Chapter 322: Clearing the Yang Lu Realm, Long Wu is About to Form an Army

Second Year of Great Xia, December 5th.

West of the Hive, about twenty kilometers of snowy land.

This was already considered the hinterland of Yang Lu. As with the situation when Xia Hong brought Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo to survey at the end of June, the entire area was still filled with thick white fog, and visibility was extremely low.

Roar... roar...

One could still hear uninterrupted low beast roars in the dense fog area, and compared to half a year ago, they seemed to have become even denser.

Sizzle... sizzle...

In the vast and lonely snowy area, two slight sizzling sounds suddenly came out. One could tell it was the sound of flames rising.

Boom...

A huge bonfire three or four zhang high suddenly rose from a low-lying area with a radius of over three hundred meters, instantly lighting up an area of fifty or sixty meters around it. Moreover, as the unknown black substance inside the bonfire was ignited, the black thick smoke emitted by the bonfire was slowly dispersing the white fog around it.

Those white fogs were the culprits that caused the extremely low visibility in the snowy area. After being dispersed by the black thick smoke, the area illuminated by the bonfire immediately expanded, and it grew to a radius of about one mile.

Roar... roar...

At the same time, the originally low beast roar sound in the white fog area also suddenly became violent.

Tap tap tap...

The earth suddenly trembled violently, and the sound of galloping beast hooves came from all directions. The center point where they finally gathered was exactly the location of the bonfire.

"Roar!!!"

A massive wolf head broke through the thick white fog over a hundred meters away, its blood-red pupils staring straight at the bonfire in the low-lying area, full of greed and desire.

Bang...

That frost wolf was just about to start, when it was hit straight by a larger Lei Kui from behind. Then, more than fifty cold beasts of similar size rushed out from the dense fog at the same time and rushed toward the bonfire location.

Then, more than three hundred cold beasts one size smaller than them rushed out from the dense fog area like a mountain and sea, and their target was also the bonfire.

Roar roar roar...

This was absolutely a medium-scale beast tide, and because medium-level cold beasts accounted for two-tenths of it, compared to a normal beast tide, its lethality was definitely much higher.

Such a beast tide, even a giant camp with a population of over ten thousand, was afraid that it could only become the object of beast hooves trampling, without any ability to resist.

However, this large bonfire was clearly man-made.

Daring to make it man-made, there was naturally something to rely on.

Just as the fifty or so medium-level cold beasts in the front row all stepped into the low-lying area, a violent shout suddenly came from around the low-lying area.

"Horizontal Blade Battalion, fire arrows!"

The snow along the circular low-lying area suddenly exploded. Six hundred soldiers wearing light golden armor stood up fiercely from under the snow, pulled their bows and arrows, and shot toward the fifty or so medium-level cold beasts under the low-lying area without hesitation.

Swish swish swish swish...

Hundreds of iron arrows galloping instantly lit up the entire low-lying area, and the airflow from all directions was swept by the iron arrows, rushing toward the cold beasts under the low-lying area.

Pfft... pfft... pfft...

The ten or so cold beasts on the outermost periphery suffered the baptism of the first wave of arrow rain. Although they had a body size of nearly ten meters, under the simultaneous impact of these hundreds of iron arrows, they still inevitably swayed from side to side.

And this was just the first wave of arrow rain.

Swish swish swish swish...

The six Horizontal Blade Battalions around the low-lying area didn't stop their hand movements at all after shooting the first round of iron arrows. The second wave and the third wave of arrow rain followed closely.

Bang... bang...

The cold beasts in the low-lying area finally couldn't stand firm. Once they lost their balance, it wasn't just a matter of not being able to stand firm.

A medium-level snow mane was directly hit and flew by the arrow rain, smashing onto a magic sheep in the inner layer. It tried to turn over and stand up in anger, but its body was completely suppressed by the arrow rain and couldn't stand up at all.

The magic sheep was hit until it was dizzy, and its body hadn't completely tilted over yet, but with the continuous iron arrows shooting over, it finally inevitably fell.

The situation of this snow mane and magic sheep was the epitome of the overall situation of the fifty or so medium-level cold beasts in the low-lying area at this moment. Almost all cold beasts were suppressed by the arrow rain and couldn't move. Because they were in the low-lying area, plus the distance limitation, their innate supernatural powers couldn't even be effectively deployed.

However, this beast tide was not just them.

The fifty or so medium-level cold beasts were just a part that rushed to the low-lying area the fastest.

The three hundred or so low-level cold beasts on the periphery were also rushing toward this side!

"Roar..."

"Battalions Four and Five, turn around and shoot at the beast tide on the west side. The other four battalions continue to suppress the low-lying area. Scout Battalion and Mo Dao Battalion, follow me to meet the enemy!"

Just like the way the Horizontal Blade Battalion soldiers appeared just now, on the snowy ground about fifty meters away from the periphery of the low-lying area, one figure after another suddenly stood up. On the west side was one hundred Scout Battalion soldiers holding various weapons, and on the east, south, and north directions, there were one hundred soldiers holding giant Mo Dao each.

Bang...

The three-meter-long Mo Dao was most suitable for these smaller low-level cold beasts. The nearly two hundred cold beasts in the east, south, and north directions were actually blocked on the periphery by the Mo Dao Battalion and couldn't advance an inch.

Moreover, after blocking the first wave of charges, the three Mo Dao Battalion soldiers even began to cooperate with each other and rushed out to kill, because the cold beasts couldn't break through the hundred-forged Lei Kui battle armor they were wearing, while their hundred-forged Mo Dao could easily break through the skin-membrane defense of the cold beasts.

"Vulnerable, brothers, hurry up and solve it, go help the Scout Battalion!"

"Not bad, work harder to solve it, go help on the west side!"

"A group of evil beasts, trying to act fierce, kill!"

The three troop-leading captains roared in unison, and the three hundred Mo Dao Battalion soldiers suddenly rushed out to kill even more fiercely. Compared to the cold beasts, they appeared even more ferocious.

The Scout Battalion on the west side indeed needed help!

The bonfire in the low-lying area attracted cold beasts from all directions, but as long as one observed roughly, one would find that the number of cold beasts coming from the west side, that is, the Yang Yuan Peak direction, was the largest.

The Scout Battalion on the west side, although elite, was somewhat unable to bear the charge of more than one hundred cold beasts, even with the arrow support from the two Horizontal Blade Battalions on the north and south sides of the low-lying area.

"Brothers, we are all elites of the Scout Battalion, don't let the brothers of the other nine battalions look down on us. This is the first time dealing with a medium-scale beast tide, the Scout Battalion cannot drop the chain, follow me and charge!"

Scout Battalion captain Liu Yuan was not there. The person replacing him in command at this moment was a person named Wang Yuan. He held a wide-handled barrier blade. After roaring, he forcibly hit a magic sheep in front of him and flew away, and then took the lead and killed into the center of the beast tide on the west side.

The other ninety-nine Scout Battalion elites were infected by Wang Yuan. Whether holding knives, guns, sticks, or axes... no matter what kind of weapon they held, they all roared and killed toward the center of the beast tide along the path he opened up.

The beast tide that was about to tear open the defense line was actually stopped!

Although those low-level cold beasts were all fighting desperately, and even used their respective life-saving innate means, such as snow mane spines, magic sheep golden eyes, blue moon essence hind limbs... they still couldn't stop the killing of these hundred elites.

Not only stopped, they were even killed and retreated...

"Horizontal Blade Battalion, all enter the low-lying area to finish off, Mo Dao Battalion turn to support the west side!"

Just at this moment, the previous command sound rang out again.

It turned out that the arrow quivers behind the six Horizontal Blade Battalion soldiers were basically empty.

Hearing the instruction, the six Horizontal Blade Battalion soldiers around the low-lying area, regardless of whether their arrow quivers were empty or not, all dropped the long bows in their hands, drew the horizontal blades from their waists, and rushed into the bottom of the low-lying area.

At this time, the fifty or so medium-level cold beasts at the bottom of the low-lying area had already been more than half dead or injured. Only less than twenty could barely maintain standing. From their trembling limbs, it was clear that their combat power didn't have much left.

Six hundred golden-armored soldiers rushed down, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, almost completing the slaughter of the cold beasts in the low-lying area in a crushing posture.

On the west side of the depression, with the addition of the three hundred Mo Dao Battalion soldiers from the other three directions, the Scout Battalion also completed the extermination of over a hundred low-level cold beasts.

Pfft...

With the last frost wolf on the west side of the low-lying area being beheaded by Wang Yuan, this beast tide triggered by the bonfire also completely came to an end.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Around the low-lying area, within a radius of one mile, the air was filled with a rich bloody smell. All the soldiers were silently lowering their heads and panting. Their blood-stained faces were flickering under the firelight, and coupled with the excited smiles that occasionally appeared on the corners of their mouths when they looked at each other, they looked like Shura evil ghosts just reborn from hell.

"This time there are at least four hundred, the first time!"

"How long did it take?"

"Don't know, the Commander hasn't spoken yet."

"You kid, you were almost scared to pee your pants just now, right?"

"You were the one scared to pee your pants. I at least killed two cold beasts."

"I even shot and killed a medium-level one!"

"Hahahaha, look at this bragging, the medium-level cold beast was shot and killed by the six Horizontal Blade Battalions, and they also made the supplementary cuts later. You didn't even go down to the low-lying area."

"Give some face, you call an egg..."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Don't chat idly, report the losses of each battalion, fast!"

The previous command sound rang out again, and everyone immediately stopped chatting.

"Battalion Four, Team Three, come and gather, fast!"

"Battalion Nine, Team Two, gather, fast."

"Scout Battalion, Team Two, come and gather, fast!"

"Battalion Three, Team One, gather!"

As the captains of each team began to summon their team members to gather in one place, the originally scattered army soldiers immediately returned to their positions and reorganized.

At the same time, Xia Chuan, dressed in black, also walked over slowly from not far away. ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
