Chapter 397: Progress

Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh

A great-scale town was surrounded by four hills, on all four sides. This was the biggest stronghold of the humankind in this Evil Dragon Bay area, and was also the location of the base camp of the human army in this area.

On the over a thousand meters tall city wall, which was covered in thick metal plates, Si Wen Ming sat in between two battlements, with his head raised, and was looking at the brightly sparkling stars in the sky. Those incalculable stars had been moving along the track that hadn’t changed since the beginning of the world. Dense streams of visible star power looked like multicolored water streams, pouring down from the sky, lightening up the dark night.

Ji Hao stood next to Si Wen Ming, also looking at the stars in the sky.

As the magic formation pattern he borrowed from Yu Yu had covered the entire Evil Dragon Bay area, Ji Hao could now clearly sense the existence of every single stream of starlight. Even the slightest stream of starlight contained immeasurable mysteriousness; earth power, water power, fire power, wind power, lightning power, ice power… so many different types of power were contained in these star power streams. Those were all great, primitive, prehistoric and original natural powers.

Showering under these star power streams, Ji Hao accepted the sense of eternality given by the star powers, suddenly feeling his own existence to be so tiny.

The city wall that Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming were staying on was on the northern side of the town. From time to time, human warriors, whose bodies were all covered in blood, would rush staggering back, sitting directly down on the ground, leaning against the city wall, resting while gasping quickly for air.

The north side of the city was now shrouded by raging flames, that seemed to even surge to the sky. Qian Family’s main army was now less than five-hundred miles from here. More towns were broken one after another. Inside those towns, human condemned prisoner slave warriors had been fighting desperately against those elite warriors of the Qian Family.

The Qian Family was like a greedy beast, a powerful, violent evil dragon. To catch such a giant monster, one had to prepare enough baits, which had to be made from fresh blood. With these bloody baits, they would walk right into the trap, step by step.

Except for the few towns that Ji Hao had abandoned earlier, in those larger scale towns, which were broken later than the first five towns, different numbers of condemned prisoner slave warriors were arranged to perish together with the non-humankind warriors and slave warriors. All those condemned prisoner slave warriors were under the control of a special magic to make them never feel fear; they wouldn’t run or surrender, only fighting till they died.

Only after true, bloody and brutal battles, the Qian Family would actually believe that this wasn’t a trap.

Huaxu Lie and Lie Mountain Kang were standing quite far away from Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming. Their trusted deputy commanders had been rushing over from all directions every now and then, bringing the latest report from every battlefield, including if the Di Family had shown the sign of any unexpected moves, the current situation of all human army forces in the Evil Dragon Bay area, and if the other Yu Clan family stationed in surrounding area of the Evil Dragon Bay had any unusual moves. All information was gathering over timely.

Ji Hao headed down, turned his eyes away from stars in the sky, to the north side.

This town was the core of the magic sword formation that he borrowed from Yu Yu. Centered here, and within the area of radius three-hundred miles, Ji Hao could take the greatest control of the magic sword formation. If this distance went more than three-hundred miles, with Ji Hao’s current power, he was unable to manipulate the four violent, fierce swords to attack enemies more than three-hundred miles away.

They had paid such a big price and spent so many efforts, for the sole purpose, that was making the Qian Family’s army forces all gather here under this city wall, and letting Ji Hao activate the magic sword formation and exterminate them all at once.

It was highly possible that the Qian Family’s main army forces wouldn’t all gather in here; consequently, the magic sword formation wouldn’t be able to wipe them out all at once. Some elite forces would flee around, therefore, only by drawing them deeply into the Evil Dragon Bay, where human warriors were ready to ambush everywhere, would the human army have a chance to encircle them and make them all stay in Evil Dragon Bay, in perpetuity.

Also because some Magi Palace elders were not sure about the actual power of this magic sword formation, which was ‘borrowed from an old friend by Candle Dragon Gui’, Si Wen Ming and the other few high-level commanders of the human army had set a second, third, fourth, and even more ambushes around this town. All in all, the ultimate purpose of this whole thing was to make the Qian Family’s army forces stay here in this Evil Dragon Bay forever.
