Chapter 2737: Out of Reach

On the west side of the Ice Hoof Fortress, the "Wall of Yatade," nearly 500 meters high, towered. The surface of this ice wall was not flat and was covered with a layer of frozen snow, further increasing the difficulty of climbing.

The Wolf Cavalry army stopped below the ice wall. The one-eyed old wolf in the iron cage showed doubt in its eyes. It didn't believe that the Gray Orcs could climb over this heavenly wall. The temperature near the top of the "Wall of Yatade" was too low. Even for their Dire Wolf tribe, they would feel cold when they reached there.

Su Xiao jumped down from the crown of the War Treant and pulled the sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist, holding it in his left hand.

He walked to below the "Wall of Yatade," slowly inhaled, and gripped the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan with his right hand.

With a boom, Su Xiao's blood energy spread out. Before he even drew his blade, large slashes had already appeared on the frozen soil beneath his feet.

Su Xiao's aura became increasingly sharp. He rarely built up momentum before drawing his blade because the enemies he faced would never give him such an opportunity. Now that he was facing a dead object, it gave him the chance to build up momentum.

"Blade Dao: Flow."

Zing! Zing! Zing!

Three huge wind marks cut through. After building up momentum, Su Xiao could continuously slash out three "Blade Dao: Flow" strikes.

The slashes flashed across the hundreds-of-meters-high "Wall of Yatade" and then disappeared, as if nothing had happened, and everything became quiet.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand returned to its sheath. He moved his somewhat sore right arm and turned to walk toward a War Treant. He had only taken a few steps when a crisp cracking sound came from behind him.

Three huge slashes suddenly appeared on the hundreds-of-meters-high "Wall of Yatade," and large cracks spread across the ice wall. The scene was extremely spectacular. One thought could reach the divine.

With a loud boom, broken ice splashed everywhere, and a collapsed area nearly a hundred meters wide appeared on the "Wall of Yatade." Sunlight shone in through this gap.

The one-eyed old wolf in the iron cage didn't come back to its senses for a while. The "Wall of Yatade," known as the Northern Border's heavenly wall, had been shattered by a large section right before its eyes.

"Roar!"

The Wolf Cavalry cheered and rushed out of the Northern Border along the gap in the "Wall of Yatade."

At both ends of the shattered ice wall, white freezing energy rose. The "Wall of Yatade" had healing properties. Judging from the freezing speed of the ice wall, at most six hours later, the collapsed area would be frozen again.

The reason Su Xiao didn't do this when he arrived was simple: it would completely anger the Extreme Ice Lord. By then, he wouldn't need to consider uniting with the Dire Wolf tribe, and Ice-born troops would swarm in from all directions.

The Northern Border wasn't worth wasting troops on. Although the mineral veins here were rich, it didn't mean much to Su Xiao. What he needed now was food, especially dried meat, and the Dire Wolves could also eat a lot.

The current military rations were enough to eat for about 3 days. Su Xiao had to return to Black Melt City to rest and reorganize first, and then go to clean up the Elves in the south. That side was rich enough.

Compared to the war situation, the changes in the war merit leaderboard were even more turbulent. The Gray Gentleman and the Moon Apostle didn't know what method they used, but the amount of war merit they obtained increased significantly. Judging by the momentum, if Su Xiao didn't do something again recently, he might be surpassed.

Su Xiao, who had 540,000 Wolf Cavalry, wasn't worried about this point. He was about to start frantically farming war merit. This was secondary; more importantly, he had to obtain more titles to upgrade the War Lord to a seven-star title.

Just as Su Xiao rushed out of the Northern Border, at the collapsed area of the "Wall of Yatade," Ice-born soldiers strode over. When they saw the scene in front of them, everyone looked ashen.

Half an hour later, a total of 400,000 Ice-born blocked this place. A 100,000-strong elite unit set off from Winter City, thousands of miles away, led personally by the Extreme Ice Lord. Previously, when Su Xiao broke through the "Ice Hoof Fortress," the Extreme Ice Lord didn't make such a response. From this, it could be seen how much Su Xiao's shattering of the "Wall of Yatade" with a few slashes had stimulated the Extreme Ice Lord.

These were temporarily unrelated to Su Xiao. At this time, he had already rushed through the northern part of the war zone with the speed of the Wolf Cavalry and headed straight for the Chaos Legion's territory.

When he came, 1.2 million enemy troops escorted him from behind. On the return journey, Su Xiao encountered these 1.2 million enemy troops again. This was not a coincidence, but this Alliance army was intercepting him.

Previously, this Alliance army couldn't catch up with Su Xiao's troops, and now, they were even more out of reach for the Wolf Cavalry, and could only eat dust behind.

Those with two legs indeed couldn't outrun those with four legs, not to mention the Wolf Cavalry themselves had speed-type bonus abilities, plus the War Lord's marching speed bonus, so the speed could be imagined.

A full 540,000 Wolf Cavalry, as well as 160,000 Dire Wolves, led 1.2 million enemy troops in circles on the battlefield. After chasing and chasing, this 1.2 million Alliance army didn't dare to chase anymore.

This was a wise decision. Just now, Su Xiao was prepared to let the Wolf Cavalry run in the war zone for a few hours, not too fast, just enough so the enemy troops behind couldn't catch up. When the enemy troops' stamina was consumed to a certain extent, the Wolf Cavalry legion would turn their rear into their front and launch a counter-charging charge.

Su Xiao sat up from the crown of the War Treant and looked down at the enemy troops in the distance. Since the enemy troops were no longer chasing, he would return to Black Melt City. Consuming troops here wasn't worth it; there were no supplies to take after the war.

After a rapid march, it took only three hours for Su Xiao to return to Black Melt City from the central part of the war zone.

"Eh?"

Grand Lord Hila, who was sunbathing on the city wall, saw the Wolf Cavalry legion rushing toward Black Melt City. When she first saw them, she thought it was an enemy attack...

"This... is also possible?"

Grand Lord Hila's smile was like a flower, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

The Wolf Cavalry legion entered the city in a mighty force. There were many civilians watching. They had never seen Dire Wolves from the Northern Border. The Gray Orcs riding the Dire Wolves were much more majestic, and they even had a feeling of returning in triumph.

Su Xiao walked into the Black Ring Fortress. After finding the Old Snake-Man, he asked about the forging situation of the wolf armor. These wolf armors were already being forged when he was preparing to go to the Northern Border, and the Snake-Man craftsmen were responsible for them.

What the one-eyed old wolf didn't know was that if it hadn't been willing to unite, the scene before would have really developed into capturing the Dire Wolves.

If they didn't submit, he would kill until they did. Otherwise, Su Xiao wouldn't give up. He had charged into the Northern Border at the cost of 60,000 Orc soldiers, so he had no other choice. He couldn't return empty-handed, as that would deal a huge blow to morale.

The so-called wolf armor was for the Dire Wolves to wear. This thing could protect the Dire Wolves' relatively fragile flanks and was also a kind of saddle armor, similar to a saddle.

After the Orc soldiers rode on the backs of the Dire Wolves, they had to fight. With saddle armor, they could avoid falling off the wolf's back, and their own combat power could also be somewhat restored.

That's right, riding on a wolf's back, the Orc soldiers' combat power had a certain reduction. After all, they were not originally cavalry and hadn't received corresponding training. With saddle armor, the reduction in combat power wouldn't be fatal. After familiarizing themselves for a period of time, there would be absolutely no problem, and their combat power would be completely restored.

The saddle armor was forged by Snake-Man craftsmen. The number of Snake-Man craftsmen was as many as over a million. Snake-Men didn't go to the battlefield, but this didn't mean they were relaxed.

At this time, nearly 200,000 sets of saddle armor had been forged. Today in the afternoon, plus the night, the subsequent 340,000 sets would be completed. In terms of quality, it should be no problem to use them for about half a month. If they were forged too hastily, if they wanted better saddle armor, they could only wait for subsequent forging.

When the saddle armor was forged, it would be time to launch a counterattack against the Elves. In the current situation, although there was no hope of a steady victory, there was an opportunity.

Su Xiao attacked the Elves first, not because the Elves' average charm attribute was above 90 points, but because the Elves' resources were rich. ===== CHAPTER 2738 =====
