Chapter 347: Reinforcements
With a command from Wang Hong, everyone ascended into the sky together.
They were racing against time now, aiming to quickly eliminate these monstrous birds before they reached their stronghold.
These monstrous birds were not particularly large, and aside from being slightly faster, they had no significant advantages in battle. That's why Wang Hong had the confidence to eliminate nearly ten thousand of them in such a short time.
In the center was the Flying Boat, the weakest of the three groups. It spread its wings on both sides like the wings of a bird, flanking the monstrous birds from both sides.
"Boom! Boom!"
With a distance of over two hundred zhang still between them, the spiritual energy cannons on the Flying Boat started to bombard the front.
The principle behind these spiritual energy cannons was similar to cultivators casting Magical Arts. They used Spirit Stones as a power source, converting spiritual energy into powerful Magical Arts through the formations on the cannons.
These Magical Arts were not all the same. The spiritual energy cannons on Wang Hong's Flying Boat included both the Rain of Ice and Rain of Fire Arts.
First, several Rain of Ice Arts from the spiritual energy cannons struck directly into the flock of flying beasts. Some of the monstrous birds at the forefront were frozen into ice blocks and fell to the ground, shattering upon impact.
The remaining birds that weren't frozen solid were shivering from the cold, their flight patterns erratic.
Before the cold had a chance to dissipate, there were more booming sounds from the Flying Boat. This time, it was a torrential rain of fire.
These creatures, lacking much intelligence, were initially relieved by the sudden warmth. However, their relief was short-lived as the rain of fire descended upon them, causing another round of agonizing screeches.
Countless monstrous birds turned into fireballs and plummeted, while those that only caught the edges of the flames had their feathers singed, making their flight less agile.Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on
But this wasn't the end. Following more booming sounds, another rain of ice fell from the sky.
Some of the birds had just been roasted, and when the cold air hit them, their bodies cracked open.
After enduring multiple rounds of bombardment from the spiritual energy cannons, the two sides finally closed in. Originally, there were over ten thousand monstrous birds, but after the onslaught of the cannons, they had lost nearly two thousand.
Many of the remaining birds were injured, and at this moment, they finally encountered the culprits responsible for their suffering. They charged angrily towards the Flying Boat.
They were met with another wave of cannon fire, resulting in more casualties.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong rode on Little Peng's back, wielding a golden Flying Sword, leading the charge towards the monstrous birds. The rest of the team members followed closely, entering the midst of the monstrous bird flock.
On Feng Chang's side, there was no room for hesitation either. Each of them summoned their Spiritual Weapons and began bombarding the monstrous birds.
Then he moved on to the next stronghold.
Another stronghold, led by a commander named Yuan Jin, also dispatched a team to reinforce. Although they weren't as proactive as Fu Li, they had thousands of people on the way.
In the air, they charged into the monstrous birds, striking from the front and behind the flock, cutting through them.
After slaughtering most of the monstrous birds, only about four thousand remained, charging towards the stronghold.
The stronghold was defended by five thousand Qi Cultivation cultivators, and they were not afraid of these remaining four thousand monstrous birds.
Wang Hong and his team turned back, heading towards the monstrous birds.
With both aerial and stronghold attacks, the remaining four thousand monstrous birds were soon eliminated. At this point, the ground-based Demonic Beasts had reached the base of the city wall and launched a fierce assault. Under the combined pressure of countless Demonic Beasts, the city wall trembled.
In just a short moment, some Demonic Beasts had climbed onto the city wall, causing chaos among the defenders.
Luckily, Wang Hong and his team had dealt with the monstrous birds and returned to the city wall in time, temporarily stabilizing the situation. However, it was still possible for the Demonic Beasts to breach the wall at any moment.
After all, the number of cultivators defending the stronghold was only a few thousand, while the Demonic Beasts below numbered in the tens of thousands, ten times their quantity.
Furthermore, the crawling Demonic Beasts were much stronger in terms of size and power than the flying ones, making them even more difficult to handle.
Wang Hong ordered the Foundation Building cultivators to spread out along the city wall and assist in the elimination of the Demonic Beasts.
Ling Xue continued to command the Flying Boat, patrolling along the city wall. Whenever a section seemed on the verge of collapse, they would fly over to provide support.
The eighty Qi Cultivation cultivators on the Flying Boat all had a cultivation level in the later stages of Qi Cultivation and wielded low-grade Spiritual Weapons.
Whenever all eighty of them simultaneously shot their arrows, they could create a clearing effect in a small area, though it was quickly filled by the advancing Beast Tide.
Despite their efforts, they were becoming overwhelmed, and some sections of the city wall had started to crack.
Fortunately, after holding out for a while, Fu Li's two thousand Qi Cultivation reinforcements finally arrived.
With the addition of these fresh troops, the frontlines breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the mission remained arduous, and the stronghold was still at risk of being breached at any moment.
