Chapter 3 The Third Entrance Battlefield
The battlefield at the third entrance was littered with the corpses of dwarf warriors. Some had been reduced to ashes by demonic flames, while others lay in pools of blood. The battle had lasted no more than ten minutes before this elite dwarf battle group was utterly routed. After the defeat of their two eighth-tier grand commanders and five seventh-tier deputy commanders, the remaining five hundred-plus dwarf warriors completely collapsed. The sixty to seventy surviving dwarf warriors began to flee in all directions. Some dived back into the entrance, escaping into the underground world, while others ran deeper into the mountains. However, very few dwarf warriors managed to escape. Most were caught up by the immortal and demonic troops and killed one by one. In total, less than ten dwarf warriors successfully fled. The entire battle was a one-sided slaughter. This was an expected victory. The dwarf battle group of over five hundred was annihilated, while the immortal and demonic battle team suffered almost no losses. The immortal and demonic battle team was already quite powerful, and with the aerial support and buffs from Xian Qing'er, their strength was further amplified. Most importantly, all members of the immortal and demonic battle team could use powerful combat skills. In contrast, although the dwarf warriors were strong, they lacked combat skills and relied solely on brute force. Even the two eighth-tier dwarf grand commanders hardly used any skills. With their immense strength and sharp weapons, they could still fight in close combat. However, against the immortal and demonic soldiers who could launch ranged attacks with sword energy and other skills, it was like fighting against sandbags. Take the battle between Ti Sha and Xian Er, for example. In just over a dozen exchanges, Xian Er decapitated Ti Sha with a sword strike from a distance. Ti Sha never even managed to touch Xian Er's clothes. As for Xian Qing'er and Xian Meng'er, they naturally remained hidden in the void, constantly vigilant against any surprise attacks from the dwarf chieftain Feng Mos. However, Feng Mos never appeared, even until the end of the battle. After the battle, the immortal and demonic battle team's strength increased. Xian Qing'er and Xian Meng'er, who did not participate in the battle, did not experience any increase in strength. However, the other immortal and demonic soldiers saw significant improvements. Especially those who were mid-sixth tier, they directly advanced to low seventh tier. The four who were reborn yesterday also reached the peak of sixth tier. In short, the overall strength of the immortal and demonic battle team had once again surged! This substantial increase was mainly due to the large number of high-quality dwarf warriors killed. This included not only dozens of elite dwarf warriors but also two eighth-tier dwarf grand commanders. These "experience points," even if distributed evenly among each immortal and demonic soldier, were still terrifying. It was perfectly normal for their strength to increase and their tiers to advance. "Clean up the battlefield!" "Organize and inventory all the equipment, immortal demonic stones, and other resources dropped by the dwarf battle group, then send a few people back to the territory for the master's disposal!" After the strength improvement was complete, Xian Qing'er gave the order, and the immortal and demonic battle team began to busy themselves. The battlefield was soon cleared. They collected over three hundred sets of complete equipment and more than forty immortal demonic stones. As for soul crystals, none were found. This was because dwarf warriors were always classified as humanoids, not primordial beasts or demonic beasts. Soul crystals could only be dropped by elite or higher-level abyss demonic beasts or primordial beasts. Alternatively, if they were lucky, any spiritual equipment found in the dwarf tribe that had soul crystals embedded in it would count as a soul crystal drop. In a short while, the battlefield was thoroughly cleared. Four immortal and demonic soldiers responsible for transporting the spoils of war were already speeding back to the immortal and demonic territory with the loot. The other members of the immortal and demonic battle team assembled near the third entrance, awaiting Xian Qing'er's orders. "Our mission is to annihilate the dwarf tribe! The ninth-tier peak dwarf chieftain will be handled by myself and the副队长 (deputy captain), Xian Meng'er. The remaining dwarf warriors will be your responsibility!" "Understood, Captain!!" The immortal and demonic soldiers respectfully accepted the order, full of confidence. With the strength of these twenty soldiers, dealing with dwarf warriors below eighth-tier peak would not be a major challenge. If they could finish quickly, they might even be able to join Xian Qing'er and Xian Meng'er in surrounding and killing the dwarf chieftain. "Depart!" With Xian Qing'er's command, the entire immortal and demonic battle team swarmed through the enlarged opening. The dim light had no effect on the immortal and demonic battle team, and they headed straight for the location of the dwarf tribe. ... At this moment. The dwarf chieftain Feng Mos had already received news of the defeat of Grand Commander Ti Sha and the elite battle group of five hundred. Naturally, he knew that almost everyone he had sent out had been wiped out. In the great hall, a few dwarf warriors who had barely escaped wailed incessantly. Feng Mos remained silent, but his face was as dark as water. He was desperately suppressing his inner rage and also regretting his underestimation. The dwarf tribe had been defeated twice in two battles. The first time, the enemy had only shown seventh-tier strength, which led him to underestimate them. The second battle had been a major setback, with no survivors among the strong individuals sent out. If he still couldn't figure out what was going on, he would have no face to remain in his position. Those detestable extraterrestrial creatures had caused him such heavy losses! If this enmity wasn't avenged, how could he face the great ancestors of the dwarf race! "Report!!!" "Reporting to Your Majesty. Those creatures from another world have entered the third entrance and are now heading towards the palace!" It was the same sharp voice that reached Feng Mos's ears, and he could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. Immediately, he raised his hand and slapped out. "Those who falsely report military intelligence deserve to die!" The poor dwarf scout, even in death, did not understand why His Majesty was killing him. He had clearly not reported false intelligence! Those extraterrestrial creatures were indeed killing their way in! Little did he know, Feng Mos's resentment was directed at his previous report. If he hadn't reported that the strongest enemy was only mid-seventh tier, why would he have been so careless and caused such heavy losses to the dwarf tribe? After slapping the scout to death, Feng Mos suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted: "Convey my order! The dwarf tribe is to enter a state of alert!" "All dwarf warriors are to mobilize and prepare to meet the enemy!" ... Regardless of what was happening in the dwarf tribe. Ten kilometers was a mere moment for the swiftly flying immortal and demonic soldiers. Even carrying a large amount of spoils, it only took them one minute to return to the city. Xiao Mo's face lit up as he looked at the pile of spoils in front of him. Over three hundred sets of equipment, most of which were low-level, but a small portion had reached mid-level. These mid-level equipment were naturally dropped by the elite sub-commanders and those so-called commanders and deputy commanders. Mid-level equipment was more than seven times more cost-effective than low-level equipment. Although there weren't many, their total value was comparable to all the low-level equipment. Furthermore, after eliminating only about five hundred dwarves, they had dropped more than forty immortal demonic stones. If they were to take down the dwarf tribe's stronghold, what good things would drop?
