Three thousand versus more than six hundred, including the infamous three hundred Death Guards of the Calamity Church. The difference in strength was completely disproportionate. The remaining six hundred people in the valley had long since been destined to die. It was just that they needed to delay it for a few more minutes.
Human lives became cheap. Along with ear-piercing screams of misery, mercenaries of different skin colors and races slowly collapsed into pools of blood. Strands of aura that were hard to see with the naked eye rose from the bodies of the recently deceased and gathered at a corner of the valley.
As the Hand of Darkness, Han Shuo was extremely happy. He sat cross-legged in an area where no one could spy on him, allowing the three yin demons to observe the situation. He happily absorbed the strange energy that had yet to dissipate. Han Shuo, who was in the Bloodlust realm, was restless and restless, but was firmly suppressed by reason.
Time passed as lives were lost. Of the six hundred experts guarding the mithril mine in the valley, only two hundred remained. Among them, the mages were still tirelessly casting all kinds of magic. Of course, their targets were the well-dressed mercenaries. Not a single one of them wasted any more magic on the Death Guards.
Adam Menlo and his family's elite troops had arrived earlier. They only attacked Tanai's Laureton's group with magic crossbows from afar, watching the remaining members of Tanai's family being slaughtered without lifting a finger.
It wasn't that they weren't willing, but that they didn't dare!
The elites of the House of Menlo who could fly were all riding flying magic beasts. This group of elites was the foundation of the House of Menlo's survival. It was a pity that their numbers were too few, far from Tanai and Laureton's Cairo mercenary band. Although Adam Menlo's heart was bleeding as the members of the House of Menlo were killed one by one, he didn't dare approach them to save them. This was because he deeply understood that if he landed, what awaited them would be a devastating blow.
He was waiting, waiting for Florida and Katar's men to arrive and surround Laureton's group from outside the valley. He was waiting for more members who could only travel on land to gather, and then he would explode his accumulated hatred on Laureton's group.
"Father, save me!" In the middle of the valley, a middle-aged man who looked vaguely similar to Adam Menlo was riding on an armored black bull. He was anxiously looking at Adam Menlo, who was circling the valley on his flamingo. He let out a miserable cry.
In front of this middle-aged man, Laureton gripped his Berserker's Battle Axe and grinned as he surrounded him. The other berserkers beside Laureton were also snickering as they worked together with Laureton to keep an eye on him. Laureton wasn't in a hurry to kill him. Instead, he kept looking up at the sky, as if waiting for Adam Menlo to approach.
However, after waiting for a while, Laureton only saw Adam Menlo's back turn, his shoulders trembling slightly. It looked like Adam Menlo's heart was twitching, but he had made the right decision.
"No!" This middle-aged man screamed miserably as he was torn apart by Laureton's battle axe. His scream before his death caused Adam Menlo, who was on the flamingo in the distance, to almost lose his footing.
The dull sound of iron hooves could finally be heard clearly. With Florida and Katar in the lead, a large number of mercenaries suddenly charged into the center of the valley. Adam Menlo, who was enduring the pain of being cut by blades, was the first to charge into the center of the valley with bloodshot eyes. Fighting aura shot out from the long spear in his hand, clashing with the flames spewed out from the flamingo and taking a few lives in an instant.
An even more desperate battle was taking place in Tanai. As a spectator, Han Shuo silently absorbed the murderous aura and coldly watched Tanai's hellish battle to the death, desperately suppressing his strong desire to participate.
Time flew by quickly. The already evenly matched battle caused the eyes of several parties to turn bloodshot. This time, ninety percent of the powers in the Valley of Sunshine had participated. Whether it was for the mithril mine, for the power of the Valley of Sunshine, or for the hatred that had accumulated over the years, they all erupted in the valley.
The unyielding life energy of the strong was absorbed to their heart's content. Very soon, the ground of Tanai was littered with corpses. The corpses piled up and caused the battle to begin. For the sake of profit and hatred, the various races used slaughter to their heart's content to play out this battle.
Gradually, as Han Shuo absorbed the enormous amount of energy, a blood-red mist floated around him. The entire sky above the valley was suddenly shrouded in a blood-red mist. That terrifying murderous aura, along with the nauseating smell of blood, enveloped the entire valley.
Unfortunately, the various powers in the valley, whose eyes were bloodshot, didn't notice this abnormal change. They still focused all of their attention on the enemy in front of them, using the weapons in their hands, their fists, and even their teeth to attack the enemy. Everyone seemed to have gone completely mad.
Han Shuo, who was about to lose control of himself, forcefully suppressed his bloodthirsty desires and finally gave an order to the earth elite zombie hiding underground. Han Shuo understood that this wasn't the best time because the parties were still fighting. It wasn't time for one side to win yet. In principle, he could still wait a while longer. Unfortunately, Han Shuo understood that his current condition was extremely bad. Absorbing too much murderous aura at once was beyond what Han Shuo could bear. He was deeply afraid that he would lose his reason and not have a chance.
Ninety percent of the powers in the Valley of Sunshine had been reduced to a quarter of their original number. This was definitely the most intense battle in the history of the Valley of Sunshine. The major powers that had been fighting to the death suddenly felt the earth tremble violently. However, before they could react, every corner of the valley seemed to be exploding, and the thick smell of gunpowder instantly spread.
At this time, there were people fighting in every corner of the valley. Every explosion caused great damage. The mercenaries who were fighting were suddenly engulfed by the underground explosions, their bodies immediately disintegrating into bloody chunks. For a moment, the valley cracked and the mountains collapsed. The sounds of explosions rose and fell incessantly. More than half of the surviving experts in the Valley of Sunshine died in this violent explosion.
Due to the underground explosion in the valley, the huge rocks above also cracked. Rocks that were bigger than humans fell like raindrops. The huge rocks fell from a height of several hundred meters. That kind of violent impact was incomparably terrifying. All the experts who were careless and got smashed directly into meat paste.
The various powers that had been fighting in Tanai were all dumbfounded by this sudden explosion. Now that ninety percent of the Valley of Sunshine's forces had joined in, this kind of earth-shattering bombardment didn't differentiate between friend and foe. The damage caused was even more exaggerated. Even if Laureton and the others were slow, they could still sense the scent of a conspiracy.
The huge rocks continued to fall from above, and the entire valley was about to be sealed off. All the Tanai experts who had been awakened by the explosion suddenly reacted. All of them looked up to the sky and cursed as they fled in a sorry state. Laureton and the others' voices were even louder as they shouted for everyone to quickly retreat.
If it wasn't for the explosion covering up the blood mist, perhaps these people would've discovered Han Shuo's existence. After all, the fiendish Han Shuo had left an unforgettable impression on them with his blood mist attack in this very valley.
However, the rolling rocks had shattered the blood mist and could no longer form a distinct blood mist. Add to that the fact that the falling rocks were too terrifying, no one paid attention to the sky. All of them only cared about escaping and didn't expose Han Shuo's existence.
The leaders of the major powers sensed that there was a conspiracy, and the resentment in their hearts was as endless as the waters of the ocean. However, they all understood that this wasn't the time to look into it. The group of leaders led by Laureton frantically ordered their subordinates to leave this place as soon as possible.
Florida and the others had a bad premonition ever since they'd received the warning of the crossbow bolts. When they arrived in the valley and saw that the massacre had already occurred, and the explosions didn't differentiate between friend and foe, they immediately understood that Tanai's Laureton and the others had also been plotted against.
Florida and the others turned pale with fright. They even thought that this was the work of one of the three empires surrounding the Valley of Sunshine. Their goal was to eradicate all the powers in the Valley of Sunshine and take complete control of the Valley of Sunshine. It was because of this that they naturally thought that the explosions were only the beginning, and that there might be a sea of soldiers from the other empires baring their fangs at them.
Therefore, when Laureton fled, they also fled in a panic. They never would've thought that this conspiracy was the work of one person, and that such a large scale attack was the work of one person and the miraculous earth elite zombie. They completely lost their bearings as they fled in all directions.
As the leaders of a faction, they naturally thought more, but it was a pity that not every mercenary under their command was that smart. Most of these mercenaries who lived on the edge of a knife were still simple-minded. The fierce battle with Tanai's side had caused their comrades to die one by one, and their enemies to run around them. These people didn't have the time to think and immediately attacked.
Thus, even as they fled, the major powers were still locked in battle due to their unresolvable hatred. The sounds of metal clashing and the final screams of the dead continued for a long time outside the valley.
However, at this moment, the instigator of all this had turned blood red and was surrounded by a strong killing intent. He was clearly on the verge of a breakthrough. On the contrary, the Demonslayer Edge hovered in the air above the valley, replacing Han Shuo as the current beneficiary of all the powers.
