Chapter 1501 – Shen Yanxiao’s Crafty Idea (2)
As night fell, the alliance of four countries camped on the vast expanse of the Barren Land. Tents were set up in the
camp, and a pile of bonfires was ignited, lighting a cluster of flames in this dark, desolate piece of land.
Several soldiers of the Long Xuan Empire sat around the campfire, and from time to time they would look at the
city that they had attacked yesterday not far away.
Or perhaps, it shouldn’t be called a city anymore, but a pile of rocks instead.
“That Shen Yanxiao is really too ruthless in handling things. Does she really have to destroy the city so thoroughly?
Now we don’t even have a place to stay.” A soldier couldn’t help but complain.
The climate of the Barren Land was almost life-threatening: the daytime was still good, but the temperature dropped
suddenly at night; many of them could not get used to it. A gust of cold wind pierced through their armour and
chilled their bones.
If those cities were still there, they would have had a place to shelter themselves from the wind and rain, and they
wouldn’t have to spend the night in the open, in this wilderness
“It’s just a mere struggle before death! She knows that she is not the opponent of our four-nation alliance, so she
plans to ruin everything.” Another soldier said.
“I had inquired a lot about the situation of cities in the Barren Land before, hoping to stay in them for a day or two
during this war. The result is this.” The soldier curled his lips downwards and was very regretful.
“Be careful of your words. If Commander Jiang Wan hears you, you will have some good fruit to eat.”
“Gee, I’m just saying that this matter is mainly to be blamed on Shen Yanxiao. As a disciple of Vermillion Bird
Clan, is honestly staying in the Imperial Capital not very good? She actually had to go to this Barren Land, renounce
her nationality, and even collude with the demons. Say, if she shared her snacks, then things wouldn’t have to be so
eventful like this, right? If this place already belonged to the Long Xuan Empire at an earlier time, do we still need
to run here to suffer? I really don’t understand what that stinky girl is doing. What is wrong with her brain?” The
soldier vented all of his grievances at the enemy’s body, after which he got up and wanted to go to the edge of the
fire to get some food.
However, his foot had just stepped forward when he felt a force coming from his back. The next second he
involuntarily fell towards the fire.
In an instant, the soldier who had fallen into the fire shrieked just like a pig being slaughtered, and immediately
rolled away from the fire. The soldiers sitting next to him were directly stupefied.
How could this fellow suddenly fall without rhyme or reason, and even smash his face on the fire?
Was this a proper way to be disfigured?
The accident on this side attracted many soldiers’ attention.
A few breezes swept past the soldiers, carrying a faint scent.
The siege weapons of the four countries were under the supervision of the commanders of the four countries. As the
main force of this war, all the siege weapons were being closely guarded.
Every siege weapon was surrounded with three layers of soldiers and, in each layer, more than ten soldiers were
stationed. Every one of them was armed with a sharp sword and each was fully concentrated. The slight wind made
their whole body shake.
In the camp of the Lan Yue Dynasty, Qu Xun looked at the group of siege weapons under his own hands, and the
expression within his eyes was somewhat distorted.
During this time, the Lan Yue Dynasty had dispatched more than 300 siege weapons. In the previous battles, Qu
Xun’s troops did not know which God of Plague they had provoked, but not only had they suffered the most
casualties, their losses (in terms of siege weapons) were also quite heavy.
