Chapter 2794: Traitor
In the empty room, Su Xiao leaned against the cracked wall. He was severely injured. If it weren't for the 【Vitality Stock Solution】, ordinary Saint Spirit-level recovery potions wouldn't even be able to suppress his injuries.
Compared to the death battle with the Blood God, this confrontation with the Duoyin King was actually more dangerous. Over 90% of the Blood God's attacks could have their trajectories captured, and even if he couldn't dodge them, he would avoid vital points when resisting hard.
Fighting the technique-type Duoyin King was different. One couldn't trust the perceived trajectories of most of the enemy's attacks; they were too changeable.
Perhaps a moment ago the Duoyin King was still gathering momentum, and the next instant he appeared behind Su Xiao, with the war scythe hooked in front of his neck.
Not only that, the Duoyin King's weapon was also very tricky. While the opponent was alive, ever since he was slashed by the opponent, Su Xiao suffered internal flame burning damage every second. Now that the opponent was dead, the high-amount bleeding damage was still continuing.
At this moment, in front of Su Xiao, eight bottles of 【Vitality Stock Solution】 were placed. Every half minute, he drank one bottle to prevent the continuous bleeding damage from causing his health to slide below 20%.
Pulling out the cork of the seventh bottle of 【Vitality Stock Solution】, the potion had a faint bitter taste after entering his mouth, which was caused by the plant-like vitality. After drinking the potion, the pain in his side rib faded a lot, and his injuries stabilized.
Fortunately, he had prepared enough potions this time, otherwise, Su Xiao would have had to give up on the next few things.
Standing up from in front of the wall, Su Xiao moved his left arm, which was basically fine. He stepped toward the elevator.
The battle just now gave Su Xiao more confidence in the 【Vitality Stock Solution】. This was a recovery potion formula recorded in the Alchemy Secret Tome, which had great development value.
Su Xiao had recently been developing other uses for the 【Vitality Stock Solution】, such as allowing the potion to penetrate the skin to achieve a recovery effect.
Aerosol inhalation was also good. Taking it out during battle and inhaling the aerosolized potion into the body was several times faster than drinking the potion, and aerosol inhalation also allowed one bottle of potion to be used multiple times.
The elevator stopped after a shake, and Su Xiao reached the first basement level of the Wang Gong. At this moment, it was as if it had been swept by a typhoon, with cracks and bloodstains everywhere on the walls, ground, and ceiling, and ice crystals everywhere.
A severed arm was frozen by cold ice, and bloodstains spread outward. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao knew that the enemy who had fought Amu had escaped. Amu's pursuit ability was not strong.
Because of this, Amu and Baha often acted together. Those who could beat Baha couldn't beat Amu, and those who could outrun Amu couldn't outrun Baha.
At this moment, Baha was not near the Wang Gong. It had to ensure one thing: that the city guards outside would not desperately rush toward the Wang Gong. As for reinforcing Su Xiao, the technique-type Duoyin King could kill Baha in a very short time, just as Su Xiao was not afraid of the assassination type.
When Su Xiao walked out of the charred Wang Gong, the Wolf Cavalry and city guards in the Royal Capital were already engaged in chaotic combat everywhere in the city. There were corpses everywhere, and black smoke rose from the collapsed buildings, rushing straight into the sky.
Seeing Su Xiao walk out of the Wang Gong, Baha, who was scouting from above, dived down.
"Retreat."
"Alright."
Baha spread its wings and flew far away to notify Warpole and Yuya to retreat.
At the moment, the Wolf Cavalry Legion was suppressing the city guards, but don't forget, this was the Duoyin Royal Capital, and the main force on the main battlefield was rushing here at full speed.
Not only that, troops from other large Duoyin cities were also rushing here. It wouldn't be long before the Wolf Cavalry might be besieged.
Bang.
A signal flare rose into the sky, followed by a long horn sound. All the Wolf Cavalry headed toward the east side of the Royal Capital, ignoring the city guards pursuing them.
Su Xiao turned and rode onto the back of a mount wolf. Because there was an armor saddle, riding a mount wolf was actually very stable. He ordered the entire army to retreat.
Rumble...
The Wolf Cavalry Legion charged all the way, the earth shaking. This time, it wasn't the Demon Flame Dragon Barbatos flying at the very front, but Bubu Wang running at the very front.
After a forced march, the Wolf Cavalry Legion had traveled over ten kilometers when they encountered the first wave of enemy reinforcements.
A magical scene appeared: the two armies staggered past each other, neither wanting to engage the other. This was normal. Su Xiao wanted to pull out of Duoyin territory as soon as possible, while the reinforcements wanted to rush to the Royal Capital.
The sky gradually darkened. When Su Xiao reached the Western Border and returned to his own territory, it was already past 3:00 AM. At this time, on the boundary line between the central region and the Western Border, a Gray Orc unit and a War Treant unit were stationed.
Su Xiao headed straight for his new main city, Black Ring City. The Black Ring Fortress originally located in Black Melt City had been abandoned. To commemorate that fortress with historical significance, the new main city was named Black Ring City.
When Su Xiao reached Black Ring City, it was already 6:00 AM. Smoke from cooking fires rose in the city, and a few hundred meters outside the city walls, large tracts of land had been reclaimed.
It was only 6:00 AM, and many Gray Orc or Snake-man civilians were already working in the fields. Private ownership of land was the new law pushed by the old Snake-man.
Gray Orcs, Snake-men, and Ancient Tree people were all intelligent races. If they didn't have to fight, no one wanted to fight. And compared to the first two, the Ancient Tree people were very Buddhist; as long as they were given a piece of territory, they could take root there for over a dozen years without moving.
Finally, the Ghosts. This was not a settled group; they liked to absorb soul power.
Because their side had won consecutive victories recently, those few Ghosts in power frequently contacted the Northern Border. It looked like they were preparing to defect to the Northern Border. That side was in internal chaos, and the last thing they lacked was war and battlefields.
The city gates of Black Ring City were wide open. After the Wolf Cavalry entered the city, Su Xiao ordered them to rest. Hearing this order, the Wolf Cavalry cheered. They now had a lot of gold coins. They had been fighting outside before and had nowhere to spend them. In the current Black Ring City, taverns, restaurants, etc., had already been opened, and there were several markets of considerable scale.
Before even entering the city, Su Xiao saw the Great Lord Hila on the city walls, who was leaning on a lounge chair with a wine glass on the table beside her.
Seeing this, Yuya made a move to ride her mount wolf and charge onto the city walls to capture Hila. She and Warpole knew a part of the secret of the Burning Land.
When Su Xiao reached the city wall along the stairs inside the city wall, Hila was already surrounded by several Wolf Cavalry. These Wolf Cavalry didn't care whether Hila was a Great Lord or not.
These Wolf Cavalry had followed Su Xiao in battle all the way. As long as Su Xiao gave the order, they wouldn't hesitate even if they were to besiege the Dark Monarch Agamemnon. The Wolf Cavalry weren't stupid. Before, when some Flame Demons died, the souls of the Gray Orcs that drifted into the air were all seen by them.
"No matter what, I am the Great Lord of the Chaos Legion. Is it really okay to kill me at this time?"
Hila leaned on the lounge chair, looking at Su Xiao with a half-smile. Just at this moment, a saw-blade broadsword pressed against her neck. The Wolf Cavalry holding the saw-blade broadsword had a calm gaze. On the battlefield, he had already forgotten how many enemies he had killed.
"It seems it's okay to kill me."
Hila sat up and slowly raised her hands.
"Where is that Ghost?"
The Ghost Su Xiao mentioned was the one who helped Agamemnon collect the souls of Gray Orcs to create Flame Demons. This was a hidden danger that needed to be dealt with before dealing with Agamemnon.
"Right beside you, didn't you notice? She is stronger than other Ghosts and more obedient to your orders. She abandoned her former pride and served as a servant by your side. She once declared herself king; the Ancient Tree King and the Ghost Princess, she is the Ghost Princess."
Hila revealed a shocking piece of news: Agamemnon's other spy had always been by Su Xiao's side.
Hila was taken away by several Wolf Cavalry and then handed over to Warpole, imprisoned in a secret dungeon.
The return of the Wolf Cavalry Legion made the city much livelier. Imperial gold coins could circulate normally in Black Ring City, so every Wolf Cavalry had a solid family foundation.
In a three-story small building, bright sunlight shone from the window, and a breeze blew the curtains. Su Xiao, with water still dripping from his hair, sat in front of the window. Today's weather was very sunny. After finishing a certain thing, he would leave this world.
At the moment, the Chaos Legion and the Duoyin Empire had ceased hostilities because after the Duoyin King died, the power-holders who had been suppressed by the Duoyin King jumped out, and the central region was about to become chaotic. As for the Northern Border, that side was fighting even more lively.
The Dwarf race, the Barbarian troops, and the Lizard race formed a temporary alliance to guard against the Chaos Legion. The Elf Queen chose to embrace a big thigh and form an alliance with the Chaos Legion.
It could be said that the most peaceful places at the moment were the Western and Southern Borders of the Chaos Legion. 450,000 Wolf Cavalry guarded the interior, and 360,000 Gray Orc troops guarded the borders. Although the troop strength was small, other forces didn't dare to invade. The name of the Wolf Cavalry Legion was killed out in battle after battle.
By the end of the fighting, both sides had suffered huge losses, but there would be no large-scale battles anymore; they didn't have the capital. The decisive battle between Su Xiao and the Duoyin King was likely the largest battle in nearly a hundred years.
A gray bird landed on the window. This was a signal sent from Yuya's side. Something could begin. ===== CHAPTER 2795 =====
