Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Exciting
 

“The strong personal strength of Captain Lucius, combined with the qualitative increase brought by the ‘Royal Blood Brew’… is enough to tear open a huge gap frontally.

With the secret assistance of Jane, it’s certain we could tear the gap even larger.”

The two armies collided head-on.

However, Han Dong didn’t join the aerial fight, and even deliberately avoided battle.

But still, a Blood Descendant bat sought out Han Dong.

He swung the “Raven Crosser” wand directly in his hand, striking the surface of the bat… the spot hit by the wand immediately turned into black sand, which completely disintegrated in less than a second.

“Elder Miz Crow… hide inside me.”

“Yes!”

Although he’s a three-headed Crowman, he was able to transform into a basic crow form.

The crow transformed by Miz Crow had a ring of purple-black feathers in the neck area, used for identity recognition.

He quickly burrowed his body into the Bone Feather Armor, temporarily hiding.

“Messenger sir, do you plan to go straight to the Count? Diving into the enemy’s rear isn’t a good strategy… if the Count has hidden anything in the rear, I, alone, will find it difficult to protect you.

It’s better to stay in our army for a while.

At present, we completely suppress the other side in momentum, and our number of demons is also larger. With a few knight’s high spirits, we would certainly be able to slowly restrain the opponent, forcing them to retreat back to Scarlet Manor.

At that time, it would be better for us to attack Scarlet Manor together.”

Elder Miz Crow is considered Han Dong’s half-mentor, and he bestowed the “life-series black magic” onto the crowman tribe. Now, he was suggesting that Han Dong would accept this idea.

However, Han Dong was determined, or rather this part of the plan was unchangeable.

“Elder, don’t worry about this. I’m prepared to ‘dive into the enemy’s rear’.”

Look below… Captain Lucius has torn open a giant, unfixable crack, leading our ghouls to invade entirely.

It has disrupted the enemy’s original formation to some extent, forcing the nearby Barons to use their own soldiers to fill the gap.

If we were to dive into the enemy’s rear, the Baron’s troops would simply not have the capacity to target me.

If they were tempted to deal with me, their formation would go into disarray, resulting in rapid attrition, thus fulfilling the second victory condition for the “Land Deed War.”

And, the Count’s arrogance as a mature deviant demon, coupled with the geographical advantage of the Scarlet Manor, he would presume to be able to kill me alone… in the case of ensuring that the formation does not get disrupted, he would surely come after me alone.

On another note.

I have also developed a member of my own in the Scarlet Manor. According to the information she shared, the current Scarlet Manor has sent out all its troops.

Even the Count’s own Guard Army has launched a full attack… only some ordinary Blood Descendant attendants remained in the manor, they pose no threat to us.”

Miz Crow nodded, but the elder’s real concern wasn’t about the few ‘minor issues’ with diving into the enemy’s rear.

It’s…

“Finally, I would like to ask you… can you really stand against this Count by yourself?”

“I’m 60% prepared, the remaining 40% relates to the part of the Count’s strength that hasn’t been shown yet… with your help, Elder, I’m confident I will be able to confront the Count head-on.”

“Alright! The old crow will follow you to dive into the enemy’s rear.”

At this moment.

The bone wings were fully spread.

As the two armies clashed, Han Dong bolted forward at full speed, a dark shadow piercing right through the swarm of bats of Scarlet Manor.

Before long, Han Dong had reached the rearmost part of the Scarlet Army, where the Count and his Guard Army were positioned.

An expanse of darkness.

The ‘Guard Army’ of Scarlet Manor, dressed in heavy black armor and armed with large swords, answering directly to the Count…they were also referred to as the ‘Count’s First Followers’.

Each synchronized step forward in their heavy armor resounded deeply. Their marching spirit was strong, far surpassing the level of the Baron’s forces up front. They were completely unaffected by the defeat of the head attendant.

Han Dong had a premonition.

If his own army broke through the Baron’s line and clashed head-on with the Count’s Guard Army… the situation might become quite dire. Even a victory would likely come at a great cost.

“There are three Demons hidden within…Demons personally infected, nurtured, and trained by the Count, transforming them into Scarlet Demons.

As expected, victory wouldn’t be so easily achieved.

The majority of Scarlet Manor’s strength lay within this army.

The Count, producer of the ‘Movable Deed’, invaded others’ territories at will, picking out powerful individuals who fit his standards from various villages, initiating them through a first supporter ceremony and incorporating them into his Guard Army.

Over time, he amassed a terrifying military force.”

Han Dong cast a glance towards the Count at the center of the Guard Army.

“Count, as for the matter of subordinates, let them settle it amongst themselves… I have a few things I’d like to discuss with you in private, would you happen to have some spare time?”

As the question ended,

Han Dong unfurled his bone wings once more, speeding towards the Scarlet Manor at the fastest pace.

“What does this young Lord plan on doing… recklessly running into my manor?”

A centurion revealing his fangs by the Count’s side spoke in a deep voice: “Count… shall we head back to the manor and directly annihilate this Lord?”

“This young Lord, having highly integrated Crowman characteristics, is skilled at flight and extremely fast, there’s also a chance he has spatial abilities… If we get distracted because of him and our formation is disrupted, that wouldn’t be very good.

Res, you proceed with the Guard Army, suppress the enemy forces in full.

I’ll go have a bit of ‘fun’ with this young lord. If there’s a chance, I’ll kill him directly…”

“Yes, sir!”

The centurion named Res, who was also a Demon, seemed from an aura standpoint to be even stronger than some Barons. Temporarily taking the Count’s place, he ordered the Guard Army to press on.

Meanwhile, the Count let out a maniacal laugh, leading three distinctly-attuned Demon pets back to the Manor, ready to play a game of hide and seek with Han Dong.

Taking along three pets meant that the Count fully regarded Han Dong as an equal.

The successive failures in the war filled the Count with fury, shock, and a strong sense of stimulation…

The scarlet tongue licked around his wide-open, bloody mouth all in one circle.

He rubbed the ‘Cone-shaped eye protector’ over his eyes,

All of these unexpected incidents provided the Count a new, previously unexperienced ‘thrill’… This sort of life-threatening thrilling situation hadn’t occurred in a long time.

Currently, the Count who was returning to the manor was holding a red crystal between his fingers.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be the previously ravaged Dumps, who had fled in his original form of the ‘Blood Crystal Segmented Worm’…

“No matter what means you, this young lord, might hide, today you will die here… Harvesting a small Land Deed, I would be far from at a loss.

Hahaha… Such a long-awaited thrill, I look forward to more unexpected stimulation from you, Lord Nicholas.”
