209 – Defeating the Wolf Cavalry
3 days later, a long caravan set off from the Rydgex City and headed for the Red Earth Wasteland.
In less than 10 days, the number of slaves under Yang Feng soared to over 1,700. Additionally, he hired a number of grooms, coachmen, and servants. The entire caravan had over 2,000 people.
Even though Yang Feng had purchased a large number of livestock in the Rydgex City to act as the driving force, yet the movement speed of the over 2,000 people was still very slow.
Gazes from people with ulterior motives gathered on the huge convoy moving toward the Red Earth Wasteland.
The journey was calm and uneventful. The Rydgex City was located at the border of the Morrince Empire. In its vicinity, there were no human forces daring enough to attack a convoy with a Great Wizard standing watch.
After traveling for 10 days, the caravan reached the border of the Morrince Empire and the Red Earth Wasteland.
After showing his ident.i.ty doc.u.ment, Yang Feng and his party pa.s.sed the checkpoint smoothly.
Without an explicit order from the empire, the Morrince Empire’s border defense general wouldn’t dare to offend a Great Wizard.
After crossing the border checkpoint, an empty and daunting red wasteland with some scattered bushes came into sight.
There was no end in sight to the Red Earth Wasteland. The scenery looked very beautiful. However, only the inhabitants of the Red Earth Wasteland knew how cruel this Red Earth Wasteland was. This dry, dead land without any viable water source was basically incapable of producing any foodstuff. Only some rare bushes would have some sour berries.
Even the land in the vicinity of the Rhine River, which pa.s.sed through the Red Earth Wasteland, didn’t had too many plants growing. It seemed like this place was cursed by the G.o.ds.
Clive looked at the desolate Red Earth Wasteland and his eyes flashed a touch of unease. He came to beside Yang Feng and asked: “Sir, we have to build a city here? Although there is no shortage of water near the Rhine River, but there are often ferocious sea clansmen attacking along the riverside. It’s very dangerous to build a city there.”
The Rhine River crossed the Red Earth Wasteland and flowed into the ocean. It was also the route that the Sea Clan used to attack the four empires from the ocean.
On the Feisuo Plane, the various races were locked in endless struggles; war was a common occurrence. Following a period of rest, the Sea Clan would gush out from the Rhine River and sweep each empire, before retreating into the ocean after a bitter fight.
Because of this, no one had built a city by the Rhine River.
Yang Feng said indifferently: “No, let’s go to the Sunset Field to build the city!”
Clive looked surprised, saying: “The Sunset Field?”
The Sunset Field was located in the center of the Red Earth Wasteland. Although it was flat and wide, yet it was incredibly desolate and had no resources. Its only advantage was that it was equidistant from the four empires.
Clive didn’t ask more and silently forged ahead along with the convoy.
Yang Feng looked up at the sky and saw an eagle flying high above, overlooking the land.
He smiled coldly. Without paying the eagle any mind, he continuing toward the Sunset Field.
20 days later, the boundless, extremely flat Sunset Field appeared before Yang Feng and his party.
“We finally arrived!” When everyone saw the boundless Sunset Field, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, the Red Earth Wasteland, which had nothing to look at, cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts. Now that they finally arrived at their destination, they breathed a sigh of relief.
At Yang Feng’s command, people began to set camp and make fire for cooking.
Just as the fire was about to be lit, a cloud of dust rose in the distance. 2,000 odd people riding enormous wolves, which were as big a wild horses, the Wolf Cavalry, galloped over with cruel expressions on their faces.
“It’s the Wolf Cavalry, the Wolf Cavalry of the beastman empire!!”
“How come they’re here?”
“The Wolf Cavalry is here!”
“…”
Seeing the Wolf Cavalry comprised of 2,000 odd people riding huge wolves, people issued screams of terror and fled in disarray.
“Enter formation!!”
Clive bellowed and immediately entered formation with the 200 former Iman Princ.i.p.ality’s royal guards. The aura of seasoned veterans gushed out of them. They resembled G.o.d-like existences, which somewhat calmed a lot of people.
Babuu drew his large sword and bellowed: “Draw your weapons and kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!!”
The ox-human warriors also bellowed and drew their two-meter-long swords.
The rest of the slaves hid behind them, trembling in fear. Only about fifty human slaves took up arms and stood beside Clive and his party.
The beastman empire’s Wolf Cavalry was absolutely the most ferocious kind of army. The huge wolves underneath the Wolf Cavalry"s people were their blood kin. The two sides were blood related and their minds were liked. When fighting, they were fierce and fearless. Once their numbers reached a 1,000, they would become a major headache for any enemy.
The last thing the Morrince Empire’s border defense army wanted to come across in the wilderness was the beastman empire’s Wolf Cavalry, which was simply a nightmare.
The leader of the Wolf Cavalry, the Copper Wolf Tribe’s young master, Merc, licked his lips and his eyes flashed with a touch of excitement: “This group is indeed a fat sheep! With this, our Copper Wolf Tribe doesn’t has to worry about supplies for at least 10 years.”
Clive bit his lips as he unwaveringly stared at the beastman empire’s Wolf Cavalry and gripped his large sword. He stood at the front and firmly guarded in front of Yang Feng.
Wizards required warriors for protection, this was a combat rule of the Feisuo Plane. Without the protection of warriors, the frail Wizards may be shot dead by stray arrows. Wizards, unlike Warlocks, had no life force covers protecting their bodies.
Yang Feng quietly watched the performance of the slaves. The corners of his mouth rouse slightly, revealing a smile. He walked in front of the team.
Clive frowned slightly and shouted: “Sir, be careful! Please step back! The Wolf Cavalry will put its hands on you over my dead body!”
“I’ll take care of the Wolf Cavalry myself! I’ll let you see my means!”
Yang Feng smiled confidently and flipped his hand. Over 30 extraordinary plant Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattan seeds appeared in his hand and he threw them onto the ground. He silently recited an incantation, pointed at the over 30 extraordinary plant Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattan seeds, and a green ray of magic light shot at them.
The seeds suddenly frantically squirmed and grew into tens of meters long, strange demonic rattans covered in countless barbs. The demonic rattans madly swatted at the 2,000-strong Wolf Cavalry.
Where the strange demonic rattans pa.s.sed through, they swatted the Wolf Cavalry members into mincemeat. The Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans frantically wrapped around the broken bodies and quickly absorbed their blood.
Yang Feng silently recited an incantation, pointed at the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans, and a greenray of magic radiance shot at them. The Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans immediately bloomed with blood-red flowers.
The blood-red flowers sprayed large quant.i.ties of pink mist at the Wolf Cavalry members.
Upon being hit by the pink mist, the Wolf Cavalry members swayed and fell into a deep sleep.
Yang Feng pointed at the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans again. The demonic rattans, which absorbed large quant.i.ties of blood, released seeds. After being illuminated by Yang Feng’s magic radiance, the seeds quickly grew into mature Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans. The tentacle-like, enormous demonic rattans covered in barbs pierced at the Wolf Cavalry members.
Faced with the attack from the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans, the Wolf Cavalry suddenly suffered great losses – over 200 of the Wolf Cavalry members were devoured by the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans. The Wolf Cavalry members, without halting their steps, slammed into the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans and were sucked dry.
Merc, the leader of the Wolf Cavalry, who charged at the frontmost, was the first person to be swatted to death by the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans and had his blood sucked dry, leaving the Wolf Cavalry rudderless.
After losing over half of its members to the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans, the Wolf Cavalry finally collapsed and then fled in helter-skelter.
The slaves were dumbstruck, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
With a peculiar glint in her beautiful eyes, Lina said in excitement: “So amazing! Is this the strength of a Great Warlock? So powerful!”
Nancy frowned slightly. She was filled with curiosity: “How come the magic this human Great Wizard wields is so similar to the plant magic we elves grasp? The only difference is that the plants he uses are br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tyranny and murderousness, and carry a kind of evil aura!”
The Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans were killing machines cultivated by the Turandot Subcontinent’s dark elves, they were extremely powerful and wicked. This was the first time demonic rattans revealed their vicious fangs in the Feisuo Plane.
“Attack!!” Clive ordered and immediately led the 200 Iman Princ.i.p.ality’s royal guards to rush at the Wolf Cavalry.
Yang Feng still casually cast the level-0 spell Web a dozen times. Large, cobweb-like nets appeared out of thin air, dropped on the Wolf Cavalry members, and stuck to them.
Clive led his people in a charge and captured a dozen Wolf Cavalry members.
There were no good warhorses in the Rydgex City and ordinary horses couldn’t catch up with the Wolf Cavalry, which was why Clive only managed to capture a dozen Wolf Cavalry members.
Yang Feng pointed at the Blood-Sucking Demonic Rattans, which wanted to devour the unconscious Wolf Cavalry members. The demonic rattans turned sluggish, contracted, split into 2 seeds, and flew back to him.
