Chapter 1497 – Fire Beacons In Every Directions (1)
The assault team of the four-nation alliance advanced wildly in the direction of The Rising Sun City. Over the entire
fifteen days, they had already taken down four cities; all of which, without any exception, had fallen into ruins after
they broke into the city.
During the fifteen-day battle, the four-nation alliance seemed to be suffering from torture again and again. They
were seemingly victorious, but did not get a little advantage at all.
They did not get even a little bit of spoils, the number of the enemies they killed was only about one hundred, and
each time, the casualties of the opposite side would only be some lower demons; they did not even see half the
shadow of a middle demon.
In contrast, within these fifteen days, they had lost more than two hundred siege weapons, and the death toll had
exceeded 300,000 men already.
With more than two hundred siege weapons and 300,000 lives exchanged for four ruins, could this be called
victory?
The four-nation alliance, from top to bottom, had an impulse to vomit blood.
They hated that they could not pull Shen Yanxiao out of The Rising Sun City and ask her nicely if there were such a
war like this!
Why don’t you just come out and fight against us directly, instead of letting the lower demons attack them while
taking shelter inside the forts, and tormenting people as such!
Do you even dare to fight with us in an upright manner?
The four-nation alliance wanted to cry. Even if Shen Yanxiao carried millions of demons with her into battle right
now, it was still much better than this.
This was the most sullen war they had ever experienced.
After half a month of fighting, all the demons of the opposite side were killed by long-range attacks, and many of
them did not even touch the corner of the enemy’s clothes.
Even if you make this war a sullen one, at least leave them some damn spoils of war, alright?
What could they do with a land of ruins?
The enthusiasm of the four countries’ commanders had been consumed little by little in this bizarre battle in the
Barren Land.
They felt that all of them were being fooled by Shen Yanxiao.
Not only that, but there was also no room to retaliate
They could only put on a bold face and continue to drive the siege weapons to seize the next city.
But no matter how luxurious and tough the city was, after they had won the battle, the cities would immediately
become ruins.
The manpower and material resources they had consumed did not receive the same amount of return.
Such a psychological blow was more terrible than a physical blow.
Standing in the Barren Land, Jiang Wan looked at the next city not far away, yet his heart could not feel a little
enthusiasm.
“To reach The Rising Sun City, we will have to pass through at least seven cities. If we go on like this, once we
arrive at The Rising Sun City, I’m afraid that only just over 500 of our siege weapons will be left.”
Shi Heng stood next to Jiang Wan. Their characters were somewhat similar. After a few previous blows, Shi Heng
and Jiang Wan had formed a brief alliance in private to prevent loss in this battle. At this time, they had to put down
the prejudice between each other’s countries, stand together and discuss things.
“Is there no other way to avoid this?” Shi Heng frowned. Although more than 500 siege weapons were not too
small, it was said that The Rising Sun City was the most tough one of all the cities in the Barren Land. These siege
weapons made him feel somewhat unsure.
Jiang Wan shook his head then said, “Head Shi Heng should be very clear. We don’t know anything about the
arrangement of The Rising Sun City. Other than Shen Yanxiao’s trusted aides, there are no outsiders who can enter
The Rising Sun City. It is not clear how strong it truly is. The path we have chosen is already the fastest.”
