Chapter 2401

Ango City, West of the City.

150,000 soldiers were stationed here to prevent the Wood Kin from attacking. According to the scout message from more than ten kilometers away, the Wood Kin had already marched toward this side, with a number of more than 200,000.

Ango City is not suitable for defending, but fortunately, there are enough soldiers in the city. At this time, a defense line has been formed around Ango City.

150,000 soldiers in the west of the city sounds like just a number, but after Su Xiao arrived in the west of the city, he witnessed with his own eyes what the concept of 150,000 soldiers is.

If these soldiers stood in dense phalanxes, 10,000 people would be enough to fill a football stadium. After 150,000 people spread out the battle line, they almost completely blocked the west side of Ango City.

Tents built of thick cloth and wooden sticks were everywhere. As long as they could eat their fill, the soldiers didn't have high requirements for living conditions. With their physical fitness, living in simple tents wouldn't make them feel cold.

"Warriors, just two days ago, those monsters occupied our homeland..."

An officer's shouting came. This was a pre-battle mobilization to prevent the soldiers from collapsing after the number of casualties reached a certain degree.

The Wood Kin are expected to arrive in half an hour. The friendly soldiers have completed assembly, and the battlefield is set on a plain 2 kilometers away. The terrain there is open, and it couldn't be more suitable as an initial battle location.

The snow in early spring had not melted for long, and the space between the tents was muddy. Plus, it is early morning now, the temperature is low, and these muds are frozen hard and have been trampled flat.

Su Xiao walked between one tent after another. In front were the soldiers who had already lined up. Looking from the high slope, he couldn't see the end of the line at all. These were all soldiers of the Leiman Kingdom, and their combat literacy was quite good.

Seeming to indicate that a great battle was imminent, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a strong wind swept over.

"Warriors, today is the moment for us to take revenge. Kill all those scumbags!"

"Kill, kill!"

The mountain-shaking roar spread, and the 150,000 soldiers were divided into nine phalanxes and started to march forward.

At the same time, ten kilometers away.

Rumble...

The earth shook, and a gray-black tide surged from the distance. One Wood Kin after another ran wildly on the plain. The dry grass was trampled into the mud, and the hundred-plus tree giants among them were particularly eye-catching. Their height was more than 10 meters, their whole bodies were dry tree bark, and they wore rusty metal hoods on their heads to block their vision. Everywhere they stepped, they left huge footprints.

The momentum of the Wood Kin's charge was unstoppable, but there was no formation, just rushing forward in a swarm.

The soldiers of Ango City were also marching rapidly. Cold weapon warfare was not unfamiliar to them. The birth of extraordinary steam technology was only a few decades ago, and the development of steam weapons was only a few years ago. It was still the unique technology of the Leiman Kingdom. Most of them only initially adapted to steam weapons, and cold weapons were used more handily. After all, this thing wouldn't break down, nor would it explode suddenly.

"Enemy discovered 2 kilometers away, the whole army accelerates, advance 1 kilometer, then deploy the charge formation."

The soldiers changed from fast marching to jogging. Before long, the Wood Kin army appeared in front.

"Soldiers, charge with me!!"

At the very front of the formation, an officer holding a broadsword roared. Adrenaline stimulated bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Kill, for the family members who died!"

The soldiers charged with red eyes. One soldier after another wearing armor and holding various cold weapons rushed past Su Xiao. He drew the long blade from his waist. Now he only needs to do one thing: kill all the Wood Kin in front of him. War is just that simple and pure.

The soldiers and the Wood Kin opposite charged. The earth started to shake. Looking down from a high place, a gray-black tide and a metal tide approached rapidly. 500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters, 30 meters, 5 meters.

Bang, bang, bang...

Dense collision sounds and screams were endless. Broken shields splashed everywhere. A soldier whose straight sword was hit and broken, and whose armor was dented, was wailing on the ground. Half of his skull was deformed by the impact.

A Wood Kin whose half body was slashed off crawled to the soldier, and its sharp claws pierced into the soldier's skull. At the same time, a broken sword also pierced into the Wood Kin's neck.

Blood stained the ground. A huge foot stepped over, and with a squelch, both corpses were trampled into the mud.

Behind is Ango City. Once the front-line troops cannot hold on, the Wood Kin will use this as a breakthrough point and go straight to Ango City. Even if they cannot directly attack Ango City, they can set up a defense line here and advance toward Ango City step by step.

Roaring, screaming, and the slashing sounds of cold weapons mixed together, reaching Su Xiao's ears. Since entering this world, he basically hadn't fought much. Now it was time.

A Wood Kin covered in soldiers' blood rushed toward Su Xiao from the front. The speed was not fast, but his body looked very tough.

Clang.

A blue light flashed. The rushing Wood Kin stopped after rushing forward a few steps. Before the body could fall, the head had already landed.

If hitting a vital point, one blade can kill the enemy. Checking Zhan Long Shan is sharp enough. If hitting the waist, one blade cannot kill the enemy.

Determining this point, Su Xiao rushed forward rapidly. The sound of wind whistled beside his ears. Everywhere he looked, it was full of Wood Kin and soldiers fighting together.

The long blade slashed obliquely, and a Wood Kin was slashed into two by Su Xiao from the chest. A slight resistance was transmitted from the hilt to his hand. The Wood Kin's body was tougher than imagined.

Su Xiao slashed two Wood Kin in succession, which immediately attracted the attention of other Wood Kin around. They growled at each other, which counted as a greeting, and then all rushed toward Su Xiao.

Clang, clang, clang!

Three huge blade lights were slashed out by Su Xiao in a staggered manner, until they disappeared into the large group of Wood Kin in front.

Blue patterns surged on Checking Zhan Long Shan, and Blade Shadow Burn was activated. The physical strength consumed by the whole body shadow burn was too terrifying. Su Xiao always had a feeling that shadow burn was just the initial form of Green Shadow King. This form is strong, no doubt, but it also has many shortcomings. The physical strength consumed is too exaggerated.

More importantly, Su Xiao tried many methods, but was always unable to improve the level of Green Shadow King. That feeling was like, once Green Shadow King is improved, his body will be unable to bear it.

These problems, Su Xiao had no time to consider temporarily. I don't know since when, he was surrounded by Wood Kin. He was used to killing Earth-Walking Species in the last world, and forgot that there were friendly soldiers nearby this time.

"Blade Dao Blade - Super - Ring Break."

The long blade hummed, and a light blue ring-shaped blade light spread. In an instant, a large area of Wood Kin fell around Su Xiao, and the Wood Kin rushing toward him choked.

Blood splashed on the ground, and the smell of blood was pungent. Consistent with Su Xiao's conjecture, the Wood Kin are living things.

Looking around, Su Xiao didn't see a single treasure chest. The drop rate of treasure chests was somewhat touching.

"Baha, how much time has passed."

"15 hours and 29 minutes, Miss Benny is a bit slow on that side."

Baha swooped down, tore open the back of a Wood Kin's neck with its sharp claws, and flew back into the high sky.

Su Xiao started calculating the time. Since the plan started, 15 hours had passed. With Benny's marching speed, it should be about there.

Su Xiao never forgot Gelu's existence. He believed that Gelu would definitely have eyes and ears in Ango City, monitoring in the dark.

Finding that eye and ear is too difficult, so he had to act for Gelu to see. In the recent period of time, Su Xiao showed a 'busy running around' appearance, just to paralyze Gelu.

Su Xiao's true purpose is to find Gelu's location as soon as possible and get rid of the other party. Only in this way can he ensure that Ango City is not destroyed.

When the four kingdoms fell, I don't know how many civilians turned into Wood Kin. Even if the number of Wood Kin decreased after devouring each other, the number was absolutely higher than the soldiers in Ango City.

Su Xiao is only one person. Even if he kills without stopping, the number of Wood Kin he can kill is limited. Slaughtering Gelu is the only way to win.

Ask, when will Gelu be most relaxed? The answer is when the Wood Kin army attacks Ango City. This represents that Ango City no longer threatens him, and he needs to focus on dealing with the Wood Kin. If Su Xiao also personally goes to the front line and fights with the Wood Kin, Gelu will be surprised, and also more at ease.

This is the result Su Xiao wants to see. A head-on war with Gelu? Winning against Gelu on the front battlefield? It's simply impossible. The Wood Kin are very loyal to Gelu. With such troops, the possibility of Gelu losing is too small. Conversely, Ango City, with a total of three decision-makers, will have disputes about the placement of the elderly, women, and children.

Su Xiao's plan is to let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang merge into the environment and investigate in Ango City. No matter what, he must find the traces Gelu left in Ango City.

After that, it's Benny's turn to appear. When he first entered this world, Benny was far away from Su Xiao. When it came to meet Su Xiao and prepared to go treasure hunting alone, Su Xiao gave it a task: through the traces, scents, etc., found by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, track Gelu. Gelu is highly likely in the Dongze Kingdom, and low probability in a village near the border.

As long as Benny finds Gelu, Su Xiao can appear directly in front of Gelu and solve this heart-worrying problem.

Blade lights crisscrossed, and Su Xiao slashed and shattered the Wood Kin rushing toward him one after another. Light red blood splashed on him. Judging from the feel of the slash, the Wood Kin are more difficult to deal with than Earth-Walking Species.

With a boom, a spatial crack appeared behind Su Xiao. It was Benny who found Gelu's location and used the 【Shelter Gem】 to open a spatial crack.
