Chapter 1501 - 471: Frostfire Rages, Success and Vengeance, River Mouth Massacre, Another Expert?
After Xia Hong made up his mind, he took a Vermilion Wood Mask from his Yellow Mustard Bag, put it on his face, and swiftly flew toward the south in the direction of River Mouth Village.
Heading south from Qingwu Village, he would pass through three villages’ rice collection areas. In mid-air, Xia Hong quickly surveyed these areas and immediately assessed the rebellion situation in the seven villages to the north.
"Five villages succeeded, two villages are still fighting; the northern seven villages are totally successful now. The southern eight villages should be in a similar state. If all these fifteen villages succeed, and River Mouth Village can hold on until reinforcements arrive from those villages, this uprising will be accomplished — it’s impressive..."
Covering over thirty kilometers, Xia Hong arrived swiftly.
As expected, the rice collection area of River Mouth Village was fiercely engaged in battle, and compared to the situations in the other villages, the warfare here was evidently more brutal.
First was the number of participants from both sides. On the eastern outskirts of Su Field, two groups were only engaged in the front row slaughter, maintaining a distinct separation overall.
On one side was a well-trained armored army that preserved their combat formation even in fierce battle, with around four thousand troops. They not only had war armor, but also bows, shields, and even large human-powered battle carts among other combat materials. Additionally, more than three thousand unarmored troops were collaborating with them; at least one-third of these were at the Cold Resistance Level;
The other side was worse off, numbering over thirty thousand, but with only a little over a thousand Cold Resistance Level troops in armor. Unarmored Cold Resistance Level troops numbered roughly six or seven hundred, and the majority didn’t even have decent weapons, holding iron scythes like the people from Qingwu Village. Among the remaining twenty-eight thousand people, over three thousand at the Earth-digging Realm Limit held weapons, yet their effectiveness was extremely limited; ordinary Earth-digging Realm soldiers were even less worth mentioning.
"Initially, there were not just thirty thousand; at least over ten thousand are dead on the ground, ninety percent of whom are slaves, armored soldiers are few..."
Xia Hong glanced at the situation on the ground roughly, his brow slightly furrowed.
"The situation in Qingwu Village was already difficult to watch, and now River Mouth Village’s situation is far more horrific."
"The number of dead is truly excessive!"
Furthermore, the battle persisted at this moment, with people continuing to fall, especially on the rebel side, akin to rice stalks in Su Field against a large-scale army. A single battle cart charge would result in at least dozens of deaths, and a wave of arrow rain would mean hundreds or even thousands would perish...
"It’s been over fifteen years now in the Great Xia Calendar. Since the Mud Slope era, Xia Hong has valued population. Such large-scale death, in his inherent understanding, only occurs when deceitful monsters wreak havoc."
"It’s all outsiders’ affairs, no need to interfere too much, eh..."
Xia Hong shook his head, suppressing unnecessary thoughts, suddenly noticing something, and lowered his gaze toward the frontline combat area.
"Hahaha, a bunch of rabble from the Frost Ash Association think they can overthrow us. You vile lot, drop your weapons and surrender now!"
A loud shout suddenly echoed in the battlefield area, then a silver arc-shaped blade light, dozens of meters long, swiftly flew from a battle cart.
Whoosh...
The sword light roared forward, slicing dozens of armored Cold Resistance Level rebels in half. What’s more lethal, before the first sword light dissipated, a second massive blade light flew from the battle cart behind.
"Xianyang Level!"
"It’s Chu Qingwu."
"Commander of the Lu River Camp."
...
The Xianyang Level is not invincible, especially in large-scale battles. Unless there are many, relying on only a few Xianyang Levels to influence the outcome is impossible.
However, the battlefield at this moment first defies the notion of large-scale, and secondly was already exhibiting a one-sided situation. The Chen Cang Government, in the advantageous position, unveiled another Xianyang Level expert.
In an instant, they shattered the mental defenses of the rebel forces.
A deep sense of despair welled up on the faces of all the uprising rebels.
Clang...
Yet, at the instant Chu Qingwu’s second blade light flew out, a bright point suddenly emerged from the rebel flank.
The light point moved quickly, transforming into a sharp beam in an instant, striking right at the center of the blade light.
The intense and ear-piercing sound of gold and stone clashing made everyone at the front of the battlefield immediately clutch their ears in pain. The powerful shockwave reverberated out, creating a vacant area of about ten meters radius at the front of the battlefield.
"A dignified Xianyang Level bullying a bunch of Earth-digging Realm civilians, is this all the Chu Family can do? What Landgrave’s Lineage — I think it’s bullshit!"
A tall figure, wearing a Green-faced Fanged Evil Ghost Mask, wielding a blood-red longsword, pointed it at the saber held by Chu Qingwu with a slight mocking sneer before swiftly retreating, hovering in mid-air.
"Green-faced Fanged is the Heavenly King. I knew the main helm would send the Heavenly King in support of this uprising. Hahaha, it’s the Heavenly King!"
Upon witnessing the person in mid-air wearing the Green-faced Fanged Mask, several individuals on the rebel side voiced joy, their spirits lifted immensely.
"Heavenly King!"
Blocked by one sword, Chu Qingwu looked at the Frost Ash Association’s Heavenly King wearing the Green-faced Fanged Mask, his expression instantly grew solemn.
Chen Cang’s suppression and pursuit of the Frost Ash Association had lasted for over twenty years. The main reason they hadn’t uprooted this organization was twofold: the unique organizational structure of the Frost Ash Association, and the core personnel of the organization being too mysterious.
