Chapter 488 488: Want to Capture (Seeking Subscription)
Around the battlefield, tightly protected in the center, Sifuer observed the development of the battle while listening to the reports of the messenger in front of her. One good news after another came, dispelling the pre-battle tension and replacing it with extreme excitement for the impending victory.
Watching as the armed forces on the periphery were gradually cleared under Kodwen's leadership, leaving only the enemy's main contingents and a few surviving Sleepers and Monitors on the battlefield, the smile on Sifuer's face grew more prominent. She tapped the horse's belly lightly with her heel, stepped forward, came beside the messenger, and lowered her head, laughing, "So you say Leohard has ended the battle with Mr. Shitang's assistance! How are they doing?"
"Yes, sir. Captain Leohard, with Mr. Shitang's aid, has completely annihilated the pursuing enemy from the Bull Territory. However, the Knight Order suffered over half casualties from the ongoing battles. Captain Leohard reports that after clearing the battlefield and a brief rest, they will be ready to engage in combat again," the messenger responded respectfully, kneeling on one knee.
Sifuer first knocked on her forehead. Over half lost? Hearing this news, her heart couldn't help but ache. This was one of her elite units. The Bull Territory, which was divided into two as the feint, couldn't provide much force but needed to put enough pressure on the opponent to lure more reinforcements from the bottom of Napas Valley into their trap. To achieve this effect, she could only deploy the Thorny Flower Knight Order.
"I made it hard for them!" Thinking of this, Sifuer sighed and commanded with a wave of her hand, "Send my orders to Leohard; they did very well. After they finish clearing the battlefield, they don't need to rush to join the battle. They can rest in the dense forest. I will send someone to deliver orders if necessary!"
Seeing the messenger turn and leave after receiving her orders, Sifuer looked up at the sky and murmured, "Our reinforcements have already arrived!"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Before her words fell, a spine-chilling loud noise echoed throughout the sky above the battlefield. With that, Monitors with bleeding from their mouths and noses fell from the sky like dumplings, and a metallic figure flew from afar to Sifuer's side.
"Mr. Shitang! No, Lord Shitang! You kept your promise and brought us a grand victory!" Facing Pei Yan, who was hovering in front of her, Sifuer bent down on her horse and saluted.
"Isn't it too soon to say this? The battle is still ongoing, and we haven't entirely won yet, have we?" Pei Yan replied, smiling, as he casually fired an electromagnetic cannon, shooting down a Monitor that was trying to fly into the sky again.
"Then please, Lord Shitang, lead us to a perfect victory!" Sifuer straightened her back and said in a deep voice, "Transmit my order: all Demon Race soldiers under Kataraga are to follow the command of Lord Shitang!"
"Yes!"
"Forget it, I won't overstep; your troops should still be commanded by you. I can assist, but now I have a new request!"
"Go ahead, we will try our best to fulfill it!" Sifuer's heart tightened, but she still maintained a bright smile on her face.
"I need a few prisoners, alive! Armored Warrior, Disaster Spreader, Slave Master, and Broodmother." Saying this, he glanced back at those towering Sleepers, judged that the Broodmother was large enough, and crossed it off his list. Then he continued, "I mentioned this to Leohard, but he said it requires the assistance of your Demon Race Warlocks. This is crucial for our subsequent operations, and I hope you can support us."
Sifuer, who thought that after the battle Pei Yan would make an exorbitant demand, was relieved to hear this request and immediately said, "No problem, we will definitely fully assist you in capturing the enemy. Mr. Shitang, I want to remind you that we have tried capturing them as well, but these guys are very stubborn and their minds have been altered. We've tried many methods, but it's hard to gain any useful information from their minds. I think...." Sifuer didn't continue, but Pei Yan understood her implying: if the Demon Race couldn't extract information, then it was even more unlikely for the energy-poor Keystone Plane.
Hearing this, Pei Yan's lips curled into a slight cold smile. They weren't on the same track of thought at all, but Sifuer's words reminded him. After a moment of reflection, Pei Yan said, "I understand, but it's important that they're alive! Capture them alive if possible! And don't damage the bodies of dead enemies. Collect complete corpses as much as possible. I'll take as many as you can give!"
"Corpses?" Sifuer slightly frowned. Are they interested in the bodies of the Disaster Legion? Uh? It's possible. Considering the situation up to now, even though the energy is relatively thin for cultivation, the Keystone Plane has developed its own unique path in alchemy and so-called technology, perhaps they might make some breakthrough in this regard!
With this thought, Sifuer immediately agreed to Pei Yan's request. As she commanded her subordinates to handle the matters, Pei Yan had already flown into the sky and headed towards the main battlefield.
He glanced at the few scattered Sleepers in the distance, who were currently being attacked and torn apart repeatedly by demon crocodiles summoned by the Demon Race. Without needing to intervene, they were already on the brink of collapse, so he shifted his attention to the Armored Warriors, which intrigued him greatly.
Without using any long-range fire suppression, Pei Yan landed straight in the midst of the Demon Race's encirclement. A lightsaber appeared in his hand; he wanted to practically experience these guys' combat power to gather data to send back to the present world.
The lightsaber buzzed as it clashed downward with the Longsword wielded by an Armored Warrior. Where the two swords met, red smoke billowed. Surprisingly, the enemy's weapon didn't break in two as expected; instead, their Longsword slowly melted.
After exchanging moves, the opponent quickly withdrew his Longsword. Under Pei Yan's watch, the molten gap in his Longsword was rapidly filled and solidified by a scarlet liquid. In no time, an intact Longsword was once again wielded by the Armored Warrior, chopping upward.
Feeling the immense force transmitted to his arm, Pei Yan's body sank slightly! Quite powerful, akin to the force Shitang Longsi initially exerted when fused. This strength wasn't intimidating to Pei Yan, but if it were one of the usual investigators, they might suffer a great deal.
With his Longsword intercepting the Armored Warrior's Longsword, Pei Yan's left hand slightly raised and fired an electromagnetic cannon at the opponent's chest armor. The immense impact knocked him backward and, after colliding with two or three comrades, he managed to use his hand for support and shakily brandished his Longsword to charge forward again.
Oh! Watching the cracked and broken chest and the plasma slowly seeping from within, Pei Yan frowned slightly, this defense power is quite good?
