Chapter 489: Calm
Chapter 489: Calm
The initial forces were retreating step by step, even the elite blood descendants had suffered casualties.
This caused the Count standing at the top of the Scarlet Manor to show an extremely fierce expression, his left hand crazily pressing into the wound on his right wrist that was pierced by a silver cross.
Drip, drip… Blood dripped from the torn wound.
“Please stay calm, sir. We’ve only lost some useless corpses,”
said the private doctor – the Blood Bag Baron, who had always stood behind the count.
He stretched out his hand at this moment, touching the Count’s shoulder area.
Immediately, a strand of blood vessel was connected to the count’s body, delivering a kind of blood that could ‘soothe the mind’, calming the Count down.
The wound that the Count had gouged out healed immediately, and the cross embedded between his wrists was secured.
“Ahaha! I’m just surprised by this young lord’s means… didn’t expect that besides the crowman, he has a special force hidden deep in the manor.
Send my order down, let the Mad Feast Baron take those fat worms they’re raising at the bottom of the petting zoo into battle… speed up the pace a bit and restore my lost dignity.”
The Blood Bag Baron slightly frowned, reminding the Count:
“Should the Chief Cook be sent to the front lines this early?
Alright, I will notify him immediately… It’s just that if those large worms cultivated by the observers were to join the battle, it could seriously disrupt the battlefield terrain, affecting subsequent battles.”
This slender, doctor-like private physician seemed to be the real steward of the Scarlet Manor.
And the steward was just a temporary title, in reality, he was the observer sent by the Blood God Sect.
“The terrain doesn’t matter… Let’s press down on this young lord’s arrogance first.”
“Okay.”
…
Han Dong watched as his side’s advantages were continuously expanded, even threatening the Baron Graves, but he wasn’t very happy, instead, he frowned.
“It’s strange, the front door of Scarlet Manor is still closed, and there’s no aerial blood descendant force providing support.
The count absolutely wouldn’t let one of his important barons die right at the beginning.
Moreover, such a big defeat would definitely reduce the momentum of Scarlet Manor to some extent.
Could it be…”
Han Dong focused his attention on the underground area of the white battlefield.
The Pupil Mark appeared on the surface of the Demon Eye, further enhancing the ability to see through things.
“What is… this thing!?”
After Han Dong caught a glimpse of the Oddity, he sent a message through the ‘Raven Crosser’ wand.
“Elder Miz Crow, return to the manor immediately with the accompanying Double-headed Crow Man… all battle plans are cancelled! I’ve already sent out two elders to assist you.”
“Yes!”
Although Elder Miz Crow was full of doubts in his heart and didn’t quite understand why Han Dong wanted to give up the opportunity to ‘defeat the enemy forces’… but this was the lord’s command, and he certainly had to execute it unconditionally.
“Retreat quickly!”
However, just as Miz Crow was about to step back.
The earth cracked open.
A blood-red tunnel worm with a diameter of a hundred meters suddenly broke out of the ground.
There was simply no time to react or resist, as it swallowed dozens of ghouls in one gulp.
Even if the ghoul’s gelatinous skin was sturdy, the terrifying rows of teeth in the mouth of the blood-red worm, combined with its highly corrosive saliva, left no chance of survival for the ghouls that fell into the worm’s body.
However.
There were three such colossal crimson worms, each with a jaw radius of up to a hundred meters.
Even the terrain of the battlefield was instantly destroyed.
The giant leaping worms even attempted to devour the Crowmen flying in the air.
At this moment, Han Dong ordered the other two elders who had infiltrated the battlefield to arrive and help Elder Miz Crow and his group escape from the gaping jaws, safely returning to Stuart Manor.
Meanwhile.
Mad Feast Baron, half-man half-worm, arrived on the battlefield on such a ‘worm subway’.
In his hand, he held a dreadfully giant axe that was more than three meters long.
Basically, every swing of his axe took down a ghoul. All sorts of fancy combat moves were useless in the face of his absolute and terrifying power.
The axe swung by the Mad Feast Baron.
One could not resist or dodge it, even a close brush against it could crush bones with its internal force.
Once a target was shattered, the Mad Feast Baron would ‘digest’ the ghoul’s severed limbs by two means, recycling them.
The baron’s belly was a large mouth used for devouring, capable of quickly consuming the scattered ghouls… He could swallow an entire one whole.
At the same time, the baron also possessed a unique demon realm-[Maggot Kitchen]
Within a ten-meter range, numerous maggots would emerge from the ground, gnawing away at the fragmented flesh of the ghouls, all to replenish the Baron’s power.
Mad Feast Baron was the strongest individual among the six barons… Due to his devouring special trait combined with his superior regenerative abilities, he could endlessly battle on the battlefield.
He used brute force and terrifying intimidation to crush his enemies completely.
Also, because the Mad Feast Baron is an[Insect Transformer], apart from showing respect to the Count, he has extra respect for the Grand Steward sent by the Blood God Sect, the Insect Ancestor… This made the Count very uncomfortable.
With the appearance of four super-size worms and the Mad Feast Baron himself, the situation was turned around.
The thousands of ghouls were rapidly being eliminated.
Even if the ghouls tried to burrow underground to escape, they couldn’t compete with these burrowing worms… being eaten was an inevitable outcome.
“Alas… These are the ghouls I’ve painstakingly mass-produced over the past three months and now they’re all gone! Doctor, all these ghouls have been fitted with a ‘Plague Jar’ as per the design plan, right?”
“Yes, they have all been equipped with this device as per the Messenger’s instructions… The plague stored in the jar, as per master’s instructions, is mixed with a small amount of Death Plague left by the footprints of the Old King.”
“Let’s bring peace to the battlefield and start over… I didn’t expect the Count to be breeding such huge worms underground. Fortunately, I was prepared.”
On the shattered battlefield.
The eyes of the ghouls flamed with a turquoise glow as they violently threw themselves at the four gigantic worms… before they could tear their skins, they were rapidly swallowed by the worms.
As all the ghouls were swallowed, the situation dramatically changed.
A wave of dark green light overflowed from within the bodies of the giant worms.
Bang! Bang! ~
A series of explosions were heard one after another.
Both rupturing the worms’ body cavity and rapidly spreading an eerie green plague inside… Because each worm swallowed hundreds of ghouls, the plague spread instantaneously to every part of their bodies.
Boom…
Due to the plague covering their entire bodies, the giant worms struggled in agony, causing further destruction to the battlefield.
In no time, all the worms quieted down, dead.
Only the Mad Feast Baron and Baron Graves remained, with no additional offensive moves for the time being.
Thus, the battlefield returned to silence.
Quietly waiting for the next batch of troops to be deployed from both sides…
