Chapter 134: Chapter 130 Do Not Expose Your Strength_2

Such a long-distance journey, Qianhuo is sure that Tang Xichen and his group are too late to return for reinforcements.

Once Rosen returned.

"What did you find out?" Tang Xichen asked.

"The combined forces of the three lords are only a few thousand more than ours, the difference isn’t significant. However, I don’t think that’s the key point." Rosen replied.

"Any particular situation?"

"Yes, a colossal monster has appeared within Qianhuo’s territory. It can replace Qianhuo in creating lava areas, and the range it can generate is enormous. The monster’s attack is also quite fierce. I probed a little and my wings got scorched."

The two of them finally noticed the Frost Giant Dragon’s burnt wings, which were originally black and now look indistinct due to the scorching. If it weren’t for Rosen’s reminder, they almost ignored the smell of scorched feathers in the air.

"The monster you mentioned should be the Fire Demon. I heard from my father that once the Level 6 barracks outside Qianhuo’s fire elemental territory are upgraded, it can summon the Fire Demon. He has already upgraded his Level 6 barracks!"

Tang Xichen contemplated.

"Is his Level 6 barracks just limited to one troop slot?" Rosen asked, thinking that seems likely. Unlocking such a powerful Fire Demon, from a balanced perspective, the Level 6 barracks should not allow for more troop types.

"That’s correct, supposedly so. But the Fire Demon greatly enhances fire-attribute troops, the extent of which has not been publicly disclosed. I’ve heard numerous experienced lords have succumbed to the Fire Demon’s might."

"Despite its huge size, it’s merely a unit. Can it possibly withstand an entire army? How about its life and defense?"

"The Fire Demon’s health and armor are equivalent to that of a Level 6 Main City."

Upon hearing this, Rosen immediately thought of the Lattice Dragon he once unlocked from his beast cage; a colossal unit with life and armor akin to a barracks, but compared to the Fire Demon, it’s far inferior — not on the same tier.

"Then focus fire on attacking the Fire Demon. Let’s take down the Fire Demon first." Ye Yuxuan suggested.

"If it were that simple, those experienced lords could have managed it. In reality, once the Fire Demon is eradicated, the Level 6 barracks can summon it again, in just about ten minutes." Tang Xichen said.

"Then resolve Qianhuo’s territory within those ten minutes." Rosen stated.

This sounded arrogant, even insane — resolving a Level 6 territory in ten minutes, unimaginable.

Tang Xichen however nodded: "It’s the only solution."

...

Time is now an hour later.

The air perpetually churns with thick smoke, the ground incessantly bubbles and steams.

In Qianhuo’s territory, rain as big as beans falls continuously, with the Fire Demon’s fiery torrent rapidly pouring down, replenishing the extinguished lava.

Yet, as water vapor in the sky accumulates, it forms clouds, starting to rain.

The Fire Demon suddenly raises its head and spews a blazing flame skyward.

The clouds and rainwater instantly evaporate, and the flames blanket the entire battlefield once more.

That is the Sea of Fire skill!

Fire-attribute troops become excited, while many units that intruded into the lava zone are soon burned to ash.

On the outskirts of Flame Territory, Rosen’s Beastman Elemental Mages have all transformed into Water Element Mages, continually summoning abundant waterfalls to assault the lava area.

The power of the waterfall is equivalent to Tang Xuanze’s Water Escape Ninja deploying the Great Waterfall Technique.

But even so, it barely contends with the lava zone on equal terms.

The waterfall’s stream only invades the outermost region before evaporating into steam, and the scorching steam itself deals burn damage, hindering further army advancement, forcing Tang Xichen’s Angel Legion in the air to actively avoid the hot steam to prevent collateral damage.

Rosen’s Elemental Mages also keep retreating because he noticed the lava zone in Qianhuo’s territory constantly spreads towards the Elemental Mages’ position, not slowly.

"Previously when Qianhuo attacked, the lava zone’s spread wasn’t so fast; this must be part of the Fire Demon’s innate ability."

Rosen’s Elemental Mages could only retreat strategically, changing positions in an attempt to invade other areas within the territory and attack the Fire Demon.

For he observed that once the lava zone expands outward, the territory’s lava zone slowly diminishes.

This indicates that the Fire Demon can create a lava zone of a maximum area, unable to generate more beyond this limit.

Leveraging this finding, the Elemental Mages and Eight-winged Angels steadily test approaches to the Fire Demon, waiting for a chance to strike.

The Fire Demon also begins to take damage, yet the accumulated damage is scant.

Once the cooldown expires, the Fire Demon deploys another sea of fire, invading Elemental Mages and Eight-winged Angels, most fail to escape, and even those that do are in dire condition.

Meanwhile, Qianhuo’s two allies are not idle, as the Thunder Lord leads his Thunderbolt Legion to meet the Eight-winged Angels head-on.

When lightning clashes with angelic Holy Light, both forces notice these righteous powers of heaven and earth miraculously pass through one another.

Holy Light’s sword aura cannot halt lightning, and likewise, lightning fails to entangle the Holy Light’s sword aura.

Lightning courses over angels merely causing slight paralysis. In terms of attribute resistance, angels possess far superior resistance compared to ordinary non-attribute units.

Yet when the Holy Light sword aura strikes the Thunderbolt army, it causes significant wounds. The might of angels, even for attribute units, leaves them considerably vulnerable to the Holy Light’s resistive force, identical to common units.

Meaning, Tang Xichen’s Angel Army slightly suppresses the Thunder Lord’s forces.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuxuan leads the human army against the Wind Lord.

Ye Yuxuan’s command over her forces is somewhat lacking, resorting to aggressive assaults. She commands her largest unit, the Firearms Corps, to incessantly project flames towards attribute units.

Wind attribute units chaotically scatter, unable to maintain organization.

Who could have anticipated, the opponent would wield fire attribute units?

After all, fire overpowers wind, wind merely feeds the flames’ intensity.

"Damn, damn, damn! The enemy’s forces actually can fire flames, and in such massive numbers. Is this targeted against me specifically?"

A glance shows the Firearms Corps numbers thirteen per unit, with at least five thousand units, equating to over sixty thousand troops.

Sixty thousand simultaneous flames, who’s able to withstand that?

The Wind Lord initially loses three thousand troops; he promptly orders his forces to disperse to avoid being overwhelmed.

Ye Yuxuan herself did not expect against an experienced lord that she could take the upper hand, further empowered by her extensive Firearms Corps, brimming with confidence.

"Charge! Slay this wind attribute army!"

Ye Yuxuan exclaimed.

In this scenario, among the three confrontations, two are suppressing the opposition.

Rosen’s main force meanwhile targets Qianhuo directly, similarly with attribute supremacy, however, reality defies expectation. The threat from the lava zone and Fire Demon is overwhelming, water attribute forces ironically proving inadequate, becoming overwhelmed instead.

Rosen and Tang Xichen can only watch if Ye Yuxuan can prematurely eliminate the wind attribute forces, first breaking their support.

Meanwhile.

Outside the stage in the audience, Tang Xuanze observing the scene feels slightly relieved.

"Qianhuo’s Fire Demon indeed remarkable, but Xichen’s group of three, Xichen and that female classmate are steady in suppressing the Wind Lord and Thunder Lord. This situation looks promising, we just need Rosen to hold off Qianhuo as long as possible."

"If Rosen can stall sufficiently, all three can overpower Qianhuo together, maybe leading to a chance to kill the Fire Demon, opening an opportunity to attack Qianhuo’s territory."

Regarding this, Tang Xuanze feels hopeful.

Back to Rosen’s side, observing the current situation, Rosen’s thoughts are also turning.

"Xichen and Yu Xuan have done remarkably well, now the Angel Legion is no longer supporting me but fully engaged with the Thunderbolt Army."

"My pressure has increased, but it’s time to leverage the Golden Holy Dragon’s skill!"

"Sigh, without using skills, it seems untenable; I’ll have to reveal a bit, hopefully not too many notice, or else Xiaozhang’s name might spread, hard to say if they might trace it back to me?"

Rosen was also forced to act, as his water attribute army was instead suppressed by the fire attribute forces, with the opponent’s Fire Demon dauntingly powerful.

"I’ve no choice but to reveal true power now — Dragon’s Fury!"

Rosen suddenly opened his mouth and roared loudly towards the Flame Territory!
