Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1308 - 385: Shadow of Death

Master Zandi’s spilling of the beans confirmed Liu Zhenhan’s long-held suspicion—Rommel really did have connections with the Demon Clan!

In fact, deep inside, Liu Zhenhan never dared to be certain of this speculation.

Although Rommel’s eyes had shown an obvious change when he himself mentioned the Demon Clan, what did such a change in gaze really signify? Liu Zhenhan often used changes in his own gaze to mislead others.

Pretending that his thoughts were exposed, showing an embarrassed look in his eyes for a moment before trying hard to cover it up, was just the most common way to play mind games with an opponent.

Rommel was no ordinary person, and the more obvious the change in his eyes, the less Liu Zhenhan dared to make careless judgments.

Liu Zhenhan kept this secret close to his heart; had Master Zandi not taken the initiative to confess, Liu Zhenhan would never have told anyone.

Hearing the Undead Mage confess with his own mouth the relationship between Rommel and the Demon Clan, Liu Zhenhan’s hot heart really cooled down to his butt.

The severity of the situation far exceeded Liu Zhenhan’s imagination. Not only were all the Beamon warriors who heard the testimony stunned into foolishness, but even King Sal of Tamerlarya, who remained unflappable in the face of collapse, also drastically changed color.

It turns out that all of Valenbuer on the Aegean Continent had defected to the Demon Clan!

And the Demon Clan’s first military target of their invasion of the Aegean Continent was, unbelievably, the Bimon Kingdom!

Batmen can communicate with each other using ultrasonic waves within a range of ten miles without speaking, an advantage unmatched by other races. All "Awakened" batmen can use this ability to find their kin! Currently, more than four thousand descendants of batmen now settle in the Dorott Duchy, and today’s Dorott Duchy Chancellor, Marquis Capello, is also the current clan leader of the Valenbuer! With the covert help of the Demon Clan, it took the batmen nearly seven hundred years to climb into the ranks of the human nobility, and only then did they achieve a notable success.

Master Zandi’s identity was very unique; he was first the brother of the contemporary Valenbuer clan leader, Capello, the father of Totti and Casano, and secondly, he was a gold medal agent cultivated strenuously by the Demon Clan; pulling Rommel into an alliance with the Demon Clan was one of Master Zandi’s recent tasks!

Liu Zhenhan and Zandi had an irreconcilable hatred due to the killing of a child, as Casano was planted with lotuses in the Sanggan River by the Fierce Jade militia last year. This was also why, upon learning Liu Zhenhan’s identity, Master Zandi didn’t hesitate to offer the top-grade Magical Equipment "Death Lord Bracelet" as bait to try to kill Liu Zhenhan in one fell swoop!

Rommel knew about this too, and he had intentionally sent Master Zandi away for ten days to prevent him from messing up his own plans out of emotions.

Next year would be the time when the dumb moon returned to the Aegean Continent. When the Space-Time Rift would collapse completely due to the violent turmoil of the Elemental Tide, the Demon Clan’s army would rise once again. This was not forgotten by the Wisdom Race of the Aegean Continent, and even less so by the Demon Clan itself. For this reason, the Demon Clan had already started preparing a thousand years ago!

The theoretical lifespan of each Demon Clan member is also exactly one thousand years!

After the invasion of the Aegean Continent failed ten thousand years ago, the Demon Clan also summarized the reasons for their defeat—due to the sudden nature of the early attack and the strength of the Demon Clan’s army, the invading Demon Clan’s army advanced steadily, almost occupying a large area of Aegean territory without resistance. This illusory victory was actually based on the complete unpreparedness of the various Wisdom Races of the Aegean Continent, which was not in line with reality. However, the Demon Clan’s army at the time failed to realize this, becoming overconfident in subsequent battles, dividing their forces in many directions, attacking everywhere, without ever firmly securing a stable and secure foothold, thus being dragged down by the rejuvenated Aegean United Army and defeated one by one.

The Aegean United Army of that time was composed of Beamon, Elves, Goblins, Giants, Dwarves, and freshwater Mermaids. The excessively cruel ethnic extermination policy of the Demon Clan did not win them any allies, nor did it even attempt to do so, which led to the strong Demon Clan’s army being severely burgled from behind by the joint Marine Force of the Beamon Aquatic Race and freshwater Mermaids, completely breaking their logistic supply—alas, the Demon Clan essentially had no race that could form amphibious Marine Forces!

Faced with the broad strategic depth of the Aegean Continent, the Aegean United Marine Force, unopposed by any foe, traversed freely through an intricate network of waterways, now plunging into the water, now coming ashore, waging raid battles, harassment battles, playing them skillfully; composed of Beamon Bay Crocodile warriors, serpent warriors, python warriors, Goblin Clan freshwater shark fighters, Aquatic Race shamans, plus freshwater Mermaid Mages, not only was the joint Marine Force large in number and well-composed, but it was also extremely powerful in battle. This amphibious Marine Force, even on flat ground facing the Demon Clan’s Regular army, was a formidable foe. The Demon Clan’s third-rate Logistic units and supply trains encountering them were like sheep meeting a pack of hungry wolves.

Without secured supplies, no army can possess victory; this is a truth even fools know!

Multiple fronts, lack of a secure base, and the absence of a strong Aquatic Race ally were the biggest reasons the Demon Clan concluded for their failure to conquer the Aegean Continent!

In response to these mistakes committed in the past, the Demon Clan had completed the best attack plan for the invasion of the Aegean Continent five hundred years ago—firstly, to capture a secure base, then to consolidate their forces, and with the utmost caution of a lion hunting a rabbit, to defeat the resistors one by one before completely occupying the Aegean Continent.
