Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 9: The Destructive Power of Monsters
"For His Majesty! For the General!"

The soldiers raised their spears high and responded to the call of their Majesty.

As they responded, the blood began to stir, and blood-red lines began to appear on their body surfaces. Even the war horses under their crotch were covered in these blood-red lines.

"Xilulu!"

The war horses neighed in unison.

They are originally a special species on this planet. They look very similar to black horses, but they have a single horn on their heads, just like the legendary unicorns.

They are shiny black all over, and have excellent endurance and load-bearing capacity. The average height of an adult wildebeest is over three meters. They can adapt to grasslands and mountains, and have extremely strong impact power. They can easily run long distances wearing heavy armor!

Wildebeests' extraordinary gravity-bearing capacity makes them the best heavy cavalry mounts!
It took Norman a lot of effort to tame them.

The moment they appeared on the battlefield as super mounts, the grassland tribes that had been competing with the Black Kingdom on the grassland and even attacked the capital of the Black Kingdom were overwhelmed by a wave of black thunder!
After that battle, the vast grassland of about 10 million square kilometers became the racecourse and pasture of the Black Kingdom!

And at this moment,
Under the resonance of blood magic and the blood of the Sons of the Night, these wildebeests were strengthened.

Their body size did not change, but they grew fangs and underwent certain changes.

The most obvious thing is that their aura has become darker and has taken on some characteristics of blood slaves.

"charge!"

"Smash them!!"

Norman yelled, and Caitlin beside him also responded loudly.

The voice of the Ancestor of Darkness was like thunder, exploding fiercely in the ears of every person still alive in the country of Earl Golden Sunflower in front.

And Caitlin's voice followed closely, ringing in the ears of those nobles.

"This sound is..."

"It seems to be the barbarians from the north?"

"But the world has fallen into darkness. How could they cross that glacier and come to our side?"

"I heard that a member of a branch clan brought news that the Black Kingdom's army has begun to move south."

"It must be fake! Don't pay attention to it, just keep playing!"

The Count of Golden Sunflower laughed, raised the wine glass in his hand, and asked the bard below to continue his performance.

The nobles who were still in the castle were all wearing luxurious clothes, eating wine and meat looted from the people, and were still enjoying themselves in the face of this doomsday disaster.

Of course, you can't expect them to do anything.

After all, it was the feudal era. Except for a few empires further south, these fiefdoms were all made up of noble aristocrats, who were typical remnants of the times and were completely useless.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as the Count of Golden Sunflower was about to continue playing music and dancing, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Then the door opened and the wind and snow took the opportunity to sneak in through the gap.

woohoo-

The fire in the castle flickered, and the Golden Sunflower Earl, who was sitting on it wrapped in a quilt, shuddered subconsciously. When he saw the person coming, his face suddenly darkened.

"Are you trying to freeze me to death? Didn't I tell you not to open the door? How did that rebellious kid in Toronto discipline you?"

The Golden Sunflower Count cursed loudly.

The soldiers on the opposite side are none other than the subordinates of the eldest son of the Golden Sunflower family. They are also the last guards of the castle!

Facing the humiliation from the Golden Sunflower Earl, the soldier simply took a step forward, knelt helplessly, and said in a weak, trembling voice: "The Viscount... has died!"

"The Black Kingdom's cavalry broke through our city walls and rushed into the city. The Viscount put up a desperate resistance, but was... "

Bang!

The wine glass in the hand of Earl Golden Sunflower fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"You, what did you say? My son, dead, dead?"

"My son is dead..."

The Golden Sunflower Count slumped on the throne, his eyes blank.

The other nobles standing by reacted at this moment and realized the horror of the matter!
The Black Kingdom's cavalry is attacking the city! And they've already entered the city!

"Boom!" In the city, the black torrent has broken through all the defenses of Golden Sunflower City.

The city walls that the Earldom of Sunflower was so proud of were no different from paper-made ones in front of Norman.

The general guarding the city, Viscount Toronto, the only famous general of the Earldom of Sunflower, was captured by Norman after the first charge.

He was unwilling to surrender, but because of his past achievements and his loyalty, Norman gave him an intact body and promised to let his soul rest in peace.

Then Norman led his cavalry straight to the castle and the palace.

There were no obstacles along the way. After Toronto's death, none of the soldiers who had long been dissatisfied with Earl of Sunflower would die for him again.

It was not until Norman arrived in front of the palace that those nobles, who had indulged in sensual pleasures, pushed open the door with great effort and tried to escape.

But because Norman had already arrived, their action was more like surrender...

Norman stepped forward with his sword in hand and pushed away a noble who was trying to escape.

"boom!"

At the moment of contact, the noble exploded and turned into bloody mist.

The rest of the nobles were so frightened that they dared not move even a bit.

"Watch them."

"Here!"

Norman strode forward with Caitlin and several guards and soon reached the inner hall.

The entire hall was in great chaos. The smell of wine, feces, and a mixture of a strange and decadent smell constantly stung people's nerves.

Norman frowned, and the blood on the ground condensed, turning into bloody hands that scattered and opened all the windows of the castle.

There was no one in the hall, only the Earl of Golden Sunflower was still sitting in his seat.

The guard went forward to check, then turned to Norman and said, "Your Majesty, Earl of Sunflower is dead."

"Really? For the sake of his son, let this tyrant have his body intact. As for these nobles, find the people still alive in the city and ask them whether they have committed any crime. If they have, punish them accordingly. All the survivors can do some work to atone for their crimes."

"As ordered!"

The guards carried away the body of Earl of Golden Sunflower and buried him with his son.

Norman looked at the place, then chose a clean place to sit down, opened the map and began to choose the next target.

"You are still as kind as ever." Caitlin stood beside Norman. "If it were me, I would kill them all and not give them any chance."

"We've killed enough people, and now the most important thing is population. We need more people."

After Norman finished speaking, he called Caitlin to come closer, and the two discussed the next direction of advance together.

This planet is too big. According to Norman’s own estimation, even if they were to continue their expedition without stopping, it would still take them about twenty years to conquer the entire globe!

This time span is a bit too long...

Rumble!
"what happened?"

Norman heard the voice and looked up to ask outside.

"Your Majesty! It's bad! A monster has appeared!"

"How many?"

"three!"

"Assemble the entire army!"

Norman's face changed when he heard this, and he instantly turned into a bat, flew into the sky, and then landed on the top of the castle.

When he looked, he saw countless cracks on the river surface and grass not far from the castle.

Two huge monsters stood at the edge of the castle, roaring at the soldiers inside.

At the same time, they rushed into the city swiftly, and the city wall was destroyed in an instant!

Two Tyrannosaurus Rex-like monsters began to march into the city, crushing large areas of houses and eating the residents who fled from the ground.

And in the river, a bigger monster was spraying icicles towards the sky. When those icicles fell and hit the castle, their power was as strong as a bomb!
The capital of the Golden Sunflower Earldom, which had been run by four generations, was mostly destroyed in an instant!

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the monster's destructive power!
