Chapter 417: Little Major Zhao

 After a short amount of time, the battle resumed. An arrow that glowed with red radiance again flew and shot toward the Bi Fang.

The Bi Fang immediately fired another column of flame, but this time after a large quake the stone fort had instantly been set ablaze.

There was no doubt that the remaining Han soldiers had been killed by that attack.

Moreover, the stone fort had delayed the Bi Fang. The army had approached the stone fort and had already begun shooting arrows!

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei was observing the power of the Han army as he activated his abilities to check on them.

Wei Xiao Bie almost cried out in surprise, “Repeating crossbows!”

There were less than a thousand soldiers shooting arrows, but the arrows that they fired exceeded ten thousand.

There was no doubt that these soldiers were holding the repeating crossbows that Zhu Ge Liang had invented. Those things could shoot out ten arrows with one shot.

However, because of its size, it required a few people to control a single one and they were usually mounted on forts. However, seeing that the soldiers were each holding onto one, Wei Xiao Bei could only remark that truly anything could happen in the Dust World.

Going back to the topic, the arrows of the repeating crossbows were shorter than normal causing them to fall before they even reached the Bi Fang.

However, even if that was so, it had frightened the Bi Fang, causing it to distance itself.

Before it noticed that the arrows would not hit it, the first army formation had reached the fort.

Following the formation entering the fort, the flames ravaging it miraculously extinguished. Afterward, a barrier of light slowly appeared just as the flustered Bi Fang fired another column of flame.

Boom! The pillar of flame hit the barrier, destroying it. However, the flame pillar also did not last long and disappeared.

Just like that, they had reached a stalemate.

Wei Xiao Bei could see that the stone fort could not use the barrier again for a short amount of time. Thus, the Bi Fang held an advantage.

This could be easily seen. Just as the barrier collapsed, another barrier of light appeared, but before it could cover the entire fort, it collapsed in on itself.

Thus more soldiers surrounded the stone fort. With the stone fort in the center, more barriers appeared merging into one. It was bigger than the barrier before and protected the entire fort.

The Bi Fang was not tired at all as it fired another pillar of flame.

Boom! This time the barrier was not destroyed. On the contrary, the flames had been deflected and only a small amount landed on the barrier.

Even if the flames were deflected back, the Bi Fang did not dare face it as it flapped its wings and dodged.

However, enduring an attack in such a way was bad.

Even if the barrier was bigger, it was not that much stronger than the barrier from before. After the pillar of fire had hit it, it had been shaking as if it could not endure another attack.

However, the Han soldiers began to counter-attack. These soldiers quickly placed weapons in the appropriate places and operated them.

Soon, arrows as thick as tree trunks were mounted on ballistae and rocks the size of humans were being piled up on the catapult.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of air being penetrated echoed through the valley. In an instant, arrows and boulders were shot out from the fort.

The arrows and boulders that were shot had been calculated quite well. They did not directly aim for the place where the Bi Fang was at, but instead relied on arrows being fired everywhere to limit its movement. Afterward, the stone fort would shoot an arrow to become the killing move.

It could be said that the Bi Fang was swift in the air. The initial volley had almost caused it to run away, but it had slowed down in the end and was forced close to the stone fort.

On the other hand, the arrows that were shot from the fort had been blocked by the pillar of flame that the Bi Fang shot.

Every flame pillar could shoot down more than ten arrows, but because the arrows appeared to have some kind of mysterious power, the flame pillar did not have any energy left to hit the soldiers operating the weapons.

As for arrows shot by normal crossbows and the repeating crossbow, the Bi Fang completely ignored them. After all these arrows had little power in them. Before they could even reach it, they would have been burnt to ashes as they approached it.

Just like that, as long as the arrows were not used up, the Bi Fang should not think about escaping.

The worst thing for the Bi Fang right now was that a group of cavalry had been in charge of delivering supplies, causing the fort to not suffer in terms of arrows and boulders.

In short, there was no doubt that the Bi Fang could not win against the soldiers when it came to supplies.

After shooting more than a hundred flame pillars, the Bi Fang appeared tired. The speed at which it shot flame pillars had decreased and in that gap, it could only rely on its speed to dodge the arrows.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei understood that they did not even need Zhao Yun or his son to put the Bi Fang in a tragic state.

This was the power of a united front!

This was the truth whether in the real world or the Dust World!

A powerful 4-Star Elite Creature had been forced into this kind of circumstance by 2-Star Elite and 3-Star Creatures.

In the end, under the soldier’s diligence, the Bi Fang had become careless, allowing an arrow to go past the cloud around it and hit it.

The Bi Fang was around six meters long. As the three-meter long arrow hit it, only a small portion penetrated as it burnt to ashes.

However, the Han soldiers began to cheer.

For them, this was a victory.

Being able to hit it once meant that they could hit it tens and hundreds of times!

The Bi Fang had a powerful recovery ability. The clouds outside its body congregated on the wound, sealing and healing it immediately.

However, recovering like this wasted a lot of energy.

Soon, the Bi Fang was hit by a second arrow. The third time, it was hit by a boulder, sending it flying ten meters back. The cloud surrounding its body had dissipated, but even Wei Xiao Bei could see that it had decreased in volume.

After being hit by ten arrows and a few boulders, the Bi Fang became a lot weaker as its recovery speed had also decreased by three times.

The more injured it was the more it lost its strength. The more it lost its strength, the more it could not defend from attacks. It was a very vicious cycle.

This meant that it was a matter of time before they would take down the Bi Fang!

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was not clear if the Bi Fang had the power of rebirth that the Phoenix had.

However, even if it had one, it would still be killed in an instant.

Going back to the issue at hand, Wei Xiao Bei also had one or two trump cards. For a powerful monster like the Bi Fang, he did not believe that it did not have any.

The only question was when the Bi Fang would use it.

As time went on, the Bi Fang got even weaker. In the end, its recovery speed had decreased to its limit. Its wound only had little traces of recovery. Even the cloud around its body had become so thin that it was almost invisible.

Just when the Han soldiers were preparing the final wave of attack to kill the Bi Fang, the Bi Feng let out an earth-shattering screech.

The screech was so loud that even Wei Xiao Bei’s ears began to hurt.

 Could this be the Bi Fang’s trump card?

However, the question was if the Han soldiers had anticipated this or not. Moreover, could the barrier even block this screech?

After the barrier was up, even Wei Xiao Bei with his accurate hearing could not hear any sound coming from inside. From this, it could be seen that the barrier could block sounds.

 A flame pillar could not directly destroy the barrier, how could sound do the same? This was simply indulging in wild fantasy.

Moreover, even Wei Xiao Bei hasn’t heard or read anything about a Bi Fang’s screech containing some outstanding power.

However, after the Bi Fang screeched, the soldiers below it immediately slowed in their fire rate, as if they were trying to maintain the barrier.

At this time, a general rode a horse out of the formation. He wore a silver-white armor while riding an unusually spirited horse. On his hand was a light silver great spear with a bow on his back. He looked around sixteen years old with jade white skin, but he held himself in an imposing manner. Even Wei Xiao Bei could not help but exclaim!

While Wei Xiao Bei was guessing if it was Zhao Yun’s son or not, the station commander began to chatter, “Look! little Major Zhao has come out! Just as I said, as long as little Major Zhao goes out, there is nothing to fear. He is the eldest son of the General of Tiger’s Might!”

Wei Xiao Bei admitted that this minister of war truly looked impressive. Just by coming out from the barrier to face the ferocious Bi Fang, it made it understandable that his bravery was something that no commoner could have.

It must be understood that although the Bi Fang was already tired and was about to meet its end, it was still a 4-Star Creature.

If the other party was not 4-Star or higher, they would still be food to it. It was simply trying to create a joke and smearing mud on Zhao Zi Long’s name.

This scene was truly like a stage play. If this were in the real world, many girls would probably scream and become attracted to the hero.

This person’s charm was at least thirty!

Wei Xiao Bei did not doubt this.

However, he could not help but want to ridicule the station commander.

 Aren’t you also a military officer? How could you act like a fan chasing after a celebrity?

However, it could be seen from this that the prestige of the Zhao family in this army was very high.
