Chapter 1484 – Crisis (5)
On one hand, it could reduce the strength of the four-nation alliance; on the other hand, it could also preserve their
combat effectiveness.
If the alliance of the four countries wanted to truly eliminate Shen Yanxiao’s forces in the Barren Land, they must
take down The Rising Sun City. However, the location of The Rising Sun City was exactly in the center of the more
than fifty cities. Even if the four countries wanted to break through a road that led directly to The Rising Sun City,
that would also require them to confront seven or eight cities in the process.
This was Shen Yanxiao’s best chance.
“Nazhi and Xiaowei will have this time to reinforce the periphery of every city with battle trap arrays; in particular,
the periphery of The Rising Sun City must be covered with traps. Ah-Yu will prepare materials and weapons
together with Yang Xi during this time. We must ensure that the firepower of our artillery cannot be cut off until the
war is over. Qi Xia and Du Lang will together persuade the humans in various cities to enter the five main cities. As
for the demons, I’ll let Fu Tu get ready.” Shen Yanxiao issued a decisive order. This was her first time participating
in a large-scale battle, and in this battle, she could not afford to lose!
“When is Little Feng coming back?” Shen Yanxiao suddenly thought of Lan Fengli, who had not yet returned.
“Not sure. I have already sent a message, but haven’t received an answer yet. I hope he can come back before the
war.” Qi Xia sighed. Lan Fengli’s combat prowess could be said to be the greatest of them all. If they had Lan
Fengli, then they would be more reassured.
However, there had been no news from Lan Fengli’s side during this time, which made them somewhat anxious.
After all, there were still the two Phoenixes beside Lan Fengli. The combat power of the three of them was very
important for the current Barren Land.
“Then take care of these things first. If there is something, come ask me again later.” Shen Yanxiao could only wait
patiently.
Knowing their respective tasks, the five animals did not delay a moment and immediately carried them out.
They were racing against time!
In the next ten days, the forces in more than fifty cities under Shen Yanxiao had acted.
All the merchants and residents in the cities had been moved to the four main cities except The Rising Sun City.
Because of Du Lang and others’ strict screening of people before, there were not many people in each city.
Otherwise, the four main cities could not have accommodated the residents of fifty cities.
The main cities of the Barren Land had been deliberately made vacant previously. Originally, within these cities,
there were no human beings, only demons. Now, even if there were a lot of people entering, it would not appear too
crowded.
Soon, apart from the five main cities, there would be no humans living in any city, and all the defenses of these
cities had been handed over to the demons.
The underground city of the demons were connected to each other, so they could evacuate from the underground
faster. And when they had to leave, they would block the entrance to the underground and prevent anyone from
entering.
Yang Xi began to speed up the development of artillery shells. Ye Qing and Yin Jiuchen led a group of Pharmacists
to make potions day and night. Tang Nazhi and Li Xiaowei had already brought the people sent by the Black
Tortoise Clan to lay out deadly battle trap arrays around The Rising Sun City.
The whole Barren Land was like a huge machine running under the command of Shen Yanxiao.
The thirteen-day timer was very short; a little carelessness and it would slip between your fingers.
In the past few days, the armies of the four countries had set out from their own countries and travelled a long way
to gather at the entrance to the eastern part of the Barren Land.
