Xiao Mo's guess yesterday was not wrong.
The previous wave of Minotaurs were indeed scouts.
After discovering the Immortal and Demon territory, they tried to charge into it several times but were blocked by the protective shield.
The scouts returned to their tribe to report the situation, so the Minotaur chieftain sent an army to conquer this territory.
However, although these Minotaurs had some intelligence, they ultimately did not grasp the strength of the Immortal and Demon squad.
With the augmentation of a support-type Immortal race warrior nearing peak Tier 7.
Xian Meng'er could fully exert the strength of peak Tier 6.
There were also Xian Yi and Xian Er, both nearing low-grade Tier 6.
Mo Yi was nearing peak Tier 5.
Additionally, there were four battle soldiers nearing mid-grade Tier 5, and three battle soldiers nearing low-grade Tier 5.
How could these Minotaurs possibly withstand such strength?!
After all, their strongest only reached mid-grade Tier 6 at most!
This was not a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter.
Weapons, strength, or discipline…
In every aspect, the Minotaurs were tens of thousands of miles behind the Immortal and Demon squad.
In just over ten minutes, hundreds of the thousands of Minotaurs had fallen.
…
Within the city.
Xiao Mo ambled over to the Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool and summoned the daily quota of Immortal and Demon troops.
He gained four more Immortal and Demon battle soldiers.
Two Immortal race battle soldiers and two Demon race battle soldiers.
After the four battle soldiers were summoned, Xiao Mo arranged for them to go out and jointly face the enemy.
The Immortal and Demon squad had now grown to sixteen in size, and their strength could absolutely sweep all other lords.
Xiao Mo did not even spare a thought for the Minotaurs outside the territory.
Not to mention that the Immortal and Demon territory was in an invincible state under the protection of the novice shield.
Let alone these mere indigenous Minotaurs, how could they possibly be a match for the powerful Immortal and Demon squad?
…
At the same time, under the assault of the Immortal and Demon squad, the Minotaurs were falling one by one.
After the four newly summoned battle soldiers joined the fray, the situation became even more one-sided.
In the blink of an eye, fewer than two hundred of the thousand-plus Minotaurs remained.
The remaining two hundred Minotaurs looked at the Immortal and Demon squad, their bovine eyes filled with fear and unease.
At this moment, they seemed to see the arrival of doomsday.
The tall Minotaur leading them had its stone axe broken in two.
Its body was covered in bloodstains, and one of its massive horns was broken.
He glanced at the remaining two hundred Minotaurs, then at the Immortal and Demon squad hovering in the air.
For the first time, a look of regret appeared in his massive bovine eyes.
Now he finally knew that he had truly kicked an iron plate, and a 28k titanium alloy steel plate at that!
Nearly two hundred Minotaurs were scared witless by the Immortal and Demon squad. In their panic, they began to flee in disarray.
"Rebels!"
"You dared to invade my lord's territory and now you dare to flee!"
Xian Yi and Xian Er moved, their sturdy figures blocking the path of the Minotaurs.
Most of the Minotaurs stopped in their tracks, but a dozen or so continued to run forward mindlessly.
Thus, Xian Yi and Xian Er quickly swung their Immortal swords.
The dozen or so fleeing Minotaurs instantly turned into piles of minced meat.
Just then, a blazing white light seemed to surge from the ground, enveloping all the Minotaurs.
"Master said, leave none alive!"
"Immortal Purification Technique! Execute!"
In mid-air, Xian Qing'er, positioned at the center, spoke softly, a sacred white light flashing from her brow.
She gently waved her plain hands, her pure white long dress fluttering, and her raven black hair dancing without wind.
In the next moment, her entire being was bathed in sacred light.
Then, a pleasant chanting sound arose, and the sacred white light transformed into a sky full of light rain, slowly drifting down.
Under Xian Qing'er's chanting, the eyes of all the remaining Minotaurs turned vacant, their gazes filled with longing.
It was as if these Minotaurs were seeing something beautiful at this moment.
Several Minotaurs even went limp, drooling from the corners of their mouths.
The light rain slowly descended onto each Minotaur, instantly setting them ablaze.
Moments later, nearly two hundred Minotaurs turned into two hundred balls of incandescent flame.
But, all of this was incredibly silent!
Not to mention screams, there wasn't even the sound of insects chirping.
Ten minutes later, all two hundred Minotaurs disappeared, leaving not even a trace of ash.
However, where the tall Minotaur had disappeared, a crystal-clear soul crystal was now shining brightly.
…
Just as all the Minotaurs vanished, a golden light shot from the sky into Xiao Mo's body.
Xiao Mo felt it and quickly adapted to the power within him.
Once this power stabilized, Xiao Mo opened the [Personal Information] interface.
[Lord: Xiao Mo]
[Strength Level: Tier 3 (Bloodline Condensed)]
[Territory Level: High-Tier Territory]
[Territory Troops: Immortal and Demon (Unique Troop Type)]
[Territory Buildings: Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool]
[Equipment: None]
[Immortal and Demon Stones: 569]
[Soul Crystals: 5]
This upgrade was indeed a pleasant surprise for Xiao Mo.
He had expected it to take some more time to advance to Tier 3.
He hadn't expected that eradicating the Minotaurs this time would directly lead to his promotion!
This also demonstrated the might of the Immortal and Demon squad.
Thousands of Minotaurs, all intelligent beings, were annihilated so quickly.
And truly, none were left alive!
What was most shocking was Xian Qing'er's ultimate skill.
With a single "Immortal Purification Technique," she turned nearly two hundred Minotaurs of Tier 4 and above into nothingness.
This was simply an indispensable skill for robbery and plundering!
However, Xiao Mo also knew that these Minotaurs were different from monster races.
Their corpses could not be harvested for food.
Therefore, he did not prevent Xian Qing'er from using this group skill.
Although no food was obtained, these Minotaurs did leave behind a considerable amount of low-grade equipment such as stone weapons, rattan armor, and rolling logs.
Most importantly, the tall Minotaur leader not only left behind a soul crystal.
He also dropped a tattered ancient text detailing the Minotaur tribe.
Through the text, Xiao Mo learned that these Minotaurs were collectively called Torrens, a branch of the Orc race on the Primeval Continent.
The Torren chief was named Ryan Bloodhoof, and this tribe worshipped evil, strength, and slaughter.
Therefore, Xiao Mo had no psychological burden in completely annihilating the nearly a thousand Minotaurs who had invaded.
This was their first large-scale battle since his descent.
Although not many resources were obtained, the strength of the Immortal and Demon squad was greatly enhanced, and Xiao Mo's own strength also increased.
Thus, the gains from this encounter were substantial, and Xiao Mo was quite satisfied.
With his own strength reaching Tier 3, he could almost venture out with his Immortal and Demon squad.
After all, his territory spanned a radius of two kilometers, and as the lord, he should go out and patrol from time to time.
