Chapter 1466: Chapter 1464: Shaking Mountain Dragon
From this roar, Ling Feng felt a very faint Dragon Qi, which meant that the creature issuing the roar contained a trace of Dragon Blood within its body.
"Didnât expect the Beastmen to deploy such a devastating weapon this time!" Xiong Shi murmured with a troubled expression.
Ling Feng curiously asked, "What is this thing?"
Xiong Shi gave a wry smile, saying, "This is a siege beast called the Shaking Mountain Dragon. It is a huge beast clad in thick heavy armor, and once it starts charging, itâs usually unstoppable!"
Shaking Mountain Dragon? Ling Feng noticed a giant figure gradually emerging from deep within the forest, towering over a hundred meters tall, even taller than the walls of Bear Fortress.
Seeing such a massive beast, the people atop Bear Fortress were also stirred, many bearing tense and serious expressions.
The Shaking Mountain Dragon stopped two to three kilometers away from Bear Fortress, and atop its back appeared a burly man, his hair somewhat disheveled, with a strong tail continuously swaying behind him.
"Is this a Beastman? Aside from beast-like ears and a tail, there isnât much difference from humans!" Ling Feng thought curiously.
"Listen up, Bear Fortress!" At that moment, the middle-aged man on the Shaking Mountain Dragon shouted loudly, "I am Lion Mad from the Lion Tribe. Our Lion Tribe, Werewolf Tribe, and Eagle People Tribe have united, and today, we will break through the gates of Bear Fortress and slaughter everyone within!"
His words had just fallen when sharp cries rang from the sky. Looking up, numerous Eagle People Warriors flapped the wings on their backs, each holding a Longbow in their hands.
Eagle People Warriors are naturally skilled Archers; each of them is nearly a master of hitting targets from a hundred steps away! Being targeted by them is quite a troublesome ordeal.
"Whatâs going on? Arenât these three Beastman Tribes always at odds? Why have they united this time? Has something changed?" Xiong Shi frowned.
But as the head of the Xiong family, Xiong Shi certainly showed no weakness: "Lion Mad? So youâre the Clan Leader of the Lion Tribe! Do you really think that uniting with the other two tribes makes you a match for Bear Fortress? Itâs simply wishful thinking!"
Xiong Shi shouted loudly: "If you retreat now, I can let bygones be bygones, but if you persist, I guarantee that for every one of you that comes, one will fall! Bear Fortress will not be intimidated by you!"
Lion Mad laughed heartily: "Iâve long heard that the head of the Xiong family, Xiong Shi, is an arrogant fellow; indeed, seeing him now proves it! Xiong Shi, if you want us to leave, itâs simple: hand over the Dragon Lady you captured a week ago, and we will withdraw at once; otherwise, we will surely break through Bear Fortress and annihilate you completely!"
Dragon Lady? Ling Feng was shocked; the Xiong family captured the Dragon Lady? Could it be that the Dragon Clan is hidden around here?
"Thatâs simply nonsense! We did capture some Beastmen, but there is no Dragon Lady among them, and weâve never heard of such a thing! If you want to find an excuse, shouldnât you come up with a better one?" Xiong Shi said sternly.
"So, youâre not prepared to hand her over?" Lion Mad said coldly.
Xiong Shi frowned, waving his hand: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Ling Feng came up beside Xiong Shi and smiled, saying: "Family Head Xiong, it seems theyâre here for the Dragon Lady and are quite aggressive. I feel that starting a war over one Dragon Lady isnât wise; why not hand her over to resolve this conflict?"
Xiong Shi gave a wry smile, saying: "Mr. Feng, we indeed havenât captured any Dragon Lady. Even if we wanted to hand someone over, thereâs no way we could, and besides... Iâm well aware of these Beastmen; they wonât stop at just this prey. Even if I handed over the Dragon Lady, they wouldnât just leave."
"So now the only option is to fight them, make them suffer thoroughly, before they will leave!" Xiong Shi finished speaking and said to Xiong Tian: "Xiao Tian, take your people to guard the South Gate; leave the East Gate to me. The North and West Gates are surrounded by cliffs, reducing the siege pressure. Concentrate heavy defense at the South and East Gates and donât let the Beastmen breach them."
"Father, rest assured, leave the South Gate to me, I guarantee as many come, as many will fall!" Xiong Tian said solemnly, then turned and led his team to the South Gate.
"Attack!" Lion Mad, seeing that the Xiong family did not take his words seriously, bellowed, waving his hand. Angry roars echoed from the forest, followed by countless Beastmen emerging from the forest, charging towards Bear Fortress.
"Everyone, get ready, attack!" Xiong Shi shouted, and countless members of the Xiong family raised their bows, sending beams of light towards the Beastmenâs ranks.
The Beastmen did not fear, but instead brandished large clubs in their hands, while fending off attacks from Bear Fortress, they quickly charged forward.
Xiong Shi squinted his eyes, shouting: "Dead Soldier Camp, strike, stop them!"
A group of Dead Soldier Camp in black jumped off Bear Fortress, engaging in a melee with the Beastmen below.
Ling Feng could see that all members of the Dead Soldier Camp had been injected with certain catalyst potions; they were no longer considered human, only puppets.
Using them to fend off the Beastmenâs initial, fiercest assault was optimal for Xiong Shi.
The battle below was extremely bloody and brutal; the Beastmen, lacking high cultivation prowess, possessed enviable physical bodies and strength, but fortunately faced the Dead Soldier Camp; otherwise, their assault would truly be unstoppable.
After exchanging blows briefly, countless corpses lay strewn below.
Ling Feng frowned: "Family Head Xiong, why not initiate the formation? The Xiong familyâs losses are too great if this continues!"
Xiong Shi shook his head: "Itâs not time yet; Lion Madâs goal is to make me activate the formation, Iâve seen through their intentions long ago. Their first wave of attack used only cannon fodder squads."
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised; such fierce Beastmen were indeed the cannon fodder, yet they possessed God Realm strength.
Blowing horns echoed from the Beastmenâs ranks.
"The opponent is about to launch a true attack!" Xiong Shi said solemnly: "Mr. Feng, itâs dangerous here, why donât you..."
Ling Feng shook his head: "No problem at all, donât underestimate my strength, I can indeed help in the fight!"
