Black Steel's Death, A Group of Self-Righteous Fools
A Beast-bodied Quadruped Demi-human's death wouldn't be a big deal, but when this Beast-bodied Quadruped Demi-human's identity is Muwa of Black Steel, one of the Ten Heroes.
Then an unavoidable war is inevitable!
The Beast-bodied Quadruped and Demi-beast races, in order to cope with the continuous drought and find water sources, naturally set their sights on the two locations where the North Mountain Range and South Mountain Range water sources are located.
Black Steel Muwa is a rare Demi-human in the Beast-bodied Quadruped race who is good at concealment and Stealth without relying on brute force, and is known as the Swift Darkness Phantom, which is also the origin of Black Steel.
As a top Guerrilla, Black Steel Muwa was sent as an advance force to investigate the situation of the Demi-humans at the water source.
As a result, the entire team died!
And as one of the Ten Heroes, and even more so a top Guerrilla, the disappearance of Black Steel Muwa means more than anything else.
Beast-bodied Quadruped Clan Chief Demon Claw Wiejie was furious and led the entire clan and the Demi-beast race to launch an attack.
Strange Castle.
A serious atmosphere permeated the Great Hall.
The Blue Maggot King, Pandes Queen Mother, Go Gin, Iron Ratmen Priest, and Demon Manifested People Na Su Li Ni, the leaders of the five Demi-human races, sat around the round table with different expressions.
In addition to the 5 Demi-human leaders, Tang Zheng and the Alliance Leader sat in nearby positions, with the White Mist Witch and Khajiit standing behind them respectively.
"The Beast-bodied Quadruped race has already invaded the hinterland, and they are now seizing a water source as their base camp. My Demon Manifested People race cannot resist."
Demon Manifested People Na Su Li Ni's face was ugly, and her 4 arms pressed on the table at the same time, showing the excitement of her emotions at the moment.
The Beast-bodied Quadruped race is an extremely powerful race, and the individual's Martial Arts is far beyond the level of ordinary Demi-humans. Even an Orichalcum Rank Adventurer Team would be in a bitter battle.
"How many troops does the Iron Ratmen race have now?" Facing the Demon Manifested People Na Su Li Ni's request for help, Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the Iron Ratmen Priest beside him.
"During this period, with sufficient food and water, we have recalled more than 3,000 clansmen who had fled before."
The Iron Ratmen Priest quickly leaned forward and respectfully replied, "The number of clansmen has returned to 8,000."
Tang Zheng nodded slightly after hearing this answer.
The Alliance Leader and Khajiit, who were on the side, were a little surprised and astonished.
Especially the Alliance Leader, he found that he still underestimated the red-robed Magic Caster in front of him, and his Pale Flame eyes hidden under the Black Mist and death aura swept over everyone present.
Except for the Demon Manifested People Na Su Li Ni, who was slightly worthy of attention, the rest of the Demi-humans were not worth mentioning.
"There are no faith-based Magic Casters among these Demi-humans," the Alliance Leader thought silently, not surprised.
Tang Zheng thought briefly.
"Send out 3,000 Iron Ratmen, 2,000 Ogres, and the Blue Maggot and Pandes each send 1,000 troops to support the Demon Manifested People." Tang Zheng said calmly, "I know you don't want to fight, since the enemy has already invaded our hinterland. If you want the water source and food to fall into the hands of others, then please do as you wish."
The Demi-humans, who originally had resistance in their hearts, couldn't help but raise their heads.
They knew that Tang Zheng had a huge amount of food stored through trading with humans. If so much food fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Our Iron Ratmen race will definitely fully assist the Demon Manifested People." The Iron Ratmen Priest was the first to express his position.
Their Iron Ratmen have the greatest demand for food. Now the entire Hills area has fallen into drought. Without enough food, a large number of clansmen will starve to death.
As the Iron Ratmen Priest spoke, the rest of the races immediately followed suit.
Just then.
Go Gin, with a calm face, opened his mouth with a buzzing voice: "The corpse of 'Black Steel' Muwa has been found, and he did indeed die within our territory. What exactly is going on?"
As soon as these words came out.
All the Demi-humans' gazes turned to Tang Zheng, who was seated at the head of the table.
'Black Steel' Muwa was a top-tier Guerrilla, and no more than three people present were capable of defeating him, yet 'Black Steel' Muwa couldn't even escape.
In the eyes of the Demi-humans, only Tang Zheng could have done it.
Faced with a series of gazes.
Tang Zheng instead turned his head to look at the Alliance Leader beside him: "Your Excellency Alliance Leader, what exactly is going on?"
"Oh."
The Alliance Leader responded softly, as if he had just realized something, and his strange, magnetic voice sounded: "So that Demi-human was called 'Black Steel' Muwa? Seeing him acting suspiciously, I just took care of him."
"Since I've brought you all a big trouble, I might as well assist you all."
"I see." Tang Zheng nodded lightly, responding in a cold and calm voice: "Then I'll have to trouble Your Excellency Alliance Leader."
The brief exchange entered everyone's ears.
All the Demi-humans present looked at the Alliance Leader in disbelief.
They had thought that the other two humans before them were Tang Zheng's subordinates, but the content of their conversation was clearly not the kind of relationship that everyone had imagined.
Even.
The human being called the Alliance Leader seemed to have an even stronger aura than Tang Zheng.
Go Gin looked at the figure shrouded in negative energy and death aura.
Alliance Leader?
To be addressed as such by the detestable mysterious man, could this person called "Alliance Leader" be the one rumored among the human nations?
Go Gin thought to this point, and his heart was shocked.
Amidst the various emotions of the Demi-humans.
An allied force of about seven thousand Demi-humans moved out in a mighty manner, heading straight for a water source area occupied by the Beast-bodied Quadruped race.
The Demi-human war has always been simple and direct! Without any nonsense, the two sides roared and collided together the moment they discovered each other.
The strong Beast-bodied Quadruped and Demi-beasts were like a torrent, and the Ogres and Iron Ratmen, known for their strength and defense, were directly crushed the moment they met the opponent!
"There's more water and food here, kill them!"
"Avenge Lord Muwa!"
"Kill!"
"...!"
The shouts of killing instantly resounded in the sky.
Go Gin clenched the wolf-fang club in his hand, watching the chaotic battle ahead, the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, a suppressed anger slowly rising: "What am I doing here!"
He was clearly just pursuing greater power.
Yet he inexplicably fell into this situation before his eyes, watching countless Demi-human Races kill each other!
A dazed look appeared in Go Gin's eyes, he wanted to stop it all, but he also had a feeling of not knowing where to start.
Those Demi-humans would not listen to his opinions at all, and even if he wanted to cooperate with humans, humans would not trust him.
This Hills area was Demi-human territory, how could humans easily intervene?
Bang! A muffled sound of flesh colliding came.
A tall and strong Ogre, under the impact of a Beast-bodied Quadruped running, was directly knocked away, smashing down in the direction of Go Gin's side.
The loud noise of a heavy object landing, the Ogre's screams, and the scene of blood and flesh flying, reappeared before his eyes.
Go Gin's breathing became a little rougher.
The Beast-bodied Quadruped, benefiting from its size and racial advantages, not only had extremely high individual strength, but once it ran, it was like a human heavy cavalry.
Even Demi-humans of the Ogre's size could not withstand the impact brought by the Beast-bodied Quadruped's charge.
After taking care of an Ogre, the Beast-bodied Quadruped noticed Go Gin, who was taller and more conspicuous, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on its panther-like face, bang! Its four legs suddenly stomped on the ground.
This Beast-bodied Quadruped let out a beastly roar, showing amazing explosive power and Agility, charging towards Go Gin.
From the perspective of the race, making beastly roars was a sign of not knowing how to control emotions, but at this moment on the battlefield, only wildness and power could conquer another race! The Beast-bodied Quadruped held a wooden shield, the top of the shield in front of its body, while quickly charging, the other hand held a Spear behind it.
In the blink of an eye! This Beast-bodied Quadruped had already rushed in front of Go Gin, the shield in its hand slightly raised, and slammed over fiercely.
"Fortress!"
Facing this terrifying force charging towards him, a fierce look gradually appeared in Go Gin's eyes as well, raising the wolf-fang club in his hand.
Dong—
The wolf-fang club came into contact with the shield, and there was no scene of being knocked away as imagined,
This Beast-bodied Quadruped only felt that it had hit an indestructible wall, unable to shake it in the slightest, strangely, there was no reaction force produced by the impact either, "It's like the king, using a power called 'Martial Arts'!" This Beast-bodied Quadruped was shocked in its heart, and quickly retreated, wanting to distance itself.
"Divine Skill Flash!"
The ground beneath Go Gin's feet exploded, and with one step, he had already arrived at the side of this Beast-bodied Quadruped, waving the enchanted wolf-fang club in his hand.
Bang! A string of blood flowers mixed with flesh bloomed in mid-air.
This Beast-bodied Quadruped screamed, its body crashing to the ground, using the last bit of strength to throw the Spear in its hand.
Go Gin simply sidestepped and easily dodged the opponent's last blow.
Looking at the Beast-bodied Quadruped lying on the ground with its sunken lower body, and its constantly twitching, blood-flowing body.
"What a bastard!"
Go Gin cursed loudly, not knowing whether he was cursing the other party or himself, and waved the wolf-fang club in his hand again, wanting to give the other party the final blow.
"Duel Declaration!" A roaring shout came.
Go Gin paused the enchanted mace he was about to swing, his body uncontrollably rushing towards the direction of the voice.
"What's going on!" Go Gin's eyes were filled with astonishment as he tried to regain control of his body, while looking at the figure rushing from afar.
It was an even stronger Beast-bodied Quadruped, holding a long-handled, double-edged enchanted battle axe in both hands, wearing a thin layer of leather armor that radiated a magical luster.
Boom! The enchanted mace and the double-edged battle axe collided in mid-air, the powerful force erupting into a terrifying roar, centered on the two of them, a wave of air swept out of thin air.
Knocking over many Demi-humans who were caught off guard.
After the intense collision.
The Beast-bodied Quadruped took a step back, regained his footing, and looked at Go Gin in surprise: "Who are you?"
"I actually lost in strength, I don't remember there being an Ogre in the 'Ten Heroes'."
'Demon Claw' Wiejie tightened his grip on the double-edged battle axe in his hand, his scarlet eyes staring at Go Gin opposite him, his face full of excitement.
A trace of solemnity also appeared in Go Gin's eyes: "Before questioning the other party, shouldn't you give your name?"
"I am the king of the Beast-bodied Quadruped race, 'Demon Claw' Wiejie!"
'Demon Claw' Wiejie said loudly.
Demi-Human Ten Heroes?
No wonder.
Go Gin thought to himself, he had been in the Hills for several months and had not encountered a strong person from the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes".
Now, he had seen several in a short period of time, it was truly ridiculous!
"Go Gin, currently considered the king of the Ogre race."
Go Gin said in a deep voice, slightly retracting the enchanted mace in his hand, and said seriously: "Too many Demi-humans have died in this war, let's end it here, how about it?"
"Ceasefire?"
'Demon Claw' Wiejie seemed to have heard some joke: "Even if you united Demi-humans are preparing to surrender, it's already too late!"
"I will not spare you, the death of 'Black Steel' Muwa, will be buried with you guys!"
"You groups, actually united silently, if we destroy and conquer you, then Wiejie Lagandra's reputation will surely resound throughout the Hills!"
'Demon Claw' Wiejie became excited as he said this, his scarlet beast pupils were fiery, he raised the double-edged battle axe in his hand, and launched another charge: "Use your death to please me!"
"As expected, they don't listen at all, a bunch of self-righteous fools." Go Gin opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
At this moment, located at the outermost edge of the battlefield.
Tang Zheng, who overlooked the entire battlefield, could clearly see that the Demi-humans on their side were retreating steadily.
There was a team led by a small group of Beastmen, constantly interspersed on the battlefield, condensing the power of the entire Beast-bodied Quadruped race and the Beastmen race into one.
"'Beast General' Hector Weiss."
The name flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, this was the first time he had seen a Demi-human who could truly be called a commander from this group of Demi-humans.
"Heh, heh, if this continues, the Demi-humans under your command are going to lose." The Alliance Leader standing beside him, said lightly.
Tang Zheng nodded and calmly said, "Indeed, so, Alliance Leader, it's your turn to act."
"Fifth Tier Undead Summoning - Skeleton Gryphon!" The Alliance Leader's withered hand, clutching the strange staff, emerged from the black mist of negative energy.
With a surge of rich negative energy, a Skeleton Gryphon appeared beside the Alliance Leader.
"Go."
The Skeleton Gryphon flapped its wings, transforming into a pale shadow, and plunged into the battlefield.
Immediately after!
Teleport
The Alliance Leader waved the staff again, and his figure also disappeared from the spot, directly entering the battlefield below, appearing beside an Ogre.
The Ogre, seeing the Alliance Leader suddenly appear beside him, scratched his head in confusion.
With his limited intelligence, he couldn't discern whether the Alliance Leader was an enemy. Looking at this strange fellow shrouded in a black mist of negative energy, he hesitated briefly before raising the wooden club in his hand and smashing it down.
"Hmph!"
The Alliance Leader snorted coldly, and the staff in his hand waved again: "Fifth Tier Magic - Undead Creation!"
A rich aura of death instantly enveloped the Ogre, and the corrosion of negative energy caused the Ogre to let out a painful wail.
In the blink of an eye.
As the rich negative energy dissipated, the Ogre transformed into a Skeleton Undead about one person tall, wielding a shield and longsword, with its entire body covered in heavy armor.
Armored Skeleton Warrior! After creating the second Fifth Tier Undead, the Alliance Leader led the Armored Skeleton Warrior, unhurriedly walking towards the depths of the battlefield.
On the outskirts of the battlefield.
Tang Zheng subconsciously frowned. The Alliance Leader's series of actions made him feel very strange.
As a disguise, the strength Tang Zheng displayed was that of a Fifth Tier Magic Caster, but the Alliance Leader was not.
If he released the Sixth Tier Magic Pale Flame, it would be enough to easily change the situation before him, but the Alliance Leader didn't do so.
Deliberately killing Black Steel Muwa, triggering the war before him, and then, as a Magic Caster, entering the chaotic battlefield at his own risk! These strange actions.
Made Tang Zheng deny his previous guess that the Alliance Leader wanted to display his power and gain control of the Demi-humans.
"Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader, is wanting to..."
Khajiit, whose presence had become extremely low, thought of something at this moment and subconsciously took a step back: "Complete the unfinished ritual from 20 years ago!"
"What are you talking about?" Tang Zheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Khajiit.
"It's..." Khajiit opened his mouth, but the words didn't come out.
"Fourth Tier Magic - Yin Five Elements Thunder Marquis Summoning!"
"Fourth Tier Magic - Yang Five Elements Thunder Marquis Summoning!"
Suddenly! Two bolts of lightning emerged from behind, and the flickering, surging electric light bombarded Tang Zheng.
The surprise attack of dual Fourth Tier Magic left Khajiit and the White Mist Witch, who were also within the attack range, with no time to react, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
