Chapter 403: Attack on the Shuowang Empire (Part 2)
update icon Updated at 2026/1/24 8:30:02

After receiving the command from Her Majesty the Queen, Violet immediately summoned the Firefly Brigade to assemble.

The Firefly Brigade consisted of three hundred fully equipped soldiers with exceptional combat skills.

At this moment, they stood in perfect formation in front of Violet, awaiting orders.

"Her Majesty the Queen has commanded us to attack the Ruined Land savages. Each person is equipped with twenty armor-piercing rounds. As soon as you see the enemy, start firing and withdraw after shooting all twenty rounds. Do you understand?"

"We understand clearly," the soldiers, codenamed Fireflies, replied in unison.

"Very well!" Violet nodded and declared loudly, "We march."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three hundred soldiers spread their wings of blood and turned into streams of light, rushing towards the border, disappearing in an instant at the edge of the sky.

Qizhou, seeing the vampire army in action, immediately spread his massive demon wings and followed closely behind.

Before long, Qizhou caught up with Violet's troops, matching pace with her.

"Why are you here, Qizhou?" Violet asked in surprise.

Qizhou replied, "I am here on the orders of Her Majesty the Queen to ensure the safety of all the soldiers. After all, each and every one of you is the Queen's pride."

Violet had a deep impression of Qizhou. He was able to assemble three hundred divine guns by himself, and every single one was flawless.

What was even more incredible was that Qizhou could manufacture ten thousand armor-piercing rounds overnight, all of them of excellent quality. This level of skill was simply unbelievable.

And now, Iris had sent him here to provide backup. It was clear that this person's abilities far exceeded her imagination.

How did Iris manage to recruit such a formidable individual? It seemed that as long as it was Iris' command, Qizhou would carry it out without hesitation.

Before Violet could ask further, Qizhou began giving orders, "Soldiers, do not aim at the vital parts of the winged men. Only shoot at their limbs or shoulders. Avoid causing unnecessary harm to the other races."

"Understood," the soldiers responded in unison.

"Qizhou..."

Before Violet could finish her sentence, Qizhou interrupted, "Director Violet, if what you are going to say has nothing to do with this battle, please refrain from asking now. You can ask once the soldiers are safely back in the Shuowang Empire."

Violet was momentarily speechless. "Alright, understood."

Qizhou didn't say anything more and continued urging the soldiers to pick up the pace.

Fifteen hours later, Violet noticed that the Ruined Land Alliance Army was marching towards the Shuowang Empire, so she quickly reminded, "Attention, everyone! Prepare to aim and shoot."

The soldiers of the Firefly Brigade immediately lifted their divine guns and aimed at the enemy, ready to fire.

At the same time, Qizhou silently took out a divine gun from his storage ring, which was engraved with a skull.

He raised the divine gun, aimed at the head of the woman riding the black horse in the enemy formation, and pulled the trigger sharply. With a loud bang, a golden bullet shot out from the divine gun, flying straight towards its target.

The bat-like senses of the Night Demon tingled, sensing danger approaching her. She immediately turned her head, only to be grazed on the cheek by a golden armor-piercing round, splattering blood in the air.

The Night Demon wiped the wound with her hand, seeing the fresh blood staining her fingers. She licked her lips and smiled cruelly, murmuring, "Interesting!"

After a moment, the Night Demon's cheek was completely healed, as if she had never been injured.

Excitement flickered in the Night Demon's eyes as her fiery red pupils split into three petals, resembling a seductive mandarin duck flower, filled with temptation.

Immediately after, the "Firefly" troops fired all twenty armor-piercing rounds from the divine gun.

The Night Demon, who had originally intended to charge forward, had to give up the idea of attacking and could only use her large wings to block the armor-piercing rounds.

"Whoosh, swoosh..." The armor-piercing rounds streaked through the night sky, flying towards the Ruined Land Alliance Army.

"Splut, splut, splut..." The armor-piercing rounds penetrated the enemy's armor, causing screams of agony.

Any soldier hit by an armor-piercing round could not escape death.

As soon as General Winged Man heard the sound of the divine gun, he immediately ordered all the Winged Men to take cover in the sky to avoid friendly fire.

Each Winged Man couldn't help but admire Lord White Dragon's wisdom. This weapon must be the crystallization of Lord White Dragon's wisdom, otherwise the vampires would not be able to create such a powerful and domineering weapon.

With the firing of the twenty armor-piercing rounds, the vampire army quickly retreated.

This attack caused the Ruined Land Alliance Army to lose nearly six hundred soldiers. Although the loss was not large, it made many soldiers feel timid and their morale dropped.

If all of the vampire's soldiers were equipped with such weapons, the outcome of the war would be unimaginable.

The Night Demon didn't expect the vampires to retreat so decisively and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Cowards!" the Night Demon sneered, then continued riding her horse towards the direction of the Shuowang Empire.

"Sister, our morale has greatly diminished because of the vampire's weapon. What should we do next?" Blood Roar asked.

The Night Demon pulled on the reins in her hand, controlling her black horse to turn around. She glanced at them and said coldly, "Are you really scared by just one attack? Do you really think that every vampire soldier can be equipped with such a powerful weapon? This is just a bluff. It is certain that only the vampires who possess this weapon were sent out. If every vampire could be equipped with such a weapon, they would have attacked with their entire army and killed us all!"

The soldiers of the Ruined Land Alliance Army suddenly realized, and their morale rose again.

"Night Demon, you are wise!"

"Kill all the vampires! Unify the Divinity and Demon's Continent!" Blood Roar shouted.

"Kill all the vampires, unify the Divinity and Demon's Continent!" the soldiers echoed.

Upon hearing the soldiers' cheers, the Night Demon's lips curved into a sinister smile. She scanned her surroundings and arrogantly said, "This is the glory that our Ruined Land Alliance Army should have! Let's go!"

The Night Demon led the army towards the Shuowang Empire in a grand manner.

...

During the journey back to the Shuowang Empire, Violet asked the question in her heart, "Qizhou... do you like Iris?"

Qizhou was taken aback and asked, "Why do you ask?"

Violet pursed her lips and said, "You always carry out Iris's orders without question and without seeking any rewards. With your abilities, it would be easy for you to become a high-ranking official or even a prime minister. Why don't you ever ask for anything?"

Violet's words left Qizhou confused. He couldn't exactly say, "Iris is the Demon Emperor and I am the Demon General!" Or, "I am the monarch of the Sun-Moon Empire, who cares about vampire rights!"

Being a lazy ruler is quite comfortable. Eating, playing, and sleeping every day, with beautiful women as companions. What a shame! Qizhou was a wise monarch who had experienced the hardships of ruling. Nowadays, he left all the affairs to Modi, spending his days studying divine guns and reading books. It was quite nice.

After some thought, Qizhou spoke, "Iris is my liege, and I am loyal to her. It is only natural. I don't have any other desires, I only hope my liege remains safe. Titles and positions like a lord or a prime minister have no appeal to me, they are just empty names without significance."

"But what if someone tries to suppress you in the court? Without a position to rely on, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?"

"Suppression in the court? I've never experienced it, nor will I. If His Majesty has sent me to handle the dirty work, my strength is enough to deter those petty individuals. Besides, I have a group of brothers whom I can call upon for help when needed." Qizhou replied calmly, with no emotional fluctuations in his tone.

"..." There was something strange about his words.

"Okay, let's not talk about these matters anymore. Stock up on ammunition and prepare to defend against the Ruined Land Alliance Army. Have the air strike unit stay on standby."

"Yes, sir!"
