In an abandoned house in Broken Tooth Castle, Jodel was observing the situation in the Tusk City through a peephole. Due to the height difference, he could only see a small area near the city gate. That was the checkpoint they had to take down as soon as the battle began.
In this operation, the Mojins would be the vanguard of the charge.
It was not that Lord Brian intended to use them as expendable resources, but that they had fought for this opportunity.
Proving oneself by force and exchanging merits for resources was the general rule in the Southernmost Region.
Jodel came from a small, unremarkable clan in the oasis. When the Silver Stream Oasis slowly disappeared, his clan was already on the brink of death. If not for that, he wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to deal with the northerners. But now, everyone in the clan had safely migrated to the Port of Clearwater, the evergreen land that they had always dreamed of. This was the reward he had gotten for the battle between the great chief and the Wildwave and Cut Bone clans.
Therefore, Jodel volunteered to fight for a simple reason. He wanted to kill more enemies so that his tribe could live a better life. As for who the enemies were, it did not matter. Even the demons from hell could not be scarier than hunger, thirst, and fear that they might not see tomorrow.
He believed that most of the Sand Nation people who came here had the same idea.
"Did you find anything?" someone behind him asked.
"No, except that the Red Mist is getting thicker and thicker, I can't see anything else." Jodel quietly blocked the hole and turned around.
The one who asked the question was Farry, the smallest in the team. The gun on his back was almost longer than his torso. A deep scar stretched from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, which did not match his youthful features. Jodel had a deep impression of this person. Even though he looked young, the qualities he displayed in training and actual combat were different from normal people. Even those famous warriors with rich experience might not be able to win against him.
Logically speaking, such a man should not be unknown in the small oasis, but the fact was that Jodel had never heard of such a man before.
"We've been waiting for almost two weeks, haven't we?" Farry complained. "It's driving us crazy to have hundreds of people in one place."
"Didn't Lord Brian say that the demons have giant flying beasts? If we don't want to attract the enemy's attention, we have to set up an ambush." Jodel was a little surprised. "Haven't you participated in the hunting ceremony? In order to hunt a sandworm, it's normal to hide in the bushes for half a month. What's wrong with waiting a little longer? "
According to the plan, Iron Axe had mobilized a total of about 2,000 people to hide in the northern district of Broken Tooth Castle, and arranged a reserve force of 1,000 people further south in the inner city. The hiding place had already been tidied up. On the surface, it looked no different from ruins, but inside, a simple shelter had been built. The upper floor was used for scouting, while the lower floor was used for living. Not only was water and food prepared, even sleeping and excrement areas were separated. Although it couldn't completely isolate the smell, compared to the Hunting Ceremony, this was already a relatively relaxed environment.
He did not understand why the other party would suddenly complain about this.
"You … don't understand." Farry wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he glared at him and sat down against the wall. "What do you think the metal cans they prepared before were used for? They dug holes and buried wires. In the end, when the enemy came, there was no movement at all. "
"I don't know … but if it's something the chief made, I don't think it's strange that anything happened."
He had seen too many incredible items, tools, and weapons in the past year or so.
"I hope it won't be the next Pill of Madness," Farry muttered.
Pill of Madness? He seemed to have heard of it somewhere … Jodel was about to ask him when suddenly someone poked his head out from under the floor. "There's news from the rear. The attack is about to begin. Get ready quickly."
"Phew —" Farry let out a long breath. "Finally, we don't have to wait anymore. I'll go down now."
Jodel was more thoughtful. "What's the order to attack? Is it still the same as planned? "
"That's right," the man replied. "When the explosion sounds, it's the time for the whole army to move out."
…
"It's time." Iron Axe put down the telescope, turned around and ordered, "Turn on the power now."
"Yes, sir!" Two soldiers of the demolition team started to turn the hand-operated generator, while the third one put his hand on the lever.
It was finally time to verify the results of their long preparation and plan. The Red Mist had now covered the whole of the Kingdom of Wolfheart. If the First Army continued to retreat, the Broken Tooth Castle would soon fall into the demons' hands. The two cities were like Silver City and Graycastle, which were very close to each other. In the past, the Broken Tooth Castle had become an excellent barrier for the Tusk City because of its natural terrain. There was a saying in the Kingdom of Wolfheart that the Tusk City would be safe as long as the Tusk City remained intact. But now, they were going to use the Broken Tooth Castle as a stepping stone to give the enemies who occupied the Tusk City a head-on blow!
Iron Axe had long noticed that the demons did not always wear the breathing device. Perhaps, for them, the equipment was an extra burden. Except for the Mad Demons who chased after the refugees, the rest of the demons would only move around in the Red Mist.
This was obviously an opportunity for the First Army.
"Sir, the demolition team is ready!"
Iron Axe ordered in a low voice, "Detonate!"
As the soldier pressed the lever, a dazzling red light suddenly rose to the north of the Broken Tooth Castle! More than 500 iron barrels were detonated at the same time. Countless golden flames rose to the sky and engulfed the entire King's City.
Everyone heard a series of continuous rumbling sounds.
However, this was just the beginning.
The barrels were filled with the rubber worm gels made by Kyle, but they were also filled with highly flammable oil, aluminum, magnesium powder, and other combustion-supporting agents. They looked soft and harmless when they were solidified, but when the blast wave of the explosives tore them into mist and sent them into the sky, the dispersed gels became extremely deadly. The burning spread so fast that it was no different from an explosion. The air was heated to nearly a thousand degrees in a very short time, and the expanding airflow further fueled the fire.
A chain reaction took place at this moment.
Probably because the temperature had exceeded a certain threshold, the rain of fire that was supposed to fall suddenly tore the sky apart and formed a huge net over the city like an orange-red Lightning! The flames did not spread from the top to the bottom, but from the ground to the sky!
Iron Axe was also shocked by this scene. After a while, he realized that the Red Mist had been ignited by the rain of fire! This scene seemed to be very clear, but in fact, it happened in a split second. The rapidly splitting red "lightning" filled the entire sky in an instant, turning the net into an impenetrable cover!
Then there was an even bigger explosion.
The fiery cover was broken, and a huge fireball rose from it like a firebird breaking out of its shell, soaring into the sky.
This roar was much louder than the sound of the iron barrels being detonated.
Iron Axe even saw the air around King's City being distorted!
