Knights of the Digital World

To be honest, Barbamon has absolutely no idea where this Belstarmon came from.

Shakamon was forced to evolve due to the pressure of death it brought, but what's up with your Belstarmon?

Didn't those two LadyDevimons seem to have it easy against the Ultimate Tankdramon? There wasn't even a life-or-death situation, so how did they evolve?!

Barbamon's mentality has truly collapsed.

What can be done once, twice, can certainly be done a third time. The fact that two Ultimate forms with unlimited potential appeared twice in a row left Barbamon both helpless and furious.

He might be able to devise another plan to take down the opposing Belstar Beast.

But he was afraid. What if another Ultimate form suddenly appeared?

There are limits to cunning. No matter how cunning Barbamon is, his power is limited.

If the opposing side can really keep producing Ultimate-level beings with the potential to become top-tier Ultimate-level beings, then no matter how much he schemes, he will be powerless to reverse the situation.

Barbamon felt a headache coming on and looked at the battlefield between Beelzemon and Bancho Mamemon.

If Beelzemon can defeat Bancho Beanmon, then things will be simple.

The two of them, being top-tier ultimate forms, could easily overwhelm the opponent, saving them the trouble of so much scheming.

Unfortunately, the scene Barbamon had hoped for did not occur.

Beelzemon and Bancho Mamemon are both top-tier Ultimate level monsters, and their strengths are not much different.

In the battle, the Fallen Hellbeast managed to gain a slight advantage due to its range.

Thanks to the advantage it had established earlier, even when it later got into a melee with Bancho Mamemon, Beelzemon was not inferior to Bancho Mamemon, who was skilled in this art.

However, the appearance of Belstarmon had previously attracted the attention of Beelzemon.

Anyone would be drawn to someone of the opposite sex who suddenly looks like them. Not to mention, Belstarmon is practically a gender-swapped version of Beelzemon. Besides the similar appearance, the dual pistols they wield are sister guns to Beelzemon's beloved weapon.

Beelzemon have a deep connection with their weapons. At their level, their weapons also possess a kind of sentience. Beelzemon can sense the excitement displayed by its beloved gun, "Eggplant."

All these reasons combined caused Beelzemon to lose focus even when facing a formidable enemy like Bancho-Mamemon.

In that short time, Bancho-DouDoumon seized the opportunity and launched a fierce and aggressive attack. Its Golden Punishment Fist flew up and down, overwhelming Beelzemon.

Now, Beelzemon is on the defensive and can only passively take hits. Hoping he'll step up and turn the tide of the battle is probably out of the question.

Barbamon looked at Darkdramon again, glanced at it twice, then turned away, unable to bear looking at it.

Darkdramon, being rather dim-witted, could only rage helplessly against the agile and high-attack Belstarmon. He was constantly attacked by Belstarmon's bullets, yet he couldn't even touch Belstarmon.

With that dimwitted brain, there's no way he can turn the tide. Now we just have to wait and see when he types "gg".

As for the large-scale battle below, it now appears even more bloody.

Fatigue slowed down the attacks of both sides. However, fatigue also reduced their reaction time.

Many skills that could have been dodged were missed due to mental fatigue or physical exhaustion, resulting in numerous casualties.

The Bean Gate Alliance fared well, with Lotus Beasts coming to the rescue everywhere. Most of the injuries were minor but not fatal, and with proper rest and treatment from Lotus Beasts, they were able to recover.

On the other hand, the Assault Dragon Beast Legion wasn't so lucky. They were a bunch of reckless brutes who only knew how to charge, at best well-trained reckless brutes. Besides fighting, they were only trained by the Barba Beasts to be good at counting valuables; they were utterly incapable of healing.

Therefore, the Assault Dragon Beast Legion mostly consisted of the dead, with very few wounded soldiers—those who were wounded were already dead.

With victory seemingly hopeless, the deaths of these assault dragon beast legions are bleeding the hearts of the Barba beasts.

Barbamon held back for a moment, but then realized he couldn't hold back any longer and finally shouted it out:

"retreat!!!"

Chapter 56, The Belated Bancho Lionmon

"retreat!!!"

Barbamon's voice was filled with resentment and heartache.

His strategy was flawless. If the other side hadn't been playing like they were cheating, constantly having Digimon undergo explosive evolutions, he would have taken down Beangate Town long ago!

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Even if the other side had cheat codes, even if they had Digimon that could evolve, what could Barbamon do?

With the war having progressed to this point, he saw no hope of victory. Barbamon had originally intended to seize an opportunity to steal something. Now that the attempt had failed, Barbamon didn't want to turn the raid into a protracted siege.

Once the battle becomes a protracted struggle, Bancho-chan will continuously receive helpers.

Putting everything else aside, if one or two more of the Fifth Division Chiefs were to arrive, the Barba Beast army would suffer heavy losses.

If the other members of the Fifth Division arrive quickly, the combined forces of the Fifth Division could completely annihilate the Assault Dragon Beast army led by Barbamon.

Even Barbamon itself would probably have to pay a considerable price to break through and escape.

This battle has already been a huge loss; we haven't gained any advantage and have even lost a large number of troops. Those are resources too!

If you continue to stubbornly persist, you will only lose more money; you will never make a profit.

Barba is greedy, but he has his own set of rules. He will only do things that conform to his rules and that he thinks can be profitable, even if it comes at a price.

It's like they received the news and tried to take down Mercurymon. Or maybe they didn't get a chance with Mercurymon, so they tried to take down Beangate instead. It's all based on this reason.

But if it doesn't meet the requirements, he will absolutely not take the risk.

The current situation in Beangate Town, where Ultimate-level monsters keep popping up, is very inconsistent with Barbamon's principles.

Therefore, after briefly weighing the pros and cons, Barba called for a retreat, emphasizing that cutting losses in time was the most important thing.

If he keeps losing money, he won't be able to take it!

The Assault Dragon Beast Legion, having received orders from Barbamon, were as if granted a pardon.

They are not machines, after all, but sentient beings.

Even after undergoing rigorous training and physical modifications, they would not enjoy going to the battlefield.

That's risking your life!

But they were an army, soldiers. They had to obey orders. Without Barba's command, they dared not act rashly.

No matter how dangerous or terrifying it is, you have to grit your teeth and go for it.

But now that His Majesty Barbamon has said to retreat, why don't we hurry up and run?

Fortunately, the Dragon Beast Legion was well-trained and maintained a certain formation during the retreat to prevent the Bean Gate Alliance from pursuing them, thus withdrawing from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

The Bean Gate Alliance originally planned to give chase, but seeing that the Assault Dragon Beast Legion had not abandoned its formation, they gave up the pursuit.

They're exhausted. If the enemy wasn't on guard, they could have chased after them and gotten a few kills in the chaos. But now the enemy is clearly on guard, so going out would just be suicide. They should stay in the city and rest.

The halo around Shakamon dissipated, and she felt somewhat weak. Influencing so many Digimon had overexerted her energy.

Darkdramon lived up to its reputation as a fool; after hearing Barbamon's retreat shouts, it endured several shots from Parad, even losing its right arm.

He didn't care at all, grabbed his right arm and happily ran back to the legion, retreating with them.

Barba's eyes twitched: How many resources and wealth would it take to repair this?!

You might as well die outside!

You silly goose, I'm definitely not taking you next time!

The changes on the main battlefield also affected Beelzemon and Bancho Mamemon.

The two also heard Barbamon shout to retreat. Seeing that the Assault Dragon Beast army was beginning to withdraw, the two had no reason to continue fighting.

The leader, Bean Beast, returned to the city wall of Bean Gate Town. The wall was now badly damaged by artillery fire and clearly needed major repairs.

The leader, Beanmon, was also covered in wounds, his school uniform riddled with bullet holes, and his left hand hung limply at his sides. But he didn't seem to care, laughing heartily as he said:

"Barbamon, why did you stop fighting? Do you think my Bean Gate Alliance can play with you like this all day long!"

Behind him, the Digimon of the Bean Gate Alliance roused themselves and roared in unison to cheer on Bancho Beanmon.

Regardless of whether they can still fight or not, the boss has already made a big boast, so they absolutely cannot lose face!

Barbamon has now recovered from its earlier heartache, and its disgusting smile has returned to its face:

"Chief Beanmon, you've misunderstood. I was just joking. I still sincerely want to be your ally. You've seen my power, so why don't you reconsider?"

"wishful thinking!"

Bancho-mon gave Barbamon a brief refusal. He wasn't really interested in talking to Barbamon. Barbamon's shamelessness was simply beyond his capabilities.

Beelzemon couldn't stand Barbamon's shamelessness either. He shook his head and shouted at Bancho-Mamemon:

"This fight wasn't satisfying enough. Too many things affected the battle. I'll come back and fight you again next time."

After saying that, he took another deep look at Parad behind Bancho-chan, then summoned his beloved vehicle Behemoth and drove away amidst the roar of the motorcycle.

Seeing that Beelzemon had left and that his army had almost all withdrawn, Barbamon didn't want to provoke Bancho Mamemon any further.

He had already offended the Boss Beanmon with this surprise attack, so there was no point in provoking him further.

So, Barbamon waved its scepter at Bancho-Tottomon, said no more, and left.

After a while, once the Assault Dragon Beast Legion had completely withdrawn from the battlefield and could no longer be seen from the city walls, the Digimon of Beangate Town finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheered, celebrating their victory.

"Wow! We won!!!"

Of course, some people were silently weeping because of the deaths of their loved ones. However, thanks to Lotusmon's efforts, most of the Digimon in the Bean Gate Alliance survived. Therefore, the overall atmosphere was not particularly somber.

"What? The war is over already? No way? That's it???"

Of course, please be sure to ignore Wukong Beast's shouts.

Bancho-DouDoumon relaxed considerably and refused Lotusmon's treatment. Lotusmon was also severely weakened after the battle.

Although the leader of the bean-bean beast looked miserable, he was actually not seriously injured and would recover after a period of rest.

Suddenly, the leader of the gang, Beanmon, frowned, raised his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone be careful, I sense several powerful digital spirits!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Bean Gate Alliance tensed up again.

Could it be that another Ultimate-level Digimon has arrived?

What is their purpose?

Filled with many questions, the people of Doumen Town saw several black dots appear on the horizon, gradually growing larger.

Yongmeng had regained her mobility and was leaning against the city wall, frowning and nervously watching the black dots on the horizon.
