Chapter 230 - 230: “Battleship” (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Phantom Maiden’s voice carried a gentle tone, recognizing that the battle was reaching its conclusion. If not for the pallor on her face, she would indeed be a vision of beauty.
Unfortunately, she was severely injured in the battle with Kui Yuan.
Even her spirit body showed signs of collapse.
With that, Phantom Maiden led the remaining Phantom Horn race members back to Phantom City.
As for Kui Yuan, although he had the intention to stop Phantom Maiden, his gaze landed on the battlefield that was already covered in blood. In the end, he did not chase after her.
Should Phantom Maiden depart, it would undoubtedly be another element of the set traps. Even if he managed to return unscathed, his mission this time would still be deemed a failure, and King Mandrill would not spare him.
At this thought, Kui Yuan descended from the sky.
He surveyed the battlefield and concluded that the Mandrill race had not suffered substantial losses. However, all the Forest race members he had brought with him had perished.
“Kui Ba, Kui wu, Kui Li!”
As Kui Yuan spoke, two figures emerged from the battlefield.
“Kui Ba has disappeared!”
Kui Li, who was at the side, had a look of disbelief.
Kui Ba’s strength was at Transcendent Level 5 like the two of them. Even if 100,000 Forest race members rebelled, Kui Ba would not die on the battlefield, not to mention that the Mandrill race was also beside him.
How could he suddenly disappear?
“Find him!”
Kui Yuan’s expression turned cold as he looked at the other Forest race members.
He was hesitating if he should slaughter all the Forest race members so that they would not be controlled by Phantom Maiden.
It had to be said that apart from being vigilant, Kui Yuan also had a ruthless heart.
However, in the end, he did not do so. If he killed all the Forest race members, he would only have 50,000 Mandrill race troops left.
Just as the Mandrill race was resting and searching for Kui Ba…
Xu Ding, who was in the mountain, left silently with the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry.
“General, that Mandrill race member doesn’t belong to the Mandrill race at all.” “After we tracked him, we observed that he bore black patterns. Apart from his outward appearance, they share the same traits as the Thousand Hands race mentioned by General Song.”
“Thousand Hands race?”
Xu Ding’s eyes were solemn. He did not expect the Thousand Hands race to be involved in the war between the Mandrill race and the Phantom Horn race.
What was even more terrifying was that the Thousand Hands race’s appearance was actually that of the Mandrill race.
This made Xu Ding curious.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Xu Ding resolved to investigate the intentions of the Thousand Hands race, whose resemblance to the Mandrill race intrigued him.
After trailing them for an indeterminate duration, Xu Ding noted that the
Thousand Hands race had returned to the vicinity of the battlefield, but the Mandrill race had already departed. It appeared as though they were headed in the direction of Phantom City.
“This is…”
Xu Ding frowned slightly. The Thousand Hands race had returned to the mountain where he had brought the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry to observe the battlefield.
“General, that Thousand Hands race member seemed to have jumped down.”
A soldier who was observing the Thousand Hands race member had disbelief in his eyes.
Behind the mountain was a cliff, and the Thousand Hands race member jumped down from it.
“General!”
The soldier pointed at the cliff. He was hesitating if he should jump down too.
“Follow him!”
Xu Ding’s eyes were solemn. The Thousand Hands race member was strange. If he did not follow, he felt that he would miss something.
However, it was a cliff, so he did not dare to jump down casually. Xu Ding picked up a stone from the cliff and threw it down. “Hmm, it didn’t land on the ground. Is it too high?”
There was no echo, which made Xu Ding’s eyes light up.
This mountain wasn’t exceptionally high. Even a stone the size of a human head should produce an echo upon landing.
This meant that there was something wrong with this cliff!
“100 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry, follow me down! The rest, guard the cliff.”
Xu Ding decided to lead the 100 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry down to investigate.
“General, are you sure?!”
“Cut the crap. There’s certainly something amiss with that Thousand Hands race member! Additionally, stay vigilant regarding the conflict between the
Mandrill race and the Phantom Horn race. If anything arises, head back to the
Green Lotus Territory without delay and alert the lord!”
With that, Xu Ding jumped down from the cliff with the 100 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry.
However, after jumping down, Xu Ding felt as if he had jumped into water.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The 100 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry followed behind him and landed on the ground.
“General, the ground seems to be metal.”
A soldier said with a puzzled expression.
Upon landing, there were audible noises, mainly because the ground was composed of metal.
“I knew there was something wrong with the cliff.”
Xu Ding looked around.
Even at the base of the cliff, it was evident that significant alterations had been made. The entire ground was encased in metal, devoid of any vegetation, and featured a solitary passageway.
“Let’s go. Be careful.”
Xu Ding’s gaze was solemn. The Thousand Hands race member had disappeared. Xu Ding was unfamiliar with the surroundings. He did not know what the bottom of the cliff was for.
Then, he led the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry into the passageway.
Just as Xu Ding explored the interior with the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry…
Lin Zifeng, Yan Zhen, and Song Yubai stood on the Dark Wall.
Not far ahead, a figure peered out from the Dark Wall.
“Yubai, have the Thousand Hands race not returned?” Mei Changge turned around and asked Song Yubai.
“My lord, the Thousand Hands race hasn’t made a return.”
Song Yubai nodded and said respectfully.
“Since they’re not coming…
Mei Changge’s tone was calm. Then, his consciousness shifted.
Rumble!
The Dark Wall began to tremble violently as if there was an earthquake.
“Expand!”
Initially, the expansion rate of the Dark Wall was rather slow, but that was due to Mei Changge’s deliberate restraint.
Since he planned to take advantage of the war between the Mandrill race and the Phantom Horn race to quickly expand into No Man’s Land, there was no need to suppress it anymore.
“Use the Dark Wall as a ‘battleship’ and expand towards No Man’s Land!”
“Song Yubai! Lin Zifeng! Yan Zhen!”
Mei Changge had a serious expression and compared the Dark Wall to a ‘battleship’. He looked at Song Yubai and the other two.
“Yes, my lord!”
“The Dark Wall extends by a 3-mile radius every day towards No Man’s Land. I intend for that 3-mile radius to become the territory of our Green Lotus Territory!”
“Understood!”
When the three of them heard Mei Changge mention the speed of the Dark Wall’s expansion, their eyes revealed fire and fighting spirit.
“We will undoubtedly establish the Green Lotus Territory as a renowned name among the foreign races!”
“Hahaha, good. I’ll wait for the triumphant return of the soldiers in Green Cloud City!”
When Mei Changge heard Song Yubai’s words, a smile appeared on his face. Then, his figure disappeared from the Dark Wall.
“Prepare for battle! ”
Song Yubai said to Lin Zifeng and Yan Zhen with a serious expression.
“Okay!”
The two of them nodded at the same time and began to gather the soldiers they had brought.
At that moment, the Dark Wall seemed to have transformed into a battleship and began to expand into No Man’s Land.
However, because there were not many foreign races around the Dark Wall, they did not encounter any foreign races in the beginning.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. The Dark Wall had expanded by 9 miles.
“The foreign races have entered the fog! ”
Lin Zifeng immediately noticed the foreign races walking in the fog.
The Dark Wall was shrouded in fog, but it did not affect them.
Three miles away from the Dark Wall, Lin Zifeng and the others saw a small gathering place of foreign races.
“Zifeng, leave them to me. You guys guard the Dark Wall!”
Song Yubai’s expression turned serious as he spoke to Lin Zifeng and Yan Zhen.
“No, I’ll do it this time. The two of you guard the Dark Wall!”
Yan Zhen shook his head and rejected Song Yubai’s suggestion.
“It’s important to guard the Dark Wall. I think you should stay behind, General Song. I’ll deal with them.”
Lin Zifeng said with a serious expression.
Just as the three of them were discussing who would be the first to set off, a voice came from behind them..
