Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 833 - 432: Night Raid (Part 2)
Tie Dan suddenly looked up, and with his super dynamic vision, he immediately caught a flash of cold light in the sky, clearly seeing an iron kite gliding from high above.
Hmm, an iron kite, just an iron kite... damn it... fighting is one thing, but using drones seems a bit underhanded...
"Boom!"
"Aoooo!"
"There are traps!"
"Everyone be careful! There’s Sky-shaking Thunder!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Aoooo!"
Alright, they started with a Ten Absolute Array right in our faces; is there anything they wouldn’t use? With drones setting fire and jump mines ambushing us, the first round burned the supply carts and injured over a dozen people with severed limbs. Yes, that was just the first round...
"Whoosh—boom!"
"Colo—nel—!"
The Colonel exploded, flesh flying everywhere, his whole body was blown apart like a shambled mess...
Tie Dan staggered over, scanned the exploded corpse pit, and casually dragged Ma Qiu out from the pile of dead bodies, checking the shrapnel stuck in his helmet.
An aviation explosive, the Nascent Soul General even with his Gang Fist Horizontal Refining Hard Qi Technique, can withstand the shock wave, but without armor, facing it is a bit overwhelming...
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"There are fiendish birds above! Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!"
"Hold the line! Steady! Steady!"
"Boom!"
"There are mines! There are mines on the ground!"
"Line up! Line up!"
It’s happening again...
As a result, this strong army sweeping the Central Plains couldn’t advance twenty miles in a day.
Actually, the other side only flew about ten missions with drones and planted dozens of mines, but couldn’t resist sporadic attacks that scared the natives out of their wits; no one dared to move.
Even Tie Dan found it a bit hard to handle.
After all, the boss originally called for an ancient battle, passionate fights, battlefield combat generals. But you brought drone and landmine warfare, undermining their mentality. Did you really think the boss couldn’t afford a Titan super flag?
"That is a Mechanical Bird from the Immortal Palace’s Imperial Bureau."
Tie Dan casually lied, avoiding frightening the bunch with phrases like Outer Heaven Divine Weapon,
"That bird is refined with Secret Technique, capable of flying around and dropping Fire Thunder and explosive thunders on people; there’s nothing to be fearful about."
A group of Nascent Soul Generals squatted under the tree, looking at each other, convinced that this bird’s explosive can sever limbs damage generals, which is actually quite terrifying.
"Even saying that, it flies high and fast, silent and sudden, appearing and disappearing without warning, arrows can’t hit it, eagles can’t chase it, truly hard to guard against."
"They’re tracking our movements closely, killing one colonel a day. How could we as generals be spared? Over time, this will definitely cause harm."
"No need to wait long, our supplies are completely burned out, we only have rations for two days left. Can we conquer Suiyang in two days?"
"Why not seize another batch, first gather sufficient rations?"
"Where can you snatch them from? There are only forty cities, supplies for ten thousand soldiers each county, all allocated. Moreover, the Hero said it was their array, what if the city experiences an earthquake?"
"Hero, Hero, what are you thinking? Do you have any good plans?"
"I’m thinking about how you lasted ten years..."
"Ah, ah? What ghost is ten years?"
Tie Dan shook his head,
"Nothing, anyway you have no food, a big army is just a burden, move slowly here.
In any case, send people to the Eastern Capital to report and request assistance. Their Divine Weapon targets officials, doesn’t hit minor ones.
Do you have the Scout’s seal? Give me a set."
This is logical. The three exchanged glances, Ma Qiu decided, and ordered the small flag officer to lead the group, slowly advancing, while they three followed Tie Dan, rushing towards Liangdu overnight.
Tie Dan was speechless, "... Why are you all coming along? Are you abandoning your troops?"
Huyan Mo licking his face,
"Hero Chen, don’t laugh; although we have little experience, we’re not unfamiliar with Demon Sect combat magic. We know what’s happening during the killing calamity. During times like this, following strong individuals is vital for survival.
And a mere Commander isn’t worth sacrificing our lives for. Hero, consider us as dogs, and casually lead us."
Ma Qiu nodded repeatedly,
"Exactly, exactly. We’re dogs for the Stone Dragon, just for gold and women, he’s indeed generous, we can act tyrannically for him.
If victory and reward were constant, it’s okay, but at the brink of survival, who cares about the Heavenly King, every one has their own path. We’ve witnessed the hero’s skills and are convinced. As long as you lead us, the brothers are willing to follow your commands."
Ping Xian,
"I’m the same."
"Good! Let’s go!"
Tie Dan was tired of talking, and didn’t suspect them. After all, men are essentially hunters, essentially wolves. In matters of life and death, titles and lineage are useless, only those with real skills, who lead everyone to survive, can lead the wolf pack.
These three may have mediocre skills, merely having bulkier biceps, but they do have those pounds of muscle, they are worth recruiting into service.
At that moment, the four abandoned the cumbersome group, forsaking gold and jewelry, even leaving behind the flashy Divine Beast, and removed their armor, dressing as lightweight scouts, taking swords soldier for a night rapid ride towards the Liangdu camp.
Even if the iron kite drone occasionally soared overhead, potentially seen from above by someone, it still needed to monitor the army, not worthy of dropping explosives for mere scouts.
So the group rushed through the night to Liangdu, seeing from a distance the flames rising to the sky, black clouds covering the moon, mountains shaking like a sea storm, with people screaming and horses neighing, as if countless wild ghosts and spirits howling, like thousands and thousands of baboons roaring wildly.
Countless frenzied chaotic shadows danced and slaughtered under the blazing fire, crazed battling, men, women, elderly and youngsters alike, madly fighting in the Purgatory, bloody and indistinguishable.
Within that burning sea of fire, explosions and rumbling sounds constantly echoed, the sky clearly visible with silhouettes of iron kite falcons, smoke pouring from slope dives, bombarding, scattering the camp flags, exploding the skeletons and flesh in fragments.
Ping Xian whispered, "The camp has erupted." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Several seasoned veterans naturally knew it was hopeless.
This must be the Suixian Governor attacking again, and this time they’ve directly used a big batch of Mechanical Divine Birds. Previously they must have been harassing and preoccupying these auxiliary forces, while the Eastern Capital was the main battlefield, probably intending to strike first, seizing King of Hejian.
At once, everyone looked to Tie Dan, ready to follow his orders.
Tie Dan, seeing further ahead of them, noticed hidden within the clouds, red stars twinkling, red lights shining, like hundreds to thousands of red gemstones hanging in the sky, scattered like stars, and resembling blood-red eyes staring intently at the earthly massacre, the Purgatory, seemingly drooling with desire.
Blood God’s Son.
They’re all Blood God’s Sons, with so many arriving, their target clearly exceeds the mere tens of thousands of soldiers, but encompasses millions within the Eastern Capital.
This means they don’t have to wait for the Earth Sinking Array to finish charging before slaughtering the scene; they can simply gather their blood clans to attack, using the Primordial Spirit Technique to turn the city’s population into maddened Blood Demons, killing each other until none remain.
Tie Dan turned to the bunch behind him,
"Can you withstand a charge from the Blood God’s Son?"
The three shook their heads wildly.
"Stretch your hands out!"
Tie Dan didn’t have time to reject them, he condensed sword energy on his fingertips and sketched a Puppet Blood Talisman in each of their palms.
"Whenever you see red light, immediately shout, ’We’re allies’, and show off the Blood Talisman, perhaps they’ll spare you.
Since you recognize the King of Hejian, go rescue people inside the city; if he’s already dead, just grab some Shi Family kids.
They’re easy to spot, with green eyes. Those who can’t be taken, cut them down! Once ready, follow me!"
The three saw that even in such a mess, he could hold his own, and since he said he would do it, he really planned to, settling their hearts. They joined fists together,
"Understood!"
