Chapter 1033 - 40: Secretly Crossing Chen Cang (Part 2)
Mortals with superhuman attributes are everywhere (above twenty points), and the vast majority of creatures possess psychic energy. The wizards there extract life force from their surroundings to cast spells, nearly draining the entire planet.
Powerful sorcerer kings rule over the many city-states of that world.
"Gnolls can actually capture slaves from other crystal spheres?"
"No, that’s not it."
"It’s the power of the Convergence Gate. Only the portals constructed by the Obiris Demon Lords can break through the crystal spheres."
Duncan’s gaze flickered slightly as he gazed at the kneeling mortals before him, showing no trace of pity. He merely said to the red shroud beside him, "Reorganize them and distribute the weapons."
Those weaker mortals are long dead; those who survived have some level of strength.
Since gnolls do not produce or have enough food to feed them, human slaves are considered quickly consumable goods. The food they acquire is primarily of the humanoid variety. Over seventy percent of the humans here have eaten their own kind, and it’s mostly what the gnolls left over for them.
The Bottomless Abyss is like a massive cesspool.
Don’t expect a mortal to emerge clean after falling into a cesspool. Regardless of who they once were, they either die or fall. Even death is not a release; their souls will be captured by the Bottomless Abyss, converted into abyssal worms, never to be reborn.
"Yes," the red shroud nodded slightly.
Given her status, she doesn’t need to be so polite to Duncan, but she’s clearly putting on a show because she’s starting to regret her decision. She should have agreed to Duncan’s request earlier.
The leader of this camp was also a Legendary Purgatory Jackal Wolfman, whom Duncan split in half with one sword strike.
She somewhat suspects that Duncan could easily chop down a Balor!
"My lord."
"Can the sisters choose some slaves from these mortals?" a High-tier Enchanting Mage cautiously asked.
Duncan merely cast a cold glance at her, immediately terrifying the Enchanting Mage into trembling.
Disorganized nature, greedy and cunning.
The Enchanting Demon Queen Meikanshute spoiled them all, or perhaps they hadn’t endured enough training in the Abyssal Blood War. After rolling on the battlefield, they wouldn’t be this way.
Meikanshute didn’t give Duncan her true elites; at least, they aren’t Adele’s top troops.
What slaves? Nothing more than seeking some entertainment.
These mortals can’t withstand their torment; left unchecked, they would all be dead by the next day.
At that moment, Duncan suddenly turned his head, gazing towards the distant plain. He heard faint wolf howls, and at the far edge, a cavalry unit of over a hundred was rapidly approaching. Behind them was a massive army of thousands of Purgatory Jackal Wolfmen.
"Prepare for battle."
"Follow my command."
Having said that, Duncan glanced at the red shroud beside him, his tone heavy, "Those who disobey orders, the enforcement of military law is up to you."
Let’s fight a battle to see how they fare.
At the edge of the forest, a patrol of gnolls rapidly approached. After a brief scouting of the distant disturbance, confirming it was an enchanting invasion, they quickly summoned a large number of clan warriors from all directions.
These were the released wolf cubs.
Only the finest gnolls are selected to enter Yenogu City.
As hundreds of elite gnolls approached, accompanied by a chorus of wolf howls, thousands of troops gathered rapidly. Meanwhile, from the direction of the Liquid Forest, group after group of tribal gnoll hunters gradually closed in.
This was the stronghold of the Abyss Jackal Wolfmen. A single howl could summon numerous reinforcements.
Thousands of wild gnolls were gathered, organized into a simple legion by clan units. At the forefront was the hyena unit, tamed by the gnoll hunters, numbering over a thousand, their size akin to large dogs, surrounding them in a loose formation.
——Hyena Warband (Two-Star Silver Gray).
"It’s somewhat like the Roman Empire’s war dog units."
Duncan glanced at the red shroud beside him. Following his command, the Enchanting Demon Warriors, primarily male, began to form ranks in anticipation. However, their discipline was lacking, and the formation appeared crooked, falling short of a regular imperial legion.
Besides individual strength, they were nearly outclassed by the empire’s elite legions in every other aspect.
"As expected, the Enchanting Demons have reinforced."
A massive giant wolf appeared in the rear view. On its spine sat a Purgatory Jackal Wolfman, but its right hand was a menacing humanoid claw, seemingly belonging to a ghoul. It was the Purgatory Leader, gazing ahead, its dark green eyes revealing a hint of cruelty and eager hunger.
Death appendage integration.
Having lost a hand in battle, it was roughly fitted by Yenogu with the claw of a powerful ghoul.
——Zacna-Corrupt Claw (Abyss Jackal Wolfman) (Legendary Warrior) (Leader) (Five-Star Gold)!
It was one of the three gnoll generals of Yenogu City.
Under the Gnoll King’s command are three Legendary-level gnoll warriors: one stationed at the Howling Peaks, one cursed at the end of Bachard, and Zacna-Corrupt Claw charged with guarding Yenogu City.
"Let the wolf cubs first wear down their strength."
With a wave of Zacna-Corrupt Claw’s hand, the next moment, hundreds of hyenas howled. Driven by the gnoll hunters, they launched an assault on the forest ahead, remarkably similar to the Romans’ war dogs. Meanwhile, the Purgatory Jackal Wolfmen they led themselves held their ground, as, amid waves of howls, approximately three thousand wild gnolls gradually approached.
