Chapter 151 The Strongest Bloodline
When Zhuang Yu arrived, the students who were performing also noticed, after all, those twelve big iron rods were too eye-catching.
However, the students didn't stop their performance and continued, showing their professionalism.
The whole camp was filled with their intense singing, "Unyielding beneath the enemy's iron hoof, we are the brave people of the alliance..."
Their singing was so inspiring that many alliance soldiers relied on these stirring songs to support their battles.
Zhuang Yu chatted with Shao Hao for a while. Shao Hao seemed to have matured a lot and was no longer the same as before, but his bear-like companion was still silly. When Zhuang Yu arrived, it sneaked into the camp with an empty bamboo tube, trying to get some sweet water from Zhuang Yu.
It hadn't had its favorite sweet water for a long time because of the recent fights.
Originally, Zhuang Yu and Shao Hao were staying in a tent in the camp, but this bear-like creature directly lifted the entire tent open, blinked its eyes at the two, looking innocent, as if asking why they were hiding and not making sweet water for it.
Its big innocent eyes were so innocent.
Zhuang Yu didn't have any sugar to make honey water for it now. When the bear-like creature left, it kept looking back pitifully, so next time, Zhuang Yu would prepare two big bamboo tubes, or it would drink all the water too quickly.
Zhuang Yu: "..."
It's said that a person's character is carved out by their own beasts, and Zhuang Yu couldn't imagine what it would be like when Shao Hao became like this.
Shao Hao shrugged, he definitely wasn't like this.
After the students' performance was over, a group of students surrounded them.
Now most of them belonged to the tribes of Crimson Great City. Except for the students from White Great City and Dark Great City, they could be said to be students of Crimson Great City. There were no longer students from Crimson Great City's own tribe or marginal tribes, which made these students feel closer to each other.
Zhuang Yu looked at the group of students who had obviously grown a lot. Their faces seemed to have become more determined. They finally understood the importance of their mission that Zhuang Yu had mentioned.
These days, they had seen too many warriors who showed pain because of the war.
Perhaps these warriors were very ordinary, so ordinary that no one else cared.
But their mission was to comfort the minds of these warriors, so they understood better than anyone else.
If it weren't for their singing, if it weren't for their continuous establishment of firm beliefs for these warriors, the entire army would probably be affected by such an atmosphere, and then what's the point of fighting?
It turned out that war was not just about the competition of strength, this was the most important lesson the school had taught them.
Also, seeing too many farewells and separations on the battlefield had made them grow inside.
After a while of talking, Zhuang Yu arranged for the students to set up the twelve iron rods.
Because they had bows themselves, to make use of the advantages of the bows, their camp was set up in a higher place, like a mountain.
This mountain had fewer trees, which made it easier for marching.
The twelve iron rods were indeed very large. When they were set up, they were even taller than those hundred-meter giant trees.
On a mountain, if you didn't look carefully, it would seem like some bare tree trunks suddenly appeared.
Although the students didn't understand, they already knew the value of knowledge.
It took a day or two to set up these rods, and then they waited slowly.
During the wait, Zhuang Yu pulled the soldiers who were assigned the iron bucket armor together and began training.
Because once the thunder technique of Red Great City was launched, if they still rushed forward regardless, they would be in trouble.
Among the people responsible for guarding the alliance, there were representatives from each force, but the people from Crimson Great City were definitely the most effective because they all had telescopes hanging on their chests.
This thing isn't easy to make, the craftsmanship is quite complex, so except for some kept for use in Crimson Great City itself, all the others were distributed here to the tribes in Crimson Earth City responsible for guarding and gathering intelligence.
Ant and Feng Wen were handed one telescope each, and it seemed like they were taking turns playing with them, but they actually had their own tasks; they were also responsible for guarding.
Other forces looked at these good things with envy. In the past, only the White Pupil War Tribe could do such things, but now, with the help of a magical tool, everyone could see far away like the White Pupil War Tribe.
The role of the White Pupil War Tribe on the battlefield was unquestionable, and it was all thanks to Red Great City cutting off their hands and feet that they forcibly exterminated one of their own war tribes.
With the telescope, the alliance could fight and retreat, it can be said that if they didn't seize the initiative with this thing, they probably wouldn't have resisted until now, and would have collapsed long ago under the attacks of Red Great City.
People from other forces would definitely ask what this thing was, but the people from Crimson Great City kept it tightly covered. This was a good thing, and they didn't have much of it in Crimson Great City; it was extremely precious.
Of course, as an alliance, they couldn't always refuse others to see. A group of students even remembered to promote, "This is the power of knowledge."
The magical things in the school had spread throughout the entire alliance, even people from Cyan Great City came over, "After the war, we will also send a group of students to the school to study."
Now, there was no one from Cyan Great City in the school.
Every time they heard others boasting in front of them, saying how many children from their tribes were studying in Crimson Great City's school, and how much they had learned, the people from Cyan Great City looked very depressed.
As for the requests from Cyan Great City, Zhuang Yu couldn't refuse them. The admission criteria were the same as for other forces.
So far, it could be estimated that apart from Red Great City, each force had sent a group of people to the school to study.
The calm time passed day by day. Although it seemed calm, those responsible for gathering intelligence and guarding never dared to stop their work.
Even Ant, Feng Wen, and a few little radishes climbed to high places every day with their telescopes, constantly patrolling. Having the advantage of being able to foresee things was their advantage, which had to be fully utilized.
After a few more days, the imperial clans of the alliance began to arrive one after another.
With the imperial clans joining the war, it could be said that this war was pushed to its highest point, which was related to the life and death of all forces.
Before long, scouts reported that the imperial clan of Red Great City had also arrived.
Under the calm surface, the storm was about to break out.
Zhuang Yu, Shao Hao, and the leaders of the alliance also began to feel nervous.
If the alliance couldn't resist, they might really collapse completely. Because their stationed location had reached the point of no retreat, behind them were several mountains used to make weapons. If they retreated, it would mean handing over the ore to the other side, and they would be unable to replenish their weapons continuously.
They were very clear about the consequences. Without these weapons, it also meant their inevitable defeat.
So, they couldn't fight and retreat like before. They must hold their ground here.
Several leaders of the alliance began to arrange defenses. The terrain here was quite good, and they had some advantages in guarding here.
"Swear to death, no retreat." Everyone's face showed determination, and the importance of this battle was beyond doubt.
The sky, rarely dark and heavy, seemed to have changed color for this major battle.
In the tense atmosphere, a scout came in a panic to report, "The large army of Red Great City is pressing towards us."
Finally...has it begun?
All the leaders nodded and began to take charge of their respective defense works.
Shao Hao also went out with a spear. He needed to set an example for all the warriors and charge at the forefront.
Zhuang Yu chose a high ground, and a group of students followed closely, their faces pale because they knew this battle was different from before. In the past, if they couldn't win, they could retreat, but now they couldn't.
The black color of the sky lowered even more, as if a pair of big hands were pressing on everyone's chest, making it hard to breathe.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Before the enemy's army could be seen, the earth trembled with the sound of marching, like a collective trampling of the earth.
Scouts kept coming to report, "The enemy is getting closer. It seems they want to trap us on the mountain."
It seemed that Red Great City was also ready to go all-in, wanting to use this battle to lay the foundation for their victory.
It could also be seen that they had extremely strong confidence.
Red Great City's army had appeared in sight.
Countless massive beasts, with people from Red Great City standing on them, advanced towards this side like a flood, stretching endlessly, with no end in sight.
The eyes were filled with enemies, and the momentum was as overwhelming as waves crashing, shaking people's hearts.
Even Zhuang Yu clenched his fists. It was impossible not to be nervous.
This could be considered the largest-scale war on earth.
The faces of the students were also somewhat lifeless. Faced with such enemies, could they really win? But regardless, they must do their best to resist because once they failed, their homes, their friends might be gone.
They had never hated war so much, but they were not afraid of it either.
Only death.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The sound of trampling on the earth grew louder and louder, even drowning out all other sounds.
The endless beasts kept advancing.
Zhuang Yu looked up, and he didn't know when the sky had become filled with black clouds.
Actually, there was no need to look up because the black clouds had formed a vast area, clearly visible above the huge army of Red Great City. Anyone could see it clearly.
The huge black clouds blocked the sun in the sky, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
The shadow, with Red Great City's movement, was approaching this side.
Zhuang Yu thought to himself, is it starting?
"Boom!"
Finally, another deafening sound rang out, this time from the alliance's side.
It was a stone wall, rising majestically from the ground like the Great Wall, towering in the direction of Red Great City's advance.
The continuous stone wall, its thickness unknown, formed a moat.
The spectacular scene left people speechless. This was definitely not something that individual strength could accomplish. Sure enough, among the alliance's army, a group of people had their palms pressed against the ground, and their meridians were exposed due to exerting too much force.
United technique, this was a technique formed by the power of countless people.
At this moment, calling them gods was not an exaggeration. Such a grand scene, even Zhuang Yu saw it for the first time. Individual strength had no effect before this.
Red Great City's army finally stopped in front of the continuous Great Wall.
On the side of the alliance, countless people raised their bows. As long as the other side broke through, they would enter their range.
But after so many battles, Red Great City almost figured out the characteristics of these annoying bows. The army stopped just outside the shooting range.
The people of the alliance couldn't help but be stunned. In the past, Red Great City had always rolled over without stopping. How could this...?
Zhuang Yu looked up. Although Red Great City's army had stopped, the black clouds in the sky were moving towards this side.
"Boom!"
A white light streaked across the sky and descended from the black clouds.
It fell on the towering Great Wall, causing the stone wall to crack and explode, sending soil flying.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The thunder did not stop, continuously bombarding, seemingly wanting to directly blast open the towering wall.
And they did it. The stone wall kept crumbling, shattered like ruins, and the sky was covered in a layer of ash.
The thunder didn't stop, bombing towards the alliance's camp, leaving deep craters on the ground.
Was this the strongest bloodline art on land? Under this bloodline art, it seemed that the entire earth would be shattered.
In the alliance, countless people were shocked and forgot everything. In the face of Red Great City's bloodline art, they appeared so weak and vulnerable. Could they really withstand it?
Besides the deafening thunder, there was nothing else in their ears, and their eyes were filled with white light.
Each white light falling would leave a huge crater on the ground, followed by dust and the earth splitting apart.
Zhuang Yu's hands unknowingly tightened, his eyes fixed without blinking. As the thunder approached, whether his arrangement was effective or not, it would be seen now. Either they would be bombed to pieces under the thunder, or a turning point that would reverse the entire battle would appear.
