Chapter 269: An Unknown Army, Attack of the Demons
As the Fairy Empire and the Titan Empire consecutively declared their submission, the two races also took action accordingly.
The Titans retreated to the Titan Mountains, while the Fairies returned to the Forest of Life.
In the meantime, the armies of the two empires disbanded and returned home. Meng Lei’s troops moved in.
Within a mere period of two months, the Meng Lei Empire took over two empires without bloodshed.
At once, various policies were launched one after another, taking down nobles, dividing up the land, promoting faith...
As the human race was huge in numbers, these policies quickly received enthusiastic responses from the two countries’ people.
With their support, the demi-Titan and demi-Fairy nobles in the two empires couldn’t make many waves before they were drowned out in the waves of liberation.
The Meng Lei Empire’s territory reached an astonishing size at once, threatening the Beast People Empire and making it feel a huge pressure.
“Everyone, the Fairy Empire and Titan Empire successively surrendered, and only we, the Beast People Empire, are left. What should we do?”
The Beast Emperor sat on the stone chair, looking much more aged than before.
“It’s all up to you to decide, Your Majesty!”
The officials of the empire sobbed with a low voice.
There were only two choices when looking at the current situation—either surrender and prolong their pitiful life, like the Fairy Empire and Titan Empire or fight to their death against the Meng Lei Empire.
They didn’t want to accept either case nor could they!
Surrender?
Meng Lei’s empire took down nobles and divided up all the land, but it was just so that all these officials were nobles of the Beast People Empire and very prominent nobles.
Once they surrendered, they would completely become the Meng Lei Empire’s civilians, with no more chance to return to their noble statuses.
Fight?
They couldn’t beat him!
Meng Lei had even killed the legendary Titan Horace, with even 11 half-deities, as well as 10 half-deities Colossal Dragons, under his leadership, so how could they possibly fight against him?
Wouldn’t that be like hitting an egg against a rock?
“Up to me to decide? How do I decide?”
The Beast Emperor was depressed. “Either choice will push our Beast People Empire to a place of no return, and I will become the Beast People Empire’s criminal!”
“Your Majesty may as well surrender!”
A Pig Person official said with a crying voice, “Surrender, and we can still live. If we don’t, the Meng Lei Empire will completely erase our Beast People Empire from this earth!
“Then, with our people dead and our country destroyed, we, Beast People, will completely become history, just like the Dragons!”
“Wuneng Pig, how dare you incite Your Majesty to surrender! What is your intention!?”
A Wolf Person with a wolf head condemned the Pig Person angrily, his eyes flashing with coldness.
“Sanwa Wolf, against absolute power, roaring is useless!” Wuneng Pig said coldly, “Roaring will only cause an absolute disaster!”
“Hmph!”
“Report!”
At this time, a Lion Man guard rushed into the great hall, terrified, and knelt down in front of the Beast Emperor. “Your... Your Majesty, it’s no good!”
Upon hearing that, the Beast Emperor stood up at once, and his facial expression changed. “Why are you so terrified? Has that Meng Lei already come to our gates?”
“No, not that, Your Majesty! There was just news from the Far Northern Icelands! A huge demon army suddenly appeared in the Far Northern Icelands!”
The Lion Person guard panicked. “Their numbers are astonishing, and they came rushing to the Far Northern Icelands like a tide!”
“What?”
“A demon army?”
The Beast Emperor looked at the officials, and all of them looked confused. Everyone knew that the Far Northern Icelands had no living thing other than a small handful of Ice-Elemental Magical Beasts.
A demon army?
Wasn’t that nonsense?
Right when everyone was confused and stunned, another Lion Person guard rushed in.
“Your... Your Majesty, news came from the Far Northern Icelands! The demon army is huge, and their capability is scary! The Far Northern Icelands can’t hold for much longer, and they hope Your Majesty will send reinforcements soon!”
“Your Majesty, it’s no good...”
In the hours to come, one piece of bad news followed by another hit the hearts of the Beast Emperor and all the members of his court!
The demon army broke through the Far Northern Icelands, and then, like a flood that overcame a dam...
It went rushing all the way toward the Beast People Empire. Everywhere it passed, everything was destroyed!
What made the Beast Emperor and the top echelon of the empire despair the most was that the angry demon army went all the way without leaving a single living being alive!
All living things they encountered were killed!
Every strong fort was turned into dust!
Every Beast Person clan was burnt to the ground!
“Where on earth did this demon army come from? Why would they appear in my Beast People Empire?”
The Beast Emperor was on the verge of collapse. “Who can tell me, where did they come from, who do they listen to, how to resist them?”
The officials looked at one another and said nothing.
You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask, then?
I am also f*cking in despair!
“Your Majesty, it has come to this, so we should gather our army, choose our generals, and hit the demon army head-on! They are really too fast!”
A Fox Person official said hurriedly, “If we allow things to continue, it will spread to our entire realm in no time, our millions of people will all die, and our Beast People Empire will come to its end!”
Upon hearing this, the Beast Emperor, Grom Lexar, shivered and nodded continuously.
“This is very true, Ados, I neglected it!
“Pass my order! Dispatch 6 big regiments, including the Behemoth, Oxen, and Elephant-Men regiments, to stop the invading enemy. Be sure to stop their army, pause their movement, and eventually destroy them completely!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
...
Meng Lei had no idea about what was happening at the Beast People Empire. A few months later, Fatty Hart finally completed the initial-stage integration of that piece of divine core.
Thus, he brought Fatty Hart and Sacas the Multi-Armed Behemoth to the Lost Continent.
At present, the duo’s aura had undergone an overwhelming change. Their facial expressions carried divine power in every turn of their eyes!
Deities!
Both had actually already surpassed the level of half-deity to become true gods!
Although they were the weakest true gods with the least fighting power, they were indeed real true gods!
They couldn’t beat other true gods of the same level, but they were more than good enough to deal with Saint Domain experts and half-deities.
“Big Brother, so this is the Lost Continent?”
Fatty Hart’s feet stepped out into empty air. Looking at the green and lush Lost Continent, their eyes contained a bit of curiosity, a bit of excitement, a bit of anticipation...
Without any accidents, from now on, this would become the new Dragon Island, and he would become the new master and Dragon Emperor of this new continent!
“Yes, this is the Lost Continent.” Meng Lei smiled and nodded. “From now on, you are in charge of this place. I hope you will manage the Colossal Dragon clan properly, don’t let me down!”
“Rest assured, old bro. I will be sure to keep the Colossal Dragon clan obedient and well-behaved, make them all become your believers, and follow your orders!”
Fatty Hart patted his chest and promised proudly. He had enough confidence in his own power, so what was dealing with the Colossal Dragon clan to him?
“Good to hear that!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly and waved his hand.
Splash...
Countless Colossal Dragons appeared out of thin air. There were Dark Colossal Dragons with completely black bodies, Light Colossal Dragons shining with bright divine light, Frost Colossal Dragons emanating with a cold shine, and Storm Colossal Dragons with green scales all over their bodies...
They came in all kinds and variations, and they numbered more than 10,000!
“Roar!”
When so many Colossal Dragons just appeared, a huge wave of dragon might was immediately released.
All of them stretched their necks and roared angrily, expressing the confusion and surprise in their hearts.
“Roar!”
“Where?”
“Where is this?”
“Did we escape that goddamn place?”
“Fatty Hart, I will leave the rest to you!”
Meng Lei looked at Fatty Hart smiling.
“Old bro, just watch!”
Fatty Hart smiled, took one step out, arrived at the space above the dragons, and decisively changed his form.
Boom!
A golden Colossal Dragon, tens of thousands of feet long and shining with golden light all over its body, appeared suddenly. An overwhelming wave of divine power spread and pressed across thousands of miles.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Colossal Dragons hit the ground like dumplings being dropped into the pot. Then, they were pressed down on the ground hard, shivering, not able to even start to think about resistance.
“Listen, Colossal Dragons below, this is the new Dragon Island. You will be the first batch of residents of the new Dragon Island, and I am the new Dragon Emperor! Do you have any objections to this?”
“The new Dragon Island?”
“The new Dragon Emperor?”
...
Master left the Lost Continent with Sacas, and right after he returned to the palace, Puhaman approached him. “Master, something big happened in the Beast People Empire!”
“Beast People Empire?” Meng Lei’s eyebrows lifted. “These guys made trouble again?”
In the past few months, the Titan Empire and Fairy Empire had both surrendered, and only the Beast People Empire had not sent any news yet—clearly not willing to surrender!
Of course, Meng Lei was displeased, and just as he was about to order the army to attack, something happened in the Beast People Empire?
What do these Beast People want to do after all?
Fight with him till death, or what?
“Master, our spy dragon guard in the Beast People Empire reported back that a demon army of astonishing numbers was found within the realm of the empire. They came in great force and momentum and seized almost 1/10 of the empire’s territories near the Far Northern Icelands within a short period!”
Puhaman’s face was solemn. “Now, they are spreading to the entire realm of the Beast People Empire with a shocking speed. Given the demon army’s marching speed, they will completely raze the Beast People Empire to the ground within less than half a month!”
“A demon army?”
Meng Lei looked completely astonished. “Where did a demon army come from in the realm of the Beast People Empire? Did some Demon Magician make trouble, or did someone accidentally sign a demon contract?”
“Both are possible!”
Puhaman said in a low voice, “When I got the news in the morning, I sent Thaniel off to the Beast People Empire already. I believe he will be back soon!”
“Mmm!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. Thaniel had similarly integrated his lesser deity divine core, and his ability reached the level of true gods, especially his speed was faster than before. It was the most appropriate for him to collect intelligence.
Meng Lei didn’t have to wait for long. After just over 2 hours, Thaniel came back with shocking news.
“Master, the size of the demon army attacking the Beast People Empire is estimated at around 100,000,000!
“There is a shocking amount of Devil Overlords among them, and a decent number of even Demon Lords!
“Several Great Demon Lords as well!
“The demon army is extremely fast, and they will completely seize the Beast People Empire!”
Devil Overlords were comparable to half-deities!
Demon Lords were comparable to true gods!
Great Demon Lords were the equivalent of lesser deities!
“Master, this is not an ordinary demon invasion. It is more terrifying than any other time in history. We have to be careful!”
