Ji Hao worked hard for a whole day before he finally put the forty city-destroying demon crossbows in place.
Looking at those weapons lying quietly in the arrow room, which didn't have any edges or corners and seemed to be harmless, Ji Hao couldn't help but curse, "That Wuli, I suppose he has more city-destroying demon crossbows in his storage."
Lie Mountain Kang, who had also been working hard with Ji Hao, gulped down a jar of water while gasping quickly. He shook his long hair, and his sweat splashed all over the ground. He looked at those city-destroying demon crossbows with a slight heartache and said, "But even if he has more city-destroying demon crossbows, we have no more money."
Five natural spirit mines, these were the private properties of Si Wen Ming, Huaxu Lie and Lie Mountain Kang, which they had taken out from their own pockets. With their social status, taking out so many natural spirit mines would be a serious loss for them.
If not for this great war, if not for the sake of ensuring that they could eliminate the Qian Family without losing the chance of being plotted against by the Di Family, Si Wen Ming and his brothers wouldn't have to pay such a great price. At the most, they would buy some high-quality armors and weapons, which would be more than enough to deal with a great war.
Sky-shaking roars came from outside the arrow holes. Since the attack was launched in the early morning, this was the tenth wave of attack launched by the Di Family.
For every wave of attack, the Di Family would send thirty to fifty thousand slave warriors, and the number of slave warriors sent by the Blood Cloud Mountain was about the same. Nearly a hundred thousand warriors from both sides had been crazily fighting on the battlefield that had a radius of nearly a hundred miles. Within a quarter of an hour, one side would suffer a great loss, completely losing the power to fight.
After that, the side that suffered a greater loss would take the initiative to retreat. After a while, the Di Family would replenish their forces, and after that, another great war would break out.
Within merely six to eight hours, the battlefield in front of the Blood Cloud Mountain had already been dyed blood-red. The soil was soaked in blood, and the foot-thick mud on the ground had been dyed red. Weak people wouldn't even be able to lift their feet up once they stepped on the mud.
Warriors who were knocked down fell on the ground while howling in pain. Their bodies bumped into the thick layer of mud, sending large amounts of blood-red mud up to zhang high. Blood-red flowers like this bloomed everywhere on the ground, looking incomparably sad and cruel.
Ji Hao glanced at the messy battlefield outside, shook his head, then left the archery room through the path.
After walking for a quarter of an hour in the winding path, Ji Hao walked out of a tunnel behind the Blood Cloud Mountain.
Behind the Blood Cloud Peak was a valley that was hundreds of miles long and twenty to thirty miles wide. On the cliffs on both sides of the valley, there were countless barracks dug out. Large groups of supply soldiers set up bonfires and cauldrons in the valley. Large chunks of fat meat and bones were boiling in the cauldrons, and a thick layer of fat floated on the surface of the soup.
Some warriors had set up bonfires and flagstones aside. Large flatbreads and rice flatbreads were grilled on the flagstones, letting out a sizzling noise. The dense aroma of the flatbreads spread out, even making Ji Hao salivate.
Inside the barracks cave, countless men with messy hair, dirty faces, and ferocious faces were craning their necks and looking around, greedily looking at the meat soup in the pot and the flatbread on the stone slab. They were gulping saliva while letting out hoarse roars from their throats, making them look like a group of crazy beasts.
A few military judges under Hao Tao's command were standing on large rocks, followed by fierce fighting beasts like lions and tigers. They were holding long whips in their hands and growling towards those men, "With the grace of the human king, I am giving you a chance to wash your sins! Listen up, all of you listen up! "
"Eat and drink to your heart's content, go to the battlefield and kill! Kill with all your strength! Kill with all the strength that you used to harm your clansmen! Kill with one enemy, you will no longer be condemned prisoners, but ordinary slaves! Kill three enemies, you will no longer be slaves, but ordinary civilians! Kill ten enemies, you will be able to join the army of the human king, make contributions, and be rewarded with jade coins! "
Followed by a series of thudding noise, a few warriors kicked open the iron box placed in front of them. Large piles of jade coins were thrown all over the ground.
"Jade coins! You bloody condemned prisoners know each other, don't you? With jade coins, you can buy a piece of land for yourselves, build a house, marry a few women, and have a lot of kids! With jade coins, you can have anything you want! Food, drinks, good meat, good wine, beautiful girls, you can have everything! "
"As long as you go and kill, you can have it!"
"But!" The tone of the military judge changed, and he growled harshly, "If anyone is afraid to fight and doesn't dare to move forward, kill! If anyone runs away and delays the battle, kill! If anyone cries and screams and disturbs the morale of the army, kill! "
'Dong, dong, dong, dong!' The dragon-skin small drums were quickly beaten. Tens of thousands of rough men surged out of the barracks like tidewater, grabbed the flatbread and stuffed it into their mouths, then scooped the meat soup from coarse clay bowls, pouring it into their mouths without worrying about the heat.
After stuffing themselves with the meat, those warriors handed over thick and heavy pieces of leather to these men, letting them tie their bodies with vines as armors. Then, they gave them weapons that were forged from fine steel, but didn't have any spell symbols attached to them, and armed them.
These men with extremely rough armors growled hoarsely, glanced at the piles of jade coins on the ground with their blood-red eyes, then rushed to the battleground in front of the Blood Cloud Mountain with big steps.
They were condemned prisoners, even lower than slaves.
Slaves were equal to livestock, but they were even lower than livestock. They had a low status, and could never be reincarnated. Generation after generation, they would be slaves of unforgivable crimes, and their children and grandchildren would be slaves of slaves.
Among them, some of their ancestors had committed serious crimes against the entire humankind, and therefore, their whole families became condemned prisoners. Some of them were descendants of non-humankind slaves, and could never see any hope in their lives. The last one had an even lower bloodline. They were the mix-bloods of human condemned prisoners and non-humankind condemned prisoners. Among all condemned prisoners, they were the lowest kind, just like a dirty cesspool.
Living in the territory of the humankind, they were doing the most difficult, most tiring and most dangerous jobs, and they had nothing but a rotten life!
Therefore, as long as they were given a slight chance to be reincarnated, they would risk their lives to fight for this chance. Even if they had to face a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, they would grit their teeth and jump in, risking their lives.
For this plan of baiting and annihilating the Qian Family's army, Si Wen Ming ordered millions of condemned prisoners to be brought over from Pu Ban City and transported to the Chi Ban Mountain frontline overnight. Among the hundreds of thousands of warriors who had already fallen in the battleground, not a single one of them was an elite human being. All of them were condemned prisoners.
Roars and growls rose into the sky, and the bloody atmosphere in front of the Blood Cloud Mountain grew even thicker. Dense streams of power swooshed straight into the sky, even leaving a giant hole in the clouds.
Abruptly, a tsunami-like roar came from afar, along with which, the disordered yells of many human warriors came, "The magic formation is broken! The magic formation in the Red Pine Mountain is broken!"
The Di Family suddenly showed up. A troop of chariots suddenly rushed into the Red Pine Mountain, a stronghold of the Blood Cloud Mountain, and broke the entire Red Pine Mountain down. Thousands of human warriors on the Red Pine Mountain fled desperately, leaving over ten-thousand corpses of condemned prisoners behind.
