GDK 542: You Will Call Me Daddy!
“It indeed is useless. Scared me for a second there, I actually thought that there was something to it!” Yeki sneered as he looked on at his troops pouring into the rock forest.
“Third and Fourth squadron, advance and take down War Demon Valley in one blow! After this day, War Demon Valley will be ours!” the Triops shouted excitedly, licking the corners of his lips.
At his order, the numerous forces of Venomfang Castle, some mounted on giant, oddly-shaped abyssal creatures and arranged in neat, tidy lines, marched right into the stone forest.
Zajya, the commander of Shadow Warriors, kept his cold eyes fixed upon the frontmost forces of Venomfang Castle charging at War Demon Valley as he munched on an arm coated in fair, white skin. Blood overflowed from his mouth. It was a horrific scene.
The stone forest, situated between the two opposing forces, occupied a vast area. It didn’t appear to have caused any congestion even with thousands of enemies combatants pouring in. Watching as more and more enemies had entered the stone forest, those in the frontline almost arriving at the city wall, Crosius repressed the fury in his heart and glared at Han Shuo. When the enemy was almost within reach, he gnashed his teeth and commanded, “Get ready! Once the enemy is within range, hit them with all you got.”
“Mister Han Shuo, the enemy has already reached the city gates. Isn’t this the time to activate it?” Brayshaw, the eccentric alien, could be considered as having kept his composure, seeing as he still found the time to ask Han Shuo when Crosius, Brakyah, and those people no longer harbored any hope in Han Shuo.
“Yeah Han Shuo, perhaps it’s time to activate the magical matrix?” Jasper reasoned anxiously as she looked at him with ever-growing eyes.
Of all the people in War Demon Valley, Jasper was likely the only one who truly cared for Han Shuo. It was precisely because she cared for Han Shuo that she held onto the hope that Han Shuo could make some contribution and truly prove himself useful, make all those people question how they could have ever taken Han Shuo as worthless and as a scoundrel who availed himself of the situation to plunder through the resources of War Demon Valley!
“Forget about it. I will not count on this so-called magical matrix. I only hope that when those Shadow Warriors charge over, Mister Han Shuo will help me take one of them down. I would be content with just that,” Crosius shook his head and gently sighed with disappointment scribbled all over his face.
Even now, Han Shuo still had on that infuriatingly punchable, unruffled expression. He put on a smile, gazed at the party, and explained, “Those who have entered the stone forest are low-level existences playing the role of pawns, cannon fodder. There may be a lot of them, but I believe they can be taken care of without breaking a sweat given War Demon Valley’s current defense capabilities. The energy of my magical matrix will not be wasted on this garbage!”
“I want to see just how much power your so-called magical matrix can actually exhibit!” Faced against enemy forces with practically undefeatable strength, Brakyah no longer had any hope to come out of the battle alive. As he thought that he would die in the end anyway, he was no longer afraid of Han Shuo and openly revealed his resentment and anger towards Han Shuo.
“You will see!” Han Shuo replied with a tranquil smile. Han Shuo found it unnecessary to bicker with anyone who already considered himself a dead person.
As they conversed, the very first batch of combatants sent into the stone forest by Venomfang Castle as expendables had made it past the stone forest and reached the fore of War Demon Valley’s city walls. These enemies who carried no climbing tools with them whatsoever, suddenly began secreting sticky substances on their hands and feet. Under Han Shuo’s surprised gaze, those forces of Venomfang Castle rapidly scaled the walls.
“Wow. Abyss realm truly is remarkable. No wonder they we don’t see them with any ladders or hooks!” Han Shuo exclaimed in astonishment as he watched those low-level abyssal creatures climb up the walls with nothing but their limbs, much like primates climbing up trees.
“Kill!” yelled Crosius, wearing a gloomy face.
Thousands of soldiers simultaneously took action at his command! Large boulders, arrows, nets tied with hooks, and other simple and crude but extremely destructive defensive measures, were abruptly activated, falling on enemy combatants below as they tried to scale the city wall.
Blood spurts, broken bones, and dismembered corpses. There would be hundreds of low-level abyssal creatures that fell off the wall as a result of the shower of boulders and arrows, with their lives eternally washed away between heaven and earth at any given moment.
A backwards and barbaric world would usually be a cruel and bloody world. And the Abyss realm was no exception!
In the Abyss realm technological advances were few and far between. The populace had spent their days in massacres since the dawn of their existence. In every great battle, a great number of precious lives would be squandered. As lives were lost, more and more warriors would grow even more savage and ruthless.
