The Great Battle Is About to Begin

After choosing a direction, the blood-red clouds rose again.

Kameda Sumiaki led five squads of barbarians northward.

The reason for choosing China and Kyrgyzstan was out of necessity.

Shangji went back home, while Xiaji stayed put.

Only the situation in China and Kyrgyzstan can change somewhat.

Whether the changes are good or bad, as long as they bring him some new information, that's fine.

Kameda Sumiaki had no intention of avenging any barbarians.

These families send many scions; it's nothing special.

What he needed was clear information, a plausible explanation to give to the high priest.

The group of barbarians headed north with a clear objective, their blood-red clouds moving at an extremely fast speed.

A blood-red cloud swept across the area, and a large mass of blood-red clouds could be seen from afar, its power truly formidable.

Xiao Qing saw the blood cloud from afar and woke up the sleeping Xu Yunxin.

With the Blood Fiend Cloud as its symbol, it's easy to guess that it's a Foundation Establishment expert from the Barbarians.

These barbarians are huddled together, their strength is too concentrated.

Xu Yunxin, leading the snake alone, was no match for them, so he had Xiaoqing move to the side to avoid them.

Unlike the great commotion caused by the barbarians.

Xiaoqing's ability to conceal herself by exhaling mist and swallowing clouds is extremely effective.

Furthermore, because they were deliberately hiding and avoiding the enemy, the barbarians did not notice them even with Kameda Sumiaki present.

After the barbarians rode past on the Blood Fiend Cloud, Xu Yunxin and Xiao Qing followed closely behind.

Blood Fiend Cloud was much faster than Little Green Soaring Cloud, but it was a more obvious target, so Xu Yunxin and Little Green wouldn't lose track of it.

Qingxi Town is not directly north; it is located to the east of the direction the Blood Fiend Cloud is traveling.

But the Seven Peaks Mountain behind the town stands out prominently in the vast, flat expanse of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland".

After the recent ritual of invoking the gods, the five teams of barbarians under Kameda Sumiki had exhausted all the prey they had hunted.

The Blood Fiend Cloud is currently supported by Blood Fiend himself, all funded by Kameda Sumiki.

For barbarians who rely entirely on nourishing and worshipping gods, blood offerings and blood spirits are of paramount importance.

Qingxi Town is so conspicuous, and it's a place where "human sacrifices" have been offered over the years, so the barbarians naturally wouldn't let it go.

The Blood Fiend Cloud naturally veered off course and rushed straight toward Qingxi Town.

Kameda Sumiaki prepared to replenish some of his blood-eating and evil energy here, so that he wouldn't need to use it again later.

As the barbarians charged toward Qingxi Town, Xu Yunxin, who was trailing behind, immediately became nervous.

From the moment they saw Qifeng Mountain to the moment they reached Qingxi Town at the foot of Qifeng Mountain, the blood-red cloud of evil energy took only one hour.

The soldiers of Qingxi Town, who had been on guard against the barbarians, had naturally discovered this blood-red cloud long ago.

"Waaah~~"

Even before the blood-red clouds reached the horizon, a low, mournful horn sounded in the town.

Uncle Fu and the Yue sisters appeared on the town wall at the same time, looking solemnly at the blood-red clouds on the horizon.

Uncle Fu had no experience in battle and was unfamiliar with the barbarians' tactics. Seeing the blood-red cloud rushing towards him, he nervously asked Yue Yinping beside him.

"Bottle Girl, how will these barbarians attack?"

Uncle Fu asked this because he was afraid the barbarians would directly ride the clouds and storm the town.

If that's the case, then the trenches they painstakingly dug would be completely useless.

The archers, who were preparing to intercept the barbarians' "bow stance foot soldiers," were unable to exert their full power.

Moreover, this blood-red cloud looked incredibly powerful, definitely not something an ordinary barbarian squad could create.

Taking off into the air is a foundation-building technique!

Everyone had a bad feeling, mainly because their leader, Xu Yunxin, hadn't returned yet!

Although Yue Yinping had never faced the barbarians head-on, she came from a military family and was not as nervous as Uncle Fu.

In fact, not only Yue Yinping, but also Yue Shaohua and the soldiers on the town wall were very calm.

Seeing that Uncle Fu was a little nervous, Yue Yinping said softly, "Uncle Fu, as long as we put up a fight, the barbarians won't easily drive Yunchong Town directly."

"Even if they dared to charge, they wouldn't be able to break through the 'Zhengde Golden Light Formation' defenses in one go!"

This is the townspeople's chance to fight back!

Yue Yinping's judgment was not wrong.

Even if the barbarians are at the Foundation Establishment stage and lead the charge, they will be blocked by the defense of the first-tier superior "Zhengde Golden Light Formation".

At that time, the barbarians will be facing the people on the town wall directly through the defensive array, making it difficult for the town soldiers to miss their shots!

As they spoke, the blood-red clouds on the horizon had already reached the first moat outside the town.

To be honest, Kameda Sumiaki originally planned to charge straight into the town.

But he had already seen dozens of people standing on the town wall, each armed with a bow and arrow, heavily guarded.

With the enemy already on guard and their strength unknown, rushing into the town rashly is definitely not the best strategy.

Kameda Aka descended from the clouds and stopped outside the first moat of Qingxi Town.

Without Kameda Sumaki's arrangement, Tomorrow Asahi and the other "Summoning Gods" will order their "Archers" to form a battle formation.

After briefly surveying the defenses outside Qingxi Town, he...

Tomorrow, Chaoyang reports to Kameda Sumi: "My lord, there are two moats in front of the town, and there are dozens of archers in the town. Other details are unknown." (in Mandarin)

Upon hearing this, Kameda Sumiaki said, "Let's launch an attack first and test the waters." (in Mandarin)

"Yes, sir!" (in a barbarian language).

After receiving the order, Chaoyang will immediately arrange for a short "Summoning God" barbarian, who is only a little over three feet tall, to go into battle.

This short "summoner" was named Aida Toshimitsu. Upon receiving the order, he immediately cast a spell, summoning a giant blood toad from his body.

This blood toad has eyes as big as copper bells, and its back is covered with raised fleshy bumps, each more than three feet high.

After summoning the Blood Toad, Aida Toshimitsu leaped onto the toad's head, and his "archer foot soldiers" also climbed onto the Blood Toad's body.

Each "bow stance" practitioner found a suitable fleshy spot to stand close to.

Then the blood toad pushed off with all four legs and jumped over the first trench, leaping to the front of the second trench.

"Release the arrows!"

Seeing the blood toad leap into the range of the arrows, Yue Yinping immediately gave the order.

The garrison soldiers, who were already prepared, immediately released their arrows. More than twenty arrows whistled through the air and shot precisely at the back of the blood toad.

These twenty-odd soldiers from Qingxi Town were all veterans, all at the late stage of Body Building, and their arrows were fast and accurate.

The "bow-step footwork" on the Blood Toad's back is worshipped by everyone, and everyone is empowered by the power of blood and evil. When they see arrows coming, they immediately duck and hide behind the fleshy bumps on the Blood Toad's back.

The arrows struck the fleshy lump, unable to penetrate its defenses, and fell to the ground.

Aida Toshimitsu and the "archer" on the Blood Toad's back were smug. Two of the "archers" got up to fight back, while the others made a racket and shouted.

When Yue Yinping saw the two archers raise their bows to shoot, she immediately raised her hand, drew her bow, and fired two arrows, breaking the arrows that the two archers were shooting at her!

As soon as Yue Yinping made her move, Asahi, who was standing next to Kameda Cunchi, immediately said, "My lord, this person is a Qi Refiner."

Then, the soldiers on the town wall fired a second volley of arrows.

This volley of arrows was different from the last one; the arrow shafts were fitted with a thin, black needle.
