The ground battle has temporarily ended.
The million-strong army of the Black Demon Flag fell completely silent, without a whisper.
The fall of two thousand Mammoth Army soldiers had shocked them tremendously.
Just now, it seemed like the thirty thousand Centaur Army was facing certain doom, about to be trampled into pulp.
But then, almost instantly, the situation reversed, and two thousand invincible Mammoth Warriors suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the battle in the sky continued.
Or rather, Lanling’s performance continued as well; his fifty Chain Arrows continued their frenzied slaughter.
Previously, he couldn’t slaughter the Gryphon Knights of the enemy at will because his bow and arrow had a limited range of six to seven hundred meters at most.
But now, with this special crystal stone power, everything has changed.
His arrows could easily shoot over a thousand meters, and their speed increased tremendously, with more than double the power. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelHub(.)net
Each time, his fifty Chain Arrows fell like torrential rain, effortlessly taking dozens of lives.
Even more frenzied was the three-headed Chimera Beast; this monster surely harbored a twisted and brutal soul, and this slaughter made its blood boil with excitement.
In front of the Black Demon Flag’s Gryphon Knights and Dragonhawk Knights, it was a total game-breaking bug, an unsolvable one.
Its flight speed was three to four times faster than its opponents, and being an energy body, it was completely invulnerable to weapons.
And the flames it spewed were beyond belief, with massive blasts over a hundred meters long.
Constantly igniting the fish oil bombs on the backs of the griffins, causing even more massive casualties.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The fierce explosions in the sky continued, making it seem as if the entire sky was burning, with corpses falling like raindrops.
There was a frenzy of death, a frenzy of being torn to pieces, a frenzy of wailing.
The remaining Griffin Beasts and Dragonhawk Knights desperately fled in all directions.
But just like ordinary cavalry that can’t escape the centaur’s blades, these griffins found it hard to escape the Chimera’s flames and Lanling’s arrows.
The three-headed Chimera’s flight speed was incredibly astounding, and Lanling’s arrows were simply game-breaking!
And so, merely half an hour later.
Aside from the few escaping Gryphon Knights, the 3,500-strong Sky Legion led by Nai Shu was nearly annihilated.
The five hundred Dragonhawk Warriors from Rakshasa City were completely killed, for they held too much honor and refused to flee even if it meant death, like moths to a flame.
The battle in the sky had temporarily ended as well.
Lanling and the three-headed Chimera, one person and one beast, eliminated the entire Sky Legion of the Black Demon Flag.
The entire sky was his magnificent yet bloody performance.
After a long time, the thick smoke in the sky dissipated.
Lanling rode the three-headed Chimera circling in the sky, surrounded by thirteen Samurai riding Griffin Beasts protecting it at the center.
By now, the briefly unconscious Nai Shu had awakened.
He first glanced at the ground, where Mammoth Warriors lay scattered, motionless, their fate unknown.
Then, looking up to the sky, not a single griffin or dragonhawk remained. Instead, the ground was littered with countless charred bodies.
Both of his ace forces were completely destroyed!
Now, he had only a ground army of nearly 1.2 million left.
At this moment, genuine fear rose in his heart for the first time, along with the memory of his fiancee, Princess Sha Yan’s words: If you lose, don’t come back, just end it yourself.
This was a battle he couldn’t afford to lose.
Not even the entire Black Demon Family could afford to lose it.
Indeed, he’s lost two ace forces, but... he still had a million-strong army.
A 1.2 million-strong army could surely drown Lanling’s 30,000 Centaur Army to death, right? Maybe?
Taking a deep breath, and swallowing the bloody taste in his mouth, Nai Shu said with a mix of grief and indignation: "Brothers of the Black Demon Flag, I’ve been forced to the edge of a cliff. If we lose this battle, I’m doomed, and the Black Demon Family is finished too."
His voice boomed across the entire sky, the millions of soldiers spread across dozens of miles heard it clearly.
"In this battle, I made numerous mistakes," Nai Shu said sadly, "I underestimated Lanling’s power, overestimated the Mammoth Tribe’s combat prowess, leading to the annihilation of our two ace forces. This is my responsibility!"
"I... have no retreat, and neither does the Black Demon Family," Nai Shu exclaimed sorrowfully. "You recognize the Black Demon Flag Family as the leader, but you are not our family’s servants. So, if you leave now, I will not blame you; I will understand!"
As he said this, two lines of tears slowly rolled down Nai Shu’s face.
The faces of the million-strong army present were stirred.
"But, I will not retreat. I will fight to the end representing the Black Demon Flag Family, I will fight to the end for Your Majesty the Rakshasa King, even if it means being torn to pieces!" Nai Shu’s voice was filled with grief but determination. "Brothers of the Black Demon Flag, if you are willing to follow me, the Black Demon Flag Family will be forever grateful to you!"
The people of the Barbaric Wilderness are inherently brave and unafraid of death. At this point, pushed by Nai Shu, who would dare to leave on their own?
Though many chieftains and soldiers wanted to leave the battlefield, seeing Lanling’s terrifying slaughter of the Sky Legion, and the formidable combat prowess of the Centaurs.
In The Barbaric Wilderness, reputation surpasses everything, and anyone who chooses to flee will have no place to stand.
If taking advantage of the chaos, everyone fled together, then it would be fine.
