Chapter 1857: Chapter 885: The Tiger Leaves the Mountain (Diversion) (Part 2)

Slaughter Divine Power infusion!

Khan Yamun hasn’t completely returned, but his Slaughter Divine Power has already come back, infused massively into the bodies of those Killing Vajra Lamas. One by one, the Killing Vajra Giants roared and launched a counterattack against the four Elemental Armies.

With Khan Yamun present, the situation swiftly reversed by 180 degrees, and soon the four Elemental Armies were hammered apart.

As for the instigators of the four Elemental Armies, the Haslan Witches, they collectively retreated in the first half-minute of Khan Yamun’s attack.

They understood well that without the support of a large army, even summoning the Elemental Army was merely a harassment tactic against the Tukan People, causing casualties ranging from several thousand to up to tens of thousands.

The Tukan People are not fools; they won’t foolishly stay put, waiting for the Elemental Armies to slaughter them.

The true significance of this raid lay in warning Khan Yamun, urging him not to easily leave his troops. The Laiserman Kingdom has not completely ignored them and would move in again as soon as vigilance slackened.

Khan Yamun was furious, yet powerless.

Compared to the Laiserman Kingdom, an old-established kingdom, the foundation of the Tukan People was ultimately too shallow. While he could, with his formidable power, assemble enough Tukan People in a short time, he couldn’t quickly muster a considerable number of top-tier powerhouses.

Especially since he hasn’t fully mastered the Slaughter Divine Power to become a true Divine Residence, unable to elevate his Chosen or Divine Envoys.

Simple Slaughter Power infusion, after all, remained somewhat weak.

Originally hoping to borrow some strength from the homeland of Felen, from the former God of Slaughter Bal’s old base, who would’ve thought that his predecessor, unfortunately, suffered from the God of Tyranny Bane’s betrayal during The Year of Upheaval, with his assassin believers taking massive losses?

So far, those who have pledged allegiance are few and not of significant use, without a single top-tier powerhouse to show.

It’s not necessarily the case they’re extinct; it’s likely they remain in a state of observation.

If he were to gain significant power on the Felen Continent, showing signs of surging momentum, they would undoubtedly surface to pledge allegiance.

But now, with his forces severely weakened and losses mounting, they’re less inclined to swear loyalty, fearing being swept away if he suffered a downfall.

“Batumihe,” Khan Yamun said sternly.

“Here,” responded the top vanguard of the Tukan Army.

“Immediately lead thirty thousand vanguard troops, persistently harassing that War Chariot Legion along the way. There’s no need to annihilate them, merely keep slowing and obstructing them, preventing them from executing their plan.” Although Khan Yamun was unclear about the actual battle strategy of the War Chariot Legion, it was certainly related to hindering their raid on Tavelan.

The key to the conflict in The Eastern Desolation now hinges on Tavelan.

If the Felen Allied Forces land in Tavelan before the Tukan Army, the Tukan Army would be like fish in a barrel—once a large-scale defeat occurs, downfall becomes a matter of time.

Conversely, the Felen Allied Forces would be forced to change their landing direction, perhaps to the Great Valley or Aglarond; regardless of which, the war would be dragged into overtime, with the outcome again becoming uncertain.

“Understood,” General Batumihe responded loudly.

A unit of Light Cavalry broke away from the Tukan Army, heading north, swiftly locating the conspicuous Tarthan Road across the wilderness.

Even as enemies, General Batumihe couldn’t help but admire their road construction capabilities, unmatched even in the Soaring Dragon Empire, where it was said all roads in the Empire’s capital were paved with stone bricks.

He had to admit, their road-building prowess was a perfect match for their War Chariot Legion.

In an area without roads, even beasts pulling chariots, larger than average, would move at a snail’s pace.

Given their Light Cavalry’s mobility, they should reach them in no time.

However, with the road in place, the mobility advantage vanishes, and by the time they arrive, the War Chariot Legion would have disappeared. According to reports from the Tukan Eagle Knights above, the War Chariot Legion had outrun them by at least twenty kilometers, diagonally cutting into the Golden Road, making a rapid advance toward the City of Temel, 150 kilometers away.

They’re likely planning to fortify the city, delaying the Tukan Army’s advance and buying time for the Felen Allied Forces.

“Halt.” Just as the Tukan Vanguard Army was about to step onto the smooth Tarthan Road, General Batumihe, atop his warhorse, stretched out and signaled for a complete halt.

The airborne Giant Eagle Messenger immediately relayed the command, and the Tukan Vanguard Army, numbering more than thirty thousand, divided into three distinct Armies of Ten Thousand, promptly came to a stop.

“Send the Hyenas ahead to scout the road.” General Batumihe quickly issued a new command.

The Jackal Vanguard Army promptly responded, releasing a group of over a thousand Hyenas, barking loudly as they rushed forward, stepping onto Tarthan Road.

General Batumihe’s vanguard troops were divided into three Armies of Ten Thousand, each constituted differently.

The central Army of Ten Thousand was formed purely of Tukan People, adept in mounted archery.
