Chapter 981 - 558: Blood Burning Vanquishes the Flame Demon, Adjusted Extra Rewards [Subscription Requested][5K]

Actually, only Zong Shen knew.

He simply wanted to accumulate more points.

Such behavior left other surrounding Lords dumbfounded.

A big shot is always a big shot, always able to do something unique!

Zong Shen’s every move always managed to shock them.

After the warriors under Zong Shen unleashed an intense wave of output.

He once again ordered a full retreat for the army.

Upon hearing Zong Shen’s aggressive attack, the surrounding Lords’ attacks also became considerably more sparse.

Other Lords couldn’t afford to let their shooters consume arrows like he did.

To maintain the intensity of the crusade, they could only rely on replenishment from new Lords.

However, the speed at which new Lords were joining had noticeably slowed.

At this point, it was already past five in the evening.

Five hours had passed since the Flame Demon Boss spawned.

During this time, Zong Shen and company had spent two to three hours on that set of rest and recovery.

After their attack just now, the Flame Demon Boss’s blood volume decreased to 42%.

The remaining 2% should be resolved within fifteen to twenty minutes.

That’s why he ordered the team to retreat once more.

Everyone returned to a range of over a kilometer.

Meanwhile, Zong Shen also sent Doris to inform Jiang Yi.

Informing the members of the [Guides Corps] to also begin retreat preparations.

Within these few hours, the members of the [Guides Corps] were basically all gathered.

Moreover, they underwent one to two rounds of high-intensity output.

Upon receiving Doris’s notice, Jiang Yi didn’t hesitate.

She immediately issued a full retreat order in her capacity as Deputy Legion Commander.

A few corps members were still immersed in the frenzied battle atmosphere.

Hence, they hesitated somewhat when facing the retreat order.

However, when Jiang Yi said the retreat order was from the Legion Commander Zong.

These corps members, without saying a word, promptly led their warriors to withdraw.

They all retreated to a place one or two kilometers away from the Flame Demon Boss.

Over a hundred corps members gathered together.

Together with their accompanying warriors, they formed a sizable force of several thousand.

A large group clustered together.

Jiang Yi didn’t require the corps members to form ranks.

After all, these Lords were not strictly trained soldiers.

Their understanding of discipline was not deep.

Their compliance was entirely due to Zong Shen’s fame and strength.

A compliance psychology towards the strong.

Don’t expect to find the discipline of professional warriors among these corps members.

The best means of restraint for them are the corps rules and Zong Shen’s clear orders.

Other people’s words aren’t as effective, even Jiang Yi is no exception.

She naturally understands this point well.

Therefore, Jiang Yi has always strictly adhered to Zong Shen’s requests in matters.

Never expressing a bit of dissent.

Even if she once harbored a small ambition in her heart.

But after witnessing Zong Shen’s power.

Those ambitions dissipated completely.

Moreover, initially, she approached Zong Shen proactively to gain his favor.

If Zong Shen were likened to a King.

Then Jiang Yi would be the prime minister working for the King.

Or rather, the King’s hand.

Of course, such a description might be somewhat simplistic.

But it sufficiently conveys her current responsibilities and positioning.

Developing the corps is one aspect of dominating the region in the future.

But Zong Shen cannot spare too much thought in this aspect.

That’s why he chose Jiang Yi as his representative.

Thus allowing Zong Shen to free his hands to peacefully advance his territory and personal power.

Power is the foundation for him to dominate the region and ascend to higher levels in the future.

Jiang Yi understands this truth.

Nevertheless, she is still willingly working for Zong Shen.

While handling corps matters for Zong Shen.

She can also obtain many conveniences and benefits from it.

Additionally, Zong Shen occasionally gifts her some materials and Dinars.

This harvest is not an insignificant amount.

For any Lord, the materials gifted by Zong Shen can be put to great use.

The most critical point is, as Zong Shen’s agent and Deputy Legion Commander of the [Guides Corps].

The power she holds is quite substantial.

Zong Shen’s glory also, in certain aspects, contributes to her glory.

It’s a feeling of shared honor.

The joy of gaining favor is truly satisfying.

Under such premises, the [Guides Corps] is still a very straightforward Lord group.

After all, what ulterior motives could those Lords have who seek favor?

After the entire corps and accompanying warriors had fully retreated.

The remaining 2% blood volume of the Flame Demon Boss was soon dealt with.

Now it was finally time for Zong Shen to act.

However, the Flame Demon Boss, with its blood volume reduced below 40%.

Entered a state of Fury.

In this state, its attack intent becomes markedly heightened.

Correspondingly, attack frequency and intensity significantly increase.

The massive-bodied Flame Demon began swinging its arms and hammered down two places simultaneously.

Sweeping up two waves of magma rain.

Moreover, the area affected by these magma rains expanded from 300 meters to 500 meters.

The attack interval changed from one wave every three minutes to two waves every three minutes.

And that wasn’t all, the Flame Demon Boss’s eyes began to emit orange-red beams.

Soon after, its eyes shot out two blazing hot laser beams.

The range of these beams exceeded that of the magma rain.

Reaching around 800 meters.

At this distance stood many Lords who had already retreated from the field.

They suffered misfortune.

Fumblingly started to escape their positions
