Trish agreed. After he became a Greater Demon, he thought he would have an absolute advantage over human Magic Shooters. At least he wouldn't have to worry about Magic Shooters below level nine. If it wasn't for the Winged Skeleton teasing him, he wouldn't know how powerful human Magic Shooters were.
This time, it was two against one. If he had to fight against two in the future, he would end up in a miserable state.
Salin gave Trish some pointers, and then began to pack up. There were more than 1300 captives, and it was impossible to equip them with Skeleton Warhorses. Salin took out his equipment and let his subordinates assemble a chariot to transport these captives. After all, they wouldn't be ambushed like this after entering the Bitter Water Prefecture.
One of Qin Yin's elite battalions had been badly battered in a small town on the border of the Bitter Water Prefecture Kingdom. A thousand heavy cavalry, two thousand light cavalry, and more than four thousand infantrymen died in battle. The worst thing was that the commander of the battalion had died in battle, and the Archmages accompanying the army, as well as the five great mages, had all died.
After choosing a temporary Battalion General from the Flag Commander, everyone retreated to the north dejectedly. The chariots were still clearing the way in front. This time, the alchemy crossbows were already set up. Several angles were blocked to prevent flying targets from being unable to resist.
There was only one level-four Magic Shooter left in the army. He was originally in charge of logistics in the rear, but now he was transferred to the center. The autumn wind blew. More than ten thousand troops advanced slowly in the wilderness, looking very desolate.
After entering Qin Yin's territory, there were tall hills in front of them. The army adjusted their formation and passed through the gap between two low peaks. At that moment, in the forest in the distance, there was an earth-shattering explosion. Countless giant trees flew into the air, and the green leaves were torn into dust by the strong wind.
The thick smell of blood rushed out for dozens of miles. On the chariots in front, the soldiers became very nervous. The crossbowmen immediately put their fingers on the crossbow, and the magic apprentices activated the magic arrays on the alchemy crossbows without hesitation.
"Load the arrows, load the arrows!" The officers shouted. The troops slowly stopped. The heavy cavalry quickly put on the outermost layer of armor, and all the soldiers with crossbows started to load the crossbows.
Qin Yin's people reacted very quickly. This was also a professional army. In less than three minutes, the entire army had turned into a porcupine. This was also because they had been provoked by the Winged Skeleton. Everyone was afraid of encountering that terrifying creature again.
The hills in front of them were flat and covered with giant trees. In the forest, a giant creature charged towards Qin Yin's army. It had two heads, and blood spurted from the back of its neck. It was more than ten meters tall, and its body was covered with giant metallic scales.
The two heads were human faces, with a single horn growing from each of them. Their faces were covered in black patterns, and between the patterns, blood was seeping out, as if someone had peeled off their skin. The creature burst forth from the forest and charged towards Qin Yin's army. In the blink of an eye, it had already covered a distance of several hundred meters.
"Get ready!" Qin Yin's officer's voice trembled. They didn't know where this strange creature came from, but they were instinctively afraid. However, all soldiers understood one thing. Only when they gathered their strength would they be the strongest. If they fled in all directions, they would have to rely on luck to survive.
On the twelve chariots, twelve alchemy crossbows took the lead. Two meter long alchemy arrows were shot out. With low-level sorcerers and apprentices controlling them, the twelve arrows shot towards the monster as if they had eyes.
These alchemy arrows were more than two meters long, and they were expensive to make. They were specially made to deal with experts above Rank 7. With a wave of its arm, the monster grabbed the 12 giant arrows and crushed the metal shafts of the arrows into smithereens.
Arrows flew everywhere, but the fear of the soldiers didn't affect their movements. In the blink of an eye, the monster was within a hundred meters of them, and the soldiers with crossbows all fired.
Roar!
The monster opened its two large mouths and spat out a thick cloud of black smoke. This black smoke instantly enveloped the light cavalry at the front and continued to spread.
Behind the thick smoke, the monster leaped and jumped into the formation of Qin Yin's army. Then, he opened his big hands and randomly grabbed the soldiers. The soldiers in his hands were directly thrown into his two mouths and chewed.
Kill!
The heavy cavalry on the flanks were scared to death, but they still instinctively raised their lances and charged. The light cavalry at the front were all lying on the ground. The thick smoke was clearly poisonous.
Qin Yin's cavalry crashed into the monster's body and turned into a mess of flesh and blood. The monster didn't look strong, and the back of its neck was still bleeding. But the heavy cavalry and their lances seemed to have crashed into a mountain.
Roar …
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and their hair stood on end. The monster jumped between the soldiers, and every time it stretched out its hand, it would grab two soldiers and throw them into its mouth. Its huge mouth was like a bottomless pit.
When the temporary battalion general saw this, he shouted in fear, "Quick! Third Flag Squad, take the sorcerers and run, run! "
He didn't even use the word retreat. According to military law, he was already beheaded. It was just that this temporary Battalion General had never thought that he would survive, so he was already speaking without thinking.
The wound at the back of the monster's neck stopped bleeding, and a third head slowly grew out. Where the wound had been, there seemed to be a head that had been chopped off.
The only Rank 4 sorcerer's face was pale, and he had no intention of running. He looked at the monster in a daze, and his heart was dead.
This is …
The monster looked over and crushed a chariot with one foot. It jumped in front of the Great Mage, and with a wave of its huge palm, the sorcerer subconsciously released his Ice Pattern Armor, but it was crushed by the monster. The grey-robed sorcerer was thrown into the monster's mouth, and before he died, he finally shouted half a sentence, "It's the Black Satan …"
Qin Yin's formation was already in chaos, and not many people heard the sorcerer's words. Even if they did, ordinary people wouldn't know what the Black Satan was.
The deities created by black mages had endless life. As long as there was a believer in black magic, the Black Satan would be immortal. Not to mention one battalion of Qin Yin elites, even ten battalions wouldn't be able to kill this monster. At most, they could rely on powerful equipment and sorcerers to drive it away.
Even if it was blasted to smithereens by numerous Rank 9 High Mages, the Black Satan would be resurrected in the altar of the black mages. Unless all the believers of black magic were killed at the same time, and the soul of the Black Satan was refined into the purest element. Even so, in the future, if someone with evil thoughts thought of the Black Heavens Demon God and made a wish, the Black Heavens Demon God would grow in that person's heart and gradually devour that person.
The horror of black magic was that you could never make all the people in it be good. The darkness in a person's heart was something that even the God of Radiance couldn't completely eliminate.
The third head of the Black Satan kept growing, and every time it ate a person, its injuries would recover a little. The one that had seriously injured the Black Satan was obviously an extremely powerful existence. Even the army of 20,000 couldn't completely heal its injuries.
The 3rd Banner Division was the only light cavalry that had a complete formation. Hearing the order to surrender, the light cavalry led the remaining white-robed sorcerers in the army and fled towards the northeast.
The Blackheavens Demonic God grabbed the stone on the ground and crushed it into hundreds of pieces before throwing it out. These hundreds of stones attacked from behind, and every one of them accurately hit a soldier.
The Black Satan's speed became faster and faster. He charged towards the fleeing cavalry and began a frenzied slaughter.
After being seriously injured, he had been hiding underground, not daring to show his face. It was only when these soldiers passed by that he rushed out from underground, wanting to use the flesh and blood of Qin Yin's soldiers to help him grow a third head.
Lances, heavy swords, javelins, heavy crossbows …
All the weapons that attacked the Black Satan's scales emitted sparks and bounced to the side. The Black Satan's injuries were too severe. Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger to kill these soldiers that had lost their Magic Shooters.
After eating thousands of soldiers, the third head of Black Skies was finally the size of the other two heads. He waved his huge palm, and most of the dead bodies on the ground that he did not manage to eat rolled to the side and stood up one after another.
The speed at which the Black Satan created the headless horsemen was thousands of times faster than the black magicians.
The souls of these soldiers were sealed in their heads, and they wailed in pain. But their bodies grabbed their heads and rode on the nearest warhorses. The warhorses' eyes were already pitch-black, without any other color.
After slaughtering all the soldiers, the Black Satan had two thousand headless horsemen by his side. His three heads swayed as he cautiously looked around. After confirming that the auras of the two humans didn't appear within a hundred miles, he pointed with his finger and ordered the two thousand headless horsemen to head south, while he ran northwest.
The auras of the two thousand headless horsemen should be enough to attract the attention of the two humans.
The Black Satan's figure quickly disappeared into the forest, and the two thousand headless horsemen headed south aimlessly. To the south was the nameless town that they had left, the border of Rex's prefectural country.
Five days later, Marquis Antoshi found out that his army had been completely wiped out in Ferag City in the middle of the Garoulan Empire.
In his temporary marquis residence, Antoshi flew into a rage and smashed everything he could get his hands on.
"Rex! You're ruthless! I'm going to kill you! "
Beside Antoshi, a dwarf in brown clothes opened his eyes, revealing his purple pupils. He looked at Marquis Antoshi, and said, "My Lord, there are only 500 elite soldiers in that town. It's impossible to kill everyone in the 86th camp."
"This is a trap!" Antoshi roared, and said to the dwarf, "According to the images sent by the mages, there was an Archmage Necromancer among the 200 troops that came from Metatlin City. That Archmage Necromancer killed Angie and five other Archmages outside the city. Then, they must have set up an ambush on the retreat route of the 86th camp, and killed everyone. "
"My Lord, the people of Metatlin can't have set up too many soldiers here, right?"
"It must be Rex who set up an ambush in advance, and used those 200 people as bait!" Antoshi was almost going crazy. He had spent so much effort to subdue a Magic Shooter, but he was killed on the battlefield, and in the midst of an army of tens of thousands.
