Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Bacchus

The natives in the port immediately scattered.

The one thousand Flame Dragon Island native Warriors garrisoning the port charged out to fight.

The Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves ridden by Shu Feng’s Warriors opened their maws, unleashing a dense barrage of Ice Cones that flew toward the Flame Dragon Island native Warriors like a meteor shower.

Blood splattered everywhere as the Flame Dragon Island native Warriors dropped into the sea like flies.

Before long, the one thousand Flame Dragon Island native Warriors garrisoning the port had been slaughtered to the last man.

’So powerful! This is Master Paul’s Power! He’s truly unfathomable! But with such terrifying Power, why is he helping that failure, Mina, instead of becoming King himself?’

Ignis stared at the huge, magnificent Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves, his mind reeling in shock.

The only reason Shu Feng’s Warriors could so easily annihilate the one thousand native Warriors was because of those two thousand Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves.

In the Molun Islands, the value of those two thousand Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves was simply incalculable, even surpassing that of a Great Mage.

Shu Feng’s Warriors successfully landed at the port and stormed the city, capturing over twenty thousand natives in a single sweep.

After this battle, Shu Feng’s prestige within the force skyrocketed.

After all, it was Shu Feng who had provided these native Warriors with their Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves.

After the capture of the Flame Dragon Island port, many of the slave Warriors who had been purchased on Seal Island saw a glimmer of hope and chose to join Shu Feng’s ranks.

「Nightfall.」

In a stretch of jungle outside the port town.

"Have you figured it out? Which damn Slave Capture Corps is attacking us?"

A tall man with wheat-colored skin and numerous braids spoke slowly. His face, covered in strange painted patterns, was marred by several long claw marks.

"Lord Bacchus! The enemy’s defenses are tight; we haven’t been able to gather any intelligence. They have powerful Mages with them! We should wait a few more days and act once we have enough information!"

Johnny, a Mad Flame Dragon Priest in a Priest Robe, said with a slight frown.

The tall man with claw marks on his face was none other than Bacchus, one of the three Legendary Warriors of Flame Dragon Island.

Bacchus shook his head. "We can’t wait! Once they establish a foothold, they’ll just keep sending in more powerful forces. By then, driving them back into the sea will cost us far more!"

The difference in combat strength between a Mage with resources and preparation and one without was simply insane.

A Mage with enough preparation could even ambush a Great Mage.

If Shu Feng built a powerful Mage Tower in that port town, garrisoned it with a Great Mage, and supported them with a few other Mages, then even if all three of Flame Dragon Island’s Legendary Warriors attacked together, they would only be walking to their deaths.

Johnny nodded slightly. "You have a point!"

"Attack!!"

At Bacchus’s command, ten thousand highly trained native Warriors moved like Ghosts, using the cover of night to stealthily approach the port town.

The native Warriors of the Molun Islands generally couldn’t defeat the elite Warriors of the Engman Empire in a direct confrontation. However, they were masters of jungle and night warfare, far surpassing the Empire’s elites in those environments.

The native Warriors were indeed exceptional, but the Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves were a hundred times more so. Just as the natives approached within five hundred meters of the port town, angry roars from the Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves erupted all around it.

"Charge!!"

Seeing their stealthy approach had been discovered, Bacchus let out a furious roar. Wielding a greatsword, he moved like a bolt of lightning, appeared before a Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolf, and decapitated it with a single slash.

The elite native Warriors all revealed themselves as well, loosing arrows at the Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves.

A dense volley of arrows rained down on the Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves. Several were struck directly in the eye, collapsing to the ground as lifeless corpses.

Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves poured out from the port town. A barrage of Ice Cones, like bullets, slammed into the elite native Warriors, killing them on the spot.

Meanwhile, inside the port town, the native Warriors on Shu Feng’s side were in a state of some disarray; after all, they weren’t highly trained Professional Warriors.

"A Legendary Warrior? Not bad. Too bad your opponent is me!"

An indifferent voice drifted out from the port town.

A sudden chill crept into Bacchus’s heart.

Just then, a dozen shadow tentacles emerged from Bacchus’s own shadow, piercing his body like spectral appendages.

Bacchus, who had already slain a dozen Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves and seemed like an invincible god of war, collapsed to the ground with a THUD. The shadows began to drag him toward the town.

"Bloody Purification Technique!!"

Johnny’s expression changed drastically. He lopped off the head of a powerful slave warrior beside him with his blade, chanted an incantation, and pointed at Bacchus.

A crimson light surged from the slave warrior’s corpse, transforming into a speck of bloody light that fell upon Bacchus.

The shadow tentacles binding Bacchus instantly disintegrated.

Just then, a Shadow Spear erupted from the shadow behind Johnny, abruptly piercing his heart.

"A Legendary... Mage!!!"

A flicker of Despair flashed in Johnny’s eyes as his body trembled slightly before he collapsed to the ground.

Only a Legendary Mage could have located and killed Johnny so effortlessly with a single strike.

The moment the shadow tentacles disintegrated, Bacchus leaped back, retreating rapidly. He could already sense a presence in the port town—a Legendary Mage he could not hope to match.

But just as Bacchus moved, a hazy gray light enveloped him. He was overcome by a wave of dizziness and collapsed.

Shadow tentacles emerged from the darkness once more, wrapping around Bacchus and dragging him toward the port town.

Without Priest Johnny to interfere, Bacchus vanished into the port town within moments.

"Retreat!!"

The fall of Bacchus and the death of Priest Johnny shattered the morale of the elite Flame Dragon Island Warriors, and they fled back toward the jungle.

One thousand Tier Four Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves gave chase, viciously slaughtering several thousand of the elite Flame Dragon Island natives before turning back to the port town.

「In a room in the port town.」

Shu Feng gazed at the powerfully built Legendary Warrior, Bacchus. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Legendary Warrior! Are you willing to submit and serve me?"
