962 The pressure of Mount Tai
Ten days later, in the vast mountains to the North of high firmament city.
A long team, like a giant snake, slithered out of the canyon Road in the distance and headed north. The team was holding the flag of the Holy Kingdom of GRU-blue background, Palace and flame decorated with white stars. The power represented by this flag was not outstanding among the many Holy kingdoms in the eastern barren region of the White Horse, dark light continent. However, in this desolate wilderness where there were not many people, this flag was particularly striking.
However, not knowing whether it was because there was no wind in the canyon, the flag of the team was hanging on the flagpole listlessly. Although this team looked overbearing with so many people, it felt loose and dejected at this moment.
But even so, when that group arrived, they still scared some of the animals and insects in the valley into flying up in fear.
In the front of the team were 5 Giants higher than 15 m. They were like 5-storey buildings. Their faces were as simple and solemn as rocks. With twisted muscles all over, they were topless and only wore huge tent-like cloth skirts from their waists to their knees. They were carrying terrifying Wolf-fanged clubs which were modified from battering rams on their shoulders.
There was no road in the valley in the wilderness at first. It was overgrown with weeds, thistles, and stones everywhere. However, after the five Giants ‘feet passed by, a path was opened on the ground, which allowed the troops behind to follow the Giants’ footsteps.
Behind the giant were 20 Treemen who were about 10 m in height. Being a bit shorter than the giant, they were like big trees. They didn’t walk upright; instead, they lay flat on the ground. Under these Treemen were a swarm of black centipedes. Each Treeman had dozens of military centipedes. Like conveyor belts, these military centipedes were carrying the Treemen forward constantly.
As the Treemen moved slowly, they could not keep up with the marching speed of the Army. Therefore, when the Army set out, if there were Treemen, they would be transported by those huge centipedes like Masters.
Behind these treants were a mix of Light Infantry, Wolf cavalry, engineers, and Worgen. Because of the low morale, the cavalry, infantry, humans, and Worgen could no longer maintain their formation, and the formation was a little scattered and chaotic.
Those Worgens were about 2 meters tall, and they looked very strong. However, when they got close to the Worgen riders, they would scare the Worgen riders. The Worgen riders would yell at them, and the Worgen would also show their teeth and roar at them.
There was a limpid stream flowing in the canyon. In order to drink some water, those light infantrymen and engineers started to argue and push each other on the Riverside. Not until a commissioned officer shouted loudly and rushed over there by horse and whipped them did the marching order recover.
The 30 treants lying on the marching centipedes were in charge of bringing up the rear.
There were white clouds above and in front of the team while some grey Eagles were circling above and in front of them. Those grey Eagles were the eyes of the mages in the team, who were overlooking the situation on the ground.
Of course, there were more birds in the sky. Some birds were circling in the surrounding sky after being scared away. Therefore, they were not eye-catching.
A Grey Eagle was flying over 5000 m away in front of the team as it glanced over the ground with sharp eyes. It was a perilous land. On both sides of the narrow canyon were steep and high mountain peaks. The difference between the mountain peaks and the canyon was over 1000 m. The mountain peaks were covered with craggy rocks while some sword-like mountain peaks were standing silently.
The Grey Eagle circled the sky above the valley twice, but its sharp eyes did not find anything unusual. It then flew over the dangerous Valley and continued forward.
The team from high firmament city was actually hiding on the mountains on both sides of the canyon. The entire team had been hidden by Xia Pingan’s illusion of the Beacon fire toying with the feudal vassals. The team that was as quiet as a mountain had become the grass, stones, and air on the mountain, completely blending in with the surrounding mountains. The Gray Eagle did not have the ability to see through the spell, so it was naturally unable to discover it. The team behind them continued to follow them.
“That Grey Eagle is interesting!” Xia ping ‘an, who was riding on the back of the flying Scorpion King, looked at the Gray eagle in the sky and muttered to himself. This Gray Eagle was something that had been summoned by the Army mages of the Holy Kingdom of GE Lu. Naturally, Xia ping’ an would not be tempted by these few birds. What really tempted him were the mages in the Army.
The mages were summoned by GRU, and the summoned mages had the ability to cast spells. This made Xia Pingan very envious.
“It seems that there are still many interesting realm beads that I haven’t fused with. I wonder what realm bead this is that can summon mages? Is it from Luban, Zhu youshu, or those Taoist sects, or is it from the curse master of the Tang Dynasty, Lao Ai?”
As Xia ping ‘an muttered to herself, countless Chinese ancient books and historical stories related to the sect’s spells flashed through her mind.
For ordinary people, sorcery seemed to only exist in legends. However, those who truly understood history knew that the way of sorcery was real and had a long history. In the history of China, sorcery had a profound impact on the country’s history. The most famous one was the witchcraft case of Emperor Wu of Han. In the Tang Dynasty, sorcerers who were proficient in secret curses became a profession recognized by the court. They were called curse doctors. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a secret story in Buddhism. An ordinary farmer who had successfully mastered the secret incantation wanted to see what the Emperor in the Forbidden City looked like. Then, the farmer really appeared in front of the Emperor and gave him a big shock. After the Emperor asked for the reason, he was also shocked. Since then, according to the Royal Decree, the secret incantation in the Buddhist sutras published in the world had been deleted. The spells of the Chinese Daoist were also broad and profound. The spells of the heavenly Masters, Maoshan, Yinshan, shenxiao, and other sects were also impressive and had the power to reach the heavens and earth.
“My Lord, the enemy is weak. We will win this battle!” Xue Rengui, who was riding on a flying Scorpion beside Xia ping ‘an, looked at the troops from the divine Kingdom of GE Lu that were gradually approaching from the distance. His eyes lit up as he whispered and licked his lips. He couldn’t help but rub his fists and wipe his palms.
Xia Pingan smiled and looked at Han Xin, ” how can you be so sure that GRU will choose this path to retreat and not the original one? ”
Han Xin was also looking at the approaching army of the divine Kingdom of GE Lu. When he heard Xia Pingan’s question, he only smiled and said, ” the enemy commander immediately ordered a retreat after knowing that something had happened to the logistics team. He was unwilling to take the risk to attack high firmament city, which shows that he is a cautious person. The traces left by their troops along the way are too obvious. Although he doesn’t know who attacked the logistics team of the divine Kingdom of GE Lu, the enemy’s strength is obviously very strong.”In order to prevent another ambush from an unknown enemy, it is necessary to choose a new retreat route. After considering the movement of the Holy Kingdom of GRU’s Army, the distribution of resources along the way, the route, the marching schedule, and concealment, there aren’t many routes left for him to return to the Holy Kingdom of GRU, even though this wilderness is tens of thousands of miles long and has millions of mountains. The one below us is the most likely one!”
Han Xin’s military tactics were almost demonic!
Xia ping ‘an nodded, ” great general, you’ve worked hard in this battle. After this battle, high firmament city will be even more stable, and we won’t have to work so hard in the future!
“I wonder how much divine power high firmament city gained from the last ambush?”
Speaking of his previous harvest, Xia Pingan smiled and said a number, ” more than 120000 points!
“Right now, there aren’t many troops that can be used in high firmament city. Every soldier is precious. If there are any remaining Giants or mages, I’ll have to trouble my Lord to personally take action!” Han Xin bowed to Xia Pingan and pleaded.
Xia ping ‘an nodded calmly. In fact, even if Han Xin did not say anything, he would not sit back and do nothing. The threat of those Giants and mages was huge, and Xia ping’ an did not want the little wealth that she had painstakingly accumulated to be wasted in the hands of those Giants and mages.
The team from high firmament city was quietly waiting here.
Not long after, the divine Kingdom of GRU’s team arrived. The few Giants in front stepped into the dangerous Canyon without any hesitation, and the troops behind followed one after another without any vigilance.
Just as the 15000-strong team entered the canyon, Xia Pingan finally waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
The flying scorpions that had gathered below the straight and steep mountains on both sides of the canyon lifted their huge pincers and started to push and pull the straight and steep mountains like hundreds of bulldozers at the same time.
Only after a few seconds, with an earth-shaking boom, some high mountain peaks on both sides of the canyon collapsed at once. At the same time, tens of thousands of tons of boulders fell from the sky and rolled down the canyon along the precipitous cliffs in an overwhelming way.
This commotion was simply heaven-shaking and earth-shattering.
The moment the mountain peak that collapsed toward the bottom of the canyon smashed down, it brought along even more rubble that flew and smashed into the canyon.
The divine Kingdom of GRU’s troops below the canyon were stunned. They felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly, and in the next second, the sky darkened slightly. When they looked up, they saw countless huge rocks rolling down from the towering peaks on both sides, causing the rubble to fly through the air.
The big ones were as big as houses, while the small ones were as big as watermelons or fists. Who could resist such rocks falling from over 1000 m in height?
After standing still for a few seconds, the team of over 10000 people instantly became flurried. They just squeezed into a ball in the narrow valley and wanted to find the way out. However, there was no way out. It was impossible for them to retreat or rush out of the valley.
Because of the panic, some people wanted to move forward, while others wanted to move backward. This group of more than 10000 people squeezed noisily into the narrow valley, and they were all shouting and neighing as they squeezed together.
However, at this moment, fluster and fear didn’t work. Only after 10 seconds, the shadow of the rolling rocks in the sky expanded rapidly in everyone’s eyes while the huge rocks directly hit the team.
BOOM! BOOM!
A huge rock the size of a house rolled down, turning hundreds of people in the canyon into a bloody pulp. They turned into light and disappeared.
The five Giants at the front were like paper under the giant rock.
The moment the huge rock rolled down, the 3 giants at the front were immediately crushed by the huge rocks, and with a loud roar, they disappeared into thin air.
After the huge rock fell to the ground, it split into several big pieces and rolled rapidly on the ground, crushing the 7 – 8 Treemen who had not stood up yet. The smaller rocks flew in all directions like cannonballs and bullets, penetrating a large number of soldiers ‘bodies.
The falling rocks were like the might of heaven and earth. It was simply difficult to resist.
Rocks continued to fall, and the canyon was filled with people who had turned into light and disappeared. People who had been hit and buried were everywhere.
The soldiers and cavalrymen wailed and screamed. They wanted to hide, but it was all in vain. There was simply no place to hide in the canyon. Smoke and dust rose up in the canyon, and rocks fell like rain. Rocks kept rolling down from the mountain above the soldiers of the divine Kingdom of GE Lu.
In less than two minutes, when there were no more boulders rolling down from above, less than one-third of the divine Kingdom of GRU’s troops were left in the canyon. Many of them were injured, and the entire team was still in shock as they were blocked in the canyon.
Then, the remaining troops of the divine Kingdom of GRU saw giant scorpions appear on the top of the canyon. The giant scorpions ran down the steep mountain as if they were on flat ground.
...
kill them! Xue Rengui roared. He was the first to rush down the mountain on his flying Scorpion. The flying Scorpion ran as if it were flying on the vertical mountain wall. The moment he roared, Xue Rengui had already shot an arrow at the target below.
Although the distance was a thousand meters, the arrows would gradually increase in speed and power as they fell from the sky. It would be even more difficult for the people below to resist them.
When Xue Rengui shot the arrow, the Templar Warriors also threw their short Spears from above.
The battle in the sky also started in a split second. Some warship birds in the sky immediately swarmed over from all directions and surrounded the grey Eagles, making a rustling sound.
ah! the general of the divine Kingdom of guru’s troops was shot in the head by Xue Rengui. After a scream, he disappeared into light.
