Inside the grand commander's tent...

Bang!!! (The sound of hitting the table)

"Why did something like this happen? Can someone tell me how this happened? And where is that bastard beast that killed Right Deputy Commander... Augh!" said the grand commander, very angrily and furiously as he spat out a huge mouthful of blood as he had been injured in the battle with those Immortal monster beasts.

"Um... We can't find it, sir!!"

"Can't find it!!? How is it possible to not find it!? You hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go out and search around the forest. I can't believe that you guys can't find it!"

"Commander, I guess we shouldn't do that because if we send someone to search in the forest, it might…"

"So, what do you want me to do…? You're telling me to let go of it? What about the death of the right deputy commander? Don't you think it's important enough for us to take revenge on him?"

The left deputy commander, who was his mentor, made his tone slightly weaker when he asked back, "That matter is important, but now what's more important is our army. Commander, you probably know why we're here. If you use your emotions to judge right now, I'm afraid we might not succeed in the assigned mission."

"Um... Sorry, I'm a bit too emotional. Sigh... I'm really a spoiled commander. If it weren't for the death of the right deputy commander, I would have been more conscious."

"I understand Commander's mood well, and I, too, would like to drag that vicious beast and chop it into ten thousand pieces, but with my duty as the army's mentor to plan to deal with our enemy, I can't neglect the duty."

"Um… Thank you very much. Alright, how many soldiers are left now, and who's died?"

"According to the rough reports I received, we lost a total of one million and five hundred thousand soldiers, seventy-two captain-in-chiefs, thirty colonel officers, and two supply camps. And we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers wounded, sir."

Huh...?

As soon as the grand commander heard the report, his face instantly turned pale, as the loss was so great, especially the commanders and colonels, as well as the provisions that were the heart of the army's ability to live.

"Regarding the provisions camp, it's okay, we still have a lot of monster beast meat that can be substituted. But about our captain-in-chief... what a great loss of our strength! Well, my mentor, what do you think we should do next!?" Even though the grand commander was saddened by what had happened, he had to move on. There must be death in the war, anyway.

Even though they lost a lot of captain-in-chiefs, they were able to re-appoint them, and besides, the number of soldiers left was up to three million. After all, he thought that they could easily defeat Blueland's troops with just this amount.

The decision of the left deputy commander as a mentor was to order all the wounded troops to return to the frontier city to heal themselves first because inside urban areas were the safest areas. In addition, the scenery around the city was an open area that made it easy to see enemies.

The grand commander agreed with this plan because his army could not enter the battlefield if there were still wounded people. And with the number of wounded in the hundreds of thousands, they had to send part of the troops to escort them as well. By calculating that, they would only have two million troops left to invade Blossom Meadow City first.

But for now, their army had to rest as they had to deal with the corpses of the soldiers who had died earlier and also damaged items and equipment, including the report that had to be sent back to the Kingdom about what happened.

The report sent back was definitely a fake report that was written only about the good news. If they wrote a report on what happened, they would be punished for sure. Therefore, it would be best to send a fake report, even if the punishment would be heavier when he returned.

The commander thought that he would use his work this time to help refute the guilt. He had to prepare for the next invasion as quickly as possible, even though there were only two-thirds of the soldiers left.

As for Zheng-Fu, after escaping from Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country's army, he entered back into the monster beast forest again to come up with a further plan for reducing their troops. His next plan was to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers who would retreat to the frontier city to heal.

At this moment, this part of the troops was the weakest. Although they had a large number of them, they definitely would not be able to defend themselves if faced with many more monster beasts. So, he led Jin-Tian into the forest again to search for more monster beasts.

But when he entered the forest, Zheng-Fu did not find any traces of the creatures at all. It seemed that they had all left since the first time Zheng-Fu led Jin-Tian to attack them to make them panic. Seeing this, Zheng-Fu entered even deeper into the forest to search for more monster beasts.

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

"Why is it that the deeper I go, the quieter it becomes!?" Zheng-Fu muttered as he soared deeper into the forest than before since the inside was extremely quiet and cold.

Groan!!!

Huh...?

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu could feel a slight movement not very far away from him, but even if he could feel its movement, he could not even sense its energy, what kind of creature it was, and what level it was.

Grrrrr!!!!! Grrrrr!!!!!

Jin-Tian could feel it as well. It ran in front of Zheng-Fu and snarled, staring in the direction of the voice.

Both a human and a monster beast were all set to stand ready to deal with it all the time. They did not know who this enemy was and how strong it was.

Groan!!!!!

Hiss!!! Brab!!! Brab!!!

Suddenly, round eyes stared at Zheng-Fu. The owner of these eyes had a small body and was intertwined with a tree that fell to the ground. Its face looked like a chameleon, but its body was as long as a snake, and its scales were strong and shining black.

"Is that a Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleon?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed, shocked to see the beast in front of him.

The Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleon was an Immortal stage monster beast with very high camouflage ability. This was due to its shiny onyx scales that helped conceal its identity from tactile detection.

But no matter how well it was concealed, it could not escape Zheng-Fu's ears and sharp senses. This caused the Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleon to appear when he saw that its prey was aware of it. And when it allowed itself to appear, the level of its hidden energy was revealed too.

"It's the fifth level of the Immortal stage monster beast!?" Zheng-Fu said with a smile on his lips, glad to see it, before turning hopeless later because this kind of monster beast was someone who preferred to hide rather than go out and fight face-to-face like the other previous monster beasts.

"Sigh... It's such a pity that you're the kind of monster who only likes to stay in the forest; otherwise, you would be able to do a lot for society. Anyway, you're still useful, especially your scaled skin, which can be used to make invisible armor very well."

[The Sword of the Wind Technique]

Whoosh!!!

Chop!!!

Just a single flick of the sword with Zheng-Fu's Sword of the Wind Technique created a surge of sharp winds that quickly charged at the Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleon, cutting off its head, knocking it to the ground without it realizing it, and did not even have a chance to groan at all.

With two levels of different energy, Zheng-Fu killed it without almost using a bit of strength. He then walked close to the Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleon before collecting its body and throwing it into his dimensional space. But after he kept its body, he suddenly felt a large amount of movement behind him.

Screech!!! Screech!!! Screech!!!

Hiss!!! Hiss!!! Hiss!!! Hiss!!!

The threatening sound continued, along with many red eyes in the trees in front of Zheng-Fu. At this moment, he was already surrounded by a large number of monster beasts. And when Zheng-Fu took a closer look at them, he found that the owners of those eyes were Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleons.

They were larger than the ones he had killed. And there were more than twenty of them. Not only that, the energy level of each of them was close to that of the one he killed, and they seemed to be very angry right now.

Hiss!!! Hiss!!! Hiss!!!

Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

Suddenly, three Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleons rushed towards him without him even realizing it, and they were extremely fast. Fortunately, Zheng-Fu was able to dodge them, causing them to crash to the ground with their faces down. If it was someone other than them, they must have been seriously injured or dead.

"These guys are terrifying enough. They might accomplish my plan if I deceive them all the way to the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country's troops, which are retreating to the frontier city!" Zheng-Fu said, thinking about his plan with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

These Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleons were furious that their friend was killed. And if Zheng-Fu took this opportunity to deceive them out of the forest, he thought they would take their anger out on the soldiers. And with an energy level that was higher than the ten previous Immortal stage monster beasts, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be killed for sure.

"Come on in, Little Chameleon Snake!!!"

[The Sword of the Wind Technique]

Whoosh!!!

Chop!!!

Hiss!!! Brab!!! Brab!!!

Having figured a plan out, Zheng-Fu immediately killed another Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleon to increase the fury of their horde even more before jumping upon Jin-Tian's back and letting Jin-Tian run slowly with a trick to deceive them to go after him.

Hiss!!! Hiss!!! Hiss!!!

Screech!!! Screech!!! Screech!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu ordered Jin-Tian to run, the horde of Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleons immediately followed him with great speed and agility, and that required Zheng-Fu to order Jin-Tian to speed up even more because, otherwise, they would have caught up with him.

"Yahoo! Let's go, my lovely Serpent Monster Onyx Armor Chameleons. Follow me to kill the enemy who angered you guys!" Zheng-Fu cried out as if he was a general leading the war.
