[Ferocious Bats (Tier 3)].

The body size of the Ferocious Bats is comparable to that of an adult hound, completely black in color, hanging upside down, with their black bat wings covering most of their bodies.

Quietly waiting for the prey to approach.

In the eyes of the Blood Clan, these specially bred Ferocious Bats are more useful than the falcons tamed by human aristocrats.

Once their bloodthirsty nature is aroused, they will plunge into the enemy’s lines without hesitation.

Fang Hao and Demitrija also made a simple guess about Tanho Lake.

Considering the character of the Red Duke, a lot of forces would be deployed here.

Even a large number of Dusk Banqueters.

However, they didn’t expect that what would greet them would be tens of thousands of giant bats.

Upon further thought, Fang Hao and Demitrija realized they had fallen into a misconception.

This place was the territory of the Blood Clan.

To enter Tanho Lake, it is necessary to go through a series of the Blood Clan’s castles.

The Blood Clan and the thin-bloods in these castles are, implicitly, the guards of Tanho Lake.

Ferocious Bats obscured the sky, swooping down in groups towards the Undead Army.

These Tier 3 bats often rely on their numbers and mobility as their advantages.

Even if they found that the number of enemies is dozens of times larger than their own, and they are a bunch of bloodless skeletons.

They wouldn’t turn and flee, but only knew to plunge fearlessly into the rank and file.

“Attack!” Demitrija gauged the distance and calmly uttered the command.

“Fire arrows!”

“Fire arrows!”

“Magic missile!”

A dense clanging of bowstrings was followed by the sounds of arrows cutting through the air.

Two hundred thousand archers fired simultaneously.

The arrows were like a giant wave, slamming towards the oncoming flock of bats.

Thud thud thud!

Arrows hit the Ferocious Bats.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of Ferocious Bats were filled with arrows, falling down like raindrops.

The first round of volley firing ended.

The undead mages at the rear had also condensed the [DarkMissile].

The Death Whisper Wand pointed into the sky, and a hundred thousand magic missiles formed a curtain of light that exploded in the sky.

Boom boom boom!!

The bats that couldn’t evade in time were instantly blown to pieces by the explosion.

Pieces of flesh fell with the rain of blood.

Only in the first clash, more than half of the bats were killed or had lost their ability to fly.

The remaining bats continued to approach.

Archers switched from volleyed fire to free firing.

The bats that dived into the team knocked down a large number of warriors.

When they revealed their fangs, intending to tear the enemy’s flesh.

They found that the body wrapped under the armor was just hollow white bones.

The Skeleton Soldiers of the side took this opportunity to kill the bats that had fallen to the ground.

The battle didn’t last long.

Besides consuming a large number of arrows, the casualties were negligible.

Demitrija took another look at the silent Deadwood Forest and ordered, “Maintain the formation, advance, and collect the arrows along the way.”

It was still uncertain whether there was danger ahead, so they needed to maintain their vigilance.

The team moved forward in formation.

The archers at the rear collected the arrows along the way.

Stepping into the Deadwood Forest.

An anomaly occurred again.

Decaying corpses crawled out of the ground, wearing rotted armor, and launched an attack on the team.

But, the rank of these rotten corpses was not high, nor did they have a numerical advantage.

The Undead Army didn’t stop, marching forward, they casually exterminated all these emergent rotten corpses.

At the front of Tanho Lake.

The lake was still calm, like a giant mirror, with a few broken arrow shafts drifting on it.

Kong Yong was dragged over from the back of the team by a skeleton warrior. “Does the village have any sayings about this lake?” Demitrija asked indifferently.

Tan Ho Lake was too calm.

Given the Red Duke’s nature, apart from the bats and rotting corpses on the shore.

The bottom of the lake was a perfect place to set up an ambush.

If there was anyone who wanted to salvage the body from the bottom of the lake.

It would be an ideal chance to kill the enemy.

Kong Yong’s legs were shaking— he didn’t want to get near that damned Tan Ho Lake.

Hearing Demitrija’s inquiry, he started to recall any rumors he had heard about the lake.

Thinking for a moment, he said, “Some say there are treasures at the bottom of the lake.”

“And?”

“That’s it. Nobody dares approach this place—not even the Blood Clan or the Half-bloods.” Kong Yong said.

“Alright, I get it.” Demitrija spoke out.

Kong Yong moved to the back of the team.

Demitrija called over two Barren Tomb Guards, “Go down and check. If you find any coffins or anything, bring them up.”

The two Barren Tomb Guards plunged straight into the lake.

However, soon enough.

The center of the lake started churning and then the bleached skeletal remains floated up.

Seeing this, there was no need for further thinking.

There was indeed danger at the bottom of the lake that had killed the Barren Tomb Guards who went down.

“You, go down.” Demitrija ordered nearly a hundred Barren Tomb Guards.

He took several Nightstones out of his backpack and put them around the necks of the Barren Tomb Guards.

Plop!

Plop, plop!

The Barren Tomb Guards dived into the lake and descended towards the bottom. Demitrija also jumped into the lake, maintaining a certain distance from the sunken guards.

He was carefully observing the threats that might emerge from the surroundings.

The trait of “Underwater Breathing” in the lizardmen race,

Made him even more flexible in water than on land.

On the other hand, the Barren Tomb Guards, despite not needing to breathe in water, moved quite awkwardly and sluggishly.

They might not even be able to exert half of their original strength.

Everyone descended quickly.

The Nightstones illuminated the surroundings, while also attracting creatures from the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, four massive fish-like creatures began to approach.

Each fish was nearly six meters long, with scales similar to crocodiles covering their entire bodies.

They rapidly swam towards the sluggish Barren Tomb Guards, opening their enormous mouths that were full of sharp teeth, biting and shaking one of the guards.

The Barren Tomb Guards waved their White Steel Giant Swords, influenced by the water.

The strikes left only shallow scratches on the heavy scales.

Perhaps it felt that the bones lacked flavor.

One of the creatures turned its attention towards the swimming lizardmen from behind.

Shouldering past the skeletal remains, it opened its enormous mouth and bit towards one of the lizardmen.

Demitrija glanced indifferently at the massive fish charging towards him.

He shifted his body and instantly dodged the attack.

His longsword swept out.

“Raging Slash”.

A red sword aura sliced through the massive fish’s neck.

The fish’s head was still lunging forward with biting motions while the body was already separated, slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake.

The death of one massive fish, blood diffusing into the water, sent the remaining three into a frenzy.

Their biting became even crazier as they tangled with the Barren Tomb Guards.

Demitrija confirmed no other creatures were there.

He started swimming quickly as well.

Approaching the remaining massive fish, he mercilessly executed them with his sword training.

Having eliminated the threat at the bottom of the lake.

Demitrija continued to dive deeper leading the few remaining Barren Tomb Guards.

As they neared the bottom of the lake,

Demitrija finally saw their target.

In the center of the lake bed.

There was an approximately two meters high humanoid iron coffin.

The iron coffin stood upright at the bottom of the lake, and a female face was carved on the front of it.
