The Dark King

Chapter 944



Chapter 944 – Chapter 934: Alien Deserters

The situation that Dudian and the others had been looking forward to didn’t appear. Instead, the Beast Tide gradually thinned out. There were many groups of beasts that left the main force and headed towards the surrounding area.

Dudian and the others met two groups of small groups of beasts that had retreated back. In the battle, two injured pioneers were killed. Currently, only Zac, Jason and Dudian were left, haisha was left.

Originally there were more than ten people in the group but in a few days there were only a few of them left.

Zac’s thoughts of escaping gradually faded. He suddenly felt that he would rather be punished than stay in the wall.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of life he would have if Dudian and Jason were gone and he was the only one left. Would he gradually lose his humanity? Would he be unable to speak in the end?

“What should we do now?”Zac and Jason looked at dudian. Even though they were used to being in a high position and had independent thoughts, they were at a loss at the moment.

Dudian’s heart was also a bit confused. He didn’t expect that such a huge attack from the alien race wouldn’t have much impact on the god of war’s wall. They often returned to the periphery of the battlefield to observe, they tried to help when the monsters were strong but they didn’t have the opportunity to do so.

The battle was about to end. Obviously, such an opportunity was impossible!

It meant that they had to choose between continuing to flee or disguising as fallen soldiers and returning to the god of war wall.

In Dudian’s opinion, it was impossible for Zac to return to the god of war wall. His wristwatch was left on the fortress. The God of war wall should have recorded the action route of his wristwatch. He could only continue to flee towards destruction.

However, his own combat system and Jason’s were closed. There was no record of their escape route. If they returned then there was a low chance that they would not be regarded as deserters. However, the technical personnel of the border guards were not fools. They were sent to the front line. The battle had lasted for so many days. There was no reason for them to survive. They must have defected.

The outcome of deserters would be death or sent to a place like the monster research institute or coolies to display their remaining value.

He sighed. He was a bit upset. He didn’t pay attention to Zac and Jason’s questions. He sat on the hillside and pondered.

Zac and Jason saw that Dudian had no idea. Their Hearts were cold. They were silent as they thought about their own way out.

Three days later, on the eighth day of the battle, a large number of monsters retreated and fled in all directions. However, the battle had continued until now. The number of monsters that survived was less than one-tenth of the previous number, the difference between the retreat and the previous orderly attack was huge. They were like headless flies that scattered in different directions.

After encountering several monsters that had fled in succession, Dudian knew that they couldn’t stay here for long. If they encountered some difficult monsters, they would most likely die here. The monsters that were able to survive in the war were either lucky or had special abilities. It was rare to see pioneer level monsters.

“Let’s go.”Dudian put away his magic body and spoke to Zach and Jason.

“Where are we going?”Zach asked.

Dudian looked at the direction of the god of war’s wall. His eyes flashed for a moment. He sighed and turned to face the front: “Continue forward!”

Zach and Jason were startled. Zach sighed. He had thought about the possibility of returning to the god of war’s wall. But the result was obvious. The invasion of foreign monsters had ended and the border guards weren’t short of people, a deserter like him would most likely be executed or sent to an extremely evil place to extract energy and rare minerals for the empire. It would be no different from death or even more painful!

Jason slightly clenched his fist and hesitated for a moment, in the end he said to dudian: “Isn’t our combat system shut down? If we return we won’t be considered as deserters right? You said that we can find other excuses and eventually be punished…”

Dudian shook his head, “It was possible but I didn’t think that the battle would last for so long!”! It had been seven or eight days and the fortress had already been breached. How could our strength hold out for so long on the battlefield? There is only one conclusion that can be explained and that is that we have defected!”

Jason didn’t give up: “We can say that after the fortress was breached we didn’t have time to escape back to the god of war. We temporarily hid in other places. Isn’t that considered as a direct defection?”

Dudian sighed, “But the higher-ups gave us a death order to defend the fortress. Only the soldiers of the god of war. There are no soldiers who are struggling to live. In their eyes, we only have one ending. We will die in the fortress. If we survive then we will be deserters!”

There was a bit of struggle in Jason’s eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But in the end he shut his mouth and didn’t say anything.

Zach was stunned as he heard their conversation: “Did you close the combat system? How did you close it?”

“It was destroyed so naturally it was closed.”Dudian didn’t elaborate, “Let’s continue to move forward. We can only try to move forward. I suspect that there might not be all monsters outside the border. It is very likely that there are humans or other intelligent life forms. Maybe we can communicate with them. For example the fire dragon alien race. If we meet them, we might be able to cooperate with them.”

“Cooperate?”Zach and Jason looked at him in doubt.

“The fire dragon alien race wants to invade the god of war wall. Naturally they want to understand the situation inside the god of war wall. If it were us, we would capture a few enemy soldiers and get information from them.”Dudian said.

Both of them reacted. Their eyes flashed with a trace of strangeness. It was worse than defecting. However, this was also one of the chances for them to survive.

“Let’s Go!”Zac was decisive.

Dudian took Aisha and continued to move forward.

There were monsters chasing after them from time to time. Fortunately, they had been paying attention to them and were hiding in advance. Few monsters noticed them as they were fleeing in panic.

They crossed the mountains, plains and wasteland and met many monsters along the way. Most of them were pioneer and master level monsters. There were few abyss level monsters. Their gloomy mood gradually brightened up.

They had met hundreds of abyss level monsters in the previous war. However, they had recovered a lot of confidence. After all, the Abyss was one of the few.

“This is the trail of the Fire Dragon!”Dudian looked at the burnt black tree in the forest. His eyes were solemn.

Zac walked forward and was about to touch it. Jason suddenly said: “Don’t touch it!”

Zac quickly retracted his hand and turned to look at him.

“This thing seems to be poisonous!”Jason picked up the dead branches from the ground. He opened the burnt black bark and saw that it was covered with sticky green sap. The sap slightly shook and changed its color when they saw it clearly, the sap was made up of countless small insects. The number of insects was terrifying.

Although it was an abyss but they were more careful than hunters. They wouldn’t easily underestimate any monster including a small insect.

The previous few people had seen the fire dragon’s flames which were enough to burn the entire tree. But at the moment it only burned a piece of bark. It was very likely that it was because of the green insects.

Dudian looked at the forest. He saw more and more trees burning in a straight line. It should be the path of the Fire Dragon.

Would it lead to the nest of the fire dragon?

Dudian’s heart was full of expectation. He didn’t know why he was looking forward to it. If he really encountered it he might die. But there seemed to be an impulse of adventure and exploration in his bones.

Roar!

Less than ten minutes after they went deep into the forest, a roar suddenly came from behind. It was hoarse and high-pitched. It was like the roar of a tiger. It was full of intimidation.

The pupils of the three people shrank. The hair on their bodies stood up. They immediately hid behind the trees.

The roar was familiar to the three people. They had heard it countless times in the past few days. It was the roar of the Fire Dragon!

Dudian hid behind the tree and stared at the back. He saw a beautiful sun-like shadow rapidly approaching. It was the shape of the fire dragon.

However, the fire dragon seemed to be seriously injured. Half of its body was broken. It would occasionally land on the ground and use its feet to exert force instead of relying on the remaining half of its wings.

Dudian’s eyes flashed as he thought of intercepting the alien fire dragon. But at this time, he suddenly saw two red dots approaching from the back of the alien fire dragon. The heat was low and it was only at the level of a pioneer.

However, how could a pioneer chase the alien fire dragon to escape? It was obvious that the other party deliberately suppressed the body heat!

Jason who was behind the big tree gave Dudian a look. Apparently, he also saw the alien fire dragon chasing after them.

Dudian gestured for them to stay still and not to attack.

At this time, the fire dragon was approaching in a straight line. Before they reached the forest, a burst of wind came from behind. It almost hit them.

The fire dragon’s body turned around and dodged the attack. However, another heat source quickly closed the distance. It launched a fierce attack as soon as it got close to the fire dragon.

At this time, the three of them could see the battle clearly with their naked eyes. The two heat source’s face was human and their body had been demonized. One of them looked like a giant crocodile. His face was elongated while the other had green curly hair, there were countless slender limbs under his body. They looked like centipedes but they were sharp like blades.

Dudian’s eyes moved as he saw the woman with green curly hair. He thought of the two children he had adopted in the giant wall of Sylvia. One of them was Gabriel and the other was Tekka. Tekka had green hair.

He had adopted them out of curiosity. At that time he hadn’t seen anyone with green hair. He thought that it was the exclusive hair color of some hidden families in the inner wall, however he hadn’t seen anyone with green hair since he had occupied the inner wall. Therefore he didn’t pay attention to Tekka. He thought that she was living on the edge of the outer wall and had been exposed to radiation all year round, he did not expect to see another person with green hair here.

However, he did not know if this person’s green hair was a transformation of the demon body, or if it was originally like this.

“Restrain it!”The man whose body was like an upright crocodile shouted and flew down. There was a pair of extremely short wings on his back. Compared to his fierce appearance, it looked a little cute. He rushed to the ground, he picked up the black spear that he had thrown earlier.

The green-haired woman twisted her body like a poisonous snake. The slender and sharp blades under her limbs waved, forcing the fire dragon alien to retreat repeatedly.

This fire dragon alien had a red flame on its surface, but there was a wisp of golden flame inside. It was actually an elite fire dragon alien whose combat strength was close to that of the upper abyss. At this moment, half of its body was broken, as if it had been cut off by something shoulder-length, the green-haired woman’s fierce attack forced it to retreat.

However, the green-haired woman didn’t dare to push too hard. Every time the fire dragon race attacked, she would retreat. She didn’t dare to be swept by the flames on its body.

The crocodile short-winged man pulled out the black spear. He was about to turn around and attack when his body suddenly paused. He rushed out with the black spear towards the fire dragon race.

Dudian’s heart sank when he saw the man’s body stop. He knew that the three of them were most likely exposed!

Dudian turned to look at Zac and Jason. Jason was still focused on the battle. Zac looked at him as if he saw that he was exposed.

Dudian nodded to Zac and raised his hand.

Zac was surprised to see Dudian’s intention. At this time, Jason also noticed Dudian’s gesture. He was surprised and looked puzzled.

“If we don’t attack then we will die!”Dudian said in a low voice.

Zac and Jason’s face changed. The two of them dared to pursue the fire dragon. It was obvious that their strength was several times stronger than theirs. It was possible that they were from the upper abyss! It could be seen from their offensive that they were faster and fiercer than the previous orangutan instructor!

However, they were from the three inferior abyss. Even if it was a sneak attack, they were a bit timid.

“We can escape!”Zac made a hand gesture.

Dudian frowned slightly. Escaping was indeed a method. He wanted to see if he could kill the two men during the sneak attack. If he could do so, he might be able to send their bodies back to the god of war wall, in exchange for a chance to live!

After all, these two people were from the upper abyss. The higher-ups wouldn’t think that they were killed by him. Even if they thought that he was a deserter, they might be able to forgive him. If these two people had a strong background then he would send their bodies back.., perhaps they would be protected by the people behind them.

However, Zach and Jason had no intention to attack. They wouldn’t try their best to force them.

Without their help, it was too risky to rely on him and Aisha alone.

Dudian made a gesture. “Let’s wait and see.”
