Chapter 269 – Demon Soldiers (1/2)

The Mega Dragon skull was as big as several buildings combined. With the slightest movement from it, everything rumbled.

Fatty didn’t turn around. He made a quick decision to Earthwalk out of it. Only after returning to the ground with several Earthwalks in a row did he stop his steps while still in high alert.

The entire Sky City seemed to be trembling as well. All of the monsters didn’t dare to utter a sound. However, Fatty waited for a long time without seeing anything come out, so his heart settled down a little.

Thinking for a bit, Fatty took out the Holy Unicorn eggs and hatched them one by one.

Because this was a mission, the results of this hatching didn’t count as pets. In a series of white flashes, ten miniature versions of Holy Unicorns appeared before his eyes.

These original Holy Unicorns were different from the ones that the Holy Unicorn Chief created in the Cloud Ocean, which mainly showed at the horn. The ones in Cloud Ocean had silver horns, while these ten had horns all of a faint golden color.

The ten fellows were only the size of adult dogs. As soon as they emerged, they scurried around Fatty and rubbed against his legs, seemingly very dependent on him.

“Uh-huh. Lord Fatty is gonna be a city lord. I will see if you, Lin Xi, still dare to extort me then.” After playing with the unicorns for a while, Fatty was especially smug about his success. He couldn’t wait to take control of Sky City and ram it right at Black Tortoise City to have his revenge on Lin Xi.

However, after hatching the eggs, there was still a bit left before the mission was complete. Now, Fatty only needed to move the Holy Spirit Island back to Sky City.

“Good boys, after Lord Fatty brings the Holy Spirit Island here, I will lead you guys out to play.” Fatty thought of everything he could but was unable to find a way to bring the ten unicorns with him. In the end, he reluctantly gave up on the idea and prepared to return using the Recall Scroll.

“Hmm?” Just as he was about to tear the scroll, a faint sound reached his ears.

“Someone’s here.” Fatty’s heart jumped. He quickly put away the scroll, hid the unicorns, and snuck towards the direction of the sounds while in Stealth.

The newcomers were at the middle of the mountain slope. The sounds that Fatty had just heard came from the skills they used when they killed a monster.

There were a total of twenty-odd individuals. After easily slaying the monsters on their way, the group headed towards the central area.

From their appearance, these individuals seemed to be monsters. They all wore black armor, each had either one or two horns on their heads and were holding weapons like sabers, spears, axes, and shields. Their attack power was terrifying, as any monster nearby was insta-killed before it could even attack them.

“Have you heard the news? Those trash from Sireid’s group actually lost and let the humans reclaim Storm City,” one of them suddenly spoke.

“Thedeson, don’t gloat over another’s misfortune. Their defeat also puts a great burden on us,” reprimanded a two-horned, who seemed to be the leader.

“Heh, Mighty God of Darkness exhausted his mana to open the gate between the two realms and let us cross over to take over the seven main cities that aren’t under the control of the humans. As long as we reign over those cities, our Demon Army can use them as a springboard to attack the Human Realm. Useless Sireid failed to capture Storm City and even pushed it into the hands of the human, that’s his business. Even if he survives, he will be punished once he returns to the Demon Realm. And our business is to seize Sky City,” another remarked.

“The seven main cities, ahh… Before, three of them used to belong to our Demon Realm.” One licked his lips. “Undead City, Corrupt City, Abyss City. Even since our Demon Realm was defeated in the grand war between demons and humans thousands of years ago, those three main cities are no longer known to the demons.”

“Humph! we shall eventually reclaim them and take over the Human Realm along with them.”

“Alright, don’t recklessly shoot your mouth off. The seven main cities were led by Sky City, which was originally the lair of the Mega Dragon clan. After the holy dragons moved away, the Holy Unicorn clan was put in charge of it. Then, when the God of Light massacred the entire Holy Unicorn clan, this city became ownerless. We’ll accomplish a grand deed once we gain control of it and be rewarded accordingly when we return to the Demon Realm. By then, the other groups will all be below us. Promotion to Demon Generals is not impossible either.”

“Yeah, yeah, that’s right. Captain is right.”

“Heheh, Sky City used to stand atop the other six, but now that it’s hidden in this little knot that the humans don’t know about, our mission is much easier than the others.

……

The more Fatty listened, the more shocked he was. If the contents of this conversation got out, it would definitely raise a huge commotion.

Those were Demon Soldiers. The Demon Realm was finally starting a war against the Human Realm.

However, since they were here to especially take away Sky City, they had violated Fatty’s bottom line.

“Motherf*cker! Whoever you are, if you dare set your eyes on Lord Fatty’s stuff, don’t even think about leaving this place alive.”

Fatty could tell from a glance that these Demon Soldiers were all experts of at least the 5th class enhancement, but shouldn’t exceed the 7th enhancement. Before, when the crack to the Demon Realm opened, Lin Xi once said that the crack wasn’t stable and the few powerful demonic creatures wouldn’t be able to crawl out from it.

After some thought, Fatty silently retreated to higher ground. He had pretty much no chance in a one-on-one, not to mention that the opposing party had over twenty demons.

However, Fatty wasn’t anxious. The Holy Spirit Island – the pivot to control Sky City, wasn’t here, so they had no way to take over Sky City anyway.

Fatty first hid the ten Holy Unicorns away in a very concealed place. These little fellows were still weak. If they were to be discovered, there was a high chance they wouldn’t be able to survive.

Bam! The Plenilune Ballista appeared on the ground. Against so many, Fatty didn’t plan to sneak attack or assassinate. He decided to just kill several first before anything.
