Chapter 122: A Sky of Fire and Rain

  "The Peiping family is indeed generous, four imperial elders, plus the two major Dou Qi Gong Hui's four late-stage Dou Zun, such a large lineup to kill me, I, Du Wei, really feel honored."

  "Of course, there are also those unknown mid-tier eagle-type magical beasts that have been mass-produced for military use on the continent. I've never seen anything like it before. I don't know what price the Peiping family paid, but it's certainly an eye-opener."

  Upon hearing the old man's words full of killing intent, Huang Jinbi, who looked young in appearance and was also one of the three elders of the Beastman Kingdom's Elder Council, calmly replied with a single sentence. At this moment, Da Wei was standing shoulder to shoulder with an elderly Huang Jinbi wearing a black long gown.

  More than ten paces in front of them were four old men wearing long white robes, two old men wearing long cyan robes, and two old men wearing pale red robes. The waists of these eight old men all hung with a long sword, obviously powerful warriors rather than high-ranking magicians.

  The white-robed old man who had just spoken stood in the middle of the eight, his right hand wearing a ring with two blue and green gemstones that was clearly no ordinary object.

  These eight elderly men were simply standing in a row, but the aura emanating from their bodies was absolutely powerful. In the surroundings of the confrontation between the top ten strongmen, a large number of Bi Mon tribe and wolf tribe warriors were besieging a group of over a thousand human fighters wearing black clothes.

  The military camp behind the fort had long been in disarray, with residual waves of fighting spirit everywhere, and dozens of tents were already ablaze. However, the defenders of the fort had no time to put out the fire, because they faced these black-clad warriors who were all very powerful.

  Several middle-aged Bimon warriors, wearing dark long robes and holding long swords with a hint of golden color, were each dealing with a black-clad human who wielded a long sword that produced a few sounds of wind and thunder. In addition, several Bimon warriors wearing light gold armor and holding silver-white long swords had to face two black-clad humans each.

  In other battle circles, although they were all beast warriors besieging the black-clad humans, the opponent's powerful Dou Qi cultivation made it impossible for them to achieve anything for the time being, and instead, many beast warriors were lost.

  While Octavius was speaking, another old man in a long black robe, Huang Jin Bimont, appeared by his side with a flash of breath.

  "It's impossible for you to wait for reinforcements, from last night onwards the Imperial strongmen have been tying down all the veteran generals within a thousand miles around you, and as for your Flying Hawks!"

  As soon as the white-robed old man in front of him finished speaking, the corpses of the two hawks were thrown at his feet. The two hawks, which had once been covered in pure white feathers, now had bloodstains all over their bodies, with an iron arrow inserted into each of their chests.

  "Alright, I was wondering where your early and mid-term powerhouses went, now I can rest assured." Seeing the white-robed old man's hawk at his feet, both Old Huang Jin and Bi Meng's faces didn't look too good, but Yu Da Wei still had a calm and indifferent expression.

  Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Wudai's foot stomped and he flashed towards an old man in a green robe standing at the edge of the eight people opposite him. At the same time as he moved, a golden long sword appeared in his hand, its tip stabbing straight at the other person's throat.

  Just now when they confronted each other, both sides were secretly concentrating their spirits and quietly guarding against the other's sudden attack. At the same time, these eight elderly humans of the Farnode Empire were all powerful figures who shook one side of the empire, so Uwaya's sneak attack this time would not have too great an effect.

  The old man in the green robe reacted extremely quickly, and Yu Dafu's speed was absolutely lightning-fast. After falling behind, he could still instantly draw his waist sword and swing it up to block Yu Dafu's thrusting long sword.

  With a "peng" sound, one kick didn't hit Da Wei's toes, and he fell towards the other side several steps away.

  "Trouble the four of you to clean up these two, and Yudai will teach us." As Yudai took action, the two old men, Huang Jinbi and Meng, also drew their long swords and stabbed at one of the elderly men. The people on the opposite side also drew their swords in response, and the middle-aged man ordered a sentence before directly attacking Yudai who had just landed.

  On the city wall of Emard Fortress, Liu Yu Gang and a few Bamun warriors brought several giant crossbow arrows from the bottom of the city. Suddenly, they saw a flash of red light on both sides of the mountain, and then a layer of fiery red light formed about five or six meters above their heads.

  After the light screen was formed, it continued to extend towards the back of the city wall. On both sides of the mountain, fiery red light sources appeared and connected with it. Soon, a layer of light screen completely covered from the city wall to about 100 meters behind it, completely shielding the defending army inside.

  "High-level large-scale defensive magic array." Seeing this scene, Liu Yu's feet slowed down, this was the large-scale defensive magic array he had read about many times when he studied the history of the mainland.

  In the history of the Pelong continent, many key battles have had the shadow of this high-level defensive magic formation, whose power has often decided the course of several important wars.

  Also, because the mainland's various tribes have different innate talents, their defensive magic arrays are also different. For example, the Bimeng tribe is best at fire and earth system defensive magic arrays.

  While the Second Squad had just arrived at Fort Mustel, Louis had told Liu Yu that they brought three top-notch defensive magic arrays from the kingdom's armory, but hearing about it and seeing it with one's own eyes were two different kinds of shock.

  Liu Yu and his men had just formed a light screen above their heads when countless huge fireballs fell from the sky. Like a rain of fire, these fireballs covered the entire military camp from the city wall to the rear of the fortress, where the army tents were concentrated.

  Although the explosion sound of the fireball hitting the light screen was deafening, the fiery red light screen above Liu Yu's head completely blocked the impact of the fireball and did not allow the beast tribe guards below to suffer any harm. However, the beast tribe barracks and military tents behind the light screen were not so lucky.

  Those falling fireballs crashed into the military camp behind the fortress with a deafening roar, and the scattered sparks ignited almost everything they touched.

  Especially the coarse canvas tents in the rear were the best fuel, and soon the entire rear was turned into a sea of fire. The big fire not only burned countless military equipment and food, but also let many beast warriors who couldn't react in time get burned.

  Hearing the beast tribe warriors' mournful cries, Liu Yu turned his head to see several beast tribe warriors, already engulfed in flames and running wildly in agony, about to be burned to a crisp.

  "No!" At this moment, Liu Yu suddenly felt that these beast warriors being tortured by the fierce flames were like his own family members. A strong and sharp heartache filled his mind instantly, and he let out a loud roar before rushing to rescue them.

  "Hold your position, soldier!" Before Liu Yu could run down the city wall, a huge force from behind grabbed him back.

  Liu Yu, furious to the point of madness, turned around and saw Cain staring at him with a stern face, while letting out a loud roar that stopped some beastmen warriors who were about to turn back to rescue.

  "Mother Earth, who nurtures all things, listen to my call, accept my command, and vanquish my enemies..." Just as Liu Yu wanted to break free from Kain's grasp, an old Huang Jin Bimon, dressed in a golden formal attire of the Bimon tribe, walked out of a stone house by the city wall.

  He held a staff as tall as his shoulder in his hand, with a fist-sized brownish-black stone embedded on the top of the staff. Behind this old man, several elderly men dressed in brown and black robes similar to those worn by the Bimong people walked out of the stone house. Then, the mountain body shook violently, and several stone gates appeared on both sides of the mountain wall, from which several similarly dressed elderly men walked out.

  These old men, in a more orderly manner than the Monds, followed the front row of old Huangjins and chanted together. They also had a staff in their hands, with a slightly smaller brownish-black stone embedded on top.

  At the same time, these old monks would strike the ground heavily with their staffs in hand as they walked, and as the rhythm of their striking the ground became more uniform, the ground began to shake slightly, and there were waves of sand and dust in the air, making the view of the defending soldiers on the city wall increasingly blurred.

  "Hurry up, hurry up!" The Liu Yu on the city wall had been quiet since the old Huang Jin Bimont appeared, and from the incantation chanted by the old Huang Jin Bimont and the intense earth element fluctuations around him, he knew that a large-scale earth system magic was being prepared.

  Then the old man appeared, urging him to start in a low voice. Because he saw those beast warriors wrapped in flames in the distance, many of whom had already fallen to the ground, probably unable to hold on, but this sound was likely to be heard by no one except himself.

  "In the name of Mother Earth, summon earth nourishment!" As the chanting of more than a dozen Mong magic masters came to an end, the entire garrison inside the fortress only felt a strong tremor under their feet. The next moment, the land beneath their feet seemed to come alive, stirring up layers of thick sand and soil that completely engulfed the burning military tents, weapons, and beast tribe warriors.

  After a moment, the earth returned to calmness. A large number of beast warriors jumped out from under the sand layer, and the fire at the rear of the camp had been completely extinguished.

  "General, the Eagle Riders report that several large-scale magical attacks have been completed. The senior mages of the First Aerial Knights may need to take a break for a while."

  "Get the Second Air Cavalry airborne immediately, prepare for the next wave of magic attacks." In front of Emal's fortress, at the mouth of the valley, a human officer riding a warhorse, surrounded by several cavalrymen holding torches, wearing blue uniforms and green cloaks, gave orders after listening to a report from one of his cavalrymen.

  Under the fiery light, this tribal military officer wore a helmet with red hair-like feathers on top, resembling a rooster's crest, and three blue-green star-shaped medals shone on his chest plate.

  "Have the catapults and ballistae ready, when the Second Aerial Knights begin their attack, we will also launch a full-scale assault." The officer turned around to glance at several massive catapults and ballistae pulled by horses, and gave orders to a nearby cavalryman.

  "Yes" The cavalryman bowed his head in response and immediately spurred on his warhorse to transmit the order.

  "Take Emarr's fortress!" The officer's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he gazed out at the castle walls ahead, ablaze with torches.

  Welcome to vote for recommendations, your support is Liu Yu's greatest motivation to become stronger.
