Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety – The Guard Camp Steps Onto the Stage
He Xiang’s heart was beating like a drum. The other elders were all pale. They had not recovered from watching the battle just now. One thousand and five hundred people had all died. Their power instantly shrank by one-fifth.
The corpses scattered across the mountains made it seem like a hellish landscape. The elders who had been scrambling for the opportunity to attack the city first were now filled with fear. If it had been them … …
Truthfully, Second Elder had performed very well. He had a great weapon in the Cloud Formation Silk, he had the bravery to lead from the front. None of the elders here could have performed better than he had, but he still died. The whole troop had died. It wasn’t that he hadn’t performed well, but the enemy was too strong.
What kind of formation battle watchtower was that? The hard lightning it released seemed endless like a tide. If it wasn’t that they had seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe that there were such powerful formation battle watchtowers in this world. Even if there were, how could they appear in this minuscule Little Mountain Jie?
If this came out, how could everyone live?
And that Skyring Moon Chime Formation, could that still even be called the Skyring Moon Chime Formation? Bro, you weren’t the only one that played around with a Skyring Moon Chime Formation before, are you sure that what you have is still a Skyring Moon Chime Formation?
The elders looked at Golden Crow City with sorrowful rage.
Bro, be nice, you are so strong, don’t come running to Little Mountain Jie to steal food from us little people!
Why … …
Even He Xiang didn’t know what to do next. Continue to fight? He looked at the elders around him. Every one of them was dispirited and had lost their courage. Even if there was an elder that had the courage to attack, the people under them wouldn’t be willing. He could clearly feel the morale of his troops had reached bottom.
But with everyone watching them, he felt he couldn’t retreat like this and lose face.
Just as He Xiang was struggling with his dilemma, Golden Crow City acted again.
Many people suddenly appeared on top of the walls of Golden Crow City and jumped down from the walls.
He Xiang’s eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the people continuously jumping down from Golden Crow City’s walls.
Was it … … were they going to attack?
For an unknown reason, he suddenly shook. He turned to look at the other elders and stilled again. The elders that had surrounded him had all disappeared. Only when he turned his face around did he see that they had retreated three zhang away from him.
Terror was on everyone’s faces.
The movement of Golden Crow City had attracted everyone’s attention. The xiuzhe that were watching from afar moved their eyes towards this group of people that flooded out of Golden Crow City
This group of people were all wearing black heavy armor, but their movements were light and agile. After watching for a while, everyone had puzzled expressions. Almost no one used heavy armor among the various types of ling armor because the majority of xiuzhe battles were in the air. The heavy ling armor would greatly affect their speed. The popular ling armors were mostly light and carved with formations to be activated during battle. Usually, the defensive abilities of the ling armor were not reliant on the ling armor itself, but depended on the strength of the ling shield activated from the ling armor.
It was possible to see that the black ling armor on these people was very heavy.
Only body cultivating xiuzhe could support such heavy ling armor. Looking at the nimble movements of these people, they did seem like body cultivating xiuzhe.
There was a continuous stream of armor-wearing xiuzhe jumping off the city walls. Their movements were extremely quick, and well-trained, flowing like water. A group of xiuzhe quickly gathered outside the city, and when the number of xiuzhe reached one thousand people, the spectators all inhaled sharply.
He Xiang and the others had ashen faces!
Who said that Golden Crow City didn’t have many people?
It was very hard to calculate how many people were needed to man the thirty six formation battle watchtowers, but it definitely wasn’t less than one thousand people. Now, one thousand body cultivating xiuzhe had come out. How many people were really hiding inside Golden Crow City?
He Xiang didn’t even have the energy to swear. The other elders could only stare at each other.
———
One thousand heavy-armor xiuzhe quickly gathered, their movements clean and without any fuss. In a short span, they finished organizing their formation.
One thousand armor-wearing xiuzhe stood solemnly without a sound. All noise had disappeared.
The wind blew past and stirred the dust and dried leaves to swirl in the air. The killing intent was as cold as a knife. The one thousand people were like a heavy rock pressing on everyone’s chest, making them unconsciously feel that breathing was slightly difficult.
Shu Long had a small headache.
First, they could not resist Boss’ mission. Boss had told them to collect the spoils. If he went on a different path, Boss definitely would not be happy. Even he wasn’t willing to do so.
However, the words of the daren inside the necklace could not be dismissed. That was his direct teacher. If that person was offended, his days would become very dark.
His mind suddenly moved and had an idea.
———
The people that were paying attention to the black armor troop were of two different opinions.
One side chided the master of Golden Crow City for being so dim to create such a trashy troop. No matter if it was sword xiu, or Dhyana xiu, they emphasized the ability to fly. The mainstream battlefield was the sky. If this group of people flew up into the air, they would be like turtles, only able to wait for death.
The other side was very curious. Up until now, every move of the master of Golden Crow City made people feel amazed. How could such a person make such a shallow and low-level mistake? There had to be a deeper meaning.
The middle-aged person and the large male held the second opinion.
“It’s very hard to say with precedent,” The eyes of the middle-aged person flashed as he said gravely. “Only people that can break convention are true heroes.”
The large male stared at the black-armor troop outside the Golden Crow City. Other people might feel that this troop was hilarious, but he had seen true elite forces before. This troop couldn’t be called elite, but it seemed to have a presence that others could not dismiss.
Other people might not concern themselves with this, but the large male knew it wasn’t so easy to form such a presence.
