The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary Chapter 1023

Chapter 754 Bat Head, Raven Head

"I assure you they take no prisoners alive and they will make them pay for what they did to Marquis Forneus." Archduke Kiva sent the command for his Bat Bottleflies to be teleported into the safe zone.

"Don't be so sure, Archduke. If they were that easy to kill, the Dragon Devils would have already taken care of them two or maybe threefolds." Stolas argued as he walked behind the Archduke, not willing to take his eyes away from him.

"Say all you want little prince, but don't forget that I am the one which the King favours." The Bat Head Archduke suddenly did something similar to a magical act with the use of his silky red cloak and his head turned into a raven.

Similar to Stolas who had the legs of a raven and an owl head, Kiva was also one of the crossbreeds like King Baal. With the powers of the raven, he was able to see clearly how the Wyvern Goblin Knights were fighting against the Dragon Devils.

After witnessing the Judgement Storm by Keyrin and the annihilation of almost every Dragonlite, the Ravenous Archduke of Hunger hungered to win more praise from his King when he saw how fast those pesky Goblin knights were winning against the Dragon Devils.

"Those mage broadcast images were not too helpful in showing off the enemy, but now… Ho ho ho. Those items on the little wyverns. They look like artefacts that should be retrieved for further research!" Archduke Kiva thought to himself when he had a clearer look at the Wyvern Knights.

"But if we match speed to speed, the Bat Bottleflies will probably lose. I should further buff them to increase their chances too." Kiva said to himself as he saw the squadron of Bat Bottleflies coming out from the magical portal.

This was no crossbreed as Kiva had personally created a chimaera monster. He had infused the traits of a bat into a bottlefly, giving it a hideous look deserving to be called as a demon. With the body of a bat enlarged to human size, the bottleflies' grotesque eyes were merged with the bat and their wings were semi-translucent, giving it an eerily buzzing sound whenever the bat moved. Not to mention, the insect's carapace was merged with the back of the bat's body alongside with some hideous thorns growing out of them.

"You guys, kill the wyverns and bring back those pieces of equipment they are wearing. I expect nothing less but success from you all." Kiva commanded as he chanted in a foreign language which Stolas had never heard before. It emitted a foul smelling aura which the mages and soldiers could not stand as Kiva cast the magic on his soldiers.

"Go forth and bring me victory," Kiva said. Then he turned his raven head back into a bat and smiled innocently at Stolas.

"It's nothing unusual. You do not have to give me that look." The bat replied as he returned back to his liege's side.

At that point, Stolas could not help but unconsciously root for the defenders to crush those Bat Bottleflies and show that Kiva's soldiers were fallible.

As the Stalingrad clashed into the Leviathan, the demons thought that they were seeing illusions of multiple coloured snakes gushing out of the metal ship and onto theirs. The Royal Snake Soldiers used their cultivation to jump onto the different parts of the ship instead of rushing from the bow of the ship.

Instead of fear and worry, Focalor was deviously excited when he saw the humans coming out of their ships to raid him. "It has been so long since someone dared to fight against us! COME! Show me your steel!" Focalor shouted as he deflected a cannon shot that came towards him with his scimitar.

"Heh. If a demon can do that, then I guess it's worthy of some exercise." Gan Yang thought to himself as he charged forth towards the large Tiefling who was over 2 metres tall, dwarfing the other members of his race.

Focalor immediately clashed blades with Gan Yang and could already feel his heart beating way faster than usual. Both of them grinned so widely that it was evident for any onlooker that they relished the opportunity to cross swords.

Gan Yang twisted his arm and hoped to give an uppercut with his sword, but Focalor could already see it coming by preemptively raising his right hand to hit the hilt of Gan Yang's sword. Yet, the reveal of Gan Yang's handgun from his left hand made the Horned Tiefling adjust his core so he could dodge sidewards and kick Gan Yang's gun away.

A continuous exchange of blows ensued against the close combat fight between the two leaders while everything was going to hell around Focalor's ship. In order to fight against the human cultivators, Focalor had released his Fog that Steals again but condensed it to a smaller radius that covered only his ship.

His demon Tieflings believed they had the upper hand to beat the humans since they were able to wield unholy strength from the undead attribute by the Focalor's fog. By condensing the size of the fog down further, their prowess increased in proportion.

The Royal Snake Soldiers were of course surprised by it when they realised their guns were not working as intended. However, it only meant that they had to utilise their cultivation against these demons and started to appreciate just how useful this particular dungeon instance was.

With the Stalingrad's bow stuck onto the hull of Leviathan, Edward and Kenway wasted no time to ram their ships onto the sides of the Stalingrad. But with the turrets targeting them, it was a delicate manoeuvre to reach intact and crash against it. Still, they did not retreat in their endeavour and continued to press their charge. They knew this was the best time with the Stalingrad being relatively empty due to their sailors raiding against the Leviathan.

"Heh! Come at us if you dare! I will show you the strength of this almighty ship!" Mr Derpy taunted as he controlled the guns with Wolte's permission and started to empty the turrets haphazardly towards the incoming threats. (Except no one in the deep sea was there to hear his shouts.)
