307: Little bat?

“These winged monsters are as arrogant as ever!”

As the two Viscounts flew into the sky, a faint sneer echoed from the shadows not far from them.

The next second, the shadows rippled like water, and three figures emerged from them.

They were three Awakener assassins whose strength had reached Six-Turn.

“Say less, the one up there is a Blood Clan Prince, I don’t want to be implicated by you!”

Among the three, a mature-looking man looked at his companion with dissatisfaction and urged:

“Don’t waste time, quickly send a signal to Legion Commander. The Blood Clan Prince’s location has been determined, and now it’s time for those big shots to act.”

“We should go deal with those miscellaneous soldiers and grab a few more heads to earn some merit.”

These three belonged to the Swift Wind Legion.

As Yang Daoming’s Guardian Legion, the entire Swift Wind Legion was composed of Awakener assassins, highly mobile, and extremely skilled in assassination and decapitation operations.

After departing from the Human Fortress, they arrived at the Eternal Forest one step ahead of the Blood Clan and waited there for the Blood Clan to enter.

“Understood!”

The two companions nodded, one of them subtly glanced at the sky, a hint of regret on his face.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Marshal personally take action. It’s a pity we can’t watch the battle from the sidelines this time.”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for his companions to urge him, and activated his stealth skill again, disappearing into the shadows.

...

...

The Blood Clan’s two ace legions, like a massive dark cloud, surged into the sky above the Eternal Forest.

The chilling and evil aura, coupled with undisguised murderous intent, instantly plunged the Eternal Forest, which had become “vibrant” with the arrival of daytime, into silence.

Countless monsters felt the extremely oppressive aura in the sky; even the most irrational Vicious Beasts clamped their tails between their legs at this moment, lying obediently on the ground, trembling.

From time to time, they looked with fearful eyes at a magnificent airship in the center of the dark cloud.

That was the source of all the terrifying aura, and upon it existed a terrifying presence that made their Bloodline tremble.

On the airship deck.

“My Lord!”

“We have successfully entered the designated position, please give your instructions!”

One of the two Blood Clan Dukes leading the troops walked to Princess Manna’s side and reported meticulously.

“Act according to the pre-arranged plan!”

“Search the previously agreed-upon areas in ten-person squads.”

“If Wang Chen’s tracks are found, do not act immediately; send a signal at once.”

Manna heard this and gave the order without hesitation.

Soon.

After the order was given, the dark cloud shrouding the sky immediately dispersed, and Blood Clan ten-person squads descended into the Eternal Forest.

They maintained a fixed distance from each other, spreading out like a large net.

“Your Highness!”

When seeing the soldiers below spreading out like a large net in the Eternal Forest, one of Princess Manna’s personal guards on the airship deck suddenly asked:

“The operation has begun, should the airship immediately enter stealth mode?”

“No, just maintain vigilance.”

Princess Manna, holding a cup of fresh red blood, shook her head, her gaze still fixed on the Eternal Forest below.

“I want to see how that Human Race brat is driven out like a rat.”

Taking a sip of fresh blood, Princess Manna said with a charming laugh.

“This...”

Hearing this, the guard’s expression was somewhat hesitant.

“Your Highness, we are currently hovering in the sky, making us too obvious a target.”

“Furthermore, although we concealed our tracks along the way, we cannot guarantee that the Human Fortress there hasn’t detected any traces.”

The guard advised.

However, hearing his words, Princess Manna’s face showed a hint of disdain.

“Human Race? Heh heh!”

“What if those guys know?”

“They have a saying, ‘Distant water won’t quench present thirst.’ By the time they arrive here, my objective will have already been achieved.”

“At that time...”

Shaking the wine glass in her hand, Princess Manna said disdainfully:

“Do they dare to directly provoke a war?”

“...This.” The guard fell silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

However, just then.

Just as the guard was about to turn and relay the order, the weather suddenly changed.

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire airship.

“Little Bat!”

“This old man is very curious, where do you get the confidence to believe that my Human Race dares not provoke a war?”

A majestic yet playful voice echoed from all directions, each word like a clap of thunder, shaking the sky with a mighty roar.

“This...?”

“Human Race King-level?”

Princess Manna was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed across her pretty face, but then she sneered:

“How interesting!”

“A King-level dares to appear before me alone, you truly aren’t afraid of death!”

She herself possessed King-level combat power, and the airship beneath her was built with great expense, equipped with several powerful weapons, enough to contend with a King-level for a short time.

In Princess Manna’s view, a Human Race King-level of the same Realm blocking her way was simply seeking death!

“It seems today I not only have to eliminate a Human Race Genius, but also add a record of slaying a Human Race King-level to my book of merits!”

Sneering, Manna waved her hand, intending to activate the airship and force the hidden Human Race King-level to reveal himself.

However, just then.

“Ridiculous! Who said he was alone?”

As soon as the words fell, an aura capable of destroying the heavens and earth locked onto Princess Manna.

“Damn it!”

Princess Manna’s expression changed, and she instantly controlled the airship to evade.

With a boom!

A powerful force grazed the tail of the airship, striking the ground and directly creating a massive crater dozens of meters deep.

Countless boulders and earth were shaken and sent flying dozens of meters into the air.

“This...?”

“Two Human Race King-levels? How dare you leave the Human Fortress?”

Seeing this, Manna’s pupils contracted, and she unhesitatingly activated the defensive array on the airship.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

Boom!!

A layer of blood-colored light shield had just enveloped the entire airship, and the next second, a huge dent appeared on the surface of this light shield, and the entire airship spun and plummeted towards the ground.

With a crash!

The airship heavily impacted the ground, directly smashing cracks into the ground, and the entire defensive array flickered erratically, nearly shattering.

“Racial King, do you only know how to sneak attack?”

Vast demonic power surged from Manna’s body, controlling the airship to rise from the large pit, her face extremely grim as she stared at the sky.

“If we didn’t sneak attack, I’m afraid the moment you saw us, you would have fled in disarray!”

The next second, a playful voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

The space before Manna’s eyes flickered slightly, and then a figure appeared out of thin air.

This was an old man with white hair, past his seventies; his somewhat hunched body stood in mid-air, yet he gave off a feeling as if he could prop up the heavens and earth.
