Chapter 607: If You Don’t Give Us, We Will Kill You All! (1/2)
Outside the Doa Royal Palace, the raging gale and smoke died down as the battles in most places had ended.
The sky slowly regained its clearness and the vision was no longer hindered.
Arcane masters collapsed to the ground without caring about manners after they exhausted their stamina and mental strength.
Based on the news passed around, at the most crucial moment, the Holy Dawn Academy team led by Ayrin miraculously brought a huge demihuman army and took control over the battlefield.
The five Evil Dragon Corps gathered here had already been annihilated.
The righteous arcane masters had won this war. However, they did not seem to be happy.
It was because this war was too cruel. The entire Doa Royal City was flattened. Within their sight, there were far too many corpses. Only one or two tenth of all the arcane masters here had survived.
The corpses of dead arcane masters spread out over the rubbles and ruins like an ocean.
......
“Since you have already taken control over this area, why are you not destroying those four Evil Dragon bones?”
At the central area of the ruins, the demihuman army had already built a camp around the four Evil Dragon bones. The demihumans riding on monsters had completely sealed off the area. No other arcane master could enter.
Currently, some arcane masters wearing bright yellow armor were arguing with some demihumans.
“This is the area we conquered, you have no right to ask.” A demihuman wearing elegant Devil’s Snare armor spoke proudly while despising those arcane masters in yellow armor.
That demihuman was called Silva. He was one of the demihumans Ayrin taught arcane skills. His mount was a ‘Muddy Ice Worm’, an earth-ice dual elemental Lord level monster. His mount was the strongest amongst the group of demihumans gathered there, hence he naturally became the de facto leader.
The Death’s Snare armor he wore was the most intricate base armor in the Kingdom of Doa. Layers of blood tattoo steel refined through fire Dragon blood formed complex and beautiful patterns. The armor had a waist design, meaning most arcane masters would look handsome and gorgeous wearing it. However, Silva had a short and plump build, especially since he had a longer upper torso and a shorter lower torso. His legs were thick and made him look funny wearing the armor.
The general of the arcane masters in yellow armor looked at the leader of the demihumans like looking at a clown.
“The area you conquered? We have no right to ask?”
A middle-aged general snorted loudly, “All the arcane teams and Corps gathered here are aiming to exterminate the Evil Dragon followers. This battlefield is the land of glory to all the arcane masters who have participated. Can you claim the land for yourself?”
“Stop being hypocritical!”
Silva snorted back. As most demihumans had larger nostrils than humans, especially with Silva who had an ape face with large nostrils, his snorting sound was much louder than that middle-aged general.
“You Gillian Corps arcane masters belong to the subordinate Corps of House Gregory. House Gregory’s Dragon riders and main forces have died in this war, yet your Corps seems unscathed. Do you think we can’t tell you have been purposely hiding and preserving your fighting strength? That you’re only thinking about looting?”
The general was shocked, “When did the demihumans become so smart?”
In their minds, demihumans were the definition of crude and dirty cowards. They had nothing to do with intelligence.
“It’s because you were too slow and hid for too long. Only when you saw us looting did you come out. Now that you see we have looted most of the things around here, you want to use some lousy excuse to enter our camp and steal some profit in the chaos, right?”
Watching those dumbfounded arcane masters, Silva snorted even louder as if he had seen through them.
“Shut up!”
Those arcane masters were greatly ashamed after their plan was seen through.
The middle-aged general narrowed his eyes. His expression turned ice cold, “We only want to go inside to destroy those Evil Dragon bones. Since you suspect us and made such wild claims, you should understand our Gillian Corps is the biggest Corps here, and even in the entire Kingdom of Eiche!”
“There’s no need to waste time talking to these dirty demihumans!”
“They were the minions of the Evil Dragon anyway!”
“You ugly things, if you dare block our way, don’t blame us!”
Behind the general, over a thousand arcane masters wearing yellow armor started shouting.
The Gillian Corps, was the Corps of Lord Gillian, the biggest subordinate faction of House Gregory, one of the Nine Houses in the Kingdom of Eiche. Apart from Gregory’s Metal Flow Corps, Black Tide Corps and Sea Monster Crops, the Gillian Corps was his fourth largest Corps. This Corps had shamelessly hidden themselves during the war. Normally, this mostly unscatched Corps could easily massacre the ten thousand strong demihuman army.
They were only wary of the Holy Dawn Academy people inside.
However, if they created some commotion, they could reap large profits without actually fighting against those Holy Dawn people.
Those demihumans are to blame for taking all the loot for themselves!
It’s as if a swarm of locusts swept through. Everything of value to an arcane master has already been taken by them. There are not even any useful metal shards left!
They not only ate the meat and bones, they even licked the pan dry!
The plan worked so perfectly at first. Our well-preserved Gillian Corps would definitely become the number one Corps!
......
The few Corps generals looked grim and revealed killing intent.
Getting seen through by those crude demihumans and the temptation of huge profits made them lose their rational. In their minds, they would even try to kill those Holy Dawn people if they had to.
