Chapter 328: The Kneeling Ten Elites, The Battle of the Hills Ends
*Boom—*
Despair filled the Alliance Leader's cold, white eyes. The bones of his chest emitted a crisp crack as the piercing power of the Silver Knight's Lance effortlessly shattered his spine.
His body was torn in two in mid-air!
His magical power had long been exhausted, and his armor and various magic items had been destroyed while resisting the Archangel Dominion earlier.
*Crack!*
Having lost all effective means of defense, the Alliance Leader was pulverized by the magical attack, turning into a shower of bone fragments and a sundered body.
The silver spear, its momentum unspent, continued to blast backward, crashing into the distant jungle with a tremendous roar.
*CRASH!*
Countless trees were pierced and destroyed. A shockwave radiated from the impact, shaking the very earth.

The Alliance Leader?
The dangerous smile on Clementine's face froze. Her eyes flicked to the shattered bone fragments, her pupils contracting instinctively.
Terrifying, powerful!
The Alliance Leader, feared by all nations, was actually dead?
He hadn't died at the hands of the Archangel Dominion, which possessed the power to fight a demon god, but had instead fallen to a minor character she had completely ignored!
*Whoosh—*
Clementine's slender, powerful arms tensed in an instant, veins bulging on her hands as she forcefully threw the stiletto she was holding at Tang Zheng.
The moment the stiletto left her hand, a flash of blue lightning burst from it, transforming into a straight, piercing bolt that shot through the air toward Tang Zheng.
"Lightning Strike"
This was the third-tier spell, "Lightning Strike," infused into the stiletto through enchantment.
As if still not feeling secure, while throwing the stiletto with one hand, Clementine made the one in her other hand glow with red magical energy.
"Fireball"
This fireball was not aimed at Tang Zheng, but at the ground between them.
*BOOM!*
The fireball hit the ground and caused a massive explosion. A cloud of dust and rising flames obscured their vision.
She knew that "Teleportation" magic required a line of sight to lock onto a target and location, so she first used "Lightning Strike" to force the red-robed mage to defend, then used "Fireball" to block his view.
"Gale Stride—"
Clementine roared inwardly. A faint blue glow enveloped her body, and she retreated at an extraordinary speed, vanishing as if fleeing for her life.
This entire series of actions was completed in the space of a single breath!
As the dust settled, the Shadow Clone appeared, completely unharmed. It stared at the spot where Clementine had vanished, remaining silent for a moment before walking over to the Alliance Leader, collecting his shattered body, and disappearing.
…………
Meanwhile, on the battlefield.
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered as he silently complained, "She sure runs fast. But that's fine."
The Alliance Leader was dealt with, and his corpse was relatively intact. The next step was to resurrect him for information, an operation he was familiar with.
He also needed to observe if there was any possibility of the Alliance Leader being resurrected by someone else.
Tang Zheng mentally reviewed the entire process.
The power displayed by the Shadow Clone was within a controllable range and didn't reveal any unusual information.
The escaped Clementine was a minor problem. She now knew his identity was exposed, but this gave his Shadow Clone persona more leverage and even the initiative.
What Tang Zheng needed to consider now was the possibility of controlling Zuranon. The only troublesome part was his inability to disguise himself as an undead.
This would complicate his plan to use Zuranon to indirectly contact the Body of the Abyss, since that true secret society was composed entirely of undead members.
"Kill these detestable humans!"
"Ah—"
"Run!"
"Gather around me—"
"…………!"
The battle cries of the demi-human faction echoed from all directions.
The demi-humans could manage the ordinary angels, but the thirty-two fourth-tier Tranquility Archon Angels displayed terrifying power the moment they appeared, completely overwhelming them.
Even the stronger trio of Gagaran, "Beast General" Hector Weiss, and "Seven-Colored Scales" Kōkosh were no match for such a large number of fourth-tier angels.
Moreover, having just survived a life-and-death battle, all the demi-humans were already exhausted.
After a brief resistance, a massacre by the angels unfolded on the battlefield.
The thick stench of blood permeated the air.
Screams of pain and roars of fury echoed relentlessly across the sky!
The people of the Holy Kingdom were elated, finally venting their long-held resentment from the demi-human invasions. The Sunlight Scripture troops, however, watched the scene in silence.
Captain Nigun was dead, and Clementine was missing!
The remaining forces of the Sunlight Scripture were clearly in no mood to pay attention to this.
The Green Leaf Witch frowned, her eyes filled with a mixture of pity and indignation. Her hand tightened around her staff, her expression a mask of complexity.
Although she had no connection to these demi-humans, she was also a demi-human herself. Seeing them being slaughtered naturally struck a chord within her.
"Isn't this... a bit too cruel?"
Hearing the incessant screams, the Green Leaf Witch finally couldn't hold back and cautiously looked at the expressionless Tang Zheng beside her.
If anyone could stop this, it was her master.
Cruel?
Hearing the slight tremble in the Green Leaf Witch's voice, Tang Zheng looked at the angels flying through the air, attacking everywhere.
Humans were too weak in this world. The true cruelty was seeing humans in the center of the continent treated as food and livestock.
"I have no reason to stop them."
Tang Zheng raised his hand and gently stroked the Ghoul Dog's cheek.
His stance was on the side of the humans.
Furthermore, Tang Zheng had noticed that these angels did not attack the Green Leaf Witch, who was also a demi-human. It wasn't hard to guess why.
It was merely a deliberate arrangement on Kelart's part, a way of expressing goodwill toward him.
The Green Leaf Witch's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head.
Suddenly.
"Reason?"
The Green Leaf Witch's bright yellow pupils lit up.
She had some understanding of her master's temperament. According to his personality, he wouldn't waste words on her unless it was necessary; she just needed to obey his orders.
So—the key was "reason."
The Green Leaf Witch swallowed, her mind racing to think of a reason that could persuade her master to intervene.
After thinking it over!
The Green Leaf Witch realized there was no such "reason," or rather, with her status, she couldn't possibly offer a suitable one.
Her sister?
Not enough.
The same went for the demi-humans. They also had no... no, there was one person.
Gagaran!
This name surfaced in the Green Leaf Witch's mind. It was as if she had suddenly awoken from a deep sleep. Her throat spasmed uncontrollably, and she glanced at Tang Zheng from the corner of her eye.
Thinking about everything that had happened, the Green Leaf Witch realized with horror, could everything have been part of her master's plan?
On the earth, stained red and piled high with the blood and severed limbs of the undead.
"Firm Strike!"
Gagaran roared, swinging his spiked club, and clashed with the weapon of a Tranquility Archon Angel, the brute force knocking it back.
But in the next moment!
Two more Tranquility Archon Angels thrust their spear-like staves.
*Pfft!*
