The following day, the head of the Blood Fief's leader was seen hanging in front of the gate of his mansion. It was done intentionally so that everyone could see the horrifying scene.
"The leader is dead! He has been killed!"
Soon enough, the news of the death of the Blood Fief's leader quickly spread throughout the main city like wildfire. The citizens were scared for their lives. Right now, the Blood Fief did not have a leader, so no one was going to take command.
At the same time, Rocky took the opportunity to lead the independent army and launch an attack on the main city. Since the remaining warriors and soldiers were suffering from low morale, they were easily brought down.
Soon enough, the city walls broke down and chaos spread out even further.
Not long after, several elders and Spiritual Emperors from the leader's mansion rushed over to confront the independent army with all their might.
However, as soon as Rocky displayed his strength at the Shura Realm, he was able to easily suppress the elders and the Spiritual Emperors of the Blood Fief.
After that, Rocky went on a killing spree, slaughtering the elders and the Spiritual Emperors as if he was a killing machine.
Due to Rocky's heroics and superior strength, the capital of the Blood Fief was completely captured after a day.
Except for the spirit warriors from the leader's mansion, the independent army let go of the ordinary people, driving them out of the city.
Immediately after, the independent army established a defensive arrangement throughout the city. Now that their primary goal was completed, they were to wait until the negotiation with the Shura Race was realized.
Soon enough, the news that the entire Blood Fief fell reached the royal family, as well as the other fiefs. Obviously, this caused quite a stir. No one expected that it would lose easily to some unknown force.
Two days later, the grim news also reached Zain, who was currently at the front line.
"The Blood Fief has been occupied by a human army? In exchange for the fief, they want me to withdraw my army from the territory of the human race?" When Zain heard this information, he could not help but be furious and dumbfounded at the same time.
"Your Royal Highness, is this the work of the spiritual race? Maybe they are trying to take advantage of the situation!" one of Zain's trusted subordinates speculated.
"No, I don't think so. This is likely done by the human army. Only they have the motive to make such demands. But how the hell did they get past the border of the Shura Race under our watch?" Zain uttered in disdain. His eyes narrowed as he pondered on these thoughts.
"What are we going to do now? Do we pull back?" the subordinate asked.
"Pull back? Of course not! Ask the royal family to send soldiers to reclaim the Blood Fief! I don't have time to waste playing their games!" Zain answered sternly. He knew that their current position in the territory of the human race was of great importance. The defenses of the human army were about to collapse, so it would be a total waste if he suddenly decided to retreat. In just a few days, he would be able to break through to the Ethereal Region, which would mean that his victory was already within reach.
At the same time, just as Rocky expected, all of the other fiefs were just waiting and watching how the situation would play out. None of them wanted to get involved in the chaos since it would not do them any good. At this point, only the royal family was angry enough to send a huge army consisting of fifty thousand soldiers just to take the Blood Fief back.
However, even with the efforts of the royal family, they did not expect that the army led by Rocky was formidable enough to defeat them in just three days.
Due to this another huge loss, the royal family was already getting worried and frustrated. If the eight fiefs did not make a move on their own to fight this human army, the Shura Race would eventually face such a disgrace.
At last, the royal family could only turn to Zain. They asked him to withdraw his forces from the territory of the human race in order to prioritize the matter with the Blood Fief.
