Inside the room, the atmosphere was dim.
Ta Dun Frowned: “You think this is good?”
Angelina’s expression was calm: “We have already investigated a bit on their strengths. If they are not strong enough to become our allies, then our 100 treasures are our only bargaining chips.”
Ta Dun was quiet, Angelina was right. The situation was getting messier and messier, with Ursa Major Constellation and Orion Constellation people getting involved, it clearly showed that they were unable to hold on to the 100 treasures, so how they were going to use the treasures became more beneficial for Andromeda Constellation, and it was something they were required to ponder on.
Just that, Ta Dun did not like such plans, he preferred to be on the field and fighting. He looked at Angelina, her face did not have any indecisiveness nor loss anymore, and was even more calm.
She had grown up.
Ta Dun was deeply moved, but was not in the least bit happy. If it was possible, he preferred the naive and pure girl that would await for her father to bring her gifts.
But, the current Angelina was who Andromeda Constellation needed.
Around 3km away from where Tang Tian and his friends were staying, there was an old and dilapidated warehouse which belonged to a small family of traders. Currently, it was being rented by a mysterious guest.
Although there had been developments of recovery for the businesses in Fairy City, the market was much more decayed than before, and for the warehouse that had always been empty to be able to be rented out for a big sum of money, the boss was extremely happy. If the warehouse was closer to Master Tang Tian’s manor, it would definitely be able to be rented at an even better price. But the current hottest location was the area around Prince Adrian, and following that was Tang Tian’s manor.
The taverns and homes near these two places were all filled with people.
Sadly, his warehouse was too far from Tang Tian, so he was rather satisfied with the rent he had.
Entirely different from the darkness outside, the warehouse was brightly lit up inside.
If the branch master of the small commerces saw the interior of the warehouse, they would definitely be stunned. Inside the big warehouse, as though they were lined up properly, it was filled with Flaming Steps Horses and people. Every martial artist was seated beside their horses and resting, while the Flaming Steps Horses were very calm, as though they were sleeping.
No one communicated with each other, no one talked. The interior of the warehouse was extremely peaceful.
Suddenly, a sound that resembled the buzzing of bees came out. All the martial artists who were resting with their eyes closed all opened their eyes at the same time, their faces revealing an indescribable excitement and enthusiasm.
“Everyone, get ready!”
Tang Yi’s bellow sounded out in everyone’s ears like thunder.
Huala.
One united sound came out. It was the sound of all the martial artists getting up onto their horses. The troops that initially looked like a messy calvary, quickly became stern and solemn.
Tang Yi was expressionless, but his heart was secretly nodding. After the long period of bitterly training them, finally they had the air of true troops.
The warehouse opened quietly, allowing the sound of the bustling and flourishing streets outside to enter their ears. To the citizens of Fairy City who were used to the night lights, it was just the start of the night life.
“Move out!”
Tang Yi was the first to rush out of the warehouse, the cavalry behind him flowed out like water out of the warehouse.
The warehouse was not in the main road, and was in a remote side road. The galloping sounds of horses running surged like torrents through the side roads.
By the time Tang Yi rushed to the main road, the pedestrians were all shocked and stuck in their position, their face looked in shock at the army of cavalry that appeared from nowhere.
Upon leaving the small alleyway, Tang Yi’s expression was cold, kicking the Flaming Steps Horse, it neighed out loud.
The Flaming Steps Horse under Tang Yi was a rarely seen seventh level Flaming Steps Horse King, it’s entire body was as red as blood, it’s spirit was extraordinary. The horse neigh cut through the night air, bringing forth a dense battle intent.
Everyone watched in shock as streams of cavalry came out from the small alley.
In the blink of an eye, the densely packed troops appeared in front of everybody.
“Advance.”
Tang Yi’s expressionlessly moved forward, the Flaming Steps Horse King moving forward like a red fiery shadow. The cavalry behind did not have the hint of hesitation and moved onwards as well.
200 Flaming Steps Horses moved forward quietly on the main road.
The wide road that was made entirely of rocks was best suited for cavalry to charge.
The heavy and powerful hooves struck the hard and sturdy stone floors, igniting sparks and thunderous sounds. When the 200 cavalry gathered together, it was like an unstoppable magma flow. Everyone on the street trembled and froze, the pedestrian were all shocked, and all stepped aside to make way.
In the darkness, the rolling thunder hoof sounds moved rapidly like they were engaging in war, sounding out far and wide.
On the horse, Tang Yi’s face was calm like water, he was in deep admiration and respect for Master Crane’s plans. As expected of Master Crane, his intellect was second to none!
When Ta Dun sent people to send the completed treasures to the manor, Crane and Ling Xu had already anticipated the dangers that were to come, so Crane had secretly sent Tang Yi that very night to the barracks to request for support, and formulate such a plan.
To prevent people from finding out, Crane had selected a location far away from the manor. Upon entering the city, Tang Yi and his men would act as traders, where Ling Xu actually gave a few advice, as he had travelled with traders to the south for a period of time, and knew them inside out. 200 people broke up into groups, and went as different caravans.
This process went much more smoothly than they thought, especially since Fairy City was in a period of turmoil. Although Plateau Army was defending Fairy City, but the day to day defense was not strong, as the original patrol guards had all suffered serious injuries. Adding the continuous flow of martial artists pouring into the city, the stronger and more formidable martial artists with bad tempers, would randomly fight at anytime. The patrolling units who were not as strong could not fight against them, and had no choice but to act as if they did not see anything, as they did not dare to provoke trouble.
Although the warehouse was slightly far, but the distance of 3km was not far for the Flaming Steps Horses, and they arrived in a jiffy.
With Master Crane and Master Ling Xu’s strength, it was not a problem for them to hold the enemies off.
And they only had one task, and that was to give all the enemies a strike as heavy as thunder, to intimidate them.
Fighting intent soared in Tang Yi’s chest, his tiny pupils shone with a flickering light, the aura around his body quietly converged.
As a spirit and a soldier, Tang Yi’s transformation immediately affected the 200 cavalry behind him, all their fighting intent soaring.
200 armored cavalry all formed a neat file, suddenly forming one body, crazily rushing forward.
The manor was in silence, as everyone was stunned by Tang Tian’s display of power, his hand was truly too shocking. Looking at all the concealed weapons in all sizes at Tang Tian’s feet, all different types and sorts in numerous numbers, in a glance, anyone could tell that he had caught about 100 of them.
The silver arrow and mist attack that Black Puppet had sent, was actually also broken.
In the darkness, the fingers that produced the sparks and the light that disappeared from the sky, was a scene that had been imbedded in everyone’s memories.
This fellow…
Before, everyone all could only guess and predict what Tang Tian would be like, but at the moment, only fear was in their hearts.
In the midst of the silence, the thunderous sound of galloping horses gradually came closer, causing everyone to awake from their stupor. Everyone did not notice, as the involvement of the Plateau Army was very normal. And they believed that Plateau Army would not take action against them.
All of them had a deep and powerful background, where Plateau Army had no way to fight against. So what they could only do was to protect Tang Tian and his friends.
Everyone thought that the battle would be over soon. No one thought that the first night would have an outcome of death, as everyone was there more to investigate, and they needed time to digest the outcome of the battle.
Everyone realized they needed to reevaluate Tang Tian’s strength.
That was what everyone was currently thinking, many of them had already decided to turn and leave the battlefield.
Ding!
Just as the last concealed weapon dropped from Tang Tian’s hand, he suddenly became awake. Eh, Was I attacked? Eh, not right, I was attacked by someone!
Godlike young man, only had history of bullying people, since when would a godlike young man get bullied instead?
Tang Tian’s heart immediately grew in rage, his eyes turned blood red as he bellowed: “You all dared to hit me! You wanna die!”
“Before the “die” word had dropped, the wall had suddenly exploded.
Bang!
A loud sound erupted as dust pervaded the air.
In the darkness, the mouths of many people twitched. Plateau Army had a small role, and also came to join in the fun. But in the next moment, everyone was stunned.
It was not Plateau Army.
The unfamiliar armored cavalry, rushed in steadily. Their speed was extremely fast, in a moment the surrounding walls crumbled with dust flying everywhere, as though the place was struck by a tornado, everything disappeared.
Tang Yi saw Tang Tian who was enraged, his originally small eyes suddenly opened wide, killing intent being exposed.
The killing intent immediately pervaded the entire field.
“Kill!”
Lupus Army suddenly scattered, forming 20 small groups like 20 sharp arrows, suddenly rushing towards the people inside the manor.
Lupus Army!
Liu Zhong Guang’s eyes contracted as the word ambush surfaced in his mind. The time that it took Lupus Army to appear from when the attacks started could be considered negligible, but the power displayed by the Lupus Army, surprised him.
Their troops were too synchronised, to the point that he could not believe his own eyes.
All the small groups were as straight as a line to the point that even a ruler could be used side by side them. When they pierced forward, they were like a long sharp lance.
This was the first time Liang Zhong Guang witnessed such an army. Ignoring the strength of each individual soldier, solely on the unison of the army units, it was not something any army could perform.
Although Liu Zhong Guang was surprised by Lupus Army’s military capacity, the following attacks did not have any warnings. 10 people to one small group pierced forward, it could defeat an ordinary martial artist, but for an expert, it was not enough.
Such an impressionable army, Tang Tian should want to show off his own strength right…
Liu Zhong Guang felt that it was a good choice, perfect to display his strength, and allow them to be in a more advantageous position.
As expected of a scheming person!
Liu Zhong Guang believed Ah Xiu’s words.
“Kill!”
The 20 small groups shouted in unison as they converged into a powerful current.
Liu Zhong Guang was stunned, the roar was filled with killing intent, and did not seem to be a bluff.
In his vision, all of the Lupus martial artists had uniformly raised the scimitars.
Liu Zhong Guang was stirred, his pupils dilating.
The scimitars were like crescent moons, the light auras as white as snow.
200 scimitars, formed like an invisible thread landing neatly.
10 auras forming one, the blade lights turned into spears!
The suddenly blazing light auras, reflected Liu Zhong Guang’s frozen expression.
