Five Thousand Against Twenty Thousand: The Advantage Is Mine! (6,400 Words)
She glanced at her sister, then turned to the young man in the wheelchair and said softly, "Shen Xing, may I ask you a question?"
Shen Xing was slightly taken aback. "What's the problem?"
Xia Lingyin turned her head and looked towards the center of the territory. "That tree... is it the legendary Golden Tree?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing smiled knowingly.
He wasn't surprised by Xia Lingyin's question.
Almost everyone who comes to his territory asks this question.
After all, this tree is so dazzling and amazing that it's hard not to attract attention.
Moreover, its legend is circulated throughout the entire Land of Mist.
But it's nothing, since with my current strength, I can already deter those petty scoundrels.
Even if Grandmaster Rank expert attacks, he can ensure that the attacker will not return.
Just as Shen Xing was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed!
The next moment, he gave the order in a deep voice.
"All troops assemble and proceed to the East Gate area at top speed to prepare for battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals in the territory were stunned for a moment.
But in just a moment, all the generals' expressions hardened, and they sprang into action at top speed!
"Boom... boom boom..."
Three seconds after Shen Xing gave the order, the entire territory trembled.
Auras of powerful figures soared into the sky, and the sounds of countless doors opening and footsteps echoed all around.
"Splash..."
Hundreds of Dretch rose into the air, their enormous bat wings flapping as if the gates of hell had opened, and countless demons were pouring out.
Dozens of Shadow Dragon and Lava Dragon spread their wings, sweeping across like dark clouds, bringing an astonishing sense of oppression.
On the ground, thousands of knights, orc legions, and skeleton legions surged out like a tidal wave!
The Silver Moon, Black Moon, and Wolf Rider knight orders galloped forward, their hooves thundering and kicking up clouds of dust.
Thousands of orcs raised their iron axes, each radiating a red glow, their fighting spirit soaring!
The skeleton archers had already begun nocking arrows as they ran, their bone bows fully drawn, ready to unleash a volley of arrows at the command.
All types of troops converged from all directions, and the entire territory became like a war machine that had suddenly started!
Shen Xing also immediately activated his wheelchair, hovering in the air and flying rapidly towards the East Gate area.
Xia Lingyin was left bewildered, her eyes still filled with shock.
"This... is this the strength of his territory? It's terrifying!"
She muttered to herself, "There are... there are so many Master Rank, even thousands of Expert Rank soldiers."
Xia Lingyin felt that her entire understanding had been overturned.
According to intelligence, although Shen Xing is ranked first on the Heavenly Star Ranking, everyone knows that he is just a lord who has been in the Land of Mist for a few months, and his territory's foundation is seriously insufficient.
Even online rumors suggest that he won first place by finding some special method to defeat monsters, rather than relying on his own skill.
But now I've discovered that all the rumors online are wrong!
This person's strength is more terrifying than anyone imagined, and their foundation is far more profound than anyone could have imagined.
Even Expert Rank lord like her, who has been developing in the Land of Mist for several years, is far inferior to her.
Before she could recover from her shock, Xia Wanyin spoke up.
"Sister, the enemy is coming. You should go hide in the territory for a while, okay? I'll go gather the troops to help."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to return to her territory.
"Wait a minute." Xia Lingyin grabbed her wrist and asked, "What kind of enemy is it?"
"I don't know." Xia Wanyin shook her head.
"Have no idea?"
"Yes, that's right." Xia Wanyin nodded. "Anyway, if Shen Xing said there are enemies, then there definitely are enemies coming."
"As allies, we're on the same side now, so I need to help too."
A look of confusion appeared in Xia Lingyin's eyes.
What do you mean by saying that just because he says there are enemies, there definitely are? You trust him far too much!
Meanwhile, in an area several kilometers away from the territory.
A giant bird with a wingspan of over ten meters and a dark gold crest on its head soared thousands of meters in the sky.
It held a level 10 lantern in its mouth, its sharp gaze piercing through layers of mist, and its entire body was surrounded by an invisible aura of wind.
This bird of prey is Fried Chicken.
Since activating the [Firmament Vision] ability, Shen Xing sends it out every morning to patrol a hundred kilometers around the territory.
This ability can simultaneously transmit the Fried Chicken's vision to Shen Xing's mind, with a maximum distance of 500 kilometers, covering the entire Blackwing Plains.
At this moment, under the watchful eye of the Fried Chicken, one could clearly see an army of over 20,000 men marching rapidly across the wasteland in the mist.
They carried torches and flags high and headed straight for Shen Xing's territory.
The Fried Chicken squinted its eyes, maintaining a steady pace, and hovered above the army's heads.
But everyone in that army was completely unaware of all this.
After all, they were separated by a thick fog and had no idea that a pair of eyes were silently watching them.
Soon, they arrived at an area two kilometers away from that territory.
In the distance, the orange glow of firelight emanating from the mist and the outlines of buildings could already be seen.
As they drew nearer to the edge of the fire, the landscape of the territory came into view.
The Black Crystal City Wall, over twenty meters high, gleamed coldly in the firelight, and rows of arrow towers, ten in a group, surrounded the entire territory.
On the city wall, various cannons and crossbows were lined up in a row.
Upon seeing this, all the soldiers' expressions changed slightly.
But soon, their gazes were drawn beyond the city walls to the giant tree in the center of the territory.
The giant tree, hundreds of meters tall, radiated a dazzling golden light, its entire body appearing as if cast in gold, looking so sacred and magnificent.
"Golden Tree!"
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage in the center of the army was lifted, and the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City soared into the sky.
He stared at the giant tree in awe, exclaiming, "This Chosen lord's territory actually has such a legendary sacred tree!"
The other soldiers, too, looked on in disbelief.
After the initial shock, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City was overjoyed!
"Alright, alright, I originally thought this was just a small territory, something I could just wipe out while I was passing by."
"I never expected such a pleasant surprise! It's truly a stroke of luck!"
"If we can capture this sacred tree, its importance will be no less than capturing the Weideng Imperial City!"
"I am excited," said the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City, a surge of longing welling up within him.
The next second, he waved his hand.
"All troops, listen to my command! Advance at top speed and take this territory!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded in unison, and the dark, imposing army rushed towards that territory at breakneck speed!
Chapter 324: Five thousand against twenty thousand, the advantage is mine! (6400 words)
It was late at night.
An army of over 20,000 men is marching at breakneck speed toward that sacred territory ahead.
When they reached within a kilometer of the city wall, they saw a silent army already lined up and waiting.
At the very front, thousands of black-armored knights, mounted on warhorses and wielding long spears and swords, stood in a square formation like a Black Iron wall.
A black moon hung overhead, slowly rotating in the air.
Behind this black-armored knight followed thousands of tall, green-skinned orcs, each wielding a battle axe, their bodies radiating a powerful aura of bloodlust.
On either side of the army formation were the Infernal Legion, their bodies engulfed in green flames, and hundreds of wolf riders riding giant wolves.
Beneath the city wall, a group of silver-armored knights drew their bows, and starlight gathered at the tips of their arrows!
On the city wall, thousands of skeleton archers stood in a line, their bone bows already strung, a dark aura swirling around them!
They stood in neat rows, each holding a weapon, their eyes gleaming with fierce fighting spirit, yet they remained silent!
Like a silent volcano, it awaits only the command to unleash its most terrifying firepower upon the enemy.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of everyone in the army subtly changed.
Are you ready?
The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City's expression darkened slightly, a cold glint appearing on his face. "They actually have so many troops; they are much stronger than I imagined."
He paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the front of the army and shouted loudly towards the front:
"Who among you is the master of this territory? Would you please come out and meet us?"
At this moment, Shen Xing was sitting in a wheelchair, leaning against the battlements of the city wall.
He surveyed the army from his elevated position and calmly replied, "I am. Who are you?"
The Black Hawk City Deputy City Lord's gaze instantly pierced through thousands of meters and locked onto Shen Xing.
Seeing his lifeless legs and the wheelchair beneath him, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
But his expression remained unchanged, and he replied in a deep voice, "I am the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City, ordered by the city lord to leave the city to quell the rebellion."
"While passing through the Blackwing Plains, I discovered this surprisingly large territory, so I came to investigate."
Hearing the other party introduce themselves, Shen Xing was not surprised.
In fact, upon seeing the flags on those troops, he had a rough idea of who these people were.
