Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 472: Unstoppable

Corpses covered the ground, while blood flowed until it formed a river.

There were many powerful guards next to the Red-robed Archbishop Sanjala and the Foreign Secretary Grichie, and many of them were Divine-Level or even Domain-Level Experts that possessed great power. But, it was a pity that they wouldn’t be able to persevere for long in the face of the Magical Beast Army’s crazy attacks, and they weren’t just unable to rush out, as they were even cornered further by the Magical Beasts surrounding them.

“Archbishop, it’s done for the knights in the barracks. The City Guard Army outside wasn’t just unable to launch an attack and make its way inside. It had even retreated further away.” A black-robed Spellcaster discerned the situation outside through a Detection Spell, and his face turned pale.

“What? They are done for?” The Red-robed Archbishop Sanjala had nearly gone crazy, and after he heard the shocking shrieks echoing from the outside, he realized that the current situation was anything but reassuring. He didn’t expect at all that a great army of 50,000 well-trained soldiers would be defeated so easily.

He wasn’t able to accept such news, and he personally cast a Detection Spell. But, the outcome had only let him descend into despair. Most soldiers were laying on the ground weakly, and they could only look on helplessly as Magical Beasts tore the soldiers to shreds, or as the bolts fired from the crossbows of the Bullmen and Barbarians turned the soldiers into hedgehogs. All soldiers’ foreheads had already turned black, and it was obvious that they were unknowingly poisoned by the enemies.

What should be done?

The Red-robed Archbishop Sanjala’s face was filled with despair, and this was also the case for the Foreign Secretary Grichie.

The imperial palace wasn’t far from Vasily Cathedral, and Kaliya Duchy’s strongest imperial guards were garrisoned there. Their number reached 50,000, and their fighting prowess was vastly greater than ordinary soldiers in charge of city defense. A major ordeal occurred, and it was obvious that his Majesty the King was aware of it, yet he still didn’t send reinforcement even after such a long time. The sole explanation for this was that his Majesty decided to abandon Grichie after he understood the current situation, and he abandoned the ancient Banner family.

It was solely powerhouses who were respected and esteemed in the Tailun Continent, and even though it seemed that the numerous Duchies, Banto Empire, Rossi Empire, Delar Empire, and other empires were quite impressive, but as a matter of fact, most resources and power were grasped by the Church, Dark Association, Fire God Sect, and other great factions. Even a powerful empire couldn’t contend against a single God-Level expert, and every powerful empire or duchy was supported by a powerful faction.

Grichie was an official that wielded great power, and he had a better understanding of the current king than the other officials. He understood that after the prudent king learned that the Magical Beast Realm and Dark Association decided to target the Church and take actions together, he surely wouldn’t get involved in the bloody fights between great factions for Grichie.

Moreover, it could be easily foreseen that the king would even hit a person when he was down so that the flames of war wouldn’t affect Kaliya Duchy and the whole Livenza Alliance. He would surely hand over the Banner family, and let the Great Demon King Yang Ling, who was at the peak of his power, deal with them as he saw fit.

God desired the extermination of the Banner family!

As Grichie looked at the number of guards next to him that was only becoming fewer, as well as the corpse of his Son Robert near him, he wished greatly to give himself two slaps. He regretted his past actions greatly.

He had gone crazy due to money, and he tried all possible means to deal with Yang Ling and steal the Magical Beast Realm’s rich resources. He really regretted that his exploitation of his family’s faction and his influence as the Foreign Secretary to make trouble for the Magical Beast that had just risen. But, it was a pity that regrets medicine didn’t exist on the continent, and he knew that it was already too late for regrets.

As the Giant Ape King led a group of Giant Apes, joined the offensive groups, and followed the Dark Dragon King. The Dark Dragon King took the form of giant Dark Dragon and led many Flying Magical Beasts as he launched overwhelming attacks.

Sanjala and Grichie were unable to turn the tide of the battle, and they shortly fell atop a pool of blood one after the other.

“Rodriguez, transmit my order to Ashnamov and ask him to speed up the operation. You shouldn’t spare any members of the Church.” After Yang Ling held control of the battle and disposed of Sanjala and Grichie, he ordered the Corpse Wizard King to lead the Magical Beast Army and hunt down the Church Knights and Spellcasters that slipped by.

He must finish this battle in the shortest time possible, and eradicate that Church’s factions in the south. He wouldn’t just destroy all churches other than the main church, he would also kill all of the Church’s Missionaries, Guardian Knights, and Guardian Spellcasters. He wouldn’t let off even a single person!

“That is right, don’t spare even a single person.” The Corpse Wizard King was quite excited, and after he got the order, he led a group of Magical Beast and left quickly.

The Corpse Wizard King didn’t just use the Mind Magic Domain and Corpse Poison Domain to kill a large number of the Church’s Knights, he had even used Undead Spells to absorb a large amount of Soul Energy that raised his power.

Large-scale battles were a horrible nightmare to ordinary people, but it was a different case for powerful Corpse Wizards. Wars were the quickest way for them to achieve advancement, and the more intense was the war, the better. The death of a large number of soldiers meant that they could absorb a large amount of Blood Essence and Souls.

“Sirs, everything is fine now. Stand up.” Yang Ling looked at the shivering nobles in the church’s hall and revealed a smile. He paused for a moment before he said, “The Church is despicable, hypocritical, and brutal. For the past innumerable years, countless beings were labeled heretics by them and slaughtered, and in my Magical Beast Realm’s Black Water City, a third of the citizens were once burned and killed by a large fire made by them, and innumerable beastmen were killed by them.”

“Today, I have just made a small retaliation, and I will later destroy all churches in the south. I knew that many of you are believers deceived by the Church, and I believe that everyone knew clearly what should be done later.”

Destroying Churches and slaughtering the Church’s missionaries and Guardian Knights could eradicate the Church’s influence over the south, but he must still crackdown on the Church’s believers so that it wouldn’t make a new rise and return.

However, he still mustn’t act anxiously, and he shouldn’t slaughter all believers in the Church without distinguishing between the bad and good ones. Yang Ling’s believed that great power and bloodthirsty slaughters would let the nobles, who didn’t have firm faith, give up on the church, and even if they didn’t oppose the Church with him, they still wouldn’t dare to plot anything in the dark.

After all, the Church was far away from Montson, and the south was the headquarters of the Dark Association, while the Magical Beast Realm was even closer to Montson, and they could come over here with soldiers once again any time.

“Your lordship, thank you,” Jason expressed his thanks. After Maslova helped the hunter Jason drink a cup of water, and applied hemostatic medical powder over his wounds, the hunter, whose whole body was drenched with blood, sobered up and went over to Yang Ling while supported by Maslova. He couldn’t thank Yang Ling enough!

“Not bad! After you reach the Magical Beast Realm, you must look for me,” Yang Ling looked at the brave Jason and the Five-Stars Hunter sign on his shoulder and nodded with appreciation. “Moreover, you don’t have to call me ‘your lordship’ later. You just have to call me Great Elder.”

“Understood! Great Elder, thank you.” As Jason thought about Yang Ling’s other status, he got excited. It was rumored that anyone appreciated by the Hunter Guild’s Great Elder Yang Ling would get his personal teachings, as well as a chance to get the mysterious Magic Hunt Card, and that said person’s power would rise drastically.

After Jason went through such a bitter battle and witnessed high-grade Magical Beast’s terrifying power, he desired to raise his power quickly. It was rumored that even an ordinary hunter could use the Magic Hunt Card to summon a powerful high-grade Magical Beast like an Advanced Summoner.

He didn’t even need a Dark Dragon or a Twin-legged Flying Dragon, and as long as he had a Chimera as a battle pet, he was confident that he could quickly advance into the ranks of Six-Stars Hunters, and he would officially join the ranks of high-level hunters.

Yang Ling ordered the crowd to clear the battlefield and dispatched the Corpse Wizard King to go along with a group of soldiers Magical Beasts to exterminate Grichie’s Banner family before he destroyed Vasily Cathedral with a large fire.

After Yang Ling had done so, he led his army and quickly left. He rushed toward the church in the vicinity with his highest-speed, and he depended upon Teleportation Spell Formations to quickly reach the churches in the vicinity before he slaughtered their members. There wasn’t any church that could obstruct his path thanks to his great power.

He was unstoppable!

After a short while, the fame of the Magical Beast King Yang Ling spread to the whole Tailun Continent, and it spread mostly in the south.

He became well-known, and some people stated that he was a bloodthirsty and ferocious-looking man, while some stated that he was an envoy dispatched by the King of Darkness to launch attacks against the Church, and other stated that he was a Demon from an Alien Plane that would bring endless disasters and slaughters to Tailun Continent.

But, there were also some people that said that he was a real hero that would eradicate the tyrannical church and bring true freedom and happiness to people.

As much bad news spread in succession, the remaining members of the church in the south were like frightened birds that would be startled by the mere twang of a bow. They were all afraid and didn’t know when= a great disaster would befall them.

Even if they saw just low-grade Magical Beasts such as a small Earth Mouse or a Green-skinned Condor, they would turn pale with fright and would take guard against them. But, it was a pity that it didn’t matter how strict was their guard, as they still couldn’t stop Yang Ling’s Magical Beast Army that engulfed the land, and in just three days, eighty churches were destroyed by Yang Ling one after the other.

While none could obstruct Yang Ling’s report, reports of success also spread from the Dark Association’s end. The Darkness Army was led by the Three Major Heads of the Darkness, and they made their way up north and broke through the Church firm city. They destroyed the church’s stronghold before they rushed toward its main camp.

They inflicted heavy damage upon the church’s main force and obstructed them from sending reinforcements to the south. They had pinned down the Church’s experts and lowered greatly the pressure born by Yang Ling.

Moreover, when people witnessed that the Church’s situation was far from good, many hidden or open hostile factions emerged, and started a crazy retaliation, while the Orc Empire started getting restless, and kept a large number of soldiers on the border.

Some Domains or small Duchies that couldn’t stand the Church started a rebellion, and the number of Church members killed by “heretics” wasn’t any lower than the number slaughtered by Yang Ling. As for the Dragon Blood Warrior that had a feud with the Church, they rode the Twin-legged Flying Dragons and Dark Dragons to rush out of Jaboli, and they rush over to meet with Yang Ling. They had also carried out a ruthless slaughter of the Church’s members.

Such a sudden sneak-attack and operation targeting the Church was a great success, but both the Three Major Heads of Darkness and Yang Ling that got a great victory didn’t expect that a great storm started from the distant Stormy Seas. The lofty Pope issued secretly a series of crazy orders to crack down on heretics and continue enjoying most of the continent’s resources.
