Every time the War God Bio took a step forward, there would be some Ter soldiers who couldn't dodge in time being stepped on. Bright red, steaming blood immediately seeped out from the cracks. The moment this huge foot of soil and gravel was lifted, a huge pit appeared on the grassland. Inside it was a flat gray-black corpse and full of blood. The blazing flames on the surface of the War God Bio would roll down from its body whenever it raised its hands and feet, burning the bodies of the soldiers beneath it. In an instant, the water contained in them was absorbed, leaving behind a dry, charred body that was emitting gray smoke.
Under this kind of slaughter, the instinctive fear hidden in the deepest part of the human heart finally erupted. Whether it was the Ter people who were experiencing the horror of the War God's Bio or the Yarsi people who witnessed the chaotic battlefield, they were all deeply shocked by this scene.
This was not something that human strength could resist. Even though the commander of the Ter Army had given the order to retreat in time, the screams of the soldiers before their deaths continued to spread to the sky. The casualties of the Ter Army were also rapidly increasing.
Looking at the battlefield in front of him, the corpses that were constantly grabbed by the War God Bio and thrown far away, smelling the bloody smell and a strange meat fragrance that drifted from the battlefield, listening to the continuous miserable screams, and the soldiers who were frantically running but could not escape, Windshadow Kuang suddenly realized that a strange feeling of satisfaction had appeared in his heart.
Indeed, it was comfortable. He could not explain this feeling, but the comfort that filled his body and mind was clearly transmitted to his brain through the nerve endings. At this moment, he even felt a brief sense of suffocation. It was a wonderful feeling…
Max looked bitterly at the soldiers who kept flying and falling. An indescribable sense of depression filled his entire soul. He never dreamed that such a situation would happen.
Under the command of the few mages of the Ter people, countless spells were launched at the War God's Bio that was getting closer and closer to him. However, all the magic attacks were devoured the moment they came into contact with the layer of flames, not leaving even a trace behind. The large-scale offensive spells cast by the mages would cause the mud giant to pause for a moment, but after the mages cast the spells, they would also faint on the ground. The attack was like a drop in the bucket, unable to cause any damage to the huge creature in front of him.
At no time had Max wanted a powerful magic army more than he did now, and he knew that it was unrealistic. However, the thought of commanding the infantrymen to attack had never appeared in his mind. He knew very well that the immense pressure and fear was not something that a human could endure, not even him.
Max did not bring any cavalry with him for this probing attack, and he did not have many cavalry to bring. Other than the 20,000 cavalrymen who stayed in the main tent to prevent any accidents, the rest had set off for the plan he had formulated to seize the Kuge Prairie. Moreover, he knew that even if he had a large number of cavalry, they would not be able to do anything to the monster that looked like a demon god. He could clearly feel the high temperature emitted by the flames on the monster's body.
The feeling of despair was not good for anyone, let alone a famous general. This was definitely a huge blow to him…
Turning his horse around weakly, Max said to the other generals beside him,""Let's go. We have no hope. It's not something that human strength can resist. We have also won enough time and space for the cavalry. The rest will depend on God's will.”
Hearing the commander's bleak words, the generals lowered their heads in shame, and a stifling silence appeared in the air.
"Your Highness, let me bring my brothers to give it a try!”The captain of the guards beside Max suddenly blocked his way. His eyes were filled with determination and determination as he looked at the only prince of the Tell Empire.
"Hmm?" "Try what?" Max asked.”
"Your Highness, let me bring my brothers to give it a try! We all have horses, and our equipment is much better than the infantry. These 5,000 brothers were personally trained by you. Let us give it a try. We won't let Your Highness down!”
"Nonsense!" After understanding what the captain meant, Max shouted loudly," There are only 5,000 cavalrymen here. What can you do to stop that thing?!"”Max pointed at the Ares Bio Suit and raised his voice." So what if the equipment is good! So what if I personally trained him! No matter how strong you are, you are still humans!”
The meaning behind Max's words was very clear. No matter how powerful a person was, they could not compete with the Demon God. In his heart, to be able to cast such a terrifying spell!! If the Ares Bio Equipment could still be considered pure magic!! He had never seen such a powerful archmage in any historical records. In that case, his cultivation base could only be close to that of a god, the " leader of war." It was this speculation that made Max decide to retreat before the soldiers for the first time.
"But, Your Highness, this is our best chance to defeat that person and seize the prairie! If we wait for the reinforcements of the Yarsi to arrive, our chances will be very small!”The captain of the personal guards was extremely anxious, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal. However, he had forgotten that he was facing the highest ranking officer directly under him, the only prince of the Tell Empire.
"Viscount Lear, please mind your words! You're bewitching the morale of the army! The powerful Tell Empire will not fail. We are only retreating temporarily. The Kuge Plains, the land under our feet, can only belong to us, the people of Teer!”Max stared at his captain angrily." I don't need your rash impulse. You don't have to use force to defeat the enemy.”
Under the prince's gaze, Lear lowered his head and replied respectfully,""Yes, Your Highness. I will remember every word you say.”
Seeing Lear admit his mistake, Max softened his expression and said softly,""Li Er, I know you're still angry about what happened last time. You can't accept the fact that Feng Yingkuang broke through your defensive formation alone and then returned. But now was not the time to hold grudges. This was a battlefield, and war did not allow soldiers to be emotional during battle. Every decision made by a commander on the battlefield affects the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. I hope you can remember this! I don't want you to die in vain. I still need you in the future battles!”
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness! Your subordinate will remember every word of His Highness!”
Nodding, Max adjusted the direction of the horse." Alright, let's go." Sigh…I wonder how many people will be able to return alive this time…"
After this conversation, the originally oppressive silence improved. The generals looked at the battlefield in front of them reluctantly and turned their horses around, preparing to retreat back to the camp. The outcome of the war could no longer be changed. These famous generals who dominated the battlefield were as powerless as ordinary soldiers when faced with inhuman power.
"Heavens! What was that? Guards, protect His Highness!"
A voice filled with horror caused everyone who was about to leave to stop. They turned around and cast their gazes back on the battlefield where the War God Bio was wreaking havoc.
The humanoid figure with dark red flames on its body shuttled back and forth on the battlefield, moving bit by bit towards the commander of the Ter army. Wherever it passed, limbs and blood were thrown into the sky. Large numbers of Ter soldiers lost their lives in an instant and were cruelly dismembered. Following the deaths of the Ter soldiers who couldn't dodge in time, even more of the soldiers fled in all directions.
When there was an empty space around him, the burning figure quickly grabbed the few soldiers closest to him and threw them high into the sky. Then, it suddenly followed the burning Ter Infantry into the sky. They grabbed the bodies that were struggling in the air and forcefully tore their limbs off. The scene was extremely bloody and tragic.
With a rain of blood, the human figure smashed into the ground. The dark red flames scattered on its body splashed out. Anyone who was hit by these flames would be turned into dust in an extremely short period of time, turning into ashes.
If the Ares Bio was a powerful " human " with the same power as a god, then this humanoid figure with dark red flames was undoubtedly a crazy and cruel bloodthirsty demon in the eyes of the soldiers of Ter.
Boom!
A sudden explosion sounded in Feng Yingkuang's ears. When he woke up, he realized that he had used extremely cruel methods to slaughter the retreating soldiers on the battlefield. What made him even more surprised was that he actually couldn't control his body. He tried his best to stop his hands, but they continued to create death and dismembered corpses. In his heart, Feng Yingkuang clearly felt an incomparably carefree and comfortable feeling.
Boom!
Another violent explosion sounded. The feeling of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking made Wind Shadow Kuang feel dizzy. His vision began to become blurry, and finally, the world before him fell into darkness...
After an unknown period of time, Feng Yingkuang woke up from the darkness. The last scene in his memory was him ordering all the soldiers to guard the garrison fortress and then charging out alone. However, he couldn't recall what happened in between. He knew that the temporary memory loss was happening to him again.
Suddenly, Feng Yingkuang realized that he was still on the battlefield. This was definitely not the place to think about these questions. However, when he was about to return to the garrison fortress, he found that he was floating in the air. Right below him, another Windshadow Kuang continued his bloody and crazy slaughter.
A cold feeling spread from his back to his entire body. He could not understand his current situation. He desperately drove the implanted chip in his mind, but there was no feedback. Despair slowly grew in his heart.
Feng Yingkuang, who was floating in the air, was struggling with all his might as he waved his hands and feet. He could even feel drops of cold sweat flowing down his cheeks. He used all his strength to shout, but no one responded. He finally understood that no one could see him at this moment. Fear. Boundless fear was like a demon slowly gnawing at his despairing heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Countless explosions suddenly reverberated in Windshadow Kuang's mind, and countless scenes that he had experienced replayed in front of him like a movie.
Feng Yingkuang once again fainted in an indescribable realization.
At this moment, the crazy Windshadow fell to the ground without any warning. Even the flames on his body began to gradually extinguish...
No one was willing to get close to this bloodthirsty demon. The surviving soldiers quickly fled in all directions. Max, who was temporarily relieved of the threat, led the generals around him and quickly retreated to the camp under the protection of the personal guards. He could only pray that the failure of this war would not have a fatal impact on his entire plan.
Tens of thousands of charred corpses and countless broken limbs were left behind by the fleeing Tyr people. The green grass was dyed dark red by the blood, and the remaining snow on the ground was evaporated by the temperature of the blood. The only thing left on the battlefield was the War God Bio that had left a deep impression on both the Tyr people and the Yarsi people. It let out a silent roar towards the sky, showing the world who had won this war.
In a certain corner of the battlefield, Feng Yingkuang was still unconscious after his madness…
On the Rostocker Continent, the main range of human activity was limited to the eastern part of the continent. Most of the terrain here was flat and highlands. Even if there were a few mountain forests, they were about 2,000 meters above sea level. The land here could be considered the most fertile and most suitable place for planting on the continent. If humans wanted to survive, they could not do so without food. It was precisely because of this that the eastern part of the continent was the place with the most frequent wars.
It was not until 1,200 years ago that the largest human empire in history appeared here. The entire empire's territory even covered more than half of the continent. Even the rugged and deep mountains in the south of the continent or the extremely bitter and cold lands in the north of the continent were planted with the flag of this huge empire. It was only then that the human world, which had experienced hundreds of years of war, finally showed a peaceful scene.
Like all countries in history, they would split up after a long time, and they would unite after a long time. This was the fate of history that no one could escape. In this Holy Empire, this fate had come 400 years after its establishment.
From then on, the entire Eastern Continent had formed the current situation. The Ter Empire, the Arthurs Empire, the Iz Empire, and the Byron Empire. The four powerful empires divided up almost the entire eastern continent. Other than the small duchies that struggled to survive in the cracks, the human world had a situation where the top four were evenly matched. Although each of the four empires had the strength and ambition to unify the continent, none of the four empires, who were restraining each other, expressed such an intention first.
This situation lasted until the year 7322 of the Rostocker Calendar. In order to alleviate the various crises caused by the famine in the country, the Arthurs Empire occupied more than 30 small duchies at lightning speed. Then, with a thunderous power, they took back the Kug Prairie that had been lost for 500 years and severely injured the Ter Empire. After that, the Rostocker Continent, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was once again in turmoil.
Naturally, all of this was deliberately arranged in the dark. For ordinary civilians, life was actually no different.
This was the source of the direct conflict between the two empires!! The Krug Prairie did not change at all because of the change in master. The only city here, Krug, was still a bustling commercial center.
The geographical location of the Krug Prairie was very strange. It not only connected the Tell Empire and the Arthurs Empire, but it was also the only flat road between the two empires. The territory near the southeast of the Krug Prairie was adjacent to the Byron Empire. Before last year, it was still dependent on two small duchies, but now it was the territory of the Arthurs Empire.
In the southwest of the Kug Prairie was the only place where the orcs lived on this continent. It was the Great Swamp of the West, known as the Land of Death. Its unique geographical location not only made it a famous commercial center on the continent, but also gave it a defense system that was different from other places.
Although the Krug Prairie was now an administrative province of the Arthurs Empire, the King of Arthurs, Shivut Arthurs, had given the entire Prairie to Windshadow Mad in order to win him over. Feng Yingkuang was not a person who cared much about these things. He did not even know how to manage his fief. When he first asked King Arthur for this fief, it was just to increase his bargaining chip to survive here. Therefore, the entire Kuge Prairie still used the old management and defense mode.
There were dozens of nomadic tribes scattered across the Kug Prairie. These people had their own areas of activity. They often had disputes over the size of their territory and then escalated into wars, but they did not threaten others. Sometimes, these tribes would even act as guards for merchants from all over the world in exchange for the items they needed. It could be said that these tribes were still living in the most primitive era of bartering. Therefore, neither the Tyr people nor the Arthurs would deliberately manage these nomadic tribes. Instead, they would let them live alone, provided that they did not threaten their rule over the Kug Prairie.
It was also because of the existence of these dozens of nomadic tribes that there were no other border guards in the entire Kuge Prairie other than the city guards in Kuge City. In other words, anyone from neighboring countries who wanted to enter the Great Prairie would not encounter any checks. For the merchants who pursued the greatest benefits, this meant that they would not have to pay expensive customs duties for this. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation. Therefore, it was reasonable for Kuge City to become a prosperous commercial center.
However, it was precisely these peculiar management and defense modes that made Kuge City particularly important. Occupying Krug City was equivalent to occupying the Krug Prairies and possessing the inexhaustible wealth of the prairies. Although this understanding was not completely correct, after the Arthurs took back the Kuge Prairie, the Arthurs and the Ter people all thought so.
However, perhaps they would never guess that in the hearts of the nomadic tribes that they did not take a fancy to or even ignored, only the person who had the Goshawk Seal forged by their ancestors was the real King Kuge.
"Hehe, I say, Old Locke, what made you laugh so happily? Did you think of your little wife? I see that you've brought quite a lot of things this time. Hehe, I'm going to buy some good things to please her and let her give birth to a few more sons for you, right?”A young man dressed like a hunter was riding on a horse, teasing a bearded middle-aged man who was driving a carriage beside him.
"Hahaha! I say, can Old Locke do it? Why don't I go and help you?"
The young hunter's words made more than a dozen people of similar age laugh. Most of them were dressed in light purses and longbows. Only three of them were wearing swordsmen's chest armor. On their mounts, there were animal furs of various sizes and some marinated jerky.
Old Locke chuckled in the face of everyone's jokes. He turned his head to look at the young hunter beside him and shook his head helplessly. He sank his mind into his own world again.
In fact, these young people were right. Old Locke had brought almost everything that his family had accumulated in the past six months. He really wanted to sell them in Kuge City for a good price and then buy a few beautiful ornaments for his wife who had just married for three months. He wanted to win her favor.
Old Rock was almost forty years old today. Although he was recognized as the best hunter in the village, he had always been in the forest. He was extremely introverted and had never thought of starting a family. If he hadn't saved the village chief's family three months ago, they wouldn't have betrothed their daughter to him. He would definitely still be single now.
"I say, Old Locke, we've already been gone for two days. When will we arrive? Didn't you say it was very close?" A horse caught up from behind and followed beside Old Locke's carriage. The person on the horse asked impatiently.
"Yes, yes! When will they arrive?" The young hunter who teased Old Rock also echoed," If you didn't put that... Krug City, yes, Krug City. If you didn't say it so well, I wouldn't have come out. It was so comfortable to stay at home! We've been walking in this forest for two days. When will we arrive?”
"Sean, you were the one who shouted to come out. Young people these days just can't stand hardship. Think about how powerful your father was back then!”Old Locke shook his head regretfully. His tone was somewhat disdainful of this young hunter called Shawn.
"Who says I can't endure hardship? Who said I was afraid? I'm just annoyed! You said that the scenery along the way was beautiful, but why didn't I see it? I kept walking around in this forest!”
"Alright, alright. I say, stop arguing. Old Locke, tell me how long it will take for us to arrive!”
Old Locke glanced at Shawn in disdain, lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying,""According to our current speed, we will reach the border of the Kuge Prairie in about one and a half days. If we are fast, we will need to run for about five to six days. If we are slow, we will need about ten days to reach. Where do you think we're going, Bury? We're going to another country now. It's not that easy to get there!”
Old Locke and his group lived in a small village at the border of the Byron Empire. The entire village had only a few hundred people and was extremely remote. Not far away from this small village was the Western Swamp, which was difficult for birds to cross. A long mountain range cut off the connection between the village and the outside world. The name of this village couldn't even be found in the records of the Byron Empire.
It was unknown when the villagers found a difficult path leading to the outside of the mountain. It only took less than five days to walk from the Kug Prairie. From then on, the villagers tried to bring the animal fur and some unique items produced in the swamp to the Kug Prairie to trade with the nomadic tribes for their daily necessities. As time passed, the people who went out of the village discovered Krug City. From then on, the village slowly began to come into contact with the outside world.
Barry shook his head angrily and rushed out. His voice came from afar," I'll go take a look. It's too boring to walk slowly like this!"”
Pouting his lips, Old Locke continued to concentrate on driving the horses. The cart behind him was filled with his harvest from the past six months. He had no choice but to be careful.
The young Shawn couldn't stay idle for even a moment. He pulled Old Locke and said," Old Locke, when did you first take this path?”
"First time?" Hearing Shay's question, Old Locke seemed to recall the scene of his high spirits in the past. A faint blush and a proud smile appeared on his tanned face." Didn't your father tell you? After walking alone, he would bring back a specific item from Kruger City, which was part of the coming-of-age ceremony. Every man in the village must complete this task when he is 22 years old.”Old Locke glanced at Shawn and continued,""As for me, I first took this path when I was 22 years old. At that time, my father asked me to bring back an Arthur Flower to complete my coming-of-age ceremony. Sigh…that time was really…"
Looking at Old Locke who kept shaking his head and sighing, Shay's impatient temper rose again." What happened then? Tell me!"
Old Locke looked at Shawn with dissatisfaction, as if blaming him." At that time…"
"Ah!"
A terrified scream interrupted Old Locke's words.
Then, Barry's frightened voice came from the forest." Old Locke! Sean! Come over quickly!"
Without any time to think, more than a dozen people urged their horses, took out their weapons, and quickly rushed over. Old Locke also desperately drove the carriage to follow closely behind them.
"Heavens! This, this is…"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shay subconsciously muttered to himself. However, the moment Shay opened his mouth, the bloody smell that rushed into the sky immediately entered his nose and mouth, making him bend down and vomit.
Before him, his companions had already vomited. Only Old Locke was looking at the situation with a pale face.
The blood on the ground had already coagulated into a dark red color, and under the sunlight, it flashed with strange spots. Countless mutilated corpses were scattered on the ground. There were people, horses, and even carnivorous animals. White bones were exposed on the gnawed corpses, and the weapons soaked in blood were shining with a black light. The tattered flag was stuck diagonally into the ground. Surrounding it were protruding broken limbs and wide-eyed heads.
There was a tragic war here not long ago…
"Hurry up! Go and see if anyone survived!”Old Rock was the first to react. He jumped off the carriage and ran to the battlefield covered in corpses.
Under Old Locke's call, everyone calmed down and slowly searched for survivors among the corpses. This group of simple villagers did not even show the slightest hesitation. In their opinion, no matter who it was, life was the most important.
The corpses spread all the way into the forest. At the edge of the forest, the burnt trees made a sound in the breeze. The deeper they went into the forest, the more broken trees fell on the ground, slowing down the search.
"Come and help me! There's still one alive here!"
A voice came from the forest into the ears of the group of hunters. Having spent their childhood in the forest, they quickly determined their location and gathered over.
The first hunter who was found was about 20 years old. He let the injured person lean on him and carefully fed him the spring water. Half of his body was under the fallen tree.
Old Locke quietly looked at the soldier who swallowed the spring water with difficulty and nodded." There should be no problem. Let me ask him."”
"Brother, what's your name? How can we help you?”Old Rock approached the injured soldier and asked gently.
He glanced at Old Locke and hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether this person in front of him was trustworthy, but in the end, he still spoke. After all, he had no other choice but to take a gamble. " Go…Go to Kug, Kug Prairie…Tell Lord Windshadow, Orcs…Orcs…"
His voice stopped abruptly, and the relaxation after extreme fatigue made him faint.
"Old Locke, what should we do?"
After pondering for a while, Old Locke made a decision." Take this person and go find the Windshadow Maniac he mentioned. He just mentioned the orcs…We must bring this news to him!”
As Old Locke and his men carefully pulled the injured soldier out from under the tree and carried him onto the carriage, the 17th legion, thousands of miles away, finally arrived with the first batch of reinforcements sent by the Arthurs Empire. These two legions were transferred from the eastern border army, and the one appointed by King Arthur as the commander of the battlefield was General Joseph.
Today was the 16th day since Feng Yingkuang arrived at the Kuge Prairie, which was also the 6th day after he won the probing war. Feng Yingkuang himself was still unconscious.#
