Chapter 525: Who Are We!

Seeing that the Beastmen and zombies were no match for the Undead Legion, if it wasn’t for the decisive reputation of the Hachikuju Red Flame Legion, there might have been deserters long ago.

However, even in this barely stable state of the army, it won’t last long.

Not to mention the vast skeleton army, just looking at those enormous creatures stationed in the rear is enough to make one shudder.

With creatures like bone dragons appearing, how can one not be fearful, after all, they are human!

Just as Hachikuju and White Phoenix Yuan Rui were about to rush back to the battlefield, they were stopped by the Hellfire of the Death Phoenix.

The black flames burned fiercely, swallowing the energy around White Phoenix. In the flames, came the chilling voice of Death Phoenix.

“Did I let you go? You can only watch as the human race is destroyed!”

Then, Death Phoenix’s flames rushed towards Hachikuju and forced them back to where they were.

Zhang Mu gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Wanxun beside him, saying, “Xun’er, help me out.”

Luo Wanxun immediately understood his request and instantly poured her calming energy into Zhang Mu’s body.

The Buddhist Demon Pagoda on his chest shimmered with the energy circuit’s light, covering the area where the human race and the Tree Man legion were with Luo Wanxun’s power.

Illusion magic activated!

Everyone’s gaze focused on Zhang Mu, who had been unnoticed before. They were surprised to see someone taking action in such a critical situation.

Because of the distance, even the old members of the Red Flame Legion did not recognize Zhang Mu at once. Their attention was on the approaching Undead Legion.

No one believed in Zhang Mu’s leadership power, except the Corpse Emperor whose eyes showed uncertain looks after being troubled by this power.

He knew about Zhang Mu’s abilities, and suddenly a terrifying possibility crossed his mind!

What if Zhang Mu’s leadership could make the Undead Legion mistake his zombie army or the Beast Tide for humans, wouldn’t that be something!

Indeed, Zhang Mu had thought about this idea, but unfortunately, his power was limited, and protecting one or two thousand people was already the maximum illusion range he could sustain.

Wanting to blame the Corpse Emperor, but powerless to do so.

Everyone knew that facing the terrifying Undead Legion head-on, the two races stood no chance, with timid elves already hiding on the branches of the Tree Man, trembling in fear, not daring to open their eyes, their innocence making them very afraid of this hellish aura.

With all eyes on them, as the Undead Legion was about to arrive, they finally changed direction!

Avoiding the location of the human race, many evolvers couldn’t help but quietly cheer, holding their breath.

It really worked!

But before Zhang Mu could catch his breath, he suddenly noticed that the ghostly servant of Ghostly Colt was nowhere to be seen!

A sense of unease engulfed Zhang Mu.

The next moment, a loud crack sounded from above the crowd’s heads.

Zhang Mu’s illusion barrier was actually sliced open, and the one inserted at the top was the Crescent Moon Blade wrapped in black mist.

As everyone looked up, Zhang Mu’s illusion was shattered.

Above them, Ghostly Colt stood in mid-air, stepping on black flames, while the ghostly servant looked down at Zhang Mu with a disdainful gaze.

Those eyes seemed to mock Zhang Mu’s power, daring to deceive him – such audacity!

Zhang Mu had thought he could at least delay for a while, until Hachikuju and White Phoenix dealt with Demoness Moon, but he never expected his illusion to be exposed.

And most strangely, an intangible illusion was broken by a tangible sword.

What kind of existence is that knife, that ghost general!

At the moment when the ghost general broke the illusion barrier, the Skeleton Legion’s heads twisted neatly ninety degrees, with blue flames dancing in the dark holes, staring at the already frightened people.

“Ah!”

As the first evolver couldn’t bear this fear and started desperately running away, more and more evolvers were driven to panic by this atmosphere and began to flee regardless of orders.

They had witnessed the fate of the Beastman a moment ago, the feeling of being dismembered must not be pleasant at all.

Apart from the well-trained Red Flame Legion and the Tree Man Legion obedient to Zhang Mu’s commands, basically all those who were afraid had already fled.

And the ghost general overlooking them from above had a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.

A light stroke of the Crescent Moon Blade in hand sealed off the escape routes of those fleeing soldiers with rising ghost energy, anyone touching that ghost energy would have their flesh corroded.

But these people, even if they couldn’t leave, lost their fighting spirit, collapsing at the edge of the ghost energy, their eyes hollow.

However, not all humans are like that.

There is another group of warriors!

At first, the Red Flame Legion wanted to execute the deserters to strengthen the army’s morale. However, they later realized that only a few thousand of them were left, so they did not take action and just watched the enemy in the distance.

The veterans who experienced the battle of Ordos City have started to get excited.

It’s been a long time since they’ve had such an exhilarating battle like that one!

Even though their leader is absent this time, they still have enough confidence to lead the entire Red Flame Legion.

Most of them were only at the first-rank peak or second-rank initial strength back then. But now, at least everyone here has grown to the third-rank peak.

Because they have a common name, a name worth protecting with their lives.

Yang Hao rode a red warhorse, his weapon already imbued with solid earth-element, gazing intently at the location of the Skeleton Legion.

“I, Yang Hao, the deputy leader of the Red Flame Legion, ask you all, do you still remember our supreme name?”

The new recruits’ eyes sparkled with excitement. They had only heard stories of the past, never imagining they would have the chance to join that legendary formation.

“We remember!”

Behind Yang Hao, a deafening roar echoed through the skies!

“We couldn’t mix with those cowardly people before. Now, only we remain, and that suits us just fine.

Brothers, tell those skeleton frames across from us who we are!”

The new recruits shouted with gusto, pouring all their strength into the cry.

“Red Flame Wolf Rider!”

“Red Flame Wolf Rider!”

Yang Hao hadn’t heard such a neat name for a long time, remembering the past two and a half years of growing from a soldier to now, recalling the difficult days when he and his brothers survived back to back.

His heart, his blood, burning freely!

Yang Hao pointed his long knife towards the Skeleton Legion in the distance, his roar roaring in everyone’s ears!

“The battle continues!”

The voices of hundreds of old soldiers echoed through the entire Red Flame Legion.

“The spirit of the wolf is indestructible!”

This long-silent voice resounded again at this moment, returning with supreme glory, just like facing enemies many times their number in the past, carrying unparalleled determination, echoing through the entire sky.

“The battle continues, the spirit of the wolf is indestructible!”

“Kill!”

Faced with the massive Skeleton Legion, facing creatures from myths.

The brave Red Flame Legion charges forward, ready for battle!

The Red Flame Wolf Rider has returned.
