I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 148 - 75: Blazing Flame’s Momentum, Giant Crossbows Deployed (Qiu Yue Ballot)
"Blazing Flame issues a command, gather the troops from all divisions!"
In the Northern Lands wilderness, north of the Zhushui River Basin, tribes received the Blazing Flame Tribe’s clan order.
What gives Blazing Flame the right to command us!
In the mountain wilderness, a cold shout echoed, but this did not stop the dissemination of the Blazing Flame clan order, the sound could only echo in the barren mountain wilderness.
Dozens of clan soldiers spread the order across the mountains and wilderness, delivering the Blazing Flame Tribe Leader’s command wherever Human Race tribes resided.
Copper Shell Ruins Market.
The former market was long gone, with large logs driven into the ground on the plains, neatly cut giant stones stacked into simple outer walls, a camp rose from the ground.
Mountain-Splitting Kui came and went, delivering messages.
Figures inside and out were constantly digging trenches, setting traps outside the camp, preparing for the arrival of tribe soldiers.
In the center of the camp sat a cyan-colored large tent, over six zhang high, a trophy from the Xiaoyang Race.
Outside the large tent were tents of varying sizes.
On watchtowers over ten zhang tall, giant crossbows gleamed coldly, guarded by Blazing Flame Race soldiers with fierce eyes.
In the sky, flying birds fluttered back and forth, some flying into the distant mountains, circling a large loop back.
Huo Shan walked in the camp, supervising the construction of the camp.
"Send scouts further out, everything within five hundred li must be understood clearly."
Having fought alongside Huo Chang and the Xiaoyang Race for so long, Huo Shan learned the basics of military operations.
"Keep your eyes wide open, the Xiaoyang Race is desperate now; they could use any trick."
"Those of you with the giant crossbows, don’t just watch outside, keep an eye on inside the camp too."
The giant crossbows from the Lingyu Bo Division’s ironwood ships, after years of research by Huo Chong and others, have finally been made.
However, the strength and reliability still fell short compared to the original Lingyu version.
But this is not a big issue, what lacks in strength is made up in numbers.
Additionally, these giant crossbows have been forged in segments according to Shen Can’s requirements, making them easier to disassemble and carry while running.
The entire camp started from four corners, totaling sixty-four watchtowers, each equipped with two giant crossbows.
Besides that, some concealed giant crossbows were inside the large tent in the camp. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
One must have a wary heart, it’s not disbelief in one’s clan but disbelief in those cursed or controlled within the clan.
In the mountain wilderness, anything can happen.
...
The Cyan Bird Division’s soldiers are thirty li from the camp."
A Mountain-Splitting Kui rushed in from afar, shouting as he dashed into the camp.
"They’re coming quite fast."
Upon receiving the news, Huo Shan stood at the height of the camp’s gate, needing to receive in place of Huo Chang who had not yet arrived.
As the first tribe to respond to Blazing Flame’s command, all previous disputes are now irrelevant.
Rumble!
The Cyan Bird Division’s soldiers turned into a torrent from the distant forest, led by Cang Hex.
"The Cyan Bird Division gathers eight hundred clan soldiers to respond to Blazing Flame’s order."
Cang Hex looked at Huo Shan above, gathering blood Qi in his chest, his voice booming.
Blazing Flame’s rise is unstoppable; without the Blazing Flame Tribe’s protection, the Xiaoyang Race could slaughter the Northern Tribe to extinction.
Cang Hex had long seen clearly, since there was no stopping it, he would go with the flow.
With the arrival of Blazing Flame’s clan order, he didn’t mind continuing to bolster Blazing Flame’s prestige.
"Open the camp gate!"
The camp gate opened, Cang Hex led the tribe soldiers into the camp.
Everyone looked up to see the gleaming, cold arrows; at this distance, no matter how they dodge, they couldn’t evade a single strung outcome.
...
"Cyan Stone Mountain Division, come under the command of Blazing Flame Race Leader with tribe soldiers!"
"Minggu Division, respond to Blazing Flame’s order with tribe soldiers."
...
"Burning Fire Division, come under the command of Blazing Flame’s order!"
...
At Copper Shell Camp, tribe soldiers from various tribes arrived.
Meanwhile, Huo Chang from the Blazing Flame Tribe was preparing to head to Copper Shell Camp.
This time, for the decisive battle with the Xiaoyang Race, he’s drawn four thousand tribe soldiers, leaving two thousand to guard the Clan Division.
In the Ancestral Temple, Huo Chang placed the offering on the sacrificial table.
"This battle is my Blazing Flame’s battle for prestige. If successful, Blazing Flame will be revered by all divisions, and I shall go all out!"
"I pray for ancestral protection!"
After worshipping ancestors, Huo Chang walked out.
The Ancestral Temple stood high, walking outside he could see the West Mountain Camp, the tribe soldiers were ready to set off.
Some auxiliary soldiers carried big bags.
In the battle with the Xiaoyang Race, armor and arrows are naturally most important.
Since fighting the Xiaoyang Race, Blazing Flame has constantly slain the Xiaoyang Race, acquiring a large number of weapons.
This time, Huo Chang went to the camp, directly bringing a batch to bestow upon each tribe’s soldiers.
Before the fight even starts, they give out armor.
Blazing Flame is just this generous.
This batch of armor was selected by the Blazing Flame Tribe, not being broken, and were repaired by clan artisans.
Even though Xiaoyang Race’s small tribes are small, they’ve mixed in Ji Land and robbed quite a bit of Ji Land Human Race armor.
These armors and weapons, common in Ji Land, are considered rare in the Northern Lands.
Northern Tribes suffer many hardships, Shen Can doesn’t even need to see to guess each tribe soldier’s equipment isn’t great.
Starting off with a batch of arms, it’s a message to all divisions that listening to Blazing Flame brings benefits.
As Upper Division, Blazing Flame has broad vision, not caring about these small resources.
"With this batch of weapons and armor, it should be enough to re-equip the arriving tribe soldiers."
As for the batch of weapons sent out, Huo Chang like Shen Can felt no reluctance.
