Chapter 744: Overpowering with Strength
September 25, 2017
The sudden appearance of the real Black Demon Cavalry caught everyone off guard, including Liuguan's cavalry and even Liuguan himself.
Liuguan had to admit that after easily defeating an army of six hundred thousand, his ego had gotten slightly inflated. Otherwise, he would have been more cautious, and he wouldn't have been so unprepared for this encounter with the genuine Black Demon Cavalry.
However, being caught off guard by the Black Demon Cavalry was one thing; whether he could hold them off was another matter entirely.
This Black Demon Cavalry was no ordinary foe. Even if Liuguan had been prepared, he might not have been able to withstand their charge. He realized this as soon as he saw their attributes, especially those of the leading Black Demon General.
Black Demon Cavalry (Demonic Cavalry)
Strength: 55
Unit Traits: Demonic Infection/Demonic Aura Enhancement
Demonic Infection: Soldiers slain by them have a one-fifth chance of becoming Black Demon Cavalry.
Demonic Aura Enhancement: Attack and defense power increased by 100%, and there is a chance to increase strength by a certain amount when slaying enemies.
Black Demon General (Wu Yanba)
Status: Half-Demonized/Half-Demonized Weapon Control
Abilities:
Strength: 99, Politics: 0, Strategy: 0, Command: 80
Demonic Talent: Demonic Aura Enhancement (Unique), Demonic Infection
Demonic Aura Enhancement (Unique): Strength increases by one point for every 500 kills.
Demonic Weapon (???)
Description: Origin unknown.
Effects: Demonization, ???, ???
These attributes belonged to the Black Demon Cavalry, the Black Demon General, and the Demonic Weapon.
Aside from the Demonic Weapon's attributes being a mystery, the other two were undoubtedly formidable and challenging.
Whether it was the Black Demon Cavalry's Demonic Infection or the Black Demon General's strength of 99, which was a significant challenge for Liuguan, they were both formidable foes. Although he had anticipated encountering strong enemies, he never imagined they would be this powerful.
However, now was not the time for awe; Liuguan quickly regained his composure and launched his counterattack.
Facing the Black Demon Cavalry, Liuguan did not choose to retreat, nor did he send his Blood Knights to engage them directly. Instead, he mobilized over forty thousand raiders and fought against the Black Demon Cavalry.
Liuguan was well aware that his Blood Knights were no match for the enemy at this time.
His 1,800 Blood Knights had not officially joined the Blood Bath Legion, so they did not possess the Legion's unique trait, Blazing Battle. This meant their strength was only 45, while the enemy's strength was 55. It was nearly impossible for the Blood Knights to use Bloodthirsty Rampage to enhance their strength, so deploying them against the Black Demon Cavalry was not a wise decision.
In this situation, Liuguan could only rely on his cavalry, utilizing their numerical advantage against the Black Demon Cavalry.
Liuguan had never imagined that he, who had always focused on elite troops, would one day need to employ a human wave tactic in battle.
What made it even more unpleasant for Liuguan was that, in using this tactic, he inevitably experienced the same nauseating feeling he had inflicted on others when they faced his elite troops.
Facing enemies of far superior quality to his own soldiers, Liuguan felt incredibly stifled.
Against the Black Demon Cavalry, Liuguan had no choice but to slowly wear them down, utilizing the numerical advantage of his forces.
Liuguan had never liked this style of fighting, and what made it worse was that during the battle, although he managed to achieve some results due to his exceptional command and the prowess of his Flame Character Battalion, it came at a heavy cost. In half an hour, they killed several hundred Black Demon Cavalry, but Liuguan's side suffered even more casualties, with thousands dead in that time, and many of them also became demonized.
Liuguan struggled to accept this situation. When had he ever fought a battle with such devastating casualties? What made it even more frustrating was that this Black Demon Cavalry was different from the ones he had encountered before. Their commander possessed notable intelligence, and under his leadership, the Black Demon Cavalry, upon entering the battlefield, immediately began searching for Liuguan, the commander. It was clear they were prepared to execute the very tactic Liuguan was most familiar with: decapitation.
This was the first time Liuguan had experienced having his own tactics used against him.
Facing the Black Demon General, Liuguan made the same choice he had made against previous foes: avoid the sharp edge of their blade!
He had no other option. The disparity in strength was too great, and the enemy possessed a Demonic Weapon, which made it uncertain if Liuguan could defeat them. It wasn't that Liuguan was afraid; he needed to stay and command his forces.
Facing such a formidable enemy, if Lu HaiKong did not personally command this army, there was no way to match them, and it would be easy for them to be defeated by the opponent.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong could only try to conceal himself and then command his legions to gradually wear down the enemy's Black Demon Cavalry.
Although Lu HaiKong's battle was somewhat difficult, under his skilled command and the outstanding performance of the Flame Battalion members under his command, despite heavy casualties, the scales of victory were gradually tipping in Lu HaiKong's favor.
However, just as Lu HaiKong thought the battle was about to stabilize and he was about to slowly defeat this legion, suddenly, a mad demonic aura surged in his battle formation.
As Lu HaiKong sensed this aura, his face changed drastically. With his extensive knowledge and experience, he immediately realized that this aura was definitely far beyond a strength of 99. Recalling the Black Demon General's Demonic Talent, Lu HaiKong had a bad premonition. Could that guy's strength have reached 100?
As this premonition arose, Lu HaiKong's keen senses detected that during the previous surge of terror, a pair of eyes seemed to have locked onto him.
He was exposed!
Just as Lu HaiKong realized this, the Black Demon General turned towards him, a cold smile forming on his lips. Then, with a flourish, he raised the Demonic Weapon in his hand and charged towards Lu HaiKong's location.
In a flash, the Black Demon General's strength reached 100, and his combat power became even more terrifying.
The Demon Weapon in his hand glowed with a black demonic light, and within a range of two meters wide and ten meters long, over a hundred people were instantly slashed to death by his single strike.
"Damn it! There's no way to besiege a strength of 100!"
Seeing this, Lu HaiKong's face turned ashen. He quickly ordered his raiders to retreat in an orderly manner, or else they would all be killed by the Black Demon General's relentless strikes.
As Lu HaiKong commanded the retreat, the Wilderness Axe in his hand also gradually lit up. A surge of purple inner energy coursed through his body, and since he had already been exposed, Lu HaiKong no longer intended to hide. Instead, he fully prepared to engage in battle at any moment.
As Lu HaiKong's inner energy surged, his aura also burst forth, and the Black Demon General locked onto him even more firmly.
This was not a big deal, but in the next instant, the Black Demon General disappeared from Lu HaiKong's sight.
This sudden disappearance made Lu HaiKong's scalp tingle, and a strong sense of crisis erupted within him. In that instant, Lu HaiKong directly activated the Purple Aura Ascension, the Savage Force, and the Serpent Dragon Force simultaneously, turning around and swinging his axe without hesitation.
Almost at the same time as Lu HaiKong turned and swung his axe, his axe collided with the Demon Weapon in the Black Demon General's hand.
In an instant, a terrifying force surged towards Lu HaiKong. He swung his axe with all his might, but against the Black Demon General, it seemed like a feeble strike. The Black Demon General easily sent him flying over ten meters with a single slash.
"I thought Lu HaiKong, the scourge of the Grasslands, was a formidable figure. Turns out he's just as weak!"
With a single strike, Lu HaiKong was sent flying, and the Black Demon General's face was filled with arrogance and a hint of madness.
"Since you're such a useless waste, you don't deserve to live. I'll kill you, take your head, invade your territory, and slaughter your people!"
As he spoke, the Black Demon General charged towards Lu HaiKong again, his Demon Weapon ready to strike and take Lu HaiKong away.
Just then, an aura even stronger than his erupted.
Lu HaiKong swung his Wilderness Axe, and it collided with the Demon Weapon in the Black Demon General's hand. However, this time, it was the Black Demon General who was sent flying.
The Black Demon General's face, besides being dazed, also showed a look of confusion. He couldn't understand how Lu HaiKong had become so powerful in an instant.
Of course, he didn't know that in these few moments, Lu HaiKong had activated a one-time Divine Weapon, making a huge leap in strength.
This one-time Divine Weapon was Lu HaiKong's ace in the hole, obtained during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Besides its unknown functions, it was known to increase strength by 10 and last for three hours. In other words, when Lu HaiKong activated this one-time Divine Weapon, his strength value directly soared to 100.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this. This feeling of breaking through 100 strength is so alluring!"
Lu HaiKong spoke, his eyes narrowing as he coldly stared at the Black Demon General. "I've used my ace, and you can only repay me with your head!"
As he spoke, Lu HaiKong charged forward...
