Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Based on the Great Horn Army’s arrangement, the ones surrounding the injured camp should be some weaker second-line troops.
At this moment, the tents of these second-line troops were all set ablaze.
Along with the surging heat wave came earth-shattering cries.
The situation was even worse than Meng Chao had imagined.
The camp whistle was like a real tsunami. In just half an hour, the destructive power had spread to every camp within a radius of tens of miles.
It was chaotic, completely chaotic.
Every camp had fallen into a whirlpool that had gone out of control
Flames soared into the sky everywhere, ghostly shadows appeared everywhere, blades flashed and swords flashed. There were people baring their fangs and brandishing their claws everywhere like zombies. There were also people who seemed to have their brains and even their souls emptied as they stood in the darkness in a daze, they did not know where they should go with their legs that were filled with lead water and weighed a thousand pounds.
Meng Chao traveled at lightning speed.
He tried his best to choose a dark path that could not be seen by the flames.
He did not want to clash with the chaotic soldiers that had lost control.
He only pricked up his ears to gather useful information from the chaotic soldiers’hysterical shouts.
The situation was as he had expected.
The chaotic soldiers were all shouting about the news that had appeared out of nowhere.
Some said that the lion and tiger clans had already moved into the Wolf clan’s territory, and the legendary warriors, whose fierce reputation resounded throughout the entire map, were about to launch a thunderous attack on the great horn army.
Others said that the bloodhoof, dark moon, lightning, and divine tree clans had already reached an agreement with the golden clan, and the four clans’Alliance army was coming from behind the Great Horn Army, they were going to join the golden clan’s army and crush everyone in the Great Horn Army like two burning iron walls.
There were even people who said that the great horn rat god had failed in the ancestral spirits’”Battle of the gods”and had been deprived of all his power. He could no longer bless the rat people. Otherwise, how could he explain why he could not conquer hundred blade city after so long, and what about the rat people who had been starving for so many days?
That’s right. In the legends of the Tulan civilization, the ancestral spirits were not united. The summit of the Sacred Mountain was a more cruel arena than the human world.
Only in the eternal battle on the summit of the sacred mountain, the powerful ancestral spirits who kept winning could breed the most powerful clan in the human world.
On the other hand, the setbacks and defeats in the human world also meant that the ancestral spirits that they worshiped were getting weaker and weaker — this was a logic that was hard to refute.
Meng Chao dared to use his head to guarantee that these demagogic rumors were all from those who had surrendered to the Wolf Rangers and were later released by the “Jackal”kanus, who was “So magnanimous that it was close to stupid.” They had rejoined the rat militia of the Great Horn Legion.
However, the rumors had spread like a virus.
There was no point in dwelling on the source.
In truth, what worried Meng Chao the most was not the soldiers who were jumping up and down, acting menacingly, and still had the strength to spread the rumors.
Instead, they could be seen everywhere in the camps along the way. They were leaning against fences or curled up in corners, twitching crazily, foaming at the mouth, and their expressions were either ferocious or dull. They were stuck in a nightmare, they were guys that were shooting out terrifying brain waves like a volcano eruption.
Meng Chao guessed that these guys’brains had received the Brainwave Information transmitted by the ancient Dream Saintess through the dreams.
The ancient Dream Saintess had implanted the belief that the big horn rats were majestic and the Big Horn Army was invincible into the depths of their hearts in one beautiful dream after another.
At this moment, replacing the unbreakable belief with the fear that the Bighorn Rat God had fallen and the Bighorn Army was doomed wasn’t technically difficult.
Before long, these people who were being tortured by the zombie rat god in their nightmares.
Their brains would turn into powerful bombs of fear.
This would allow the rat warriors who were awake to taste the taste of their faith collapsing and falling into the abyss.
Meng Chao quickened his pace and followed the increasingly strong smell of tracking powder in the turbid air, sneaking toward the next camp.
This camp stood next to a sparse forest of mandala trees.
Meng Chao found a thread of torn fibers from the battle robes on the branches of the three mandala trees in the forest.
At first glance, it was just the traces left by the soldiers accidentally scraping the trees when the army passed by.
However, Meng Chao recognized the pungent smell on the fibers as the communication symbol that he and ice storm had agreed on a long time ago.
Ice Storm was in the camp next to them.
Meng Chao opened his mouth and pressed his right index and middle fingers against his Adam’s apple. Spiritual energy seeped into his flesh and stimulated his vocal cords, which vibrated at a high frequency and emitted ultrasonic waves that ordinary people could not hear.
The forest seemed to be completely silent.
The snakes, insects, rats, and ants that were particularly sensitive to high-frequency sound waves, however, fled their nests one after another, emitting rustling sounds.
About five minutes later.
The outline of a tall woman gradually appeared at the periphery of the forest.
At this time, Meng Chao had already hidden behind a rock covered with a carpet of fungi. He restrained his breathing, heartbeat, and even his body temperature to their limits.
It was not until the other party curled his fingers and flicked out a cluster of ice mist that turned a blossoming datura flower into a crystal-clear ice flower.
Meng Chao flicked his fingers and shot out a cluster of magma that he had gotten from the ‘Skull Crusher’.
The magma swallowed the ice flower. Two streams of spiritual energy surged, neutralized, and annihilated, turning into a cluster of faint steam.
They confirmed the other party’s identity in such a way.
Meng Chao and ice storm heaved a sigh of relief at the same time before they showed up.
“What happened?”
The two of them asked at the same time.
Feeling that it was inappropriate, they gestured to the other party with a ‘please’gesture.
“‘Jackal’Kanus is ready to pull back the net.”
Meng Chao said concisely, “The wolf rangers have cut off the logistics supply line of the Great Horn Legion. They have already driven their prey to the point where they have run out of ammunition and food. In addition to the fact that the hundred blade city has not been conquered for a long time, the morale of the soldiers is low, and everybody is panicking.
“At this moment, as long as we can kill the ancient Dream Saintess and shatter the confidence of the rat soldiers, the great horn army will be left without a leader and fall apart.
“Originally, the headquarters where the ancient Dream Saintess was was located in the center of the entire army. It will not be easy to execute the decapitation tactic.
“Such a large-scale battalion whistle gave the ‘Jackal’kanus the best opportunity.
“I bet that if nothing goes wrong, the ancient Dream Saintess will never be able to see the sun rise this morning.
“I just don’t understand. There are at least a hundred camps in a radius of dozens of miles. Why is the camp whistle so powerful and so wide? Why does it seem like the entire great horn army is going crazy?”
Ice storm nodded, indicating that she understood the current situation.
Then, she said, “I know that. Just now, a huge fire suddenly ignited in hundred blade city. The fire dragon spiraled all the way into the clouds, constantly emitting crackling sounds. There was also the fragrance of the mandala fruit being roasted until it was burnt. Everyone in the great horn army stationed around hundred blade city saw, heard, and smelled it.”
“The fire in Hundred Blade City?”
Meng Chao’s face changed.
He hurried to the highest mandala tree nearby and stood on the treetop, gazing into the distance in the direction of hundred blade city.
As he expected, he saw that the soaring flames were burning the dark clouds red. The fire was even more intense than the chaotic camps around him.
At the same time, his nose, which had been soaked in spiritual energy, also detected a faint fragrance and a slightly pungent smell from the smell of sweat, Blood, Mud, and grass.
The former was the smell of burning mandala fruits.
The latter was the smell of burning secret medicines.
The wind tonight was not blowing from Hundred Blade City to Meng Chao’s camp.
The fact that the smell could spread so far meant that there must be a lot of mandala fruits and secret medicines burning in hundred blade city.
“The garrisons of the Wolf clan in hundred blade city are burning the granaries and armories!”
Meng Chao instantly understood that this was a plan to burn both the jade and the stone.
One had to know that the entire strategy of the Great Horn Army was based on taking down hundred blade city and taking the granaries and armories.
In the previous bloody battles, even if the vanguard of the Great Horn Army climbed up the city wall of Hundred Blade City and took the war flag of the Wolf Clan.
The defending army in the city did not burn the granaries and armories.
This added to the groundless belief of all the officers and soldiers of the great horn army — out of the pride of the Warriors of the clan, the defending army of the Wolf clan would never admit that there was even the slightest possibility of hundred blade city being breached.
Therefore, they would never burn all the granaries and armories in the city in advance.
That was equivalent to admitting defeat in advance. It was a sign of weakness and humiliation.
Then, as long as the Great Horn Legion could charge into hundred blade city at lightning speed,.
They would definitely be able to intercept all the grain before the defenders started the fire!
