d agile and ferocious draconian soldiers poured out of the fortress.

Meanwhile, elven archers, mages, and beholders continued to rain down arrows, spells, and beams on the fleeing enemy.

When the Kolo army finally broke free from the hellish battlefield, their once 15,000 strong force had dwindled to a mere 6,000 to 7,000 survivors.

“How could this happen?”

“How can the Demon King's army be so powerful?”

“And why does he have so many troops stationed in the Blood Fortress?”

“He should be preoccupied with the Magi Mojo City, the Ironheart City of the dwarves, and the giant's Thunder City.
Why can he still amass such a formidable army here?”

“……”

The knights of the Kolo family and the Heroes of the three major Hero guilds were all left in shock and despair, their morale crushed by the devastating defeat.

Li Tianyan's face turned grim, “We underestimated the size of the Demon King's army.
The troops he sent to attack the fortress were not his full strength, and far from it!”

“Damn it!”

“We fell for it!”

“This is a devastating loss!”

“It's not safe here.
We just barely shook off our pursuers.
We cannot get stuck again.
Let's hurry back to Count Kolo's territory!”

“You're right!”

“Let's go!”

……

The Heroes, knights, and mercenaries dared not linger.

The orc wolf riders were fast, and the draconian forces included flying super soldiers.
Even among the elves, there were dragonhawk mages and archers.

Every second of delay could mean an increased risk of danger.

Now was not the time to rest.

After a brief adjustment, the group immediately headed north.

As long as they returned to Count Kolo's territory, they would be safe within the empire garrison's protection.

Soon, they passed through a mountainous area.

This was a necessary route to and from the Chaos Forest.

If they took a detour, their journey would be extended several times.

Fortunately, the terrain was not steep, so it would not impede the army's marching speed.

Upon seeing the mountains ahead, the Kolo knight commander suddenly had a bad feeling.

He sensed that this place was particularly ominous.

But it was too late.

The enemy forces appeared from all sides.

Zhang San appeared in front of the remaining soldiers, accompanied by two Dragon Marshals and a High Priest, with a sinister grin on his face.

“Oh no!”

“It's the Demon King!”

“We've been ambushed!”

“But how can the Demon King be here?”

“…
“

Zhang San heard several leaders of the Heroes exclaim in horror, one after another.

He could not help feeling exasperated at the repeated misidentification-why did these guys always mistake him for the Demon King?

To these soldiers, he was seemingly an unstoppable, overwhelming presence that only a Demon King could possess.

Zhang San revealed a mocking smile.

These ants had such a limited imagination.

Only those who had never seen the vastness of the ocean would believe that the world was small, and only those who had never seen the starry sky would think the earth was vast.

“You pitiful creatures,” Zhang San mocked.

“Your miserable lives end here.”

Zhang San leaped into the air, his body ballooning hundreds of times its original size in an instant, transforming into a dozens of meters long unicorn diamond earth drake.

“Die!”

Zhang San slammed into the commander of the Kolo knights directly.

The human commander, who was strong, experienced, and had fought in many battles, had no strength left to resist at this moment and was instantly reduced into minced meat.

Not to mention that his Qi was almost depleted.

Even in his prime, the knight commander would have been no match for Zhang San.
Although both were commanders, the difference in power was simply too great.

“Kill them all!”

Both draconian marshals, Wang Er and Zhao Wu, as well as high priest Sun Liu, all joined in the slaughter.

With hundreds of draconian super soldiers with flying abilities amongst thousands of draconian troops, escape was all but impossible for the remaining Kolo forces.

……

In Giantree City.

Under the Tree of Miracle.

Zhang Nu opened his player log and scanned through it, only to find that in just one day, he had received a large amount of reward information.

[You've slain a Troll.
Gold +9!]

[You've slain a Troll Warrior.
Gold +20!]

[You've slain an Elite Troll Warrior.
Gold +90!]

[……]

[You've conquered “Magi Mojo City”!]

[You gained “Shining Mithril Chest” x1!]

Just by looking at the log, Zhang Nu knew that the draconian legion had gone on a killing spree in the Magi Mojo City.

After the massacre of about 100,000 trolls, Zhang Nu earned a total of 1.92 million gold.

The city was almost completely wiped out in the process.

Compared to Ironheart City, the Magi Mojo City's strength was far weaker, with a lower proportion of elite units, with only one elite unit for every ten or twenty normal units.

However, this was normal.

As armies with an elite unit per capita were rare, and even rarer were races with such a high proportion of elite units.

The trolls were on par with orcs and elves in terms of their combat abilities, and in places like Berserk Beast City and Giantree City, most of the residents were still regular units.

The situation in Ironheart City was quite special.

On the one hand, the dwarves were indeed strong, and on the other hand, the effect of daemon blood created tens of thousands of daemonized dwarven warriors, and all of these corrupted dwarven warriors were all elites.

Among the 100,000 trolls killed, there were 372 troll Heroes.

204 Level 1 fodders, 147 Level 2 elite Heroes, and 21 Level 3 powerhouses.

Still, the legion had gone a bit too far in their killing spree and needed to be more careful in the future.

Zhang Nu continued to scroll down.

He came across the latest battle logs.
