577 War Overlord (4.17)
The shadow Hound still had its previous memories.
the cloaked man with the dog whistle was douglas, the dog trainer from the alien planet.
The shadow Hound transmitted the memory of the battlefield to Douglas through the antennae on its head, allowing Douglas to see how the wastelandâs pet Army defeated the advance Army composed of shadow hounds and demonic creatures.
After checking its memory, dog trainer Douglas finally noticed the unique gray-skinned shadow dog in front of him.
The other shadow dogs were red-skinned, but this one was gray-skinned. in addition, he could feel that this shadow dogâs strength was better than the other shadow dogs.
Douglas touched it. His hand was cold. His tentacle-like fingers slid over the shadow Houndâs skin and finally stopped on its forehead.
Biological mutations and unexpected situations happened from time to time. Douglas was only amazed by the strength of the gray-skinned shadow dog and did not doubt anything else. As a dog trainer on an alien planet, Douglas âposition was somewhat similar to that of a Vanguard. Every time an alien planet invaded another planet, he would lead the shadow dog Army as the vanguard.
Some shadow hounds would encounter some accidents when they attacked planets. some accidents were malignant, while others were benign, which would improve the ability of the shadow dog. For example, the shadow dogâs thick-skinned double resistance was actually obtained by accident. With the thick-skinned double resistance, the shadow dogâs ability to resist attacks was improved, so Douglas began to breed these stronger shadow dogs, which led to the now fearsome alien shadow dog.
In addition to his higher dual resistance, the power of shadow surged. Douglas also found that the gray-skinned shadow dogâs brain capacity was larger, and it was smarter and more humanlike. The tentacle glowed red and left a diamond-shaped mark on the shadow Houndâs forehead.âFrom now on, you are the leader of the shadow hounds.â
the shadow hound understood what he meant. it turned around and opened its bloody mouth, letting out a gurgling sound to release pressure.
All the shadow hounds present, after sensing the mark left by the dog trainer and the strong pressure of the shadow Hound itself, all prostrated themselves to show their submission.
A steady stream of otherworldly demons and shadow hounds entered the unstable portal, but before the shadow hounds could leave, the torn portal shrank rapidly, like a big eye of kaziland squinting, leaving only a very small gap.
And below the portal was a circle of flashing light.
If one looked closely, they would find that these lights were all plasma. All the plasma flowed out from the black tubes outside the array, and the rubber tubes led deep into the array.
Douglas waved his hand, signaling the shadow Hound to follow him. it seems like there are a lot of things to report today.
The shadow Hound followed Douglas all the way from the island forest to the road. The so-called road was not specially built. The hard soil and the surrounding bushes and weeds that had been stepped on all indicated that this was a âroadâ that had been trampled on.
Along the way, the shadow Hound saw the camp where the otherworldly demons lived. Compared to the more than 100 otherworldly demons in the last battle, there were hundreds here, living in primitive and simple tents, guarded by a gray metal-armored creature similar to the head Warden.
He continued to walk up until he reached the highest point on the west side of the island, where a Stone Hall appeared.
Every single hole in the stone Hall was exuding a powerful pressure that even the shadow Hound was afraid of.
Douglas walked into the stone Hall and walked around the stone screen. A huge table appeared in front of him. In the middle of the table, there was a holographic planet suspended in mid-air. This planet was the wasteland. At the side of the Round Table, there was a âgiantâ with greenish-gray skin.
the giant was three to four meters tall. even sitting at the round table, one could see its size.
He wore a red and gold helmet with a horn-like protrusion on the top, giving him an extraordinary aura. One of his arms had a shoulder armor of a similar color, and his strong upper body was exposed. One could clearly see the cracks on his body that were emitting void energy, like cracked ground, and his firm muscles contained explosive energy. The skull-shaped waist guard and knee guard both gave off a sense of danger.
âMy Lord, I have something to report.â Douglas, who was high and mighty in front of the shadow dog, became very respectful when he came to this place.
the war lordâs red eyes under the helmet moved from the holographic wasteland to douglas, signaling him to continue.
âThe first wave of the Army made up of shadow dogs and demonic beasts failed. They have been completely annihilated.â
The war Overlord was stunned for a moment, and his sharp eyes were full of questions.
When foreign planets invaded low-tier planets to plunder resources, they would always send out shadow dogs and foreign-type demon armies, and they were always successful.
Although they were summoned here, wasteland planet was just a low-level life planet in the [ van TI system ]. Both Douglas and Tulu found it hard to believe that they could wipe out the first wave of legions. Tens of thousands of shadow dogs and over a Hundred Demons had been annihilated by the enemy.
Douglas walked to the stone table and pressed his tentacle-like hands against the table. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, the holographic image of the abandoned planet in the center of the stone table disappeared and was replaced by the image of the shadow dog and the demonic beast being killed by the enemy on the battlefield. countless tiny insects surrounded the shadow dog like a tide, nibbling away at it bit by bit. This was not a war, but a one-sided massacre.
Tulu fell into silence. He had never expected this to be the outcome.
perhaps itâs time to reevaluate wasteland. The War Lord Tulu recovered his mind. The native humans of the wasteland were useless in the face of the shadow Dogs and Demons. The real threat was the small but numerous insects and plants.
Looking at the battle scene, these animals and insects had a clear division of labor, as if they had a unified mind to coordinate their actions. Tulu was very interested in this. If they could take over the wasteland and find a way to control these creatures, the alien planet would have another powerful force in terms of conquering cities.
â doug, i think itâs necessary to have a good talk with the local people who warmly invited us to visit. â
Douglas left the stone Palace with the shadow Hound. He told Tulu the news, and his mission was considered complete. Tulu took care of the rest. His job was to train the shadow dog, and nothing else. Moreover, Douglas did not think that a victory on the wasteland would change anything. The alien planet needed the resources of other planets, resources in various meanings.
The defeat of the Army this time had instead revealed the unique resources of the wasteland, which would only make the alien planet more determined to occupy this planet.
When Douglas arrived at the building on the mountainside, Dean and Aziz quickly went up to him. They spoke in a respectful tone, with a hint of flattery, â âRespected dog trainer, what advice do you have?â
With disdain in his eyes, Douglas snorted. âhis lordship has something to ask you.â After saying that, he turned around and left.
he had never been kind to people who sold out their home planet. Douglas was not an alien. He looked very different from a pure-blood alien like Tulu, and the tentacles on his body were completely caused by a curse. Back when the alien planet attacked his mother planet, he fought back with all his might. Unfortunately, he was no match for the alien planet and became its slave.
The alien planet had used these slaves for all sorts of human experiments, and many of them had died. Douglas survived the experiment and gained the ability to command the shadow dog, but the price was that he had turned into a ghost with tentacles on his hands, feet, and chin. In addition, they were also branded by the alien planet. Once they had any thoughts of rebellion, they would suffer the pain of being deeply etched in their hearts.
He had always been disdainful of people who betrayed their mother planet for benefits.
Dean and Aziz looked at each other with a trace of worry in their eyes. They could not help but speed up and catch up: âLord Dao GE, may I ask when the Lord is looking for us?â
Douglas glanced at the two of them and thought to himself that they were cowards. in todayâs first official battle, the alien army has been completely annihilated. Does the Lord think you have hidden some information? â
Douglas âwords were vague and did not fully say it, but Dean and Azizâs faces had already turned pale.
They had never thought that the first alien army attack would be stopped by link and wiped out.
Their minds went blank.
They had seen the power of the alien planet, whether it was the shadow dogâs terrifying double resistance and agility, or the otherworldly demonâs strong body and ability to play with time, it was definitely a dimensional attack on the wasteland. However, they didnât think that such a lineup would be wiped out by the wasteland. Such an outcome wasnât within their scope of consideration.
âthank you, lord doug, for telling me.â dean and aziz were both dazed as they staggered towards the stone palace while supporting each other.
the atmosphere in the stone hall was heavy. tulu saw the two and asked, â âDid you two forget to say something about this defeat on the alien planet?â
Aziz was an old man. Under the pressure of the war Overlord, his forehead was covered in sweat and his breathing was rapid.
Dean swallowed hard. He hesitated for a moment before he said,âif my lord wants to know anything, we will definitely tell you everything we know.â
Tulu waved his hand and played the picture that Douglas captured again.
On the battlefield, the shadow dogs and the otherworldly demons were killed by the insects without any restraint, and they had no power to fight back.
Seeing this scene, Dean and Aziz became dumbfounded and their lips turned pale.
âi need an explanation from you.â
Dean and Aziz looked at each other. Linkâs strength was beyond their imagination. He could even easily defeat an alien army. In the beginning, they still had the intention to hide it, but in this situation, if they continued to hide it, the alien star would be unhappy and wave his hand to lead the Army away. The two of them would be completely dumbfounded.
âWe need to start from a year ago.â
Tulu asked the two to leave.
Dean and Aziz bowed and hurriedly left the stone Hall as if they had been granted Amnesty.
He was a Druid who could change the abilities of animals and a rapidly rising King.
This was the most powerful man in the wasteland that the two of them had mentioned.
The holographic image on tulushiâs table kept replaying the scene of shadowhoundâs defeat. All kinds of insects in the image had supernatural abilities. Metal spiders, ants, explosive rats, and vines with hallucinatory effects gathered together to form a sea of insects.
Once the energetic shadow dog was wrapped in it, it would be like drowning in water, quickly losing its combat power and becoming a fish.
tuluâs eyes became sharper and sharper. he was interested in the new king of the wasteland.
if they could capture this person, then the alien planet would have one more powerful general on the road to war in the future. controlling a sea of zergs, together with the shadow dog, was enough to sweep any low-tier planet.
Tulu pulled out a black stone from his belt and held it in his hand.
Cracking sounds could be heard from his palm, and the black stone was quickly ground into black powder.
Sha Sha Sha Sha
The black powder fell from Tuluâs hand onto the stone table and gathered in the center of the table as if it was being pulled by something.
A moment later, all the black powder was suspended in the position of the holographic image, and gradually condensed into a human face in the air.
Tulu, shouldnât you be attacking wasteland planet right now? why did you summon me? â
tulu stood up, put one arm on his chest, and lowered his head. Sir, thereâs a problem with the attack on wasteland. I need more powerful troops to support me.
the black face of the âlordâ in the air showed a trace of anger.âWhatâs wrong? They encountered intense resistance on the wasteland and suffered heavy losses?â
Tulu didnât answer. He buried his head deeper.
âTulu, your failure disgraces me.â
Sir, please be sure to reinforce some powerful troops. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.
âIs that person still with you?â
âI donât dare to interrupt his research,â Tulu said.
The black-faced avatar was silent for a moment. since that person is also on the wasteland, Iâll give you one more chance. Iâll send the Army Vanguard and war emissaries. This will be the last reinforcement. Weâve discovered a few new low-level planets in the [ Fandi system ], and we still have to leave some troops to guard against the [ first order ]. If you fail again, you donât have to come back.â
Tuluâs lips curled up when he heard the word âVanguardâ and âMessenger of war.â His Crimson eyes glowed.âIâll definitely complete the mission and make the alien planet great again!â
tulu hesitated for a moment before he said, â âSir, what is the identity of that person?â
Blackface had a rare solemn expression on his face as he warned, â â this is personally arranged by the commander. all you have to do is not to interfere with that person. if he has any requests, you must complete them at the first moment. your priority is higher than the invasion. â
As soon as he finished speaking, the black face crumbled into powder and fell on the stone table.
Tulu was relaxed. The Adjutant had promised to send the vanguard and the war Messenger, so there was no need to worry about the wasteland.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet that person.
