Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 441 - 37: Bombardment

Gonggong quickly received intelligence from Gong Xun, although he could see what was happening over there and hear the sounds.

But he still needed someone to keep an eye on it, since he had to focus on the entire battlefield.

Upon receiving Gong Xun’s intelligence, Gonggong concentrated his spiritual sense on that area, hoping to uncover the situation there.

Yet soon, a sinister force blocked his spiritual sense, leaving Gonggong unclear about the situation.

"Is Can Gang over there too?"

Gonggong frowned deeply; although cultivators had spiritual senses, witches couldn’t probe situations with their own minds.

But the exotic beasts they held could emit their aura and block spiritual senses.

However, their effectiveness surely wasn’t as extensive as those who cultivated immortal techniques.

But for defense, it was more than sufficient.

"Divide a portion of forces to the main attack point!" Gonggong estimated the booming sounds from that side and the number of people and ships deployed.

Even if Jiu Li hadn’t deployed full force there, they certainly used a considerable amount of power.

He needed to go and block it.

As for the front and the lower river area, because the river was wide.

Even if they rushed over, they wouldn’t arrive soon.

With Gonggong’s command, soldiers and cultivators stationed there moved upstream.

Thoughts swirled in Gonggong’s mind: blocking Jiu Li would not be enough; he planned to use the Han River as a boundary.

Trying to push the front lines forward; otherwise, if the Han River became the limit.

Once the Han River fell under Jiu Li’s control, advancing into the hinterlands of Lie Mountain would be an easy path.

The booming of artillery grew increasingly terrifying, making Gonggong’s face tense; he couldn’t help but send a message to Gong Xun, asking: "Have they crossed the river yet?"

"Not yet."

"Are there various exotic beasts on their ships?"

Gonggong suddenly thought of the Jiu Li Tribe’s iconic exotic beast army.

Once they crossed the Han River, the terrain wasn’t like the Mufu Mountain Range but rather a dry plain.

Most suitable for the Jiu Li Tribe’s exotic beast army to excel.

The Jiu Li Tribe wanted to gain the upper hand; besides that special weapon, they surely needed to deploy the exotic beast army.

But there weren’t any exotic beasts on those ships?

Just as Gonggong was about to make a decision, he restrained his urge to unveil the next weapon.

Then.

A sudden storm swept from the front, darkening the already dim sky due to frequent wind and rain.

Gonggong’s face instantly tightened, but his eyes showed a hint of joy.

His judgment wasn’t too bad; with the Jiu Li Tribe’s current combat style, they certainly wouldn’t directly attack the narrow river channel with such glaring moves.

This sudden storm was the true signal of Jiu Li’s assault.

Later.

Gonggong saw ships rushing forward amidst the storm, trying to halt the raging wind and rain.

But soon found out that his power was neutralized.

"That Human Immortal’s aura is gone; how could there still be someone resisting my immortal technique?!"

Gonggong saw a figure walking in mid-air in the distance, and the clothes and appearance made Gonggong’s face change dramatically.

"The High Priest—?"

"Seems the Gonggong Clan Chief acknowledges my position as High Priest, hahahaha."

Shen Fei teased, but the joy in Gonggong’s eyes had disappeared entirely.

And was replaced with vigilance, even the aura he had been urging was somewhat restrained.

’That guy actually came?’

Gonggong roared inwardly, not expecting Shen Fei would be the commander this time!

Although this guy wasn’t a Human Immortal, his various strategies in warfare could achieve more than mere Human Immortals.

’Tier Ten is indeed tough to handle...’

Shen Fei, in fact, kept a calm exterior but was actually exerting all his strength, teaming up with Little Pu to resist Gonggong’s power.

Fortunately, in the Great Wilderness, Shen Fei unlocked Tier Nine’s power.

Even without ’Mating Armor,’ he could at least counter Gonggong.

What saved him was his talent; if he were an ordinary Summoner.

Without experiencing the rank-up of Summoned Beasts and the corresponding improvement.

Without Summoned Beasts, even exhausting all your internal power wouldn’t be able to deal with Tier Ten Gonggong.

Of course, the Empress was exceptional.

She was the most trained by Shen Fei, easily destroyed Tier Nine at Tier Six.

Even confronted a semi-crippled Tier Ten God of Cold Abyss.

Now having become Tier Nine, the magic she wielded was even more outrageous.

Primarily because the All Things Sect Technique nearly drained Duan Xiu’s witchcraft.

Therefore, dealing with Gonggong was not an issue, especially with the ’Celestial River’ involved.

But Shen Fei wasn’t like that, he could only rely on Little Pu to counter Gonggong.

Or merely disrupt him to avoid dispersing the wind and rain. If they fought head-on.

Shen Fei would definitely lose, even possibly die at Gonggong’s hands, but Can Gang wasn’t blind.

Now, it was only because Gonggong hadn’t taken action personally; if he did, Can Gang would appear too.

Due to Shen Fei’s interference, Gonggong couldn’t suppress the storm for the time being, and among the wind and rain, bronze-colored ships continued moving toward the opposite shore.

"Siege Crossbow!"

Gonggong hesitated for a moment but didn’t attack directly; if he did now, it would ignite a major battle.

This mysterious High Priest, along with Can Gang in Jiu Li, he really might not be able to handle.

He could only bring out the weapons he had prepared long ago, large crossbows mounted on wheels were pushed forward.

Each crossbow was nearly ten meters tall, and the arrows on them were several meters long.

"Fire!"

Gonggong said coldly, although he couldn’t create Jiu Li Tribe’s so-called firearms.

But facing Jiu Li Tribe’s long-range bombardment, he wasn’t helpless.

This massive crossbow was crafted to counter the ships with firearms deployed by Jiu Li Tribe.

After estimating its range, it wasn’t quite as far-reaching as Jiu Li Tribe’s artillery.

But perhaps the material cost was relatively high, yet with the support of Leader Tingyao.

They managed to create a few, specifically to deal with Jiu Li Tribe.

’Boom boom boom!’

The string crafted from Qiu Dragon Tendon contracted sharply, producing a sonic boom like thunder.

And the sound of the string rebounding.

Accompanied by the sound of air being sliced.

’Swish swish swish!’

Arrows that seemed to penetrate azure dragons streaked through the skies, targeting the ships amid the storm.

’Boom boom boom!’

Similarly.

Explosions sounded on the ships, and the next moment, collision booms rang in the air.

Brilliant sparks bloomed amidst the storm.

And the next moment, both sides continued the bombardment, as the giant crossbow arrows forced the ships to stop and retarget for the bombardment!

"Let’s see what other tricks you have?"

Gonggong’s voice reached Shen Fei’s ears, speaking coldly.
