Tauren Overlord

Selron's reputation had reached its peak in the war to annihilate the Taimenia 30 years ago, so there was no way he could lose.

Some imperial generals were already disappointed with the Tauren Overlord, and had concluded in advance that he would be like previous challengers and would not be able to hurt Selron in the slightest.

This also means that Selron will always be the field marshal above them, while these generals who are suppressed below will never be able to make a breakthrough.

But some imperial generals still held on to the faintest hope and secretly uttered the most vicious curses against their marshal.

If the Tauren Overlord wins, they can compete to become the new Field Marshal.

The answer to all this depends on the contest between Selron and Lu Heng.

At this moment, both sides of the decisive battle stood on the city wall, dozens of meters apart from each other.

Selron, who is extremely experienced in combat, has realized that since both sides have the ability to move quickly, the battle can easily fall into an endless pursuit and escape stalemate.

Only by taking advantage of the opponent's momentary negligence can you secure victory.

So instead of chasing the Tauren Overlord directly, Selron stretched out his arm and hooked his index finger inward.

This was obviously a very effective provocation to the Minotaur.

Even the demons of the empire have long heard that the minotaurs care too much about honor and would never have any strategic determination.

Just as Selron had expected, Lu Heng threw out his spear.

At the moment when the spear was about to touch Selron, the Demon Marshal once again turned into a ball of fire and appeared a few meters away.

How could the Lock Gun give up its target?

It turned directly in mid-air and stabbed at Selron again, followed by Selron's repeated jumps several times.

Only the most careful Aurelia and a few imperial generals noticed the key differences in Serlon's jumps.

How come he just jumped and the Death Scythe disappeared?

The legendary weapon Death Scythe is so powerful that it is not only extremely sharp, but can also participate in the fire jump with Selron.

But at the last moment when the flame of Searlung jumped, it suddenly disappeared. This was certainly not a disappearance out of thin air, but...

Above the head of the Tauren Overlord!

As early as when Selron attacked Aurelia, his target was not the Golden Dragon Queen, but the Tauren Overlord who was likely to come to the rescue.

At that time, he deliberately observed how long the enemy's portal would take to open.

He soon came to the conclusion that it would take at least two seconds for the Minotaur Overlord to open the portal and enter or exit.

This is the key to Selron’s victory!

His flame jump did not require these fatal two seconds.

So he seemed to be avoiding the lock gun, but in an instant he jumped over the head of the Minotaur Lord and smashed the scythe of death down fiercely.

After throwing the Scythe of Death, he instantly moved to the nearby position before the raid and continued to play hide-and-seek with the Lock Gun.

As long as the Minotaur Overlord did not immediately pay attention to the threat above his head and continued to focus his energy on the Locking Spear, Selron would win.

Aurelia also saw this extremely dangerous moment!

She immediately opened her mouth to warn him, but before she could say anything, it turned into a sharp cry.

She saw that Selron's scythe of death was splitting the seemingly solid body of the Minotaur Lord straight from the head at an extremely fast speed.

That shining golden armor didn't help at all!

Perhaps it's not because its defensive capabilities are too weak, but because the Death Scythe is too sharp and no armor can offer any meaningful resistance.

The outcome seemed to be decided at this moment, but Selron was still moving.

He turned into a ball of fire again, instantly took back the Death Scythe, and jumped out of the city wall again and again.

This is obviously to prevent the Minotaur Overlord from opening a secret portal above his head and dropping a rune bomb before dying.

As long as Selron could win completely, he didn't even intend to give the Minotaur a chance to die together with him.

The nearby defenders in Cat-Ear Glade City also realized at this moment that the Minotaur Overlord had fallen after just a few blows!

The only person in the world who could fight against Selron finally lost the battle.

Now that the commander is dead and the city walls have been breached, what hope is there for the remaining defenders?

The war has been decided, and the Empire has won everything!

All efforts to oppose the Empire proved pitifully futile.

The hopes of some imperial generals were dashed once again. Perhaps they would have to obey Marshal Selron's command forever...

But just when everything seemed to be settled, Selron was suddenly wrapped tightly in a green light and then disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly realized that he had come to a dark space - under the bed.

His intuition from years of war told him that this was a very unexpected and dangerous situation and he had to evacuate immediately!

His situation was indeed dangerous, because Lu Heng thoughtfully opened a portal for him under the bed.

As long as Selron continues to free fall, he can easily get started.

Until this moment, it seemed that Selron still had a chance to escape.

He can still turn into fire and jump to anywhere he can see.

But at this moment, his thinking became extremely slow.

Any meaningful thinking was extremely difficult, as if time had frozen into ice at this moment.

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [盖了帽了] for the coin ww

327. There is no limit to intelligence

The reason why Selron was as dazed as a statue without a soul was naturally because the water control master Lu Heng had influenced him.

As the imperial marshal's brain stopped flowing, his mind was naturally shrouded in a thick haze.

It was this fatal delay that made him forget that he still had the life-saving skill of fire jumping.

Until the last moment of his life, his mind was blank.

All his memories and thoughts were taken away, and he could only fall into the equally endless and empty death space in the portal with endless nothingness.

……

The sky of Cat-Eared Glade has been covered with a layer of orange-red gauze by the sinking sun.

It was also under this setting sun that a touch of purple glow appeared on the city wall again.

Whether it was the generals of the empire or the soldiers in the city of Cat-Eared Glade, they all opened their eyes wide, because another portal was opened on the city wall.

The Minotaur Overlord once again wore armor that shone with golden light, causing people on both sides to suffer from brain crashes!

The eyes of the imperial generals also glowed with disbelief. They couldn't help but think:

"How is this possible? Didn't the minotaur just die?"

But their eyes let them see this indisputable fact clearly!

Then came another question that made them both excited and terrified:

What about Marshal Selron? Did Marshal Selron, who had never failed, also fail?

If Selron really lost, then wouldn’t the strength of this minotaur be even greater than Selron’s?

When they thought of this possibility... no! The inevitability, a deep fear was aroused in the hearts of the imperial generals!

This completely crushed their joy of having the chance to be promoted, and their faces turned pale in an instant, leaving only a look of shock and confusion...

The remaining imperial imps only felt even greater fear, and the blood on their faces was almost drained away!

Aurelia's heart was beating wildly in her chest.

She could never have imagined that her man seemed to have died in front of her, but miraculously resurrected.

For a moment, Aurelia's emotions were like bungee jumping. She had just fallen to the bottom, but in the next instant she soared straight into the sky!

We only have one life, and that's true for normal people.

But for Lu Heng, who could secretly create a small account as a substitute to take the blame for himself, that was a completely different matter.

Selron did split his trumpet - he was indeed the most accomplished of Lu Heng's enemies, but so what?

Lu Heng was still in the form of a tauren, and he looked extremely alive in Aurelia and in front of everyone.

His golden armor didn't have much defensive power, but it was dazzling enough to better boost the morale of the defenders after victory.

It took a long time for the guardians of Cat-Eared Glade to gradually recover from their extreme shock.

They finally realized that their commander had won the decisive battle!

But the shock that struck their souls still continued to echo in their hearts...

Now, the pressure finally came to the Empire.

They were the ones to be beheaded.

No imperial general could have truly guessed that it was their Marshal Selron who disappeared on the battlefield this time.

Likewise, no imperial general knew who would command them after Selron was gone.

Their chain of command is like a thriving tree, seemingly indestructible, but once uprooted, neither the branches nor the leaves can survive.

If it is a relatively normal military system, arrangements will usually be made regarding successors to avoid a sudden break in the chain of command.

But in the Imperial Army's command system, Selron has always been regarded as an invincible marshal who will never die in battle.

Any arrangements regarding "after Selron's death" were considered meaningless.

This resulted in the entire Imperial Army being completely unprepared for Selron's disappearance and even death.

How are they going to capture Cat-Eared Glade next?

There is absolutely no consensus on this.

At this moment, there was no need to reopen the magic defense barrier that Cat-Eared Glade had already closed.

Because the Serlon they were mainly defending against no longer existed.

Aurelia, who had been tightly protected by the magic defense barrier, was not afraid of the decapitation operation by the Empire and could attack freely.

The part of the city wall that was previously torn open by the fierce demon also became her main target of defense.

At this moment, on the surface, the empire still holds an absolute advantage.

No matter how powerful the Golden Dragon Queen's blue dragon breath is, it is still limited by her performance and psychic power limit.

Even if she discovered and attacked the remaining demons, she might not be able to wipe them all out before the city fell.

However, the fierce demon at the front and the accompanying imperial whip-wielder were in a miserable state.

Their magical defense barrier was ineffective against the flames that had already formed.

Aurelia's dragon breath can be controlled remotely, which can completely exceed the protection limit of the magic defense barrier.

Almost immediately, the fierce demon and its accessories that were closest to the gap in the city wall died painfully under the burning of the blue dragon's breath.

At this time, the imperial generals were in a difficult situation - the consequences of the Tauren Overlord killing Marshal Serlon were still continuing to ferment.

In the imperial army, every general has his own direct subordinates who obey his orders.

If he allowed his own direct lineage to charge forward, his most elite forces would be sacrificed, and the other imperial generals would gain an advantage for nothing.

Of course, it would be best if every imperial general thought positively and everyone worked together to attack.

By then, everyone will be able to win this city for the Emperor, and I will most likely be the one to be rewarded...

But what if we think of the worst?

If things go wrong, their own direct descendants might be sacrificed in vain, resulting in the generals having no advantage in the subsequent competition for the marshal position.

Especially the situation where your own direct subordinates charge forward foolishly while other generals are smartly waiting for the opportunity, that is the situation you should never charge forward!
