Chapter 95: Siege the City
Chapter 95: Siege the City
The Female Demon King only wanted to obtain the two horns on the head of the Horror Knight Commander. Hu Feng was even more thorough; he left an indelible mark deep in his mind and directly brought this power ful Horror Knight under his control. In doing so, he indirectly brought the remaining five hundred or so Dark Knights and the entire Temple of Terror under his control. He then summoned Yisu and the Night Elf Sarabell, quickly constructing a massive Magic Array to bring the many Dark Knights and the Temple of Terror back to the distant Lich Castle.
Bone Tower, Vampire Underground Palace, Witch Pavilion, Djinn Caves, Temple of Terror…
From then on, the creatures and buildings of Lich Castle gradually became complete, capable of continuously replenishing its military forces. The Temple of Terror could only summon one or two Dark Knights per day, a small number, but as top-tier Twelfth Step creatures, each one possessed extraordinary combat power. With the addition of these Dark Knights, the combat power of the Lich Legion had advanced to a higher level.
“My Lord, this is a Crystal Skeleton, sealing tens of thousands of powerful Souls!”
The Horror Knight Commander respectfully presented a crystal skull. Under the healing of Holy Angel Taliana, his severe injuries were quickly improving.
Hu Feng took the Crystal Skeleton, focused his mind to sense the Souls sealed within it, and nodded. “Good, very good. It seems the Old Ancestor Bone Demon indeed set his sights on this Wasteland; Baresa, besides the Sixth Step Skeleton King whom I killed, how many Commanders like you did the Old Ancestor Bone Demon send?”
“I do not know the specific number, nor where they are located. But as far as I know, besides us ordinary Commanders, several Demon Kings beside the Old Ancestor Bone Demon have also come to this Plane.” The Horror Knight Commander named Baresa paused, then continued: “Our mission, besides secretly and quickly building Undead structures to develop a castle and collect a large number of Souls, is more importantly to find the location of the remains of the Ancient Demon Gods.”
The remains of an Ancient Demon God?
Hu Feng felt a stir in his heart and remembered the Dreadlord, who was said to be imprisoned deep within the Cursed Valley.
Lawless Ancient Demon Gods!
If he could devour the residual power and thoughts from their remains, what level of power would he reach? At that time, in the entire Sunset Wasteland, or even the entire Plane, who would be his match?
The path of Cultivation was endless. Hu Feng was filled with a yearning and pursuit for powerful strength.
The more Ancient Divine Abilities one mastered, the greater one’s cultivation potential. However, only by mastering each Ancient Divine Ability could one possess true combat power. The Female Demon King was a clear example. Simply summoning a Killing God of War who had not yet fully awakened was enough for her to wreak havoc everywhere. If she were to summon a real Demon God Clone of the Killing God, not only would he not be a match, but perhaps even Holy Angel Taliana in her prime would not be her match!
After moving all the useful supplies from Chaos Burial Valley back to the distant Lich Castle, Hu Feng then quietly left, returning to the magnificent Sand City. In the dead of night, he suddenly appeared before Weinberg, the City Lord of Sand City.
“Brother Blackwater, this… this is…”
Seeing Baresa, the Horror Knight Commander, riding a Ghost Warhorse behind Hu Feng, with a body icy cold and radiating intense Killing Intent, Weinberg widened his eyes in surprise. The green-robed strategist beside him panickedly clapped his hands, and several Shadow Guards suddenly emerged from the darkness, each displaying powerful strength. However, looking at Hu Feng not far away, none dared to attack again.
Hu Feng’s terrifying Soul Attack last time had left them with a lesson they would never forget.
“Brother Weinberg, no need to be nervous. Now, this Horror Knight Commander is already my subordinate!” Hu Feng smiled, sat down on a high-backed chair without any reservation, and calmly continued: “The task you gave me has been completed. There is no longer any danger in Chaos Burial Valley. What about the things I asked for? I wonder how their preparation is going?”
“No problem, they were prepared long ago. We built a temporary Settlement outside the city, and have now recruited several hundred craftsmen and over twenty thousand refugees.”
Weinberg forced himself to stay calm, sat down opposite Hu Feng, kept a straight face, but was still internally shocked.
To quickly complete the task and bring such a powerful Horror Knight Commander under his control, how strong was his combat power?
Looking at Hu Feng opposite him, Weinberg’s gaze held not only respect but also a trace of fear. If he had personally gone out, eradicating the Temple of Terror would not have been a big problem, but to do so without any loss and to also bring the Horror Knight Commander, who had cultivated to the peak of the Fourteenth Step, under his control, that was impossible!
“Besides Black Horn, who else could nurture such an absolute genius, nurture such an Evil Prodigy?”
Weinberg and the green-robed strategist exchanged a glance, their minds in sync, further confirming Hu Feng’s identity. Pausing for a moment, he probed indirectly: “Brother Blackwater is indeed formidable. I didn’t expect you to kill all the Undead wandering in there so quickly. I wonder, did your other elite forces from the Black Horn Team join this operation, Brother Blackwater?”
Black Horn Team?
Hu Feng was slightly surprised, then quickly realized the situation, understanding that his alias, Blackwater, had clearly created a misconception for them. “No, some time ago, I did happen to meet Brother Hei Mu. However, we chatted for a while and then parted!”
Hu Feng neither directly denied nor admitted Weinberg’s speculation. His ambiguous response inadvertently deepened their suspicion.
Hei Mu Sword Saint?
Weinberg and the green-robed strategist exchanged a glance. Unable to contain their excitement and having confirmed Hu Feng’s identity, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For the past few days, the thought of the Morgan Family’s revenge had kept him awake at night, unable to sleep for entire days, resulting in a lot of white hair appearing on his head. With the support of Black Horn, things were different!
One of the Four Great Cities in the world!
The Morgan Family’s Thunderstorm City had immense power, but compared to Black Horn, one of the Four Great Cities in the world, it was far inferior. With Hu Feng’s support, it was equivalent to having the protection of Black Horn. In the Wasteland, who would dare to attack him?
“Hundreds of craftsmen and over twenty thousand people is too few. It must be increased tenfold, the more the better.” Hu Feng paused, then continued: “Also, Brother Weinberg, how is the preparation for attacking Cold Moon City going? I have an urgent matter to deal with recently and cannot delay here any longer.”
“Brother Blackwater, please rest assured. This time, we will join forces to destroy Cold Moon City. We will formally besiege it in three days! Regarding the population, we will find another way to recruit all the refugees within a radius of ten thousand miles.” Weinberg had grand ambitions. Although he had been firmly constrained by Cold Moon City in recent years, he never gave up his ambition to become an Overlord of his own territory. He quickly saw hope in Hu Feng. After a pause, he looked troubled and continued: “However, Cold Moon City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Cold Moon City Lord himself is even stronger. With only the military forces of our own Sand City, it is probably difficult to capture it quickly. Brother Blackwater, what do you think…”
“Leave the Cold Moon City Lord to me. As for the military forces…” Hu Feng looked at the troubled Weinberg, deliberately paused, then continued: “I can deploy fifty thousand archers and thirty thousand mages to participate in the battle. Don’t forget to build a large Teleportation Array near the battlefield in time!”
Eighty thousand long-range attack troops?
Weinberg was stunned, doubting if he had heard incorrectly, and exchanged a glance with the green-robed strategist beside him, overcome with joy. He ordered the message to be sent down, and they started acting immediately!
