Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3157: Chapter 112: First Kill! Taoist Master Level

...

At the same time.

Destroyer Devil Territory.

In the area temporarily under the control of Great Commander Fallen.

Thanks to the mediation of the Queen of Pain, in recent years Great Commander Apocalypse and Great Commander Fallen have stopped fighting; the Demonic Army on the front lines no longer treat each other as enemies, and have instead gained plenty of time to rest and recuperate.

However, that doesn’t mean the Demonic Realm has completely quieted down.

In recent years, a large army called the [Army of Ten Thousand Victories] has been roaming everywhere in grand fashion. Wherever they go, they somehow win the ”support” of many mid- and low-level members of the Demonic Clan—no one quite knows how the Army of Ten Thousand Victories brainwashes and ”incites” the demonic underclass.

As soon as the Army of Ten Thousand Victories moves on, the mid- and low-level Demonic Clan start banding together to rebel against the Lords appointed by Great Commander Fallen.

And when those Lords begin suppressing the mid- and low-level Demonic Clan, the Army of Ten Thousand Victories’ units suddenly return, attacking those Lords under the banner of liberating their enslaved demonic brethren.

How could those Demonic Clan Lords possibly be a match for the Army of Ten Thousand Victories?

The moment they clash, the Lords are smashed and scattered by a single blow, fleeing in all directions.

Then, as a matter of course, the Army of Ten Thousand Victories establishes a State House–prefecture–county system in the local area, abolishes the demon slave system, and places all kinds of resources and Demonic Clan under unified management and distribution, implementing a demonic household registration system and allocation of land resources.

Because of this, the mid- and low-level Demonic Clan are moved to tears in their gratitude toward the Army of Ten Thousand Victories, causing its prestige in the Demonic Realm to skyrocket at an astonishing pace.

And the fame of the Army of Ten Thousand Victories’ military leader, Wang Ying Xuan, has also been rising higher and higher.

The Army of Ten Thousand Victories’ Void fortress–class flagship is spherical in shape, a typical Demon Lord–class mobile war palace, publicly known as the [Yuxuan Palace].

At this moment.

The [Yuxuan Palace] is racing along a broad Tianhe, followed by several Demon Lord war palaces, as well as hundreds of Demonic Clan Void Ferries of all sizes, majestically advancing toward the next Star Cluster of worlds.

Inside the Yuxuan Palace, Wang Ying Xuan is standing before a crystal-clear porthole, gazing from afar at the faintly visible Star Cluster out in the Void Sea.

Each Star Cluster is a ”world” in the Void Sea, either suitable for the growth and reproduction of life, or capable of being mined for various materials and Heaven and Earth Treasure.

So-called war is waged over the right to own each of these worlds.

And the Tianhe that crisscross the Void are like transportation arteries, linking these worlds together.

It’s like this on the Destroyer Devil Territory’s side, and it’s actually the same on the human side.

Some strategic locations are either production centers for important materials, or they sit at critical choke points on the Tianhe; it is precisely for these reasons that they become must-fight-over zones in war.

Compared to back when she was with the Barbarian Giant Tribe Alliance, Wang Ying Xuan’s appearance hasn’t changed much, but the aura on her body has grown ever more profound. Just standing there, the killing intent radiating off her is enough to chill the bones, giving her more and more the bearing of a battlefield Martial Goddess.

Now, with her hands clasped behind her back before the porthole, several powerful Barbarian Giant bodyguards stand around her, making her look even more like she has the realm in her grasp and is riding high on her ambitions.

Back then, by ”helping” Great Commander Apocalypse return as king, Wang Ying Xuan took control of quite a bit of military authority. Later, in the course of fighting Great Commander Fallen, she racked up victory after brilliant victory, making her Army of Ten Thousand Victories stronger with every battle.

After so many years, the military power in her hands is now nothing like it used to be.

At present, the main configuration of the Army of Ten Thousand Victories’ forces is roughly as follows.

Blood Dove Demon Lord, formerly under Great Commander Apocalypse, now serves as deputy military leader of the Army of Ten Thousand Victories and concurrently as Legion Leader of the Blood Dove Legion.

When Blood Dove Demon Lord was first shoved under Wang Ying Xuan’s command by Great Commander Apocalypse, his heart was ten thousand times unwilling.

He, a dignified Level Sixteen Demon Lord, actually had to obey orders from a little girl of the Human race? How was that even possible?

But as one exhilarating victory followed another, while his face was getting slapped again and again, Blood Dove Demon Lord went through a whole series of complex changes inside.

By now, he has become a fanatical worshipper of Wang Ying Xuan.

Back when he was a vassal under Great Commander Apocalypse, when did he ever get to be this glorious?

Moreover, Wang Ying Xuan really knows her stuff when it comes to running an army. Under strict military discipline, she always treats all races equally—rewarding merit and punishing faults—and she’s downright magnanimous when it comes to distributing spoils.

At first, Blood Dove Demon Lord was actually very unused to this. After all, in the Demonic Clan it’s always the upper echelon that decides everything; notions like treating everyone equally basically don’t exist. But after victory upon victory, the Merit Points he accumulated brought him endless benefits, and he gradually came to feel the appeal of this system of rewards and punishments.

Slowly, his respect and worship for Consort Xuan grew deeper and deeper.

Blood Dove Demon Lord often sighs in secret: if only Consort Xuan could truly become one of the Demonic Clan, he would absolutely devote himself to her unto death. As for Great Commander Apocalypse... sigh, compared to Consort Xuan, he falls far too short.

Besides the Blood Dove Legion, Wang Ying Xuan also has a human legion under her command.

Back when she rescued Yao Changsheng and the remnants of the Eighth Corps at Blackwave Fortress, Wang Ying Xuan incorporated them into the Army of Ten Thousand Victories.

However, Yao Changsheng was unwilling to disband the Eighth Corps’ formation, saying that once he repaid his favor to Yuxuan, he would return to the Dongxia Army; therefore, they continued using the designation ”Eighth Corps.”

In the wars that followed, the Army of Ten Thousand Victories never stopped rescuing human prisoners of war. Over these years, they’ve saved quite a few, and gradually the Eighth Corps not only returned to full strength, but even had a surplus.

Throughout this process, one victory after another built up powerful confidence and morale within the Eighth Corps, and they also gradually grew accustomed to Wang Ying Xuan’s leadership.
