Chapter 613 Don’t Even Think That Your Little Bird Is Enough To Beat Me

While the Dryad Queen and the Great General were facing off against each other, the Undead were wreaking havoc on the enemy army.

Diablo, who grew stronger the more dead people there were in the battlefield, was a force of nature that couldn't be stopped.

Since the Rankers were having trouble locating their enemies because of the blizzard that appeared out of nowhere, they were only able to fight against the Skeleton Gangbangers, and the zombies that had been revived by the Liches.

The Death Knight, who could sense the presence of these strong fighters purposely evaded them as he performed a one-sided massacre, killing dozens of people with a single strike.

Ishtar, on the other hand, was also a killing machine because of her special skill, Coup De Grace.

Anyone who had a status condition, would receive massive damage from her attacks. When the blizzard appeared, all of the Human Soldiers received the Freezing Debuffs, which slowed their movement and attack speed.

The Arondight Territories had never experienced snow, because they were in a tropical area.

Because of this, very few soldiers had the ability to resist the sudden cold, making them unable to do anything in the blizzard.

Although the Nightstalker couldn't kill as fast as Diablo, she played her role really well by singling out all the Initiate Ranked soldiers, killing them with her lethal strikes.

This allowed the Undead Army, who were Rank 3 and Rank 4 Monsters to overpower their enemies.

Gerhart and Cethus had also joined the battle because they had long been itching for a fight.

Only Randolph, Grandma Annie, Laura and Livia had remained in the Orc City because they weren't really fighters, but crafters.

Lux had summoned Sid to protect all of them, which made the twin girls very happy.

"If this goes on, we will all perish!" one of the Captains of the Haca Dynasty shouted. "Everyone retreat!"

No matter how many Undead they killed, they kept on reviving, which made the Humans feel as if they no longer had a chance of victory.

"Retreat to where?! I can't see anything around me!"

"Dammit! What should we do now?!"

"Just keep fighting! Since we can't go anywhere, hold your ground and fight!"

After losing their Great General, no one was able to take command of the army. No matter how hard the Captains of other battalions tried to organize a proper defense, the cold, and their fear of death made the soldiers unable to think properly.

As a leader herself, the Dryad Queen understood how important Great General Garret's role was. Because of this, she had decided to prevent him from taking back the command of his army, allowing Lux's Undead Legion to kill to their heart's content.

Suddenly, the cage of vines that the Dryad Queen had trapped the Great General in burst apart.

Red flames rose up to the sky as a Red Phoenix opened up its majestic wings to utter a loud screech that spread throughout the battlefield.

"No matter how strong you are, your vines are weak against Fire," Great General Garret said as he stood behind the giant Celestial Bird of Legends. "The next time we meet, I'll make sure to burn you to ashes. Let's go!"

The Great General commanded the Phoenix to fly towards the blizzard in order to help his subordinates. However before the Phoenix could even follow his command, several vines rose up in the air and wrapped themselves around the Phoenix's body.

"While it's true that Fire is our weakness, do you really think that Phoenix Flames are enough to stop me?" the Dryad Queen sneered. "I've lived long enough to know how to fight against Fire Type Monsters. Don't even think that your little bird is enough to beat me."

As if proving her point, the Phoenix was unable to break free from the green vines that had taken on a darker color. These dark-green vines were very resistant to flames because of the Legendary Treasure that the Dryad Queen had in her possession.

She didn't use this earlier because she didn't want the enemy to know one of her trump cards. However, since her goal was to prevent the Great General from returning to his subordinates, she had no choice but to reveal her hand.

The Dryad Queen made a slicing motion and a giant vine appeared behind her. This vine then lashed out at the Phoenix like a whip, forcing Great General Garret to dismount from its back.

With a screech filled with pain, the Phoenix crashed to the ground, creating a blazing crater. As if venting her frustration, Cornelia created a dozen more vines and started to whip the fallen Creature non-stop, with the intention of killing it.

Soon, the Celestial Bird burst out into flames and shrank down until it became a red feather that shone like rubies.

This red feather was one of the Legendary National Treasures of the Haca Dynasty, which was personally given to Great General Garret to ensure the success of their campaign.

The Golden Shield that ALL-MITE had snatched from Ronan was another National Treasure that was loaned to the High-Ranker by the Dynasty, so that he would be able to contain Barca in battle.

At first, Great General Garret wanted to retrieve the Phoenix Feather, but after seeing a vision of the future, he could only grit his teeth and retreat towards his army as fast as he could.

Cornelia frowned, but after pondering for a while, she decided to not follow the Great General.

'Gerhart and Cethus, retreat now!' Lux ordered after seeing the outcome of the battle between the Dryad Queen and Great General Garret. 'The Great General is on his way towards you guys. If you don't want to go to the afterlife, leave now!'

After hearing that the Big Boss was on his way to take control of the situation, Gerhart and Cethus no longer hesitated and retreated as soon as they could.

Unlike the Undead Legion that Lux could summon anytime, the two of them were part of the living. Although they knew that there was a chance that the red-headed teenager would revive them if they died, they had no intention of taking that risk.

As the two made their hasty retreat, ALL-MITE and Zagan sneakily tried to take the Phoenix Feather, but were captured instead by the vines of the Dryad Queen, who found the two bandits quite amusing.

"Mine," Cornelia said as she wagged the Phoenix Feather in front of Lux's two subordinates who were hanging upside down in front of her. "Understand?"

"Yes," ALL-MITE replied.

"Yes, Ma'am," Zagan answered.

Cornelia giggled before releasing the two members of Lux's Covenant, who immediately went to their Master's side in order to protect him.

Lux pretended that he didn't see what his two subordinates did, and ordered Asmodeus to summon Ithaqua back to his side.

The Creature of the Cold White Silence was not a Monster that would revive itself after it was killed. He needed to pay a Deimos-Ranked Core in order to revive it if it died, and he wanted to save his high-level cores as much as possible.

Because of this, Ithaqua couldn't die, so he asked Asmodeus to save it from dying.

Lux also summoned Diablo and Ishtar to his side, leaving the Skeleton Gang Bangers, Steel Golems, and Liches to continue their rampage.

Five minutes later, a smile appeared on the Half-Elf's face as he successfully registered The Destroyer, as one of the Guild's properties.

Without even wasting any time, the red-headed teenager sent the Weapon of War to their Guild Treasury, which was located in their Main Guild Headquarters in the Outer Reaches.

After taking his prize, Lux shifted his attention to the Magical Cannons in the distance and gave Cornelia a devilish smile.

The corner of the Dryad Queen's lips twitched, but seeing that she agreed to help Lux in the war against the Haca Dynasty, she reluctantly nodded her head and picked up the Half-Elf like a sack of rice before flying towards the Magical Cannons that the Half-Elf had also set his sights on.

Great General Garret noticed where the Dryad Queen was going and almost puked out blood in frustration.

Although he was strong, he would need four more High-Rankers in order to fight the Empyrean-Ranked Alpha Monster.

Unfortunately, these strong fighters were busy fighting against Barca and the four Orc Warlords.

With the Dryad Queen taking possession of their important War Machines, the Great General knew that they could no longer afford to continue the campaign, and ordered a full retreat.

Naturally, the Orcs didn't allow them to run away so easily, so they pursued the retreating army mercilessly.

While all of this was happening, Lux busied himself with securing the Magical Cannons for his Guild, while his Undead Legion accompanied the Orcs and chased away the Human army, which had suffered an unexpected loss against the Orc's counterattack.
