CHAPTER 1376: CHAPTER 604: THE GREAT BATTLE! SECRET WEAPON OF SLAUGHTER!

The distance from the Silver Tribe to the Flame Demon Tribe exceeds five hundred miles!

A hundred and twenty thousand troops set out, which, in the history of the Silver Alliance, is probably a first.

Even within this million square kilometer area under the Black Demon Flag, such large-scale wars are rare.

The Southern Barbaric Lands see battles nearly every day, but most are conflicts between tribes. A war between different races like this has not occurred in the Black Demon Flag area for nearly a century.

The march of the hundred and twenty thousand troops was truly magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Along the way, even the most powerful monsters hid in caves, trembling, not daring to appear.

Within ten miles of the army, all birds and beasts were almost nonexistent, fearing a complete disaster.

The hundred and twenty thousand troops stretched over more than ten miles on the road.

...

On the twenty-ninth day, the Silver Allied Army was two hundred and ninety miles from the Flame Demon Tribe.

On the thirtieth day, the Silver Allied Army was one hundred and fifty miles from the Flame Demon Tribe.

On the thirty-first day, the Silver Allied Army was ten miles from the Flame Demon Tribe!

On this day, Lanling had not yet returned!

On this day, all the members of the Flame Demon Tribe stopped working. The most elite troops donned armor, and the next most elite troops put on leather armor!

With a population of fifty thousand, the Flame Demon Tribe had a full twenty thousand troops!

These twenty thousand troops, all mounted the seven-mile-long city walls!

The remaining thirty thousand people also picked up crude weapons, preparing for battle behind the city walls!

All the giant crossbows were fully installed, polished over and over, with every joint coated in thick grease.

All the lime bombs, all the arrows, were already placed where they should be.

Countless fish oil bombs had been placed in the subterranean storerooms filled with water.

Everyone was waiting for the start of the battle!

Everyone in the Flame Demon Tribe knew that Chief Lanling had gone to seek reinforcements, and it was an incredibly powerful reinforcement.

However, Suo Mo repeatedly emphasized not to rely on reinforcements, but to rely on themselves and the sharp blades in their hands, on the giant crossbows, giant catapults, fish oil bombs, and lime bombs designed by Chief Lanling!

Suo Mo constantly stressed that the secret weapons invented and designed by Lanling were to make everyone in the Flame Demon Tribe clearly feel that even if Lanling was not there, he was still influencing the war.

Nightfall arrived!

Ten miles away, the hundred and twenty-thousand-strong army of the Silver Alliance rested and set up camp!

Everyone knew the battle would break out at dawn the next day!

...

Lanling still had not returned!

So, was Lanling truly unable to make it?

No, on the fifteenth day Lanling had already gained the allegiance of the entire Xie Li Tribe and led the army northward.

A distance of nearly five thousand miles could be covered by the Centaur Legion in less than ten days!

Seven days ago, Lanling had already reached the eastern coast corresponding to the Flame Demon Tribe and went into hiding in the fissures of the great earth, waiting for the war to commence!

He was not trying to stage a last-minute king’s return but to temper the Flame Demon Tribe’s army.

Not every battle could be fought by Lanling alone, as this would prevent the army from ever improving or becoming stronger.

In the last great war, Lanling used the Mirror Demon King’s mental trap to annihilate over twenty thousand of Konstantin’s allied forces, single-handedly determining the outcome.

That was out of necessity because the Flame Demon Tribe only had a thousand troops back then, too weak.

Now, the Flame Demon Tribe has a full twenty thousand strong, with seven miles of city walls, perfectly capable of holding their own.

Only an army forged in blood and fire will become strong.

Additionally, Lanling wanted to verify the effectiveness of the giant crossbows, giant catapults, fish oil bombs, and lime bombs in the battles of the Southern Barbaric Lands.

...

On the thirty-second day, Lanling still had not returned!

First light just broke!

The entire Flame Demon Tribe heard the horns sound in the distance.

Then, the ground began to subtly tremble.

The hundred and twenty thousand-strong army of the Silver Alliance began to break camp, their uniform steps creating tremors that could be heard even miles away!

At this moment, Suo Mo still held the little girl, meticulously braiding her hair.

The little girl curiously watched the goat milk on the table, quivering rhythmically.

Dina looked up and glanced over.

"No rush, there’s plenty of time," Suo Mo said.

Then, he continued braiding the little girl’s hair.

After finishing the braid, the family calmly finished their breakfast!

Then, Suo Mo put on his golden silk armor, covering it with an additional layer of steel armor!

Subsequently, he grabbed his sword, patrolling every camp behind the city walls, every storeroom for supplies, every militia position.

Lastly, he climbed the city walls, inspecting every part of the fortifications.

Every squad’s armor, bows, and arrows!

Two hours later, the sun rose!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The gigantic sound of the army’s footsteps became distinctly audible.

Suddenly, in an instant...

The two thousand defenders on the city wall opened their eyes wide, their breath caught.

The enemy’s hundred and twenty thousand-strong allied army had appeared!

The hundred and twenty thousand troops, like an enormous monstrous beast, gradually revealed its imposing presence.

The black mass of troops emerged from the valley ahead, constantly pressing closer!

Soon, they directly entered the territory of the Flame Demon Tribe, reaching the foot of Mirror Mountain!

No mental traps!

At the mountain’s base, the hundred and twenty thousand strong Silver Alliance army began to change formation, from a column to a line!
