Davis faced the two Lizardmen Undying Emperors with a calm expression. "Old Ancestors," he said, "it's precisely because my opponent is Lin Zhan that I must go all out. Rommel, with his army of 1.6 million from the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, was defeated by Lin Zhan."
"If I can defeat him, our Lizardmen's ranking among the Ten Thousand Races will surely advance again. My name, Davis, will also surpass Rommel's."
After exchanging a glance, the two Lizardmen Undying Emperors waved their hands and summoned a Lizardman King. "Go," they instructed, "return to the Royal Court and relay Davis's words. Tell them to dispatch an additional three million Golden-ranked Royal Court legions, and fulfill all of Davis's demands."
"Yes, Old Ancestors, I will return immediately." The King-ranked Lizardman received the order and departed.
The two Undying Emperors turned back to Davis. "Child," they said, "all your needs will be met by your ancestors. Furthermore, besides the two of us old bones, four other Emperors and thirty-five Kings, along with their Nine-headed Lizard companions of the same rank, will arrive by tonight at the latest. These powerhouses will all be at your disposal."
Davis knelt deeply and bowed. "Thank you, Old Ancestors, for your trust. Davis here swears that in my lifetime, I will certainly restore the prestige of the Lizardmen and make them one of the great races among the Ten Thousand Races."
With that, Davis rose and personally went to the front lines to oversee the battle.
Lin Zhan watched with a sinister grin as the Lizardmen's cannon fodder was all annihilated. He also noticed Davis returning after a while, full of renewed confidence, to personally oversee his legions on the front lines.
"Everyone, do you see? Our adorable little friend here just went back to cry to his parents."
"It seems I need to add a little more fuel to the fire, to provoke this little friend a bit more."
With that, Lin Zhan said to a nearby staff officer, "Someone, help me disarm."
Several staff officers quickly stepped forward, removed Lin Zhan's garish red and green cape, and helped him take off his combat suit. Lin Zhan retrieved the battle armor that Emperor Xin wore in his youth from his spatial storage, and with a thought, the armor automatically clad him.
A black cape with dragon patterns was draped over his pauldrons with the assistance of his staff officers. The Blazing Sun Blade, gifted to him by Emperor Kuafu, was slung at his left waist.
As the saying goes, "A man is judged by his clothes, a horse by its saddle." Dressed like this, Lin Zhan transformed from a down-and-out eighth-rate singer into a heroic young general.
Lin Zhan picked up a javelin, attached the garish cape he had just taken off to it, and shot it towards Davis.
Davis had been meticulously observing Lin Zhan's every move since returning to the front lines. Seeing Lin Zhan clad in armor, Davis's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but think, This must be Lin Zhan's true form. I was wondering how someone who defeated Rommel could be a lunatic.
As Lin Zhan's javelin flew towards him, Davis initially intended to catch it with his hand, but Lin Zhan's strength was too great. Not only could the Diamond-tier intermediate Davis not catch the javelin, but his palm was also cut by the forceful aura it carried. The javelin, along with Lin Zhan's cape, embedded itself into the gate of the Lizardmen's camp.
"Davis, I'll give you this cape. I promise you, when I have slaughtered the entire Lizardman race, this cape can be used to cover your corpse, to prevent you from lying exposed in the wilderness." Lin Zhan looked at Davis, speaking with unprecedented killing intent.
The two Lizardmen Undying Emperors instantly appeared beside Davis, and said to Lin Zhan with immense killing intent, "Since this little chanting novice is so brutal, it seems we cannot let you live." With that, a powerful undying pressure surged towards the fortress, directly targeting Lin Zhan.
Xuan Shang and the other three instantly appeared before the fortress, blocking the oppressive pressure from the two Lizardmen Undying Emperors. Simultaneously, they unleashed their own undying pressure, directing it towards the Lizardmen's camp.
The two Lizardmen Emperors, sensing that Xuan Shang and the other three were stronger and more numerous, each summoned their Nine-headed Lizard companions to resist the pressure.
Lin Zhan stared at the Nine-headed Lizards opposite him with astonishment. "Holy shit, did Yamata no Orochi cheat, or did a lizard cheat on its leg? What is this thing?" Without heeding the resentful gaze of the Yamata no Orochi, he immediately spoke, "Yamata, your son is here, why don't you show yourself and recognize your kin?" Sudan Novel Network
The Yamata no Orochi looked wronged. "Uncle, don't wrong me. This hybrid of a swamp giant lizard and a deep abyss dragon has nothing to do with me. I'm still a young bachelor, how can any girl be with me after you say this?"
However, despite his complaints, the Yamata no Orochi directly revealed its true form, releasing an oppressive aura no less than that of the two Nine-headed Lizards towards the Lizardmen.
Lin Zhan nodded with satisfaction at the Yamata no Orochi's actions. "You call yourself a young bachelor? I think you're a plucked bachelor. However, Yamata, you're missing a head, and it does look quite unsightly. I should ask the System someday if there are any elixirs that can make your missing head grow back."
With that, Lin Zhan squinted towards the Lizardmen's camp and quietly said to the young Taoist beside him, "Brother-in-law, didn't we capture some Lizardmen Emperors and Kings? Where are they?"
"Big Brother, didn't you say you wanted to keep them for the sacrificial ceremony? They've been sealed and imprisoned in the dungeon. Brother Tie Number Six and Brother Eight are watching them," the young Taoist replied after thinking for a moment.
Lin Zhan nodded. "Go and bring them all up. Now is not the time to keep them alive; we should kill them!"
"Right away, Big Brother, just watch!" Zhang Haoming, worthy of being personally trained by Lin Zhan, became visibly excited at the mention of sacrificial offerings. He quickly scurried with his short legs towards the direction of the dungeon.
Before long, four Lizardmen Emperors and thirteen Lizardmen Kings were brought up by the Tie brothers. Tie Laosi looked at the Lizardmen Undying Emperors and the Nine-headed Lizards confronting Xuan Shang and the other three, and grinned broadly. "Brothers, what's the meaning of this? Do you need me to take care of those guys?"
Lin Zhan shook his head. "Fourth Brother, it's not time yet. There are too few sheep; not enough to eat. Let's lure in a few more sheep before we make our move."
Tie Laosi smiled even more heartily. "It's good that my brother understands us. When there are more of them, we brothers will make our move. Especially the Nine-headed Lizards, they are full of treasures, and are very valuable."
Lin Zhan blinked. "Nani? Fourth Brother, please elaborate." Tie Laosi swayed his large head and said to Lin Zhan, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Nine-headed Lizard only has one core. The other heads each contain a Dragon Pearl. Combined with the Nine-headed Lizard's hide, it can be used to forge a higher-grade armor."
