Chapter 1600: Self-Detonation

Yinglong was also stunned for a moment after hearing Shaoyin say this; it made so much sense, and it seemed that only by doing this could they maximize their effectiveness.

Yinglong was not stupid; after a simple thought, he understood what he should do. Going ashore to provide support now might not necessarily provide decisive help, but if they were to attack the Xingtian Tribe camp directly, it would surely achieve miraculous results.

So he immediately nodded to Shaoyin: "Shaoyin, you are right. I will listen to you; you take command!"

Seeing that Yinglong no longer insisted, Shaoyin knew that the biggest source of instability for the moment had vanished, so he ordered the others: "Don't stop! Keep rowing! Row faster, strive to reach the Xingtian Tribe camp at the fastest speed to lighten the burden on the main force!"

Because their raft formation was stretched very long, they had dispatched over seven hundred people in total to be truly effective, which was a considerable force; however, with the battle line stretched out, many people could no longer hear the words of Shaoyin and Yinglong.

Moreover, the Xuanyuan Tribe soldiers made up the majority here; hearing the commotion on the shore, their hearts were already restless, and some even had the urge to jump into the water and swim ashore to provide support, but now they heard the order to continue moving forward.

Although they could execute it, they did so with little energy, their eyes and minds fixed on the shore.

At night, visibility was poor, and they were on the water, making it difficult for them to perceive their own speed because they could not see any reference points; they could only hear the sounds of explosions and battle cries coming from behind, and only then did they know they were moving forward rather than retreating.

Yinglong was anxious, walking back and forth on the swaying raft, constantly urging his own soldiers to exert more effort, to row harder, and to reach the Xingtian Tribe camp as quickly as possible. Yinglong's words were somewhat more effective than Shaoyin's because the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe recognized their own Leader more.

After Xuanyuan and his men made contact with the Xingtian Tribe, the first thing they did was a dense bombardment of Bombs, but unfortunately, visibility was poor, making it impossible to determine exactly how many hit or to judge how many people the Xingtian Tribe had.

After two rounds of Bombs ended, they continued to move forward, while the Xingtian Tribe, who had chosen to retreat to avoid the Bombs, immediately led his men back to the battlefield upon hearing the sound of the Bombs cease; he also had not expected to run into the enemy here.

Borrowing the light from the trees and Grass ignited by the Bombs on the ground, the two sides finally locked eyes. Xuanyuan immediately ordered the Huaxia soldiers to throw another wave of Bombs, while the archers spread out and the Huaxia Shield Soldiers and Spear soldiers moved forward to prepare to act as the vanguard; he himself also wore Crocodile Skin armor and stood at the very front.

The Huaxia soldiers were well-trained; once an order was given, they did not hesitate and reacted quickly. At this distance, the Xingtian Tribe had no chance to retreat, and they were still charging, so the Bombs caused the greatest and heaviest damage.

Subsequently, the archers on the flanks quickly fired a few Arrows, then slung their bows and drew their Changdao to begin the charge. Xuanyuan pointed his Long Sword forward, and the Huaxia soldiers rushed out, with the Xuanyuan Tribe soldiers behind them, relying on the Huaxia shields and armor, following closely.

In an instant, the two sides began a chaotic melee, becoming completely inseparable; there was no time to consider how many enemies there were or how great the gap in strength was between the two sides, and Xuanyuan was also struggling in the battle, with no room to command.

Fortunately, several soldiers were constantly guarding around Xuanyuan, ensuring that no one could ambush him while he was fighting; coupled with Xuanyuan's own strong combat prowess, he displayed an invincible momentum.

Xingtian was still charging and crashing about; with no Huaxia soldiers to hold him back, he was practically hacking the Xuanyuan Tribe soldiers like vegetables. One person was already completely soaked in blood, and he became more intense the more he killed, as if he would never tire.

Limu moved closer to Xuanyuan while fighting; he also wanted to protect Xuanyuan because he had already observed Xingtian, but several Huaxia soldiers were gradually beginning to surround him, which could at least hold him back somewhat.

"Tribal Chief! Have Shaoyin and Yinglong arrived? Did they not come to provide support?"

Xuanyuan was startled by Limu's words, and he instantly snapped out of the trance-like state of combat. His hand holding the Sword faltered, but fortunately, Limu's large foot followed, kicking Xuanyuan's opponent away and giving Xuanyuan a bit of safe space.

"Shaoyin? Yinglong? I haven't seen them. Their mission is to attack the Xingtian Tribe camp; they don't need to come to provide support!"

Limu was still a bit worried: "If they don't come to support, can we hold on? Should we call for Baifeng's support? We can still spare some people!"

Xuanyuan searched for his next target while speaking: "No need. Let's wait for Shaoyin and the others. As long as they can attack Xingtian's camp, then Xingtian will definitely have to go back; otherwise, his camp will be completely gone."

"Alright! Tribal Chief, I will assist you!"

Xuanyuan saw Xingtian, who was "ganging up" on several Huaxia soldiers, and also felt immense pressure because Xingtian was truly a bit invincible. He felt that only if he were riding that elephant could he possibly fight Xingtian.

At this moment, he also discovered that the clouds in the Heaven had unexpectedly cleared at some point, the light had long since become clear, and the fire on the grass and trees ignited by the Bombs was also about to go out.

It was still impossible to see how great the gap in strength was between the two sides because they were still in a chaotic melee. Xingtian seemed to have brought out all his soldiers. Xuanyuan felt it was time to ask for Baifeng's support, but their contingency plan did not mention how to get Baifeng to come and support. Blowing a whistle was useless now; the distance was too far, and it was too noisy here to hear it at all.

He could only see if Baifeng would take the initiative to send troops to support; now, even if they sent someone back to fetch reinforcements, it would be too late.

"Boom!"

Just a short distance from Xuanyuan, an explosion sounded, startling everyone. They had no idea what the situation was. This loud noise made everyone freeze for a second, then they immediately resumed fighting each other, not daring to be distracted any further.

The one who threw the Bomb was a wounded Huaxia soldier lying on the ground, feeling that he had no chance of survival, yet the Xingtian Tribe soldiers had not noticed him lying there.

And even more coincidentally, where he lay, next to him was the corpse of another Huaxia soldier, and there was an Explosive Pack at his waist. So he steeled his heart, felt for the Explosive Pack, placed the Fuse on the sparks of a wooden stick nearby that was about to go out, blew hard to ignite it, then stood up shakily, saying: "Run, it's going to explode!"

The Huaxia soldiers heard this and glanced at the sparking Fuse, then scrambled to flee, while the severely wounded Huaxia soldier ran toward the position with the most enemies, but unfortunately, he tripped after running only a few steps, and the Bomb slipped from his hand.

Seeing the Bomb, both the Huaxia and Xingtian Tribe soldiers scattered. The Bomb exploded; the Huaxia soldier who lit the Bomb had half his body blown away, and it also caused a certain amount of damage to the Xingtian Tribe soldiers, though unfortunately, it did not reach his expectations, but it was not a death in vain.
