Chapter 255: Chapter 157: Re-entering the Dragon Tomb, Steamrolling Through

"Shen Xing, I’m almost at the entrance to your territory."

Shen Xing replied, "Okay, just come straight in."

He put down the crystal and looked into the distance. A unique legion was approaching through the Fog.

Over two hundred Light Elves marched in formation, their bodies shimmering with white light. When gathered together, they cast a glow that illuminated an even wider area than a level-eight Horse Lantern.

At the very front of the column, a young woman in a white dress with a vacant gaze held a Horse Lantern, feeling her way forward.

Beside her followed a Light Knight who stood over two meters tall.

He was clad in a full suit of white battle armor and wielded a Spear of Light. He even had a Light Tail Braid on his head.

Shen Xing’s eyes lit up slightly. ’Xia Wanyin’s Hero seems to have gotten even cooler,’ he thought.

’In terms of looks alone, he could give my Hei a run for his money.’

’But Hei is a Mutant Knight who has mastered both the Power of Death and the Power of Black Moon. His coolness factor is who knows how many levels higher than this Light Knight’s. That’s one win for me.’

’The Black Knight has a horse, the Light Knight doesn’t. That’s two wins for me.’

’The Black Knight... I can’t make up any more reasons.’

’Anyway, I win!’

"Wow! Shen Xing, are you planning to bring this many soldier types this time!?"

Xia Wanyin’s eyes were closed, but she could sense the thousand-plus auras around her, a look of amazement on her face.

"Yeah, I wanted to be extra prepared, just in case anything unexpected happens."

"Ah... but I only brought a little over two hundred soldiers..." Xia Wanyin said, looking at him apologetically.

"Don’t worry, it’s more than enough." Shen Xing smiled. "Bringing too many troops isn’t always a good thing. Otherwise, just transporting them would take up half the day."

"I see..." the girl in the white dress nodded in understanding.

Shen Xing retracted his gaze and surveyed his surroundings, issuing an order: "Everyone, prepare to move out."

"Except for mobile soldier types like the Wolf Cavalry, the Black Moon Knight Order, and the Inferior Demons, all other ground units will take the Transport Vehicles."

"If one trip isn’t enough, make several. Hei and Blood Roar, you two are in charge of escorting the convoy."

"Yes, Lord!" the commanders chorused.

The commanders chorused their assent and immediately set things in motion.

Next, as was his custom, Shen Xing leaped onto the Horned Eagle’s back. Reina and Xia Wanyin naturally joined him at his side.

"Alright, Fried Chicken, take us to the Black Heaven’s Wings Mountain Range."

"SCREECH!"

With a long cry, Fried Chicken rapidly beat its wings and soared into the sky.

The Horse Lantern was lit, and the Fog receded.

A streak of Dark Gold light carrying the three on its back swiftly plunged into the dense Fog.

Below, the cavalry and Inferior Demons began their mighty advance, guided by the Black Arrow.

Blood Roar and Hei, each on their mounts, stood at the city gate giving orders.

"Hellfires, Skeleton Archers, and the Beastman Squads."

"You’re in the first transport group. Get on board!"

Beside them, the bay doors of three Hell War Chariots opened, like a giant metal beast spreading its wings.

Dozens of Hellfires were the first to clamber inside.

Because their bodies were so large, they took up all 100 unit slots inside the chariot.

Under normal circumstances, given the volume of a Hell War Chariot, it could carry at most three or four Hellfires.

But this was Hell Technology. It had a special troop transport space inside capable of holding more soldier types.

Of course, if the chariot were destroyed while in transit, the passengers inside would also suffer a certain amount of damage, or even die.

Once all three chariots were full, their engines started.

"RUMBLE..."

The ground trembled as three jets of eerie green Hellfire erupted from the rear of the chariots.

"Move out!"

At Blood Roar’s command, the three Hell War Chariots shot forward like frenzied metal beasts, covering dozens of meters in an instant and plunging into the Fog.

Hei and Blood Roar, each on their mounts and carrying Horse Lanterns, escorted them from either side.

The massive Hell War Chariots traversed the complex terrain of the black earth as if it were flat ground.

Their wheels rolled over pitted mud and across jagged piles of rock without the slightest hindrance.

When they encountered large pits, they simply activated their flame jets to leap right over them.

Spewing tongues of flame, the three Hell War Chariots advanced toward the Black Heaven Mountain Range at incredible speed.

...

...

「One hour later.」

Deep within the Black Heaven’s Wings Mountain Range, at the bottom of a canyon hundreds of meters deep.

Shen Xing sat in his wheelchair, waiting at the entrance of the Dragon Tomb with Reina and the others.

Beside him, the first wave of troops was already in position.

Over a hundred Inferior Demons and the Black Moon Knight Order were arranged in two square formations.

Several hundred Beastmen and Skeleton Archers waited in the rear.

By now, half of the territory’s forces had been transported.

The three Hell War Chariots were highly efficient, capable of reaching speeds of 60 kilometers per hour even on this mountainous terrain.

’The number of chariots still isn’t quite enough. I’ll have to build more.’

’Later on, when we travel to more distant places or fight in larger-scale battles, we’ll need a large number of chariots to increase our mobility.’

Shen Xing mused for a moment, then looked at his troops. "All units, clear out this rubble so we can get through later."

The Beastmen immediately sprang into action, clearing away the piles of debris blocking the entrance to reveal a wide opening.

After finishing this task, they resumed their wait.

「One hour later.」

Suddenly, everyone sensed something and looked up.

At the edge of the canyon, an eerie green light flickered.

Three Hell War Chariots were making their way down along the steep rock face.

Their eight wheels rose and fell, demonstrating extremely strong grip and shock absorption.

Soon, the chariots arrived steadily at the bottom and stopped before the Lord.

"HSSSSS—"

With a puff of hot air, the bay doors opened once more.

Several hundred green-skinned potatoes came tumbling out.

Under the command of Hellish Roar and Blood Roar, the final batch of Beastmen also fell into formation.
