Bai Ye's deductions were accurate.
Or rather, the experience gained from his past life's memories allowed Bai Ye to easily grasp the patterns of the missions, even though he had never been to the Monster Country in his previous life.
An hour later, the lizardman army arrived!
Simultaneously, with the arrival of the lizardmen, the Fangwolf tribe and the Goblin tribe also arrived on the battlefield.
The pigman army finally moved.
Standing on a small hill and looking down, one could see two black torrents of steel armor colliding fiercely.
And then…
Like a meat grinder, limbs and severed arms flew!
The bloody slaughter began!
Bai Ye did not intervene, but stood on the hill watching, feeling like he was watching an epic blockbuster.
He thought about the film production in his world, where thousands of people could be gathered to shoot a grand battle, which had once thrilled him immensely.
But then, he looked at the scene before him!
The atmosphere created by hundreds or thousands of people was vastly different from a real war. The feeling of seeing nothing but slaughter everywhere was truly soul-stirring.
This was a true epic masterpiece!
"Kill!"
Someone, he didn't know who, shouted first and charged towards the pigman army. Immediately after, the chosen ones began to join the battle.
When one experienced enough tasks, one would inevitably be able to discern some patterns.
For example, the current Mission Three for most of the chosen ones was like this.
Mission Three also had a time limit.
And the time limit was relatively easy to deduce.
The time limit for Mission Two was the arrival time of the Monster Country's army on the battlefield. As for the time limit for Mission Three? It was simple: Rimuru and his trusted subordinates, the Oni, had not yet participated, nor had the Pig King appeared. When these two main figures showed up, it would signify the end of Mission Three's time limit.
The chosen ones were not the protagonists of this war, but merely participants!
If it were otherwise, the forbidden zone of the Jura Great Forest would have been activated.
Of course, the chosen ones at their current level would not be able to handle such a situation. The Jura Great Forest area had a very high level of power, and it could constantly improve.
Jiemasi glanced at Bai Ye, who remained still, and asked curiously, "Bai Ye, aren't you going?"
"No rush," Bai Ye replied. "Entering the battlefield now is not enough killing."
Jiemasi was puzzled. "Hmm?"
Bai Ye elaborated, "Pigmen need to devour to grow stronger. Are you sure there are enough Pigman Generals and Pigman Elites for us to kill right now?"
Jiemasi exclaimed, "I see. Then I'll wait a bit longer."
Bai Ye smirked.
Bai Ye found Jiemasi to be quite an interesting person, very willing to listen to his opinions and follow his lead.
Jiemasi had his own theory for this.
Bai Ye was the first to arrive in the Monster Country, which indicated that Bai Ye was stronger than everyone else. In fact, Bai Ye was also the first to arrive at the plains battlefield, which further proved the point that Bai Ye was stronger than everyone else.
Therefore, when he was unsure about his decision, why not follow the choices of the strongest person?
Jiemasi felt that he had mastered the art of choosing sides, reaching a state of perfection.
However…
"I was just saying that casually," Bai Ye said to Jiemasi. "My mission is different from yours!"
Jiemasi froze instantly, looking utterly bewildered. "Nani?"
Bai Ye explained, "Perhaps it's a perk for being the first to arrive in the Monster Country. My Mission Three is not to hunt Pigman Elites and Pigman Generals."
Jiemasi almost spat out a mouthful of blood, sighing, "Then you should have said so earlier."
"You didn't ask," Bai Ye countered.
"Damn it!"
Jiemasi cursed and then rushed down the mountain in a hurry.
Their missions were different, so why would he ask Bai Ye's opinion? It was nonsensical!
Bai Ye sighed, "Why are you running so fast? Although our missions are different, the logic is still the same. If you go down now, how can you expect to find so many Pigman Elites and Pigman Generals to kill!"
Fortunately, Jiemasi did not hear this, or he would have spat out another mouthful of blood all over the ground.
However, even though the mission had nothing to do with Bai Ye, he still stared intently at the battlefield. The appearance of the demon Krumit was indeed related to him.
Meanwhile…
…
Li Jiayi was also standing on a large tree at the edge of the forest, gazing towards the battlefield.
Suddenly, Li Jiayi sensed something and raised his hand in a cupping gesture to his ear.
"Hello, how is it over there in the forest?"
A voice from the other end replied, "Krumit and a clown, likely the ones we've been tracking, subordinates of that Demon King, encountered a Dryad in the forest."
Li Jiayi chuckled, "The forest manager of the Jura Great Forest? That being should be a powerful individual, second only to Rimuru."
"Yes, very powerful," the voice from the other end said. "Do you need me to intervene?"
Li Jiayi replied, "No need."
"No intervention? If Krumit dies, our hidden quest to track the Demon King will definitely fail. Currently, Krumit is the only one we have found with a connection to the Demon King."
"Don't worry, Krumit won't die," Li Jiayi stated. "I see Bai Ye."
"Damn it, him again? Is there no end to this guy? He always shows up to mess things up. Let's find a way to get rid of him."
"If it were possible, I would have acted against him already. While we possess the ability to kill him, doing so would come at a terrible price, making it not worth it."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Didn't I say I saw him?" Li Jiayi patted his forehead, worried about the other person's intelligence, and then explained, "Last time, Krumit wanted the leader of the Lizardmen to evolve into a demon like the Pig King, hoping that the Lizardman named Gavel could also evolve into a Demon King. But Bai Ye disrupted it. From this, it can be inferred that Bai Ye's mission is likely the opposite of ours, probably to assist the Monster Country and prevent the birth of a Demon King. Given this, what does his presence on the battlefield signify?"
The other party asked in confusion, "Signify what?"
Li Jiayi was truly exasperated. Such dullness was a skill in itself. Had he not made himself clear enough?
"Since Bai Ye is on the battlefield, it means his mission objective is on the battlefield. If Krumit were to be killed by the Dryad in the forest, where would the subsequent events lead? Bai Ye's mission would have no possibility of completion. However, with missions, as long as they are triggered, there must be a possibility of completion. Therefore, by deduction, Krumit will definitely not die, and he will definitely head to the battlefield!"
"Ah? You're right!" The voice exclaimed in surprise. "Krumit and that subordinate of the Demon King have escaped."
