Using Wood as a Sword

Chapter 496 The Front Opens! The Confident Kanna Shrine Maiden!

"What is that over there!"

At this moment, Kel'Thuzad, who was busy plotting how to trick his teammates, suddenly exclaimed.

As his surprise grew, An Ruo, Musalo, and Dracula also turned their gazes.

Then, they saw an army, so vast and dark it seemed boundless.

"Are they insane, still daring to charge out!"

"Do these humans actually believe their combat power is truly strong, and ours is truly weak?"

Musalo couldn't help but curl his lips.

Dracula chuckled:

"It seems they mistook our early 'going easy' for their own victory..."

"Or perhaps, in that black mist earlier, they mistakenly thought we were more corrupted."

"I must say, these humans have quite a vivid imagination."

"Now I'm truly eager to see their faces when they learn our true strength!"

With that said, the four異族 heroes burst into laughter as if they had gone mad.

It was evident they were in a state of utter delirium.

However, this was also understandable.

After all, the Nagasaki Fortress, after losing its mechanical equipment, had displayed very weak combat power – at least in their eyes.

Therefore, facing this sudden assault team, they naturally paid them no mind.

"Speaking logically, the soldiers chosen by the fortress commander to launch this raid must be the cream of their crop."

"This means, if we can manage to take down this group of elites, we'll cripple this fortress!"

"Then, attacking this iron turtle of a fortress will be much easier..."

An Ruo pointed at the undead legion in the air, stretching leisurely.

Kel'Thuzad strongly agreed with An Ruo's suggestion, his skeletal frame trembling with nods.

"Exactly! So, when we greet this vanguard, it's best to achieve complete annihilation!"

"This way, not only will the fortress lose a large number of fresh troops, but it will also be thrown into chaos..."

"We might even achieve victory without a fight!"

Hearing them speak, Dracula and Musalo's eyes lit up.

This was indeed a very reliable plan, and it would likely put a temporary halt to the conflicts among them.

Once this force was eliminated, regardless of the outcome, they would significantly reduce their losses during the siege battle...

Then, there would be no need to argue about who was holding back!

However, Dracula suddenly seemed to recall something and shouted loudly:

"But I must make one thing clear beforehand!"

"Let's let bygones be bygones regarding our previous pretense and games..."

"But this operation targeting the fortress raid force must be undertaken with our full effort!"

"After all, it's about reducing losses for our subsequent actions, something that benefits us all. Let's not slack off again and cause further conflict!"

Saying this, Dracula glanced at Kel'Thuzad, then at An Ruo and Musalo, signaling for their agreement.

These three understood that under the current circumstances, continuing to hold back would lead to greater losses, and might even shatter the already fragile alliance. They all nodded in agreement.

After receiving their assent, Dracula chuckled again and turned his gaze back to the undead legion.

With a swish!

Led by Kannai Gusji himself, the undead legion advanced with remarkable speed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived before the four異族 heroes.

At this moment, Kannai Gusji was brimming with confidence.

Deeply aware of the terrifying power of the undead legion, he was extremely confident in his troops. Furthermore, having received infusion from his master within the jade pendant, his strength had reached the peak his current body could contain...

With his master still providing continuous support from within the jade pendant, and more trump cards in his storage space, he felt confident in directly confronting these heroes!

"Heh! Ignorant barbarians, to trespass upon my Cherry Blossom land!"

"Today, I shall make you truly understand why this will be the most foolish decision of your lives!"

Rarely getting such a chance to shine in front of so many people, Kannai Gusji seemed to cherish this opportunity immensely.

Without even waiting to stabilize himself from the inertia of his high-speed movement, he took the initiative to deliver his boastful words.

However, his words were met with explosive laughter from the four異族 heroes.

An Ruo was the first to mock him:

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

"What an ignorant brat! Do you know what the halos beneath our feet represent?"

"If you don't, then go home and ask your mother who breastfed you..."

"To charge out with a horde of ghostly figures in black armor, not realizing you're here to die!"

Dracula followed suit:

"Tsk tsk..."

"I truly don't know where you, a weakling who needs to borrow strength from others, get the audacity to stand at the front and mock us?"

"And to act so arrogant, spewing nonsense? Do you really think we don't see what kind of trash you are?"

"Without the help of that soul entity beside you, you probably couldn't even fly, could you?"

Musalo was so amused he almost cried:

"Who the hell are you? And you say we're trespassing on your Cherry Blossom land?"

"Setting aside what connection this Cherry Blossom country has to you, even if it were truly yours, it would only be a petty, insignificant nation..."

"Don't you people always have to look to your adoptive father, the Lighthouse Country, for guidance?"

"Why didn't you ask them before coming out to meet us this time?"

Kel'Thuzad's laughter, though not as exaggerated as Musalo's, combined with the characteristic rattling of his bones, was enough to make one's head explode.

"It can only be said that the more ignorant one is, the more confident they become..."

"It seems the things you've brought along are not unlike the undead, are they?"

"Heh, to show off in front of me, a master with extensive research in necromancy, puppetry, and soul binding, is simply laughable to the extreme!"

"Trash like you, honestly, after I kill you, I won't even bother messing with you..."

"But don't be too disheartened, I've already arranged a rather decent fate for you."

"For example, turning you into a puppet with only your consciousness remaining, to serve as a human urinal for my experimental subjects?"
