Chapter 391 - Outside of Xiliang CountyAfter setting up the two spell formations, Xiang Yun did not immediately rest. Instead, he patrolled the army and personally inspected the wounded, occasionally taking action to help with the treatment.
After fighting four times, everyone was exhausted. Even the Snow Wolf Cavalry had lost more than thirty warriors.Of course, this was also because they did not want to retreat. Even though Yun Li had used up all of his energy, they had still fought their way out of the path of blood for the people behind them.
The consumption by the Black Tortoise Cavalry was not small either. They had already lost several hundred people, and over a thousand of them were wounded. Even the trained Hundred Heroic Lion could not stand up to the continuous battles within the monster tide.Although they had been protected, when they saw the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the PaG.o.da Armoured Cavalry charging towards them with no regards for their own safety, they also took the initiative to join the battle. They even teamed up with the flank of the paG.o.da cavalry to charge through the beast tide.
Seeing that the soldiers and the civilians had all stabilized and were preparing for their final charge, Xiang Yun returned to the center of the great formation, where Bi Hongzhang, Ma Ying, Zhu Kai, and Qi Haowei were all sitting cross-legged. When they saw Xiang Yun arrive, the three of them immediately moved out of the way.
"Commander Qi, how are your injuries?" Xiang Yun looked at the expressions on the four of them, his gaze directed at Qi Haowei.The four of them were the commanders in the army, and were also the most courageous of the vanguards. The danger rate was much higher than that of ordinary people, and during their fourth charge, Qi Haowei had been struck in the shoulder by a Seven Star Poison Scorpion.
Fortunately, Xiang Yun had brought out an antidote from his storage ring, otherwise Qi Haowei would have died from the poison. However, at this moment, his face was pale and his aura was much weaker.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This official is already much better, I can still kill the Cloud Beast after a short rest!"
Xiang Yun patted the latter"s shoulder, then asked about the other three separately. Bi Hongzhang and the rest were still alright, but they had exhausted themselves and their bodies were still weak. All they needed to do was replenish their dantian"s cloud energy.
As for Xiang Yun, the few of them felt sincere admiration and shock at him. From start to finish, the latter had been the vanguard of the entire army, and the bravest four of them had slain Cloud Beasts.
Furthermore, every time Xiang Yun was responsible for setting up a great formation, it should have been him who consumed the most energy. However, every time he was in his best condition, Xiang Yun would be the one in his best condition.
Bi Hongzhang could not help but sigh in his heart: "He truly lives up to the reputation of being the prince"s son. Even though what he saw and heard before was no longer acceptable, once he grows up, he will become a dragon!"
Seeing that everyone had settled down, Master Xiang Yun sat down cross-legged and began meditating, circulating his Turtle Resting Technique as he waited for the final moment to come.Although he looked calm, he was actually not at all calm at the moment. He was even somewhat worried. He was only eighty Li away from the Western Lion Country. However, the closer he got to the Western Lion County City, the more worried Xiang Yun became.
Two days ago, the Western Lion Country was still holding on. However, it was unknown if it had been breached. If it was in the Western Lion Country, it was unknown whether it had been breached as well …
Xiang Yun felt a chill run down his spine, but he could not show any signs of doubt or doubt, because he could not let everyone lose their confidence!
The time pa.s.sed by minute by minute, second by second, for the rest of them who were in the midst of recuperation and recuperation.
After six hours of recuperation, everyone finally recovered their energy. At the same time, their eyes were filled with hope. They only had eighty miles to go. After this journey, they would reach the Western Lion Country. Hope was right in front of them!
When the formation was broken again, the entire army charged forward like arrows that had left the bowstring!
In all four directions, there were Cloud Beasts that were already several layers tall. They were densely packed like a swarm of fleas in the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Both sides were engaged in a battle that was like a comet colliding with the earth. There were endless booms and screams as the soldiers and cloud beasts were instantly wounded and killed!
As for Xiang Yun, Bi Hongzhang, Ma Duan, and Zhu Kai who were at the front of the group, all they could do right now was unreservedly use all of their strength. They would use their highest efficiency to kill off the obstructions in front, opening the path for the group behind them!
Along the way, soldiers were constantly dying miserably in the mouths of the Cloud Beasts. Even if there was an endless tide of Cloud Beasts in front of them, at this moment, it was already possible that you were going to die. Everyone was giving their all!
"Kill!"
The flow of blood extended outwards. Xiang Yun and the rest were like a fish swimming upstream at the end of a waterfall. No matter how fast the tide flowed, they would still face difficulties swimming upwards!
The sun set, and night fell. The starry sky was blotted out as a silver moon hung high in the sky!
Ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, thirty kilometers, thirty-five kilometers … the squad continued to advance, but the speed at which they were moving was growing slower and slower.
This was because the further they went, the denser the number of cloud beasts in front of them would be. What was even more terrifying was that there were already several soldier level cloud beasts among them.Most importantly, the Cloud Beasts were already at the initial level of intelligence. They would not attack the four unstoppable Xiang Yun"s group at the front of the group, nor would they want to touch the Snow Wolf Cavalry"s sharp auras.
He actually went around to the back of the group and attacked the soldiers of the Northern Good County. He wanted to break through them and pounce on the women and children in the group. Luckily, Xiang Yun, who had his senses covered, immediately felt that something was wrong.
He had Ma Duan, Zhu Kai, and Bi Hongzhang as the vanguards to continue charging, while he used the Myriad Transformation to borrow the army"s mounts as a stepping stone to fly over everyone"s heads. With his fastest speed, he arrived at the back of the group that was already in chaos.
Xiang Yun used lightning-like methods to lift up his sword and smash the head of a Mang Mountain pig. At the same time, he also channeled Heavenly Dragon"s true energy using the Dragon Elephant Mighty Technique and punched through the abdominal cavity of a Blood Jade Spider, sending blood splattering in all directions!However, at the same time, an extremely intelligent King Kong Demon Ape seized the opportunity to leap high into the air and charge towards the group of wounded and commoners. However, at the same time, an extremely intelligent King Kong Demon Ape seized the opportunity to leap high into the air and had charged towards the group of wounded and commoners.
The three Cloud Beasts were instantly killed. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xiang Yun flew up, his feet flying over the heads of everyone else as he landed on the back of the giant wolf at the very front of the group!
"Keep going forward, we"re almost there!"The team managed to maintain their charging position without any danger. Even though there were four experts leading the way, everyone still felt an unprecedented difficulty within the beast tide.
Even as the vanguard, the Snow Wolf Cavalry Soldiers felt immense pressure. The speed of the huge wolves beneath them was clearly becoming slower and slower. The frequency of their lances being swung also decreased.
The entire team was being compressed more and more tightly by the beast tide, and the number of casualties began to increase!
The smell of blood and dust a.s.saulted their faces. It was as if they were being swallowed up by the darkness. They could almost hear their own heartbeats speeding up. Nervousness, fear and confusion lingered in their minds …
Everyone felt like they were about to be lost in this wilderness, or could be swallowed by the beast tide at any moment, but at the front of the team, four dazzling lights suddenly flashed intensely, and each time they fell they would be accompanied by the wails of a cloud beast. These four lights were like the hope in everyone"s hearts, as long as these few lights were not extinguished, then hope would never end!
"
"Forty miles, fifty miles, sixty miles, sixty-five miles …"
"Seventy miles!" Everyone held their last bit of energy in their hearts, hoping that it would be faster, a little faster!
"Look ahead!"Suddenly, someone pointed ahead and shouted in surprise.
When everyone heard this, they looked towards the distant land. Under the reflection of the full moon, a huge area wrapped in a blue screen of light appeared. Through the curtain of water, they could vaguely see the towering majesty of a city!
"The Great City Barrier Formation. That"s the West Leung Prefecture City. We"ve arrived!"
"We"re finally here!"
Even Xiang Yun and the rest, who were almost numb as they charged to the frontmost area, lifted their heads to look at the enormous city under the night sky. Their hearts abruptly shook as a wave of heat rushed into their hearts!
"We"re here!"Bi Hongzhang laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, we"ve finally arrived. The Western Lion Country"s city is still here, and the grand defensive formation has not been broken!"
It turned out that Bi Hongzhang was also worried about the defeat of the Xiliang County and that all his efforts were in vain. Now that the Great City Barrier Array of Xiliang County had appeared before his eyes, he was immediately overjoyed!
Ma Duan and Zhu Kai were also extremely excited!
They had been surrounded by a sea of cloud beasts on all four sides, and they were all in danger. If they weren"t careful, they would have lost all their bones. Now that they had finally seen the human world, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief once they entered the city.
Xiang Yun immediately ordered, "Ma Domain, Zhu Kai, release the signal detonator and notify the Western Lion Country to receive us!""Yes sir!"
Ma Duan and Zhu Kai immediately had the troops send out signal bombs. The signal bombs were similar to those used in the Cloud Crystal Cannon, but the energy contained in the pills was not violent. Instead, it was a kind of material that could emit dazzling light.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"Seven or eight signal detonators shot up into the air at the same time, creating a beautiful rainbow that exploded high up in the sky. The fireworks were extremely dazzling!
While defending the four Cloud Beasts, they advanced towards the County City. At the same time, they waited excitedly for the response in front!
However, what surprised everyone was that after the signal detonator was fired, there was no response from inside the city. According to common sense, since the city had seen their signal detonator, there should have been one from a signalman. How could there be no response?Everyone was still in a daze!
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the direction of the distant city. The big defensive formation of the County City of Western Lion exploded into a dazzling radiance that illuminated everything. At this moment, the entire area within several dozen miles of the County of Western Lion was illuminated almost into daylight.
At this moment, the crowd finally saw a shocking scene!
The surroundings of the majestic city were like a swarm of locusts crossing the sea. The surging sea of Cloud Beasts surrounded the County City of West Liangchang from all directions. All kinds of Cloud Beasts were attacking the great formation!
What was even more shocking was that at the peak of the County City of West Leong, a dense black cloud instantly covered half of the top of the Great City Barrier Formation. When everyone looked carefully, they discovered that it was actually countless flying cloud beasts that were coiling up in the sky, charging towards the Great Formation like a black cloud!
"Sssii!"
"Roar!"
In the blink of an eye, the million strong cloud beasts army launched their a.s.sault. The cloud beasts" roars were deafening, and the earth shook. In that moment, everyone"s hairs stood on end as a wave of cold air rose from their tails straight up to the heavens!
