Cursed Immortality-Chapter 726: Dreadful Locust Army

Today, a massive army of different races from different regions of the conflict plains were gathered together in grass plains. The atmosphere was extremely heavy and solemn, and everyone was on edge. They looked towards the clear horizon with trepidation.

Both aura combatants and spirit sorcerers were arranged in formations, while the healers were protected in the middle. If it were any other time, this army could've been unbeatable in the entire conflict plains. But alas, if only it were that simple this time around.

In the rear of this huge army stood a giant in heavy armor standing tall like a mountain, holding his towering spear imbued with flame-like patterns, giving an intense, fiery aura.

"How long before the contact?" The giant asked the giant standing beside him in a grave

tone.

The second giant, holding a lance, solemnly replied, "Chief Commander Gunnar, the vanguard army will contact the Locust Army in twenty minutes!"

Chief Commander Gunnar was the previous Chairman of the Epic Plains' Alliance, but he was no longer in that lofty position after he fled the Epic Plains with his daughter upon offending someone he shouldn't have.

Nonetheless, his life was still quite lavish despite his arrival in his unfamiliar yet terrifying place, and it was all thanks to his daughter Charlotte catching the interest of the young lord of the Thunder Giant Clan.

He smoothly acquired resources to break through to the Unique Rank and climb the high ranks of the Conflict Plains Alliance.

Everything was going fine until the damn locust army suddenly showed up, and despite his connections, he was given no leeway and selected as the Chief Commander of this Vanguard Army.

Even his potential 'son-in-law,' who belonged to the mighty Thunder Giant Clan, was appointed to another region of this 'Locust Annihilation Army,' including his daughter.

Including him, everyone who was enjoying their lofty positions was baffled by these sudden steep orders from the higher-ups. It seemed as if someone extremely powerful was monitoring this entire thing, and no one could use their statuses or bribes their way out of this dangerous situation.

Although they were all strong, the problem was that the locust army's numbers were simply too huge. Not to mention that the army seemed to fear nothing. They were like fearless puppets and didn't need morals to continue moving forward.

So, deterring them would be nigh impossible, while, on the other hand, the lifeforms of the conflict plains were completely opposite. They knew just how bloody this mess was going to be, and they secretly wanted to flee, but even that had been made impossible by the three absolute factions.

No one knew what was happening, why the locust army was attacking, and why the three factions were so united to tackle it, even at the cost of so many lives. It was like they were being used as chess pieces by someone.

'I wondered if those two are fine....' Gunnar's face looked nostalgic as he thought about his two equals. He then shook his head ruefully, knowing there was no point in thinking about the past now.

Gunnar's eyes shimmered with cold resolve as he looked toward the direction where the locusts were coming, 'I can't let those damn bugs pass this checkpoint, or they'll quickly reach where Charlotte is! I didn't leave everything to get myself and her killed in this place. No matter what it takes, I'll protect her!'

This was going to be the first clash between the Locust Army and the Locust Annihilation Army, and everyone was watching this with high hopes!

However, three hours later, the entire Unique Plains was enveloped by a deadly silence because the first clash with the vanguard army and locust army resulted in the Locust Annihilation Army's utter defeat and no survival!

What remained after the battle were mountains of corpses enveloped in purple ice and mist, and the Locust Army continued to advance at the same pace despite losing almost a million locusts!

While the Unique Plains were feeling the terror of the locust army, some people started to flee in all directions, and some people in the shadows returned to the place of battle at night and started to gather blood on the vanguard battlefield!

Skyfall was one of these people, and his expression was extremely gloomy, "Did we have to do such a humiliating and despicable thing now?!"

He couldn't help but furiously question the giant with him, who was none other than Vermont. If it were any other time, these two would've already started bickering with each other. But on this rare occasion, they couldn't be any more united.

Vermont, who was using another soul puppet, kept a rare humble silence all this time, or he would be the first one to throw a tantrum. He even took his job quite seriously.

No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't forget that deadly slap that had become his biggest nightmare, and whenever he thought about it, a sudden chill would always follow suit, and his fury would turn into fear.

"We don't have any choice. That person is simply too powerful, and even the Queen has completely taken his side now." Vermont gloomily replied as he looked at a runic container in his hand, which was filled with crimson and purplish liquid.

"Bullshit! He's only powerful because he's in the conflict plains! If he had guts, why didn't he just step outside the conflict plains' protection? He's taking advantage of us by using the Legendary Key!" Skyfall retorted in indignation as his eyes were filled with fury.

"No, that person definitely had the power to back it up." Vermont sighed ruefully.

Skyfall was speechless. It caused him great pain to see his unyielding rival acting like a scaredy-cat. He exclaimed, "Why are you so afraid? It's not like you at all. Don't make me look down on you!"

Vermont smiled bitterly, "Once you experience it, you'll understand what I'm talking about. But I still advise you not to try it. If that goblin was good at scheming to keep us all in the dark all this time, then that person didn't need any schemes because he had the power to overcome

schemes.

"Furthermore, if we can enter the Path of Legend with him, I think we might have an upper hand against other lesser galaxies. Don't forget our goal. Once we achieve that rank, it won't be too late for a rematch.

"As for these sacrifices, they can only blame themselves for being weak!" Vermont coldly stated as he had already made up his mind; for him only the Path of Legend matters, and only that could he pay back the humiliation he received that day!

Diminutive oversaw gathering the filled special containers and delivering them back to Jacob. He took this job upon himself under the pretext of safety and speed. He was also the one who brought these special containers from somewhere.

At this moment, under the darkness of night, he was standing in front of 32 containers filled with blood that the members of the treaty had gathered in a few hours.

But there was a runic circle under those containers, shimmering with an ethereal glow, resonating with the runes of the continuers.

At this moment, Diminutive grimly asked while staring at the empty space, "Would it work? What if he noticed this? That person is not easy to deal with!"

A stoic yet profound voice rang at this moment in answer, "Don't worry, no one can go against the corrosion of time!"
