Chapter 1012
1012 Before the battle (1)
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became a little depressing.
The burly man’s words made everyone’s expression turn ugly, and they began to drink.
Ever since the appearance of the otherworldly demons, the nobles of Snow City had been extremely nervous and had tried their best to gather information about them.
As they obtained more and more information, they became more and more afraid of the otherworldly demons!
This group of people was said to be from the world beyond the heavens, and they indeed had many powerful means. Whether it was their cultivation or their weapons, they were enough to crush the natives of this world.
If it were not for the fact that they had an unstable foundation, limited numbers, and had been entrenched in River View Village for a generation, the influential people in Snow City would have left with their family property long ago.
Even though this would cause huge losses, it was nothing compared to the destruction of their Foundation.
However, with the formation of Demon Slayer legions in various places, and the various native forces treating the otherworldly demons as their killing targets, the nobles in Snow City suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. They believed that Holy Dragon City would not be able to resist such a slaughter!
Since that was the case, there was no need for them to take the risk and withdraw their assets from Snow City.
However, the series of events that happened later made these influential people’s hearts rise again.
First, spies and adventurers kept disappearing near River View Village. Then, bargof led his troops to attack the otherworldly demons, but he was intimidated by the other party’s powerful means.
Bargof, who had always been known for his tough methods, could only set up camp outside the boundaries set by the otherworldly demons, not daring to cross the line at all!
When the news reached Snow City, the nobles who were waiting for the news were greatly disappointed.
In the end, a few days later, the defenseless Snow City was completely turned upside down.
Even the castle of balguv had been burned to the ground. It could be said to be a heavy loss!
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that although this matter appeared to be the doing of the native cultivators, it was in fact related to the otherworldly demons.
Perhaps the otherworldly demons were using this method to take revenge on bargof.
However, the rich and powerful were also out of luck. The chaos in Snow City had caused their businesses to suffer a lot of losses.
All these losses were naturally pushed onto the otherworldly demons. Thus, to a certain extent, the nobles of Snow City had a grudge against the otherworldly demons!
However, it was not worth it to fight to the death with the otherworldly demons because of such a small loss. It might even cause more losses.
Watching the fire from across the river was an action that was in line with their interests.
The nobles and influential people were participating in the battle to defend the city. Part of the reason was that Holy Dragon City had descended too suddenly and deployed its troops too quickly. The nobles and influential people of Snow City did not have time to react.
In addition, balguv was using both hard and soft tactics, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to help defend the city.
As for whether these nobles would truly protect Snow City at the risk of their lives when the battle broke out, that would depend on the situation!
……
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. A long convoy was slowly advancing. It was the Holy Dragon city’s First Legion that was going to attack Snow City.
To be precise, this Army belonged to the first Army of the 1st Legion, the Holy Dragon city’s trump card Army!
The weakest warrior in this Army was a level 3 cultivator. In an ordinary low-level city, they were qualified to join a cultivator battle team.
However, in the Holy Dragon City, a level-three monk could only become an ordinary warrior of the first Army!
As for the current cultivator battle team, it was completely made up of Lord-level cultivators and could be called the elite of the elite!
It was also because of this that the number of cultivators in the Holy Dragon city’s cultivator battle team had greatly shrunk, but they had become more powerful!
Currently, the 1st Legion also had a cultivator battle team of dozens of people. Once they joined the battlefield, they would definitely become the enemy’s nightmare!
Relying on these strong residents and all kinds of excellent equipment, the outcome of the battle was almost certain.
However, this powerful Army was now having a headache from the terrible road at their feet.
The roads in this world were only suitable for the use of primitive vehicles such as horse carriages. They were rugged and had limited width, which greatly reduced the speed of the Holy Dragon City Army.
If Holy Dragon city’s chariots had not been specially designed to adapt to harsh terrain, their speed would have been much slower.
However, if that was the case, it would be impossible to reach Snow City in time.
Tai Seng didn’t put this matter to heart. After all, Tang Zhen didn’t set a time limit, and he only needed to take down Snow City as soon as possible.
“General, I heard that our loucheng is researching a type of space carrier that can transport troops over long distances. I wonder when it will be put into use?
It’s more comfortable to fly in the sky. Marching on such a road is simply too tiring!”
A young Holy Dragon City officer turned around and asked Tai Seng.
that kind of thing won’t be useful in the short term. You don’t need to think about it. Just sit in the car!
I’m fine, ” Tyson replied casually, but his eyes were fixed on the holographic screen in front of him. He was reading the collected military intelligence and drawing something on the map.
As the commander of the army, he had to know all this information.
Just by looking at the contents of this map, he could understand the Holy Dragon city’s battle plan. They were obviously not satisfied with just a small area like the xueman territory.
In truth, Tang Zhen’s goal was to directly control the entire Tianji province and make it easier for the following plundering operation.
As for controlling the entire continent, although Tang Zhen had the ability to do so, he simply couldn’t manage it. Therefore, he didn’t have any plans in this area for the time being.
Moreover, for the current Holy Dragon City, the resources of a province were enough to fill their appetites!
His gaze swept across the map before finally landing on Snow City.
Through the real-time surveillance video sent back by the high-altitude drone, Tai Seng could clearly see that Snow City had been heavily guarded and the city walls were filled with soldiers.
However, using this method to defend the city against the Holy Dragon City was simply courting death!
If balguv was smart enough to split up all his soldiers and launch a surprise attack in the city buildings and forests, it might bring him some trouble.
But now?
It was estimated that after this wave of attack, the walls of Snow City would turn blood red!
Just as Tai Seng was deep in thought, a series of rapid gunshots suddenly came from the front, causing him to frown slightly.
why are there gunshots? what happened? ”
Following Tai Seng’s inquiry, a soldier quickly reported back that the team that was clearing the way had been ambushed by native cultivators. There were about a hundred of them, and they had been wiped out!
“What’s the background of this native cultivator?”
Tai Seng’s brows raised as he asked in a deep voice.
according to the items collected from the corpses, these ambushers should be believers of some native God. They were very crazy in battle!
alright! Tai Seng nodded and his face returned to its usual cold and indifferent look.
The followers of these indigenous gods were the primary targets of the Holy Dragon city’s vigilance. Compared to the indigenous forces, they were more stubborn and difficult to deal with. With the support and instigation of the gods behind them, they could do anything crazy.
The Holy Dragon city’s goal was to collect the world’s origin and hunt down the indigenous gods. In the future, they would have to deal with these believers, and it would be the kind that would see blood!
stay alert and speed up. I’ll reach Snow City by tomorrow morning!
Following Tai Seng’s orders, the speed of the Army increased once more as they approached their destination!
