Chapter 1945: Chapter 1944: Defection
Sikong Yu looked expressionlessly at the camp engulfed in flames, the sounds of battle rising and falling. The Dog-headed Demon Clan was indeed incited by just a few words from Li Feng into launching an attack against the Porcupine Clan.
It should be known that although the Porcupine Clan’s status is not high, merely cannon fodder in the Demon Country, it doesn’t mean that their tribe lacks combat power. Quite the opposite, the fierce Porcupine Clan can be compared to tigers and leopards when it comes to fierceness.
Especially the Porcupine Heavy Infantry, naturally thick-skinned and strong, in large numbers, they have always been the main force of the Demon Country’s infantry.
The warriors of the Dog-headed Demon Clan likely aren’t a match for their opponents, especially since they are outnumbered.
Li Feng had her grasp the timing of entering the scene. Though he didn’t say it explicitly, the meaning was clear: let some Dog-headed warriors die to weaken the enemy’s strength, and those who survive will be recruited.
By then, would these Kobolds have any choice? Slaughtering a thousand-man squad of Porcupines is a test of loyalty; even if they are proud, with heavy losses, the few remaining Kobolds have nothing to resist with.
Sikong Yu didn’t know whether this was a spontaneous decision by Li Feng or a premeditated plan, but either way, Sikong Yu felt Li Feng’s terrifying nature. No wonder he earned the Commander evaluation at the Martial Strategy Hall of Nine Layers Mountain.
In this environment surrounded by enemies on all sides, what she considered was quietly escaping to return to the First Line Pass.
But what Li Feng thought about was how to use human nature to disintegrate the enemy. While it must be said he takes a Sword’s edge approach, not only did those Demon Clan members not think of it, she herself hadn’t thought of it either.
If he can return smoothly this time, he might shine like a comet.
"Sister Yu."
Ouyang Qiuhai called Sikong Yu, startling her back to reality: "Hmm?"
"Aren’t we making a move? It seems like the fighting inside has almost settled." Ouyang Qiuhai said.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Yu stepped onto her toes and flew into the air, looking towards the camp where the sounds of battle had lessened. Although the Dog-headed warriors initially had some advantage, as the Porcupine warriors regained their senses, the situation immediately turned around.
The Kobold warriors, merely wearing leather armor, could serve as scout materials but were far inferior to the Porcupine warriors as challengers.
The battle situation was instantly reversed, and the Dog-headed warriors fell into dire straits.
"Storm the camp."
Seeing the situation, Sikong Yu no longer hesitated and directly ordered the Horned Rhinoceros Heavy Cavalry three hundred meters away from the camp to charge in. The over two hundred trusted aides couldn’t command them all, but these horned rhinoceroses, being gregarious wild beasts, were easy to drive.
And Ran Yue, skilled in Beast Taming, played a crucial role at this moment, directly instructing the trusted aides on how to drive these horned rhinoceroses. Although just beginners, they could still drive the horned rhinoceroses to gallop in one direction.
When five hundred horned rhinoceroses galloped, there was a feeling of an Earth Split and a flash collapse, let alone the camp was not set up with wooden walls; even if there were, it would have been in vain.
The tents in the camp were flipped one by one, and soon, the horned rhinoceros heavy cavalry charged to the other side of the camp, storming into the Porcupine people’s territory.
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements are here."
Shi Xing looked back at the horned rhinoceroses crashing through the barriers not far away, and where they passed, it was like an unguarded place, and he shouted excitedly.
Some Porcupine warriors also turned to look, hearing the Kobolds’ shout, and knowing it was enemies coming, these Porcupine warriors immediately turned around, swinging the chain hammers in their hands towards the oncoming horned rhinoceroses.
The basin-sized chain hammers smashed towards the horned rhinoceroses, but a soil-yellow tone appeared on the horned rhinoceroses’ bodies. This was precisely the innate skill of the horned rhinoceroses, the Earth Armor.
And when hundreds of horned rhinoceroses simultaneously released this skill, they formed a copper wall and iron bastion, pushing forward like a historical Iron Floating Tower.
The chain hammer was directly blocked, but the horned rhinoceroses did not pause at all, and the next second, their tons-heavy bodies, like high-speed Tanks, crashed into the Porcupine warriors, their two sharp horns easily piercing through the Porcupine people’s copper skin and iron bones.
The outcome of infantry without formation faced with charging heavy cavalry was self-evident. In an instant, where the heavy cavalry passed, the Porcupine warriors were either pierced or sent flying, subsequently trampled underfoot.
Five hundred horned rhinoceroses swept through like five hundred bulldozers, flattening the whole camp. The Porcupine warriors suffered heavy casualties, with few escaping, swiftly dealt with by Lei Ba and others.
This camp was unexpectedly flattened.
Li Feng’s side suffered almost no losses.
The Kobolds under Shi Xing did not escape unscathed; some wounded, unable to dodge, did not escape their fate. After Shi Xing counted the numbers, of the over five hundred Kobold warriors, only about a hundred were left.
Moreover, they were surrounded by the massive horned rhinoceroses.
"My Lord, what is the meaning of this? I have always been on your side. When those Porcupine heads dared offend you, I led the tribe’s warriors to bravely kill the enemy."
Shi Xing sensed something was amiss, but now he was like fish on the chopping block. The path where the horned rhinoceroses had passed was terrifying, and there were almost no survivors among the Porcupine warriors.
Li Feng walked forward with a smile: "You did very well, which is why I spared your life."
"You should have seen that I’m not part of the Feather Clan. You’re right; we’re human cultivators from Ancestor Dragon City."
"M-My Lord, that’s not a funny joke."
Shi Xing’s voice quivered, human cultivators from Ancestor Dragon City — that was like a bolt from the blue.
He had helped the humans from Ancestor Dragon City eliminate a Demon Clan thousand-man squad at the cost of significant losses to his tribe.
If the opponents were noble Feather Clan, his actions were justifiable, and no one would say anything, perhaps even praise him for doing well. But if what he thought were noble Feather Clan were actually human cultivators, the result was entirely different.
"You have no way back. Even if I don’t embarrass or spare you, how do you explain the corpses and the destroyed camp?"
"Would you say you mistakenly believed we were from the Feather Clan, so you helped us exterminate the Porcupine Tribe’s warriors?"
"And then you survived to tell the tale. Do you think anyone would believe you if you said that?"
"Besides, as far as I know, your tribe is only of low-rank bloodline, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been sent here to establish a camp and guard the camp."
"Allying with me may be your only way out."
Li Feng looked at Shi Xing, flatly stating a fact.
Shi Xing looked up at Li Feng: "You want us to ally with you. We are the Demon Clan, and you are humans from Ancestor Dragon City; Ancestor Dragon City and we are ancestral enemies who will never accept us."
Li Feng laughed lightly, saying: "No, you are allying with me, not Ancestor Dragon City, understand?"
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as you have no choice, and I won’t bother killing you."
"After all, you just helped me, and I, Li Feng, am not one to repay kindness with vengeance."
Shi Xing looked at the person in front, face a picture of distress. The other party’s smile was like a devil’s, sending shivers down his spine.
Did he have a choice?
Shi Xing knew that even if they were not killed, with what they had done, once discovered by other Demon Clans, regardless of whether he was deceived, they would not escape death, for they were a lowly Dog Head Tribe of no importance.
"Shi Xing greets My Lord."
