Chapter Eighty: Great Battle (4)
The Steel Bull trudged heavily,
Fully armored, the strength to run used,
Leaving deep hoofprints on the gentle slope.
The beastmen all turned their heads,
Seeing this scene, they forgot to breathe.
The Blood God Demon warriors,
Exceedingly excited, waved their weapons,
Roaring:
“Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull tribute to the Skull Throne!”
Crimson armor and sharp blades,
Smashed down fiercely, blood splashed,
Heads flew.
Twenty copper bull knights,
Charged and trampled their way through,
The bull hooves crushed fallen beastmen,
Heads shattered, cries resounded.
A path of blood spattered,
The immense momentum of the beastmen,
Released within this sixty meters,
Only slowing down after colliding with their bodies,
Creating a gap.
Following the copper bull knights,
And the beastmen wielding fiery blades,
They withered.
The monsters swung
Their twisted limbs,
Striking down heavily,
Smashing the fallen.
Then came the surge of
Blood God Demon warriors,
Hacking the survivors to death.
The color sin beasts that slithered on the ground,
Dug into the beastmen’s ranks,
Pecking, stabbing, biting,
The stench of bloody musk
Made the beastmen’s limbs grow weak,
Collapsing into the pool of blood.
For a moment, the beastmen lost their courage,
Mooing in panic,
Desperately pushing down their allies in the way,
Even hacking down obstructing friends,
No matter what,
Trying to distance themselves from the group of slaughtering gods behind them,
The farther the better.
Ji Ma personally oversaw the battle,
Looking down from above.
Her mixed troops,
Like a sharp blade,
Drove deeply into the backs of the beasts in chaos,
At least a hundred meters faster than the other units.
In the sky, suddenly
A group of white blobs appeared,
Desperately crashing against the armor of the Blood God Demon warriors,
Clanging, attempting
To drill into the gaps,
Only to be easily blocked and tossed aside.
Ji Ma realized,
It was the battlefield spell, the Flock Feast,
But regrettably,
It was ineffective against the heavily armored troops.
It seemed the enemy was flustered,
Completely unaware of who was attacking them.
Ji Ma’s gaze swept across the battlefield,
With the keen awareness of Wind Demon culture,
She focused on a group of great horned beasts guarding
The beastman shaman.
He was letting out a beastly roar,
Summoning great horned beasts and
Beastmen,
Furiously waving his fingers, trying
To carve out a “spearhead” from the entire battle group.
Ji Ma immediately waved her command baton,
Ordering:
“Charge towards the three o’clock direction!”
“Copper Bull Knights! Charge towards the three o’clock direction too!”
“Team One Hundred…”
Beside her, the fear demon types,
Their hands sparking with magic light,
A few monsters disobeyed orders,
Their heads producing
Crackling sounds,
Puffing out a cloud of smoke,
They shrieked,
Turning to lash out
With their tentacle-claws,
Dropping their victims,
Then fleeing.
The beastman shaman and his
Gathered troops,
Head collided with
Copper Bull Knights, monsters, and color sin beasts,
Like tanks,
Trampling over beastmen corpses,
Charging towards him,
Behind them was a large group of blood-red armored warriors.
He was so panicked he forgot
To cast spells,
Everywhere he looked was filled with ”
Demon monsters.”
How is there so many copper bull knights and monster infantry?
Is the entire line filled with these things?
Where did they come from?
He had no idea,
That it was the forces of “False King” Ji Ma.
The enemy’s strength,
Filled him with immense fear.
“Stop them!”
The great horned beasts roared,
And the furious Minotaurs charged against
The fleeing beastmen.
Ji Ma spread her arms,
Each hand holding a beastman head,
Vigorously shaking her fingers as a medium to curse them.
In an instant,
A mist like iron grey descended,
Falling on the great horned beasts and Minotaurs,
Their energy surged,
The storm stones expanded,
Their bulging muscles wasted away,
Veiling them.
Copper Bull Knights, monsters, and
Color sin beasts surged forward,
In less than half a minute,
The last Minotaur,
Eyes wide open,
Was completely massacred by the Blood God Demon warriors.
The beastman shaman tried to escape.
Unfortunately, the monsters caught up to him,
Surrounding him completely.
Fear was no longer tormenting him,
Because his head,
Collided with a Copper Bull Knight.
Ji Ma watched and said:
“Mission accomplished, very well done.”
As soon as she finished speaking,
A piece of stone from the carriage,
Smashed towards her.
Ji Ma quickly dodged,
Raising her hand to target the boulder,
The boulder narrowly struck her,
A magic shield flashed past,
Protecting Ji Ma.
Truly tired of living.
Ji Ma’s gaze turned to the nearby Cyclops,
Pointing at him.
Ten seconds later,
As the fleeing Cyclops tried to escape,
A massive wound split open on his heel,
He fell to the ground,
His entire body,
Covered with Blood God Demon warriors.
A long spear fell,
Pierced through fur, split flesh,
The Cyclops let out a long wail,
His head tilted,
And he died.
Another mission target completed.
Below, the beastmen
Almost completely retreated,
Fleeing behind the demon army besieging the city,
Hoping for protection.
Though exhausted,
The Blood God Demon warriors shouted for blood,
Wanting to pursue,
After all, who could resist the urge to massacre?
Ji Ma glanced to the right.
The color sin cavalry did not disappoint her expectations,
Forcing the space for the centaur beasts to maneuver to shrink,
The centaur beasts gathered tightly into clusters.
Ji Ma firmly ordered,
Forbidding the troops from pursuing,
But instead letting the Blood God Demon warriors wielding long spears,
Turn around,
To encircle and kill the centaur beasts.
The color sin cavalry opened a gap,
Allowing the centaur beasts to escape,
They charged straight into rows of slanted long spears.
The Blood God Demon warriors,
Cutting, chopping, hooking,
The centaur beasts
Punctured by spear tips through their necks,
Blood flowed everywhere.
Though Ji Ma did not pursue,
A large number of beastmen retreated,
Like startled sheep,
Fleeing amidst the demon army,
Eventually affecting the siege progress.
Inside the city,
Ailina shouted:
“Reinforcements!”
As she spoke, she grabbed the tail of a flying shark barehanded, swung it down to the ground, and then smashed its head with a hammer.
She used her abilities, now four meters tall, one hand holding a moon axe, her silver hair blowing in the wind.
“Look! The enemy’s offensive has slowed down! I can hear the sounds of reinforcements!”
The morale of the imperial guards stationed at the street alongside her surged. With her and the adjacent Hell Riders, they viciously slew the bloodsucking ghosts, driving them back to retreat.
Ailina gasped for breath, feeling lightheaded, capturing the sounds in the air. Fully armored, she only had a slit left, the throat plate connected to the breastplate, her head turning awkwardly, her vision extremely poor.
She dared to do this because her silver long hair could catch even the slightest vibration in the air, sensing the enemy.
Her silver hair deciphered the sounds in the air, transmitting them to her mind. It was the detestable mixed ghostly creatures, and the cries of the Imperial Justiciar valiantly battling. She truly wanted to join them, to crush those fools hard. But it seemed like there was no beautiful voice like Sigma or the White Wolf God among them.
She also heard the sound of hooves, charging toward the city walls, it was the hooves of the Radiant Sun Knights.
Ailina said: “Continue advancing! Take back the city walls.”
“Execute all retreaters immediately!”
“Crack.” Something shattered.
“Ah!”
The reporting knight captain: “I have executed a deserter!”
All who could stand and walk advanced together.
“Roar!”
The troops formed from the city guard, armed civilians, and Hell Knight Corps immediately began a counterattack, despite many wounded, led by the Grand Knight Captain and Hell Knights as the spearhead, attacking the city gate.
Along the way, the obstructing scouts, berserkers, and some bloodsucking ghosts fell beneath their swords. Grand Knight Captain Ailina’s gaze fixed on the distant city gate, where those Northern traitors who had allied with the Blood God had already moved the blocking stones and debris, almost completely.
They must not take control of the city gate!
Grand Knight Captain Ailina’s gaze was resolute.
Her tall figure drew the enemy’s attention, as the bloodied scouts and berserkers praised the name of the Blood God, charging forward.
Grand Knight Captain Ailina let out a battle roar, charging forward, and as she got closer, she suddenly jumped up, grabbing the enemies one by one. She praised the name of the gods, spinning around, her longsword and bell colliding with the enemy’s throwing spear operators, then from behind, attacking the raiders and berserkers.
She ruthlessly broke up this enemy force.
The hooves of the Radiant Sun Knights grew nearer.
Grand Knight Captain Ailina panted heavily, looking towards the city gate.
The main enemy force at the city gate, to be dealt with by herself, was just in time for the Radiant Sun Knights’ attack.
She lifted her visor, but saw the inner-circle knights of the Radiant Sun Knights dismounting behind the city gate, personally lifting the log that blocked the gate, preventing it from opening.
The Radiant Sun Knights betrayed us.
“Traitors! They are traitors! They betrayed the Empire!”
A city defense soldier yelled in despair as he chased.
After the bloodbath, they immediately recognized my troops. Who would have thought the first troop was actually traitors?
Grand Knight Captain Ailina only scoffed coldly.
Weak people are not uncommon.
Her body began to shrink, her magic sustaining, the time for her grand pose by the shore came to an end.
The city gate swung open, the blood-red sounds of enemy blood filling the gate, praising the Blood God, surged into the city.
The city fell, Talabek City was about to fall.
She even imagined it happening faster than expected, as she hadn’t calculated for the factor of traitors.
All was lost!
Grand Knight Captain Ailina mounted her armored warhorse, preparing for a countercharge!
Leading the remaining Hell Knights, with numerous infantry following behind, they charged towards the city gate.
The inner-circle knights of the Radiant Sun Knights also mounted their warhorses, but for some reason, he lifted his visor, revealing a face covered in large boils. He seemed to silently defend himself.
With his sickly condition, he would be investigated, reformed, isolated, and his weapons confiscated, almost like a death sentence.
Grand Knight Captain Ailina thrust her lance through his chest, her mind clear.
This world has too many damned people who didn’t keep their duties.
For some reason, the first wave of enemies entering the city gate had low combat strength, the Grand Knight Captain ripped through their ranks, surprisingly killing her way out of the city gate.
Unfortunately, the city gate was already ablaze, unable to close.
She saw the outside world, it was complete chaos, beasts running around in the demon army’s siege camp like startled herds.
The irritable Blood God Demon army could hardly stand it, directly raging.
There was blood everywhere, meanwhile, the Blood God Demon army was still besieging the city.
Further away, in a more magical sight, she saw a large crowd of damned Blood God Demon warriors, lined up slaughtering the beastmen.
In such a chaotic battlefield, one figure caught her attention.
She looked up, seeing a dark-haired succubus figure standing on a floating disc, leaning on a bleeding axe-spear and holding what seemed to be a wand.
Under her feet, under her will, a great massacre was taking place.
Though she couldn’t see clearly, Grand Knight Captain Ailina was sure that she was the legendary witch Ma.
Then, Grand Knight Captain Ailina ordered a breakout.
