Chapter 417: War Between Two Tribes

In a giant Shaman tribe city several thousand li away, a Shaman tribe member with pale skin was lying diagonally on a couch, staring blankly at the dome.

A Shaman practitioner walked over hurriedly and said, "Lord Lord Shuangyu, the news just came; the human race launched a surprise attack, and now Gong Gong Yufeng City has been captured."

The pale-skinned Shaman took a long time to move his head and said, "When did this happen?"

"Two days ago."

The Shaman on the couch waited for another moment before saying slowly, "Who has gone over there now?"

"Lord Feilu and Lord Huang have already led their troops to rush over."

"Oh, Feilu is quite good, so don't disturb me anymore."

"Lord Grandmaster Hongye's meaning is that you need to go over and sit in town."

Lord Shuangyu raised his upper body slightly and asked, "How many troops did the human race bring?"

"According to the report from the soldiers who fled from the front line, there are their people everywhere; there might be one hundred thousand."

The pale Shaman had already closed his eyes: "Only one hundred thousand, and not five hundred thousand. Feilu herself has one hundred thousand troops; she is not a waste."

The Shaman practitioner below still wanted to speak, but was instantly sent out of the hall.

On the front line, teams of Shaman tribe armies were coming from all directions, rushing toward the Gong Gong Yufeng City that had just fallen. On the top of a small mountain, several Great Shamans stood there, watching the teams of Shaman tribe soldiers passing by below.

A Great Shaman in the middle wore a wooden mask with two short horns on his head and said, "Our speed is too slow!"

A Great Shaman beside him said, "We will arrive at Gong Gong Yufeng City tomorrow, and other tribes will only be slower than us. The human race might have a decisive battle with us there. But I really didn't expect that Gong Gong Yufeng City would be captured by the human race in less than a day!"

The Great Shaman in the middle said, "Lord Lord Shuangyu probably won't come now; you all be careful. It is said that quite a few human powerhouses have come this time. After arriving at Gong Gong Yufeng City tomorrow, build the altar first."

A crowd of Great Shamans were somewhat unimpressed. Building an altar was extremely costly and would take at least three days, but with a mere few tens of thousands of humans, why be so cautious?

Another Shaman tribe army on the road was marching. They didn't notice a small figure standing on a distant mountain peak, observing the camp.

And at this time, Wei Yuan's figure was indistinct, flying at high speed, scanning the surrounding terrain. Soon he discovered a marching Shaman tribe troop, so after observing silently for a moment, the data of this Shaman army was marked in the image.

Half a day later, Wei Yuan returned to the Shaman city, and both the cat and the flying marten returned. The two spiritual beasts told Wei Yuan the number and march route of the Shaman army they had seen.

It was now the third day since Wei Yuan captured the Shaman city. On the battlefield map, within a range of five hundred li around the Shaman city, six Shaman armies had already appeared, totaling nearly three hundred thousand.

The Shaman tribe's reaction was quite fast, and the troops dispatched were all elites. Being able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of reinforcements in less than three days made Wei Yuan re-evaluate the strength of the Rain Kingdom.

However, looking at the Shaman armies coming from several different directions, Wei Yuan made a prompt decision, leaving only a few people to guard the Shaman city, while the main force set out in full strength.

Three days later, the great battle broke out. Wei Yuan personally led ten thousand iron cavalry to first launch a surprise attack on the three thousand Shaman tribe infantry. At this time, the cavalry was fully replenished with ammunition and used extremely fierce firepower to crush the opponent in a short time. And Wei Yuan fought two with one, injuring the two Great Shamans of this route.

This battle started first, so the Shaman armies on the left and middle routes both began to move toward the battlefield.

But the forty thousand Shaman army on the left route immediately collided with Wei Yuan's twenty thousand cavalry and infantry, and after the exchange, they also suffered heavy casualties under the fierce firepower. And not long after this battle started, Wei Yuan, who had already crushed the opponent, led the cavalry to arrive, flanking from both sides, and ate this Shaman army as well.

The fifty thousand Shaman army in the middle route had ten thousand lizard knights, who separated from the main force and acted independently to give support to other troops as quickly as possible.

But the distance between the middle route Shaman army and the left route was a bit far, and by the time the lizard knights finally arrived at the battlefield, Wei Yuan had already crushed the side route Shaman army and was surrounding and slaughtering the remnants.

Seeing the enemy cavalry killing their way over, Wei Yuan personally led three thousand iron cavalry to intercept, fighting back and forth with the ten thousand lizard knights, while the rest of the troops went all out to eat the Shaman army's remnants.

The lizard knights saw that the situation was not good and wanted to flee, but were bitten to death by the Qingming cavalry. The seven thousand cavalry who were freed directly flanked from the rear and ate all the lizard knights.

Wei Yuan divided the cavalry and infantry again, advancing left and right, and after personally scouting the movements of the middle route Shaman army, he led the army to assault, using infantry to meet the enemy head-on and cavalry to flank from the rear, crushing the middle route Shaman army again under four-sided firepower.

When Feilu led the main force of one hundred thousand to arrive outside Gong Gong Yufeng City and began to build the altar, she received the news that all three of her side's troops had been crushed.

Feilu's eyes were spitting fire, and she immediately sent troops to scout the city, only to discover that the city was already empty. The small units that had pretended to defend the city had also taken the opportunity to escape. The altar she had built for most of the day was completely in vain.

At this time, the main force of the Shaman army was still there, and Feilu's one hundred thousand and Huang's eighty thousand were both unharmed. They immediately combined their forces and sent out a large number of scouts to search for Wei Yuan's location. But apart from the battlefields of the three great battles, no traces of the army's movements could be seen anymore. All the traces left behind indicated that the human race's troops had already dispersed into multiple small units. The crowd of Great Shamans also learned from the gathered remnants that the human race had only thirty thousand people in total this time.

When this intelligence was sent back, the two Great Shamans, Feilu and Huang, both felt a headache.

This meant that the original plan to launch a surprise attack on the Qingming boundary and force the human race to withdraw their troops was no longer feasible. There were at least over one hundred thousand troops in Qingming, and this little bit of Shaman tribe military strength couldn't capture it at all.

After pondering for a long time, Feilu said: "The human race has been in our Shaman domain for a long time and will have to go back to replenish their military Qi sooner or later. Since they have dispersed into small teams, we will also divide our troops to search and pursue, but don't stay too far away from each other, and keep in touch at all times. In addition, after the initial defeat, we still have to mobilize more troops from the rear. And we must notify Lord Lord Shuangyu; he probably still has to come once."

For the next few days, both sides divided into multiple small units and began to hunt each other.

It was just that the human race's movements were extremely erratic, all cavalry or cavalry-infantry, and once they discovered that the Shaman army was powerful, they would immediately retreat, but from time to time, several small human race units would suddenly appear around the Shaman army that was falling behind, and after gathering, they would become a large army of over ten thousand, annihilating the enemy and then dispersing and disappearing again.

In the battlefield image of the Ten Thousand Li of Mountains and Rivers, multiple units were moving simultaneously every moment. Every Shaman tribe unit that appeared had someone analyzing their possible direction.

Wei Yuan's troops were actually not evenly distributed, but some had more and some had less, some moved fast and some moved slow.

At this moment, all the people with military talent were working at full capacity. Some people who were originally responsible for other tasks also joined in. At first, they were a bit conventional, mainly focusing on waiting for opportunities to concentrate their forces to strike the enemy's small-scale units.

But after a few days of fighting, the plans given became more and more active and proactive, and even erratic and unpredictable.

!.

They would use small-scale rapid units to lure and mobilize the enemy, letting the Shaman tribe units that were originally marching side-by-side disperse, suddenly exposing the unit in the middle, and then until it was surrounded and eaten. Until it was annihilated, that unit still hadn't figured out where the friendly forces on the left and right had suddenly gone.

After fighting a few battles like this, the mortals became even bolder.

They would deliberately attack the Shaman tribe units with a powerful unit, and when several nearby Shaman tribe units all came over, they would counter-surround them with even more abundant military strength, and finally eat a big one in one bite.

After that, there was another erratic operation; after complex movements and battles between the two sides, several of Wei Yuan's units happened to form a encirclement, and several Shaman tribe units happened to drill into this encirclement, and everything became logical.

A few days later, many Qingming units had run out of ammunition, and at this time, several supply caravans had set out from Qingming a few days ago, bypassed the Shaman tribe's interception units, and reached the edge of the battlefield. Then, at this time, one or several Qingming units would happen to move over, complete the replenishment, and return to the battle.

Just like that, the thirty thousand Qingming troops constantly circled with the Shaman tribe's main army ten times their size, playing hide-and-seek on the vast battlefield of a thousand li. During this period, the Great Shamans once wanted to track the Qingming units with their own strength, but after two Great Shamans were ambushed and killed by Wei Yuan, who was also elusive, no Great Shaman dared to act alone, and even two Great Shamans traveling together didn't dare to leave the protection of the military Qi.

On the ninth day of the entanglement, in front of Wei Yuan, a Shaman tribe member with pale skin and a height of twelve zhang descended from the sky and blocked his way.

As soon as he saw Wei Yuan, blood-colored flames ignited in his eyes, and he said slowly: "You are still very young; it is a pity to die like this."

Wei Yuan said: "I heard that Grandmaster Hongye is very respected in the Shaman tribe; now it seems, it is truly incredible."

Flames instantly rose in Lord Shuangyu's eyes, and he said coldly: "Slandering Grandmaster Hongye will only make you die more painfully!"

Wei Yuan said: "As a Ghost Shaman, you are moving your hands against me; are you embarrassed?"

"This is a war between two tribes."

Wei Yuan didn't say anything more, stared at Lord Shuangyu, and his momentum gradually rose.

Lord Shuangyu sneered and said: "Let your two companions come out too; no need to hide, you can all come together."

Both the cat and the flying marten no longer hid their auras, accumulating their power to the peak, so that they could exert their maximum combat power.

Lord Shuangyu slowly moved his neck; his movements were stiff, like a zombie, and his joints made a clicking sound as he slowly raised his hand.

The flying marten suddenly had all the fur on its tail and back explode, shooting out like electricity, pouncing with all its might! The cat was only a moment slower, grabbing at Lord Shuangyu's back neck with one claw.

Lord Shuangyu suddenly flashed forward, leaving only an ice-sculpted self in place, which was instantly grabbed and exploded by the flying marten and the cat.

But his aura only dropped a little, and he grabbed at Wei Yuan with one hand. In front of his fingertips appeared a river of frost, which instantly extended a thousand zhang, enveloping Wei Yuan entirely within it!

The "Instantaneous" world in the Ten Thousand Li of Mountains and Rivers instantly turned into an icy world, and vitality plummeted by more than half; all the immortal plants released their unique brilliance, protecting a small piece of land around them.

The earth was instantly covered by thick snow, and many mortals' houses were even submerged by the snow. Many mortals had hidden under various immortal plants in advance, finally receiving protection, and only those who didn't squeeze into the circle at the outermost periphery turned into ice sculptures, and then turned into ice powder.

There were also dozens of people who ignored Wei Yuan's previous orders and rushed to Wei Yuan's immortal statue to seek shelter, only to all turn into dust, including Wei Yuan's immortal statue.
