Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 85 Burning Camp

Originally, they wielded sharp blades and wore heavy armor to effectively protect themselves and reduce damage in battle.

But now their heavy armor and crossbows have become a burden, and the lightning-fast wolves surround them, ready to bite at any moment. Their slow movements have made them easy targets.

Although the thick armor protects the neck and other joints, making it difficult for wolves to bite, if attacked by two or three wolves, the victim will eventually be torn to pieces.

The soldiers ravaged by the fire wheels were also hampered by their heavy armor. Their slow movements trapped them in the flames. Even though they used their internal energy to protect themselves from the fire, making it difficult for them to die immediately, their armor, scorching hot from the flames, became iron cages that baked them alive.

Some unfortunate soldiers were crushed and roasted to a crisp by the massive fireball.

The more astute soldiers removed their armor before fleeing and quickly escaped to the flanks.

The raging fire quickly engulfed the entire military camp, and the wolves also retreated under the tyranny of the fire, leaving behind nearly a thousand wolf carcasses and thousands of torn-up soldiers' corpses that were consumed by the flames.

A massive fire wiped out nearly 10,000 people, along with the vast majority of their supplies and equipment.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before gradually being extinguished. This was mainly because the supply corps had cut down all the trees and weeds within fifty feet of the camp, preventing the fire from spreading. Otherwise, the entire Wild Wolf Valley would probably have become a sea of ​​fire, and everything would have been burned to ashes.

In the end, of the tens of thousands of troops, only about half of the soldiers escaped, but they were all ordinary soldiers who had lost their armor and were completely incapacitated.

Although the generals and their guards escaped the wolf attacks and fires, they could not escape the ambush by the falcons that had been waiting at the crossroads.

Those generals who had just escaped the fiery pit and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath were suddenly killed by a ghostly figure that appeared from behind them.

Most of these generals and guards were at the fourth or fifth level of the Earth Rank, with the higher ones only reaching the sixth or seventh level. Even the temporary general had only just reached the ninth level of the Earth Rank, and they were all ambushed while exhausted and panicked.

Furthermore, the assassins who ambushed them were all at the fifth or sixth level of the Earth Rank, and their overall combat capabilities were already higher than theirs. Therefore, it was no surprise that most of the guards and generals were no match for them even in a head-on battle, and were killed in one blow.

Even those with slightly higher strength, though able to retaliate somewhat when ambushed, were exhausted and killed in a few blows.

Despite the arduous journey, the general, who was at the peak of the Earth Rank, was not physically affected, as he did not need to personally handle the physical labor.

What dealt him the biggest blow was the continuous setbacks his troops suffered along the way, culminating in the complete annihilation of the army.

What he found most unbearable was that the other party was just a child, and it was obvious that they had set a trap for him to fall into.

The feeling of being mocked was the biggest blow to him. Now he wanted nothing more than to grind the other person to dust! However, he also realized that he could never avenge this grudge in this lifetime.

He sensed something was wrong as soon as the Falcon team attacked and quickly reacted to prepare to fight back, but his opponent was not one of the Falcon team members, but rather an old man in brown, whom he had met once before.

Faced with a Heavenly Realm expert far stronger than him, even if he was arrogant, he did not have the confidence to fight him, and he did not even dare to think of running away.

He still vividly remembers the punch that old man threw the day before yesterday; that level of attack power was something he could never resist.

The general was decisive. After realizing that the situation was hopeless, he sighed deeply, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Master Shui, and then slapped himself on the forehead, ending his own life.

After completely destroying the Marquis's supply train, Mo Yuming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew that his long preparations, the mobilization of all his manpower and resources, and the enormous cost had finally paid off. The crisis in Jian'an City was essentially over. Even if there were still some bloodshed and sacrifices, they would not be a serious injury; they would only make him stronger.

After the fire was completely extinguished, Mo Yuming ordered the Falcon Team to clean up the battlefield.

Although most of the military supplies were destroyed by the fire, ordinary fire could not burn items such as magic crystal cannons and magic-breaking arrows made of special materials, and some advanced armor also had fireproof features.

Mo Yuming's city has only recently been established, and military supplies are scarce. These supplies are exactly what they urgently need.

Many crossbows and powerful bows are made of high-quality metal materials, so they won't be damaged by fire. Even if some vulnerable parts are burned, they can be salvaged and repaired and used again, which is much more cost-effective than spending a lot of money to buy new ones.

Furthermore, this is the army of a marquis, and the soldiers are equipped with standard weapons of a relatively high standard, which are much better than the swords and knives used by ordinary people. Apart from the flammable parts such as the scabbard and handle, the blades of these weapons will basically not be damaged in this ordinary firewood.

Therefore, if we retrieve and repair them, we could have a large stockpile of military supplies. This is the equipment of tens of thousands of people; even if most of it is lost, the gains would still be substantial.

"Young Master, how did you command that wolf king to attack the military camp? As far as I know, although those wolves are fierce, they also know how to avoid danger. Under normal circumstances, they would encounter such a powerful army."

They basically stay far away, let alone launch a sneak attack!

While everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, Su Ce, who was standing next to Mo Yuming out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

The boy beside him, who was more than ten years younger than him, could not only command armies in battle, but also predict the future.

Everything was arranged before the battle even began, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.

The step-by-step plan to annihilate the enemy was meticulously crafted and flawlessly executed.

Even the timing was calculated with such precision.

What's even more amazing is that he can not only command armies in battle, but also summon magical beasts to help him.

He was very familiar with the wolves in Wolf Valley. Although they were numerous, they were of low rank and usually only attacked lone humans or those with weak martial arts skills. They rarely attacked organized armed groups, let alone an army of tens of thousands of people.

Although they are not very intelligent, they are still ferocious magical beasts.

Another characteristic of magical beasts is that their sense of smell and alertness are far superior to those of humans. They can sense the presence of danger from a great distance and will avoid it as soon as they are alert.

Such proactive attack forces are simply impossible unless someone is controlling and commanding them.

If this person is not the young master himself, then he is a highly skilled subordinate of his.

"Actually, I don't need to command the wolf king to do anything. As long as I deal with magical beasts for a long time, I will understand some of their characteristics, such as their living habits, hunting habits, and their combat abilities, etc."

Once you understand their nature and characteristics, you'll have the opportunity to approach them and, through certain means, get them to do things for you.

Mo Yuming smiled and said, "If someone who has spent half his life dealing with wild animals can't even figure out the habits of these most common wild animals, then he has truly wasted his life."
