"Boss, I've had this idea for a long time, but my strength was insufficient! Now that you're here, I can let loose!" Xiao Fantuan's eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't help but clench his fists. Even as a Royal-level expert, in front of Bai Ye, he was still like a child, as he had been before.
"From now on, this Titas world will be our pasture, and all the little animals will be devoured! Ya hahaha!!!"
"Boss, let me tell you, there's a type of spicy strip called You in this desert. After removing both ends, whether it's grilled or steamed, it's a top-grade delicacy!"
"Oh? Really!"
"I still have a little stock left. The brats under my command just slaughtered one and sent it over the other day. Let me take you to try it!! Let's go, let's go!"
As he spoke, Xiao Fantuan led Bai Ye towards the imperial palace's kitchen and dining hall. Thinking of those delicious little animals, drool ran down the corners of his mouth. Looking at his plump body and bulging belly, it was clear that countless 'little animals' had mysteriously disappeared during this time.
Xiao Fantuan's palace was much inferior to those of other countries, but his restaurant was the most magnificent, equipped with all sorts of facilities and tableware. The most exaggerated was his dining table, which was over a hundred square meters, larger than his alliance conference room!
"Boss! Wasn't I right? You, these little spicy strips, are tender and fresh. When you bite into them, a surge of energy erupts. Hiss, it's too satisfying!"
"And this, this, this, Nine Heavens Demon Bird eggs. It was quite a hassle to catch them. They don't nest in trees or on the ground, and the remaining eggs are all hidden in their wombs. Such sly creatures!"
Having not seen each other for a long time and missing each other dearly, Xiao Fantuan chattered endlessly. Furthermore, on the topic of food, he was like a top gourmet, with professional and inexhaustible things to say.
Finding Xiao Fantuan, Bai Ye's mood greatly improved, and his appetite also increased. The two ate voraciously, like a whirlwind clearing the clouds, and the food on the large table was swept clean. The chefs in the kitchen were stunned and busy, their faces covered in sweat.
Meanwhile, in the Gama Kingdom, after the monarchs of the Marai Kingdom and the Xifasi Kingdom returned to their countries and recounted the situation of the Lex Alliance, the three countries immediately assembled their armies. They divided into three routes and marched triumphantly, encircling the Kres Alliance in a pincer movement.
"The Chaotic Domain harbors only those who have committed egregious sins. It is a land of evil and should not exist on the surface."
"The Chaotic Domain has severely impacted regional security. Dispatching troops to quell it is for the safety of the citizens of the three countries..."
Before the expedition, the pronouncements issued by the three countries to condemn Xi Wen won the support of the domestic population. Countless citizens lined the streets to bid farewell, wishing the conquering army a triumphant return.
On the side of the Kres Alliance, Xiao Fantuan also summoned his troops. Due to the special circumstances of the chaotic region, there were fewer than ten thousand regular troops within the city. The rest were mercenary legions who made a living by adventuring, treasure hunting, and hunting magical beasts in the dangerous parts of the chaos. Upon hearing the call, they also rushed back to the City of Chaos.
In ten days, the Kres Alliance had assembled an army of one hundred thousand. The three-nation alliance, on the other hand, had a force of three hundred thousand, with nearly a hundred thousand in each route. Compared to the armies of millions that often appeared on Blue Star, these were considered minor battles. However, each of their soldiers was a super warrior possessing magical abilities, and their destructive power was quite formidable.
"Bad news! The Gama Kingdom, the Marai Kingdom, and the Xifasi Kingdom have dispatched their armies and are marching towards our Chaotic Domain!"
"Thirty thousand troops, divided into three routes, have already surrounded us! Moreover, they are led by five Emperors. Disaster has befallen us!"
"We only have Emperor Fantuan, and our army is only a hundred thousand. How can we resist?"
"Run! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
"Let's run, let's run. Staying here is a dead end!"
Rumors spread by spies from the three countries within the City of Chaos caused widespread panic. Countless people fled the city overnight.
"My Lord, the posture of the three countries indicates a fight to the death. Are we truly going to engage them in a decisive battle?" Several of Xiao Fantuan's generals also showed signs of timidity.
In the conference room, Xiao Fantuan glanced at them and said, "Fight! Not only will we fight, but we will also annihilate them!"
The generals exchanged glances, wanting to speak but hesitating. They also wanted to destroy these armies and even invade their territories to burn, kill, and loot, becoming rich overnight. However, they had to consider their own strength!
"But, My Lord, even if we miraculously defeat them, they have the Empire backing them. At that time, we..." The second most powerful general under Xiao Fantuan, a gentlemanly man, said worriedly.
Upon hearing his words, the faces of the other generals turned even more grim. This was a war they were destined to lose!
Xiao Fantuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have reinforcements, and so do we."
"What? Who will support our Chaotic Domain?" The generals were shocked and confused by Xiao Fantuan's words.
"You don't need to worry about this!" Xiao Fantuan arranged: "Feng Ke Lai, you and Louis will lead one army to intercept the Gama Kingdom's forces. Ruth and Jiao will lead the troops to intercept the Xifasi Kingdom's army, and send Kos to lead the army to intercept the Marai Kingdom. You don't need to engage them in a direct fight; you just need to lure them here!"
As he spoke, Xiao Fantuan's fair and tender fingers pointed to a map made of beast hide on the conference table.
"This is... Death Valley!!!" The generals looked closely, their eyes filled with shock. "My Lord, this is a place of death! If we converge here, we won't even be able to escape!!!"
"What are you afraid of? I will be waiting for you in Death Valley then!" Xiao Fantuan's young face turned somewhat cold, and he added, "What? You don't want to carry out the order?"
"No! We obey your orders, My Lord!"
"Acknowledged, My Lord!" Seeing Xiao Fantuan's anger, even these generals, whose strength had reached the quasi-royal level, dared not disobey. After the meeting, the generals led the three armies out of the city successively, heading in three directions to intercept the invading enemies from the three kingdoms.
Five days later, the three armies of the Lex Alliance successively encountered the armies of the three kingdoms. As per Xiao Fantuan's orders, they avoided the strong offensives of the three kingdoms, fighting and retreating intermittently, slowly withdrawing towards Death Valley.
"Report, officer, we've found the remnants of the Lex Alliance. They are in this location!"
"Additionally, we've discovered that the armies of the Xifasi Kingdom and the Marai Kingdom have driven the other Lex Alliance forces towards this area. Now, all the remaining Lex Alliance forces are trapped in this valley!" The vanguard of the Gama Kingdom transmitted the information back to the main camp.
"Haha! I thought it would be a fierce battle, but it turns out they are a rabble." The commander of the Gama Kingdom burst into laughter. "Let's surround them first. I don't believe that Emperor Fantuan will just stand by and watch his army be annihilated! As long as he comes, he can be dealt with by the Emperors!"
"It seems that even heaven is helping us!"
"Report! Officer, there's new information!"
"Speak!"
"We've found Emperor Fantuan in the valley!"
"Ah? What!! Hahaha, what is this Emperor Fantuan trying to do? Does he really intend to fight us three kingdoms by himself? Quickly report to Lord Sand!"
"Yes, officer!"
The Death Valley was shrouded in a gray mist, with nothing growing. Steep cliffs surrounded it on all sides. The tens of thousands of troops of the Lex Alliance were gathered within, while the armies of the three kingdoms tightly blocked the few passages, with hundreds of thousands of troops looking down from above.
"If our allied forces combine their strength and launch a fierce assault, bombarding the valley, they will surely suffer heavy casualties? What exactly is Emperor Fantuan up to?" The Emperors of the three kingdoms appeared one after another, gazing at the valley with furrowed brows.
"It is confirmed, that Emperor Fantuan is in the valley, and his aura has been detected!"
"There's nothing to consider, attack directly!"
Receiving the orders from their respective Emperors, the commanders of the united forces of the three kingdoms simultaneously issued the command. "All units, prepare to attack!!!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
In an instant, the cliffs flickered with waves of light, the entire space was filled with violent magical fluctuations, and countless magical attacks rained down into the valley!
