Chapter 1424 - Capture the General
Chapter 1424 Capture the General
Half a day later, at the foot of the Holy Mountain, a wall of mist that towered into the clouds appeared before Meng Chao and Kanus.
The two of them looked at each other and took large strides forward. They activated their vitality magnetic field and cleaved the waves in the wall of mist.
The mist separated into two sides like waves torn by warships. The world around them became wider and more vivid.
Soon, their vision became clear. They had returned to the sky and the boundless Picturesque Orchid Lake!
The two of them slowly floated hundreds of meters into the sky.
They breathed in the fresh air to their heart’s content and looked down at the meandering Turan River. The land that contained endless resources and potential was waiting to be discovered and built.
They imagined how wonderful this land would be in another future.
Looking back, the towering Holy Mountain of Turan was already hidden in the space folds, only revealing the tip of the iceberg. It looked like an ordinary hill.
After passing the “hill,” his eyes continued to focus on the horizon, and he could vaguely see Fang Mountain Range standing on the southern edge of Picturesque Orchid Lake.
Looking at it from this distance and angle, the natural danger that separated the Turan civilization and the Dragon City civilization was like a low threshold.
As long as one was willing, they could easily cross it with a light step. The scene made both of them extremely excited.
Just like two aspiring painters, they could not wait to write their own legends in the face of an astonishingly large blank painting scroll.
The Wolf King told Meng Chao that due to the lack of industrial pollution and artificial light sources, the visibility of Picturesque Orchid Lake’s air was excellent.
With the two of them transcending to the pinnacle of life, if they looked toward the north from where they were, there was a high chance that they would be able to see the glorious Red-gold City.
After so much time had passed, who would be in charge of Red-gold City without the Lion King, Tiger King, and Wolf King, and what would it look like now?
“I hope that those idiots haven’t caused too much trouble!”
The Wolf King narrowed his eyes and looked far into the distance. But at the next second, he furrowed his brows tightly.
Following his somewhat confused and solemn gaze, Meng Chao also saw Red-gold City on the horizon.
Although it was too far away, with his divine super vision, he could only see a vague outline the size of a finger. However, the smoke that rose from Red-gold City and lingered in the air for a long time could still be seen clearly.
Kanus was the Wolf Clan’s leader.
Naturally, he was also an expert in creating and using smoke.
He told Meng Chao that due to the continuous decline of technology, the current Turan orcs lacked long-distance instantaneous communication methods.
Carrier pigeons and smoke became the most common means of communication and coordination between the various towns and clans.
Depending on the secret medicine mixed into the burning material, smoke of different colors, shapes, and heights could transmit up to a hundred kinds of messages, not just, ‘In case of emergency, call for help.” The smoke that was like an iron fist and surrounded by red light was not a call for help. It meant that the army was going out to declare victory and pray to the ancestors. Such grand-looking smoke was not something that anyone could release.
Only the chiefs of the five clans, who were at the Lion King, the Horn of Destruction’s level, were qualified to light it.
The moment they saw the smoke, all the surrounding cities and towns had to actively prepare food, prepare camps, and mobilize laborers and servants to provide all the support they could for the army that was about to arrive.
Anyone who slacked off for even a moment would have to be punished by military law!
“How strange… The Lion King, Tiger King, and Wolf King aren’t in Red-gold City. Who else has the right to send such a grand signal? “Could it be that the Gold Clan has already chosen a new chief?”
“Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be. Before we went deep into the Holy Mountain, the Lion and Tiger Clans had just engaged in a fierce battle in Red-gold City.
“All the experts were either brought into the Holy Mountain by the Lion King, as well as Tiger King, and completely annihilated, or they were killed or injured in Red-gold City’s great fire. No one should have such strength and prestige to be able to reunite the scattered sand in Red-gold City so quickly!
“Moreover, isn’t it a little too soon to attack the Land of Holy Light Now? The glorious era has just begun, and the cannon fodders haven’t even been used up or even started to be used up. How can we mobilize the Gold Clan’s main forces so quickly?”
The Wolf King muttered to himself and sped up toward Red-gold City.
Meng Chao kept up with him.
The biggest difference between a Deity Realm and a Heaven Realm was that the latter could only float in mid-air like a hot air balloon. If one did not rely on the jet pack and glider wings, it would be very difficult for one to fly in the sky with one’s own strength.
However, the former could fly in the sky as fast as an armored airship or even a piston-type propeller fighter jet.
If they could find a place to borrow strength, they could even break through the speed of sound in an instant at the expense of their spirit energy consumption!
en
The two of them only flew for more than ten minutes before they captured a mighty army in the northeast direction.
Although there were no heavy war machines such as tanks, armored vehicles, and so on, the iron hooves of tens of thousands of orc warriors bombarded the earth at the same time.
That sent out the billowing smoke and dust that soared into the sky and covered it.
The problem was that Meng Chao and the Wolf King both noticed that this army was not heading north, but… toward the south!
The two of them looked at each other and felt slightly uneasy.
At the same time, the other party also discovered them.
They were not the only ones who were soaring in the sky.
Around this army that was heading toward the southern line, there were several scouts circling the sky. They had wide and sharp wings, glinting eagle claws, incomparably sharp beaks, and even faint electric arcs around their bodies, which were telling of their identity. They were falcon warriors from the Thunder Clan.
Among those in the five great clans, the falcon warriors might not have been the strongest. But their eyes were definitely the best.
An ordinary falcon warrior could see and lock onto rats that scurried across the ground from hundreds of meters up in the air.
Meng Chao was used to restraining his aura, and he was as ordinary as a college student who had just entered society.
Meanwhile, the Wolf King liked to stir up his Doomsday Wolf aura to the limit. He wished that he could arrange an entire battle group to beat drums and gongs in front of him to announce his arrival.
The falcon scout caught the undisguised shocking momentum that was like a volcano erupting in the sky. The falcon scout let out a sharp and melodious whistle in the clouds.
From afar and nearby, seven or eight small black dots surrounded by electric sparks flew toward the two of them at lightning speed.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King had seen the falcon scouts’ ancestor, the former overlord of the sky, Broken Wings.
They had even obtained part of Broken Wings’ power and experience.
Even their totem armors were equipped with the battle brand from Broken Wings.
Naturally, they would not take these falcon scouts’ actions to heart.
The Wolf King was puzzled. “What’s going on? This is the Gold Clan’s airspace. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be falcon warriors here.
“Such a violation of the airspace is a very serious provocation. Although the Gold Clan’s jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards are not good at aerial combat, it’s still possible to select hundreds or thousands of strong warriors and shoot thousands of sharp stones into the air, leaving these falcon warriors with nowhere to run.
“If that really doesn’t work, we can still attack the Thunder Clan’s nest from the ground. These birdmen can fly, but their nest can’t move around, right?
“After all, the Thunder Clan is only skilled at reconnaissance, communication, and surprise attacks. In a full-scale confrontation on the ground, they are absolutely no match for the Gold Clan.
“There is only one situation where the eagle and falcon warriors can fly above the Gold Clan’s airspace in a reasonable and free manner.
“That is if…
“The five clans have already chosen the War Chief through the Tournament of the Five Clans. All the Turan warriors, regardless of whether they are from the Gold Clan or the Thunder Clan, have to obey. They can only obey the orders of the War Chief!”
The Wolf King’s face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
Obviously, he did not even care about the Lion King, the Horn of Destruction and the Tiger King, Violent Blade, who had been the most qualified to become the War Chief.
After receiving the Holy Mountain’s inheritance and evolving into the Doomsday Wolf, he naturally would not sit back and watch idiots, who were even worse than the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade, destroy Picturesque Orchid Lake’s future.
“Very good.”
The Wolf King laughed in anger and muttered to himself, “I’d like to see which monkey, who ate the heart of a brown bear and the gallbladder of a cheetah, would dare to jump out and claim the throne when there are no tigers in the mountains!”
The Wolf King ignored the falcon scouts who were approaching at a high speed. He dove directly toward the army, where there were tens of thousands of wolves, tigers, and cheetahs on the ground.
We
Meng Chao was also curious.
After all, Picturesque Orchid Lake was closely related to the future of Dragon City. It was not easy for him to reach a verbal agreement with the Wolf King.
He did not think that except for the Wolf King, who had long been in contact with the earth’s civilization in his apocalyptic nightmare…
Any War Chief could tolerate the people of Dragon City digging up the “land that the ancestral spirits had given to the Turan people” and using rumbling mining machinery, as well as whining locomotives, to “disturb the ancestral spirits’ long sleep.” It did not matter how high the price the people of Dragon City were willing to pay.
Soon, besides the outline that stretched for miles and meandered like a dragon, more details of the army fell into Meng Chao and the Wolf King’s view.
The army that started from Red-gold City was mainly made up of lion men, tigermen, and werewolves.
At first glance, the fire a few months ago did not leave too many aftereffects between the lion men and tigermen.
They continued to march forward at the same pace.
However, no matter if it was the lion men, tigermen, or werewolves, they were all silent and listless. They did not have the elation and fighting spirit of the first wave of the army, and the atmosphere was weird.
Even the battle flags of the Lion, Tiger, and Wolf Clans at the front of the line were crumpled and drooping. They looked dejected, like roosters that had their feathers plucked.
Above the Gold Clan’s battle flag, there was an even more magnificent flag fluttering high up. In the middle of the flag, there were four scarlet hoofprints that were surrounded by blood flames. They were so dazzling that it looked like they had just been branded.
It was the Blood Hoof Clan’s banner!
