It was spring in the Demon Suppression Pass, and flowers were blooming outside the pass. However, there was an aura of death in the air. Almost all the prey in the Endless Forest had been hunted by the Demon Clan, and only the ancient trees and endless grassland were left.
Lin Muyu rode Treading Snow into the Demon Suppression Pass slowly. She did not stop and led the heavy cavalry of the Longdan Army Camp through the Demon Suppression Pass and arrived outside the pass.
In the distance, a group of Demon Clan troops were waiting. Tang Xiaoxi was waiting there in a white robe, and beside her were Linghu Yan, Tang Zhen, and a few Naga generals.
Lin Muyu looked at the Nagas and found that they were so thin that only snake bones were left. Their faces were sallow and emaciated, and they did not even have the strength to spit. Ever since Tang Xiaoxi ordered the Nagas and Lizardmen not to eat humans, the Nagas could only eat rats, rabbits, and other animals in the forest. This year was a famine, and they had almost eaten all the animals in the Endless Forest.
Tang Zhen gently cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Commander Yu!"
Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, Fengxi, and the others also cupped their fists and said respectfully, "Greetings, Princess Xi!"
Tang Xiaoxi and Lin Muyu nodded at the same time. Lin Muyu frowned and looked at the Endless Forest in the distance and said, "Xiao Xi, what's the situation here? Where are the Savage Tribe?"
"They are stationed in the Coiling Dragon Valley, a valley in the southwest of the Endless Forest. The Demon Clan and the National Army are fighting against them. By the way, Mu, how much food did you bring?"
"Not much, but there will be more later. Let's go first. I want to see how powerful the Savage Tribe is."
"Okay, let's go!"
…
Tang Xiaoxi led the 50,000 people of the Longdan Army Camp straight into the Endless Forest. The sound of horse hooves was dense. After a few years, the Endless Forest had opened up a road for cavalry to gallop freely. This must be the credit of Tang Xiaoxi and Tang Zhen.
After riding for a day and a night, they entered the depths of the Endless Forest. Flowers bloomed everywhere, and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. However, Lin Muyu also noticed that there were very few hares, wild boars, and wild deer along the way. Even if there were one or two hares that scuttled past, they would immediately be shot down by the treant. The treant carried the prey over and offered it to the Naga Generals. These Naga Generals did not stand on ceremony. They used their scimitars to cut the hares into pieces and swallowed them with blood and fur.
Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, and the others all frowned. After all, they were of different races. Looking at the appearance of the serpent-men eating made them want to vomit. Moreover, they could imagine that in the past, when the Demon Race and humans fought, the corpses of the humans were also swallowed by the serpent-men like this. It was truly somewhat terrifying.
Tang Xiaoxi pointed to the front and said, "We are almost there. The Coiling Dragon Valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are only two paths connecting the north and south. In the past half a month, the Savage Tribe has attacked our camp many times. Both sides have suffered losses."
In the forest, the war flags of the Great Qin Empire fluttered in the wind. They had arrived at the camp, and it was just a huge camp made of logs. It didn't have much defensive power. In terms of defensive power, the sharpened wooden antlers outside the camp were the only defensive fortifications, and they couldn't be any more crude.
Tang Zhen rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "The National Army is short of resources, and we were in a hurry to fight. This is all we could do. I hope Commander Yu will not laugh at us."
"It is already good that you can defend it. No need to blame yourselves." Lin Muyu's voice was very gentle.
After the army slowly entered the camp, Wei Chou looked around and said: "Commander, this place is a good place, and it is spring, the fodder for the war horses is not a problem, we can graze them everywhere, but the food for the soldiers will be a big problem, our supply route is relatively long, and also relatively slow, I am afraid that we will not be able to support the food needs of nearly two hundred thousand Human Clan and Goblin Clan army.
"Then try to find a way. Send out scouts to observe the surroundings."
"Yes!"
"Assemble the arrow boxes. They may be used at any time."
"This subordinate understands."
In the central tent, before they sat down, the sound of war drums came from afar. Tang Zhen immediately frowned and said, "These bastard barbarians … We have been traveling for a day and night, and we haven't even had the time to close our eyes. They actually attacked again."
"Is this the sound of the Savage Tribe's attack?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Yes."
"Then don't rest." Lin Muyu ordered, "Generals, follow me out. Let's see how powerful the Savage Tribe is first."
"Yes!"
Everyone didn't take off their armors. They walked out of the camp and mounted their horses. Under the lead of Tang Xiaoxi and Tang Zhen, they went straight to the battlefield outside the camp. Along the way, there were demon and human soldiers preparing for war everywhere. Their faces were ashen. It seemed that no one had any good expectations for this battle. In fact, many people here had been starving for many days. Not to mention fighting, it was difficult for them to continue living.
Lin Muyu galloped along the way and saw everything. She said, "Give them half of the rations in the Longdan Army Camp. We can't let the National Army and the demon race fight on empty stomachs. Immediately send a letter to Lanyan City. Tell them that the Forest of Infinity is in dire need of rations. No matter what, they must transport rations here. In addition … send a letter to Jin Xiaotang of the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce. Tell her to think of a way to transport as much rations as possible to the Forest of Infinity to supply the Longdan Army Camp."
"Yes, Commander!" Wei Chou cupped his fists and then went to order his subordinates.
In the distance, the war drums thundered. There was a large open space between the huge Coiling Dragon Valley and the Forest of Infinity. At this moment, this open space happened to become the battlefield for both sides.
Amidst the beating of the war drums, rows of spearmen from the National Guard Army and the Naga Army fought side by side. Their opponents were a group of giants with crude weapons in their hands. Each of them was nearly three meters tall and was incomparably sturdy. Their weapons were stone awls or sharp stones tied to wooden sticks with vines to act as spears.
"It can't be …" Lin Muyu frowned. "Stone Age?"
"What Stone Age?" Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked.
"It's a kind of civilization product …"
Lin Muyu didn't explain further. Her eyes were fixed on the battlefield. The human and demon armies were already fighting with the Barbarian Tribe's army. Although they were well-equipped, they were no match for the Barbarian Tribe's army. Accompanied by angry roars, the youths of the Barbarian Tribe used giant rocks to blast away the charging cavalry. The Serpentmen were originally very strong, but they were inferior to the Barbarian Tribe's army. The hissing sounds of the Serpentmen could be heard in the air as they were thrown away by the Barbarian Tribe's warriors like grass snakes.
"Kill!"
In the crowd, a general of the Barbarian Tribe, who was wearing a tiger skin robe, brandished a dazzling battle axe. With a spin of his body, he created a whirlwind that actually blew a group of human soldiers into the air, causing them to scream miserably.
"Heavens …" Wei Chou frowned. "What kind of power is this?"
"Who is that?" Lin Muyu asked.
Tang Xiaoxi's eyes were gloomy. "The patriarch of the Barbarian Tribe, also known as the 'Great Barbarian God'. He is extremely strong and unreasonable. At least a hundred of our people died under his battle axe. I don't know where he got this Saint Grade battle axe from."
"It's actually a Saint Grade …"
Lin Muyu muttered to herself. This battle axe must have fallen into the Barbarian Tribe's territory and been obtained by him. Otherwise, with the Barbarian Tribe's productivity, it would be impossible for them to forge weapons.
Not long after, Tang Zhen gave the order for the National Army to retreat from the frontlines. They were already unable to withstand the attacks of the countless Barbarian Tribe's warriors and had suffered heavy losses.
"Archers, get ready to shoot from afar!"
Arrows flew into the sky like rain and pierced into the bodies of the Barbarian Tribe's warriors. Unfortunately, although the Barbarian Tribe was very powerful, their equipment was not very good. They didn't even have a shield, so they could only use their flesh and blood to block the arrows. However, their bodies were very strong, so the arrows could only injure them but not kill them.
"Ao ao …"
The injured Barbarian Tribe warrior roared and grabbed the neck of the National Army's soldier with one hand, crushing his head. Blood splattered everywhere as he carried the soldier's body and smashed it. "Bang!" Seven or eight soldiers were smashed to the ground. It was a tragic sight. This kind of innate divine strength could be compared to the Demon Race's Armor Demons.
"Commander, do we need reinforcements?" Wei Chou narrowed his eyes and said, "If we don't, I'm afraid that the National Army's position will be broken. Once these Barbarian Tribe warriors engage in close combat, our Longdan Army Camp may not be able to gain any advantage."
Lin Muyu nodded, "Everyone, change to bows and aim. Shoot their legs and arms so that they can't attack."
"Yes, do we need to use White Drill Arrows?"
"No, use ordinary arrows."
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
… …
Thousands of Longdan Army Camp's heavy cavalry turned into cavalry archers. Under the leadership of Wei Chou, they charged forward and drew their bows and arrows. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere. Under this kind of fierce and intense shooting, the Barbarian Tribe's attack was instantly blocked. It seemed that the bow and arrows were the best weapon for humans to stop the Barbarian Tribe.
After the drum beat, the patriarch of the Barbarian Tribe roared, "Retreat! Retreat! "
They were afraid. If this continued, the Barbarian Tribe's army would probably be completely destroyed by the cavalry archers of the Longdan Army Camp.
"Don't chase."
Lin Muyu raised her arm and gave the order. Everyone stood in place and watched as the Barbarian Tribe's army slowly left. They even took the injured with them.
… …
"Mu."
Tang Xiaoxi rode over and asked with her beautiful eyes, "Do you want to take back the Barbarian Tribe?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded.
"But … the Barbarian God calls himself a conqueror. He wants to use his battle axe to conquer the entire Eastern Continent. I'm afraid he won't be willing to be taken back by you."
"Don't worry, Xiao Xi. They will."
Lin Muyu's clear eyes looked in the direction of Coiling Dragon Valley. She didn't hide the confidence and determination in her eyes.
