The formidable Dragon Legion tasted defeat for the very first time!
Faced with such an inhuman entity, Tun Han hadn't even conceived of resisting!
Even deploying their most elite, Captain-level Dragon Warriors would offer no match against those two terrifying demons!
Thus, as the order was given, he, the commander, along with several other Orc generals, could only flee in disarray. As for how many of his Dragon Legion would survive, he dared not even hope anymore!
The defeated Dragon Legion retreated like a tidal wave, leaving behind nothing but wreckage everywhere! And the dense mist of blood, solidifying in the air, lingered long after!
Whoosh! That demonically rampant purple light finally ceased its relentless pursuit, tracing a graceful arc as it returned to the battlements!
From start to finish, no one could discern their true forms!
Only when the purple streak of light finally halted did those present finally get a clear look at the two figures!
"Ah!" A group of nearby military officers cried out in shock. "It's the Nine Luminaries Divine Truth of the Dragon Empire!"
Though they couldn't identify the other person, the striking black hair and black smoke emanating from one of them sent a tremor through everyone’s hearts!
"It's him!" The older generation of soldiers could scarcely believe their own eyes!
He had worn many names and held many resounding titles; nothing that happened concerning him would ever be considered unbelievable!
No one was unfamiliar with this figure, who seemed almost mythical; on the entire continent, perhaps no existence struck fear into people’s hearts quite like him. His stories were far too numerous!
Many within the Heavenly Rainbow Legion had once served as Ranger Corps troops under the Black Flag Legion over two decades ago, and they recognized that familiar silhouette on the wall instantly!
Biki Continent's eternal Ranger myth, the Blue Lightning, the undefeated God of War on the battlefield, the founder of the Black Flag Legion, the pioneer of the Dragon Hegemony—and now, he stood as the banner figure and spiritual leader for the human faction against the Orc legions!
Such a person was standing alive before them all!
This almost dreamlike, unreal moment sent everyone into paroxysms of joy and exhilaration!
"Marshal! Marshal! Marshal...!" Many of the officers, who had risen from the Ranger Corps ranks, roared their acclamations!
The elders knew his deeds by heart; the younger generation had grown up steeped in his legends! For every Ranger yearning for advancement, he was a living myth!
Although he had ceased to be the Marshal of the Black Flag Army more than a decade prior, in the hearts of every Black Flag soldier, he remained the irreplaceable Marshal! This certainly included the Ranger Corps, which had once belonged to the Black Flag Legion!
This wave of cheering instantly infected every soldier present, spreading out like a surging tide!
Soldiers everywhere were cheering wildly, their arms thrown into the air!
The thunderous applause echoed across the sky, refusing to fade!
But Jian Qi, Ying Zhen Fei Yan, Hu Xiao Shan Lin, and the others were utterly dumbfounded!
Good heavens, merely by appearing, they had instantly uplifted the morale of the entire Heavenly Rainbow Legion!
Yet, this was hardly surprising, considering that today marked the first time the Heavenly Rainbow Legion had held their heads high and severely struck down the arrogance of the Orc army.
Victory in the first engagement!
Although they had long anticipated Yue Ying’s astonishing combat power, her ridiculously overwhelming strength still startled Jian Qi and the others. Tens of thousands of the Dragon army were like paper in her presence, posing absolutely no threat whatsoever!
From start to finish, the others hadn't even seen how they fought!
In a mere quarter of an hour, the massive Dragon Legion was routed beyond recovery!
When the fighting ended, the high-ranking generals of the Heavenly Rainbow Legion rushed forward, unable to contain their anticipation!
The group dared not approach too closely, maintaining a cautious distance of over ten meters as they observed Yue Ying.
Her refined, tall figure stood quietly to the side, emanating an imposing, righteous aura without need for anger. Her exquisitely beautiful face showed not a trace of emotion or fluctuation—as calm and indifferent as a cold pool in autumn water! There wasn't the slightest hint of the vitality expected of a human being.
"Is this the ancient hero renowned through the ages?" Jian Qi and the other generals stared as if entranced.
But the rest of the soldiers were lost; they knew absolutely nothing about this mysterious beauty! Only a select few high-ranking officers knew that the Nine Luminaries Divine Truth had returned to the continent.
However, one thing was certain: the person accompanying the Nine Luminaries Divine Truth beside him was certainly no ordinary person! After all, she was one of the two who had just unleashed the massacre!
"Who is she?"
"I don't know."
"She seems even stronger than the Marshal."
"How is that possible? There’s actually a master more powerful than the Marshal."
The crowd murmured amongst themselves!
Of course, regardless of who she was, this was undoubtedly tremendous news for humanity. The lost Dragon Qin King had returned to the continent, and what’s more, he had brought back a mysterious master who might be even more formidable than himself.
Humanity’s strength against the Orcs would be greatly enhanced, possibly even shifting the long-standing human disadvantage!
What could be more invigorating than this!
"Young Marshal."
However, at that very moment! A bugler hurried onto the battlement: "Urgent communication from the Black Flag Legion."
"The Black Flag Legion," Jian Qi said. "They must be looking for His Highness Qin Wang."
"Yes." The bugler presented the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission device.
As soon as the identity of the Nine Luminaries Divine Truth was confirmed, Jian Qi had already sent word back to Biki Great City via the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission. It seemed that intelligence operatives of the Dragon Empire in Biki Great City had also received the news and were naturally desperate to send a transmission. After all, the Nine Luminaries Divine Truth was the core figure of the Dragon faction and the head of the Black Flag Legion.
Jian Qi was not surprised by this development!
"A message from the Black Flag Army?" Although they were some distance away, Jian Qi and the others' words still reached my ears.
Seeing me approach, Jian Qi quickly handed the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission device over to me!
"Is that you, My Lord?" Yin Shuang’s anxious voice came through the device.
"It is me." Yin Shuang’s anxiety unsettled me. "What's wrong?"
"Return quickly! Xing Ye and the others are in deep trouble." Yin Shuang urged.
"It’s the Dark Dragon Cult Master."
"Exactly," Yin Shuang confirmed. "This Dark Dragon Cult Master is immensely powerful; Xing Ye and the others are about to break."
"Damn it!" I grew anxious. "Transmit me over immediately."
The Memory Set operated based on the spatial magic coordinates transmitted by the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission device. Since my Spatial Pouch was lost in the Heroic Land, my Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission device was also lost, which is why I couldn't use spatial teleportation to leave the Heroic Land back then.
Of course, even if the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission device hadn't been lost at that time, I couldn't be certain whether it could have connected with the outside world.
But none of that mattered now. Having finally established contact with the Black Flag Army, I naturally needed to return as quickly as possible.
"Yes," Yin Shuang replied. "I will notify the Spatial Department immediately."
