475 Beast Swarm (2/2)
As they had the ability to create living things, no one could predict what kind of ferocious beasts they could create in their prosperous land.
With just these, it was already enough for the soldiers of the Jade Capital to tremble in fear.
”Shoot!”
On top of the city walls, a general's command could be heard loud and clear. Evidently, he was a Wu Zong at the highest level of the Meridian Opening Realm, he might even be a True Divine!
At this stage, Da Qian Imperial Court could no longer hide their strength. All their Wu Zong's and spiritual knights appeared one by one.
”Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!”
On top of the city walls, numerous weird looking arcuballistas were used to fire arrows. They had a strange design and each of its core was a black coloured rectangular box. Every time it was launched, countless fire arrows flew out from the topmost layer of the box.
In the blink of an eye, millions of arrows landed on the swarm of monkeys.
”Kababoom!”
Tens of thousands of arrows were shot at the same time and formed a fire net. After each arrowhead struck its target, it immediately exploded which resulted in additional damage.
Sparks and flames covered the skies. It was as though it was a hurricane of arrows and thousands of Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys were turned into ashes.
”Change the arrows!”
After the command from the top of the city walls, the machinery noise of the arcuballistas could be heard. The black coloured box was dismounted and another giant box was loaded up. It was then ignited and launched in an instant.
It's launching speed was astonishing fast and so was its arrow consumption. Soon enough, three giant boxes had been used up.
Its effect and results were astoundingly good too. After a few rounds, the 100,000 strong monkey swarm was close to being completely annihilated. Broken limbs and remains were scattered all over the battlefield. There was also a nauseating and repulsive stench from the blood and burnt flesh mixing together.
Seeing such a scene, the allied soldiers quivered in fear. Even Shi Longtu was drenched in cold sweat as he knew that if his troop was faced with such a deadly weapon, they would turn into ashes in just a day!
”Eh?”
However, Fang Yuan saw something different from it, ”Shouldn't such powerful weapons be used at the very last as the killing move? The best way to handle a powerful dream beast master would be with another powerful dream beast master... Looks like, the Imperial Court does not have such an expert!”
”That's natural... The Imperial Court's dream masters are within the Hidden Dragon Guards!”
As Elder Smelter mentioned that, he was rather infuriated, ”But how many dream masters could they have? They would at most have the same number of dream master as our alliance, of course they would not have enough manpower.”
On top of the city walls.
The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards calmly looked at the scene in front of him and ordered, ”Since they are already used, there's no need to hide them anymore. Anyway, this Exploding Flames Divine Fire Arrow is only useful against lower tiered cultivators. The allied forces would also find a way to suppress it by tomorrow! Just use up all the remaining stock.”
”Yes, Head!”
On top of the four-sided city walls, the arcuballistas shot towards the skies. Large amounts of Nail Feather Vulture shrieked in pain as they exploded and landed on the ground. Feathers and blood covered the ground as though a black and red coloured storm had just past.
In the blink of an eye, the tables have turned.
Two out of the three swarms of beasts had already been obliterated by the Imperial Court's powerful weapon which they had stored for years.
”The Imperial Court still indeed has its strength!”
Seeing such, Fang Yuan and Elder Smelter did not say anything. Elder Thick Earth's face turned red as he summoned another beast swarm.
”Chi! Chi!”
”Chi! Chi!”
This time around, the beast swarm which appeared was still made up of monkeys. However, there were only 10,000 of them this time. Each of them was strong and capable looking, their fur was of a shiny silver colour and each of them had a pair of wings. Fang Yuan could not think of their name at all.
”This seems like a mutated form of Iron-armed Spiritual Monkeys. Rumour has it that their monkey king has pure golden fur. Silver fur and with wings... what kind of monkeys are they?”
As Fang Yuan muttered, he purposely made sure Elder Thick Earth could hear him.
”Truth be told…..”
Elder Thick Earth looked slightly excited as he explained, ”This is a brand new species I created after spending years on it. I expedited the growth of a group of iron-armed monkeys until they are silver coloured and are at the elite level before I combined them with the wings of the East Sea Feathered Tribe. Initially, while I was creating them, I failed thousands of times! I'm naming them as Winged Monkeys. They have wings on their backs and can fly, hehe...”
Elder Thick Earth was filled with excitement which made Fang Yuan thought of the crazy scientists in the previous realms.
7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters could create beasts but they could not just create whatever they wanted. Instead, it was like an experiment. If it was too out of the norm, it would lead to the collapse of the genes and the resultant creature would not be able to successfully reproduce!
This was just like how Elder Thick Earth had to obtain his resources from Da Qian World and how he had to try his best to adhere to conventions in order to create this new species of monkey. Even so, he only succeeded after he failed so many times.
”Rumble! Rumble!”
The ground shook stronger and stronger. Numerous Winged Monkeys roared as they flapped their wings and flew to the sky.
”This is... the Steel-toothed Giant Ants?”
Fang Yuan looked at the slowly sinking foundation and immediately knew what was going on, ”Because the city walls are protected by arrays and cannot be broken through, we are thus going downwards and preparing to sink its foundation?”
...
On top of the city walls, even the person under the giant yellow umbrella could feel the slight tremors.
”Your Majesty!”
The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards walked to Emperor Zhao Ming and slightly nodded his head, ”It can't be avoided anymore, please command the grand secretaries of Spiritual Light Hall to make their move now!”
Although his demeanour was not respectful, no one felt displeased about it at all. Even the emperor himself felt it should be this way too, ”Pass down my orders, the grand secretaries of Spiritual Light Hall are to assist Head in clearing the rebels!”
