The Era of Gods

Chapter 151 Vampire Demi-god Incarnation Descends

After the twelve transcendent-level Whale Knights appeared, the second batch was about three hundred Supreme Nagas.

As Lin Xiao had planned, if he were to summon his Clan in a harsh environment, he would need this group of powerful subordinates to first break open the situation and establish a safe environment. Only then would he massively summon the Small Fishmen cannon fodder.

An endless stream of Small Fishmen were summoned and dispersed around the portal. Once a group of Fishman Magicians had been summoned, they jumped into the river and began to summon Water Elements.

The Water Elements were still the same, but now there were more Fishman Magicians than before.

During the Summer Camp challenge, when summoning the tides drowned Li Shengyuan’s three armies, Slarda had seen the power of the Fishmen Mockery Magicians in battle. Later, when the Fishmen entered the ancient arena for promotion, he instructed the Fishmen to become Magicians if they could awaken their bloodlines and be promoted, trying to increase the number of Magicians as much as possible.

As of now, there were more than two thousand Fishman Magicians, with the total number of Fishmen exceeding sixteen thousand to seventeen thousand.

The number of Wise Goblins had not changed much; less than one hundred new Wise Goblins had been bred. After being derived from ordinary Goblins into potential-rich Wise Goblins, their reproductive capability also decreased, now even lower than that of the Fishmen, but stronger than the Supreme Nagas. Currently, there were about one thousand three hundred Supreme Nagas in the Divine Realm, including adults, children, and even newborn infants, which was a lot more than before.

This was the result of Lin Xiao, whenever he had the time, tediously using Reproductive Divine Transcendent Abilities to forcefully impregnate the mother Supreme Nagas. Coupled with the Supreme Nagas¹ long lifespan and the absence of natural deaths since their birth, this current accumulation was achieved.

The beginning is always the hardest; the reproduction rate of Supreme Nagas was just slow at the start. Given their lifespan, once the baseline grows, the reproduction speed will naturally accelerate.

In three rounds of summoning, the Fishman Magicians summoned a total of six thousand Water Elements. These Water Elements stood on the water’s surface as if regular people stood on Earth, with massive amounts of river water converging towards them, forming waves that ripple back and forth.

But in Lin Xiao’s eyes, each Water Element radiated an invisible undercurrent to the common folk, spreading around in all directions. This was the innate Water-controlling Talent of the Water Elements.

A single Talent wasn’t much, but when a large number of Water Elements gather, the undercurrents overlap, and this can form a earth-shattering force that drives the river water into towering waves.

Even if they did nothing, the river started to slowly undulate its waters, filled with a power that made hearts race.

“Boom!”

Lin Xiao suddenly turned his head and saw, ten kilometers away, a colossal azure bolt of lightning burst out of the blue sky and struck directly into the side of a solitary peak. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with his excellent vision, he saw that the azure bolt hit a figure, and in the next second, countless smaller bolts of lightning exploded out from that figure as the center, with a powerful presence surging towards the sky, accompanied by a declaration filled with grandeur:

“Thunder lies within my palm, for I am The Lord of Wrath!”

“An Epic Hero?”

In Lin Xiao’s eyes, it was a humanoid creature about five meters tall, with its face and ears merging into a mass of silver lightning at the back of the head, and occasionally tiny bolts sparked out like hair. Behind the figure spread a pair of wings over ten meters wide, made purely of lightning, flickering with light as they fluttered gently.

“Why does it look so darn cool?”

He glanced at Slarda, then at the humanoid calling itself The Lord of Wrath. The strength was hard to tell, but just the presentation alone indeed carried an air of grandeur.

Hmm, the moniker was pretty grand too.

Lin Xiao took another look at Slarda and wondered if he should also give his beloved general a grand nickname.

“Hmm, I’ll find an opportunity to bestow a nickname on him next time!”

He noted this down as something to address after the Summer Camp was over. Compared to Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin who each had an Epic Hero, Lin Xu only had one elite Hero – a Half-Elf Ranger. There were no earth-shattering phenomena upon their entrance, but it would be a huge mistake to underestimate the opponent because of this.

You should know that this was a transcendental-level Half-Elf Archer. They might be average in a head-on solo fight, but on the battlefield, they were formidable, with archery more terrifying than that of a sniper.

This time, Lin Xiao summoned fifteen thousand Fishmen, one thousand Supreme Nagas, and only two hundred Wise Goblins were dispatched.

They weren’t being sent to the battlefield, but rather to clean up after conquering the Vampire City and the castle. The Wise Goblins were highly intelligent, unlike the Fishmen who would infuriatingly pile everything together. Valuable items could easily get damaged in such a way.

With the Wise Goblins, they might be able to plunder valuable items like books and other good things.

The various powerful mythological technologies in the Main World are also transformed from the knowledge of Different Domains, such as Alchemy, Magic Weapon Crafting, and so on.

Although the level of transcendent craftsmanship in the Main World far surpasses that of Different Domains, and is better and more advanced, it does not mean that the craftsmanship from Different Domains is entirely useless; it can be used as a reference.

If they are lucky enough to find some new technology not yet present in the Main World, bringing it back could exchange for a large number of contributions and merits from the military, as well as tangible rewards.

About two hours later, all the Clans were summoned, and Lin Xiao closed the portal.

As the Master of the Divine Realm, Lin Xiao could at any time summon the teleportation gates again by spending a certain amount of time and the Power of Faith, without needing to constantly maintain them.

Beyond that, the Clan members he summoned had to be in the same plane as him. If he left the plane, all Clan members would automatically get teleported back to the Divine Realm.

Having ordered the Clan members to stand by where they were, Lin Xiao flew ahead to the solitary peak, meeting up with Lin Xu halfway. From afar, they spotted Shen Yuexin seated on a huge and luxurious magic carpet, flanked by two towering Wingmen of around two meters and sixty-seven centimeters, their wings entwined with lightning, and beside them stood that powerful Epic Hero known as the Lord of Wrath.

At the lower reaches of the solitary peak, the sky was filled with flying Wingmen, along with a few powerful Wingmen whose wings were enwreathed with lightning.

“These are my Clan, the Thunder Wings!”

Shen Yuexin raised her hand, pointing towards the mighty Transcendent Level Thunder Wings who bowed their heads in their direction, continuing her introduction:

“My Clan consists entirely of air units, most of them long-range Shooters complemented by magic-based Thunder Magicians. So, you’ll have to rely on yourself for the frontal assault later.”

She was looking at Lin Xiao. Lin Xu’s main force consisted of Half-Elf Archers, who couldn’t serve as the frontline.

Of course, her Wingmen also had melee fighters, but the Wingmen warriors were not as competent in close combat. They were more suitable and skilled at flying in the air and striking targets from a distance. Once they were pulled to the ground, they struggled as though ordinary people were dragged into water, which greatly impacted their combat power.

“No problem!”

Lin Xiao thumped his chest confidently, his gaze filled with both envy and amazement at her Wingmen.

He knew Shen Yuexin was strong, but he had not expected her to be this strong. The Wingmen themselves belonged to a high-tier race. She must have tens of thousands of Wingmen, all well-equipped. Most crucially, in her possession were seventy to eighty Thunder Magicians with wings wrapped in lightning with auras that reached the Transcendent Level, outnumbering Lin Xiao’s forces by several times.

Regardless of the specific strength, since they were all air units, Lin Xiao’s side would be utterly outmatched if it came to a fight.

“Crap, I need to develop a group of Frost Magicians; it’s too much of a disadvantage without ranged ones.”

While he had added the Frost Magician profession, there wasn’t enough time, nor did he have sufficient Power of Faith to open the ancient arena. He didn’t’ have many Frost Magicians, and their levels were not high enough to be put into actual combat.

The three of them gathered around the virtual map to discuss and created a siege plan based on the situation of their respective Clan members.

The strategy was straightforward: advance down the river, leveraging the Fishmen Mockery Magicians’ strengths to invoke a tidal surge during the siege.

It’s known that the Duke of Vampires’ city was built along the river, right next to the city’s interior, with no walls by the riverbank. Stirring the tide could directly flood into the city.

Then, naturally, it would be a frontal assault on the city.

No matter how good the plan was, it was still a form of support; in the end, a direct and earnest siege would depend on absolute strength.

Once the plan was confirmed, Shen Yuexin immediately ordered to break camp. The dense throng of Wingmen soared into the sky, escorting the magic carpet towards the riverside. Midway, they saw Lin Xu’s summoned army starting to leave camp.

His main Clan comprised Half-Elves, with cannon fodder being over ten thousand Forest Lizardmen, mostly warriors with a few Lizard Shooters.

The three forces combined had nearly forty thousand troops, including main warriors and cannon fodder, forming an immensely formidable force. Along the riverside wilderness, the army trampled out a swath of cleared land a kilometer wide that extended all the way to Vampire City, Alfonso.

That city was named after the Duke of Vampires, Alfonso, following a common practice in this plane where many cities were named after lords or legendary figures.

As the army neared Alfonso, it was inevitably spotted, and roughly ten kilometers from Alfonso, Shen Yuexin’s Wingmen had already discovered no fewer than ten scouting parties. The vanguard scouts had observed that Alfonso’s forces had gone into battle readiness.

When the two armies came within three kilometers of each other, Lin Xiao ordered the Fishman Magicians to control the summoned Water Elements to begin the Mockery, preparing the river water for summoning a giant tidal wave.

It was to be expected that the opposition would discover this in advance and thus be somewhat prepared, but that was of little consequence. Within the brief time frame, they couldn’t possibly erect a riverside city wall on the spot, and even if they were aware he intended to flood Alfonso, they would only be able to watch helplessly as the tide surged in.

A frontal assault on the city, flooding the city with water, this was an overt plan.

When the army was about a mile from the city wall, the urgent sound of alarm gongs from the city could already be heard, and countless warriors with weapons ascended the city walls.

From the direction of the city, numerous bloodthirsty transcendent auras rose to the sky. Streaks of blood merged from all over the city, and from the castle of the Duke of Vampires Alfonso behind the city, the Duke of Vampires Alfonso, watching the enemy through the Water Mirror Technique, recalled the advice his ally had given when leaving.

“Such a formidable army, he is doomed!”

Yu Xiu wasn’t far from Alfonso City at the moment.

He originally wanted to leave this troublesome place sooner, but after not getting far, he received orders from the company to find a safe location and await further instructions.
