Chapter 1057: Marching North (Part 2)

The battle with the mountain folk was different from the battle with the Ji Army. Little Wei Yuan strictly forbade the Dharma Form cultivators of the Tai Chu Palace from leaving the protection range of the army energy, and at the same time distributed all the luck he could distribute from his body.

And that top-tier luck of Ling Canglan had already been blessed on the broken Cold Abyss Sword and handed over to Yu Zhizhuo. Yu Zhizhuo personally opened the Heavenly Craft Secret Furnace, preparing to use the broken sword and luck together to forge a new spirit treasure for Little Wei Yuan to replace Mercy.

At this moment, it would still be some time before the spirit treasure came out of the furnace, and it was still missing the last offering. According to Yu Zhizhuo, the attributes of the offering would determine the attributes of the new spirit treasure. And the offering at hand naturally had to come from the mountain folk.

The mountain folk army was divided into two by the Dao soldier pass, and one of the routes was intercepted by the fortress. Now Little Wei Yuan was facing half of the mountain folk army.

At this moment, the Qingming army vanguard had already begun to engage the mountain folk. Numerous combat vehicles slowed down, continuously bombarding the mountain folk, and the machine cannons on the vehicles were also roaring continuously.

A portion of the heavy cannons in the rear was set up again, beginning to bombard the mountain folk fiercely, while another portion of the heavy cannons continued to move forward, occupying positions for extended shooting.

Tens of thousands of Qingming vanguard heavy-armored elites held heavy shields in one hand and hand cannons in the other, slowly advancing behind the combat vehicles.

Numerous template Dao Foundation cultivators flew directly to the mountain peaks on both wings, first seizing the commanding heights. After the successful seizure, they immediately set up prefabricated fortifications on the spot. Then, in groups of four Dao Foundations, they carried the infantry cannons to the top of the mountain and set up the cannons to bombard fiercely.

Some mountain folk also rushed to some mountain peaks, and both sides began to fight on the spot, competing for the positions.

A group of Dharma Form cultivators hid in the square, metallic-textured army energy, mainly taking action to intercept the boulders and high-powered spells thrown by the mountain folk.

Opposite, many mountain ridge giants also stood on the mountain peaks. They reached out and grabbed the ground, and a giant rock would automatically appear in their hands, which they would then throw fiercely. The rocks were only of ordinary size when they first left their hands, but they would grow larger and larger during the throwing process, finally becoming a small mountain!

A giant could throw one for more than ten li with a casual toss.

Dozens of giants threw continuously, pressing the Qingming army until it was difficult to move. The Dharma Form cultivators were all taking action with all their might, trying to destroy and intercept the giant rocks thrown over. Otherwise, if they were hit by these giant rocks weighing tens or hundreds of thousands of jin, even the combat vehicles could not withstand it.

Although the cultivators of the Tai Chu Palace were already intercepting with all their might, the number of mountain ridge giants was large, and giant rocks still broke through the interception from time to time, smashing into the Qingming army formation, instantly smashing more than a hundred soldiers near the landing point into meat paste.

The Qingming troops continuously bombarded and strafed the mountain folk with combat vehicle cannons and rotary machine cannons. Both sides had deaths and injuries, but the mountain folk clearly suffered heavier casualties.

Just at this moment, countless shells suddenly fell on the foremost mountain peak, instantly falling into a sea of fire. Four mountain ridge giants were completely covered by artillery fire, and only one giant survived, but his whole body was burning. He rushed down from the mountain while howling, smashing and hitting wildly, instead smashing many mountain folk to death.

A clearly taller mountain ridge giant rushed over, slammed him to the ground, and then cut the throat of the seriously injured mountain ridge giant with an axe, ending his pain.

But before he could stand up, he was covered by dense artillery fire again. When the smoke cleared, only a charred, massive corpse could be seen.

Little Wei Yuan and the cultivators stood in the army energy, continuously guiding the heavy cannon shells fired from the rear with their spiritual sense, concentrating fire on one area after another, bombarding the mountain ridge giants one by one.

Hundreds of heavy cannons fired at the same time. This scene, let alone the mountain folk who had never seen it, even many Qingming elders had never seen it.

The mountain folk lost more than a dozen giants in a row, and the ordinary mountain folk could not break through the Qingming firepower net, falling into a stalemate for a time, with many mountain folk falling every moment.

Dozens of mountain ridge giants gathered in one place. When the heavy cannon shells fell, some giants threw rocks to explode the shells in mid-air, while others used Earth-element supernatural abilities, raising paths of rock walls and rock slabs to block the shells.

The giants gathered together, which was exactly what Little Wei Yuan wanted. He immediately ordered the heavy cannons in the rear that had moved to the predetermined positions to unfold. A moment later, hundreds more heavy cannons roared, and a total of a thousand heavy cannons bombarded the place where the giants gathered continuously. The non-stop explosions made the giants unable to lift their heads at all!

This bombardment lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the artillery fire did not weaken in the slightest, while the bombarded giants were all injured. The protective rock layer was just summoned and then shattered by the artillery fire.

Dozens of Dharma Form-level mountain ridge giants were completely suppressed by nearly a thousand heavy cannons for the first time, and the giants' magic power and physical strength were flowing away crazily.

Little Wei Yuan looked at all this calmly, silently calculating the giants' remaining physical strength, and then his momentum suddenly rose, his figure flickered, and he was already rushing toward the giants!

A mass of red rock suddenly appeared on the side, flying over silently. Although the rock was not large, the surrounding scenery showed obvious distortion.

The speed of the rock was beyond imagination, and it arrived beside Little Wei Yuan in an instant! ===== CHAPTER 1058 =====
