Chapter 1859 - 1853: You Really Think Highly of Me
"What the hell is that thing?" Everyone was looking at the general who had turned into a monster, covered in goosebumps, he didn’t look anything like his former self, more like he had turned into a complete monster.
"General?"
Someone tried to greet him, but he showed no response, unsure if he couldn’t hear or if he had become heartless, not even looking in their direction.
"The General seems to be acting strangely."
"That’s stating the obvious, anyone with eyes can see he’s acting weird. Who drools like that for no reason?"
"And look at his fingernails, my wife’s manicures aren’t even that long."
...
"This... Night Demons! These are Night Demons!"
Suddenly, someone in the army cried out.
That person was also one of the generals, Zhang Menglong had no impression of him, but he should be someone who participated in the superpower selection recently; either he survived but wasn’t selected, became a trainee but failed the test, or is currently performing some task.
However, it was clear, he has surely witnessed the terrifying infection ability of the Night Demons. He could not have imagined that someone could actually bring Night Demons from the Ancient Cave Heaven.
Moreover, this is not Ancient Cave Heaven, ordinary light had no effect on Night Demons, and strangely, even though it’s daytime, they still retained their unlimited regeneration ability from the night.
He naturally could not have known that what Zhang Menglong unleashed was not the common Night Demons, but rather the more advanced Blood Demons.
"Night Demons? What are Night Demons?" Panic instantly spread through the opposing army.
"I’ve heard of it; it appeared during this superpower selection, a creature with extremely strong regeneration and a natural instinct to kill. It also has a very powerful infection ability; once caught, you immediately turn into an identical monster!"
"Really? That’s horrifying! Is there no way to stop this infection?"
"What? Why are you still standing there? Run!"
In the armies of the two nations, panic quickly spread. This creature seemed made for large-scale warfare, highly infectious, and impossible to kill. If it infiltrated an army, it would instantly be a disaster.
But when trying to escape now, it’s already too late. Zhang Menglong doesn’t like killing, but when he thought of the Yanlan Empire’s citizens who died tragically, he couldn’t remain rational; from yesterday, the massacre had already taken over his heart.
As two Blood Demons charged into the opposing army, chaos instantly erupted within the forces.
Two Divine Cultivator Peak Blood Demons faced no resistance in these armies, and the two Blood Demons only wound people, not kill them. Their sole aim is to infect the entire army, turning it into an immortal Blood Demon army!
Two fell, and within a minute stood up again, the Blood Demons grew from two to four.
Four fell, this time turning into eight Blood Demons.
Sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four...
This infection rate in such dense crowds could only be described as terrifying.
At this rate, the armies of these two nations would soon become two Blood Demon armies!
Finally, those at the rear of the army noticed something was wrong, but it was too late, former comrades were now gaping maws and sharp claws.
"Xiao’er, this..." Gu Cong watched the scene unfold; as a Guardian and army general, such a lethal weapon was something he had dreamed of, with such a thing in warfare, who could lose?
In just a few minutes, the enemy forces toppled like layers of straw, even the fleeing soldiers were quickly chased down by Blood Demons from the rear. Soon, a Blood Demon army was born.
"These are Blood Demons," Zhang Menglong laughed, "I brought them out from Ancient Cave Heaven, impressive, right?"
Zhang Menglong waved to the Gu Family army, "Brothers, you can all go home to eat now, it’s over."
...
"Is it really over?"
"How long did it take? Two armies, just gone like that?"
"Young Master Gu Xiao is truly incredible."
"Yeah, even if more came from the other side, it wouldn’t matter unless they could instantly kill this monster. If anyone gets injured, the numbers rise exponentially, it’s only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out."
"Young Master Gu Xiao, mighty!"
"Young Master, impressive!"
"Long live the Young Master!"
...
"Xiao’er, how do we deal with these Blood Demons?" Gu Cong asked.
"Of course, give those two Empires a big gift!" Zhang Menglong sneered, "They must have slaughtered many of our Yanlan Empire’s citizens on their way!"
"Indeed," Lan Xin stepped forward and said, "They fought from the border all the way to Gu Yang City, passing through a total of 27 cities. Apart from the latter cities retreating under Father’s organization, the first 9 cities were completely massacred, with almost no survivors."
Speaking of which, even Lan Xin’s eyes started to redden.
"Beasts, they truly deserve to die!" Zhang Menglong hardened his heart, "Go directly to their capital, don’t kill the elderly, children, or women, don’t kill powerless ordinary civilians, kill military personnel, kill anyone who blocks the way, kill Royal Family members!"
Upon receiving Zhang Menglong’s orders, the two Blood Demon armies turned and charged back in the direction they had come.
"Wait!" Zhang Menglong suddenly remembered something, "A third of them should return, half should support other directions, and the last half, rebuild the destroyed cities. This free labor can’t be wasted!"
Although the Blood Demons had lost conscious independence, they were obedient to the Controller’s orders. Their prior skills, knowledge, and instincts remained intact, making rebuilding cities a straightforward task."
"Xiao’er, let’s return to the city, I shall personally cook to welcome you home!" Gu Cong was overjoyed that Gu Yang City was preserved.
"Father, we might have to wait a bit longer."
"Hmm? Is there something else?"
"Father, do you think these nations suddenly attacked the Yanlan Empire merely to expand territory, seize resources? Or just to kill?"
"You mean..."
"They came for me," Zhang Menglong sneered, "The real instigators and culprits haven’t made themselves known yet!"
"Those old dogs, hurry up and come out, I know you’re waiting for me to show up. Now that I’m here, can you reveal yourselves?" Zhang Menglong said to the empty square.
"Kid, you have such skills!" An elderly voice immediately came from the front as a group of people in golden robes appeared before them.
"Oh?" Zhang Menglong’s lips curled slightly, "Sent over 50 Elders to capture me, they must really value me!"
