Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 922 The Demon Race of Africa

"Ow!"

The chimpanzees fled from the First Yellow Sky with wailing cries; their strength was indeed terrifying, and their bodies were strong enough to withstand the recoil from such power.

However, their minds were too fragile, and the pain instantly shattered their fighting spirit.

"Keep chasing!"

Ma Er already sensed something was wrong; they seemed to be being led by the nose by the white-haired one-horned lion opposite them.

And there's a ghostly sense of familiarity about it.

They chased the white-haired unicorn lion into a dense forest.

Monkeys roamed the dense forest, hurling stones at the First Yellow Sky with incredible speed and power, each stone imbued with the elite talent of penetrating attacks.

At this moment, Ma Er finally remembered why it felt so familiar.

This is a damn ambush, and they're the ones being besieged.

It appears they are chasing the white-haired unicorn lion, but in reality, they are completely following the lion's plan.

"This beast is truly a genius!"

Ma Er was so angry he laughed. He wanted to see what tricks the other party could pull today.

On one side, Ma Er was frantically chasing the white-haired unicorn lion, while on the other side, Bai He was leading the new recruits in a fighting retreat.

With veterans occasionally covering the rear, it was a long, desperate marathon for these new recruits.

If you can't run, you really will be eaten by wild animals.

"At this rate, when will this ever end!"

Some new recruits have already broken down, stopping in despair.

Being selected as a candidate to enter the First Yellow Heaven is a great honor.

But why is the situation so terrible right from the start?

They've been running for a full six hours; even the strongest iron can't withstand this kind of torture.

"Idiot, instead of howling, you'd better run!"

Baihe kicked him away, simultaneously channeling some of his military spirit power into him; his judgment was the same as Ma Er's.

These beasts are under command, and by a large army at that—it's unbelievable.

Are large legions so worthless now?

Why can't they become commanders of large armies?
Although Baihe had studied very hard, he was still flustered when it came to actual practice, and he couldn't even handle the idiotic army that Han Xin and his men had created.

Baihe still can't understand how, during the course of battle, soldiers from the front lines could be replaced and regrouped in the rear.

If the front lines are in a losing position, there's simply no way to spare manpower; if you do, the situation will collapse instantly.

What do you mean by saying that if you send two hundred men in a cross formation to push each other up, you can pull the frontline soldiers down?
What do you mean by "this is very simple, anyone with hands can do it"?

Baihe was desperate, "I don't have hands!"

Looking at Sun Tzu's sincere face, I realized that he had no reason to deceive me. Then, recalling Han Xin's sarcastic and meaningful smile, I understood what it meant to tell you the answer, but you still wouldn't understand, or even copy it correctly.

So now, seeing that even wild beasts could produce large-scale army commanders, Baihe was filled with resentment and wished he could rush out and kill that damned beast, just like Ma Er.

Unfortunately, they could only run, heading north towards Rome.

In the direction of Africa near Rome, there were Roman legions stationed and even built cities. Relying on these fortified cities for defense, they were certainly able to repel these wild beasts.

Of course, Baihe's biggest wish now is to find a place to settle these new recruits.

Then lead the veterans into central Africa and take care of the beasts behind these damned animals.

Then they came across the Roman legions being chased by rhinoceroses.

The Roman legions were having a tough time in Africa; their main force, the Eagle Legion, had been taken to fight in the Imperial Wars and had not yet returned.

The first to suffer from the African beast tide uprising were Xinghan's various supply points, and the second to suffer were the legions stationed in Rome.

Mu Yi had previously dealt with the African beasts, almost wiping out the demon race, but they couldn't withstand the influx of outsiders.

These demons, blessed with good fortune, have almost united all the wild beasts in Africa, quietly accumulating power. Especially during the time when Mu Yi was away, their development has been nothing short of meteoric.

Furthermore, the cooperation between insects and demons has given many wild beasts elite talents, making them an even greater threat.

The Roman legions, lured deep into enemy territory, were utterly wiped out and relentlessly pursued and slaughtered by the beast tide. The remaining Roman defenders were left only with the ability to defend, having lost the capacity to quell the beast tide.

If the Roman legions hadn't been quite strong and hadn't been fully armed, they probably would have been severely damaged by those wild beasts, whose numbers were unknown.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the First Yellow Heaven can move freely in and out of the beast tide. The ordinary Imperial Guard legions simply cannot deal with the beast tide. Ordinary Imperial Guards would die if they faced a charge of rhinoceroses head-on.

Suppressing the urge to curse, Baihe head-on defeated the herd of rhinoceroses chasing the Roman legions, and then led his army in a roundabout route towards their encampment.

The situation in Africa has completely collapsed.

"What do we do next? Didn't you say humans are strong and we shouldn't provoke them? Why did you start this war again?" A lion radiating golden light asked the old monkey beside him.

"Are you really not suffering from dementia, but rather aware of what you're doing?"

"Of course I understand!" The old monkey recalled the apocalyptic disaster he had witnessed, his face showing extreme fear.

If it hadn't already broken through the boundaries back then, it would have died in that apocalyptic disaster long ago.

"That's precisely why I don't want you all to be killed!"

"You must understand that only those who have value will not be abandoned, and what we need to demonstrate is that we have sufficient value!"

"You want to seek refuge with humans? You know they'll never agree!" the golden lion said with a hint of helplessness.

If it hadn't been raised by the old monkey, it would also be one of those who opposed the old monkey.

"You are too young. Humanity will soon show you who the true master of this land is!"

The old monkey's gaze was incredibly deep as he looked up at the starlight markers floating above their heads.

This thing is like a death warrant; once it's hung up, it means their life is on a countdown. So now, in order to survive, they have to fight with all their might.

Guo Jia, who was in Luoyang, found Jia Xu with the intelligence. The head injury he had suffered had affected his intelligence and dulled his sense of smell.

It wasn't until he was dreaming that Guo Jia finally understood the whole story.

"You mean, those demon tribes in Africa want to be granted amnesty?" Jia Xu pondered the possibility of this after listening to Guo Jia's analysis.

A moment later, he realized that what Guo Jia said was not impossible.

"Judging from various intelligence reports, what they did was more about driving them away than directly destroying them."

“Those wild beasts may not have any thoughts, but the demons hiding among them definitely do.”

Guo Jia said with great certainty.

Jia Xu thought about it and realized that this possibility couldn't be ruled out. After all, Mu Yi had dealt with the entire African continent before, and there must have been some that escaped. It wasn't surprising that these monsters were terrified and lacked the courage to continue fighting them.

Animals are more direct than humans, adhering to the natural law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. In their eyes, Mu Yi is strong enough, so it's not impossible for them to be willing to submit to him.

"So what do you plan to do? Wait and see?" Jia Xu looked Guo Jia up and down. He felt that Guo Jia had been acting a little strange ever since he was injured.

He seemed to be desperately trying to prove that he was alright, but the cruel reality clearly told others that Guo Jia was in trouble, and it was a very serious matter; he was no longer as strong as before.

"I'm going to see the Emperor! You're coming with me!" Guo Jia said to Jia Xu after a moment of silence.

"I'll go with you!" Jia Xu was a bit overwhelmed. It seemed that Guo Jia's problem was bigger than he had imagined. Asking someone to accompany him was a clear sign of Guo Jia's lack of confidence.

Clearly, Guo Jia understood his situation, but he still forced himself to do it; this guy was simply insane.

"Looks like I need to find some time to send this guy to do some menial tasks," Jia Xu thought calmly.

Guo Jia's condition has become somewhat paranoid; we need to give him something to distract him.

The war with the Qing court resulted in significant losses for Xinghan.

Mu Yi has recently been trying to retrieve people from the underworld, but because Qing Ting is not completely dead yet, it's not going very smoothly.

The probability of successfully rescuing someone and getting rid of the goods is extremely low, but Mu Yi managed to rescue Ao Bai from among them.

Mu Yi sent the person to reincarnation. The person's loyalty to the Qing court was commendable, and Mu Yi had no intention of harming the person, so he sent them to reincarnate and grow up in the Star River. Perhaps in the future, they will become a new banner of the Star River.

Those who died in battle, like Ardashir, received the same treatment as their counterparts.

Mu Yi sighed and threw the people he had rescued into the Netherworld. Resurrection also required procedures, otherwise it would easily cause trouble.

Fortunately, they were already familiar with the process. The people who were rescued were first put to work in the underworld, and then returned to the mortal world in batches after their souls had stabilized.

"Ok?"

Just as Mu Yi rolled up his sleeves, ready to continue working, he felt Guo Jia and Jia Xu calling out to him.

"See the Emperor!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia bowed respectfully and greeted each other.

"What happened?" Mu Yi glanced at the two men's expressions. They had come together but didn't seem anxious. They wouldn't have come to him unless it was something serious, which made him curious.

Guo Jia recounted his discovery.

Mu Yi raised an eyebrow; this was indeed a novel idea.

"What are your two ideas on how to handle this matter?" Mu Yi asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu for their opinions.

In terms of coexisting with other races, Xinghan has done a pretty good job. Whether it's the beastmen, dragons, or elves from other worlds, they have all entered the empire's ecosystem.

Many people also obtained official positions through schooling and the imperial examinations.

Theoretically, the demon race is also acceptable.

However, Xinghan has another option: to directly annihilate these demon races and nip all risks in the bud.

"Your Majesty, I propose that the Miracle Legion be transferred to Africa!" Guo Jia said.

Mu Yi nodded, saying that taking control of the situation first was a good option.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear anything from Guo Jia. He looked at Guo Jia with some doubt, but then he saw cold sweat beading on Guo Jia's forehead.

Mu Yi immediately understood that Guo Jia was putting on a brave face while offering advice. Realizing Guo Jia's problem, Mu Yi frowned and looked at Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

Mu Yi signaled to Jia Xu to find a way to solve the problem.

"Your Majesty, the demon race is impossible to exterminate. Taking them into our service would be a good strategy!" Jia Xu was more inclined to accept them.

The fanaticism of converts was what Jia Xu was most interested in.

He hoped to introduce alien races to encourage the activity of young people in the Star River, rather than letting them wallow in the glory of the empire and become decadent.

In Jia Xu's eyes, the demon race might not be a non-issue that couldn't stir up trouble.

After understanding Jia Xu's meaning, Mu Yi looked at Guo Jia, tapped Guo Jia's forehead with a finger, and used the will of the empire to soothe Guo Jia's condition.

"Demonstrate our strength first, then offer amnesty!" Guo Jia said, explaining his thoughts only after calming the situation.

"In that case, we will do as you say and send all the Miracle Legions to Africa, while Rome prepares its fleet to resupply and establish new supply points in Africa."

After the matter was settled, Guo Jia was taken away by Jia Xu, who said he wanted to find a place to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Mu Yi was also quite at ease entrusting Guo Jia to Jia Xu, as Guo Jia did indeed have something to learn from Jia Xu in terms of life wisdom.

He didn't want to see Guo Jia torment him to the point of near death.

After finalizing the plan, the Miracle Legion, which had been whittling down its backlash in Luoyang, was all teleported to the African continent by Mu Yi.

"So what's the situation now?"

Zhang Liao glanced at Oswin, Sakarana, and Hua Xiong beside him, then at Baihe directly opposite him. His eye twitched slightly, but he still chose to take up the command.

Having gotten used to being ordered around, he almost forgot that he was now a commander of a large army, albeit a rather incompetent one, but still much better than the ones around him.

"Ma Er was chasing and killing demons in central Africa, and we were blocked by the beast tide and couldn't leave."

"You'll get blocked too?" Hua Xiong looked at Bai He incredulously.

They all knew very well how strong Huang Tian was.

"If we leave, we definitely won't be able to hold this dilapidated city!" Baihe said helplessly, rubbing his temples.

Attacking the enemy forces them to defend; this tactic is ruthless.

If Baihe leaves from here, the entire garrison might not be able to hold out.

The beast tide is no joke, or rather, it can no longer be called a beast tide, but rather a demon army.

"In that case, the three of us will stay, and you can go and beat up the stubborn ones among the demon race, is that alright?" Zhang Liao looked at Oswin and Sakala, and then made the decision.

"I won't be taking the new recruits with me! I'll hand them over to you as well!" Hua Xiong said.

Besides flexing their muscles, they also have the mission of training reserve troops this time.

"give it to me!"

Zhang Liao waved his hand. Although he wasn't a master of military training, he was still good at physical training. Plus, with so many wild beasts around, they could train in actual combat.

"Then leave it to you!"

Baihe handed command to Zhang Liao and led his men on a wild dash toward Ma Er.

He needed to relay the order from Luoyang to Ma Er first.

If Ma Er were to go on a killing spree and disrupt the overall situation, that would be disastrous.
