"Ha, haha, hahaha!" Ji Xia carried the heavy long spear, his body wrapped in a raging fire. He was ready to start a massacre.
But abruptly, he saw those warriors standing on the stairs, looking at the hundreds of meters distance between the stairs and the city wall. Ji Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud. He clenched his fingers in the air and sent streams of fire power into his palm. Within a blink of an eye, a bowl-sized, crimson thunderbolt emerged along with a deep buzzing noise.
Flicking his fingers, Ji Xia released a thunderous bang. The thunderbolt was coiled by nine thin dragon silhouettes and bumped into a stairway at lightning speed. Raging flames exploded. Countless extremely thin thunderbolts flickered and refracted rapidly in the flames. Tens of warriors of the allied forces on the top of the stairway were scorched by the thunderbolts and fire, falling to the ground from the high stairway while howling.
Yi Di and the other archers laughed out loud as well. They pulled open their bows and released a wave of arrows at the warriors standing on the stairs, who were stuck on the stairs.
Over a hundred meters away, not to mention these Eastern Wasteland archers, even Yu Mu, who was usually the most difficult one among them, was laughing out loud, holding a longbow and shooting accurately at the enemies on the stairway in a row, not to mention these Eastern Wasteland archers, who had amazing archery skills.
A large number of arrows flew down from the city wall, and the allied soldiers on the stairway fell to the ground like raindrops. Large ripples quickly appeared in the moat below, and the tentacles of giant demon octopuses wriggled up from the water, dragging the fallen allied soldiers into the depths of the moat.
Finally, some warriors couldn't restrain the fear and anger in their hearts anymore. They gripped shields with their left hands and carried long blades with their right hands. They growled hoarsely while fighting against the rain of arrows and leaped up from the stairs with all their powers, attempting to reach the top of the city wall.
The stairs were about a hundred meters away from the top of Yao Mountain City. At the moment, the top of the stairs was tens of meters lower than the top of the city wall.
Normally, even a slightly stronger human warrior could easily cover this distance. But under the suppression of the heaven and earth great formation, even a Divine-Magus-level powerful being couldn't leap up to the top of the city wall.
Large groups of warriors leaped into the air, roaring and leaping over a distance of seventy to eighty meters. When they were still thirty to fifty meters away from the top of the city wall, and about ten meters away from the top of the city wall, the momentum of their leaping was exhausted. Waving their arms and legs, they fell down from the sky.
In the moat, countless Giant Octopuses were wriggling their limbs happily. Before they could even fall into the moat, they had already wrapped themselves around their bodies.
Gong Sun Lang, who was supervising the battle, stared at the stairway, which was suddenly shortened, and couldn't say a word for a long while.
This kind of stairway was designed especially for the Chi Ban Mountain defensive line. The original purpose of this kind of stairway was to launch a counterattack against the encampments and forts of the humankind after the non-humankind had occupied those encampments and forts of the humankind under the effect of the anti-air magic formation set up by the non-humankind.
The Chi Ban Mountain area was steep and majestic, and any random cliff could be over ten-thousand zhang tall. Therefore, the ladders in these ladders should be at least five-thousand zhang long, long enough to easily cross the moat and reach the top of the city wall of Yao Mountain City.
"Why so short? These … These stairways are only five-thousand meters long at most! "Gong Sun Lang screamed hysterically," Why are they so short? How can they be so short? How can I attack the city? What should I do? "
A senior deacon from the Gong Sun Family sneakily put his mouth near Gong Sun Lang's ear and murmured, "Lord Lang, Lord Xiong specially 'processed' these ladders before we set off... Eh, these ladders are made from essence metals, and they're forged over ten-thousand times with a secret method. They're hard, tenacious, and highly resistant to magic. They're expensive to make!"
Licking his lips, this Gong Sun Family stealthily chuckled and continued, "Minister Xiong took a big half of these stairways … Isn't this a cost-saving measure? Minister Xiong is going to sell these stairways to those large human families and clans in the future … When they buy these stairways and find that the stairways are not long enough, Minister Xiong can charge them more money! "
"My brother … You're not my brother, you're my father!" Gong Sun Lang helplessly sighed. Looking at the thousands of stairways floating in the air and the warriors falling from the stairways like raindrops, he abruptly grabbed the Gong Sun Family stealthily and said, "Tell my brother, I want at least thirty percent of the profits!"
"Ten percent at most!" The Gong Sun Lang looked at Gong Sun Lang seriously and said, "Minister Lang, you're not Minister Xiong's only brother. We have to share the profits. Otherwise, this business won't last long! Besides, Minister Xiong said that Emperor Xun is our backer now, so we should share the profits with Emperor Xun. "
"Damn it, if we give the profits to Emperor Xun, won't we?" Gong Sun Lang looked at the Gong Sun Lang gloomily and said, "Alright, we'll talk about the profits later. Tell me, what do we have to do to attack the city wall?"
The Gong Sun Lang glanced at the Gong Sun Lang's warriors, who were badly injured by the rain of arrows. Remaining silent for a while, he abruptly laughed and said, "Isn't that easy? It's just about a hundred meters, isn't it? Build a human ladder! Those people are so stupid! "
"Quack!" Gong Sun Lang screamed in a daze. Looking at the chaotic battle formation in the front, he laughed and said, "Ahyaya, so smart. I didn't know that our Gong Sun Family has a genius like you! Hehe, what's your name? From now on, just work for Master Lang. I won't mistreat you! "
The Gong Sun Lang hurriedly laughed and said, "Minister Lang, I'm your nephew, Gong Sun Liang! You must remember me … Back then, Minister Yang was investigated by the council of elders for falsifying accounts. Hehe, I didn't find anything wrong with those accounts! "
Gong Sun Lang laughed as if he was enlightened. He slapped heavily on Gong Sun Liang's shoulder and said delightfully, "It's you! I remember now. Hmm, work hard for me, and you'll be rewarded!"
On the city wall, Ji Xia and the others were stunned as they watched the warriors on the ladders suddenly burst into hoarse growls. They dropped their weapons and shields, then stood up on top of each other. The soldiers of the allied army intertwined their arms and legs and gradually stood up to a height of hundreds of feet. Then, they suddenly fell forward. With muffled thuds, they built human ladders between the top of the ladders and the city wall.
Large groups of warriors let out deep roars of joy. They lined up in orderly lines, trod on the bodies of their comrades, and speedily marched to Yao Mountain City.
"Who is commanding these warriors? I'm going to break his legs and then chop off his head! " Looking at those human warriors who had been gritting their teeth and building human ladders, Ji Xia's eye corners twitched intensely as he growled hoarsely.
Wielding his long spear, a fiery light swept out and crushed the three human ladders in front of Ji Xia, along with thousands of human warriors who had been building the human ladders.
Ji Xia raised the long spear and shouted, "Boys, kill!"
The human ladders were destroyed one after another, and countless human bodies fell into the moat.
