As time passed, the number of ghost soldiers increased, gradually stabilizing the situation.
Lilya and the others who were watching from a distance, apart from Liran Day, were all amazed. What a powerful ability it was to summon ghost soldiers and assimilate enemies by killing them. This ability was simply incredible.
The individual combat capabilities of these ghost soldiers were not low. Each one was comparable to a higher-ranked mage. If they encountered a slightly weaker team, they could easily be assimilated. And the number of ghost soldiers would only increase, making it impossible to kill them all.
"No wonder the Imperial Master of the Weeping Boat and Moon Empire dared to say such words. So, this is the ability of the Devil of Death, Ghost Citadel, to summon ghost soldiers, kill and assimilate enemies, and retain all their abilities from when they were alive," Liran Day explained.
"If that's the case, then assimilating a stronger being would be unbeatable, right?" Lilya asked.
"Controlling the assimilated ghost soldiers requires the consumption of Sequence Power, and the more you control, the more power is consumed. For example, if these ghost soldiers wanted to assimilate you, do you think they have the ability to kill and assimilate you? In your eyes, these ghost soldiers are just stones that can easily be crushed by me," Liran Day said with a faint smile.
"I see," Lilya nodded. She needed more information about demons in order to quickly grasp countermeasures.
Iris watched as the number of ghost soldiers increased, sighed and said, "I told you to chase me, now you know how powerful the ghost soldiers are, hmph."
The arrogant expression on Iris's face became even stronger, and she felt extremely pleased.
"Queen of the Blood, you are too arrogant," General Wenyang angrily scolded.
Iris looked at him with confusion, "Queen of the Blood? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Wenyang coldly snorted, "Don't play dumb. You, with a height of one meter and five, silver hair, and crimson eyes. Do you dare to say you are not the Queen of the Blood?"
Iris's face changed slightly. She was trying to shift the blame to Lilya.
There was no way around it. Iris looked exactly like Lilya. The only difference was the teardrop mole at the corner of their eyes. If you didn't look closely, the two of them were indistinguishable.
Wenyang swung the blades in his hands, instantly knocking down several ghost soldiers on both sides, and then continued to attack Iris.
Iris quickly dodged Wenyang's attack, but was kicked and sent flying, falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Lifu quickly leaped up, blocking Iris with his black spear, blocking all of Wenyang's attacks, and then thrusting his spear at him, sending him flying several meters away and crashing into the ground. Wenyang coughed nonstop.
"Your Majesty, please try not to wander around and keep a low profile as much as possible," Lifu said worriedly to Iris.
Being reminded like this, Iris felt embarrassed and quickly stood up, saying, "I apologize for causing you trouble."
"No worries, Your Majesty can stay by my side," Lifu shook his head.
"Okay."
"Who are you to dare to stop us? You are seeking death," Wenyang got up from the ground and glared angrily at Lifu. "You've already chosen the path of death, aren't you afraid that I will crush your bones and turn them to ashes?"
"I suggest you better take your soldiers and leave, otherwise you will die even more miserably," Lifu replied coldly.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..." Upon hearing Lifu's words, Wenyang burst into laughter. "I'm curious to see how you will make me die."
After saying that, Wenyang charged at Lifu again.
Lifu's eyes flickered with cold light. Without hesitation, he jumped up and his spear instantly grew larger, stabbing at Wenyang's throat.
Wenyang didn't expect that the woman in front of him would launch a surprise attack. For a moment, he couldn't react and was pierced through the neck by the spear.
"Pfft!" Wenyang widened his eyes, looking at Lifu in disbelief.
Unwillingly, he fell to the ground, leaving this world forever.
With just one move, Wenyang died, and he died in a very miserable state.
Upon Wenyang's death, the soldiers behind him retreated one after another, not daring to approach.
The news of General Wenyang's death spread quickly, and the demonic soldiers who learned of the news dared not resist anymore and turned to flee.
"That woman is so powerful? She killed General Wenyang with just one move," a Shadow Guard said in shock."She is a demon hunter, with the ability to see weaknesses and kill with one strike. Her gun is dangerous, as even a scratch from it will cause continuous bleeding until death," Liran Day reminded.
The Shadow Guard nodded in understanding.
...
At this moment, Grom and his group were being pushed back by the joint forces of the Winged Ones and the Insect Clan. They were on the verge of defeat, and even Grom's face showed a hint of desperation.
Although Grom was powerful, there were too many enemy forces. The Winged General and the Insect Mother were both equally strong, making it almost impossible for him to win.
"Galar, take the remaining soldiers and escape. You might have a chance at survival. If we continue, we will all be killed," Grom said to Galar.
"But we can't just leave you behind," Galar's face was filled with pain.
"I told you to escape, so escape! Stop wasting time! You don't have any fighting power anyway, so don't get in the way!" Grom shouted angrily.
Galar was taken aback by the words, but then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you must come back alive."
"Don't worry!" Grom nodded, raising his sword above his head and shouting, "Brothers, charge with me!"
With that, Grom led the charge, trying to overwhelm the enemy with their combined strength.
Meanwhile, Galar led a group of soldiers to escape.
"Hmph, they don't know their own limits!" The Insect Mother sneered, whipping her long whip at the front-line soldiers.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
The whip was so fast that it knocked down more than a dozen beast tribe soldiers in an instant. They were sent flying tens of meters away, lying on the ground in pain, with the ground stained red with blood.
“Indeed, you are worthy of being the Insect Mother. Your strength is impressive. Let me test you,” a wolf deputy general charged forward from behind, directly blocking the Insect Mother.
Seeing this, the Insect Mother sneered, brandishing her whip and directly engaging with the deputy general in combat.
The wolf deputy general had rich combat experience and sharp claws. Every strike drew blood, making it impossible for the Insect Mother to get close.
"Insects are just insects, obediently die!" The wolf deputy general grinned.
"Is that so?" The Insect Mother's mouth curved into a sneer.
In an instant, the Insect Mother's body flickered and suddenly transformed into a huge insect shell, blocking the deputy general's attacks. Then, the Insect Mother's body suddenly grew to more than ten zhangs in size. She swung her long tail, sending the wolf deputy general flying, and harshly crashing to the ground, shattered and covered in blood.
"Are the orc warriors of the Divine and Demon Continent so weak?" The Insect Mother mocked disdainfully.
"There's no need to continue fighting these orc warriors. Attack with the entire army, leave no one alive!" The Winged General, Yiqu, ordered.
Along the way, countless beast tribe soldiers were killed and injured. Their bodies scattered across the vast yellow plains, and for a while, the blood converged into a river, permeating the air with a bloody smell that sent shivers down the spine.
In the end, Grom fell in battle!
Upon seeing Grom's death, Galar and the other soldiers were filled with grief. Galar knew that his brother had sacrificed his own life to ensure his survival.
Galar immediately ordered a retreat, and the soldiers ran towards the passage. But in his heart, he made a silent vow that they would repay this debt a hundredfold.
Yiqu initially wanted to pursue, but seeing that the demonic soldiers were scattering, he summoned a demonic soldier and asked, "What's going on with your demonic clan?"
Upon realizing that they were allies, the demonic soldier immediately answered, "Queen of the Blood in the Divine and Demon Continent is very strong, and her subordinates are even stronger. We are no match for them, and the general has already been killed by them."
Upon hearing the news of General Wei Zhang's death, both the Insect Mother and the Winged General were shocked. They never expected Queen of the Blood to be so powerful, capable of annihilating the demonic forces without leaving a single trace. It seemed that the demonic clan's true strength was being exposed.
The Insect Mother and the Winged General exchanged glances, determination gleaming in their eyes. Then they nodded at each other, gave the order, and commanded all their soldiers to kill Queen of the Blood.
Soon, the Insect Mother and the Winged General led their soldiers towards the entrance of the passage.
"Your Majesty, another group of flying beings and insects have arrived. What should we do next?" Duke Hugu reported.
"Continue to observe. Let them exhaust each other, and then wipe them all out. This time, we must capture Iris alive," Queen Lilianna said coldly."Yes, Your Majesty."
