Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Slaughter
A fervent glint flashed in the eyes of the four Void Demon Dukes present.
First-class merit was extremely difficult to obtain in the Void Demon Clan. A single first-class merit would be enough for the four Void Demon Dukes to exchange for enough Cultivation Resources to grow even stronger.
Duke Balverly asked, "Should we make our move now?"
Duke Americk replied, "No! We’ll use the slave Warrior Corps to continue draining Shu Feng’s Power. No matter what kind of Summoned Beast it is, prolonged fighting will consume a massive amount of energy. He won’t be able to last long."
Duke Vano said coldly, "Then let that worthless trash continue to deplete Shu Feng’s Power."
Under the command of the four Dukes, a corps of 200,000 Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors advanced from four directions, moving toward Liuguang City.
The Void Demon Corps’s attack was highly methodical. Each time, a corps of 50,000 slave Warriors attacked Liuguang City from four directions.
After all, if the number of slave Warriors was any greater, their formation would become too dense, making it difficult to evade the bullets fired from Liuguang City.
The moment the 200,000 Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors arrived at a distance of two kilometers from Liuguang City, a countless rain of light erupted from the city, burying itself into the bodies of the cannon fodder.
Dense ranks of Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors had their bodies blown apart directly.
"Charge!"
The elites hidden among the Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors roared madly, driving the cannon fodder to charge toward Liuguang City.
The dense rain of light seemed to hammer down on the Slave Cannon Fodder Warrior Corps almost without end.
By the time the 200,000 Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors had charged to a point one kilometer from Liuguang City, 80,000 Warriors had already been killed. The remaining 120,000 Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors broke down and routed, fleeing toward the rear.
The beams of light shooting from Liuguang City continued to strike the fleeing Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors, taking out another 60,000. Only the surviving 60,000 barely managed to escape.
A look of excitement flashed in Fang Long’s eyes, and he clenched his fists, filled with elation. ’So strong! The effective range of Shu Feng’s Summoned Beasts seems even greater than the Warriors of the Steel Fang!’
The effective range of the Steel Fang Warriors was one thousand meters. Within that one-kilometer range, their rate of fire was extremely high, and they had pinpoint accuracy.
Of course, the Warriors of the Steel Fang could also snipe enemies from two kilometers away or even further. However, doing so would consume a great deal of Spirit for calculations, and their firing speed would become extremely slow.
Although the Defense Power of the Spiritual Spear Beasts was far inferior to that of the elite Steel Fang Warriors, their range was long and their power was high. They could slaughter those Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors with impunity from over two kilometers away.
In fact, if not for Shu Feng’s orders, those Spiritual Spear Beasts could have easily slaughtered the Slave Cannon Fodder Warriors from a distance of ten kilometers.
But what if the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan retreated after he revealed the Spiritual Spear Beasts’ ultra-long range? Shu Feng was still planning to harvest a nice batch of souls.
If he had enough souls, Shu Feng could consume Source Energy to sublimate them into a Holy Soul. A Holy Soul was a soul that only an expert of the Spirit Saint Level could possess.
If Shu Feng were to implant a Holy Soul into his own body, his cultivation Talent would increase explosively again, and he would encounter no bottlenecks on his path to the Spirit Saint Realm.
「Inside the Void Demon Palace.」
A look of apprehension flashed through Duke Balverly’s eyes. ’So strong! Those monsters Shu Feng created are truly powerful. They’re comparable to the elites of the Steel Fang! This is troublesome!’
Duke Balverly had once fought against the Qianyuan Republic’s Steel Fang and suffered a crushing defeat. His 50,000 elite Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors had been slaughtered to the last man by 20,000 Steel Fang Warriors. If he hadn’t fled quickly, he too would have been suppressed by the then-Grand Commander of the Steel Fang, Li He.
Although Li He, the Grand Commander of the Steel Fang, was only a Half-Saint, he wielded the Steel Fang’s hereditary Semi-Divine Artifact, the Iron Banner. With a sufficient number of Steel Fang Warriors under his command, he could even suppress a Void Demon Duke.
The Qianyuan Republic’s Steel Fang, the Brentania Republic’s Divine Knights, and the Jiasen Republic’s Undying Veterans were the three most terrifying Spiritual Spear Master combat units on Blue Star. Any one of these units possessed the terrifying combat power to suppress a Void Demon Duke.
The Brentania Republic’s Expeditionary Army had been defeated, suffering countless casualties among its elites. The Divine Knight legion had also been heavily damaged, with only about ten thousand members remaining in their homeland.
The reason the Qianyuan Republic’s Spirit Saints had not left the Expeditionary Army was to protect the main force of the Steel Fang during their withdrawal.
Duke Vano said coldly, "Keep using those worthless slaves to wear down their power. Besides wasting food, that’s the only use for that despicable trash."
The other three Dukes nodded slightly.
A corps of 200,000 slave Warriors once again surged forward from four directions, moving toward Liuguang City.
The moment the corps of 200,000 slave Warriors approached within two kilometers of Liuguang City, the slave Warriors immediately began a frenzied charge toward the city.
Many slave Warriors fired at Liuguang City as they charged.
Countless streaks of light shot out from among the slave Warriors. Most missed entirely, and the few bullets that did hit were blocked by the thick city walls.
Another endless rain of light shot out from Liuguang City, smashing into the heads of the slave Warriors.
The heads of dense rows of slave Warriors were blown apart one after another.
The corps of 200,000 slave Warriors managed only a single charge before collapsing completely. They broke and fled, leaving behind one hundred thousand corpses in their pathetic retreat.
The horrific slaughter lasted for an entire day. The slave Warrior corps charged again and again, only to be broken again and again. In the end, they left behind 800,000 bodies scattered outside Liuguang City.
Faced with such terrifying casualties, several slave Warrior corps mutinied, only to be directly suppressed and annihilated by the Devouring Ghost Demon army.
The four Dukes leading the Devouring Ghost Demon army constantly changed tactics. They reduced the number of attackers and began sending four 10,000-man units to charge Liuguang City in a skirmish line.
However, this method was even easier for the Spiritual Spear Beasts to handle. The moment the four 10,000-man units entered the two-kilometer range of Liuguang City, they were swallowed by the endless rain of light, blown to pieces, and completely annihilated. Only a little over a thousand managed to escape.
After several more probes, the Devouring Ghost Demon army continued to drive the slave Warrior corps to attack Liuguang City through the night.
The combat power of the Spiritual Spear Beasts was astonishing. Even at night, they remained incomparably ferocious, routing one slave Warrior corps after another.
