Chapter 927 - 927 Defuse the Crisis
927 Defuse the Crisis
Zhao Yun and the others had a collective look of dismay on their faces.
They had not anticipated such a move from the foreign race. Just from the speed of these bees, they knew that they were not ordinary. The destructive power they could cause was unimaginable and definitely shocking.
The deputy general quickly took out his communication wristwatch and scanned the bees. Soon, a message appeared on the wristwatch.
“These are all Arrowhead Bees. They have extremely fast speeds and tough bodies that can penetrate even thick iron plates. They are not highly toxic, but if they jab you, they can leave a bloody hole in your body.”
A text message instantly appeared on the wristwatch.
“Vermillion Bird Army, listen up! Activate the Fire Control Shield!”
Zhao Yun swiftly commanded.
“Use fire. Although these Arrowhead Bees are powerful, their wings are still their weakness. If we burn their wings, they won’t be able to fly, no matter how fast they are.” Zhou Qing quickly said.
“Prepare the Flame Talisman and release it!”
The deputy general also gave the order at the same time.
Arrowhead Bees had supersonic speed. Their usual flying speed was already very fast, and they could also accelerate in an instant, bursting out at an astonishing speed that was ten times faster, like lightning. Speed represented attack power and destructive power to a certain extent.
Their bodies were not big, but they were incredibly tough, and their wings were extremely light. They were naturally resistant to fire. Once their wings were burned, no matter how strong their bodies were, they would still die. However, if they broke through the body’s defense and penetrated it, their destructive power would be quite terrifying. If they hit a vital point, they could kill on the spot.
For this expedition, all kinds of military equipment had been prepared well in advance. All military supplies were the best and most complete.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Flame Talismans were thrown out by the soldiers one after another.
The Flame Talismans bloomed into a crimson divine light in mid-air, instantly turning into clusters of blazing flames, converging to form a vast sea of heavenly flames, sweeping towards the densely packed bee swarm like a tidal wave.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
The Arrowhead Bees crashed against the flames in a chaotic flurry. Their wings caught fire and their bodies were soon engulfed in flames. Despite losing the ability to fly, their incredible speed allowed them to continue hurtling through the air like bullets.
The soldiers were still confronted by a large number of bees which showed no sign of decline.
Once they landed on a person’s body, it was almost equivalent to being pierced by a thousand arrows.
However, as soon as they came close to the body, runes on the Vermillion Bird Armor began to shimmer. A shield made entirely of condensed flames emerged from the armor, seemingly corporeal. Not only was it blazing hot, but it also had an extremely strong defense.
When the Arrowhead Bees smashed against the flame shield, a crisp sound echoed. However, these bees possessed the ability to pierce through armor, and their high-speed movements enabled them to penetrate the flame shield, striking the armor beneath.
The Vermillion Bird Armor was a full-body armor that could cover from head to toe, with a helmet that had a face mask to cover the face. The mask had a pattern of a Vermillion Bird, with almost no blind spots except for the eyes.
The Arrowhead Bees fell to the ground, their tough bodies continuing to struggle violently without their wings. They did not die immediately, and given enough time, they could even grow their wings back due to their powerful life force.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A heap of Arrowhead Bees fell like raindrops. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a layer of their bodies. Some died, and some survived.
The Arrowhead Bees came fast and left just as quickly, falling to the ground in an instant.
Despite facing a swarm of Arrowhead Bees, the Vermillion Bird Army emerged unscathed. The flames that ignited on their armor were automatically restored upon being pierced, fueled by the wearer’s spirit power, which could sustain the shield as long as they desired. The Vermillion Bird Armor itself also had extremely strong defensive capabilities. After an intense battle, all the Arrowhead Bees were destroyed, but not a single member of the Vermillion Bird Army was harmed.
This scene was extremely shocking on the battlefield. Many civilians in Honeysuckle City were wide-eyed and amazed.
“It’s unbelievable! I’ve heard of Arrowhead Bees before. They say they’re as fast as lightning, and when you encounter them in the wilderness, you don’t even know how you got hurt. They can pierce through your body and leave you with a gaping hole. When the number of Arrowhead Bees reaches a certain level, even powerful fierce beasts will avoid them. Many people have died under the onslaught of Arrowhead Bees, but now, such a huge swarm has been stopped by the Vermillion Bird Army without any harm. Is this a dream?”
“Amazing! The strength of the Vermillion Bird Army is truly formidable. Even Arrowhead Bees cannot break their defense. They were simply wiped out here. With such a powerful army guarding us, the Dawn Dynasty will surely become even stronger and expand its territory. No one can stop us.”
“Excellent! What an elite Vermillion Bird Army. They remained calm and composed in the face of danger, and were able to adapt to the situation. They are truly the best of the best, and they have a strong military presence. They are the elites who have fought their way through the sea of carnage.”
In Honeysuckle City, countless civilians praised them.
To be able to face the Arrowhead Bees and not lose a single soldier, this was truly the cream of the crop, a real strong army, with military willpower that ran deep into their bones.
“We will rest on site and continue moving forward later.”
Zhao Yun nodded to himself. Regardless of anything else, the strength of the Vermillion Bird Army was already able to counter these spontaneous attacks without any damage, which was a manifestation of their might.
The soldiers of the Vermillion Bird Army quickly changed their clothes, which still carried the scent of the honey rain.
After changing their attire, the army continued to advance.
The Divine City pressed ahead again without stopping.
This skirmish appeared in front of Fan Wencheng in the first instance.
In the tent, all the powerhouses of the foreign race were visibly stricken with consternation.
“The strength of the Vermillion Bird Army is really extraordinary. It has exceeded the level we previously assessed. Normally, the Arrowhead Bees drawn out by the honey rain can penetrate any cultivator in the Transcendent Realm and even cause damage to specialized body refiners, but they were blocked by the defense of the Vermillion Bird Army and its Vermillion Bird Armor. They should not be confronted directly.”
Fan Wencheng wore a serious expression on his face. This was just a test. Although the result was unexpected, they had no intention of fighting the army head-on. However, they were able to gauge the strength of the Vermillion Bird Army.
