Chapter 1037: Chapter 646, Suicide Attack
Ma Tianyi stood behind the Undead army.
He watched as magic attacks, like a shielding dome, kept hurling towards the other side.
At this moment, he didn’t even know how to express his feelings.
Too terrifying.
Even more terrifying than he had originally anticipated.
In the face of the Undead army’s onslaught, this Demon Legion seemed like an adult beating a child.
The legendary disaster wrought by Demons, is this all there is to it?
These must be just a bunch of minor monsters, right!
Ding!
The Book of City Lord rang out again.
Ma Tianyi opened it to find the Alliance channel as usual.
“@Ma Tianyi, Bro Ma, are you still alive?”
“I’m really worried, can’t even sleep.”
“Yeah, Alliance Hierarch, how’s the situation? Who has the upper hand in the battle?”
In the middle of the night, the Alliance erupted as though a pot had been overturned, everyone chiming in all at once.
Whether to stay or go, everyone must be anxious!
Ma Tianyi glanced at the demons being suppressed and after considering his words, said, “Everything is going well, Fang Hao’s forces have the upper hand. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone can go home tomorrow.”
Wow!!
The channel exploded even more.
“Really? We’ve gained the upper hand already?”
“Alliance Hierarch, are you sure you haven’t been hacked?”
“Fang Hao is that fierce?”
“What’s happening, Fang Hao is going to win?”
One after the other, messages kept popping up.
Even though everyone was hoping Fang Hao would win, they still found it difficult to believe.
A few hours ago, Ma Tianyi had said they were on the road, yet in the time it took them to make camp, they had started to overpower the demons?
And could see that they might be able to return home the next day?
The progress seemed a bit too fast!
Ma Tianyi also showed a smile.
He continued to reply, “Okay, just trust me, if anything happens, I will inform everyone. Have a good night’s sleep tonight!”
“Oh, okay.”
“Be careful, Alliance Hierarch, run if you must.”
“Get me an autograph from Fang Hao…”
“Di Ning Ning, you’re not crying again, are you? Is now really the time to chase stars?”
“What’s it to you!”
After ending the chat, Ma Tianyi turned his attention back to the battlefield in front.
…
The walls of the Demon camp had long become a pile of ruins.
The collapsed stones had become stepping stones for the advancing Undead, who launched an assault straight into the interior.
The Mages in the back stopped their barrage of magic attacks after several rounds.
The Skeleton Archers also ceased firing.
They became dazed figures, standing by in their positions.
More melee skeletons, led by the Bone Giants, surged in like a flood.
They engaged in close combat with the Demons.
In the air.
Skeleton Giant Bats and Skeleton Vultures covered the skies like dark clouds.
Apart from the Buzzing Demons launching ‘buzzing’ attacks, some winged Demons also attempted to fly up and fight.
They were surrounded by swarms of Giant Bats and Vultures and, in the blink of an eye, were devoured into a pile of mush.
Fang Hao, controlling the ‘warrior puppet,’ had already entered the center of the Demon camp.
He easily took care of two charging Demons before he climbed the collapsed ruins to look deeper into the camp.
There, in the middle of the camp, the Demon Hero who had almost been blown up by him was now killing the Undead that leaped towards him.
From this distance, Fang Hao finally saw what he looked like.
The creature was five or six meters tall, its figure resembling an Orc put together, with a pair of Demon horns on its head.
It wore armor made of bones, with sharp bone spurs protruding from the shoulders, elbows, and other places.
In its hands was a massive dark red Longsword.
Each swing would lift sheets of flame blades, killing groups of approaching Undead soldiers.
Fang Hao was taken aback.
He hadn’t noticed before, but this Demon Hero truly was fierce.
Alone against so many Undead surrounding him, he was still holding on.
“Thunderbolt attack, target him,” Fang Hao ordered the Skeleton Warriors around him.
Immediately, lightning spears appeared in the hands of the surrounding Skeleton Warriors, which they threw from all directions towards the Demon Hero in the center.
The sound of crackling filled the area.
Rings of Thunderbolts spread out, causing the Demon to constantly emit pitiful howls.
The dark red skin cracked open in an instant.
Densely packed wounds appeared.
The Demon’s body was indeed rough and resilient, and it also recovered very quickly.
After the lightning strike, the heroes around him attacked the Demon Hero once more.
The ancestral tactic began: piling up on him with sheer numbers.
Dense swarms of skeletons rushed from all directions, hacking, biting, dragging—using all methods to attack the Demon Hero.
Outside, Fang Hao ordered a large number of archers to climb up to higher ground and shoot unceasingly into the interior.
Wave after wave of Undead endlessly surged towards the Demon.
They couldn’t be killed, nor could they break out.
Roar!!
The Demon Hero let out a painful roar and suddenly plunged his sword into the ground.
Boom!!
The next second, the ground in front began to crumble, and streams of flame and magma erupted from beneath the broken ground.
Pillars of fire filled the sky.
The flames, filled with terrifying energy, devoured all types of Undead soldiers in the area, and the intense heat turned them to ash within seconds.
Gone without a trace.
Just for that moment, a vacuum zone of more than ten meters formed at the front, not a single bone left alive.
Fang Hao, standing at a distance, saw everything clearly.
So fierce!!
This Demon Hero had shown his formidable strength.
Even if Demitrija were to go in, it might be dangerous.
“Quick, keep attacking, pile on until he’s dead,” Fang Hao motioned, calling for more skeletons from the back to keep going in.
Undead soldiers opened up a gap ahead, allowing the Demon Hero a brief respite.
He immediately let out a roar, brandishing his heavy sword and charging toward several other directions. The Undead soldiers approaching were also dying in droves under the flames.
Fang Hao watched for a while, feeling that something was not quite right.
He was fierce in battle, never retreating or fleeing, but instead, he was blocking the way and killing the Undead.
It was more like he was guarding the stone gate behind him.
Could there be something behind it that needed to be protected?
His attention slightly shifted to the stone gate behind.
And he noticed some unusual details.
The stone gate wasn’t merely cracked open, as Ma Tianyi had said; the Demon had already fully opened it.
The corpses of the slain demons lay scattered on the ground like chunks of ‘Tai Sui’, extending into the area beyond the stone gate.
And the closer they were to the stone gate, the more those chunks of ‘Tai Sui’ lying on the ground seemed to wriggle as though they still had life, twitching slightly.
It was as though there were blood vessels pulsating underneath them.
“There couldn’t be more tricks up their sleeve, could there?” Fang Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
This Demon Hero was already difficult to deal with, and if another even stronger monster came running out from inside,
wouldn’t there be potential danger?
His consciousness immediately returned to the rear, outside the camp.
Fang Hao opened a slit in the carriage and said, “Call Demitrija over.”
“Yes!”
Soon, Demitrija hurried over. “My lord, did you summon me?”
“There might be greater danger behind the stone gate inside. Have the Skeleton Giant Bats carry the thunder tubes to blast the Demon blocking the entrance directly to death,” Fang Hao instructed.
“Understood, my lord,” Demitrija responded, then turned and left.
Shortly after, a swarm of small giant bats took flight from the rear of the troops.
They entered the airspace above the camp.
Targeting the Demon Hero below, who was slaying Undead, they dived straight down.
Thousands of giant bats.
They surged into a descending column of white bone that enveloped the Demon Hero.
Boom boom boom!
The Demon Hero let out agonized howls, flapping its wings trying to fly away.
But the Skeleton Giant Bats, much like ‘guided munitions’, bombarded him again with another group.
The Demon Hero’s body was severely damaged, falling from the sky.
And groups of Skeleton Giant Bats poured down like a torrential downpour, forming a continuous cascade of white bones.
Layer upon layer, they covered him.
Boom boom… Boom boom boom!!
A series of explosions became continuous.
The explosions persisted for several minutes before subsiding.
Not even waiting for the dust to settle.
The surrounding Undead soldiers rushed forward once again, slashing wildly without question.
The sound of swords chopping resonated through the valley.
…
Dawn was spreading across the sky.
A battle that lasted from night until dawn.
And within the Demon camp, the sound of fighting gradually ceased, slowly returning to silence.
Demitrija rushed over once again, reporting in a low voice, “My lord, all demons within the camp have been cleared.”
Fang Hao had Demon Dolls with him, so he could also see inside.
“Are there any corpses left?”
“I was just about to tell my lord, these demons decompose immediately upon death, but we have found some materials.”
“Oh? Show me.”
Skeletons walked over from behind, presenting a number of items.
Wriggling Spine, Demon’s Tooth, Hard Hoof, Demon’s Essence, Forgotten Soul.
Without checking, the Wriggling Spine is known as a recruitment material dropped after faction battles.
Demon’s Tooth
[Category: Material]
(Description: Teeth used to tear apart flesh, now seemingly have a special purpose.)
Beyond that, both Hard Hoof and Demon’s Essence were materials as well, with descriptions not hinting at any special purpose.
He would ask Nelson later if he had seen such things.
After all, in terms of knowledge, Nelson is on par with half a library.
His gaze continued to move backward, and Fang Hao’s eyes lit up again.
A grayish-white bead!
So familiar.
Forgotten Soul, indeed it was a Forgotten Soul.
This material had only been obtained once before in the Demon Orphanage,
and he had used it for the recruitment of ‘Nisbit’.
Whereas Nisbit is one of the few types of troops that can continue to advance.
Nisbit has now all advanced to heroes.
But if Fang Hao wanted to continue recruiting, this material was the only thing he lacked.
If it turned out that ‘Forgotten Souls’ could be found here, then the recruitment requirements for Nisbit could be satisfied again.
To recruit more of this type of troop and then advance them to heroes.
By then, it would be possible to form an army composed of heroes.
“How many of these white beads are there?” Fang Hao picked up a bead and asked.
“So far, we have only found 1 bead on the outskirts, but if we clean up the entire battlefield, we should be able to find quite a few,” Demitrija replied.
Fang Hao nodded, satisfied to find even a few.
“Alright, no rush. Have the troops assemble in front of the stone gate. After dealing with the inside of the stone gate, we’ll clean up the battlefield,” he ordered.
“Yes, my lord,” Demitrija once again left, calling the troops to assemble in front of the stone gate.
…
Darkness filled the area behind the stone gate.
Like a gateway to hell, it was dark and terrifying.
Swoosh swoosh!!
Thunder Spirit, an owl composed of lightning, flapped its wings and swiftly flew into the pitch-dark stone gate.
After a brief moment of darkness and disorientation, vision returned once more.
And the next second, Fang Hao’s heart tightened abruptly.
The Thunder Spirit nearly dissipated.
This was a vast space where bodies hung upside down like grapes in mid-air.
Incessant wriggling blood vessels connected all the bodies, ceaselessly throbbing.
It was as if they were siphoning some kind of nourishment.
“Damn it, what’s going on here…”
