Chapter 1542: Beast Tide (12)
Shen Yanxiao did not panic when the beast tide attacked.
“Yang Xi, send out the flying troops.” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and ordered.
With a single command, all the aerial magical beasts of the four-nation alliance and Sun Never Sets moved out. Each of them was grabbing onto a barrel of black oil.
The soldiers of the four-nation alliance did not know what Shen Yanxiao wanted to do. The beast tide was just outside the city gates, but Shen Yanxiao did not send anyone out to fight. Instead, she asked them to gather all their flying magical beasts.
However, Shen Yanxiao had made true with her previous promise. She did not let them become cannon fodder.
There were tens of thousands of aerial magical beasts in the four-nation alliance and Sun Never Sets. These magical beasts flew toward the demon beasts outside the Sun Never Sets with their mythical beasts.
There were not many flying demon beasts among the demon beasts. Thus, before the hundreds of flying demon beasts could unleash their fury, they were killed by the tens of thousands of flying troops.
The flying magical beast hovered above the demon beast, and Vermilion Bird suddenly let out a cry. All the flying magical beasts dropped the oil barrel under their feet at the same time!
One by one, oil barrels the length of an arm smashed down on the demon beasts like rain. The demon beasts released furious roars, but they realized that it did not hurt when it hit them. It was just sticky and uncomfortable.
The kerosene in the barrel covered the demon beasts that were closest to Sun Never Sets. The next second, all the fire-elemental magical beasts released their most powerful fire magic!
In an instant, raging flames rapidly spread on the demon beasts at the front, and the speed at which the oil was ignited was astonis.h.i.+ngly fast.
The entire stampede was engulfed in flames.
The magical beasts relied on their advantage in the air and started to chase after the demon beasts that were surrounded by flames.
Demon beasts cried out miserably under the high temperature.
On the city walls of Sun Never Sets, everyone witnessed the scene of the demon beasts being burnt. They looked at the expressionless Shen Yanxiao in surprise. They did not expect that she would come up with such an idea during their first clash with the demons!
She was using up all the kerosene that had yet to be produced as artillery sh.e.l.ls!
The flames formed a natural barrier around Sun Never Sets. Even though the demon beasts had rough skin and thick flesh, they could not withstand the flames.
The demon beasts at the forefront had been burnt by the flames to the extent they wailed. Shen Yanxiao’s method had easily eliminated tens of thousands of demon beasts.
While everyone was in high spirits, Shen Yanxiao did not relax in the slightest.
Looking at the dense demon beast army in front of her, she was extremely shocked.
This was only the beginning. If they wanted to repel the beast tide, relying on this little cleverness was far from enough.
“Brother Siyu, I’ll leave the rest to you.” Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Siyu. She could not let the inexperienced men from the four-nation alliance and Sun Never Sets do the first part of the battle. Otherwise, they would probably suffer heavy casualties due to their lack of knowledge about the demon beasts. Therefore, it was the best choice for the G.o.d Realm to attack first.
Shen Siyu smiled and nodded. With a wave of his arm, the tens of thousands of G.o.d envoys from the G.o.d Realm immediately moved out.
The gates of Sun Never Sets were opened and the G.o.d envoys dressed in white stepped into the battlefield. A faint halo could be seen enveloping them.
That was not a Priest’s holy s.h.i.+eld, but a shroud of divine power.
As if they had sensed the divine power, the demon beasts that were isolated by the flames began to roar in unease.
