Danny was still inside the Pridival Pyramid when the battle in his territory started.
He chuckled lightly when he received the first report about the happenings in his territory. anwhile, the worries of possible issues dispersed in the wind.
Even if the other Lords had been rather problematic in the past, he didn't expect that they would fall prey to their own greed – and so easily at that.
After the first report of the battle in his territory reached him, Danny first carefully listened to the information relayed by the Desert Assassins. The pieces of information forwarded were quite important as they included the fact that the Assassins had collected the Summoning Cores installed in the three Summoning Gates.
Daniel waited patiently until the Desert Assassins returned with the Summoning Cores. Only then did he leave the Pridival Pyramid to return to his destroyed territory.
He may not be able to rescue his territory at this point, but Daniel Fang could annihilate the three forr Lords and the remains of their crushed armies.
The three armies should be in a weakened state by now. Their numbers had already dwindled after the battle against the Undead of the Desert, and it was quite obvious that the warfare against each other would wear them down even further. anwhile, Danny's army had received sufficient ti to rest.
Instead of being tired of fighting, they were bored and eager to fight. Their desire to annihilate the other Lords was at its peak, and they cheered loudly upon hearing the news that they were about to kill them all today. At last, they were about to beco the ruling power of the Sacred Desert's hidden region!
That was more than enough reason to be overjoyed and return to their destroyed territory with high spirits. Nobody even thought about betraying Danny. To them, he was their Lord whether he had a Link of Loyalty with his subjects or not. Danny was a true Lord who was strong, trustworthy, a pillar of support for everyone in need of help, and one of the most sincere people most of the Summons had ever seen in their two lifetis.
When Danny reunited with his army, and the three Desert Assassin Units, he was quite satisfied. He received a total of 11 Summoning Cores, which the Desert Assassins had retrieved from the three Summoning Gates. With that amount, and the Summoning Cores left in his destroyed Summoning Gate, Danny was certain that he could upgrade his Basic Summoning Gate to the Interdiate grade once he reconstructed it.
That might take so ti, but ti was not an issue anymore once the three forr Lords and their utterly exhausted armies had been taken care of properly.
Danny felt exceptionally confident while leading his army to his destroyed territory, feeling ready to go all-out one more ti before everything was over. It hurt a little bit seeing that everything he had worked for had been destroyed when they returned to the territory, but Danny cald down after reminding himself that all that mattered was the safety of his subjects.
The rest could be rebuilt even if it might take a while.
While passing through the large settlent inside his territory, Danny and his people found countless corpses. The number of corpses, blood, intestines, and other body parts spread out on the ground kept on increasing steadily as they approached the heart of the battlefield.
Less than 20,000 Summons and Awakened were left, fighting desperately for their survival, and with the desire to kill those who had caused them to suffer the most. The Drakna, Glorack and Petra people never thought of being friends with the other races. They had been forced to obey their Lord's commands to ensure that their scheming against Danny worked out. However, that didn't an the three armies of the forr Lords had forgotten about the incidents of the past.
They had been fighting for decades. It was impossible for them to beco friends and live side by side all of a sudden. Only one of them was allowed to survive!
Even though the forr Lords had been planning to hold a final battle once the human Lord had been killed, and after they conquered the Pridival Pyramid, their subjects didn't want to wait for that long. Their hatred had reached its peak that didn't allow them to let their Lords take their own sweet ti anymore.
The Summons didn't care about the benefits of the Pridival Pyramid anymore. All they wanted was to kill their enemies and survive until the very end.
But what they forgot in the heat of the mont was an important factor- There were not only three races left in the hidden area of the Sacred Desert!
When Danny and his disciplined army reached the heart of the battlefield, they encountered a small group of less than 20,000 enemies. The Summons and Awakened were completely exhausted and most of them had sustained more or less serious injuries. As for their battle formation… It didn't look like anyone was still using battle strategies at this point. The mbers of the three races were spread across the battlefield in a wild manner, and there were no indicators of tactics being used.
On the contrary, Danny and his people were still one big unit. They joined the battle, using the tactics they had practiced and executed over a long period. Working together, and listening to the commands of their trusted Lord, it was only a matter of ti before their worn-out enemies were bulldozed.
The three forr Lords had been trying to stop the battle from the mont all of it began. All of them wanted to see their enemies dead, but it was also quite obvious that the timing of the final battle was the worst. Out of four armies, three were at the sa spot, creating an unbalanced fight in which three tired armies were bound to end up on the losing side. But the forr Lords were not in control of their people anymore. They could only watch the blood battle in the first few minutes, trying their utmost to end it all before they decided that it was impossible.
Only when the realization struck them did the three forr Lords understand that there was only one way out of this situation- as long as their enemies were defeated before the human Lord returned everything would be fine.
It was not a good plan but the three forr Lords began to fight each other. Their trump cards were revealed and utilized in the hope to kill the other Lords quickly in order to change the tide of the battle, but it was all for naught.
By the ti Danny arrived on the battlefield, the three Lords were lethally wounded. None of them could escape the trump cards of the other, creating a devastating situation on the battlefield that injured everyone.
The situation was far better than expected for Danny, which ant that it was the worst possible outco for the three forr Lords.
Of course, Danny didn't care about their misery. He enjoyed it quite a bit, in fact.
He watched as the terror unfolded in front of the eyes of the forr Lords. There was no sign of their usual arrogant and aloof attitude.
"I can sll your fear even from this distance," He said, chuckling lightly as the three forr Lords stopped mid-battle.
Their gazes flicked to Danny in surprise and the surprise quickly turned into shock when they registered that he was unscathed and brimming with energy. He walked through the rows of overly exhausted warriors, creating dozens of small Qi Swords which he released whenever one of the tired warriors charged at him blinded by rage.
His attack looked eerily simple. Daniel rely released a Qi Sword, which pierced through the neck or chest of the charging warriors, killing them with a single strike. His attention didn't even move to the warriors he killed.
Daniel continued to charge forward while killing dozens of enemies. He allowed the Lamia Queen and his other trustworthy subordinates to be in charge of command after he had issued the first few orders. His mission was to deal with the remaining powerhouses and to kill the Lords once and for all.
As for his subordinates, they were tasked with ensuring their survival while pressing against their enemies, pushing them to the limit, and striking them with great force whenever an opening appeared.
"You bastard!! You betrayed us!!!" The forr Lord of the Drakna roared loudly. He coughed up blood instead of spitting out blazing flas, which was enough for a small smile to blossom on Daniel's lips.
"Seems like dying turned you into a Jokester. Don't you think you're being really funny right now?" Danny asked, releasing a dozen Qi Swords toward the Drakna.
He didn't care whether the attack would kill the Drakna or not. Daniel just wanted to put more pressure on his enemies for the ti being.
What he didn't expect to see was that his Qi Swords were too fast for the half-dead Drakna Lord to evade. The Drakna could rely block two Qi Swords while the rest pierced through his vital points. His left arm was cut off and his kneecaps shattered as the Qi Swords pierced through them, forcing the Drakna to the ground.
"Does it really matter who betrayed whom? At the end of the day, your death rely ans that you didn't prepare thoroughly for the worst-case scenario. anwhile, my victory shows clearly that you guys are brickheads without actual brains. Though that makes wonder how it was possible for to take so long to defeat the three of you, I am perfectly fine with that," Daniel added with a shrug.
Even if he betrayed the other Lords it wouldn't really matter.
In war, the only thing that mattered was to win and survive, no matter how!
"You can question your actions in your next life. Maybe you will enjoy becoming a tyrant's Summon soon enough," Danny further taunted before his expression turned ice cold.
Dozens of arm-long Qi Swords manifested all around him, pointing at the forr Lords with deadly intent.
"Now…die for !"
The Qi Swords cut through the air, drawing blood, and reaping souls.
