The Emperor’s Angel of Death

“Then I'll have to trouble you, General.”

The moment the conversation disappeared, a whistle sounded, and Uruk, bleeding from his nose and mouth, had his arms torn off directly, with two huge streams of blood spurting out, causing him a terrible, suffocating pain.

As the world spun around him, he let out a miserable cry, the swamp hunter falling from the leaves and thorny branches, smashing through branches and hitting rotten corpses as he fell.

As he hit the lowest branch, his body was torn apart with a loud bang, and he could almost make out a huge, spiky protrusion piercing into his chest, like a raised red claw reaching for the sky.

“Ugh—”

Coughing blood in his throat, Uruk's scattered vision wandered, and then, in this bloody scene, a twisted, wrinkled face appeared.

It had no eyes or other facial features, only rows of holes on its face, and its open mouth was filled with sharp, thin teeth.

Then, it slowly reached out, its sharp claws pierced into the green-skinned boss's head, and then twisted it hard amidst the other's screams.

The sound disappeared, and the Night Mist Monster flapped its wings and flew to the highest point of the canopy. Two slender figures stood on the highest branch above the canopy, showing amazing balance. One wore ornate dragon scale armor, a dragon helmet, and held a spear, while the other wore a green leaf robe, with many potion bottles and bone whistles on his body, a wooden mask on his face, and a long staff with a curved top wrapped in green crystals.

The Night Mist Monster steadily landed in front of the two, then bent down, lowered its head, and respectfully raised the green-skinned head, as if asking for credit.

Ivan reached out and grabbed the green-skinned boss's hair, looked at the distorted expression at the last moment on that face, and let out a chuckle.

“The greenskins should be short on food for a short time. It will take them some time to find another logistics chief.”

After saying that, he threw the head in his hand backward. Suddenly, an Urgull darted out, grabbed the head, and disappeared below the canopy, followed by the sound of gnawing.

The druid beside Ivan turned slightly and looked north. At the end of the horizon, faint red light could be seen, as well as the faint, continuous roar that Ada's extraordinary hearing could pick up.

“How long can these humans last?”

“Before you came, they had lasted, according to their time, for 9 months, almost 10 months.”

“It seems that they are almost unable to hold on.”

As they were talking, an ear-piercing roar suddenly came from above their heads. The druid raised his head and saw more than thirty crude greenskin fighters dragging scarlet trails across the sky, heading straight north.

There was no doubt that they were going to carry out a bombing mission, and this was already the third batch of greenskin fighters in the half hour they had been standing here, which showed the intensity of the greenskin offensive.

Ivan sighed softly when he saw this.

“I am also worried about this. The scale of the greenskins is too large. Although we have done our best to weaken their offensive capabilities, destroy armories, attack their weapons workshops, assassinate their leaders, and ambush their transport convoys... we still cannot stop their offensive pace, so we requested assistance from the royal court. In fact, 8 months ago, Yves believed that the humans would not be able to hold on unless we intervened publicly.”

“Oh? So, the humans seem to be stronger than you expected?”

Ivan, under his helmet, pursed his lips slightly, then turned around and looked at the burning horizon in the distance.

“They are crude, primitive, blind, fanatical, but undoubtedly brave, tenacious, and indomitable... Master Quipa, if you witnessed it with your own eyes, you would be shocked. I once saw such a scene with the help of floating sentinels. A gate of that city was breached, and the surrounding human guards had been defeated. In the end, a group of women, yes, you heard me right, a unit composed entirely of women, they were not really a unit at all, their hands and feet were so slender and fragile, they had never been soldiers, but they launched a counter-charge against the beasts that broke through the gate, using very simple weapons, even crude spears, to fight against the beasts armed to the teeth.”

Ivan shook his head, took off his helmet, his expression full of sorrow and pity.

“.Whatever they are, that cruel scene made me feel sad and painful. Courage and greatness are not divided by race. I really wanted to take action, but the order could not be violated.”

The druid beside him was silent for a moment, then said slowly:

“No wonder many people praise you for having a heart of gold. Perhaps only a virgin world shrouded in the warm light of the Mother Goddess can breed a flawless soul like yours... I have already seen too many cruel scenes of violence and killing.”

Ivan knew that Quipa used to be the Beastmaster of Ghomor, so he silently put on his helmet.

“Speaking of which, General Ivan, have you had contact with the human commanders here?”

Ivan shook his head, and the other turned to ask:

“Then do they know of your existence?”

“They should know, because we saved a squad of scouts. If nothing unexpected happens, they will most likely have returned to the city.”

“They didn't think of asking for help?”

Ivan smiled, then said helplessly:

“That's impossible. If we show ourselves, their weapons might attack us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something falling, so he reached out his hand.

In an instant, a piece of snow-white thin crystal appeared in his palm, but it melted in an instant.

Ivan raised his head, staring at the light gray sky, and muttered to himself:

“.It's snowing, is winter coming? Then their days will probably be even harder.”

Then he withdrew his gaze and said to the druid beside him:

“Let's go back first, it's useless to continue here. Let the Night Mist Monster hunt here for a while.”

As he spoke, he sent a summon to his mount. The huge Venom Wyvern roared and rose from the swamp, and the druid also summoned his flying board. The two quickly returned to a mountain cave 300 kilometers away from Raine New City.

If you look from the outside, the cave doesn't look special at all, but once you go inside, it's a huge semi-circular cave lit up with lights. There are many forks in the cave. After Ivan landed, his mount crawled into its own passage. Mounts and war beasts can be seen everywhere here. Dragon Rider soldiers in armor are chatting or reporting on missions. In addition, there are hundreds of Spirit Bone Ants (you can look back at chapter 3210 if you forgot). They are still continuously expanding and decorating the interior of the cave. It is thanks to their efficiency that such a huge temporary base can be carved out in 10 days without alarming the surrounding greenskin tribes. Even many facilities are made on the spot by them.
