Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser had never imagined that they would suffer such heavy losses in this trip to the Fringe, not to mention that it would come so quickly! It was so violent!
The three mountains sank deep into the ground in just a few dozen seconds. The terrifying explosive force came from the center of the mountains. In an instant, thousands of their subordinates were killed. This was perhaps the most devastating blow they had ever suffered in the Fringe!
Loud rumbles echoed from the area. After the three mountains sank halfway into the ground, they began to crumble from the center. The energy contained within the mountains was released in an instant, causing the godhunters in the mountains to wail and howl. One after another, they were sent flying out of the mountains with blood spurting out of them.
Rolling smoke descended from the sky. It was unknown if it had been waiting for a long time, but at the right time, it came grumblingly with the terrifying power. Many people who had flown out of the mountain had their bodies squeaking under the pressure of the rolling smoke. Their bodies were crushed into meat paste, falling into the massive ravines.
It turned out that the black fog that filled the entire valley had been waiting for this moment after absorbing the turbid gas from the earth's core!
The three mountains had turned into a living hell. Although the explosions gradually calmed down, the wails and howls did not stop. Instead, they grew even more intense. The blood-curdling screams made one's hair stand on end.
Gradually, the dust settled, and the sound of the explosion died down. After taking away hundreds and thousands of lives, the smoke that suddenly pressed down quietly disappeared with the wind without a trace.
… …
Dust and sand settled down from the sky. There were no more rocks flying out. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
The three mountains sunk deep into the earth but did not explode into smithereens. Gradually, figures covered in wounds walked out from the mountains. Some had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, some had broken arms, but only a few dozen of them were completely unscathed. All of them, without exception, were highgods of formidable strength.
Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser were the last to walk out of the mountains. Their subordinates looked at them with pitiful expressions. The three of them looked like volcanoes that could erupt at any moment. The intense killing intent emanating from them made even their highgod subordinates afraid to approach them.
Salas walked out as well. He was overwhelmed with shock and had a deeper understanding of how terrifying the Han family was.
At this moment, Salas no longer intended to fight to the death with the Han family. It wasn't that Salas was a coward, but Dhaka and the rest hadn't seen a single person today, and almost half of their experts had died. This far exceeded Salas's expectations of the Han family.
Recalling the past, Salas couldn't help but smile bitterly. Back then, he was just like Dhaka and the other two, full of ambition to destroy Pandemonium. In the end, he was trapped in a strange barrier, and his subordinates didn't see a single member of the Han family. Just like today, they suffered heavy losses.
After experiencing it once again, Salas had completely lost his temper. In a one-on-one fight, he was not a match for the Han family. In a team fight, the terrifying strength of the Han family's guards had gradually made many forces tremble in fear. On top of that, the Han family's defenses were ridiculously strong. Salas really didn't know how he could go up against the Han family.
Forget it, forget it. I'd better get rid of that obsession in my heart! Salas, who had originally planned to settle the score with the Han family, only now did he truly understand himself and get rid of that obsession in his heart.
… …
After taking a deep breath, Dhaka pondered for a long while before finally gritting his teeth and roaring, "Do a headcount!"
The subordinate beside Dhaka, who didn't dare to speak first, immediately gave the order. Dagmar and Asser waved their hands grimly, signaling for their subordinates to report the number of casualties.
The three subordinates reported names one after another, but only half of them responded. Dhaka and the other two listened in silence, their faces turning darker and darker.
Soon, the results were out. Each of them had around a thousand subordinates, but only half of them were still alive. Now, Tanai Shan only had slightly more than two thousand godhunters left, and most of them were injured to varying degrees.
They hadn't even encountered a single member of the Han family, but they had already lost half of their men!
"Salas!" Dagmar roared, glaring at him with a pair of venomous eyes.
"We were about to leave, but you insisted on turning back. What does that have to do with me?" Salas wasn't afraid at all. He looked coldly at Dhaka and Asser, who were also looking at him, and said, "Every time something goes wrong, you push all the blame onto me. Is that how you do things?"
"Why did the Han family know we were coming? Why did they set up a trap for us? Salas, don't tell me you didn't know anything. There can't be such a coincidence! "Dagmar barked. The bone throne floated over and landed in front of Salas.
"Of course I didn't know!" Salas roared. He pointed at Dagmar and roared, "Do you think I would betray you? Damn it, I was chased out of the Fringe by Brian and the Han family. My Empyrean Peak was razed to the ground and I can't go back to my home? Do you think I would ally with them to deal with you? Dagmar, have you lost your mind because of the Quintessence Shard?! "
"I don't believe that the Han family is so resourceful. If it weren't for you leading the way, we wouldn't have come here," Asser, who was usually quiet, suddenly said. He seemed to have his own suspicions.
Salas was stunned for a moment before he suddenly retreated, letting Dhaka, Asser, and Dagmar stay a safe distance away. He then sneered, "You're all crazy! You blame me for your men's deaths. It seems that there's nothing more to say! I won't be playing with you three anymore. Do whatever you want! "
Without waiting for the three to say anything, Salas shot into the sky and disappeared in a flash.
Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser were stunned. They didn't expect him to leave just like that, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Be it Dagmar, Asser, or Dhaka, the reason why they blamed Salas was partly because they were a little suspicious, but more importantly, they wanted someone to take the blame. After all, the losses were too great and they didn't think it would be easy to explain it to their subordinates. All they could do was blame Salas.
In their hearts, they really didn't think that Salas and Han Shuo would work together. Just as Salas said, he had an irreconcilable grudge with the Han family. They only allowed Salas to participate because they had a detailed understanding of his experiences in the Omphalos. So, although the three of them blamed Salas, they didn't gang up on him.
If they really thought that Salas had betrayed them, they wouldn't have shown it. They would have found a chance to attack Salas when he wasn't paying attention and killed him before Salas could figure out what was going on.
The three of them looked at each other with even more dismay. They didn't expect Salas to leave so decisively and disappear without a trace.
Now that they had lost Salas, the local tyrant, and their subordinates were either injured or dead, things would be even more difficult to handle later on.
"Damn it, this guy actually left!!" Dagmar was furious. His heart was full of resentment, but he had nowhere to vent it. He had only wanted to push the blame onto Salas, but he didn't expect that Salas would abandon him before he could achieve his goal.
"So be it. With our current strength, as long as we don't fall into any traps, we should be able to deal with Pandemonium!" Dhaka knew that the three of them couldn't afford to be disloyal anymore. Even if he wanted to curse Dagmar, he could only hold it in for the time being.
Dhaka was full of confidence when he came. He didn't hold back at all when he said that he would completely destroy the Han family.
But now, when he talked about Pandemonium, he unknowingly lost some of his confidence. He was no longer as certain as before.
"That's right, we can definitely destroy Pandemonium!" Dagmar emphasized, but it sounded like he was trying to cheer himself up.
Dhaka and the other two had suffered far too many casualties in these three mountains. They were no longer as sharp as before.
"Let's stabilize their injuries first. Hmm, it's best that we leave this place immediately. This place is a little strange." Asser looked at the three mountains that had sunk halfway into the ground and felt extremely uncomfortable.
His suggestion was immediately agreed to by the other two. Without further ado, the three of them took inventory of the remaining soldiers and left Tanai.
After the three of them disappeared for a while, Han Shuo and Han Hao emerged from the huge ravine below them. Han Shuo looked at the situation from midair and said regretfully, "Too much formation power will make the attack uneven. Otherwise, the three mountains wouldn't just have collapsed, but would have exploded. If that had happened, let alone their subordinates, even Dhaka and the other two would have been heavily injured! "
"Father, this is already not bad. With this, the three of them won't be able to cause much trouble in Pandemonium!" Han Hao looked at the ravine and said worriedly, "Won't the collapse of the mountains and the rupture of the earth affect my underground palace?"
"It will definitely affect it a little, but don't worry. Hehe, when this is over, Little Earth, Little Gold and the others will come and spend some time. Not only will they be able to restore this place, but the ground will also be filled with rocks. It will make your palace even more secure! "Han Shuo laughed.
While talking to Han Hao, Han Shuo waved his hand and recalled the godhunter souls that had yet to dissipate back into his body. Then, he said to Han Hao, "Let's go. We'll wait for them in Pandemonium."
"I'm afraid that they won't dare to come in this time!" Han Hao's lips curled into a faint smile. He felt that playing with Dhaka was rather interesting.
"It's fine. It's best if they don't dare to come in. Let them go to Omphalos. Logue and Tyre are there anyway. It's better for us if they fight to the death! "Han Shuo laughed heartily and left with Little Skull's half-finished avatar.
