Chapter 512: Chapter 512: All units follow my command, attack with me! (2nd update)
The burly man’s body was covered with various wounds, some deep enough to expose the bone, others already beginning to fester.
Despite this, however, the man’s gaze was strikingly calm, eerily so to an unsettling degree.
The Lady of Bone, who had cultivated for a thousand years and thought her heart could no longer be perturbed, couldn’t help but shudder slightly at this moment.
If one were to say who among the entire allied forces of the Demon Race had suffered the most grievous losses, the Elephant Demon Clan would undoubtedly rank at the top.
The physical bodies of the Elephant Demon Clan were extremely formidable, and only they could barely resist the onslaught of demons.
Therefore, in every major battle, these towering Elephant Demons stood at the very front of the troops.
With their flesh and blood, they constructed a solid barrier.
After such continuous campaigning, this powerful tribe had almost been utterly decimated, and even those who had survived were utterly exhausted.
Facing such a clan on the verge of extinction, even the heart-as-cold-as-iron Lady of Bone felt uneasy about giving any more orders.
But unexpectedly, the Elephant Demons actually volunteered to take the stand.
“Your Excellency, Elephant King, you…” the Lady of Bone said hesitantly.
The Elephant King shook his head gently, looking at the swiftly approaching demon army, and spoke in a calm tone.
“My lady, my sons, my nephews, and practically all the boys of the Elephant Demon Clan have already died in battle, I watched each one of them die before my eyes! Now it’s my turn!”
The Elephant King paused, “If possible, I hope you can bring back our corpses. I don’t want our skeletons to become trophies for those demons!”
The Lady of Bone suddenly didn’t know what to say, and could only nod vigorously.
The Elephant King smiled and then turned to walk towards the front line.
Behind him, several dozen injured Elephant Demons slowly walked on.
The rain kept pouring down heavier.
The Elephant King suddenly started to chant softly.
As he chanted, these Elephant Demons let out a deafening roar in unison.
The Lady of Bone knew that this was the war song of the Elephant Demons.
Once started, there was no retreat until death.
The Lady of Bone trembled slightly, took a deep breath, and was about to give an order.
Then from within those city gates, Snake Demons as well as Tiger Demons and Wolf Demons all came out.
All these demons were covered with wounds, yet their faces were equally serene.
“My lady, the Snake Demon Clan is ready to fight!”
“The Tiger Demon Clan is ready to fight!”
“The Wolf Demon Clan is ready to fight!”
“…”
Suddenly, the Lady of Bone’s eyes started to feel warm, and hot tears flowed down from her dried-up sockets.
Strange.
Haven’t I lost the ability to cry?
Then what are these fluids?
Is it because of these foolish fellows?
Knowing full well they will die, yet they charge forward regardless.
Utterly foolish.
But… even if they are fools, they shouldn’t die at the hands of demons!
The wind and rain passed through the middle of the troops and then swept towards the increasingly dark sky.
The Lady of Bone took a deep breath, slowly raised the Bone Sword in her hand, and pointed it forward.
“All troops, follow me into battle!”
The demon army surged like a flood, overwhelmingly advancing.
The Elephant Demons roared and revealed their true forms.
Giant elephants, towering like immense pillars dozens of meters tall, managed to hold off the tide.
But in just a moment, several Elephant Demons let out a mournful cry, slowly falling, never to get up again.
The Elephant King’s body was the largest, and the most demons died at his feet.
Seeing his own kin beginning to fall one after another, the Elephant King couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming blend of sorrow and rage, roaring as he tried to rush over to rescue them.
