"..." Horne was left speechless by those words. They had struck a raw nerve, only strengthening his resolve to use this war to wash away the humiliation of the past.
Hao Yun gazed toward the Corpse Soil Continent and took out his communicator.
"Teacher Liang, you can set off now."
"Received!"
A firm reply came from the other side.
Immediately afterward, a large airship rose above the Star Destroyer, accompanied by dozens of aircraft. They turned into streaks of light and sped toward the Corpse Soil Continent like a meteor shower.
Leading the vanguard, Liang Yue was the first to enter the Southern Province.
The airship he rode was a command ship capable of carrying several thousand people, all of them carefully selected human elites.
Dozens of aircraft escorted it from the surrounding skies, creating an immense spectacle.
"Leia, I'm coming for you!"
Liang Yue's gaze was resolute as he stared ahead.
The human fleet swept across the lands of the Southern Province, roaring like enraged beasts and producing piercing sonic booms.
Above a barren mountain, several Crows had been resting on a massive boulder when they were soon startled by the sound.
Their red eyes lifted toward the streaks of light on the horizon.
"Caw—caw—caw."
The Crows immediately scattered, their shrill cries echoing all the way.
Meanwhile, Blood Fiend, the Eastern Province Overlord, was also preparing to depart. Before that, however, he had contacted the Zombie Kings of the other provinces.
Just as they had once joined forces to hunt the Otherworlders, they would now hunt humans together.
Only this time, the gathering place had been changed to the Southern Province Overlord Corpse Nest.
"Boss, with so many Zombie Kings here, will there even be enough humans to go around?" one of his confidants asked from beside him.
