Battle of Oldwood Fortress

But Mi Yue still chose a night raid; naturally, she had her reasons.

Shadow Moon spread out, directly enveloping the nearly hundred people around Mi Yue, transforming into a black shadow that slithered across the ground toward Oldwood Fortress.

Because of their speed and the cover of night, even the Dark Elves, who possessed night vision, could not detect Shadow Moon at once.

Soon, they arrived beneath Oldwood Fortress's walls. Mi Yue gave a slight nod, black mist shrouding her entire body as she completely merged with the night, almost impossible to make out.

With a light leap, Mi Yue stepped onto the city wall. A few paces away, Dark Elf soldiers stood ramrod straight, yet they had not noticed a thing.

With a cold smile, she abruptly reached out and covered an elf's mouth, then sank her sharp fangs into him.

This time, Mi Yue did not drain him dry, merely taking a taste before stopping.

Red light shot from the Dark Elf's eyes as he was about to collapse. He then stood straight in his original position, and even when foreign soldiers slipped past behind him, he turned a blind eye, instead continuously sweeping his gaze over the surrounding patrols.

Turning others into Bloodkin was Mi Yue's exclusive skill since arriving in this other world. However, she could only use it ten times a day, and the strength of those transformed into Bloodkin would increase by three to seven levels.

After successfully transforming ten Dark Elf soldiers to serve as cover, Mi Yue swiftly crept up behind a patrol.

Aini nodded, and a gleam slowly emerged from her back.

Dazzling blade radiance flashed, echoing the waning moon in the heavens. Blood light immediately burst throughout the patrol's area, corpses flying through the air one after another, expressions of shock frozen on their faces.

Several dozen meters away, Dark Elf soldiers stared in stunned confusion at the rain of blood filling the sky and the mangled corpses crashing down, utterly unable to understand what had happened.

But they quickly reacted.

Enemy attack!

Mi Yue's gaze was icy. She took one step, and the distance of several dozen meters vanished in an instant. Pain Shock erupted, and the sky, which had still held a trace of moonlight, went completely dark. Every Dark Elf caught within Pain Shock collapsed helplessly.

When Mi Yue revealed herself, her face was full of satisfaction, and she consciously licked the faint crimson at the corner of her lips.

Aini took the lead, charging and killing at the very front. More than a hundred figures were sent flying, blood splashing everywhere. Mutilated corpses lay all around, bone and blood carpeting the ground, drawing waves of regret from many other Destruction Secretariat members.

Mi Yue swept her cold gaze across the surroundings, taking in Oldwood Fortress, now thoroughly alarmed, and the Dark Elf soldiers charging madly toward them. Firelight blazed everywhere, while shouts of battle exploded like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

She paid them no heed, turning back to roar at Aini, "Go!"

After taking several steps, Mi Yue leapt down into the city!

Aini drew a deep breath, calming her blazing emotions before following her down.

Behind them, over a hundred elites had long since climbed onto the city wall. Their faces were cold as they watched the Dark Elf soldiers rush in from both sides, then suddenly roared, "Fight for despair!"

Boom!

The hundred moved as one. With every step, their longswords swung, their eyes burning with fervor. There was no need for defense; attack was all they needed.

Under the military training Avilan had emphasized, though their races were diverse, their long-term training had enabled them to swiftly become a single unit in battle.

Rubble flew, dust surged into the sky, and the hundred foreign warriors were like lions awakened from slumber, roaring savagely as they slaughtered their way through the heavens!

Blade light stretched without end, its edge dazzling. Even Fourth-Tier Swordmasters had to avoid their sharpness before them.

After advancing several hundred paces, corpses lay strewn across the ground. The hundred men panted lightly. Though their battle formation was immensely powerful, it only attacked and never defended; they could not sustain such intense assaults for long!

Numerous Dark Elf soldiers gripped their spears and retreated step by step, their legs trembling. Their gazes toward the foreign soldiers were filled with terror. When had they ever seen such a thing? What kind of people could train an army this horrifying?

Corpses covered the ground. Looking up, all they could see was red. The stench of blood assailed their noses, and the blood had nearly gathered into a river!

To them, such a sight was far too overwhelming.

"They're almost done for! Kill!"

Suddenly, a Dark Elf commander's eyes lit up. Overjoyed, a trace of color returned to his face as he roared and charged forward.

The other Dark Elves were invigorated by the sight and immediately rushed forward without regard for their lives. Kill!

For every person killed, they would be rewarded with a hundred drops of Moon Spring Water—the essential item Dark Elves needed to advance.

Their general had promised it with his own mouth!

Below the city wall, Aini's twin blades danced, blood spraying everywhere. Dark Elf soldiers fell one after another, their faces full of unwillingness and despair.

She then raised her head and looked at the gate before her, over ten meters high and almost entirely forged from refined iron. Reaching out to knock on it, she said with a headache, "I really wonder whether that thing Lord Avilan gave us will work."

It was a sealed crystal ball, with magical elemental fluctuations still flowing within. Following Avilan's instructions, Mi Yue fixed the crystal ball to the city gate, then backed away from it and activated it.

The magical elements that had been flowing slowly suddenly turned violent, finally erupting with dazzling blue light.

Rumble!!

Like heavenly thunder, deafening and earth-shaking, the city gate immediately shuddered violently. Dust billowed everywhere, and even a small section of the wall above the gate shook fiercely.

"What was that sound?"

Bierteli shuddered all over and looked down in horror. He saw countless tiny cracks instantly bursting open across the nearly indestructible city wall, and terror filled his heart.

He drew a deep breath, looked at the hundred-man formation not far away that was practically unstoppable, and roared, "For every enemy slain, reward one hundred drops of Moon Spring Water!"

Then, without bothering with anything else, he hurried toward the city gate. That was the true priority!

"Cough, cough!" Mi Yue was washed over by the smoke and dust from the explosion, coughing continuously.

"That power is way too terrifying!" Mi Yue said somewhat uneasily. If the blast had been directed at her, she did not dare imagine the consequences.

Bierteli, who had just arrived beneath the city wall, suddenly stopped. His pupils contracted sharply as he stared in shock at Mi Yue running out of the smoke and dust!!

Rumble rumble rumble!!

Before the horrified eyes of Bierteli and the hundreds of Dark Elf soldiers following closely behind, the ten-meter-tall steel city gate, weighing who knew how many tens of thousands of catties, was brought crashing down by some unknown method of Mi Yue's!

Smoke and dust filled the surroundings, blotting out the sky. For a long while, no one spoke; they could not say a single word.

Was she even human?

Were they really fighting such inhuman beings?

The many Dark Elf soldiers looked at one another, their bodies trembling, cold sweat dripping endlessly from their foreheads as they stared nervously ahead.

Mi Yue subconsciously covered her mouth and coughed once. Everyone hurriedly backed away several steps, swallowing hard in utter panic.

Bierteli's eyes flickered, his expression shifting unpredictably. Looking at the charming and beautiful Mi Yue, his face suddenly turned fierce. Could this woman be the Sixth-Tier Bloodkin Dixin had spoken of, the murderer who had killed Lord Eric?
