Inside the room, the atmosphere was dim.
Ta Dun Frowned: “You think this is good?”
Angelina’s expression was calm: “We have already investigated a bit on their strengths. If they are not strong enough to become our allies, then our 100 treasures are our only bargaining chips.”
Ta Dun was quiet, Angelina was right. The situation was getting messier and messier, with Ursa Major Constellation and Orion Constellation people getting involved, it clearly showed that they were unable to hold on to the 100 treasures, so how they were going to use the treasures became more beneficial for Andromeda Constellation, and it was something they were required to ponder on.
Just that, Ta Dun did not like such plans, he preferred to be on the field and fighting. He looked at Angelina, her face did not have any indecisiveness nor loss anymore, and was even more calm.
She had grown up.
Ta Dun was deeply moved, but was not in the least bit happy. If it was possible, he preferred the naive and pure girl that would await for her father to bring her gifts.
But, the current Angelina was who Andromeda Constellation needed.
Around 3km away from where Tang Tian and his friends were staying, there was an old and dilapidated warehouse which belonged to a small family of traders. Currently, it was being rented by a mysterious guest.
Although there had been developments of recovery for the businesses in Fairy City, the market was much more decayed than before, and for the warehouse that had always been empty to be able to be rented out for a big sum of money, the boss was extremely happy. If the warehouse was closer to Master Tang Tian’s manor, it would definitely be able to be rented at an even better price. But the current hottest location was the area around Prince Adrian, and following that was Tang Tian’s manor.
The taverns and homes near these two places were all filled with people.
Sadly, his warehouse was too far from Tang Tian, so he was rather satisfied with the rent he had.
Entirely different from the darkness outside, the warehouse was brightly lit up inside.
If the branch master of the small commerces saw the interior of the warehouse, they would definitely be stunned. Inside the big warehouse, as though they were lined up properly, it was filled with Flaming Steps Horses and people. Every martial artist was seated beside their horses and resting, while the Flaming Steps Horses were very calm, as though they were sleeping.
No one communicated with each other, no one talked. The interior of the warehouse was extremely peaceful.
Suddenly, a sound that resembled the buzzing of bees came out. All the martial artists who were resting with their eyes closed all opened their eyes at the same time, their faces revealing an indescribable excitement and enthusiasm.
“Everyone, get ready!”
Tang Yi’s bellow sounded out in everyone’s ears like thunder.
Huala.
One united sound came out. It was the sound of all the martial artists getting up onto their horses. The troops that initially looked like a messy calvary, quickly became stern and solemn.
Tang Yi was expressionless, but his heart was secretly nodding. After the long period of bitterly training them, finally they had the air of true troops.
The warehouse opened quietly, allowing the sound of the bustling and flourishing streets outside to enter their ears. To the citizens of Fairy City who were used to the night lights, it was just the start of the night life.
“Move out!”
Tang Yi was the first to rush out of the warehouse, the cavalry behind him flowed out like water out of the warehouse.
The warehouse was not in the main road, and was in a remote side road. The galloping sounds of horses running surged like torrents through the side roads.
By the time Tang Yi rushed to the main road, the pedestrians were all shocked and stuck in their position, their face looked in shock at the army of cavalry that appeared from nowhere.
Upon leaving the small alleyway, Tang Yi’s expression was cold, kicking the Flaming Steps Horse, it neighed out loud.
The Flaming Steps Horse under Tang Yi was a rarely seen seventh level Flaming Steps Horse King, it’s entire body was as red as blood, it’s spirit was extraordinary. The horse neigh cut through the night air, bringing forth a dense battle intent.
Everyone watched in shock as streams of cavalry came out from the small alley.
In the blink of an eye, the densely packed troops appeared in front of everybody.
“Advance.”
Tang Yi’s expressionlessly moved forward, the Flaming Steps Horse King moving forward like a red fiery shadow. The cavalry behind did not have the hint of hesitation and moved onwards as well.
200 Flaming Steps Horses moved forward quietly on the main road.
The wide road that was made entirely of rocks was best suited for cavalry to charge.
The heavy and powerful hooves struck the hard and sturdy stone floors, igniting sparks and thunderous sounds. When the 200 cavalry gathered together, it was like an unstoppable magma flow. Everyone on the street trembled and froze, the pedestrian were all shocked, and all stepped aside to make way.
In the darkness, the rolling thunder hoof sounds moved rapidly like they were engaging in war, sounding out far and wide.
On the horse, Tang Yi’s face was calm like water, he was in deep admiration and respect for Master Crane’s plans. As expected of Master Crane, his intellect was second to none!
When Ta Dun sent people to send the completed treasures to the manor, Crane and Ling Xu had already anticipated the dangers that were to come, so Crane had secretly sent Tang Yi that very night to the barracks to request for support, and formulate such a plan.
To prevent people from finding out, Crane had selected a location far away from the manor. Upon entering the city, Tang Yi and his men would act as traders, where Ling Xu actually gave a few advice, as he had travelled with traders to the south for a period of time, and knew them inside out. 200 people broke up into groups, and went as different caravans.
This process went much more smoothly than they thought, especially since Fairy City was in a period of turmoil. Although Plateau Army was defending Fairy City, but the day to day defense was not strong, as the original patrol guards had all suffered serious injuries. Adding the continuous flow of martial artists pouring into the city, the stronger and more formidable martial artists with bad tempers, would randomly fight at anytime. The patrolling units who were not as strong could not fight against them, and had no choice but to act as if they did not see anything, as they did not dare to provoke trouble.
Although the warehouse was slightly far, but the distance of 3km was not far for the Flaming Steps Horses, and they arrived in a jiffy.
With Master Crane and Master Ling Xu’s strength, it was not a problem for them to hold the enemies off.
And they only had one task, and that was to give all the enemies a strike as heavy as thunder, to intimidate them.
