
And that was something that was known to all players and even inhabitants of Main Kingdom as soon as they crossed over the huge portal, so did The Order and Yun Beishang.
***
Azure Dragon Sub-Division, Azure-Drake Forest. Outside of the forest, and at around 12 pm.
Today, it was a hugely new and rare day for Rising Essence, for Main Kingdom. Not only because of a huge ball of light blue that was suddenly 'summoned' into the air before it then spread all around the western perimeter of the Azure-Drake Forest, making an insanely large ring that encompassed almost all of the western perimeter.
As for the Azure-Drake Forest, it was entirely endless, not even Yun Beishang could discern it even after having condensed his First Form and as he and a few tens of thousands of other players were falling from the light blue ring portal above the perimeter of the forest. There were trees whose height ranged from ordinary, even seen back on New Earth, to tens of meters tall.
Their trunks were of a pretty much normal wooden brown, grey and even dark color; but the leaves and even some branches were fully colored in an azure that was also so bright and with high contrast that it seemed to be made of energy and fake. Even as tens of thousands of players saw a complete azure sea extend to beyond what their mind could comprehend, they were still doubting whether it was real or a side effect from the teleporting.
"WOOOOOOHOOOOO!"
"AHAHA-WAHAhahahaha!"
"Woooo-wow! Waaaaaaah!"
"Kyaaaaaaaa~! I'm wearing a skirt, oh, how many glances, heheeee!"
But that did not stop all players from suddenly joining to one another as they heard cries, shouting and bemoans go and go without a stop. As they glanced below at the sea of light bright azure, that was being moved by none other than the wind itself and as it looked like waves of an ocean or a tumultuous river at slow speed, their minds were elevated intensely by the moments.
Yun Beishang, however, felt a bit nostalgic. For as he felt that were he not to have met the Fallen Azure Dragon back then, then the colors of some of its attacks should've been of this one, simply outstanding and attractive. 'May this be the reason why Pure fell for the Azure Dragon, back then? Although... Azure Dragons are known to be... anyway.'
Yun Beishang did not go too much into his thoughts, afraid that he might want to get Tornyllia into another training session; scary training session. Besides, it was also not the time.
"Heeheehee!" Sylda, no longer appearing tomboyish when in front of her beloved man, giggled in a silly way as she felt the wind make an inverted cascade out of her long black ashy hair while holding Yun Beishang's left hand. All around Yun Beishang, members of The Order were in a similar situation though more restrained and a bit serious too.
Natalia was naturally no longer playing the game, much less in a warring state, her belly was too big and the time she could spend with his children and Tonkia was much longer. Naturally, she chose Tonkia and some babies over Rising Essence. Besides, nor what was about to happen nor what The Order would be doing next was nice.
"Sylda, position your people to surround the stronger players, tell the Eviscerate League to go along with Baston and Raoundozia, they'll protect you from thugs like the Divine Gates Hall and the Lacerate Guild." Yun Beishang spoke a bit loudly towards Sylda as she turned her head at him, but her eyes twinkled with unknown meaning as she then opened her mouth herself.
"After all you do remember Zynfyl, eh? I hope things can get better overall, this complex family situation is too unnecessary and ugly!" With a face that denounced high disgust and distaste, Sylda voiced out her heart as Yun Beishang silently made a nod inside his heart, not that Sylda needed to see or hear him agree to understand him. Because they were that close nowadays...
"Oh, right. Itnia has told me that you, the 'Master', likes playful and naughty kittens. But I am how I am and though I know I'm a bit of a stubborn person sometimes, and act... very distinctly with you, I just can't be like that all the time. Do you mind that?"

"Chu..." Instead of answering, Yun Beishang immediately shut her up with a simple kiss of between lips. His upper lips was in-between her own as he lightly pushed them further and further in, he and she remained in that pose until their feet touched the ground. All around them, narrowed, disdainful glances showered Yun Beishang while Sylda received the same kind of eyes but instead of disdainful; envious.
"Mou, Master. You will have to give each of us some of that at least once if you really keep doing that in front of everyone, hmph!" Suddenly, Yun Beishang's little monkey voice sounded out as she cutely and silly-like stomped her foot against the ground, which occasioned Yun Beishang to grin and to inadvertently snort in a cheering manner before saying. "Okay, I know. I'll behave, let's get to work now."
Swish-whoosh, swishswish!
Bvreee-Vwlsht-Bvreee-Vwlsht.
-488,400, -488,400.
After finished speaking with them, Yun Beishang turned his head to where the western entrance of the Azure-Drake Forest was, just in time to catch a 4 meters tall Demon creature trying to cleave him down with a small axe when compared to the Demon's body build. Only for Yun Beishang to then take out his Mind-Sensory old pals which transformed from its true body in just a moment; as he cut through the Demon's body.
*PING*...you've successfully killed a LV120 Demon 3 Star Elite grade BOSS, Elite Demon Warrior, as a reward, SP+360 and Fame+360. Main Kingdom Vanguard reputation+10.
And as the now corpse of the Elite Demon Warrior was falling backwards with his chest being torn open from its left and right parts, his eyes were vacantly looking at Yun Beishang with a knowing meaning. A sad and stupid grin plastered onto his face as he slowly came to accept his own death; fruitfully.
[Elite Demon Warrior]: Type: Demon, Grade: 3 Star Elite, LV: 120, HP: 310,800. For the honor and survival, Elite Demon Warriors are the most weaklings amongst the strongest group of remaining Demons in existence, holding even the chance of staying alive for a small amount of buying time.

"Gasp!" Sylda, Yao Yao, and even Cindy who were the nearest by to him gasped at once, with Cindy even giving off grief from her little broken glass, starry black eyes as she saw this scene. But Yun Beishang gave them not the chance to even voice out a single letter as he commanded out loud at his Order.
"Let's go, Maidens and Ladies, I want The Order to rank first in the massacring of Demons. GO!!" As the brand new imperative Yun Beishang opened himself to the eyes of not only the nearby randoms or those players from other Associations or alone and 'NPCs', but also to The Order themselves as it was really the first time he commanded them all.
With his old pals being swung, white lights and bright red glints made appearances so fleeting yet so strikingly beautiful as Yun Beishang took a pose with his right handed Gladius being supported by his right knee and his left handed Gladius right behind his left leg and also pointing at the ground with its thick edge.
"Yes, Master!!"
"..." All Maidens immediately moved on with his orders, while others like Diana, Cinders and so on smiled at him a bit too lightly before then also springing into action. Either by leading, taking part randomly or following some groups of Maidens here and there. As Maidens and Ladies worked together as they started to massacre Demons, they took it easy as they didn't immediately went over to use their big time-skills so as to allow themselves... to get used to the carnage they were making.
"Brother." Yun Yun approached her beloved man with soft steps, as for Zyv, she was already far away tearing apart countless bodies of Demons as she took only a few seconds to kill the weakest of them all. Even though they were 10 levels higher than the MAX LV of any player and as they were 3 Star Elites.
"I'll be here, for whatever you need." Finished saying that, Yun Yun needed not for Yun Beishang to speak as she planted a soft kiss on his left cheek and floated away towards a distant few groups of Maidens that were being encircled by a few dozens of Demons.
It wasn't just them who were fighting, yet they had already killed hundreds of Demons with only less than a minute having gone by, and there weren't that many right away from ever since they stepped onto the ground. It was the same in every other area that players and inhabitants of Main Kingdom were descending from.
Hundreds of Demons were already around, waiting to intercept the incoming enemy, as if they already knew there would be a massive portal utilization right outside the premises of their base. But even as over a million of enemies were coming down from the skies, and as they didn't seem to stop, tens of thousands of Demons went out from the Azure-Drake Forest's countless clustered trees towards the ongoing battlefields.
Whoosh!!
...Bvreee-Vwlsht, Bvreee-Vwlsht, Bvreee-Vwlsht, Bvreee-Vwlsht...
-488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400, -488,400...
Without going too far in his expertly developed mass-murdering skills and capabilities, Yun Beishang dashed forth towards a random angle aimed at the forest and began selectively massacring off different and from which; several types of Demon forces one after the other. His shadow was followed by the inhabitants and Journeyers wherever he went, as he subtly encouraged his people to steel their heart and continue the massacring... this sentiment was truly familiar to himself from the old him.
With his old pals being swept, swung, cleaved against enemies, stabbed, thrust and even used to swat away some corpses or annoying bulky fellows, Yun Beishang's sounds of his Gladiuses was so powerful and speedy but at the same time, ordinary. As every time he made a move with them, it was to kill, and even as the Demons had an overall much better LV, stats and bones as well as skin durability, they made not a single sound as his old pals went through all of them mercilessly and seamlessly.
Notifications began raining on his retinas and even on The Order's PVE battle logs even faster than those from all of any other member of The Order, at the same time, Yun Beishang amazed his allied Associations and 'vassal' Associations as he sent them all the information he gathered from simply giving the entire immense battlefield a glance; of course, with some having priorities.
