Chapter 300

300 – Flood

Yang Feng smiled faintly and said: “Unfortunately, you don’t have that much time! Listen, can you hear the sound of rolling waves coming from afar.”

André frowned slightly. Suddenly, his complexion changed greatly, then he pointed at Yang Feng and said in a trembling voice: “You destroyed the Humanta Dam!”

When they heard that, the faces of the officials of the Notice Province changed dramatically, and they looked at Yang Feng with fear and incredulity in their eyes.

The Humanta Dam was built in the upper reaches of the Dagdomani River, a river that crossed the entire Notice Province. Before the Humanta Dam was built, the Notice Province was often plagued by floods. After the dam was built, however, the climate of the Notice Province became propitious, water became easily accessible, and the province quickly developed.

Once the Humanta Dam was destroyed, the Notice Province would be flooded, and more than 10 million residents of the province would lose their homes.

André didn’t expect Yang Feng to be so ruthless as to destroy the Humanta Dam.

Yang Feng smiled faintly, not admitting to it.

A white line rose in the distance, sweeping everything in its wake. It swept their way with a frightening force, swallowing everything.

“Retreat! Retreat immediately!!” When André saw the white line in the distance, his face changed dramatically, and he snarled frantically.

Outside the Burgas City, under the leadership of their high-ranking officers, the warriors of the southern army panicked and ran away alike ants.

Yang Feng ordered faintly: “Cast spells to strengthen the city wall!”

“Yes! Sir!” Standing next to Yang Feng, Barros, the head of a Wizard squad, replied respectfully.

Wizards silently chanted incantations and conjured spells they prepared the day before to strengthen the city wall.

Magic light fell onto the city wall, making the city wall, which had an astonishing defense to begin with, firmer.

The flood was fierce and as swift as a clap of thunder. With the power to smash everything, it swept over and slammed into the 460,000 troops under André’s command.

The 460,000 troops that André had painstakingly recruited and trained were washed away by the flood as if ants.

The frightening flood mercilessly hit the Burgas City’s city wall and shook it. But the city wall could withstand the bombardment of Legend rank spells to begin with. After being blessed with spells, even demigod rank powerhouses may not be able to destroy the dreadful city wall with a strike.

Like a reef, the Burgas City withstood the hammering of the waves.

Following glimmers of magic light, Wizards subordinated to André conjured spells and rose into the air.

“Fire!” Following Yang Feng’s command, as if locusts, numerous bolts and arrows were fired at the Wizards under André’s command.

Faced with the rain of arrows and bolts, the magic covers surrounding the Wizards subordinated to André collapsed one after another, and the Wizards were shot into sieves and dropped from midair.

“Restricted Airspace!” Barros and the other Wizards in the Burgas City cast Spirit Resonance, then pointed at the Wizards midair with the magic staffs in their hands and conjured the Legend rank spell Restricted Airspace.

A formidable magic fluctuation enveloped the area, and the Wizards flying midair fell into the flood as if dumplings.

As soon as the Wizards fell into the flood, they immediately cast various spells in an attempt to escape from it.

However, as they didn’t expect to come across a flood, they hadn’t prepared appropriate spells in advance. Apart from a few dozen people, when the rest of the Wizards fell into the flood, they struggled for a bit before turning still.

The terrifying flood swept nearly all of Andre’s 460,000 subordinated troops away, with only the 4 black-scaled siege behemoth still standing up to the impact of the flood. The people standing on the football-field-like, flat backs of the behemoths were the high-ranking officers under André’s command.

The 8 golem giants were washed away by the scary flood in the first moment, tumbling downstream.

After the flood calmed down a little, prepared beforehand, warships were released from atop the city wall.

The cargo Andro stealthily moved to the Burgas City could be assembled into warships.

Ennio, Duccio, Gian, and Giacomo led their men aboard the warships to attack André’s party.

The Dagdomani River crossed the Notice Province. Although the 4 corps weren’t specialized maritime troops, but they could still ride the warships and fight using crossbows.

“Fire Dragon!” Standing atop the warships, Barros and the other Wizards unleashed Spirit Resonance, then silently chanted incantations and pointed at André’s party.

Suddenly, flame dragons emerged and barreled toward André and his men on the backs of the black-scaled siege behemoths.

“Sky Flower Water Curtain!” The Wizards atop the backs of the 4 black-scaled siege behemoths also performed Spirit Resonance. Suddenly, water screens emerged above them.

The flame dragons descended and intertwined with the water curtains, issuing sizzling sounds and giving rise to large expanses of fog.

As the Wizards engaged, bolts, as if locusts, shot toward André and his men atop the becks of the 4 black-scaled siege behemoths from the warships.

In the dense rain of bolts, formidable officers of the southern army fell one after another. At the same time, some Wizards whose defenses were lacking were shot dead and fell to the ground or into the water.

Standing on the back of a black-scaled siege behemoth, André brandished his sword, unceasingly deflecting the rain of bolts, his eyes shot with blood and his heart torn with grief.

In this war, the 100,000 elites he brought from the southern army were swept away by Yang Feng. Simultaneously, there were heavy casualties among the elite surrendered troops. Once he retreated to the south in defeat, everything would have been for naught.

Garça could use this period of time to cement his position atop the throne. As time went on, he would sit ever more stably on the throne and André would have no chance to turn the tables around.

A high-ranking officer with Star Knight rank cultivation base bellowed as he deflected the bolts: “Your Highness André, run away! We’ll stay behind to cover the rear! Take revenge for us in the future!!!”

“Your Highness André, quickly leave this place! Avenge us in the future!”

“…”

Eyes shot with blood, the high-ranking officers of the southern army shouted.

As long as André didn’t die, there would come a day when the families of the high-ranking officers of the southern army would have a change in their fortune. But if André were to die here, the high-ranking officers would be labeled as traitors and their families would sink to the lowest rung.

Gritting his teeth, André’s figure flickered, and he shot toward the water as if a big bird. His shoes flashed with blue magic light. Suddenly, a mirror appeared below his feet.

Treading atop mirrors, André’s figure flickered as he fled into the distance.

If he stayed behind, then even if he and his men fought bitterly, the best case scenario would be him ending up as a prisoner. Decisive, he chose to retreat.

The warriors of the 4 corps weren’t specialized maritime troops, after all. They could only watch André escape.

Yang Feng said suddenly: “Chiron!”

Chiron’s eyes glittered with a complex look, and he replied respectfully: “Yes, Sir Marshal!”

Complicated looks in their eyes, many high-ranking officers atop the city wall focused their gazes on Yang Feng.

André’s army, which previously seemed practically invincible, was completely defeated by the flood, suffering heavy casualties. However, the destruction of the Humanta Dam also turned the Notice Province into an inundated area. Consequently, more than 10 million residents of the Notice Province would be left destitute and become refugees. Although the battle was won, but the Notice Province might very likely take decades to regain its vigor.

However, a victory was still a victory. Yang Feng destroyed André’s forces and reversed the situation in one go. No one could defy him. His prestige in the army reached a peak.

Yang Feng spoke lightly: “I’m leaving you in charge. I’m going back to take a rest.”

Chiron responded respectfully: “Yes! Sir Marshal!”

Relying on the 4 black-scaled siege behemoths, although André’s remnant forces struggled bitterly, but their loss was inevitable. There was no need for Yang Feng to assume command.

When Yang Feng left the city wall, his body collapsed into white mist and faded away.

Panting heavily, André sped away. He had already fled for tens of kilometers. Nevertheless, he could still see the repulsive flood everywhere. Looking at the flood, he felt like there was a knife lodged in his heart. The rest of the troops didn’t matter. But the 100,000 elites he brought from the southern army were the strongest troops under his command as well as his foundation. The loss outside of the Burgas City was a heavy blow to him.

“Your Highness André, please don’t be in a rush to leave.” A black light dropped from the sky, landed in front of André, and revealed Yang Feng’s figure. A light smile on his face, Yang Feng blocked André’s escape route.

André’s pupils constricted slightly, and a ferocious light glimmered in his eyes, saying coldly: “Ian, have you come to take my head and give it to Garça? Interesting! I’d like to see what gives you the confidence to come after me alone!”
