C1016 Encountering The army of the Shocking Flood Empire
After Zhang Xing and the others finished collecting their clothes, they were brought to a city gate of the fort, where each of them received a tattered sword.
Some of the blades were dull, while others had gums.
Everyone else angrily lowered their heads. Was this even a weapon? What was the difference between it and a broken wooden stick?
They cursed the State of Sierra Leone's emperor in their hearts, cursed the nobles in the imperial court, and cursed the soldiers in the fortress.
"Open the gates of the fort!"
At the command of the commander, hundreds of city guards began to busy themselves in front of the huge iron gate.
When they were done, one of the soldiers raised the banner in his hand and reported to the commander.
Following that, the Commander took out a Mage Sound Transmission Stone and said a few words.
With the sound of a metal spring, the 100 meter tall steel door slowly opened by itself. It was 6 meters wide and 3 meters tall.
Zhang Xing used his Divine Sense to scan through it. There were already three gates of this height.
They were both built between two mountains that reached into the clouds and pierced the sky.
If they wanted to attack the stronghold, the amount of troops that would fly in from the air was limited.
It could only be those Six Star Warlord and a small number of the Wyvern Army.
The other flying magical beast could not fly so high.
Of course the Jing Hong Empire would not send all of the five Six Star Venerable One over. After all, the East and West Union also had quite a few Venerable Ones of the same level.
They also had to guard against the Six Star Venerable One of the Alliance from sneak attacking their headquarters or even the imperial city.
"Your target is a hundred miles ahead. There is a low hill there, and all you need to do is return."
"This is your mission today. Those who come back alive have meat and wine."
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, three hundred thousand cannon fodder were thrown out of the stronghold's gates by the soldiers behind him.
"According to the usual time, the army of Jing Hong Empire should have come. But why are they still gone?"
The commander frowned as he muttered to himself.
The reason why he sent out the cannon fodder was to test out where the enemy was hiding.
Was the use of Bright Blade and Bright Spear terrifying? This was the situation on the battlefield that caused people to be unable to sleep or eat in peace.
The enemy troops had already cleared 12 cities, there was no other route to attack, the only route left for them was the Glory Fortress.
However, they seemed to have disappeared into thin air. The scouts had already run two hundred miles away, and there wasn't even a single enemy to be seen.
That shouldn't be the case!
The commander shook his head and stopped thinking about these matters. He turned around and flew back to the fortress. He wanted to report the situation to the castle lord.
At this time, Zhang Xing and the other three hundred thousand people were running like a swarm of bees.
He had no choice but to run. There were countless crossbow bolts behind him, and magic stones were aimed at them.
These people's cultivation was not very high, but most of them were between high level Battlemaster and battle spirits.2
If this was the Star Empire Alliance, it would definitely be a powerful force.
But in a sixth-rate Empire, he was just cannon fodder.
Two hours later, the speed of the three hundred thousand men slowed down, and they soon reached the hill that was a hundred miles away.
Everyone was on tenterhooks along the way, afraid that the Jing Hong Empire's army would suddenly appear.
Another ten minutes passed, and more than a dozen temporarily appointed captains climbed the hill.
As far as the eye could see, there was no one ahead of them. There was only a desolate piece of land.
"We did not discover any enemy troops, let's retreat!"
A captain shouted excitedly.
In a split-second, cheers rang out from the bottom of the hill. They had finally completed the suicide mission, and now they could safely return home.
However, at this moment, several loud and clear cries suddenly rang out in the sky.
Everyone's cheers immediately stopped.
They slowly raised their heads to look and saw countless black figures emerging from the clouds.
"This is bad!" It's the Jing Hong Empire's aerial unit, run! "
Before his shout could fade away, the crowd had already turned into chaos. They were all scrambling for the path they had come from.
