Chapter 35: Mas Strikes, The Might of the Royal Naga
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This Trun Kingdom was really daring. One had to know that the Storm Empire was a country that advocated freedom and strictly prohibited slavery. As a subsidiary empire of this colossus, it actually wanted to capture this sea demon Siren?
Moreover, the purpose of the Trun Kingdom issuing such a sky-high reward was already revealed. It was to attract the mercenary cannon fodder who had been absorbed by greed.
Obviously, from the very beginning, the Trun Kingdom had no intention of letting these cannon fodder leave alive. It could even be said that even if they really brought the corpse of the Leader of the Big Murlocs back to receive the reward, the Trun Kingdom would probably still renege on it and not buy it at all.
“This Trun Kingdom is really good. However, they actually plotted against me. Then they shall reap the fruits of their own actions!” A cold glint flashed across Mas’ eyes as he thought to himself.
However, the sudden appearance of this Siren was enough to make the treacherous Trun Kingdom suffer.
Under the sea demons’ sad singing, many of the pikemen were already out of their wits.
The mercenaries who had escaped death were like walking corpses as they approached the Spear Legion aimlessly.
As one of the three commanders of the army, Mas was more or less affected. However, as an advanced Level 4 professional, he could still barely resist.

He looked at the beautiful Siren Sea Demon on the lake, his eyes filled with greed.
Indeed, the true purpose of their trip was as Mas had guessed. The king of the Trun Kingdom had already given him an order that no matter how many sacrifices were made, they must capture sea demon Siren secretly.
One had to know that although the Storm Empire did not allow slavery on the surface, no one said that slaves could not be sent to the black market for auction.
If they could capture sea demon Siren, no matter how high the level, once it was auctioned on a famous black market, it would cost at least 20 million gold coins, not to mention sea demon Siren who was obviously not weaker than a Level 3. As long as they could capture it and sell it, it would be equivalent to three years of taxes in the Trun Kingdom.
There was a saying in capitalism that people would take risks as long as they had 50% of the profits. If they could obtain 100% of the profits, they would dare to trample all the laws in the world. If they could obtain 300% of the profits, they would dare to commit any forbidden crimes. They would even risk being hanged if they were discovered.

It was also because of this that the king of the Trun Kingdom took the risk and risked the rules set by the Storm Empire to capture the sea demon Siren with monstrous benefits.
After all, no one could resist the temptation of money.
“After this battle, the Spear Legion of the Trun Kingdom is completely finished.” When Mas saw the appearance of the sea demon, he sneered.
Why was sea demon Siren worth so much? The scariest part was that no matter how high the level of the sea demons were, they could sing such a bewitching song that was no less than a mage’s spiritual control.
Although the five Big Murlocs were heavily injured and were on the verge of death, with their beast forms, they still had the strength to fight.
The anaesthetic effect on the Leader of the Big Murlocs would not last long, but the defeat of the Spear Legion of the Trun Kingdom was inevitable.
Meanwhile,, the actual situation at the scene was exactly as Mas had guessed. In less than three minutes, the Leader of the Big Murlocs was indeed awake. Hearing the familiar singing, the Leader of the Big Murlocs was furious.
He charged towards the commander of the Spear Legion, Mars.
Could an advanced Level 4 human armed to the teeth be able to withstand an advanced Level 6 Leader of the Big Murlocs wielding a Level 6 Mithril Trident?
The answer was obvious. No!
The huge fishtail swayed along with the body of the Leader of the Big Murlocs, leaving deep ravines on the muddy ground.
When Mars saw the Leader of the Big Murlocs charging towards him aggressively, his eyes clearly showed the fear that a creature should have, but he did not escape. Instead, he took down the giant shield and spear on his back and assumed a battle stance.
Why did Mars not run?
Not to mention whether Mars could outrun the Leader of the Big Murlocs who was as fast as a warhorse, with a few dozen kilograms worth of alchemical items on his back, if the king of the Trun Kingdom knew that he had run down a thousand men from the Spear Legion and fled like a cowardly rat, not to mention him, even his family would be sent to the gallows.
Mars was very wise. Under his instincts and rationality, he had chosen rationality, but he had completely misjudged the difference in strength between himself and the Leader of the Big Murlocs.
The Leader of the Big Murlocs rushed in front of Mars in less than ten seconds, brandishing this attack with all his strength. With just this one strike, Mars’ huge shield was instantly smashed into pieces, and he himself was also smashed into meat paste by this huge inertia.
Seeing the death of their leader, Mars, the surviving pikemen of the army were thrown into chaos.
They had completely lost the will to resist and could only focus on escaping helplessly.
But how could they outrun this Big Murloc?
The five heavily injured Big Murlocs were like trapped beasts as they pursued the spearmen of the Trun Kingdom.
On one side were the high-spirited magical beasts, and on the other side were the defeated human legions.
When the two came into contact, the result was obvious.
This was practically a one-sided slaughter.
The remaining pikemen died one after another. As they watched each other fall one by one beside them, their hearts crumbled. Under the bewitchment of the song of Siren, more and more soldiers turned into mindless puppets that began to attack others.
The outcome of the battle had been decided the moment Mars died.
However, that was only if nothing else happened.
For example, even if Mas did not make a move, Mas would definitely not let these Big Murlocs go.
Not to mention anything else, just the corpses of nine intermediate Level 5 and high-level Level 6 Leader of the Big Murlocs were extremely important alchemy materials.
Furthermore, Mas did not intend to let go of this sea demon Siren.
Siren was extremely valuable in his eyes. Of course, Mas had not captured it for sale.
It was for its tears. According to Dyson’s notes, Siren’s tears were an elementary Level 8 alchemy item.
Of course, this did not mean that Siren was extremely powerful.
It was because sea demons were extremely rare to begin with. Additionally, sea demons would only shed tears when they were extremely sad. Moreover, there was only a small bottle of tears.
There were even some Sirens who would never shed tears in their entire lives. Because of this, the tears of sea demons were extremely rare among alchemy items.
“Walter, Harry, wake up!” Mas shouted to wake the two who were almost charmed.
“The two of you can work together with the elementary Level 3 sea demon Siren under the Red Crystal Gargoyle’s uniform, right?” Mas turned his head and looked at the two of them who were dreaming on the Red Crystal Gargoyle.
“Boss, don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong,” Harry immediately promised.
“Boss, I guarantee with my head that nothing will go wrong,” Walter swore again.
When Mas heard their guarantee, he nodded. If the two of them, together with the Red Crystal Gargoyle, whose strength was comparable to a Level 5 occupation, were unable to take down this Level 3 sea demon Siren, then their abilities were truly questionable.
“Now!” Mas grabbed the Red Crystal Gargoyle’s waist and swooped down.
Mas only had one target, and that was the Leader of the Big Murlocs who still had strength left.
As long as they could successfully kill the other party, the five heavily injured Murloc would naturally not be a problem.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Leader of the Big Murlocs, Mas summoned two Royal Nagas from the sky.
Two royal Nagas descended from the sky, even the Leader of the Big Murlocs was stunned.
The two royal Nagas opened their mouths at the same time and began to gather their strength. In less than ten seconds, the water element gathered in their mouths and formed two spiraling puddles that sprayed at the Leader of the Big Murlocs.
The two water cannons were like sharp water blades, almost without any obstruction, easily piercing through the unguarded Leader of the Big Murlocs, leaving two terrifying huge wounds on its abdomen!
