Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107

Although Quicksand soldiers and Quicksand Priests are both tier five and can fly, their aerial maneuverability is poor, and it consumes more energy. Hence, unless there is a special circumstance, nobody would take to the skies.

Staying close to the ground, they didn’t notice the Hellfire Spiders Du You had buried beneath. Du You also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, those Quicksand Priests are quite distant, their attention is currently on the Lava Warriors and the arrows in the sky, and they haven’t realized there might be problems underground." Du You knew this was an oversight.

As the Sandpeople can burrow into the sands, the underground is their home field in the desert, so they typically don’t watch out for dangers below. Given the situation at hand, it was normal for them to overlook it.

Elsewhere, the Sandpeople also saw the Lava Warriors retreating and they too exhaled in relief.

"It seems this is all their powerhouses. The Divine Flame Empire is really generous, sending out so many people at once. It’s a pity they underestimated our resolve, or else these folks really could have held us back," they said.

Kaya spoke indifferently, "It’s not that they underestimated our resolve but rather that they didn’t expect our real target to be attacking the Divine Flame Empire from the south. They still think their target is just the Shenghai Kingdom. If it were as they imagined, these people could not only stop us, but they might even have the potential to counter-kill our troops."

Everyone nodded, agreeing deeply. They now understood why the previous vanguard had been completely annihilated.

With nearly a hundred tier five experts plus a terrifying archer, it would be strange if they didn’t die. Seeing that the Lava Warriors were nearly unable to hold on, their retreat speed was increasing rapidly.

Even just to mislead these guys, Du You had watched two Lava Warriors die without intervening.

"It’s about time, Yucha, Yu Shi, it’s your turn," said Du You coldly.

"Don’t worry, master, these people can’t trouble us," the two said confidently. With so many life-saving skills, even if they were surrounded, both were confident they could retreat safely.

Next, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi appeared at the rear of the battlefield, shooting arrow after arrow towards the Quicksand soldiers. Their sharp attacks immediately subjected the Quicksand soldiers and Quicksand Priests to immense pressure.

However, they discovered that the arrows that were previously raining down from the sky had stopped.

"It’s these two. Even within the Divine Flame Empire, they were definitely no ordinary people."

Seeing the two archers, and connecting it to the previous cessation of attacks, all the upper class Sandpeople’s eyes turned red with emotion. It was them who had left them in constant anxiety. They didn’t know whether the attacks were from one person or two, but it didn’t matter.

"We move as well, we can’t let them escape," said Kaya, who could no longer sit idle. Following Kaya’s movements, almost all of the upper class of the Sandpeople sprang into action. As for commanding troops, that wasn’t necessary anymore.

As long as these upper-class individuals were alive, the death toll among the Sandpeople, no matter how high, was inconsequential. Even the elite could be replaced by training a batch of ordinary Sandpeople civilians.

The Quicksand Priests began their spells, and one by one, sand serpents made of sand formed and slithered forward.

And Du You had remained hidden in the shadows, not appearing, staring intently at the Sandpeople charging toward the front. Tier five experts, with high combat strength and swift speeds, had fully entered his terrain before long.

"Can’t wait anymore," Du You’s eyes narrowed. Although the strongest among them hadn’t entered yet, Du You worried that a large number of priests arriving might discover something. Thus, with a thought, he decisively detonated all the Hellfire Spiders within the area.

"Boom"—A massive explosion erupted, tearing the ground apart, unleashing a Sand Wave even larger than those the priests had created.

Kaya, who had just approached, suddenly changed his expression. The immense feeling of danger from moments ago and the terrifying black flames and burst of heat that followed made Kaya’s heart skip a beat.

The power that erupted in an instant was beyond his imagination. If he had been in the midst of it, he doubted he could have survived.

As the Quicksand slowly dissipated and the black flames vanished, Kaya’s expression turned exceedingly grim. "Humans, you are courting death," he lamented heavily.

In that moment of explosion, a large number of Quicksand soldiers and a portion of the Quicksand Priests had vanished.

At this moment, of the remaining tier five Sandpeople experts, only about one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy were left. In just an instant, over a hundred tier five experts had perished. How was he to explain this to the others when he returned?

Even on the front lines of the battlefield, where the Sandpeople faced the sudden terrifying explosion, they all stopped and looked in this direction. But while they paused, the skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits did not. The slaughter resumed amidst screams of agony.

At this moment, Du You wore an unsatisfied expression. "There were too few Hellfire Spiders buried; otherwise, it would have been enough to trap them all."

Within the range of the explosion, there were well over two hundred tier five Sandpeople, yet less than half had died in the blast. Although he had buried many Hellfire Spiders, most were only tier three in power. The tier five power ones he had arranged were too few. If he had been more ruthless then, there wouldn’t be so many enemies left now.

Luo Jia did not hesitate and immediately issued prepared orders. A group of Lava Warriors coupled with the Fire Lizard Cavalry charged out, adding up to two hundred. This was the number Du You had previously set; it would only be increased if insufficient.

But his surprise attack strategy had been very successful, and it seemed unlikely that he would need to expose more combat power following this.

These experts were not just those appearing at the front; some were also at the back. At this moment, the tier five Quicksand soldiers were already surrounded. Even for the Sandpeople’s regular army, facing such a scene, they were deeply apprehensive.

"Humans, you will certainly pay the price," Kaya roared angrily.

"Whether we will pay the price or not, we don’t know, but you will certainly pay the price." Du You had seen a lot of such bandit logic, and he wasn’t the least bit moved by it, nor did he bother to refute.

"So you are the king of Shenghai Kingdom! Indeed, quite exceptional," Kaya looked at Du You. Du You was startled, then remembered the badge on his person. As a king, he could not wear items like the Crown Scepter when out, but Shaliya had him wear the badge, a symbol of his status.

"As long as I kill you, Shenghai Kingdom will collapse just the same, so I have not lost yet." Kaya immediately focused on Du You. The death of a king carried severe consequences. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
