Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623: A Cold-blooded Woman
In the Bloody Evil World
The Bloody Plain of the Bloody Evil World was known as a land cursed by gods. If one were to dig up some of the soil, they would find that red blood flowed within. The entire plain was barren all year round. Not a single crop could be seen.
However, the Demon Night race had arrived at the place. Ever since then, thick purple trees had sprung up from the Bloody Plain.
The leaves of the purple trees were as sharp as knives. The trees looked similar to natural fortresses as they were wrapped entirely by the razor-sharp leaves.
The trees were called Purple Feather Trees, and only the Demon Night race had such trees. It would only take a few days to grow a palm-sized seed to a tree that towered to four hundred to five hundred feet tall.
The sharpness of the leaves on the treetops could be compared to a sacred weapon. They could easily hurt anyone that would be stupid enough to touch one.
The trees were impervious to water and fire. Regardless of whether one buried the seed in solid rocks or in bitter seawater, it always developed, spread its roots and thrived.
Therefore, the Purple Feather Trees were the mobile palaces the Demon Night race used whenever they were in a war. The trees that could be grown in such a short time would instantly be used to construct their headquarters.
The Demon Night race had settled down on the Bloody Plain during their fight with the ogres. In less than half a month, the Bloody Plain was already filled with Purple Feather Trees. These impenetrable fortresses were established in such a short time because of the trees.
Whoosh!
Dozens of bright silver dots of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the Bloody Evil World. Their radiance almost blinded anyone that saw them.
These dots of light were like the individual suns, that illuminated the dark Bloody Evil World as if it were morning. They streaked across the horizon, passed through mountains and rivers, and headed straight for the Bloody Plain. The direction the dots traveled to was towards the Purple Feather Trees on the Bloody Plain.
The first light dot exploded on the plain and created a powerful annihilation force that wrapped around ten Purple Feather Trees.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the ten Purple Feather Trees disappeared without a trace.
There were thousands of Demon Night warriors on every Purple Feather Tree. When the dot of light smashed, the Demon Night race lost a massive amount of ten thousand people. Most of the warriors engulfed in the blast were world lords.
On the tallest Purple Feather Tree in the Bloody Plain, a blue-clothed woman suddenly appeared. She brandished her hammer in her hand. The hammer started to emit energy.
Almost instantaneously, the Thunder Law madly rushed out. After the Law Powers gathered together, they turned into a bolt of sharp lightning that shot towards the dots of light in the sky.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time a lightning tentacle came into contact with the circular light dots, it would instantly detonate the light dots!
All the dots of light were detonated in the air, and the light was ten times stronger than before. Under the strong light, the intense heat was released and spread out. The explosion scorched anything in its vicinity. The Purple Feather Trees closest to the light dots were instantly ignited by the heat and began to burn one after another. Many Demon Night warriors escaped from the Purple Feather Trees. Their miserable screams could be heard by everyone.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three streaks of light shot towards the largest Purple Feather Tree. Shockingly, they were the three grand world lords of the Demon Night race. After the three grand world lords leaped onto the tree's crown, they knelt down in front of the blue-clothed woman. Respect and admiration appeared in the grand world lords' eyes as they gazed upon the woman. ɽä𐌽∅ВÈš
“My queen! It was the ogres' scheme to make us retreat to the Bloody Plain. Those imbeciles had such a devious plan! In just a few short days, more than half of our Demon Night warriors have died. Should we evacuate first?”
“My queen, our enemies may seem reckless, but they are actually quite cunning. They want to exterminate us with such underhanded methods!”
“My queen…”
The three grand world lords of the Demon Night race were the three major generals of their expedition. Power and wisdom were necessary for their position.
The Demon Night race had suffered heavy casualties after they had entered the Bloody Evil World. The three grand world lords felt pain in their hearts as they grieved for their companions.
On the surface, the warriors of the Demon Night race were supposed to be superior to the ogres, whether it was in terms of intelligence or strength. But after the real fight, the Demon Night race found that the ogres far exceeded their imagination.
The ogres that looked foolish and ugly seemed to come to their senses suddenly. Their actions began to be very smart. This was something that the Demon Night race had never expected.
The ogres had set up a powerful barrier in the Bloody Evil World. The warriors of the Demon Night race were forced to build their headquarters in the Bloody Plain. Nonetheless, the Demon Night race became living targets for the ogres.
The bombardments from the ogres were ineffective against Supreme Lords. However, the other warriors of the Demon Night race had suffered terrible losses against the ogres' attacks.
Elena stood at the end of the branch. Her long skirt fell down from the tree trunk several dozen feet away. A finger-thick branch supported her whole body as if she was weightless.
When she heard the persuasion of the three generals, her face remained expressionless. “I understand. You can leave now!” she said in an indifferent tone.
“My queen!”
“My queen!”
Despair flashed across the faces of the three generals. Their voices reflected their negative sentiment.
As members of the Demon Night race, they were absolutely loyal to their queen.
Even if Elena had suddenly led them to become the enemies of the whole universe and sided with the Sacred race, they didn't hesitate and did as they were told.
However, Elena didn't have the slightest bit of mercy or care for her own people. She had slaughtered her way through the ogres' supreme world, but at the cost of countless lives of Demon Night warriors. The lives of her own people were sacrificed to pave the way for her desires.
Elena's actions made the Demon Night warriors feel a chill in their spines. They were confused as to what the purpose of her actions was.
“Get out of my sight already!” When she saw that the three generals were still on their knees, Elena's face flashed with a trace of viciousness. Her eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at the three warriors still in front of her.
However, the three generals remained unmoved. Their faces were filled with despair as they stared at Elena. Sorrowful eyes revealed their hopelessness.
“How dare you disobey me! What do you want?” A cold smile suddenly appeared on Elena's face. An invisible pressure spread out, which caused the surrounding space to faintly crackle with lightning bolts.
The harsh methods of the Queen of Punishment were well-known, but the three generals were already committed. They planned to stake their lives for the good of their people.
After they witnessed their companions get killed one by one and suffered from such an unexpected disaster, the generals were heartbroken. That was worse than their own deaths. To persuade their queen, they would rather accept Elena's punishment.
“My queen! Please consider our pleas! I hope that we can temporarily retreat! It is for the good of our people,” a general continued to beg.
Pah!
One after another, electric snakes appeared on the general's body. The snakes wrung around almost uncontrollably. Being devoured by the lighting, the general suddenly rolled away in pain. After just a few seconds, the general hung motionlessly at the side of the tree trunk as she trembled from head to toe. A burnt smell emanated from her body.
Elena's expression was cold as her gaze shifted to the other two. The two grand world lords were still as brave as before. Even after they saw the miserable state their companion was in, they didn't waver in the slightest. Their commitment to change her mind was enough to lay down their lives.
“Alas!” After she saw such committed expressions from the other generals, Elena let out a deep sigh. “In two days, Latonia's team should be able to reach the Bloody Evil World. We'll be able to break through this pass. I believe that the way before us will be unobstructed!”
“The way before us? What do you mean, my queen? Should we go ahead and fight the Celestial Position race? And how about the Thoughtless Minds? Are they going to be our enemies too?” one of the two generals asked politely.
In actuality, the strongest team of the Demon Night race should be the team of the Queen of Killings, namely the Saint Spear Sect. The group was led by Lavender, and they were the strongest sword of the Demon Night race. However, after Lavender disappeared, the members of the Saint Spear Sect were killed or prisoned.
With the current strength of the Demon Night race, it would be tough for them to face anyone of the strong forces of the humankind. Additionally, the three forces of the humankind and the Celestial Position race had long been tightly allied with each other. The Demon Night race would only rush their death if they dared to mess with them.
“The Sacred race won't just stand by and watch. In the end, the final victory belongs to us,” Elena replied in a confident voice.
“Does such a victory mean anything to us? Would it be really worth the sacrifices we've made?” The general gritted her teeth after she spoke. Regret was reflected in her tone.
Elena was slightly stunned. She paused for a while before she looked at the general again.
'She is right.
To the Demon Night race, such a victory would be meaningless.
However, for the Sacred race, for the person who planted the Soul-sealing Needle and created the Demon Night race, this matter would be of great significance!
This is my mission!' Elena thought. She grew even more devout to accomplish her goals.
As a result, she did not have the slightest bit of mercy for the deaths of her clansmen. She dismissed such casualties as necessary sacrifices.
“You don't need any meaning,” Elena replied coldly. Her eyes remained cold.
“My queen, you only need us to send ourselves to our deaths? You want us to fall on our swords for a victory without any importance?” the general asked in a worried voice.
“Yes,” Elena replied coldly. An expressionless face showed how little she cared for her people.
“You're crazy!” the general suddenly scolded in rage.
There had never been anyone from the Demon Night race who dared to speak to their queens like that. Even if some of their sinful fellow members of the Demon Night race had betrayed them, they would still not be dissatisfied with their queens. The queens of the Demon Night race were supposed to be absolute.
However, at that moment, the general reprimanded the Queen of Punishment right in front of her face. That was something that had never happened before in the Demon Night race.
“How dare you! Imbecile!”
Pah!
Lightning flashed in Elena's eyes. The general was struck by lightning and immediately tumbled down the tree. Smoke appeared from the general's body as a burnt smell filled the air.
Only one general was left in front of Elena.
“Are you going to reprimand me too? Who do you think you are?” Elena stared at her and asked in a scary tone.
The general was about to speak when something happened.
At that moment, a vicious, murderous intent was suddenly emitted from the Purple Feather Trees.
Like the palaces of the Demon Night race, there were queens' statues in every Purple Feather Tree. At this moment, the statue of the Queen of Killings emitted an intense red light. It was followed by an old and familiar voice.
“I am Supreme Lord Leroy, a representative of the Queen of Killings. I am here to issue a queen's order!”
