Chapter 317 - 75: Entering the Field Personally
Chapter 317 - 75: Entering the Field Personally
"Bastards!"
The furious roar echoed inside and outside the Green Castle, and all the Green-skinned Ghost Men dared not breathe a word.
The king of the Green Ghost Race, ’Medici’, sat on the throne, coldly surveying the surroundings, and slowly said,
"Because of your negligence, our race has lost another strong warrior."
The Green-skinned Ghost Men below did not dare to speak.
To this, the Green Ghost King snorted with dissatisfaction, feeling quite troubled.
It also knew that it couldn’t blame these subordinates.
The Demon Army to the east had already tied up a large number of the Green Ghost Race’s strong fighters, and as the king, it naturally needed to remain at the front lines to hold back the top fighters of the Demon Army.
At such a time, a not-so-weak demon unit suddenly appeared at the rear of the main camp, and only two Legendary Ghostmen were stationed at the base camp, one of whom definitely needed to stay behind to guard the camp, fearing the enemy might feign an attack here and strike elsewhere.
Thinking of this, the Green Ghost King slowly exhaled a breath, secretly hating, "One year! These demons have only been invading for a year and have already slaughtered over a billion of our Green Ghost Race, with hundreds of Ghostmen dead, and five Legendary Green Ghostmen fallen!"
This was only their Green Ghost Race; the casualties of the Red Ghosts, Frost Ghosts, Purple Demon Ghosts, and White Ghosts would not be fewer.
The total casualties of all the Ghost Races combined were definitely a staggering number!
But if it was just the ordinary Little Ghosts being killed, it wouldn’t be too bad. After all, over ninety percent of the space in this plane was occupied by the Ghost Race, and the number of Little Ghosts bred was in the tens of billions, so losing a few billion wouldn’t matter much.
The main concern was the Legendary Ghostmen; each one was a pillar of the race. Losing one was a loss to the race’s foundation.
"If this continues, our Ghost Race is bound to head towards extinction." The Green Ghost King’s ’Medici’ mood was somewhat heavy.
The more knowledge Medici acquired about the Abyss from these demon minds, the more terrified he felt.
The Bottomless Abyss... with countless Abyss Lords, and every moment, every second, an endless number of Abyss Demons being born from the Source Sea.
The reproductive ability and population of their Ghost Race, which they had been proud of, were as insignificant and pitiable as mayflies compared to the Abyss.
The only thing giving Medici and other Ghost Race kings hope was that the Abyss’s power was not unified, and currently invading their plane was merely one not-so-powerful Abyss Lord, and those Abyssal Armies were only gathered by this Abyss Lord.
Additionally, with the plane’s tier restricted to Tier Two, that Abyss Lord’s true body couldn’t come over and could only send underlings to attack, which was how the Ghost Race Plane managed to withstand the pressure temporarily.
However.... the several Ghost Race kings had also communicated with each other, and the concern was if this stalemate dragged on for too long, would that Abyss Lord become enraged and open their Ghost Race Plane to other Abyss Lords....
About this, the several Ghost Race kings didn’t dare to think deeply.
Just the invasion of an Abyss Lord alone put immense pressure on the entire Ghost Race, if more Abyss Lords were to join, then.... does it even need to be said what the outcome for the Ghost Race would be?
Brutally slaughtered, with their souls devoured, and then the entire plane dragged into the Abyss.
Medici felt somewhat restless, took a deep breath, then looked at the ministers below, and slowly spoke,
"Dai, you stay at the main camp, hold the fort with Ji.... If that demon unit continues to act up, as long as they don’t enter the core area, you two need not intervene, but if they step into the core area, you must kill them at all costs!"
To be able to kill Za, that required a strong presence among the Legendary First Tier, besides Medici, only Dai had the confidence to kill such a formidable opponent.
The other Legendary Green Ghostmen’s strengths were mostly mediocre at best, even among the First Tier.
After all, they had no various professional legacies and relied purely on abilities developed from their bloodlines.
But even the Giant Dragon Race would learn other means besides their bloodline to strengthen their weaknesses, what qualification does the Ghost Race have to not learn and only rely on their bloodline to think they can compete with the various cultivation systems evolved by countless races in the Star Realm?
Therefore, this past year, the entire Ghost Race actively entered a state of frenzy, learning the cultivation knowledge of the Star Realm.
Many demons would carry their entire wealth, as after all, wealth is something that cannot be taken into life or taken away in death.
It is precisely because of this that the Ghost Race has the opportunity to obtain cultivation knowledge.
"With me here, nothing can go wrong at the rear."
The plain-looking Green-skinned Ghost Man stepped out from the crowd, knelt on one knee to receive the command, his eyes firm and cold.
From the eyes of the surrounding Ghostmen, it could be seen that they had great awe and respect for this Green-skinned Ghost Man called ’Dai’.
Dai, with cultivation of no more than a hundred years, has defeated over ten Legendary members of the Ghost Race, and in this year of demon invasion, he fought to the death to kill a Legendary Demon, and after recovering from his injuries, he quickly advanced to Tier Two.
In the Green Ghost Race, he was the strongest below the Green Ghost King, ranking among the top tier fighters in the entire Ghost Race Plane!
....
Aoqi and a group of demons, after killing the Legendary Green Ghostman, went silent for a while, then couldn’t restrain themselves and sprang back out.
Leading the Demon Legion to continue ravaging this forest.
