Chapter 296: Black Steel Dies, A Bunch of Self-Righteous Idiots
The death of a beast-body four-legged demi-human was not a big deal, but when the identity of this beast-body four-legged demi-human was "Black Steel" Mu Wa, one of the Ten Talents.
Then an unavoidable war was inevitable!
In order to cope with the continuous drought and find water sources, the beast-body four-legged race and the half-beast race naturally set their goals on the two locations where the North Mountain water source and the South Mountain water source were located.
"Black Steel" Mu Wa was a demi-human in the beast-body four-legged race who didn't rely on brute force and was rarely good at stealth, known as the ghost of the galloping darkness, which was the origin of "Black Steel".
As a top Mobile Corps Commander soldier, "Black Steel" Mu Wa was sent as an advance army to investigate the situation of the demi-humans at the water source.
As a result, the entire squad died!
And as one of the "Ten Talents", "Black Steel" Mu Wa, a top Mobile Corps Commander soldier, was missing; the disappearance of such a powerhouse meant clearly what it meant.
The beast-body four-legged patriarch "Magic Claw" Wei Jie was furious and led the entire race and the half-beast race to launch an attack.
Strange castle.
A serious atmosphere permeated the hall.
Blue Maggot King, Mother of Pandes, Go-Jin, Iron Ratman Priest, Zuranon Na Sulini, the leaders of the five demi-human races, sat at the round table with different expressions.
Besides the 5 demi-human leaders, Tang Zheng and the Leader sat in close positions, with the Mist Witch and Khajiit standing behind them respectively.
"The beast-body four-legged race has already invaded the hinterland; they have now seized a water source as a base camp, and the old man's Zuranon race cannot resist."
Zuranon Na Sulini's face was ugly, and her 4 arms pressed on the table at the same time, showing the excitement of her emotions at this moment.
The beast-body four-legged race was an extremely powerful race, and their individual martial strength was far beyond the level of ordinary demi-humans, to the extent that an "Adamantite-ranked" adventurer squad would fall into a bitter battle.
"How many troops does the Iron Ratman race have now?" Facing the request for help from Zuranon Na Sulini, Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the Iron Ratman Priest on the side.
"During this time, with sufficient food and water, we have recalled more than 3,000 fellow clansmen who had fled before."
The Iron Ratman Priest hurriedly leaned forward and answered respectfully: "The number of clansmen has recovered to 8,000."
Hearing this answer, Tang Zheng nodded lightly.
The Leader and Khajiit on the side were both surprised and astonished.
Especially the Leader, who found that he had underestimated the red-robed magic caster in front of him, and his pale eyes hidden under the black mist and death aura swept across everyone present.
Except for Zuranon Na Sulini, who was slightly worth paying attention to, the rest of the demi-humans were not worth mentioning.
"There are no believer-type magic casters among these demi-humans." The Leader thought silently in his heart, not surprised.
Tang Zheng pondered briefly.
"Send 3,000 Iron Ratmen, 2,000 Ogres, and Blue Maggot and Pandes groups each send 1,000 troops to support the Zuranon." Tang Zheng spoke flatly,
"I know you don't want to fight, since the enemy has already invaded our hinterland. If you want to let water and food fall into the hands of others, then please do as you please."
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 from trading with humans. With so much food, if it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Our Iron Ratman race will definitely fully assist the Zuranon." The Iron Ratman Priest expressed his position first.
Their Iron Ratman race had the greatest demand for food; now that the entire hilly region had fallen into drought, if there was not enough food, a large number of clansmen would starve to death.
Following the opening of the Iron Ratman Priest, the various races responded immediately.
Just then.
Go-Jin sank his face and spoke with a buzzing voice: "The corpse of "Black Steel" Mu Wa has been found; it indeed died in our territory. What is going on?"
As soon as this was said.
The gazes of all the demi-humans looked at Tang Zheng sitting at the head.
"Black Steel" Mu Wa was a top Mobile Corps Commander soldier; there were no more than three people present who had the ability to defeat the other party, and "Black Steel" Mu Wa couldn't even escape.
In the eyes of the demi-humans, only Tang Zheng could do it.
Facing a series of gazes.
Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the Leader on the side: "Leader, what is going on?"
"Oh."
The Leader responded softly, as if he had just realized something, and his strange magnetic voice rang out: "So that demi-human is called "Black Steel" Mu Wa; seeing him sneaking around, I just solved him by the way."
"Since it has caused big trouble for everyone, let me assist everyone."
"So that's it." Tang Zheng nodded lightly, his voice cold and calm:
"Then thank you, Leader."
The brief exchange reached everyone's ears.
All the demi-humans present looked at the Leader in disbelief.
They thought the other two humans in front of them were Tang Zheng's subordinates, but the content of the conversation was clearly not the relationship everyone imagined.
Even.
The human in front of them, who was called the Leader, seemed to be more powerful than Tang Zheng in terms of momentum.
Go-Jin looked at the figure shrouded in negative energy and death aura.
Leader?
Being able to be addressed like this by the hateful mysterious person, wouldn't this person called "Leader" be the one circulating in various human countries.
Go-Jin thought of this, and his heart was shocked.
Under the different thoughts of all the demi-humans.
The joint force of about 7,000 demi-humans set out in a mighty manner, rushing straight to the water source area occupied by the beast-body four-legged race.
The wars of demi-humans were always simple and direct!
Without any nonsense, the moment both sides discovered each other, they collided with roars.
The strong beast-body four-legged and half-beast races were like a flood, and the Ogres and Iron Ratmen, known for their great strength and defensive power, were crushed the moment they met the other side!
"There is more water and food here, slaughter them!"
"Avenge Lord Mu Wa!"
"Kill!"
"……!"
Battle cries instantly resounded through the sky.
Go-Jin gripped the mace weapon in his hand, looked at the melee in front, the scene of flesh and blood flying, and a suppressed anger slowly rose: "What exactly am I doing here!"
Clearly he was just pursuing more powerful strength.
But he inexplicably fell into this situation, watching countless demi-human races killing each other!
A look of confusion appeared in Go-Jin's eyes; he wanted to stop all this, but he also felt a sense of helplessness.
Those demi-humans wouldn't listen to his opinions at all; wanting to cooperate with humans, humans couldn't trust him either.
These hills were the demi-humans' territory, how could humans easily intervene?
Bang!
The muffled sound of flesh colliding came.
The tall and strong Ogre was sent flying by the collision of a beast-bodied quadrupedal beast, crashing into the side of Gao Jin.
The loud noise of heavy objects falling, the Ogre's screams, and the scene of flesh and blood flying reappeared in his eyes.
Go-Jin's breathing became rougher.
Benefiting from the advantages of body size and race, the beast-body four-legged race not only had extremely high individual strength, but once they ran, they were like human heavy cavalry.
Even demi-humans of the Ogre's size couldn't withstand the impact brought by the beast-body four-legged race's charge.
Solving an Ogre, that beast-body four-legged beast noticed Go-Jin, who was taller and more conspicuous, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on its panther-like face,
Bang!
Four feet kicked the ground violently.
This beast-body four-legged beast let out a beast roar, showing amazing explosive power and agility, and rushed toward Go-Jin.
From the point of view of the race, making a beast roar was a manifestation of not knowing how to control emotions, but at this moment on the battlefield, only wildness and strength could conquer another race!
The beast-body four-legged beast held a wooden shield, holding it in front, and while charging rapidly, held a spear behind it with the other hand.
In the blink of an eye!
This beast-body four-legged beast had already rushed in front of Go-Jin, and the shield in its hand lifted slightly, smashing over violently.
"Fortress!"
Facing this terrifying power charging over, a fierce look gradually emerged in Go-Jin's eyes, and he raised the mace in his hand.
Dong——
The mace and the shield made contact; there was no scene of being knocked away as imagined,
This beast-body four-legged beast only felt that it had hit an indestructible wall, unable to shake it at all, and strangely, there was no recoil generated by the impact,
"It's the power called "Martial Art" used like the King!" The beast-body four-legged beast's heart shook, and it hurriedly retreated, wanting to pull away the distance.
"Divine Flash!"
The ground under Go-Jin's feet exploded, and with a stride, he had already arrived at the side of this beast-body four-legged beast, waving the enchanted mace in his hand.
Bang!
A string of blood flowers mixed with flesh and blood bloomed in mid-air.
This beast-body four-legged beast screamed, its body fell to the ground with a bang, and it used the last bit of strength to throw the spear in its hand.
Go-Jin only dodged the other party's last blow with a side step.
Looking at the sunken lower body of the beast-body four-legged beast lying on the ground, and the body that kept twitching and bleeding.
"What a bastard!"
Go-Jin cursed, not knowing whether he was cursing the other party or himself, and waved the enchanted mace in his hand again, wanting to give the other party the final blow.
"Duel Declaration!" A roar rang out.
Go-Jin's mace, which was about to be waved, paused, and his body rushed toward the direction where the sound came from uncontrollably.
"What is going on!" Go-Jin's eyes were astonished, and while wanting to regain the initiative of his body, he looked at the figure rushing from afar.
That was a stronger beast-body four-legged beast, holding a long-handled double-edged enchanted battle axe in both hands, wearing a layer of thin leather armor, emitting magic light.
Boom!
The enchanted mace and the double-edged battle axe collided in mid-air, and the strong power erupted with a terrifying roar, and an air wave swept up from the center of the two out of thin air.
Knocking over many demi-humans who were caught off guard.
After a strong collision.
This beast-body four-legged beast took a step back, stood firm, and looked at Go-Jin in surprise: "Who are you?"
"This master actually lost a move in strength; I don't remember there being an Ogre among the "Ten Talents"."
"Magic Claw" Wei Jie gripped the double-edged battle axe in his hand tightly again, his scarlet gaze staring at Go-Jin opposite, full of excitement.
A trace of solemnity also appeared in Go-Jin's eyes: "Before asking the other party, should you report your name?"
"This master is the king of the beast-body four-legged race, "Magic Claw" Wei Jie!"
"Magic Claw" Wei Jie shouted.
Demi-human Ten Talents?
No wonder.
Go-Jin thought secretly in his heart; he had been in the hilly region for several months and hadn't met a powerhouse among the "Ten Demi-human Talents".
Now he saw several in a short time, which was really ridiculous!
"Go-Jin, currently considered the king of the Ogre race."
Go-Jin spoke in a deep voice, slightly retracted the enchanted mace in his hand, and said seriously: "Too many demi-humans have died in this war; let's stop here, how about it?"
"Stop fighting?"
"Magic Claw" Wei Jie seemed to have heard some joke: "Even if you united demi-humans are ready to surrender, it's too late now!"
"This master will not spare you; the death of "Black Steel" Mu Wa must be accompanied by you guys!"
"You groups, actually united without a sound; if you are eliminated and conquered, then the prestige of Wei Jie Lagandra will definitely resound through the entire hills!"
"Magic Claw" Wei Jie became excited when he said this, his scarlet beast pupils were hot, and he raised the double-edged battle axe in his hand and launched a charge again:
"Use your death to please this master!"
"Sure enough, you can't listen to anything; a bunch of self-righteous idiots." Go-Jin opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
At this moment, located at the outermost periphery of the battlefield.
Looking down at the entire battlefield, Tang Zheng could clearly see that the demi-humans on their side were retreating steadily.
There was a squad led by a small group of half-beasts, constantly interspersed on the battlefield, condensing the power of the entire beast-body four-legged race and the half-beast race into one.
"Beast General" Hekete Weishi.
Tang Zheng's mind flashed this name; this was the first time he had seen a demi-human who could truly be called a commander fighting among this group of demi-humans.
"Heh, heh, if this continues, the group of demi-humans under you will lose." The Leader standing on the side spoke indifferently.
Tang Zheng nodded and said calmly: "Indeed, so, Leader, it's your turn to take action."
"Fifth Rank Undead Summoning: Skeleton Griffin!" The withered palm of the Leader holding the strange staff poked out from the negative energy black mist.
With a rich negative energy fluctuation, the Skeleton Griffin appeared beside the Leader.
"Go."
The Skeleton Griffin flapped its wings, turned into a pale black shadow, and rushed into the battlefield.
Immediately after!
"Teleport"
The Leader waved his staff again, and his figure also disappeared from the spot, directly entering the battlefield below, appearing beside an Ogre.
That Ogre saw the Leader who suddenly appeared beside him and scratched his head in confusion.
With his wisdom, he couldn't distinguish whether the Leader was an enemy; looking at this strange guy shrouded in negative energy black mist, he smashed over with the wooden stick in his hand after a brief hesitation.
"Humph!"
The Leader snorted coldly, and the staff in his hand waved again: "Fifth Rank spell: Undead Creation!"
The rich aura of death instantly wrapped around this Ogre, and the corrosion of negative energy made this Ogre let out a painful wail.
In the blink of an eye.
As the rich negative energy dissipated, this Ogre turned into a skeleton undead about one person tall, holding a shield and a long sword, covered in heavy equipment.
"Heavy Bone Warrior"!
After the Leader created the second Fifth Rank undead, he took the Heavy Bone Warrior and walked toward the depths of the battlefield unhurriedly.
Battlefield periphery.
Tang Zheng frowned subconsciously; this series of actions by the Leader made him feel very strange.
As a disguise, the strength Tang Zheng showed was the power of a Fifth Rank magic caster, but the Leader was not.
If he released the Sixth Rank spell "Pale Fire", it would be enough to easily change the situation before him, but the Leader didn't do so.
Deliberately killing "Black Steel" Mu Wa, triggering the war before him, and entering the chaotic battlefield as a magic caster at the risk of his own life!
These strange actions.
Made Tang Zheng deny his previous speculation that the Leader wanted to show his strength and obtain control of the demi-humans.
"Leader, Leader, is wanting to……"
Khajiit, whose presence had become extremely low, thought of something at this time and took a step back: "Complete the ritual that was not completed 20 years ago!"
"What are you talking about?" Tang Zheng turned his head sharply and looked at Khajiit.
"It was……" Khajiit opened his mouth, but the words didn't come out.
"Fourth Rank spell: Yin, Five Elements, Lei Hou Summoning!"
"Fourth Rank spell: Yang, Five Elements, Lei Hou Summoning!"
Suddenly!
Two thunderbolts emerged from behind, and the flashing, surging electric light blasted toward Tang Zheng.
The sneak attack of the dual Fourth Rank spells made Khajiit and the Mist Witch, who were also in the attack range, unable to react at all, and the hair on their whole bodies stood up.
