Wild Demon Men Tribe

The elf priest also looked toward Zhou Yu. Compared with Mi Yue, he felt that Zhou Yu posed the greater threat.

As for Mi Yue, she had not used her full strength at all. She had not even assumed her Bloodkin form. From beginning to end, she had merely been probing the elf priest's strength. Moreover, her main skills were not high-powered spell attacks, which was why she had given the elf priest the illusion that she was weaker than Zhou Yu.

"Dark Elf Temple, follower of the Nature Goddess, Priest Alpha greets you." The elf priest stood before the natural barrier and spoke with a smile, as though greeting an old friend he had not seen in years.

Wild Demon Man Tian Ye had already led the foreign race legion inside. Watching Zhou Yu and Mi Yue confront the elf priest, his gaze burned with fervent intensity.

Miuo took a deep breath. Seeing that every member of the foreign race legion had arrived, joy flashed through his eyes. He no longer watched the battle between the three great mages. Time was pressing; they had to seize every moment!

"Move! Take the city walls and every strategic point at once!"

He let out a low roar and took the lead, swinging his greatsword as bloodlight flickered. He swept toward the Dark Elves rushing over in an endless stream!

The strength of a Fourth-Tier Swordmaster was displayed without reservation!

Tian Ye gazed reverently at Zhou Yu and Mi Yue, the two lords who were crushing the elf priest so thoroughly that he did not even dare move. Then his expression hardened, killing intent surging in his eyes. He flung out his double-bladed axe and charged after Miuo!

Tian Ye had been born among the Wild Men of the Messiah Great Forest. Silent Night Forest had once housed a powerful Wild Men tribe that, at its peak, had even dared challenge the neighboring nations. Until the Dark Elves arrived and slaughtered their people to the last. Had their ancestors not fled swiftly enough, the Wild Men might have long since been wiped out by the Dark Elves.

Unlike the other foreign races, who feared the Dark Elves, the Wild Men felt only hatred toward them.

A blood-deep feud as vast as the sea.

"Kill!!"

More than two thousand soldiers behind them erupted in roaring battle cries, charging into the flock like fierce tigers descending the mountain.

Blood splashed, bones scattered, and mutilated corpses fell everywhere. Miuo and Tian Ye served as the vanguard. The two Fourth-Tier experts were like a pair of meat grinders, leaving rivers of blood in their wake!

Their faces were icy cold, their Killing Intent soaring into the heavens. Blood flowed everywhere as one Dark Elf after another retreated step by step, drenched in sweat and utterly unable to stop them!

Suddenly, a figure in the distance entered Miuo's sight. He gave a cold smile, his face twisted in savagery, blood dripping down his features. He looked like a demon crawling up from hell!

"Die!"

With a thunderous shout, his burly body sprang upward like a ferocious leopard poised to strike, one blow meant to kill!

As he watched the Dark Elves fall back again and again, Bierteli's face turned pale as paper. He was preparing to slip away in secret. He had already been severely wounded; if he remained here, he would surely face death with only the faintest chance of survival.

As for the other Fourth-Tier experts in Oldwood Fortress, the Destruction Secretariat had long since picked them off one by one. Compared with Aini, who was fierce in a frontal assault, the other members were assassins. After entering Oldwood Fortress, they had specifically targeted the Dark Elf higher-ups and experts. This was also the key reason the Dark Elves had collapsed so quickly.

Suddenly, Bierteli's entire body stiffened. He turned around in horror, and his vision was instantly filled by a huge black axe, fierce and ruthless, its killing intent boiling over!

Like a dying beast, Bierteli roared, his face contorted as he watched the giant axe descend. A powerful will to survive burst from his eyes!

The longsword in his hand trembled violently and let out a mournful cry. True essence surged through his body as he poured his lifelong cultivation into this single strike!

All he asked was for this sword strike to force back his opponent. Only then could he live.

This was his thirst for life.

Clang!

Bierteli's all-out strike did indeed save him from being instantly killed by Tian Ye. But before he could rejoice, he saw a greatsword pierce through his chest.

It was Miuo's greatsword, its blade engraved with the Catfolk totem.

Miuo pulled out the greatsword without another glance and turned away. Blood covered the blade, dripping slowly down. Killing intent filled his eyes as he charged, like a crazed demon, toward the terrified Dark Elves around him with a cold, piercing howl.

Boom!

Blade marks crisscrossed the earth like scars. Gouts of hot blood sprayed out and flowed quietly downward, soon filling those trenches.

Bathed in hot blood, Miuo's eyes were crimson. Killing Intent stirred the empty air, sword aura coiling around him. He swept his gaze over the surroundings, looked at the Dark Elves who were too afraid to advance, and gave a disdainful sneer. Then he leaped up and rushed toward the city walls.

The brothers there had already taken control of most of the walls and begun moving the ballistae, turning their muzzles toward the natural barrier.

Watching the ballistae slowly turn into position, Alpha finally sighed and gave the order to retreat.

Once the ballistae on the walls fired, even he would not be able to withstand them. Oldwood Fortress had already fallen.

"Retreat!"

Alpha looked coldly at the two before him and said flatly, "We will return."

"Return? No need to hurry. Why don't we come find you instead?" Zhou Yu shot back.

Zhou Yu and Mi Yue descended to the ground. They coldly watched the retreating Dark Elves without saying anything, then turned and headed toward the castle at the center of Oldwood Fortress.

It was not that they did not want to keep the Dark Elves there, but the enemy still had quite a few surviving troops. To swallow them all in one bite would certainly cost a great price.

Despair Fortress had only just begun to show signs of prosperity. Zhou Yu would not squander his strength so recklessly.

As for the more than one hundred captured elves, Mi Yue took them all for herself. Given Mi Yue's nature, those Dark Elves, male or female, would all become her blood food.

The other foreign races inside Oldwood Fortress also left alongside the retreating Dark Elves and were not given any trouble.

This battle was meant to establish Despair Fortress's authority. At the same time, it needed to inherit Oldwood Fortress's trading position in the Messiah Great Forest, so naturally it could not drive all those merchants to extinction.

The next day, news spread throughout the Messiah Great Forest. Even the neighboring nations received word, shocking countless people.

Oldwood Fortress, which the Dark Elves had operated for over a century, had been breached!

Bierteli, the former lord of Oldwood Fortress, had been publicly beheaded, and his head was still hanging over the gates of Oldwood Fortress.

The new lord of Oldwood Fortress was Wild Demon Man Tian Ye.

All the Wild Demon Men were relocated into Oldwood Fortress. Under Zhou Yu's instruction, Tian Ye also began raising the banner of the former War God Tribe and gathering the Wild Men scattered throughout the Messiah Great Forest.

In a short time, Tian Ye had indeed gathered several thousand Wild Men and brought Oldwood Fortress completely under his control.

The Piten Tribe was nearly five hundred li from Oldwood Fortress. The land within several dozen li of the tribe was all their territory. Their numbers had long exceeded five thousand, making them a genuine major tribe within the Messiah Great Forest.

This time, they had been invited to Oldwood Fortress. On one hand, it was because of their hatred for the Dark Elves; on the other, they wanted to pick peaches. Such a vast Oldwood Fortress was occupied by fewer than four thousand Wild Demon Men, and those four thousand-odd Wild Demon Men belonged to more than a dozen tribes.

If their Piten Tribe went over, would they not be able to call the shots and become the great lords?
