Chapter 337: The Fortress War! The Sudden Arrival of a Strong Warrior!
Outside a magnificent fortress located at the border of the Tagore Desert and the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a fierce battle is unfolding. In this complex terrain, countless soldiers from the Jia Ma Empire and serpent-men warriors are engaged in a life-and-death struggle. However, the true key to the outcome of this war lies in the battle taking place high in the sky among nine dazzling figures.
In this war, the highest-ranking general of the Jia Ma Empire is Nalan Jie, who has just recovered from a severe illness. Among the four other human warriors, three are former top ten powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire, while the last one is a mysterious newcomer to the battlefield.
“Brother Yan Xiao, we’re really fortunate to have your help this time!”
In the sky, after separating from the serpent-men leader, the elderly Nalan Jie smiled warmly at the somewhat thin figure of a young man.
“Marshal Nalan, you’re too kind. If it weren’t for the troops providing me with some herbs to counteract the serpent poison, I probably wouldn’t even be able to speak here today.”
This thin young man was none other than Xiao Yan, who had previously been pursued by the three serpent-men leaders: Mobas, Nanshe, and another. After managing to shake them off, Xiao Yan was severely wounded by Mobas and eventually found his way to this fortress.
This fortress, being on constant guard against the serpent-men tribe, had accumulated a significant stock of herbs and antidotes for serpent poison over the years.
Xiao Yan successfully used these herbs to refine an antidote for Mobas's serpent poison.
Because of this, Xiao Yan owed a great favor. When the other four serpent-men leaders led an army to attack the fortress, Xiao Yan also joined the battlefield.
Originally, the four serpent-men leaders, relying on their combined battle formation, were overpowering the four Dou Kings of the Jia Ma Empire. However, with Xiao Yan’s sudden entry into the fray, the situation immediately stabilized.
The two sides fought seven or eight times without a clear victor.
This time, just like before, the five Dou Kings of the Jia Ma Empire fought to a draw against the four serpent-men leaders.
After leaving behind a harsh threat, the serpent-men tribe reluctantly chose to retreat temporarily.
Seeing the serpent-men retreat, a burly man loudly asked Nalan Jie, “Nalan Jie, this war has been dragging on for so long. Why hasn’t the royal family sent reinforcements yet?”
“Indeed, although we can still hold out for now, the serpent-men tribe still has Queen Medusa, who hasn’t made a move yet. If Queen Medusa joins the battle, I’m afraid we won’t stand a chance!” echoed a thin, elderly man.
“Lion King, Feng Li, are you implying that Elder Jia is deliberately not sending us support?” Nalan Jie asked directly, catching the meaning behind their words.
Sensing this aura, Nalan Jie, Yan Shi, Feng Li, and the other Dou Kings, who had just relaxed, immediately tensed up and went on high alert.
Under their watchful gaze, a woman slowly approached, walking through the air and eventually stopping above the serpent-men army.
"This is—!"
When they saw that the woman had legs indistinguishable from those of a human, the four renowned Dou Kings of the Jia Ma Empire couldn’t help but gasp.
They were well aware of what it meant for a member of the serpent-men tribe to shed their tail and take on a human form.
"Could this be the fabled Queen Medusa of the serpent-men tribe?"
"Who would have thought that Queen Medusa has already reached the Dou Zong realm!"
As they spoke, the four Dou Kings, including Xiao Yan, who was frowning, unconsciously began retreating toward the fortress.
