Chapter 907: Chain Reaction! Fortress Collapse!
"Hahaha! Another batch of feed incoming!"
"Did that non-specialist not even check some intel on our fortress? There's no way the Kingdom legions are still keeping secrets at this point, right?"
"Or maybe he's just overconfident in his own decisions. Just wait—once he sees all forty billion puppets swallowed, his expression will be quite the show…"
The demon soldiers and even the Demon Emperors atop the walls were all smiling, waiting for a spectacle.
Two minutes later—
The puppet armies from all directions had truly arrived at the fortress walls!
Facing the forty billion puppet army charging the fortress, the flesh fortress [Lemoris] fully awakened!
The walls suddenly came alive. Already covered in blood-colored moss, they began sprouting flesh tentacles.
Demon eyes and massive mouths 'grew' from the fortress walls.
The vine-like flesh tentacles thrashed wildly and swept toward the puppet armies!
Boom!!
Just a single slam from one of those tentacles caused a terrifying shockwave that crushed thousands of puppets into scraps!
Immediately after…
Swoosh!!
The tentacles swept up the mangled remains and flung them into gaping mouths.
Those mouths chewed and devoured the pieces with a dreadful crunching sound.
This was the advantage of puppet soldiers.
Even when their comrades were dying like ants before their eyes, these puppets—crafted from the corpses and souls of demon soldiers—charged forward without fear.
You might not believe it…
But under these circumstances—
In just five minutes…
Four hundred million puppets had already been devoured at each wall segment.
The sheer amount of 'food' was so high—
The flesh walls couldn't digest them fast enough and kept devouring wildly.
Ten minutes later—
Less than half of the forty billion puppet troops remained!
Watching from above, the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord burst into laughter.
He looked mockingly at the human before him and taunted, "See that? Your so-called forty billion army is nothing before my carefully guarded Lemoris Fortress!"
"Forget these forty billion. Back when the united forces of all Kingdoms marched to my gates with over two hundred billion troops, they still couldn't take me down!"
"And in the end, wasn't it I who held them off and counterattacked?"
"You human legions had to retreat, defeated and humiliated!"
This glorious past was always his proudest boast.
Back then, he alone led all demon troops and held the fortress!
Today's scene was nothing to him.
Seeing his smug face, Ling Zhan simply said, "In our Dragon Kingdom, we have a saying—'Joy turns to sorrow.'"
"How can you be so sure you're the victor?"
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord snorted and said, "Enough talk, brat. When we fight, I hope you give it your all. If I beat you in one blow, it'll be boring. I actually have high hopes for you, the so-called legendary non-specialist!"
After guarding this fortress for years, the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord was admittedly a bit bored.
Ling Zhan glanced at the battlefield and murmured, "Almost there…"
The forty billion puppet army was now reduced to a scattered three to four billion.
Lemoris had devoured them even faster than Ling Zhan expected!
But it was exactly what he intended.
Snap!!
At this moment, Ling Zhan snapped his fingers.
The instant his fingers snapped—
Almost simultaneously—
Boom boom boom boom!!
The remaining billions of puppet troops suddenly self-destructed!
The demon soldiers and Demon Emperors on the walls looked puzzled.
As they wondered why the flesh puppets had suddenly exploded—
"Aaaah!!"
A piercing, miserable scream echoed from the brain region at the center of the fortress!
"Huh!?"
All of the Ten Thousand Demons turned their heads in shock.
What they saw left them utterly dumbfounded!
The brain mass, carefully protected by the Demon Emperors, was now violently shaking and emitting painful wails.
The entire fortress began to quake as if hit by a massive earthquake!
"What the…"
"What's going on?"
"Why is [Lemoris] going berserk!?"
The entire Ten Thousand Demons army was confused!
The Demon Emperors guarding the brain quickly investigated—and were horrified!
"This is bad! Something's wrong with the puppet troops!"
"There's an SSS-class deactivation potion inside them targeting flesh-based organisms!"
The Demon Emperors guarding the brain had to not only be powerful—
But also skilled in maintaining, preserving, and treating the fortress brain.
That Demon Emperor immediately identified the reason for the fortress's outburst!
"Shit!"
"Retreat!"
"The walls are collapsing!"
A panicked shout.
The flesh walls began to deflate like popped balloons!
Like paper soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid, they crumpled and withered!
Hmm…
Seems the deactivation potion, developed jointly by the world's top magical and pharmaceutical researchers over hundreds or even thousands of years, really worked fast!
The potion's effect didn't just dissolve the limbs of the flesh fortress—
It also spread through the nervous system, directly affecting the brain!
Even worse…
"Healing spells are useless!"
"This potion has high-level healing reduction effects too!"
"It's over! At this rate, the fortress brain will completely crash!"
"If it doesn't recover within half an hour, the whole flesh fortress will be scrapped!"
The Demon Emperors' calm expressions had turned into pure panic!
The fortress brain was extremely 'fragile.'
Any mishap could impact it severely.
Once the fortress brain collapsed, the entire fortress would rot and crumble!
Why else did you think it needed ten Demon Emperors to guard it year-round?
At this moment—
High above, ten thousand meters in the air—
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord, having received word from his subordinates, no longer wore a calm expression!
