--------------------------

The relieved smile on Ronnie's face disappeared and was replaced with an ice-cold look. Ronnie's green eyes became sharp. His eyes held a lot of hatred and anger toward these mutant fire ants. These ants had caused Ronnie a lot of things. So many of his soldiers died and also will die from fighting these mutant fire ants. These ants were responsible for the death of 1.5 million people and the fall of Blackwood city.

Because of these ants, the Ethereal Empire lost 94 capable elite soldiers. There were very high chances that a few of these elite soldiers could have even become 5th-order pillars of the Ethereal Empire. Not just that lives of the Crown Prince and the princess also has been put in danger. Today Ronnie was here to blood. He was here to end the mutant fire ants.

[Fear not my soldiers. For the sake of our loved ones and our homeland, we must kill all the mutant fire ants here today so that another incident like the blackwood city wouldn't take place. Give everything you all got.]

[Charge!!!!!!]

The Emperor's speech boosted the morale of the soldiers. More than 2 million soldiers started running toward the mutant fire ants. Ronnie had spread his 2 million armies to attack from 3 directions. The main army which was made up of 1 million soldiers would attack from the south, while five hundred soldiers would attack from the north and south respectively.

"Elder Ronan, I am afraid I will have to ask you to take care of the beginner 5th-order mutant fire ants."

"Leave it me." Ronan disappeared from Ronnie's side.

Ronnie then turned his attention to the hundred thousand mutant fire ants that were charging in their direction. "Coby, you and other 4th-order, try to take out the 4th-order mutant fire ants. Others will deal with the rest."

With the death of 94 elite soldiers, the Ethereal Empire had lost a big part of its military. Now other than Coby, only 31 elite soldiers were left. Of these 31 elite soldiers, the majority of them were beginner 4th-order cultivators.

Of course, the emperor wasn't just planning on standing there. He was also going to participate in this war. Right now, the number of mutant fire ants that they were facing had already exceeded 10 million. Ronnie could only hope that elder Ronan would quickly finish killing all the beginner 5th-order mutant fire ants then and help them in killing the mutant fire ants.

Standing in the sky, as the sun shined behind Ronnie, he outstretched his right hand while gathering mana in his right palm.

Defiant Chaos Bullets!

For a second the mana around Ronnie became chaotic. The mana around Ronnie began to compress the air. In less than a second more than two thousand air bullets that had been compressed formed around Ronnie.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Over two thousand air bullets were fired by Noah aiming to kill all the 4th-order mutant fire ants that were at the front line.

Just as the Ethereal soldiers and the mutant fire ants were about to start fighting, at the same time all the Defiant Chaos Bullets began hitting over two thousand mutant fire ants at the same. Not even a single Defiant Chaos Bullets missed its target. Ronnie's attack was precise and very accurate. Each of the mana bullets managed to hit the skulls of the 4th-order mutant fire ants. The compressed air bullets did their work.

Just as the bullets easily penetrated the hard and unbreakable scales of the mutant fire ants. The bullets went on to make 2 inches big holes in the mutant fire ants' heads.

At the same time, Coby and other elite soldiers had taken the lead. Coby's heart burned in fury and rage. He was the strongest elite soldier in the Ethereal Empire, yet he was forced to stay outside the Heavenly Hemlock forest. If he had gone with others, then he could have prevented the deaths of other elite soldiers.

Diamond Chain!

By investing [100+] mana, Coby summoned Diamond Chains which were a unique type of chain that can even withstand beginner 5th-order cultivators' attacks. The diamond chains began to reflect the sunlight while being wrapped around Coby's both arms. The reflected light was so intense that a few of the mutant fire ants and some of the soldiers were forced o cover their eyes or close their eyes.

The diamond chains in Coby's hands began to move as if they were snakes. The chains coiled themselves around Coby's both arms, covering both of his hands in diamond Chains. Even his knuckles were covered with Diamond chains.

The next second, the ground beneath Coby cracked like a spider web then a small crater formed as he used his full strength to make a big jump in the air. With the power of the Peak 4th-order cultivator, Coby jumped more than 50 meters in the air. Arriving in front of a group of Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants that were flying in the air.

Peak mutant fire ant that was right in front of Coby let out a shrieking cry before opening its mouth, showing its ugly and frightening white teethes, at the entrance of the ant's mouth, mana began to condense at the shape of a black energy orb.

But before the ant can finish preparing the attack, the ant was met with Coby's fists. Coby whose heart was already burning in anger and rage angrily grabbed the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant in front of him and furiously punched the mutant fire ant's face.

Bang!

"What is this?"

"Is this blood?"

A few soldiers beneath Coby looked up when a few strange organs that were covered in blood fell on their heads, making them feel disgusted. When the soldiers looked up, they found Coby with a Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant. There was a big hole in the mutant fire ant's head. Coby used his other arm to take out his right arm that was inside the disgusting ant's head.

The diamond chains in Coby's right arm were covered in mutant fire ant's blood. Everything happened instantly and the soldiers had no time to react. At the same time, the other Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants fired some kind of strange dark blue blast from their mouths.

Coby coldly smiled. He grabbed the dead body of the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant that he just killed. He used the dead body of the mutant ant to protect himself from blasts.

Booooom!!!!!

The body of the peak 4th-order mutant ant had been shredded to ten thousand small pieces that were currently raining from the sky. At the same time, black smoke covered the sky making it impossible for the soldiers to know what was happening in the sky.

Not even a whole second had passed, when a diamond snake that was actually Coby's diamond chains shot out from the black smoke. The chains moved very quickly making it very difficult for the mutant ants to dodge the chains in time.

The diamond chains moved like snakes. In less than 3 seconds, the remaining mutant fire ants found their movements restricted by the diamond chains. The ants struggled with their might to break free from these chains. No matter how much they tried, whether it was a physical or magical attack nothing seem to work.

The gravity began to pull Coby down. As soon as he landed on the ground, he grabbed the diamond chains and used his full strength to pull the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants down as well. Like stones falling from the sky, the mutant fire ants also fell to the ground while cracking the ground beneath them at the same time.

The soldiers nearby Coby began to attack the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants as soon as they landed on the ground. The poor ants could do nothing but suffer in the hands of weak 3rd-order or 2nd-order soldiers. Eventually, all the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants died.

Meanwhile, Coby did not stop there. He condensed mana in the form of a blue light orb between his palms. He then widened the gap between his palms, extending the blue light orb, and turning it into a 3 meters long light spear.

Coby then threw the light spear at another Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant that was currently fighting against another elite soldier.

"Are you alright?" Before anyone else, Alicia walked up to Aditya and asked him while looking at his wings. Just looking at his wings and his exhausted and slightly pale-looking face, the goddess of wealth felt her heart ache in pain.

"As you can see, I am still alive." Aditya replied with a smile.

"I never thought you would be this powerful." Sylvie's eyes were full of various emotions. She was feeling a little jealous of the fact that her sister managed to get such a charming and powerful man as her partner.

"Hahaha! To be honest, even I wasn't sure if I will be able to beat that old man. I guess got lucky this time." Everyone rolled their eyes hearing Aditya's words.

"We should head back. By now the fight must have started already." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. However, Aditya had some other plans.

"You guys go, I will take a different direction." Aditya was about to leave when Alicia suddenly grabbed his hand.

"You're coming with us." For some reason, the goddess sounded like she won't leave unless Aditya comes with her. Her emerald eyes are full of worry. She was looking very concerned about Aditya's current state.

"I will have to go. With my powers, I can offer help to the Ethereal Empire's army. This can prevent many unnecessary deaths. You don't have to be concerned about my health. Although I can no longer use my wings, not until they heal themselves, my power can make a big difference in this fight." Besides why would Aditya reject free experience points. These mutant fire ants cannot touch him. Maybe the mutant fire ant queen can but other than the queen no one else can harm him.

Alicia still looked hesitant. But after a few seconds of hesitating, she finally released his hand while biting her lips showing that she was not happy with his decision to fight. But Aditya's words had managed to convince her.

"No that I have taken care of the Peak 5th-order and all the mutant fire ants have been called to join the war, you all should be able to exit this forest without any trouble. After the war ends, I will return to the capital with uncle." As Aditya said these words Crimson lightning began to cover his entire body, making cracking sounds.

"Handsome dragon, you better stay alive. This big bigger still hasn't thanked you for saving her life." Nora said these words in a flirtatious tone.

Alicia shot a glare at Aditya making the Dragon king sweat nervously. Aditya felt he needed to leave. After nodding his head to Sylvie and Noah, Aditya disappeared.

Seeing Alicia still coldly looking at her, Nora chuckled while covering her mouth. "Ara! It seems the saying Love can lower IQ is true. You don't have to be so jealous princess. I am just talking about thanking Aditya. But maybe who would I might even personally thank him for using my skills."

"If you even dare to approach him....I will personally kill you." Seeing his serious and calculative sister also known as the goddess being angered like this, Noah shook his head with a helpless smile. It seems his sister was really in love.

"Haha! I heard dragons are very energetic in bed." Seeing Nora further provoking Alicia, Sylvie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ever since Aditya appeared, she has been seeing different sides of her best friend.

"Let's go. We shouldn't waste our time here."

Meanwhile, Aditya was moving in pain. Also, the wind was hitting his wings making Aditya's speed much slower. "If only I had 4-star or 5-star healing pills." Aditya never asked Julia to make 4-star or 5-star healing pills as he never needed them. Before Ashley, Aditya always managed to defeat his enemy without seriously getting injured.

Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield was chaotic and very destructive. It was mainly the 3rd-order, 4th-order, and 5th-order, cultivators and mutant fire ants that dominated the entire battlefield. While the second-order and the 1st-order were like cannon fodders. Just the shockwave of a 3rd-order cultivator's attack is enough to kill 2nd-order or 1st-order cultivators.

With each passing second, even with 2,000,000 big troops, the Ethereal Empire's side began to find themselves pressured. It had to be noted that the mutant fire ant's number was over 10,000,000. Besides, the ants were able to fly and attack from the sky. This only made things more difficult and the situation more serious and threatening for the Ethereal Empire's soldiers.
