Chapter 1367: Chapter 294: Battle of the Northern Wind Prairie

Above the sky, a dazzling light flashed by.

Then, a rumbling sound like thunder pierced through the air, countless flames fell from the sky, crashing straight down onto the massive wall where the people were standing.

“It’s… it’s Heavenly Fire!!”

McCarthy raised his head in disbelief, his gaze horrified looking at the fiery rain that covered the sky.

Zhang Xiaoman was also taken aback, everything was happening so quickly, so suddenly.

The Heavenly Fire, which legend says only appears on the day of the Divine Presence Festival, unexpectedly appeared early.

The attack of Heavenly Fire came with no warning and ferociously, not only catching the Alliance off guard, but even the Beastmen were taken by surprise.

The Beast Race’s army clearly did not expect such a large-scale attack to suddenly appear in the sky; they even thought these were spells cast by the Alliance Mages.

Until the sheets of Heavenly Fire crashed upon the Wall of Sighs created by Zhang Xiaoman, everyone realized that this sudden attack was actually caused by the Beastmen.

“Boom boom boom boom boom!”

The Heavenly Fire impacted the wall like a dense barrage.

The sturdy, unshakeable Wall of Sighs was knocked down like a fragile earthen tower under the assault of these Heavenly Fires.

Countless soldiers were silently swallowed by the flames, or fell screaming from the collapsing walls.

Sheets of rock began to collapse, those close by felt an impending apocalypse.

Some Beastmen attacking the city or nearby were directly taken away by this wide-scale attack.

A sea of fire burned across the field, the mere heat of the flames causing many to be cooked alive in their armor.

Zhang Xiaoman frowned at the gruesome scene unfolding before him.

From his perception, these Heavenly Fires were not simply elemental flames, but composed of Dark Spiritual Power.

The nature of these flames wasn’t ordinary physical damage, but the most troublesome Dark Energy Damage.

While the Wall of Sighs was made by him, the materials were merely ordinary rocks.

They were probably easy to use against this world’s natives, but when facing Dark Energy Damage that ignores defense, they were insufficient.

Even though Zhang Xiaoman initially added an Array, the defensive power was severely limited due to using Jade Magic Crystal, a low-level material.

The Heavenly Fire only needed to breach it to wreak havoc and destroy the wall.

At this moment, a large section of the Wall of Sighs was blown away under the bombing of the Heavenly Fire.

This was the area where Alliance troops concentrated their defense, and the primary area of battle between both sides.

Now, only the area where Zhang Xiaoman, McCarthy, and the others stood remained undamaged.

Though McCarthy had activated his Mana Shield to the fullest extent, in reality, it didn’t have much effect.

Because all the Heavenly Fires strangely “avoided” them, without striking there.

The reason for this phenomenon wasn’t because of their luck, but due to Zhang Xiaoman’s Eternal Veil having an effect.

If not designated as an attack target, any area attack cannot hit him.

Clearly, the entity attacking from the sky didn’t know of Zhang Xiaoman’s current location.

This move seemed to only target the Wall of Sighs obstructing the Beastman Army.

“How can Heavenly Fire appear at this time… There’s still three days until the Divine Presence Festival… Could it be, they’ve discovered our plan…”

McCarthy appeared somewhat in a daze, this abrupt change disrupting the rhythm of the war.

Zhang Xiaoman squinted his eyes upon hearing this.

He knew the appearance of the Heavenly Fire wasn’t so simple.

The real reason they attacked early probably still revolved around himself as a variable.

The rebellion of the Beastman Race wasn’t without reason.

They might indeed have received instructions from those so-called gods, and this massive attack could be related to it.

Now, Zhang Xiaoman’s sudden appearance had caused a shift in the war that was originally destined to conclude.

The existence of the Wall of Sighs had further hindered the Beast Race’s million-strong army, so the entity in the sky chose to destroy it upon seeing the scene.

“Lessentara, we should leave here first, Heavenly Fire might reappear at any moment, the army below needs us.”

Regina said worriedly.

At this moment, as the Wall of Sighs partially collapsed, the Beastman Army below began a fierce offensive, dealing continuous defeats to the Alliance defense troops.

The Alliance Army was already far behind the Beast Race in numbers, with a large portion of their strength stationed on the Wall of Sighs.

Now, with the Wall of Sighs crumbling, most of those stationed there were buried beneath the rocks.

“Hold your ground! Everyone, stand firm! Do not let them come through! Everyone, form up, do not retreat!!”

Below, Romel, bathed in blood, roared as he slew an incoming Beastman Soldier.

Finally, he managed to regroup his scattered personal troops, leading them to resist.

The Alliance soldiers were scattered by the sudden surge of the Beast Race army.

The Heavenly Fire knocked down the Wall of Sighs, like a dam resisting a flood being breached, the flood poured out, its momentum terrifying, almost unstoppable.
