He was not really afraid earlier. But looking back now, Ling Feng felt like his legs turned soft.
What if the evolution failed, wouldn't the two of them have to shatter to pieces?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Under that sort of situation, did we still have other choices? The one coming over earlier was a half-step Divine Lord fiend race powerhouse!"
Ling Feng opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Indeed, this was the best way.
Most importantly, they won the gamble!
However, this guy in front of him looked young, without the slightest experience. But when doing things, he was really crazy!
Perhaps it was precisely because of so that he would think of joining the human race army, right?
"But … even if you have the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, how did you do it?" Ling Feng said in surprise.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When I saw the fiend race's flying boat earlier, I was thinking about this problem. This natural chasm's gravitational field is so strong, for them to be able to overcome the natural chasm, they definitely made use of this gravitational field! So I was thinking, if I created a gravitational field too, I can use this gravitational field to produce a repulsive force or not, and I'll be able to suspend in the air! Heh, trying it out, it's indeed like so! Presumably, aboard the fiend race's flying boat, they definitely created a gravitational field too, that's how it let them be able to fly across the natural chasm!"
Ling Feng stared with his mouth agape from listening. This guy was simply a genius!
The fiend race used no idea how many years before coming up with this method. But it was cracked by Ye Yuan in a second.
It was simple to say, but achieving it was absolutely not an easy thing.
This natural chasm's gravitational field was too strong. Wanting to neutralize this forcefield could not be accomplished by casually creating a flying boat with a forcefield.
A little bit off and it could only be the outcome of the boat being destroyed and people perishing in the end.
If not for so, the fiend race also would not use so many years to research such a small-scale flying boat.
For Ye Yuan to be able to do this was because his control over the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood had long reached the degree of superlative heights already.
During the process of falling, Ye Yuan had been adjusting the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood's gravitational field all along, attempting to reach a state of equilibrium with the natural chasm's gravitational field.
In-between this, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was still evolving crazily. To be able to achieve this in a short several breaths of time was simply inconceivable.
Seeing Ling Feng's expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, it's getting late. Let's circ.u.mvent this section before going up, don't walk right into the trap. Oh, right, Captain Ling, this matter of the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, hope that Captain Ling keeps it secret for me."
Ling Feng froze and immediately nodded his head.
This Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood evolving to divine rank two was a rather powerful treasure. It could even become one of Ye Yuan's trump cards.
This kind of thing, Ye Yuan was naturally unwilling to let others know.
He and Ye Yuan were just casual acquaintances and were not considered to have a very deep friendship. For Ye Yuan to willingly save his life was already not easy.
After all, under this kind of circ.u.mstances, an additional person was an additional point of risk.
Chapter 1466 - Jealous of the Righteous and Envious of the Strong
Being a very long impregnable pass, Tiderain City was built against a mountain, very grand.
That city wall was just like a gate, keeping the fiend race great army out of the gates for millions of years.
The fiend race was warlike. Ever since the rise of Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, this Tiderain City became one of the important battlegrounds of the human and fiend, two races.
Eminent Orchid Imperial City had once sent out several Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, attempting to take Tiderain City by storm.
River Eternal Imperial City's side was not willing to show weakness either, similarly sending out several Divine Lord Realm powerhouses to deal with the enemy.
That battle fought until the heavens turned dark and the earth dimmed, virtually collapsing Tiderain City.
In the end, both sides sustained great losses.
Those dozen over Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were almost completely annihilated.
Ever since then, Eminent Orchid Imperial City did not dare to take Tiderain City by storm again but placed the focal points of the war along other lines.
In these several million years, Eminent Orchid Imperial City and River Eternal Imperial City both had victories and defeats, but neither could do anything to the other.
Because the other cities along the other borders were all exceedingly deep. Once the fiend race launched an attack, it was very easy to face enemies from the front and rear.
Even if they could occasionally defeat the humans, they would be repelled by the human race's human wave tactic very soon too.
Only this Tiderain City that once breached, the fiend race army would be able to push forward unopposed, going straight for River Eternal Imperial City, was the most important.
Therefore, even after so many years, the fiend race had never given up on the idea of attacking Tiderain City.
Flying across the Fiend Calling Ridge was an ingenious military move. It could directly cross Tiderain City's southern city wall, directly assaulting Tiderain City's northern side.
In contrast to the southern city walls' countless array formations reinforcing, the northern city walls were undoubtedly much weaker.
Once an army suddenly appeared from nowhere and the ambush worked, Tiderain City would surely be breached!
Along the way, Zhao Bin directly shook off the others, urging divine essence to the limits, rushing back to Tiderain City.
"Quickly open the city gates! Quickly open the city gates! I'm Zhao Bin under Centurion Zong Tao's command, quickly open the city gates!" Zhao Bin shouted at the top of his voice, using all of his strength to shout at the city wall.
Creak …
The city gates opened. Zhao Bin used all the strength in his body to rush in.
"Zhao Bin, why did you come back alone? Where are the rest? You're fl.u.s.tered and panicky, what happened?" A figure came up to greet as he said rather unhappily.
Zhao Bin froze and said, "Centurion! Things are bad! The fiend race army used no idea what kind of method and are charging over from the Fiend Calling Ridge's natural chasm that side!"
This person was precisely Zong Tao, Ling Feng's squad's centurion.
Under Zong Tao, Ling Feng's strength was the strongest, his military achievements also the most impressive. He could break through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse at any time and threaten the centurion position of Zong Tao's.
Therefore, he had always been wary of Ling Feng.
Zhao Tao's brows furrowed and he said, "What nonsense are you saying? How can the fiend race come over from that side?"
Zhao Bin said anxiously, "Lord Centurion, it's absolutely true! We ran into five fiend race squads. Their captain said it personally!"
But Zong Tao still did not believe and said, "The fiend race is cunning, what they said, you believe it too? Also, if you all really encountered five squads, how did you escape?"
Zhao Bin could not help choking up as he said, "It might … it might have been some passing-through human senior who saved us! Lord Centurion, what I said is absolutely true!"
Seeing that Zong Tao did not believe him, Zhao Bin was anxious until he was rent with restlessness.
He also knew that Zong Tao was not fond of their squad. It was just that he did not expect that the moment he entered the city gates, the person he met was Zong Tao.
Zong Tao frowned and said, "Fine, then I'll ask you, how did the fiend race come over from th
e natural chasm? How many people in total came over? Who is leading the team?"
Zhao Bin utterly collapsed, how would he know?
"Lord Centurion, Captain has already gone to investigate the intel and might be able to rush back in a while! At that time, he'll have detailed information to send back. But the military situation is urgent, this matter must be reported and request the great general to make a final decision!" Zhao Bin said.
But Zong Tao was relentless and said furiously, "Zhao Bin, are you done or not? You guys went to patrol and didn't find any news, and came back to talk rubbish! What if this is a rumor deliberately spread by the fiends, intentionally baiting us to set up a defense at the northern city gates, but they storm in from the southern city gates? Who'll shoulder this responsibility? Mn? You shoulder it or me?"
Zhao Bin was thoroughly deflated. He was rendered speechless by Zong Tao.
Putting it bluntly, Zong Tao did not want to bear this responsibility.
After all, it was not that incidents of the fiend race sneaking into the Fiend Calling Ridge this region never happened before.
Hence, the moment Zong Tao heard it, he felt that this was not reliable.
After all, crossing the natural chasm, this sort of thing, was too fantastical.
Plus, Zong Tao was biased against Ling Feng's squad to begin with. He was even less willing to report this matter under the circ.u.mstances where there was no conclusive proof.
"What are you all arguing about? What happened?"
Just as Zhao Bin was at a loss on what to do, an awe-inspiring voice sounded out.
The moment Zong Tao heard, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Commander Wang, nothing much. This subordinate is too negligent in doing things, I was just lecturing him!"
Zhao Bin was just about to speak when Zong Tao shot him a fierce look. Clearly, he was threatening him.
Commander Wang nodded his head and said, "Mn, the patrol here is done, you all go to the southern city then. Recently, the fiend race had unusual activities. It seems like the army has already finished assembling and they are prepared to launch an attack on the southern city."
Finished talking, Commander Wang was just about to turn around to leave.
Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and yelled out, "Lord Commander, this soldier has an important military intel to report!"
"Shut up! How dare you be insolent in front of Lord Commander?!"
Zong Tao did not think that this guy actually dared to disobey his orders and directly threw a kick over.
How could Zhao Bin be Zong Tao's match? He was directly kicked flying by him with a foot, spouting out a mouthful of blood with a cough.
Commander Wang's brows furrowed and he said, "What's going on?"
Zong Tao was just about to speak, but Zhao Bin ignored his injuries and screamed at the top of his lungs: "The fiend race … the fiend race passed through Fiend Calling Ridge's natural moat and has already assembled a great army, wanting to ambush Tiderain City from the northern city!"
Zong Tao's expression changed and he said, "Lord Commander, don't listen to him talk rubbish! This matter is yet to be verified!"
Commander Wang's expression similarly turned grim and he said in a solemn voice, "Just what the hell is the situation, let him finish!"
...
Ye Yuan two people made a long detour and finally slowly flew up the cliff.
Along the way, Ling Feng had a feeling like he was dreaming.
The Heavenspan World's Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to fly at all. This feeling of suspending in the air was wondrous to the extreme.
He had never thought that he would actually be able to fly in the air one day.
"Younger Brother Ye, it's really all thanks to you this time that I was snatched from the jaws of death! I, Old Ling, owe you a life!" Ling Feng said.
"Huhu, Captain Ling is too courteous. You all defend Tiderain City to the death, protecting millions of humans behind you, how many lives do they owe you? It's precisely because there was your shedding of blood on the battlefield that the other people can live and work in peace," Ye Yuan smiled and said.
Ling Feng's face blushed from what Ye Yuan said, somewhat embarrassed.
Under the pressure of the fiend race, they had no choice but to resist.
Not resisting was death!
"Younger Brother, Ye, what should we do now?"
Ling Feng unknowingly already relied on Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was able and resourceful, bold and meticulous. He actually had a sense of security beside Ye Yuan1.
A hint of a smile flashed across Ye Yuan's mouth and he said, "Our way back has probably already been cut off! Why not … we deal a thrust to the back, how's that?" Would have totally been a harem flag if Ling Feng was a girl.
Chapter 1467 - Thrusting a Spear to the Back!
At the main camp of the fiend race's army, when Great General Sandcliff saw the message, his face was grim to the extreme.
"Xiu Lie this fool, to actually fail to even handle this minor thing! For the sake of this battle today, Eminent Orchid Imperial City has prepared for as long as several decades! I said that he can't take on this heavy responsibility, but His Excellency wouldn't listen! Ahhhhhh, infuriating this old man to death!" Sandcliff roared.
The subordinates were all silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to say anything.
Great General Sandcliff would suddenly turn hostile and pretend not to know old friends in his rage.
"Great General, now that it played out like this, we can only attack by force! Fortunately, the tail over there has already been dealt with cleanly. The army will go over from Fiend Calling Ridge unceasingly. The north city's defense is much weaker than the south city. As long as we can tie down sufficient military strength, we can breach the city all the same!"
The one talking was Sandcliff's most trusted army advisor. At this time, only he dared to speak.
Sandcliff snorted coldly and said, "This damn fool, after capturing the city, Your Father will definitely show him some colors! Pass orders to the army, immediately attack the city!"
"Yes!"
The moment the generals heard, they immediately accepted the order and left.
...
At the same time, inside Tiderain City's City Lord Manor, Commander Wang and Great General Guo Changmin were currently listening to Zhao Bin's military report.
Zhao Bin endured his injuries and recounted what he saw and heard in the forest once more, then kept quiet.
Guo Changmin was as steady as a mountain, without joy nor sorrow. Musing for a moment after he heard the report, he asked Wang Yifeng, "How do you view this matter?"
Wang Yifeng had clearly long pondered over it already and immediately said, "Zong Tao's words are also not unreasonable. The fiend race has always been cunning. We've suffered quite a bit of loss before too. Not ruling out the possibility that they deliberately want to disperse our military strength. But … I feel that it's necessary to be on guard!"
Hearing this, Zhao Bin also heaved a sigh in relief.
Guo Changmin slowly said, "This matter, wait until that Ling Feng comes back before talking. If the intel is true, Yifeng, your Third Army will temporarily organize a defense for south city and strengthen south city's defenses!"
Wang Yifeng answered, "Yes!"
Right then, there was a subordinate who came to report again, "Great General, a large group of fiend race army suddenly appeared outside the city and are already sieging the walls!"
Came so quickly!
Hearing this news, the faces of everyone including Guo Changming all changed drastically.
The fiend race army's appearance was too sudden. They did not receive any news at all!
Guo Changmin said in a solemn voice, "How many people are there?"
That subordinate said, "A large dense swarm; too many to count! Preliminary estimates are no lesser than 300 thousand people no matter what!"
Hiss …
Everyone all s.u.c.k.e.d in a br
eath of cold air.
An army on the scale of 300 thousand people, this kind of battle had not happened for a long time.
Looks like this time, the fiend race came prepared!
There were only 80 thousand elites in Tiderain City, but the fiend race had at least 300 thousand people. This was bound to be a dreadful battle!
"Pass down the orders, all legions are to immediately await orders to defend the enemy from the city! Yifeng, your legion will divide out half of its troops and garrison north city! Immediately send people to Kangding City and request for reinforcements …"
Although Guo Changmin was shocked, he did not panic. One order after another was issued out.
...
Fiend Calling Ridge, by the cliff, Xiu Lie left behind a hundred-man team to receive the fiend race army coming from the back.
"Really saw ghosts! I heard that Eminent Orchid Imperial City spent a huge price in order to craft these flying boats, transferring over a hundred pieces of magnetic divine stones from other imperial cities at a king's ransom! Originally thought that we can directly capture Tiderain City with an army suddenly appearing out of nowhere. I didn't expect to get off on the wrong foot, to actually be detected by the humans!"
"You didn't see Lord Xiu Lie's expression, it was simply going to kill people!"
"If it were me, I would also want to kill people! After Tiderain City is captured, Lord Xiu Lie can't dispense with suffering Lord Sandcliff's criticizing and ridiculing."
"I can't understand until now, just who Mu Feng they all encountered, to actually have not a single one escape!"
...
Two fiend race captains were currently chatting away, very puzzled by the leaking of the intel.
The originally seamless plan actually failed miserably at a simple task. How could it not make people depressed?
At this time, a figure suddenly slowly walked out and said with a slight smile on his face, "Looks like you all are very interested. Why not … I'll tell you guys!"
Those fiend soldiers were all suddenly startled awake, greatly astonished by a human's appearance.
That centurion's brows furrowed, feeling that this person before his eyes was rather familiar.
