Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1997 - 637: 200,000 vs 1,400,000 (Part 5)
"You... you demon from the bloody sea of Po Yi!" If nobody held him back, the Mulan general, with a head as large as a vat, would have already drawn his scimitar to charge at Old Liu.
"Tremble!" Liu Zhenhan raised the string of beaded heads high, and his nightmare steed stood upright, cooperating with a long neigh: "This will be your fate as well!"
The "Fragrant Hyacinth" pinned to his lapel made this bold proclamation roll across the sky above the wasteland like thunder.
The destruction of the vanguard legion had already greatly saddened the Mulanese. Liu Zhenhan’s provocative taunt instantly incited their anger. The commanders abandoned the battlefield’s unwritten rule of not killing messengers, dispatched their best swordsmen and fastest camels to kill the detestable Beamon on the spot. To their surprise, Liu Zhenhan drew two Damascus scimitars, cutting down seven Mojie along with their camels with ease, and made a swift escape.
The messengers, like a hornet’s nest, carried the orders of their commander, desperately whipping their steeds, and galloped towards the Sea Clan troops surrounding Witherspoon from the east, west, and north.
"This is such a waste of time! By the time the legions in the other three directions receive the order, at least two hours will have passed, and even if they regroup, they won’t be able to launch an attack by nightfall! Anyway, this main southern city wall is the widest, let’s have our elite legion launch the attack ourselves. If we take down this wall, the city will be doomed!" Neither the Sea Clan nor the Mulanese have the Bone Chain Box of the Demon Clan. Although some units can communicate using magic devices, ninety percent of the combat units still rely on the most primitive communication methods. After Prince Similian issued the order for a general attack, he impatiently instructed the messenger to cancel the previous order.
"Just us?" The Siren Marquess quickly interjected: "Your Highness, is this really a good idea? It would take us at least half a month to produce siege engines. You can’t get provoked by that Beamon into acting recklessly! The Mulan vanguard legion of a full 100,000 cavalry was devastated precisely because they lacked siege engines!"
"What do you mean by reckless? Who says we lack siege engines? Our octopus warriors are experts in climbing! Also, don’t the Mulanese have two gnome siege war chariots? Use those to smash the gates; once we break through, we win! They still have 20,000 Dile archers! Plus stone shots! I’ll have the whale warriors hurl stone shots at the walls; as long as they create pits, our crab knights can climb up the walls! No cloud ladders or tower carts, right? We have giant tortoises, climb onto their shells, then up their necks, and we’ll reach the top! How many do they have? How many do we have? We’ll exhaust them!" Prince Similian snorted coldly: "Marquess Camilla, are you scared by the nonsense the vanguard survivors told you? Those guys were delirious, who knows if they’re speaking the truth! I don’t believe that Beamon in the Magic Wasteland has such forces! Even if they do, so what? We have 2,000 Storm Splitter mages and the beyond-era Avril!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Even so, at least wait until the ballistae and stone throwers are ready first! Besides the Dile slave archers, Storm Splitter mages, and Avril, we don’t have any other long-range attack firepower, and assembling Avril will take at least half a day!" The Siren Marquess still felt Prince Similian was too impulsive.
Her caution was partly because the Sea Clan’s long-range weapons like arrowfish, goldlance fish, and garfish couldn’t be used on land, and partly due to the natural fear of Beamon.
The "Weaken Spell" of the priests had direct damage to the Sirens. If their opponent were humans and not Beamon, the Siren Marquess would have volunteered even before Prince Similian gave the order. Although the Sea Clan coalition guarding the southern main city wall of Witherspoon only had 300,000 troops, they were all elite units.
"Marquess Camilla, you know very well that dealing with Beamon using just the Mulan army is more than enough! Our true strategic purpose of landing on the Donau Wasteland with such a powerful force is to push south and attack humanity from two fronts with our Kalimdo allies! Now, solving Beamon as quickly as possible aligns with our strategic objectives! Even if I can’t break the situation immediately... pfft! That won’t happen! If it does, we’ll spend half a day assembling Avril, and the city still won’t stand!" Prince Similian impatiently waved off the Siren Marquess and called over the messenger again: "Go! Notify all the Storm Splitter mages and Mulan Imams to gather here through the ’Well Teleportation Array’! Also, call over the Coral Peak Prince, His Highness Rhinekel, who commands the northern army!"
The Siren Marquess saw that the Mulan commanders were also eager, and prudently stepped aside without further comment. Since Prince Similian was ready to deploy the Coral Peak Prince and the Mermaid Guild Master, this battle was destined to erupt.
Returning to Witherspoon, Liu Zhenhan also realized that this battle was imminent. The Sea Clan’s army was simply too vast! If he were Prince Similian, he might even skip setting up camp and attack directly.
