Chapter 892 - The Main Arjing City Festival
Chapter 892
(Unedited)
…
The battlefield is in chaos while the commanders shouted at the panicking soldiers while also targeting the giant turtle in front of them. However, no matter how hard they try attacking the turtle they could not seem to damage it because of its thick carapace and scales.
"Damn it! If this continues we would be wiped out. Where is our backup!" shouted a commander while he concentrated a ball of fire in his hand and then sent it flying towards the turtle\'s head.
Ka-boom!!!
The loud explosion sent debris flying all over the place. The plants on top of the head were all destroyed. The turtle seems to have regained its consciousness and began shaking its head left and right. However, before it could even recover from its seemingly groggy state, a few plants have already begun crawling towards its head and then their sharp roots began drilling through its eyes and nose.
The giant turtle was once again turned into a mindless puppet by the plants.
"Damn it! We have to hit all of those parasitic plats to remove them from the giant turtle. If not, then the city would be facing great peril!" shouted one of the commanders.
The mages on the ground who are assigned for attacking began to form fireballs and ice bolts on their hands and then sent them flying to the turtle\'s head.
Right at this moment, as if sensing the danger, the plants decided to make the turtle retract its head into its shell.
Boom! Crash!
The fireballs and ice bolts missed their target and now the head of the turtle is already hidden. They could only forcefully target that large hole where the head is hidden in the shell. But that would be hard because of the constant barrage of the projectile from the plants which could turn anything it hits into amber stones.
Shin Jiao who is falling from the air saw this but did not act immediately. He could tell that those resin bullets have something weird in them. It\'s like when something is hit by them, the energy in their body along with their strength would be sap away.
And the speed that those resins became hard is a little bit fast. Hence he would not jump into a situation that might even endanger his life.
While in the air, he carefully takes out several sphere-shaped objects. The objects look like small black bombs.
Shin Jiao suddenly spreads them in a wide area which would cover almost the whole shell of the turtle. Those soldiers who suddenly noticed this scene above became a bit curious as they look up. At this time, the plants have also noticed this and their attention suddenly shifted upwards.
Many of the mages saw this and took the opportunity to bombard the shell with their spells. However, it is still futile as those that are destroyed would be substituted by new plants which would suddenly grow and then sprout.
Right at this moment, the black objects blotting the sky suddenly began falling. Like raindrops from the sky then fall down, but this time with the use of Shin Jiao\'s psychokinesis the black objects fell with the momentum of a cannonball.
Zoom!!! Zoom!!! Zoom!!!
The whistling sound of the black object echoed through the air making those who heard this show fear in their eyes. But no one could move at this time as their legs are frozen on the spot because of fear.
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
The rapid explosion echoed in the air making a tall mushroom cloud that slowly blotted the sky. The force of the explosion sent many of the soldiers flying away from the location of the battle. Those who are weak were blown further and those who are stronger held their ground but with great difficulty.
Shin Jiao, on the other hand, has already returned back to the hovering carrier ship.
"Let\'s go! We\'re done here…" he said as the hovering ship in the sky flew without breaking its camouflage.
Those who are looking at the scene below were all agape and did not know what kind of power did Shin Jiao used. Isabel and her crew could only look at the scene below without saying a word in astonishment.
Im Jae who could see the reaction of the people around her showed a confident smile on her face.
"That is the power of Master Shin…" she said with a proud smile.
"How is that possible? That thing is a 5th level beast, something that is comparable or even stronger than a Grand Magus… How was he able to defeat such behemoth in just one strike?" one of the elves who has a strong observation ability muttered in disbelief.
"And those black objects… what are those things?" another one exclaimed.
"Hihi… We call those mana bombs… That fellow Shin Jiao made them. It is very dangerous to create in the facility, for now, so he is the only one who is proficient in creating them. But we also have a smaller version of those things, we call it mana grenades…" this time it was Vilma Song who explained.
The group continues on their way to the city and decided to park around 300 meters inside the forest away from the main road to Main Arjing City Walls.
After the group alighted, the pilot was left in the ship, while the rest went outside.
Shin Jiao takes out a single long carriage and a couple of Windfalls. He hooked the two Windfalls in the carriage and the rest would be ridden by them to enter the city.
As they reached the main road, the group then noticed that many of the carriages in the city are still being pulled by some beasts. However, there are those with banners and looking majestic who are using the Windfalls with different colors according to their banners.
It was a wondrous sight to behold as the group traverses the main road to the city. It did not take long before they soon reached the main gate where there is a long line that is progressing at a marching pace. The traffic is not stopping but the movement is just slowed down a bit.
While on the line, Shinyu Jiang began to explain the procedure along with Isabel Nightingale as they have an idea of what is happening.
Shin Jiao has already given them their pass to enter the city courtesy of the Viscount Brother, who left 2 weeks earlier than them.
"Hey which family are they?" a man wearing silver armor asked his comrades who is sitting atop a steed.
"I think they belong to a rich family. All of them are actually mounting Windfalls… What extravagant people."
"… Or maybe they came from Central Town. In that place, Windfalls are not that expensive unlike here in Main Arjing City."
"I heard that they are going to produce another metallic mount. According to the radio, they will be calling it LEO or something…"
"Ah, I also heard about it."
The conversation did not escape Shin Jiao\'s ears and also some of those who are in line. They all immediately turn their gazes in Shin Jiao and his group\'s direction.
Upon doing this, the people immediately noticed a couple of gorgeous women among those who are riding the Windfall.
Isabel and her group are currently inside the carriage as they should not be exposed in the eyes of the people at this time.
When it is Shin Jiao\'s group to be checked by the soldiers at the gate, he presented his ID and the invitation from the Viscount. When the guard saw this, he immediately looks at the invitation and called someone.
"Mage Barlow… Can you check this invitation\'s authenticity…" the soldier shouted.
The mage named Barlow quickly ran towards him and then injected some mana on the invitation. They carefully scrutinized the mark and then nodded their head as they look at each other.
"Sir, you are the esteemed guest from Central Town… Your group should follow mage Barlow for your accommodation in the city…" the soldier said with a polite smile on his face.
When those in the line heard this, they were all amazed. They did not expect that these people really came from Central Town and that they are even an esteemed guest of the Viscount.
"What is the identity of this group?" someone asked.
Then suddenly one of the soldiers from the line seems to have realized something and quickly controlled his steed to walk near the carriage they are escorting.
He knocks three times on the window and then waited for the person inside for a reply.
A lazy voice suddenly comes about. Those who are not familiar with this voice would think that the person is someone who is frivolous and a wastrel. But those who are familiar with him could immediately recognize that this person is actually not just any simple person.
He is one of the members of the new royal family which has led the uprising of the believers of light. Although he is a distant relative, he still contributed greatly to the war.
He is known as the 12th prince of the kingdom, Gulliver the Calm.
