Chapter 130: War
Shocking information made Selena and Cavensyl, along with other vice-generals, run over.
That was Clamr having returned with a body all covered in blood. He jumped down the abyss and his body had many broken bones; he survived in the forest and recovered his energy and recovered his body.
Sitting in the tent with new clothes. He had a quite handsome appearance, a tall figure.
Surrounding were the vice-captains and Selena along with Cavensyl. After sobbing and crying, they also told Clamr the situation of the battle.
"I understand, everyone has arranged so thoroughly and it has reached the threshold of the battle; we just proceed like that."
Selena was still very worried for her brother, her eyes showing clear concern.
"Are you okay? Take a rest."
Clamr propped his hands on his hips and burst out laughing confidently:
"Hahaha, it's fine."
…
When the sun appeared in the east, dawn dyed a corner of the sky red.
Boom!... Boom!…
The battle had occurred about an incense stick's time ago when the Roam city side pulled the grand army over and began attacking first. But the Tharros city side was still very vigilant; they had prepared ready before the sun rose, so the reaction was still very timely.
Energy cannons were continuously firing back and forth.
This cannon had a very large size, it was 2 tharn (4m) high. The cannon barrel was extremely large, made from composite iron forged many times; one can imagine the forging method as if there is a large and thick iron block, forging it will make it ten times smaller, showing how solid it is. The supports were all compressed metal blocks to keep them from recoiling when firing.
When the cannon was forged, different types of stones were cast in to adapt. At the end of the barrel was a block of extremely dense dark blue stone capable of synthesizing energy, the name of this stone being energy synthesis stone. When operating this cannon, at least six people are needed; there will be four people with large energy wells pouring energy into the energy synthesis stone, then one person will be the operator—and the operator must have a good spirit to always keep focus when releasing the energy source outward. As for the remaining person, they must be one with the ability to use the earth element, because the cannon is very heavy, so using the earth element and changing the ground below to adjust the firing direction.
The battlefield was in chaos; thirty energy cannons of Tharros city were placed on the wall and were firing large and long energy paths down onto the battlefield. On the Roam city side, they placed them in rows at a distance. In front of the cannon, there was always a square energy layer to protect the cannon temporarily by a stone that could create an energy layer like a barrier.
Each city had a barrier array with high complexity protecting it. Thus the cannons of Roam city were smashing this barrier layer powerfully. As for the Tharros city side, thanks to the people maintaining the barrier, they created a large hole in the barrier to attack downward; immediately after the energy cannon finished firing, they immediately closed the barrier to avoid being targeted.
The war situation was extremely tense. Although the Tharros city side had the advantage of energy cannons firing down at the army, on the Roam side, the cannons were forced to be used to destroy the barrier without participating in firing at the battlefield, making the Roam city side receive heavy fire.
But the drum sound from the "Mad Blood Ancient Drum" still rang out non-stop:
" Tung tung…tung…tung…tung…"
The mercenary army of the Roam city side was much larger than the Tharros city side. The reason for this was because if following Roam and winning, while the Tharros city side was wealthier than Roam city, so if winning there would be a larger sum of money.
The large number of troops along with having the Mad Blood Ancient Drum made the Roam city army like a pack of bloodthirsty killing monsters. They felt extremely excited and stimulated, while the mind still maintained at a level of awareness, making the combat strength both strong and having higher consciousness, making them strong like monsters but not stupid like low-level monsters.
The large pit traps with many spikes truly were only a small form of stalling. Simply because if created with the earth element, why would the earth element of others be unable to fill it?
Some used fire, water, lightning elements... almost all elements. Some transformed themselves into large bears up to 2 tharn (4m) high, large tigers, buffalo, and many others.
Slashes of strong ones horizontally could sweep across a large area cutting the bodies of many soldiers in half. Arrows, energy balls, and various types of strength flew " Whoosh whoosh" over heads, large explosions spread around, energy slashes of all sorts of characteristic colors of that person. Some alone rushed straight into the crowd; some were surrounded near death. Some crawled up from the ground. The ground everywhere was full of holes and large trenches.
There were also those riding eagles and various types of birds flying in the air, dodging attacks from below and continuously releasing energy balls that exploded when falling near the ground. Some were born with wings; he flew in the air and was killing those riding birds.
Energy cannons continued to blast.
The screams of those wounded and about to die echoed but no one cared about those calls for help; some shouted loudly to gain more morale.
Selena and Cavensyl were standing on the wall and observing down at the battlefield. The energy cannons were showing their effectiveness as the firing times were quite close together, not to mention all were directed at one target. That was to split the formation and disrupt the formation of the Roam city side. The cannons fired close to each other in time; this created a long stretch of large explosions, destroying many soldiers and creating large gaps after the explosions; thus the Roam city army continuously had to fill them, otherwise the force would be like a blinking light—having force then losing it, repeating over and over creating a bad effect in the battle.
On the other side of the battlefield, Varlen wearing shiny metal armor stood on a large rocky outcrop observing.
From above, he also recognized this situation. Immediately he yelled orders urgently:
"Quickly fill the gaps for me. Those who control the earth element, block those firing shots. Attack with energy-disrupting strikes to block those shots."
Varlen gritted his teeth in anger.
"Damn it."
He continued to yell:
"Fire cannons at one point; you people firing off by a stretch, how can it be effective?"
"Divide fire down to the battlefield, 7 cannons for me."
The soldiers standing nearby, they had a wave-shaped necklace; this necklace was used to transmit sound and orders.
At a corner of the battlefield. Hufu was fighting Kamika. Hufu with a body all covered in the blood of others stuck on him as he swung the great sword in his hand. His face was extremely delighted and excited when killing. His muscles were extremely large and hard; energy surrounded him densely.
As for Kamika, her body was also all covered in blood. Her body was larger than before, energy densely surrounding her. Her two hands had shifted like the paws of a tiger, but the claws were extremely long. Her two legs also transformed into tiger legs, the tail larger and wagging. Her face had a few whiskers on both cheeks, fangs lengthened, two green eyes like a predator. More hair grew on her face and hands.
Kamika and Hufu confronted each other directly on the battlefield; they rushed through groups of soldiers and ripped them apart with swings of claws and swings of the sword.
Kamika swung a slap from right to left, claws sharp as if scratching the air, large energy concentrated forward. Hufu also did not shy from collision; he swung the great sword from right to left as if throwing it.
Boom!!!
The two sides collided with each other and immediately lunged at each other…
Kamika bared sharp fangs, swinging a slap with her left hand toward Hufu's face.
Hufu smirked; he immediately ducked, making Kamika's slap graze over his head.
Immediately Hufu sat up, his head like a stone block lunging up. Kamika could not react in time and was immediately headbutted from below to above into her chin by Hufu's head.
Gritting her teeth enduring the pain, eyes wide open, pupils dilated, she was tossed up a small distance away.
Immediately Hufu swung the great sword from above down wanting to split Kamika in two. But it wasn't that easy; Kamika was a beast-kin so her reflexes and senses were extremely good. As soon as her feet touched the ground, the sword directing down from above was dodged to Hufu's left side by her, successfully dodging it.
Right as she dodged to Hufu's left, she swung an energy scratch at close range with four parallel energy strikes flying straight at Hufu.
Hufu's sword had only just hit the ground when Kamika dodged the slash, so he could not react in time.
Stab...!!!
Immediately four parallel energy strikes lunged straight into Hufu creating four lines of wounds from top to bottom on his body; but because the energy surrounding him was too dense, not to mention Kamika's strike also had quite little energy because she didn't have much time. Thus the wounds were not too deep.
But that was also enough to make Hufu release his hand from the blade and his body fly back a distance.
A battle where hitting only a few strikes is only the beginning. A real battle is continuous tit-for-tat, catching openings and catching back openings of the opponent. Getting hit not too fatally results in recovery; most with high strength have very large energy wells, so a battle can last a very long time.
Not to mention if they are stronger, or facing those with good recovery abilities. Or higher, the abilities of dragons and vampires, especially demons. Even strong ones might have to fight for several months before knowing who the winner is.
