PS: I thought about it and decided to differentiate Grandmaster Ma's name from a certain car brand. So, from now on, Grandmaster Ma's name will be Mazda Moody.
In the rainforest, the terrifying duel continued. Even though Fulgen was injured by the Hand of Gods and was at a disadvantage, it was still very difficult for Kuga to defeat him.
The duel between the lords continued, but the battle between the lizardman army and the human army stopped.
After a bloody battle, both sides were very tired. The human army had been reduced to 2,500 people, and they were barely holding on with Fulgen's charisma and strong discipline. The lizardman army's losses were also beyond Kuga's tolerance. Large groups of lizardman warriors' corpses covered the swamps and woodlands near the ruins.
The remaining lizardman warriors were also thirsty, hungry, and tired. These ancient saint's servants were not invincible and did not need to eat.
The spirit lizard priest received Mazda Moody's order. He signaled for the lizardman army to stop fire and retreat about 500 meters to surround the humans.
"Stay alert and replenish your water and food as soon as possible! Rest before the lizardmen reach us! But don't take off your armor and weapons! "Pilazo loudly ordered the soldiers.
The human soldiers let out a sigh of relief and took the time to rest.
Many soldiers were still watching the battle between Fulgen and Kuga worriedly. The battle between the commander and the lizardman lord was still going on. Due to the injuries caused by the Hand of Gods and the fear of this killing weapon, Fulgen was clearly at a disadvantage. However, he did not show any signs of defeat.
Countless sparks flew as Glory and Venerable God's spear clashed. The humans could not see the battle at all. They could only see a blur of light and shadow.
"War Leader, Mazda Moody begs you to stop the battle! This human in front of us is the ancient saint's son! "The spirit lizard priest shouted at Kuga, who was still fighting with Fulgen.
"No! He must be a perverted Chosen of Gods champion! He can't be a normal human with such strength. He must be a servant of chaos! "Kuga resolutely refused to stop the battle. The enemy in front of him must be eliminated!
He was waiting for the next charge of the Hand of Gods.
"He's a normal human. There are no signs of corruption on his body!" The spirit lizard priest had already sensed that there were no signs of corruption on Fulgen's body.
"That's just his disguise!" Kouga still refused to stop fighting.
This war leader was probably the only lizardman that had the right to refuse the Spirit Lizard Priest's request. It was because he was a member of the Sacred Assembly. Otherwise, all the lizardman warriors would unconditionally obey the Spirit Lizard Priest's request.
Fu Gen couldn't understand the lizardmen's language, so he continued to fight with Kouga. Both sides fought until the sky turned dark.
At this time, the sun had already begun to set.
The Spirit Lizard Priest could not change Kouga's mind. It could only start casting spells and report to Lord Mazda Moody.
In the City of the Sun, thousands of temple guards had been assembled. The Ankylosaurus Legion and the God-blessed Tyrannosaurus Legion with the Sun Engine and the Resurrection Crystal had gathered in the huge square in front of the temple pyramid.
The awakened Demon Toad Slanmazdamudi sat on the Golden Holy Throne.
"Master Mazda Moody, War Leader Kouga has refused the order to cease fire." Isis, the defender, whispered to Mazda Moody, "It insists that the other party is the Chosen One of Perverted Sins and an obstacle to the big plan."
"…" Lord Mazda Mudi shook its head and gestured for the temple guards to bring its mount, an ancient three-horned dragon, Zalaghe.
Mazda Moody was the most powerful Slann Demon Toad Lord among all the surviving Slanns. No other Slann was more honorable than it. At the place of creation, Mazda Moody was a student of the first generation of the strongest Demon Toad, Master Kroc. He received personal guidance from Kroc and was appointed as his successor.
After Master Kroc died in battle, the Sacred Assembly studied and decided to let Mazda Moody be the Great Lord of Slann.
Mazda Moody rarely needed to be disturbed because it often only needed to wave its arm or spit out a spell to wipe out an entire army. Two hundred years ago, a human explorer, Cortes, established a colony in Luscia and constantly led a huge colonial army to excavate the ruins of the Ancient Sages. And this powerful Demon Toad solved the problem with just a wave of its hand.
A huge earthquake erased the entire human colony and all the residents in the colony from history.
"The Child of the Ancient Sages … is part of the big plan … According to the stars, there are a total of four Children of the Ancient Sages active in the world." Mazda Moody muttered to himself. "The world is changing. The Children of the Ancient Sages are closely related to our survival."
"Within three moon cycles, a Child of the Ancient Sages will arrive in our city. His arrival is a sign. We need to change and reformulate the big plan!" The Demon Toad sat on the Golden Holy Throne. It lowered its head and thought about countless problems.
The power of the stars and the origin revolved around Mazda Moody. The projection of the most powerful Demon Toad in the subspace was like a dazzling star. Every movement of its powerful soul was a wave of energy. Mazda Moody held the black cobra scepter in its hand and fell into deep thought.
The arrival of the Child of the Ancient Sages meant that the big plan must be changed. The powerful combat strength of the Child of the Ancient Sages satisfied Mazda Moody. Only the strength that was comparable to Kouga was qualified to be part of the big plan.
"Kouga disobeyed orders?" As if to confirm something, it asked the Defender, Isis, again.
"Yes, the war leader insisted that the Child of Sin was the Chosen of God." The Spirit Lizard Priest also repeated. Just as the lizardmen warriors absolutely obeyed the Spirit Lizard Priest, the Spirit Lizard Priest obeyed the Demon Toad.
Mazda Moody nodded and raised its scepter.
A massive vortex of magic power enveloped all the troops in the temple square. Mazda Moody began to look for traces of Kouga in the subspace.
Endless chaotic energy and vortexes rolled and surged in the subspace. Mazda Moody could hear the mocking and whispering of the evil gods. However, any chaotic demons that tried to approach the Demon Toad's will were instantly vaporized.
It quickly found Kouga's location.
Mazda Moody nodded. It knew that if it wanted to stop Kouga, it would have to step in.
In the next moment, several temple guard legions and an entire army of ancient beasts in the square disappeared without a trace, along with Mazda Moody.
Luscia Rainforest, Lizardmen Ruins.
The battle between Fulgen and Kouga was still going on. Neither side realized that the battle had changed.
Countless Temple Guard Legions descended amidst the golden light, and the colorful brilliance almost drowned out the entire battlefield.
"We are surrounded!" A human soldier cried out in despair. The lizardmen army was everywhere, and even the most inexperienced soldiers could tell that a true elite army had appeared. These lizardmen were wearing small triceratops skulls, and they were wearing metal ceremonial armor inlaid with jewels. They were the elite troops of the army.
There was also a giant ancient triceratops and an ankylosaurus with a scary energy device on its body. These giant beasts surrounded the human's last, narrow and crowded position.
Fulgen noticed the appearance of the lizardmen army. The wound on his left shoulder was still hurting. It was very painful. The weapon left by the ancient saint had caused a lot of damage to the king's son geno prototype. He tried to give an order, but the enemy in front of him did not give him the chance to do so.
Kouga's attacks were still coming in waves. He would raise Hand of Gods from time to time as if he was about to fire. This caused Fu Gen to be firmly suppressed. Kouga also discovered Fu Gen's fear of Hand of Gods, which caused Fu Gen to be at a disadvantage in the duel.
An ancient triceratops that was clearly stronger than the other triceratops entered the battlefield under the protection of a large group of temple guards. Mazda Moody sat on the golden throne. He watched the duel between Kouga and Fulgen and signaled his subordinates not to act rashly.
Three minutes later, seeing that Kouga and Fulgen were still unable to determine a winner, Mazda Moody finally nodded. The demon toad opened its mouth and spat out a string of spells.
The sky and the ground lost their color. Dark clouds gathered. A meteor that was more than 50 meters in diameter fell from the sky at the speed of light. It hit the ground two meters away from where Fulgen and Kouga were fighting. Kouga and Fulgen, who were fighting each other, were blown away by the explosion of the meteor. The two duelists, who had been fighting each other for a long time, were forced to separate and fall to the ground.
Fulgen felt as if he had been thrown far away. He fell into a swamp. Although he was badly injured, the king's son geno prototype was still holding the gold power sword Glory tightly. He tried to get up, but the water and mud in the swamp soaked Fulgen's armor and body. When he managed to get up, many temple guards surrounded him.
"Huh!" The Magic Toad stretched out its hand, and white magic threads formed a solid cage, trapping Fulgen within. Fulgen swung his sword with all his might to break the cage created by the Magic Toad, but that was all. Fulgen knew that he could not face such a powerful lizardman warrior and a spellcaster with the power to move mountains and fill seas at the same time.
In Fu Gen's impression, other than the Emperor himself, only the Prime Minister of the Empire, "Mageweath" Macado, could match the power contained in this Demon Toad.
Fulgen raised his sword. He remembered the king's order. Ancient Saint's servant had appeared, so he tried to communicate.
War Leader Kouga did not agree. It seemed as if it wanted to continue the fight.
"Enough … Kouga … Stop fighting. This is part of the big plan," Mazda Moody said to Kouga, who was covered in wounds.
"Yes, Master Moody." Kouga lowered its head to show obedience, but it was still not convinced. "What are you going to do with this human?"
"Take your army and fall back." Mazda Moody ordered Kouga to take his lizardman army and fall back. Then, he went to where Fulgen was. The leader of Sun City was silent for a while. He spoke in human language. "Ancient Saint's son … You have come here. Are you here to seek enlightenment or to seek Zi Ci?"
Ancient Saint's son? Fulgen's heart wavered. It was a surprise that he could communicate with Ancient Saint's servant, but he was sure he was not a lizard or a frog. "I am not Ancient Saint's son! I am the son of the human king. I am a human! "
Mazda Moody shook its head and said, "Race is not a reason for you to deny your identity. Ancient Saint created many races, including elves, dwarves, green skin … and humans."
"…" Fulgen was speechless. Ancient Saint was the first race to appear in the universe. It was also the first race to rule. According to legends, the birth of all races was the result of Ancient Saint's experiments.
"Your body is filled with the power of subspace creation. From a certain point of view, you are not a pure physical creature. You are more like a perfect combination of subspace energy and physical matter, written with the genes of a certain supreme existence. I can be sure that this is an important movement in the Ancient Sage's Great Plan, and you are a poem in this movement." Mazda Moody went on to say, "Without a doubt, your birth was the crystallization of Ancient Saint's holy technology. You are Ancient Saint's son."
Fulgen's face changed. He thought about the origin of the geno prototype.
King's creation of the geno prototype had always been a mystery. Fulgen only knew that King used his genes and unknown technology to create 20 geno prototypes. Then, the geno prototypes were taken away by Chaos Evil God using a subspace storm. King could not create another batch of geno prototypes. He launched a big expedition to the universe to find his proud creations.
Now, it seemed that the geno prototype might have something to do with Ancient Saint.
"Your arrival means a lot. Ancient Saint's son, may I know your name?"
"My name is Fulgen." The king's son's geno prototype quickly escaped the confusion. The questions made him think, but they did not affect his loyalty. Fu Gen had a feeling that the king had asked him to come there because he wanted him to know about these things.
Therefore, it could not be Anglo, Vulcan, Magnus, Zhuang Sen, or Clarkson. None of them were suitable to get in touch with the servants of the Ancient Saints.
Laing was too young. His power was not enough to force the demon toad to come out. King needed Kiryman to help him manage many things and launch a new round of expeditions. Therefore, this task had to fall on him.
This was King's arrangement. Everything was under his control.
"Let your army camp and wait. You, come with us to Sun City." Mazda Moody gave Fulgen enough time to think. He waited for Fulgen to finish thinking and then said, "We want to make a deal with you."
After more than a year, Fu Gen finally got what he wanted. He didn't hesitate too much. He knew Mazda Moody's strength. If this Demon Toad and Kouga joined forces, he wouldn't be a match for them. Moreover, with the cold-blooded logic of these ancient saint servants, they wouldn't lie. Since Fu Gen had proven his strength, they would negotiate. If Fu Gen was unfortunately killed by Kouga, then he deserved it.
Fulgen nodded and said, "Okay."
The human expeditionary army was ordered to camp in the lizardman ruins and wait. Although they did not want to leave, the human soldiers put down the gold, silver, and jewels they had plundered and handed them back to the lizardman. Then, they set up camp and watched the army leader leave with the lizardman.
…
The next day, when the sun rose, the soldiers of the expeditionary army, who had rested for a night, were surprised to find that the ruins were filled with the gold, silver, and jewels they had handed over. The temple guards even brought a few more wooden boxes of precious gems!
The lizardmen not only returned the wealth to the expeditionary army, but also sent some meat, non-poisonous fruits, and many gourds filled with water for the humans to eat.
Pilazzo was about to scold his subordinates not to eat the lizardmen's food and take the lizardmen's gold and silver when Army Leader Fulgen appeared, surrounded by the temple guards. Pilazzo hurriedly walked to Fulgen and said, "Army Leader? This is … "
"This is half of the commission for the first order, my deputy army leader." Fulgen was wearing a custom-made lizardman God's Blessing feather cape. His wounds were bandaged with herbs and he was riding a ferocious cold lizard. He had a relieved smile on his face and said, "I accepted a few orders from the lizardmen. This wealth is the deposit they gave us."
"What orders? Can we complete them? " The eyes of Pilazzo and the human soldiers lit up. With so much wealth, the Ashes Corps would become the richest mercenary army in the Old World!
"I signed an agreement with the lizardmen. We will fight for them and they will give us wealth," Fulgen said with a smile. "We agreed that our Ashes Corps can freely occupy the many coastal ports and a few plains outside the Luscia Forest. As long as we don't enter the rainforest, they even promised to open up trade with us."
"That's really … great!" Pilazzo could not contain his excitement. When the soldiers of the expeditionary army heard this good news, they laughed, cried, and howled. They all had different expressions. After more than a year of hard work, they had finally received such a generous reward!
"Army Leader! We will only listen to you. We will fight wherever you tell us to! "a soldier shouted.
"Very good." The corners of Fulgen's mouth curled up, and a demonic sneer appeared on his face. "Our Ashes Corps' first order is."
"A barbarian tribe in the northwest of Luscia who believes in Chaos, Skogi!"
