“Wu Tie Yu stopped?” Tang Tian had a shocked expression, “Is he injured?”
“Nope.” Huo Tian Hai was Huo Ma Er’s little brother, after Hua Ma Er left, he was in charge of seeking information. Wu Tie Yu had no intention of hiding himself, “Although Kang De had made him suffer some setbacks, he seemed to have some breakthrough, thus he did not advance, but stopped.”
(Huo Ma Er is the Fire Wolf Tribe’s number one warrior, for those who don’t remember)
“Another breakthrough.” Tang Tian fondled his chin, deep in thoughts.
Ling Xu said frustratedly, “Regardless of whether he broke through or not, I’ll stab him to death in one shot!”
“That’s right!” Tang Tian clapped his hands, “Stab him to death stab him to death! Indeed Little Xu Xu knows me best!”
Huo Tian Hai spluttered, and dared not speak up, although both of them were extremely powerful, but their brains, seemed to be a tad too simple-minded. While the only wise person, Master Crane, was in closed meditation.
Huo Tian Hai’s attention was attracted by the shouts from afar, he looked enviously at the practising martial artists. Those martial artists were the tribe’s elites, now they were gathered together to receive proper training.
The formation of the troops unknowingly had another indescribable aura.
Huo Tian Hai was somewhat peeved, if not for his elder sister being out on duty, he would have been one of those training there too.
These “lazy useless poor quality cannon fodder” in the eyes of Bing, were receiving Tang Yi’s training. Tang Yi was a Gold ranked Staff Sergeant, who had solid foundations in basic battle techniques. Bing went to re-arrange these “cannon fodder” not just because of his compulsive occupational disease, for he has no intention of wasting his time on these “cannon fodder”, his hopes were pinned on the future mechanical army. After a few attempts of grooming, he would be like a picky customer, and throw the poor tasting food aside, to Tang Yi.
He had never thought that the results would be unexpectedly good.
Although Tang Yi was not as experienced as Bing, he was not in the least negligent in his orders of duties. This fellow was impartial and incorruptible, second to none, all the soldiers in the tribe were extremely fearful of him. His low intelligence, made him an exceptional stick-in-the-mud, but he was the most ideal to deal with these greenhorns with no training.
In just a few days, they seemed to have already grown a lot.
Suddenly, a scout sprinted towards this side, Huo Tian Hai bolted up, and grimly asked, “What’s the situation?”
“Kang De’s underling is escaping towards us, he’s being chased by two people.” The scout hurriedly reported, “Kang De’s [Silver Moon] should be in the hands of this person!”
Huo Tian Hai was instantly moved, [Silver Moon] was the most prized inheritance of Lupus Constellation, but he did not act boldly, “What’s the background of the chasers?”
“I don’t know.” The scout shook his head, “But they are powerful.”
Suddenly, there was a rush of hooves clattering.
Another scout ran in, carrying an unconscious and injured lad, the scout was covered in perspiration, but he looked extremely excited, and shouted from afar, “He collapsed near me, so I just picked him up.”
Mao Jun and An Bai were depressed, they had never imagined that they would lose their prized possession so narrowly.
The lad had actually lost consciousness at the foot of the scout of the Fire Wolf Tribe, and they had underestimated the speed of the scout’s horse. Both of them had never been to the desert, and knew little about the desert tribes. The desert tribes were good at training horses, their speed was amazing, and they have outstanding stamina. The horses given to the scouts were the cream of the crop.
The Fire Wolf Tribe trained a horse species called Flaming Steps Horse, level six Star Spirit Beasts, which were extremely great at sprints.
Especially when they sprinted with all their might, they were like a dash of angry flame.
“Seems like we have reached their base.” Mao Jun was extremely upset, he saw tents built up everywhere, and the scout just now had slipped in there.
An Bai was extremely annoyed too, “These fellows are too much! How dare they abduct the person right under our noses!”
“Let’s go.” Mao Jun shouted, upon seeing An Bai’s face of unwillingness, “Don’t tell me you still want to abduct the person?”
An Bai had an idea, “Let’s sneak in tonight. If we run into Tang Tian and gang, then we’ll escape.”
Mao Jun thought that it was a great idea, both of them were extremely confident in their abilities. if they slipped in tonight, even if they did not manage to abduct the person, they could still scout for information.
None of them realized that Tang Yi who was training far away, had spotted them.
Tang Yi was simple-minded, upon seeing those two, he realized that they were enemies, and without hesitation, he directed his troops to move stealthily towards them. After these days of training, these soldiers had already understood teamwork.
Two troops, outlining two arcs, quietly closed in towards the two from their backs.
When they were around 600m away from them, Mao Jun and An Bai were instantly alerted.
At the change of situation, without hesitation, Tang Yi bellowed, “Kill!”
Charge!
The two troops charged towards the two of them like two arcs of flame, the Flaming Steps Horse instantly entered the sprint mode. The soft sand dunes did not have any impact on the horses, these martial artists have grown up on the desert, and they were very familiar with the terrain.
But such sudden attacks made everyone hyped up.
Tang Yi waved the Zanbato in his hands.
“Assault!”
The martial artists behind him deftly adjusted their positions, luckily they did not forget the training they had received these days. In the blink of an eye, a perfect triangular formation, appeared behind Tang Yi. About 15m behind them, there were also two other similar triangular formations, layering and changing.
When Tang Yi rushed to about 150m away from the enemies, the entire troops, had already completed their formations.
Although Bing did not care about these “cannon fodder”, but due to his perfectionism and occupational disease, he still created a few simple battle formations for the “cannon fodder”. These formations were based on the blueprints of Southern Cross Army’s fundamental battle formations, after some alterations, they became more suited for these desert-grown martial artists.
Tang Yi had no doubts about Bing’s orders, and thoroughly carried out these formations.
An Bai and Mao Jun’s expressions changed.
Army!
Damn, in this unholy place, they actually faced an army!
The wave of impact was overpowering, and the two were scared out of their wits. Such structure, such training, other than armies, what are they?
Both their first thoughts were, they were duped!
Who said that this task would be easy, like a leisure trip? Who said that this task was a given? When they receive their task, their master had not mentioned a word about an army! If they had known of the army’s existence, they would never have accepted the task, regardless of the money!
When armies are involved, even the strongest bounty hunters, would exercise caution!
Tang Yi’s face was stern without wrinkles, his squinted eyes, flashed, as a Golden Staff Sergeant, he was the cream of the crop in the entire army’s sergeants. Although the battle methods changed, but the Recruit Camp has given him the same feeling.
In the process of sprinting, he continuously used his breathing and positioning, to guide these greenhorns.
Without him, these greenhorns who just started training, would never be able to create such a big impact!
The Zanbato which was as big as a door, was raised up high, like a battle flag waved in the air!
“Kill!”
Tang Yi bellowed, and struck with his Zanbato.
The martial artists behind him, echoed with gusto, “Kill!”
The escaping An Bai, suddenly felt that a brilliant flash lit up behind him, and was drained of colour, without thinking, he bolted out sideways!
A brilliant cold flash grazed past his body, and disappeared into the sand dunes about 9m away, behind it, was an oddly coloured flash, raining like droplets, into the sand dunes.
Boom!
An Bai felt his vision blacked out, half the sand dune exploded into the sky, like a sandstorm, even the sun was obscured!
The rain of yellow sand struck him, and it was peculiarly painful.
The colour was drained from An Bai’s face, he had only one thought in his mind.
Oh my god, run!
Another flash, came howling from behind, but this time, there was no giant flash, no terrifying aura. He did not dare to stop, armed with a small silver shield, he threw it backwards.
Scutum Constellation’s Silver Treasure, [Silver Ray Shield].
The small shield evolved into a nearly 9m tall silver ray shield, and shielded behind An Bai.
Bang bang bang!
The rays from the blade rained down on the shield, the shield shook violently, but it did not shatter right away. A continuous three streams of attack rained down, before the shield shattered.
Another troop, waved the flash of blade towards Mao Jun, and he dodged around madly. The flashes of blade rained down towards him, and Mao Jun was in an utterly embarrassed state, with his clothes torn and tattered.
He did not dare to stop, for once the enemy got hold of him, he would surely die.
Tang Yi on the horseback was expressionless. Such an ending, in his viewpoint, was too horrible to look at.
According to Southern Cross Army’s standards, this Lupus Army was obviously a failure. In Southern Cross Army, each of these battle units, would have a commander leading the main attack, and guide others to attack. While his position now, should have been taken by a more ferocious and stronger commander.
Tang Yi bellowed, “Follow close!”
The small troop behind him, instantly stuck to him like super glue, and followed closely.
An Bai and Mao Jun, were both escaping wildly, faces ashen, and wished they had more legs. They were the Heaven list’s experts no doubt, but when faced with armies with professional tactical units, they had no chance of winning.
Just that… … when did Lupus Constellation have an army?
An Army has high expenses, a bottomless pit, the key is, even if there’s money, it is difficult to form an army. Because tactical people are rare, these few years, the tactical experts in excellent mercenary armies, were all deemed as treasures.
To be able to organize a thirty people tactic, such tacticians were highly expensive.
To think that there was actually an army here… … and they even seemed well-trained!
The duo who were escaping wildly did not notice, that they were unknowingly, headed towards a direction. They were scared out of their wits, thinking that enemies are everywhere!
Tang Yi’s gaze was fixated on them, in his eyes, the fleeing duo gradually formed two lines, and crossed at a point.
The Zanbato which was dragged behind him trembled and whined, the blurry rays of blade started lighting up.
The martial artists behind Tang Yi, unanimously felt the cold battle will transmitted by the captain, and they unanimously followed in Tang Yi’s rhythm to muster their True Power, and unanimously dragged their blades behind!
The reason why tacticians were precious, was because tacticians could use their breathing and martial spirit, to guide the attacking rhythm of the troops, to amass the troops’ power.
Tang Yi, was a Golden Staff Sergeant!
His face cold and stoic, his long eyes squinted, the intersection point became clearer in his eyes, the gently trembling and humming Zanbato, seemed to thirst, his wrists gently shook, and the master level blade technique, was executed!
The martial artists behind, their True Power all ready, as though gently flicked, without thinking, they all executed the blade techniques together.
All the rays unite as one, the blade shone like the moon, and there was dead silence!
