Chapter 1453: Chapter 616: Tamu Khan’s Ambition

After crossing the first battle of the Sorrowful Mountain Range, Tamu Khan faced a Beastman Army. He lived up to expectations and easily won the victory. The Beast King of that Beastman group was easily grabbed by Tamu Khan’s Toad Dragon, lifted into the air, and thrown down. The tens of thousands strong Beastman Army disintegrated and was smoothly absorbed by Tamu Khan.

However, the good fortune ended there.

Tamu Khan’s army soon faced a major obstacle on the road south.

The giant fortress built by the Zhendan Empire on the Silk Road—the Western Regions Protectorate.

The Daoeghan army led by Unbeliever Sayi suffered a devastating defeat in the war attacking the Western Regions Protectorate, losing more than thirty thousand troops. The fortress was heavily fortified with elite soldiers and wizards from the Zhendan Empire. Strong walls and powerful cannons made another assault almost impossible, unless Tamu Khan sought a Pyrrhic victory with an incredibly painful cost.

Sayi’s disastrous defeat proved the Silk Road was impassable. The army had no choice but to abandon the original plan, detouring into the Ogre Kingdom, attempting to traverse the Ogre Kingdom, enter the Dark Realm, and then try crossing the World’s Roof Mountain Range.

And once they entered the Ogre Kingdom, the army faced a real test.

An Ogre tribe named "Red Fist" blocked the army’s inevitable path. Faced with no choice, Tamu Khan led his army in a direct confrontation with the Ogre Tribe.

The strength of the Ogres needed no elaboration. Tamu Khan’s army struggled immensely against the Ogres and Giants from the tribe. In the end, driven by necessity, Tamu Khan personally charged on his Toad Dragon, engaging in a sacred champion duel with the Ogre leader, Mountain Breaker.

At this moment, Tamu Khan’s body was still that of Sargass, the Slaanesh Champion. He exhibited astonishing agility and used his rapier to blind one of Mountain Breaker’s eyes. But Mountain Breaker seized the opportunity, grabbing Tamu Khan’s body and tearing it into several pieces.

It seemed the Ogres had won.

Mountain Breaker triumphantly raised both hands, proclaiming his victory.

Unfortunately, the intelligence of the Ogres was exceedingly low. They completely failed to understand that hesitation would lead to defeat.

At the moment Mountain Breaker relaxed his guard, Tamu Khan once again employed his ultimate skill. A white maggot sprayed from the torn corpse of Sargass, the Slaanesh Champion, and directly burrowed into Mountain Breaker’s mouth, and burrowed along the esophagus into Mountain Breaker’s chest cavity, reversing the consumption on the Ogre!

The new Tamu Khan was reborn within this Ogre Tyrant’s body.

Thus, Tamu Khan transformed from a slender Slaanesh Champion wielding a rapier into a massive Ogre over three meters tall, wielding a huge club. Under his victorious roar, the entire Red Fist tribe of Ogres and Giants finally chose to surrender, with more Giant Beasts and Beastmen joining Tamu Khan’s army.

The entire winter witnessed how the Chaos Claws continued to advance across the Graywater River, from the desolate northern mountain paths all the way to the uninhabited Ghost Shadow Forest in the south, filled everywhere with the impure legions. Regardless of whether it was the numerous Giant Demons, the black poisonous scorpions as large as watchtowers, or the cruel and warlike Ogres, when facing Chaos’s troops there were only three choices: die, surrender, or flee.

Now, the King of Maggot’s army was blocked by a murky Blackwater River.

Tamu Khan suddenly realized that the Blackwater River before him was the boundary line separating the Dark Realm and the Ogre Kingdom!

The Chaos Dwarf’s castle was just across the river!
