C697 Falling Blade Cliff to Block the Attack



C697 Falling Blade Cliff to Block the Attack

0The sun rises from the east, and it's a new day. When the sun shone on the earth, the sky was filled with fluttering snow. After a night of rest, the Barbarian Clan's Trooper Lord Ator came out from the thick and warm wool carpet. He lit a pot of dry smoke for himself and walked out of the tent. Recently, the food supply in the army had become more and more scarce. This was something that anyone with discerning eyes could see. After all, from a few days ago, the Flamehead Army had stopped preparing breakfast for the soldiers. There had also been soldiers who had expressed their protest in the Firehead Army, but the answer they got was that this was an order personally issued by Great General Saltus.

Ator patted the bulging storage bag on his waist. It was filled with all kinds of gold, silver, and treasures. Roughly estimated, it was about a thousand spirit stone. This was not a small amount. It was enough for anyone to squander their entire life without spending a large amount of money. And these treasures were plundered from a rich family not long ago. But now, what made him feel uncomfortable was that even if he had a large sum of money, he was still unable to buy food from nearby. In fact, he had been fighting all the way from Profound Gate Pass, killing and robbing along the way. All the military officers in the Barbarian Army were extremely rich. But so what? The nearby residents had long been scared away by their actions. Those rich families who had stored grain in their homes would rather burn the grain in their homes than hand it over to the army of the Barbarian Clan.    

    

Ator took a deep breath of smoke. The strong smell of smoke stimulated his nerves. But it made him feel even hungrier in his stomach. He couldn't help but look at the back of Falling Blade Cliff. As long as his troops could break through here... Behind Falling Blade Cliff was an endless supply of rich resources. Moreover, he could directly attack Dragon Tooth Mountain from Falling Blade Cliff. Along the way, there wouldn't be any more dangerous terrain. The Barbarian Army would be able to ride their horses to the south. Until they reached the capital of the Great Wei, they would not encounter any obstacles.    

    

However, for some reason, Ator suddenly saw something hanging next to the pass in the middle of Falling Blade Cliff. He was puzzled and continued to walk forward, trying to see what it was. But when he saw the real face of the figure hanging in the air, he couldn't help but feel scared. The cigarette in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Ator quickly ran to the back. His destination was the tent in the middle of the camp.    

    

Ator pushed open the curtain at the entrance of the tent and rushed in. He bumped into a person who came out of the tent. However, Ator did not panic. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. He said, "Great General, so you are still here. I thought..."    

    

Ator said and raised his head. The remaining words in his mouth were stuck in his throat. He said in a daze, "Hu Lie, why are you here?"    

    

Standing in front of Ator was another big bearded man. He was looking at ___ with doubt. When he saw Ator's expression, Hu Lie, who was also a Trooper Lord, asked curiously, "I am here to look for the Great General. Have you seen the Great General?"    

    

Hu Lie's words made Ator's pupils shrink. He immediately stood up and took Hu Lie's hand and ran towards the Falling Blade Cliff. Although Hu Lie was puzzled, he also followed after seeing Ator's flustered look.    

    

In front of Falling Blade Cliff, Hu Lie followed the direction Ator was pointing at and looked towards the top of Falling Blade Cliff. However, he saw a horrifying scene. In the narrow pass in the Falling Blade Cliff, there was a rope tied to both sides. Someone was tied to the rope with his hands behind his back. There was also a thick iron chain on his body.    

    

Hu Lie fixed his eyes on that person. Although that person's mouth was blocked, he could still tell that the person tied up in the air was not their Great General, Saltus. Who could it be?    

    

"Great General, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I'll save you right away."    

    

The impatient Hu Lie said. He circulated the Spiritual Force and flew towards Saltus. However, in midair, Saltus kept shaking his head with an anxious expression. He made some sounds, but no one could hear what he was saying. Hu Lie did not think too much about it. Soon, he came to Saltus's side.    

    

He stretched out his hand and tried to undo the chains on Saltus's body. But those chains were engraved with strange inscriptions, flickering with a strange light.    

    

A piercing sound was heard. Hu Lie was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. He discovered that it was a crossbow arrow flying from below. Because it was dozens of meters high in the sky and there was a huge wind blowing. Generally speaking, after the arrow flew to this distance, the power attached to it would be greatly weakened. Hu Lie was very confident in his heart. He condensed a shield on the surface of his body with the Spiritual Force. He prepared to receive this arrow.    

    

However, something unexpected happened. The arrow easily pierced through his shield, which could withstand the full force attack of a Third Stage warrior. The arrow pierced through his chin into his head, and the tip of the arrow drilled out from the top of his head.    

    

Hu Lie had an expression of disbelief on his face, but the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he fell to the ground.    

    

On the ground, Ning Ziwei patted the weapon in his hand with satisfaction. Although it looked ordinary, it still looked ordinary. However, if it was a cultivator, they would be able to see that the arrow was emitting a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Force. He said with satisfaction, "The first big fish has been fished up. Mr Yang's prediction is as good as divine."    

    

After saying that, Ning Ziwei walked forward and rummaged through Hu Lie's body. He said excitedly, "I didn't expect it to be a Trooper Lord. Looks like I've made a fortune this time. A General and a Trooper Lord. An officer of this level. If it was an ordinary soldier, it could be directly promoted to a captain!"    

    

"What?! It's actually a Trooper Lord? That's an official who leads 10,000 people!"    

    

When Tan Lang, who was standing behind Ning Ziwei, heard this, he excitedly walked forward and sized up Hu Lie, who was already dead and whose corpse had gradually become stiff. He could not help but sigh with emotion.    

    

Ning Ziwei instantly burst into laughter and said, "This is a great contribution. Mr Yang is really the lucky star of Profound Gate Pass. Not only did he capture the General of Barbarian Clan as soon as he arrived, but he also solved our grain problem. Moreover, his scheme also helped us kill a Trooper Lord. This time, the barbarian troops are in trouble. "    

    

Ning Ziwei said and turned to look at the military camp behind him. The head of the fire! Smoke was rising from the military camp. It was the food that Yang Xuan had brought from Lo Capital that night. Although it was just a simple egg porridge, for the soldiers who haven't had a full meal for a few days, it's the most delicious food in the world.    

    

Ning Ziwei grabbed Hu Lie's collar with one hand and turned to Tan Lang, saying, "General Tan Lang, you'll be watching from here. I'll bring this Trooper Lord's corpse back first."
