"These are 500 city-guarding ballistae and 5,000 steel arrows. Distribute them. When the Evil Spirit race arrives, we'll let these foreign races have a taste of being slaughtered!"
Although Xiao Chen's words carried a hint of a smile, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. 500 city-guarding ballistae and 5,000 steel arrows. Each arrow was 10 feet long and as thick as a baby's arm. If they pierced through a person's body, how many people would be able to survive?
These were the ballistae used to defend a city, and they were extremely powerful. Even a cultivator who had just entered the Blood Refinement realm would be in danger of dying if they were not careful. 500 city-guarding ballistae and steel arrows were fired at the same time. Which soldier would be able to withstand it? At this moment, they could not help but mourn for the Evil Spirit race.
This batch of city-guarding ballistae was all that the Gu Yuan Tribe's craftsmen had accumulated over the past year. In the past, the Gu Yuan Tribe had been weak, and the tribe had been unable to produce such large-scale weapons. After Xiao Chen became the tribe leader, the tribe had abundant resources. They hunted ferocious beasts every day and collected countless ore veins. These resources had long been transformed into true weapons of war under Xiao Chen's instructions, becoming the Gu Yuan Tribe's foundation.
This time, Xiao Chen had specially brought these 500 city-guarding ballistae with him. However, the Blood race did not have the chance to enjoy the feast of steel arrows piercing through flesh.
The 500 city-guarding ballistae and 5,000 steel arrows piled up into a small mountain. Even though everyone knew that Xiao Chen had a treasure that could store items, their hearts could not help but tremble at this moment. Just what grade was this storage artifact that could store items in such a huge space?
"Distribute the 500 city-guarding ballistae and tell the warriors in the tribe that when the Evil Spirit race's soldiers enter the valley, aim the ballistae at the decarchs and centurions and kill them ruthlessly to disrupt their formation. I want to see how these stragglers of the Evil Spirit race will break through the Gu Yuan Tribe's defenses without the command of a low-level centurion!"
The six chiliarchs had no time to be overjoyed. They summoned the soldiers under their command and distributed the ballistae. At this moment, they seemed to have already thought of the bloody disaster that the Evil Spirit Centurion had caused.
"Pass down the orders. Have the clan's youths hide themselves well. According to Hall Master Tie, there should be three late stage Blood Refining Realm martial artists in the Evil Spirit race. Adding on the two middle stage Blood Refining Realm martial artists whose identities are unknown, they only have one less Blood Refining Realm martial artist than us. However, Hall Master Tie is currently heavily injured, and his strength is not even 80% of his peak state. Even so, he is still not someone an early stage Blood Refining Realm martial artist can compare to."
Xiao Chen looked at the busy tribe's soldiers on both sides of the valley and softly said to the elder beside him, "The Evil Spirit race has five early stage Blood Refining Realm martial artists. On our side, Magpie Feng, Meng Yue, Lin Yue, Xiao Lin, and Xi Ming are also early stage Blood Refining Realm martial artists. The number of mid and late stage Blood Refining Realm martial artists is also about the same. In terms of high-end combat strength, we are evenly matched. However, our Gu Yuan Tribe has 11 Two-Star Savage Beasts, which are comparable to human Blood Refining Realm martial artists. With the cooperation of the war chariots and mounts, I believe it will not be a problem for us to take down our opponents!"
The bronze war chariot was an unparalleled killing weapon on the battlefield. Not only that, but in a one-on-one battle, martial artists could also use the war chariot to unleash several times the strength of their opponents and easily crush their opponents.
Only by knowing one's own strength and one's own strength could one win a hundred battles. Only by clearly analyzing the strength of the enemy and oneself could one devise strategies. At this moment, Xiao Chen displayed all the strength of the Evil Spirit race and his own side. The true victory or defeat would be in the battle against the high-end combat strength of the tribe.
He had taken out the 500 giant ballistae to reduce the casualties of the tribe's warriors. After all, these 6,000 soldiers were the elites selected from the more than 100,000 tribesmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe. If too many of them died, it would be very difficult for the tribe to replenish them. Furthermore, he could not bear to lose so many tribesmen for a mere foreign race.
During the previous battle with the Blood Race in the valley, if not for the fact that the valley entrance was narrow and the Blood Race had set up defensive measures at the valley entrance, these giant ballistae would have lost the initiative. However, this valley was different. The 500 giant ballistae were enough to turn these 4,000 Evil Spirit soldiers into a slaughterhouse.
At this moment, everyone once again received the order. Just as they were about to go down and arrange for the tribe's soldiers to hide, Xiao Chen once again spoke up to stop them. A cold killing intent once again emerged from his mouth. "However, how can the warriors of my Gu Yuan Tribe be compared to these beasts!"
"Tribe Leader!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled once again. They looked at Xiao Chen in confusion.
Xiao Chen waved his hand again, and several black shadows descended. Each shadow was about three meters tall, and there was a huge bronze base below them. On one side of the giant ballistae was a huge turntable. There were some patterns carved on the turntable, but no one knew what they meant. Black beast tendons, as thick as an adult's arm, were wrapped around the top of the crossbow. There was a huge groove where the giant ballistae's turntable and the arrow launching mechanism were connected.
On the side were 10 giant arrows that were at least 15 meters long. The arrows sparkled with dazzling stars. These arrows were actually made of mid-grade Star Iron.
What!?
Xiao Chen took out several more ballistae. These were bronze ballistae that were several times larger than the five hundred ballistae used to defend the city. The ballistae used to defend the city earlier were already enough to cause a cultivator who had just broken through to the Blood Refinement Realm to lose his life in a moment of carelessness. As for a centurion, it could be said that he would die just by touching it. Could these bronze ballistae be …
Thinking of this, everyone could not help but look at Xiao Chen. It was as if they were waiting for him to take out new weapons from his storage space.
"Tribe Leader, this is …?"
"I obtained these six bronze giant ballistae by chance. They have been repaired by the tribe's craftsmen. Although some of the materials used are substitutes, their power is still not something that an ordinary Blood Refining realm cultivator can withstand. These giant ballistae are powered by source stones, but their recoil is extremely powerful. A centurion would find it difficult to fire two arrows at once. But today, as long as one of these giant ballistae is fired, it will be enough to give us the advantage in battle!"
These six bronze giant ballistae had been brought out by Xiao Chen from the underground ruins of the Purple Snake War Division. However, after 10,000 years of corrosion, coupled with the fact that many precious materials and ores could not be found, the tribe's craftsmen had only managed to repair nine of these ballistae. Although their power was not as great as 10,000 years ago, mid Blood Refining realm cultivators would find it difficult to defeat them. He had left three of these ballistae in the tribe, and brought these six here.
"If these six giant ballistae are used properly, they can pierce through mid Blood Refining realm cultivators. However, they are somewhat powerless against late Blood Refining realm cultivators. Thus, these six bronze giant ballistae will be used by a few elders and chiliarchs who have reached the mid Blood Refining realm and above. I will also use one. When the Evil Spirit Tribe's chiliarchs enter the valley, we will kill all the cultivators below the mid Blood Refining realm in one fell swoop. As for the remaining late Blood Refining realm cultivators, we will slowly deal with them!"
Seeing the killing intent flashing in Xiao Chen's eyes and the faint smile on his lips, everyone could not help but have the same thought.
"Lord Tribe Leader, do you want to completely destroy the Evil Spirit Tribe!?"
