Chapter 189 The Beast King of the Sky Wolf Clan
One day later.
The army has already traveled 500 kilometers north.
The wind from the Mongolian Plateau blew in from the north, carrying snowflakes and frozen soil, rustling against the armor.
A force of 30,000 men stretched out in a long, winding line across the wilderness.
Cavalry riding strange beasts patrolled the outer perimeter on both sides, with psionic cannon arrays in the center and infantry squares following closely behind.
The battle flags were blown by the wind into taut sails, fluttering wildly against the leaden sky.
Song Chen walked at the front of the group.
After the Eye of Truth was connected with Beiming's perception system, its field of vision was expanded to its limit.
He saw countless strange beasts gathering in the distance.
The herd of beasts gathered in an abandoned river valley called "Irontooth Valley".
The valley is flanked by raised rocky ridges, with a flat frozen tundra in the middle. The strange beasts choose to gather there because the terrain is open enough to spread out.
"Associate Song, scouts report that signs of strange beast activity have been detected 120 kilometers ahead. The number is unknown, and there is a dense fluctuation of psionic energy." He Beiting's voice came from the side.
How many?
"The psionic radar indicates that the number is not just the previously estimated 150,000; the exact number is still being confirmed."
"More than 150,000," Song Chen thought for a moment.
The army then continued its northward advance, covering another hundred kilometers.
He Beiting's voice rang out again: "Confirmed. Twenty kilometers ahead, in the direction of Iron Fang Valley, there are two hundred thousand strange beasts."
Song Chen gripped the Heavenly Blade tightly.
At this distance, the alien beast could arrive in a single strike.
He Beiting began to give orders.
"Form ranks."
Song Chen held the Heavenly Blade in his hand, and the Wings of Gale unfolded behind him. With a flap of his wings, he was launched from the front of the group, carving a scorched furrow in the frozen ground.
He crossed the 20-kilometer mark by himself first.
Behind him, He Beiting's roar exploded in the wind: "All troops, provide covering fire!"
Twelve mobile artillery units opened fire simultaneously, with one hundred and twenty psionic cannons and twenty-four heavy armor-piercing cannons spewing out blazing white flames from their muzzles.
The high-explosive psionic shell traced a parabola, quickly passing over Song Chen's head and crashing into the beast horde in Irontooth Valley.
The moment the shell hit the ground, the frozen soil exploded, and the limbs of the monster and shards of ice flew dozens of meters into the air.
The shockwave overturned swarms of alien beasts, and the heavy warheads of the armor-piercing cannons penetrated the bodies of large alien beasts and exploded, scattering bits of flesh and bone that riddled the surrounding low-level alien beasts with holes.
The cannon fire roared incessantly as the loader pushed new shells into the breech, the gunner calibrated, and fired. Then it was loaded again, calibrated again, and fired again.
One hundred and forty-four cannons unleashed thousands of shells every minute, turning the entrance to Iron Teeth Valley into a sea of fire.
The initial waves of the beasts' charge were halted by artillery fire, but with a combined force of 200,000, the artillery fire could blast open a gap, which would then be instantly filled by the beasts behind.
Then Song Chen arrived.
He passed beneath the trajectory of the artillery fire, like a golden-purple lightning bolt rushing into the forefront of the beast tide.
The lightning domain of the Nine Heavens Thunder exploded around him, and the strange beasts at the edge of the domain were not entangled by electric arcs, but were directly vaporized by the lightning.
[Second-tier beast defeated, gaining 45 kill points]
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 481 kill points]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 2850 kill points]
……
Within seconds, hundreds of notifications rang in my mind.
Song Chen didn't stop to kill them one by one. He cut through the beast tide, and wherever his golden-purple lightning domain passed, low-level beasts fell in droves.
The Heavenly Blade was swung out of his hand, and the Thunderous Annihilation Blade, empowered by the Nine Heavens Thunder, had its destructive power doubled.
With a single sweep of his blade, the blade's energy exploded in a fan shape, cleaving the strange beasts within hundreds of meters in front of him in half, leaving the cuts charred black.
Then he charged toward the first fifth step.
This is a mid-stage Tier 5 Abyssal Crocodile.
Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes.
A crimson-gold thread peeked through the golden-purple blade aura as it slashed at the shoulder joint of the right forelimb of the Deinosuchus, in the same spot where it had killed the Deinosuchus the day before.
However, the power of the sword aura, enhanced by the Nine Heavens Thunder, more than doubled.
The blade sliced through the scales, muscles, and tendons, then the entire right forelimb was removed from the torso.
The Abyssal Crocodile's massive body suddenly lost support on one side during its charge, crashing down like a capsized ship, crushing dozens of low-level beasts beneath it.
Song Chen gave it no chance to turn the tables, and with another slash, the crimson-gold blade energy pierced into the crocodile's belly, and lightning exploded inside its heart.
[Slayed a mid-tier Tier 5 Abyssal Crocodile, gaining 45142 kill points]
He pulled out his knife, shook off the blood, and rushed towards the next direction.
On the other side, 30,000 human troops and 200,000 alien beasts clashed at the entrance to Irontooth Valley.
The battlefield was fully unfolded at this moment.
The psionic artillery array continued to bombard the depths of the beast horde, with shells exploding in the areas where the beasts were most concentrated, each shell taking away dozens of low-level beasts.
The control squad of the superhuman brigade took action, with water-type and ice-type warriors joining forces to create a huge frozen area at the forefront of the beast tide.
The ice shell, tens of meters thick, was blasted off the ground. The charging monsters slipped on all fours, and those behind them crashed into each other, crowding together on the ice.
Then the lightning and fire assault teams followed, and thunderstorms and walls of fire exploded on the ice, causing the frozen beasts to fall in droves amidst the extreme heat of ice and fire.
The cavalry flanked the enemy from both sides, alternating between lances and psionic rifles. The lances pierced the heads of beasts below the fourth tier, while the rifles fired at any stragglers that tried to flank them from afar.
The infantry phalanx was at the forefront, with swordsmen and shieldmen using shield walls to withstand the first wave of attacks from the monsters, while longswordsmen thrust out from the gaps in the shield walls, each strike piercing the monsters' vital points.
However, the number of beasts was too great, 200,000 to 30,000, which was close to seven to one.
The human army's defensive line was constantly being compressed under the continuous attacks of the alien beasts.
Song Chen sensed all of this from the center of the beast horde, and his Eye of Truth projected the entire battlefield situation into his mind in real time.
Every gap in the human defenses, every wave of the beast charge, every movement path of the high-level beasts.
He knew he had to be faster.
He rushed into the area with the highest concentration of fifth-tier beasts.
The Heavenly Thunder Seven Slashes progressed from the third slash to the sixth, with the blade energy changing from crimson gold to pure gold.
An Ice-spine Dragon Lizard had its skull cleaved open with a single blow. A Blade-armored Dragon Lizard was killed with another single blow.
Two abyssal crocodiles pounced at him simultaneously. He slipped through the gap between them, severed the neck of the left crocodile with a backhand slash, and then plunged the knife into the eye socket of the right crocodile.
The corpses of fifth-tier alien beasts lay scattered behind him.
[Slayed a mid-tier Tier 5 beast, gaining 27000 kill points]
[Slayed a Tier 5 Upper-Level Beast, gaining 55000 Kill Points]
[Slayed a mid-tier Tier 5 beast, gaining 35000 kill points]
The kill count on the system panel was jumping wildly upwards in five-digit increments.
Then Song Chen saw the Sirius.
It stood on a raised rock ridge inside the valley entrance, not participating in the charge, but directing it.
The fifth-tier upper stage of the Sirius race is slightly larger than the Azure Scale Hunter Dragon, about five meters long, and its entire body is covered with short silver-gray fur.
The head is typical of a wolf, but the brow ridges are higher, the muzzle is wider, and the eyes are not vertical pupils but round pupils, like human eyes.
It was watching Song Chen, across the battlefield several kilometers away, across the artillery fire and thunderstorms, across the charge and slaughter of tens of thousands of alien beasts.
Song Chen was also looking at it. In the vision of the Eye of Truth, Sirius's psionic waveform was as clear as a knife mark carved in space.
Sharp, focused, and devoid of any unnecessary emotional fluctuations.
It was a cold, condescending assessment.
The beast royal family views a human as a human views a slightly stronger beast.
Song Chen pushed up his visor and smiled at Tianlang, even though they were several kilometers apart on the battlefield.
If we kill it, we can win this battle.
