Chapter 270: A Mental-type System? Integrating the Blue Maggot and Pandes Tribes
The appearance of the Blue Maggot King prompted Beibeibei and the other Blue Maggots to immediately surround him, warily eyeing Tang Zheng above.
They were afraid he would launch an attack at any moment.
"King, why have you come to the front lines? Quickly, escort the King away! We will hold them off with our lives…" Beibeibei's anxious voice rang out.
"Enough," a majestic voice emanated from the purple, chrysalis-like worm.
The appearances of male and female members of the Blue Maggot Tribe were distinctly different; judging by appearance alone, they could be mistaken for two separate races.
"The invader has already breached our Hinterland. As your King, how could I abandon my people and flee like a coward!"
The Blue Maggot King spoke loudly. Though it was impossible to discern any change in his expression, the solemnity and resolve in his tone were palpable.
"Human who controls the undead, why have you led the Ogre Race to invade my Territory!" The Blue Maggot King’s worm-like head lifted, his thunderous question vibrating through the air.
The powerful, resounding voice spread out.
It managed to soothe and diminish the chaos and fear gripping the Blue Maggot Tribe.
"Heh heh—"
A hoarse, cold laugh, accompanied by the sharp sound of the bone dragon beating its wings, drifted down from above.
Tang Zheng gazed down at the Blue Maggots below, his eyes fixed on the purple, worm-like figure in the center. "I know you're trying to stall for time."
"Besides you, the King, your Blue Maggot Tribe should have one other member of the Royal Family, correct? Are they trying to escape right now?"
The moment these words were spoken.
The Blue Maggot King's shimmering, purple, wrinkled body quivered. The panic that had just been suppressed among the other Blue Maggots once again began to spread.
"I dislike wasting words. Use your strongest attack. If you can injure me, I will immediately retreat, Blue Maggot King."
Tang Zheng tapped the bone dragon with his foot.
"Roar!" The bone dragon twisted its long, bony neck and let out a roar that was part dragon, part beast.
"Fine!"
The Blue Maggot King realized that this human controlling the undead had no intention of wiping them out. At the same time, a surge of anger welled up inside him.
No matter what, he was the King of the Blue Maggot Tribe and the strongest individual of his entire race. For this opponent to treat him with such utter disregard was an insult to the Royal Family!
The Blue Maggot King's body writhed. To a normal person's senses, a terrifying amount of magic power began to radiate from his body.
It was common knowledge that the holy and fire attributes were the most effective means of combating the undead.
"Magic Reinforcement: Fire Element—Grand Fireball!"
The sonorous chant caused the magic power to oscillate.
*Whoosh!*
A fireball, one meter in diameter and blazing with intense flames, materialized above the Blue Maggot King's head, releasing scorching heat and light.
The soldiers protecting the Blue Maggot King couldn't help but lean back, their faces a mixture of fear and awe.
"Go!" the Blue Maggot King roared.
*Boom!*
The massive fireball shot forward, streaking directly toward Tang Zheng in mid-air. Faced with an attack that would be considered terrifying in the eyes of an ordinary person, Tang Zheng remained standing on the bone dragon's skull, his arms crossed over his chest.
His red hood and mask concealed his face, making it impossible to read the human's thoughts, but his posture radiated contempt.
"Fourth-tier mental magic? I thought you could use the power of fifth-tier magic. It's all the same, though."
Tang Zheng's expression was indifferent.
Anything less than the seventh tier was insufficient to harm the bone dragon. What slightly surprised him was that the magic reinforcement the Blue Maggot King used was specifically designed to enhance magic of the five elements.
*Bang!*
As everyone watched, the massive fireball slammed into the bone dragon's body, producing a muffled explosion as fire lit up the sky.
The crimson flames dissipated.
Tang Zheng and the bone dragon hovered in mid-air, completely unharmed.
"Roar!" A faint, colorful light flickered across the bone dragon's body as it once again let out a mighty roar.
"Th-This… How is this possible!"
The Blue Maggot King trembled all over, his writhing body falling backward. His voice was filled with a shock and panic he had never known before.
With quick reflexes, Beibeibei reached out to support the falling Blue Maggot King, his catfish-like eyes also reflecting deep shock.
During the battle not long ago, the magic cast by the Blue Maggot spellcasters had indeed failed to injure the undead creature controlled by the human.
Beibeibei had originally assumed it was because their spellcasters were too weak.
But the King was a powerful magic caster who had mastered fourth-tier magic, and he had even used fire-attribute magic, which should have inflicted immense damage on the undead.
Yet it still had no effect on the bone dragon. This was beyond their comprehension.
The air grew quiet.
A heavy pressure descended, seeming to suffocate the Blue Maggot Tribe.
"Let me go, Beibeibei."
After a brief silence, the Blue Maggot King snapped out of his stunned state and spoke softly to Beibeibei.
"King." Beibeibei was filled with reluctance, and an even deeper sense of powerlessness welled up within him.
They were utterly defeated.
On the ground, though the Ogre Race's forces were far outnumbered by their own, ogres had always been a race of low intelligence, irascible and reliant on brute force.
The real trouble lay with the three powerful ogres.
Those three alone were enough to easily shatter their defensive lines. If that were all, they could have relied on their superior numbers, eventually controlling the situation by piling up the bodies of their own people.
But the most terrifying thing was this powerful human who controlled the undead.
No magic could harm him; they couldn't even hinder him. And with his flight ability, he held complete air superiority…
*Clatter—*
The Blue Maggot soldiers at the front parted to make a path.
The Blue Maggot King moved his body forward, raised his worm-like torso, and slowly prostrated himself on the ground. "I… I… am willing to submit."
*Ting— Ting— Clang—*
The weaponry in the hands of the Blue Maggot soldiers fell to the ground, creating a dense clatter of metal.
With the Blue Maggot King's surrender, the other members of the Blue Maggot Tribe completely gave up resistance. This was their racial trait: the king's command and will were absolute.
Tang Zheng had chosen the Ogre Race and the Blue Maggot Tribe precisely because these two races possessed similar characteristics.
The war started quickly and ended just as fast. To save time, Tang Zheng had launched a full-scale magical assault, pushing through with brute force. The entire process took less than a day.
Because Tang Zheng had been at the forefront, the hundred-man ogre unit only lost half its members, while the Blue Maggot Tribe's casualties were far more tragic, reaching around 800.
