Chapter 642: 【477】I, the King of Blood Nightmare, the Demon King who terrifies the Western lands! (Requesting monthly passes and subscriptions)_1
After annexing the Earth Shadow Legion, Pei Jinye’s forces had efficiently grown stronger.
In this battle, he had lost more than two hundred men.
However, he also incorporated over three thousand men, bringing the total number of his legion to over ten thousand!
Looking at the mighty figures kneeling on one knee before him, welcoming his arrival.
Pei Jinye raised his hand.
“King!”
The unanimous cry echoed through these woods.
The momentum was like a rainbow!
Unlike other legions, Pei Jinye’s Blood Nightmare Corps was definitely the legion in this region that had grown the fastest.
“King, we only have enough provisions for the last month. If there is no ample supply of provisions after one month, we might encounter a major crisis,” one of Pei Jinye’s guards, whom he had chosen a few days ago to be in charge of logistics, looked on with a worried face.
“What about the Earth Shadow Legion’s provisions?” asked Pei Jinye.
No sooner had he asked the question than the memory of the Earth Shadow King emerged in his mind.
He cursed under his breath.
The logistics officer said with a worried face, “The Earth Shadow Legion’s provisions are not abundant either. After counting, there is at most twenty days’ worth. The Earth Shadow Legion probably thought we had plenty of provisions, and that’s why they declared war on us.”
In fact, that was indeed the case.
The King of the Earth Shadow Legion had watched the Blood Nightmare Corps almost every day—it was either on the way to wage war or on the way back from war.
A normal person would definitely prepare enough provisions before launching a campaign to conquer other legions.
But what the Earth Shadow King didn’t realize was that the man he was dealing with defied conventional logic!
Provisions?
As long as there was enough, that was fine!
Pei Jinye, seeing his subordinate’s worried look, knew his concerns, and with a wave of his hand declared, “Provisions are a simple matter; just borrow some from the nearby legions.”
“But King, close by is the territory of the Fierce Tiger Legion… they probably won’t lend to us.” The logistics officer looked hesitant.
“Then it’s not up to them,” Pei Jinye said, turning away.
“Gu Yue.”
“Your subordinate is here!” A huge figure walked forward and knelt on one knee before Pei Jinye.
“Arrange two hundred men to execute a mission with me.”
“Yes!”
Pei Jinye walked away with large strides.
…
At this moment.
Inside a tent of the Fierce Tiger Legion.
“The Earth Shadow Legion has just been destroyed.”
“Huh? Who did it?” The man in silver armor was obviously astonished. “What has happened that I don’t know about? If I remember correctly, when we fought the Earth Shadow Legion, we only destroyed a branch, and the King said we’d wait another three months, gather more provisions and then attack them, and now they’re gone?”
“This is also beyond my expectations. It didn’t take more than half an hour from start to finish.” Scarface laid out the sand table and gestured, “The other side was very direct. First, they killed the sentries, then they burst through the door. It took them no more than three minutes to break in and catch the Earth Shadow Legion by surprise.”
“No warning at all? That can’t be right. Is the Earth Shadow Legion that weak? If they were that weak, why couldn’t we have conquered them when we fought them?” The man in silver armor obviously couldn’t accept this explanation. “Which legion did it?”
Scarface glanced at him, “Remember the mysterious man we met at the Giant Hammer Legion? I saw lightning on the battlefield, and I suspect it was him.”
“Is it really true?” The man in silver armor was stunned.

Scarface nodded after a moment of contemplation.
“Sheesh.” The man in silver armor sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Unbelievable, he alone caught us off guard back then, and in such a short time, he has been able to take down the Earth Shadow Legion. If we give them a little more time, wouldn’t our Fierce Tiger Legion be flattened as well?”
He looked up.
Scarface shook his head, “I can’t estimate that. The higher-ups are unwilling to make a move.”
“Why? Because of provisions?”
“Yes, the previous war with the Greedy Wolf Legion consumed a lot of food. Otherwise, our battle against the Fierce Tiger Legion wouldn’t have been delayed for so long because of the Earth Shadow Legion.”
“What’s next?”
“We’ve been given half a month to snatch as much provisions as possible from the surrounding legions. Our target is not this new legion, but the Greedy Wolf Legion.”
“I actually think this emerging legion might be more difficult to deal with than the Greedy Wolf Legion,” the man in silver armor sighed softly.
Scarface looked at him and kept silent.
From the Earth Shadow Legion’s destruction, it was clear that the opponent’s strength was not to be underestimated.
While they were chatting casually, suddenly, a warning alarm and the uneasy roars of giant tigers came from outside the tent.
Scarface and the man in silver armor looked at each other and their expressions changed. They almost simultaneously rushed out of the tent.
“What’s happened?”
Scarface stopped a warrior rushing to put out the fire and asked.
“A big fire has started in the eastern camp.”
“The east… oh no, that’s where a large amount of provisions is stored!”
The man in silver armor’s expression changed, and he hurried over.
But by the time they arrived, the provision storehouse was filled with burnt cinders.
“Why was there a fire?”
“Wait, where are the provisions?”
…
Pei Jinye returned with his men, laden with spoils.
Upon returning to the military camp, I called the logistics support officer over and pointed to the corner filled with a mound of grain, asking, “Calculate this, how many days will this last us?”
The logistics support officer stared in amazement.
Only after a flurry of activity did they finish the tally.
“This pile of forage can at least delay us by another three months.”
“So we have about five months’ worth now?” Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
“That’s fine if you, my King, don’t continue to wage war, but if we do, we’ll need to replan,” the logistics support officer said cautiously, looking towards Pei Jinye.
“Don’t worry about the supplies. I’m relying on you for the rear support,” Pei Jinye said understandingly, patting the officer on the shoulder.
The logistics support officer looked flattered and quickly acknowledged the assurance.
After he left.
Pei Jinye summoned his deputy and issued instructions.
Not waging war was out of the question.
However, choosing whom to fight was very important.
Pei Jinye didn’t want to confront the First-Line Legion head-on, not yet.
Even though his numbers had now surpassed ten thousand, he was still unwilling.
He didn’t want the thankless task of depleting his own strength.
The most efficient method for him was to continuously annex the smaller legions and swiftly accumulate the energy of the Mother God Stone.
His purpose in this world wasn’t to conquer it.
It was solely to accumulate the power of the Mother God Stone and complete the condensation of the Dharma Body Realm.
He arranged for his subordinates to continue developing the combat plan.
Pei Jinye’s relentless conquests seemed crazy and hysterical to the other legions.
Completely disregarding supplies as the first step, they would plunder when needed and continue waging war when they had enough.
This approach undoubtedly further reinforced the Blood Nightmare Corps’ reputation for ruthless madness.
Even the Fierce Tiger Legion felt uneasy.
Three days ago, a small squad from the Fierce Tiger Legion intruded onto the Blood Nightmare Corps’ territory without any rationale and was soon annihilated without mercy by Pei Jinye.
This irritated the Fierce Tiger Legion greatly.
But after two consecutive failed probes, the strength of the Blood Nightmare Corps was further confirmed.
Suddenly, the name of the Blood Nightmare began to rise in notoriety across the Western lands—yet infamously so.
This caused some legions to relocate overnight, just to get farther away from the Blood Nightmare Corps.
This inevitably left Pei Jinye baffled.
“It’s laughable. The law of the jungle has always been the rule in your world, and now you’re acting as if I’m particularly bloodthirsty.”
Pei Jinye found the situation absurd, so he led his men that very night to subdue those fleeing legions.
“Kill all who refuse to submit.”
Pei Jinye said with a wave of his hand from atop his throne, then continued to examine the Mother God Stone in his hand, having unlocked the Third Rank and only one hundred or so people away from reaching a legion size of fifteen thousand.
“Yes, my King,” the guard responded as he left.
It wasn’t long before someone hurried in with a report.
“My King, a group outside says they wish to join us.”
Pei Jinye looked up calmly, “How many?”
“About a hundred, they’re all injured… They seem to be remnants of a small legion that’s been driven out.”
“Seeking refuge?”
Pei Jinye didn’t immediately trust their claim.
Instead, he divined the outcome.
Only when it showed no disaster in accepting them did he grandly gesture,
“Let them in.”
Before long.
A disheveled and unknown remnant of a legion appeared in the Treasure Palace, looking around uneasily at the powerful guards standing all around, as if every one of them exuded an aura that struck terror into their hearts.
“King of the Blood Nightmare, please take us in…”
The leader, a giant of a man, suddenly knelt with a thud, appearing to be rather old.
Seeing him kneel, men and women alike followed suit, repeatedly kowtowing to Pei Jinye.
“Which legion do you come from?” Pei Jinye asked calmly, his voice booming, reaching everyone’s ears.
This display of might undoubtedly further proved Pei Jinye’s strength.
“We report to the King of the Blood Nightmare, we come from the Blast Earth Legion,” the elder said truthfully, not daring to lie.
Many legions in the West had already suffered at the hands of the Blood Nightmare Corps. The reputation of the King of the Blood Nightmare as someone who kills without blinking had spread, so there was no need to lie and invite trouble.
The reason they came to the Blood Nightmare Corps was the hearsay that other legions who joined here did not become prisoners; unlike other legions, newcomers were not treated as inferior, with all ranks and statuses determined solely by level, irrespective of their previous lineage.
It was for this reason that the Blast Earth Legion had come to seek refuge.
They did not want their women to become playthings to be toyed with by other powerful individuals, nor their children to become slaves.
Thus, joining the Blood Nightmare Corps was their best decision.
Pei Jinye gazed at them calmly, “Have you thought this through? Joining my legion means facing the trial of life and death every day. Are you not afraid of dying?”
“We fear death. But we fear more the idea that a lifetime of effort only leads to being used like animals. King of the Blood Nightmare, we know you wouldn’t hurt women and children; just for that, you’re worthy of respect. Even though people say you kill without a second thought and are utterly ruthless, this alone makes us believe in your character,” the elder said gravely, each word heartfelt.
Pei Jinye watched him silently.
After a moment, he couldn’t help but smile inwardly.
You sure have a way with words, old man.
