The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Before White could react to the situation of the mountain-like monster in the distance, black chunks of flesh suddenly began to writhe inside the bodies of the demons lying on the ground.

Soon, the demons who had been knocked to the ground stood up one after another. Black chunks of flesh grew from the cuts made by the Melting Spear, and the demons who had died on the ground immediately turned into a twisted lump of black flesh.

Beneath the black flesh and blood, an varying number of hooves grew, essentially making it a miniature version of the monster that Noam had transformed into.

With the roars of these monsters, a new wave of attacks began, and the Lars Knights, who had not yet recovered from the anomaly, were immediately caught off guard.

The main attack methods of these black flesh and blood are elongated tentacles and physical collisions. Although the moves are simple, they are powerful and heavy. Moreover, these twisted black flesh and blood are constantly expanding. A lump of black flesh and blood transformed from a demon soldier is already taller than a fully armed mounted knight.

Seeing the black monster charging towards him with its mouth wide open, one of the knights panicked for a moment, but instinctively raised his ray gun. Several molten ray shots were fired, only leaving a few shallow holes in the monster.

While it had some effect, it was completely ineffective in stopping the monsters from approaching, especially when they were in large groups.

In the chaos, the knight tried to flee on horseback, but was knocked off by monsters that resurrected beside him. Several monsters, like unconscious corpses, bit off the leg of the knight's horse.

Seeing his beloved horse neighing in despair, the knight was about to get up and break free when suddenly his mind went blank. By the time the knight came to his senses, his left arm had already been bitten off by the monster.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

These monsters have an extremely strong bite force, and they shattered the enchanted armor in just a few bites.

However, the gray-collar workers reacted quite quickly. Faced with these changes, White immediately rode his horse to the front line to begin commanding.

The knights began to use various weapons to fight against these monsters. Ordinary muskets were able to suppress them, but unfortunately, these monsters seemed to feel no pain and continued to devour the fallen knights.

"Get out of my way!"

A knight raised his Melting Spear and pierced through the flesh of a monster, then twisted the spear and used its power to slice the monster in two.

Seeing that this method was effective, the knights immediately followed suit. Some of them felt that the spears were not effective, so they drew their melee swords.

But the monsters' tentacles were also thrashing wildly, constantly attacking the knights who came to their rescue.

Some monsters can even use the bloodline magic from their previous lives for both offense and defense, which puts the knights in a tough fight.

White had already noticed that these monsters grew stronger by devouring human corpses, so he immediately ordered, "Retreat! Quickly! Retreat first!"

Some knights immediately obeyed the order to rein in their horses and retreat, but many knights couldn't bear to leave their companions who were being eaten alive and wanted to turn back to rescue them. However, as more and more mutated demons appeared, those knights quickly became trapped.

Fortunately, most people were able to evacuate safely.

Laurie immediately noticed the situation on the flank of the battlefield, and the cannons were immediately turned around, but Laurie hesitated to give the order to fire because there were still many knights alive among them.

The knights were wailing for help. Because they were professionals, their cries and pleas for help were amplified by magic, making them exceptionally loud and echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

These monsters are like ferocious beasts that only know how to eat; they have no consciousness whatsoever, yet even professionals cannot break free from them.

At that moment, a voice drowned out all the screams, shouting towards Laurie's position: "Fire at me, now!"

After that sound, the knights whose hands and feet had been eaten away finally snapped out of their panic and fear. They stopped crying for help and instead shouted, "You son of a bitch, fire the cannon! I'm going to be eaten! Don't let me be eaten by such disgusting things!"

"Give me a quick death, now!"

Hearing these voices, Laurie finally made up her mind and issued the order.

"shooting!"

With Laurie's order, the gunners bombarded the monsters on the flanks.

These magical cannons that launched large fireballs were quite effective. The monsters quickly began to struggle in the explosions, their black flesh burning fiercely, but this still couldn't stop them from advancing.

Only after being continuously bombarded did these monsters turn to ashes and disperse.

All of this happened so fast that Laurie was still somewhat bewildered. However, among the military staff was a magic advisor who quickly guessed, "It is very likely some kind of evil magic that transforms living beings into monsters. The demons used this evil magic to transform their own people into the monsters we just saw, but this monster does not seem to be recorded in any known magic."

Laurie turned around stiffly and nodded at the same time. Whether the statement was true or false, it was at least convincing, and those monsters did not seem invincible.

However, this incident did have an impact on morale, and because all the artillery had been turned around in a panic, Hammond's pressure suddenly increased.

Fortunately, Darcy led a special musket unit that positioned itself close to the front lines to provide cover for Hammond, allowing Hammond to maintain his offensive.

Noam, who had already become a monster, incredulously felt the dissipation of those monsters transformed from demons.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's firepower was so strong that they were able to kill the demon god's offspring by suppressing them with firepower. However, Noam could also sense that the enemy had already exhausted all their strength just in dealing with those demon god's offspring.

So what about the next ones?

Doug's army was in chaos because the monster Noam had transformed into was too terrifying. Many soldiers began to flee in panic. Even Doug was preparing to escape with the help of his guards. However, when he saw that the enemy had shifted their firepower to deal with the monsters, which reduced the pressure on the front line, Doug cheered for the monsters.

Furthermore, more and more demons were transformed into the monsters they had just encountered. Some demons who were still in the rear even burst forth with flesh and blood, transforming into offspring of the demon god.

Who cares what kind of monster it is, as long as he can beat the gray-collar workers, Doug feels like he has already sold his soul to the devil.

But Doug still couldn't understand why, if the demons could transform into such monsters, they would concentrate all the humans in the Golden Harvest Plain.

However, Doug quickly understood that the monster Noam had transformed into suddenly began spewing black liquid from its mouth on its back. Humans who came into contact with the black liquid would immediately have their flesh and blood sucked out, turning into a pile of black rotten flesh that would then attach to the humans. Those humans, enveloped in the black rotten flesh, would immediately become monsters like walking corpses.

Not only that, those humans who tried to escape after witnessing such a horrifying scene were stopped by the demons who were constantly behind them and were driven forward towards the battlefield by these demons.

Meanwhile, the demons who had become the so-called offspring of the demon god were frantically devouring humans, and their bodies were constantly growing larger, becoming more and more like Noam's size.

However, those demons did not maintain their rationality like Noam, but instead shouted through the mouths on their fleshy bodies: "Sacrifice...offer more...sacrifice."

The sound didn't seem to come from normal vocal organs; it was more like a resonance caused by magic. Although the sound wasn't loud, it reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
