Chapter 547

The hundreds of people of the Red Flame Battalion were confined in groups in big cages . The pungent smell in there suggested they could have been used previously to hold animals .

But Qiu Yan knew the smell actually came from demons!

As the sound of footsteps approached, a person beyond their expectations showed up, receiving the military salute of the guards .

Surprisingly, it was a woman, but considering the splendid design of the castle, it made sense .

The woman was tall and slim . Her legs were so long that it seemed she didn’t have a waist .

Her boots were knee-high, while the fair and smooth skin between her knees and her lap was exposed .

Her light armor had more aesthetic than practical value . A large part of her skin was exposed . It was dangerous for a woman to be on the battlefield in such an armor, especially for such a pretty woman .

Her straight nose and arched brows made her look a bit exotic .

With a faint smile on her face, she walked up to the cages .

“You trespassed on my land . That’s a capital crime . “

Overlooking the soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion in the cages, the woman said, “Your lives are mine now . Keep that in mind . “

The soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion glanced at each other . Qiu Yan didn’t say anything, either .

“Now, I need ten men,” the woman said .

Then the cages were opened . A Venerable junior captain went in .

The soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion couldn’t exert any power in these cages, so they couldn’t fight back .

Ten strong soldiers were taken, shouting and yelling . The woman also left .

About 15 minutes later, the ten men were brought back . The other soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion took a deep breath when they saw them again .

The ten strong people had been dried up . They were as thin as sticks and were all skin and bones, with deep sunken eyes .

They were still alive, but they had been permanently disabled .

Many soldiers recalled how hot the woman was . They looked odd with their minds busy picturing vivid fantasies .

“You’re working on evil methods! How dare you! Once the Sacred Martial Arts Institute is informed, the Dragon Rebel Army will be in big trouble!” Qiu Yan shouted emotionally . She had come up with a reasonable assumption .

The woman came back . She didn’t seem to be in a good mood, because she hadn’t gotten what she wanted . The experiment had failed .

“Take 20 more,” she ordered, ignoring Qiu Yan .

Warned by Qiu Yan, the soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion all turned pale . They had all heard of how dreadful evil methods were .

They couldn’t bear the thought of being used as guinea pigs . Everyone was stepping back in their cages so that they wouldn’t be taken .

However, in the end, the junior captain took another 20 unlucky guys from them .

But when someone intended to take Qiu Yan, the woman stopped him .

“Leave her there for the moment . It’s not easy to find Venerables for our experiments . Save her until the last minute . “

Qiu Yan didn’t relax because of that . Instead, she said in anger, “The Dragon Rebel Army claim to fight for justice, fighting to overturn the tyranny . Aren’t you ashamed of what you’re doing?”

“Hehe . ” The woman came up to her . She reached into the cage and pinched Qiu Yan’s cheek with her long, thin fingers .

“The Flying Dragon Dynasty has managed to stay powerful until today because they invested lots of money and manpower to study evil methods hundreds of years ago . Their success in evil methods contributed to the power of the dynasty .

“Nowadays, to secure their dominant position, the Flying Dragon Dynasty calls them evil methods and made rules against them along with the Sacred Martial Arts Institute . If that isn’t tyranny, what is?”

Although she had posed a question, she was putting such great strength into her fingers that Qiu Yan couldn’t answer her at all .

“You’ll pay the price . Our lieutenant will revenge us,” a soldier of the Red Flame Battalion shouted .

The woman acted like she had heard a joke . She released Qiu Yan and then said, “Even your commander can’t do anything to me . What can your lieutenant do?”

A great disturbance came from over the castle almost as soon as she had finished speaking .

They looked up and saw a dark cloud formed by numerous low-level demons approaching the castle .

The woman and the guards weren’t panicked at all . They were only confused why these demons were attacking the castle for no reason .

However, the soldiers of the Red Flame Battalion in the cages cheered up .

The 20 men that had been taken outside couldn’t help but burst out in laughter .

Upon seeing such an unusual scene, the woman said, “Is that your lieutenant?”

No one answered . They even felt too disdainful to look at her .

“He’s courting death,” she said coldly . When the low-level demons were about 100 yards away from the castle, they felt like they had bumped into a hard surface, then they blew up .

If observed from another angle, people would see the whole castle was shrouded in a halo .

The transparent halo seemed thin, but in fact, it was extremely powerful .

The dark and dense mass of demons were kept out of the halo . They died one after another, while the halo wasn’t even a little bit weakened .

“That’s what he relies on, these low-level demons?” the woman said with a cold smile .

Whenever she spoke, a mishap would happen . It was hard to say whether it was only a coincidence .

It was the demons first . As soon as she finished speaking, the ward halo shrouding the castle shook violently, and a big hole appeared over them, growing bigger and bigger .

The impatient demons swarmed in right away .

“Princess! Go back into the castle!” Some junior captains went up to the woman immediately to protect her .

“I’ll stay here . I’m curious to see how they’ll be rescued!”

The woman was reluctant to go . She wasn’t taking the demons seriously yet .

She was confident for a reason . Before the demons started the attack, the weapons in the castle had been all set .

Among them there were bolt throwers, and those weren’t the most powerful weapons the woman had in the castle . What really surprised people was a chariot that could throw fire .

As the fire-like heat wave was shot into the sky, the demons were burnt right away .

In the meantime, the guards had all gathered in the square where the cages were . The demons had no way to break the defense, which was composed of guards in the Reaching Heaven State, not to mention five Venerables .

“I’ll kill ten soldiers for every minute that passes . Just keep using the demons to consume our military power! Let’s see who’ll have the last laugh!”

The woman was not only hot, but also hot-tempered . Although she saw nobody in the sky, she kept yelling loudly .

Then someone walked out of the cloud of demons slowly .

None of the demons around him attacked him . Instead, they made way for him .

“Jiang Chen!”

Qiu Yan was pleasantly surprised . Jiang Chen was still alive and safe in spite of the chase of the Dragon Rebel Army .

What was more, he had broken through to the Venerable stage .

However, the current situation suddenly occurred to Qiu Yan while she was feeling happy for him . She hurried to say, “Jiang Chen, these are the Dragon Rebel Army’s guard troops . They have five Venerables . Run!”

Sizing up the castle below, Jiang Chen kept approaching them, as if he hadn’t heard her .

“Not bad . ” The woman cooled off a little bit after seeing Jiang Chen’s face . She said with a smile, “You’ll make a good guinea pig . ”
