Chapter 577: Racing Against Time (1/2)
“Hurry up! Don’t slack off!”
“You dirty things, follow!”
“......”
Rough yelling and whipping sounds came from the dark red flood-like army.
“What a peculiar army and peculiar leader......”
Moss speechlessly watched Ayrin and his army.
The demihumans riding on monsters had made long whips and whipped their monsters as well as the demihuman foot soldiers around them.
Speaking of domineering, no other race could compare to the demihumans.
However, in such an intense march, the persevering trait of the demihumans was on full display. Even the foot soldiers who were constantly whipped did not make a single complaint. They only followed the orders to avoid getting whipped.
As such, there was no need to give any further commands as the army was advancing orderly.
“Is there any use for teaching these guys combat techniques? They wouldn’t dare to rush up when facing powerful enemies even if they learned some......” Moss mumbled.
Hearing Moss mumble, Chris looked at a few demihumans chosen by Ayrin and told Moss, “Ayrin probably didn’t teach them combat techniques for them to use them on the battlefield.”
“He didn’t?” Moss was dumbfounded, “Then why?”
“The demihumans taught by Ayrin will feel to be of a higher standing than the others...... And if they become a little stronger, when they bully the other demihumans, the others won’t dare to resist.” Chris explained.
“It’s to make these demihumans better at bullying their own kind?” Moss was speechless.
“Hmph!” Belo snorted next to him.
“These demihumans aren’t so useless after all. At least we don’t need to worry about them. Also, they can eat anything wherever they go, so they can survive without any army rations. They’re just like locusts. That’s why they can reach such a marching speed.”
As Belo spoke, Shanna and the others in charge of scouting suddenly exclaimed, “What’s that?”
It was not a clear appearance of the enemy. A thick layer of clouds was rapidly approaching from the sky up ahead.
As the layer of clouds got nearer, they could see sparks flashing within the clouds as things fell down like rain.
Boom!
A humongous object fell from the cloud, making a sonic boom, and crashed into the ground several hundreds of meters in front of Ayrin’s group, splashing a wave of mud.
“What’s that?”
When everyone began to feel shocked, Ayrin had already dashed out like a comet after a shout and landed next to the crash site of the humongous object.
“Ah?” Ayrin was dumbfounded.
The object stabbing into the muddy crater before him was the upper section of a building.
The roof of the building was made with a special pale blue glass tile. The adhesion was strong and only a small segment fell off after crashing to the ground.
“Why is there a building falling out of the clouds?” Stingham opened his mouth in shock.
Mody appeared next to Ayrin and took a glance. He then spoke with certainty, “This is a building unique to the area around the Doa Royal City.”
“Doa Royal City?”
Rinloran, Ferguillo and the others looked astonished.
Boom!
At that moment, another heavy object crashed into the ground nearby.
“It’s not raining water, but raining fish?” Stingham’s bewildered shout rang out.
What crashed down was a silver scabbardfish over five meters long.
“What the hell?”
Stingham wanted to take a look. However, at that moment, a cluster of blackness broke through the clouds and crashed about ten meters in front of him.
The moment he saw the object clearly, he jumped back in fright.
It was an about six to seven meters long claw of some unknown monster. The black scales covering it reflected a cold glint. Even though the blood in its veins had already clotted, faint arcane energy fluctuations still wrapped around it.
“What kind of monster has such a big claw?” Ayrin shouted in surprise.
“What’s that!?” Charlotte and Meraly exclaimed at the same time.
An eye-catching streak of light was falling down from the dark clouds.
The streak of light released astonishing water type arcane power, as if it was a waterfall falling through the clouds.
Boom!
