Chapter 1188: Race Against Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
To be fair, one could not say that all of the Great Horn Army’s soldiers were daydreaming.
After all, Hundred Blade City was an important place in Picturesque Orchid that had thousands of years of history. No one could bear the responsibility of handing the glorious city over to the rat people.
Furthermore, Hundred Blade City had a large amount of military rations. Not only did they need to provide for the Wolf Clan’s daily consumption, but they also needed to prepare for the entire Gold Clan to get through years of battle between the five clans and even the War of Glory.
If all the military rations were burnt, how would the wolves and leopards of the golden clan fill their stomachs and advance toward the land of Holy Light?
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, the Wolf clan would never burn the military rations. This was more of a test of the commander’s determination than a brave warrior cutting his wrists.
The problem was that if the strategy of besieging hundred blade city itself was part of the Conspiracy of ‘Jackal’kanus.
The grain storage in hundred blade city wasn’t as much as the great horn army had predicted.
Most of the military grain had been secretly transported out of the city by kanus the jackal and stored in some corner or underground cave?
No matter what, this decision of betting that the enemy wouldn’t dare to cut their wrists was tantamount to sending the noose that was strangling their throats into the hands of the enemy. It was an act of suicide.
As expected, the Wolf tribe soldiers in hundred blade city started to burn the granaries and armories in the city during the break between the two attacks of the great horn army.
Perhaps the resources in the granaries and armories weren’t as much as they appeared to be.
However, it was enough to make all the soldiers of the Great Horn Army panic.
Of course, they wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack the city. They wanted to enter hundred blade city and put out the fire before all the food was burned.
However, a night attack was a test of the soldiers’quality and their coordination.
In the pitch-black night, forcefully attacking a city that had a high wall and deep pits. This was something that no one on Earth or in the history of Cold Weapons Wars had ever heard of.
The ravenous rat people warriors could only tear their eyes apart and widen their eyes. They could only watch as the mandala fruit in the city turned into clouds of fragrant smoke that was so thick that it was about to drip oil, rising into the sky, it gave them a soul-sucking temptation.
Only at this moment did people gradually come back to their senses and began to reflect on whether this strategy of “Finishing everything in one battle”was too frivolous and reckless.
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret!
As a rebel army that had been put together and relied solely on their courage, from the moment they occupied the surroundings of hundred blade city and completely lost their mobility, they were destined to welcome such a blazing flame.., a turning point that burned all hope!
“The Great Horn Legion is hopeless. Without food, even if the gods and devils descend, they would not be able to gather the scattered troops back together.”
Like Meng Chao, the ice storm was extremely clear-headed. “What should we do now?”
“Go rescue the ancient Dream Saintess!”
Meng Chao made a prompt decision. “As long as we rescue the ancient Dream Saintess, even if the great horn army is wiped out, we still have a chance to make a comeback!”
Since ancient times, the reason why the uprising army was so troublesome to the rulers was not because of its combat ability, how well-organized it was, or how large the army was.
It was because it was very similar to wildfire, fungi, and viruses. It was extremely difficult to completely destroy it.
Even if on the surface it stopped fighting, surrendered, or even lost its entire army.
As long as the leader and core members could escape alive.
They would have a chance to rise up again at any minute, regroup, and create an even more boisterous scene than before.
After all, “Jackal”kanus could destroy the great horn army.
But it was impossible to destroy the millions of rats that the great horn army represented, and the hatred and anger that they had accumulated for tens of thousands of years.
As long as this hatred and anger was still there.
As long as the ancient Dream Saintess was still alive.
As long as the group of armored airships from Dragon City could quickly open up the air route from the monster mountain range to the hinterland of tulanze, and transport a few short-distance planetary surface warping devices over.
Even if the great horn army only had one small spark left.
It could be revived at any minute.
“Do you know where the ancient Dream Saintess is?”
The ice storm raised its eyebrows high.
Although the ancient Dream Saintess did not deliberately hide her tracks.
As a big-headed soldier fighting on the front line, it was still an extremely difficult task to accurately lock onto the coordinates of the supreme commander.
Seeing Meng Chao’s seemingly absurd prediction, everything started to come true.
Ice Storm’s evaluation of Meng Chao was getting higher and higher, to the point where he listened to everything he said.
“I know, but we’re pressed for time. We need to race against time. Do you know where the White Bone Battalion cavalry is currently stationed?”
In the numerous clashes with the Wolf tribe’s heavy soldier group.
The white bone battalion of the Great Horn Legion had captured many Wolf clan mounts.
And through the dream of the ancient Dream Saintess — in fact, Meng Chao suspected that the ‘Jackal’Kanus had used the ancient Dream Saintess’brain as a ‘transit station’and directly taught her the driving skills, many warriors of the white bone battalion had grown into well-trained cavalrymen in just a few days.
Near the camp where the ice storm was located, there was a troop of white bone battalion cavalry stationed there.
Naturally, the elites of the white bone battalion could not escape the impact of the camp whistle.
This was because they had a closer relationship with the ancient Dream Saintess. Almost everyone could directly or indirectly sense the brainwaves of the ancient Dream Saintess every night. In the illusory and real dreams.., they were taught by the ancient Dream Saintess and even the Rat God.
Therefore, when the beautiful dream turned into a nightmare, when the Majestic Rat God, who looked like a demon, turned into a swollen and rotting zombie rat god, which looked like a giant.
These elite soldiers of the white bone battalion were affected even more severely than the ordinary rat warriors.
Their tents were almost turned into madhouses.
Almost half of the elite soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles were holding their heads and curled up into a ball, twitching crazily.
The other half were like headless flies that had been electrified, dancing and jumping around.
Even the wolves that had been imprisoned beside the tents had been released by someone.
Perhaps these ferocious beasts that knew a little about human nature had also been affected by the chaotic brainwaves that were constantly surging and colliding in the air, causing them to Grimace in pain. Their eyes were bloodshot, revealing their ferocity.
From time to time, the centaurs would bend their backs and blow up the hair on their backs. They would lunge at the broken-down elites of the white bone battalion like sharp blades out of their sheaths.
Even though their chests were torn apart by the centaurs’claws and teeth, exposing the steaming hot organs, many of the elites of the white bone battalion did not respond at all. It was as if their fighting will and soul.., had All dissipated with the death of the Rat God.
What was left here were just empty bodies.
Meng Chao and the ice storm had snatched two horseman wolves effortlessly without alerting anyone.
Although they had never received professional cavalry training before, they had never been trained in such a way.
However, at their level, as long as they released a few strands of killing intent, they would naturally be able to transform into human-shaped ferocious beasts and intimidate their mounts.
Sensing the spiritual energy that surged out from their bodies, it was enough to instantly freeze them into ice or burn them into charcoal.
The two warwolves that were originally fierce and had traces of blood on the corners of their mouths were instantly tamed like old dogs that had their teeth knocked out.
The two of them exerted their strength at the same time, relying on the subtle vibration of the muscle fibers all over their bodies and the feedback of strength from their groins.
They soon figured out the control skills of the WARWOLF.
They also used psionic energy to stimulate the WARWOLF’s flesh and tendons, causing the two beasts to burst out with unprecedented speed. They turned into two arrows that left the bow and shot toward the headquarters of the ancient Dream Saintess that was deployed in the southwest stone forest.
Along the way, they encountered more than ten chaotic camps.
In order to pursue speed, they did not deliberately cover their tracks this time.
As a result, many crazy soldiers dared to go up and intercept them.
Meng Chao noticed that the soldiers’eyes were slanted, and their skin was red and hot. Many of them had deep depressions between their eyebrows, but their temples were high and bulging. The depressions and bulges were like trembling tumors.
Their life magnetic field was more like a bonfire with an accelerant added to the fierce wind. No one could predict whether the fire would continue to explode or be extinguished in the next second.
Meng Chao knew that the power of the “Bomb of Fear”was increasing.
More and more mouse warriors had been devoured by the nightmare of the zombie rat god. After their faith collapsed, they became deranged killing machines.
However, he didn’t have time to tangle with these crazy soldiers.
He had to save the ancient Dream Saintess.
Only then could he cut off the source of the nightmare.
Meng Chao and the ice storm clamped onto the belly of the colt and used the intense pain to stimulate the last potential of the colt. They soared into the air and crossed over the heads of the soldiers in a gliding posture..
