492: Sakura Country's Assist

The effect of the Beast Lure Incense was incredibly potent.

As the scent diffused, the overwhelming Magic Tide, which had been relentlessly assaulting the city, abruptly halted its advance, and countless pairs of crimson eyes turned towards the source of the scent.

Under the gaze of these myriad eyes, filled with cruelty and savagery, an ordinary person would likely collapse mentally.

But at this moment, Wang Chen's heart swelled with pleasant surprise.

This Beast Lure Incense came at just the right time, how marvelous!

Before, he had to actively search for wild monsters and demons; now, these creatures were all rushing to their deaths.

Even the few demon lords hidden in the shadows began to move their auras towards this direction.

“This is great.”

“The battle is truly about to become Ice Purity's solo performance!”

With Ice Purity summoned above, the wild monsters and demons that stepped into the Ice Hell fell like cut wheat, one after another, the speed of slaughter increasing tenfold.

In just a few minutes, the ice shards formed from the shattered wild monsters and demons on the ground were almost ankle-deep.

And in this situation, the wild monsters and demons, whose bloodlust had been completely ignited by the Beast Lure Incense, showed no fear whatsoever, charging in wave after wave.

Wang Chen merely stood at the center of the Ice Hell at this moment, occasionally striking down any wild monsters and demons that weren't frozen, and his experience points soared like a rocket.

“Mu Ling, be ready to restore Ice Purity's status at all times.”

“Susu and Tuantuan, the rest of these guys are up to you.”

In the end, looking at the wild monsters and demons that survived within the Ice Hell, Wang Chen was too lazy to act himself, directly handing them over to the little ones, while he pulled Manoya Tomoaki aside.

“Tell me about the situation of your thousand-man squad.”

Looking at Manoya Tomoaki, who had been completely brainwashed, Wang Chen asked indifferently.

“Yes, Great Master.”

Manoya Tomoaki replied with a fervent expression, then unhesitatingly divulged everything about the thousand-man squad.

The thousand-man squad from Sakura Country that came to Ansos Earl Territory was the sixth thousand-man squad of the Flourishing Flower Legion, with a full complement of 1,126 people.

Of course, now only a little over a thousand remained.

The Commander of the thousand-man squad was Inao Kazuhisa, a Rank 200 Seven-Turn ninja, whose strength ranked among the top ten in the Prosperity Legion; below him was Manoya Tomoaki, a Rank 195 Seven-Turn ninja, and besides them were ten Six-Turn Centurions with an average Rank of 170-180.

The professional composition of the entire thousand-man squad was primarily ninjas and samurai, supplemented by Onmyoji and mages.

“If that's all, after resolving the Magic Tide, we can completely devour them.”

After listening to Manoya Tomoaki's introduction, a hint of coldness appeared on Wang Chen's face.

“You hide and stay by my side for now; act according to my command when the time comes.”

Having made up his mind, he instructed Manoya Tomoaki, then used his portable military communication device to have Li Yujiu's side prepare.

… …

… …

“Roar, roar, roar!!”

Earth-shattering roars rose and fell, and the thick scent of blood dyed the dim sky a blood-red hue.

However, although the Magic Tide's assault continued, the city wall, as the primary target of attack, experienced an eerie calm.

The wild monsters and demons, as if driven mad, completely ignored the numerous human auras within the city and instead charged one after another towards a certain spot in the center of the Magic Tide.

“It's finally begun!”

“It seems Zhenye-kun did well; today, this Ansos Earl Territory will be Wang Chen's grave!”

On the city wall, seeing that the Magic Tide was no longer attacking, Inao Kazuhisa ordered his soldiers to cease fire, a look of excitement on his face.

He was already impatient to see Wang Chen torn to shreds within the Magic Tide.

“Tell the men to keep a close eye on the Dragon Country fellows; they absolutely cannot be allowed to leave the city wall to rescue Wang Chen.”

Summoning a trusted subordinate and issuing the order, Inao Kazuhisa put away the smile on his face and strode towards the city gate tower.

“Li-san, I didn't expect you to personally lead the team for this rescue mission to Ansos Earl Territory?”

As soon as he arrived, Inao Kazuhisa saw Li Yujiu standing with Lord Ansuosi.

As his gaze swept around, not seeing any other Dragon Country Seven-Turn here, a hint of joy involuntarily surfaced in Inao Kazuhisa's eyes.

The chances of the plan succeeding were even greater now; he alone would be more than enough to stop Li Yujiu.

“Look who it is!”

“So, the Commander Daowei who was too scared to come out because of the Magic Tide?”

Li Yujiu saw Inao Kazuhisa approaching and a disdainful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Hearing these sarcastic words, Inao Kazuhisa's expression stiffened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

However, he did not react at this moment, glaring at Lord Ansuosi who had approached, and walked directly to Li Yujiu's side.

“Li-san is joking; I was just waiting for your army to arrive so we could flank the Magic Tide together.”

“Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Li-san on your promotion to Commander.”

As they stood, Inao Kazuhisa occupied the best position for an attack.

“Heh heh!”

“Commander Daowei, please don't speak nonsense; I am merely a Deputy Officer.”

Li Yujiu easily saw through Inao Kazuhisa's little scheme, he sneered and replied indifferently.

“What?”

“Li-san isn't a Commander?”

Inao Kazuhisa feigned surprise and said indignantly:

“Who else in the Fierce Tiger Legion has more seniority and more merits than you, Li-san?”

“You already know.”

Seeing Inao Kazuhisa playing dumb, Li Yujiu directly and unceremoniously exposed him:

“The one below is our Commander, Wang Chen!”

“I presume that name should be a household name in your Sakura Country, right?!”

“So, the brave warrior who dared to Charge into the Magic Tide is Wang Chen?”

Inao Kazuhisa no longer felt awkward at this point; instead, he said with a face full of admiration:

“No wonder he has such courage and such strength; the world's number one Prodigy truly lives up to his reputation!”

“Today, I can truly witness his demeanor!”

Hearing these dry words, Li Yujiu raised an eyebrow, and his eyes became playful.

“Then you should watch closely.”

“Commander-sama moves through the Magic Tide as if entering an uninhabited land; Your Excellency will likely not have the chance to see such a scene again in the future.”

Li Yujiu said with a hidden meaning.

Hearing his words, Inao Kazuhisa's eyes flickered, and an ominous feeling inexplicably arose in his heart.

“Has this guy figured it out?”

He pondered inwardly, his expression unchanged.

“Hahahaha, then I am fortunate to witness it today.”

Inao Kazuhisa let out a forced, hearty laugh, then turned his head to look at the distant Magic Tide.

Upon seeing it, his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

He saw that within the dark, overwhelming Magic Tide in the distance, a clear area with a diameter of a hundred meters had appeared, and the wildly charging wild monsters and demons were frozen into ice sculptures as soon as they entered that area.
