Chapter 2660 How is this possible!
Since the people of Bolang were new to the area and unfamiliar with the local climate, they may have turned this rainstorm into a torrential downpour.
Regardless, it seemed as if a huge hole had appeared in the sky, with the heavens pouring water onto the ground. Logically, this was the perfect time to unleash water-based magical abilities, and some sea creatures could even use the water to ascend the city walls. But Whirlwind Fortress wasn't stupid; it disregarded costs and activated the escape technique restriction array, even sending additional personnel to the city walls during the torrential rain.
At this point, an advisor suggested to King Bolang that, judging by the intensity of the downpour, it would last at least a whole night. However, every mistake has its advantage; it would be better to wait until dawn, when the land was flooded and mountain torrents had formed, then Bolang's army could use the floodwaters to attack the Whirlwind Fortress. This area had been suffering from a long drought, the soil was dry and sandy, and the fortress walls, after being soaked for so long, would likely not be able to withstand the flood.
No amount of reinforcing the city walls will help in the face of such a natural disaster.
Furthermore, amidst the flood, the supernatural powers and magic of the Bolang army were amplified, allowing them to achieve at least 120% effectiveness.
King Bolang thought it made sense and agreed to do so. Bolang's army would remain stationary for the first half of the night, and then flood the fortress later.
As the strategist predicted, the torrential rains caused the water levels in the entire mountainous area to rise rapidly during the first half of the night. Streams turned into rivers, and areas that were originally dry were flooded. It seemed that the flood was likely to take shape during the second half of the night.
No one expected that things would change on that rainy night.
An earthquake suddenly struck outside the Revolving Fortress, causing the forests surrounding the Bolang military camp to collapse first, with countless boulders, gravel, and trees tumbling down the hillside.
They headed straight for the Bolang camp.
There were cries of alarm in the camp, and the sorcerers rushed forward to cast spells to stop them.
But at that moment, the ground of the camp suddenly cracked, tearing the perfectly flat ground into a fissure, and splitting it in two right in the middle of the camp.
What military camp could withstand such a physical collapse? Countless military supplies, vehicles, personnel, and weapons were unable to escape and fell into the deep ravines and fissures.
With such a large crack in the ground, almost all the accumulated water in the area was drained away. The men and horses of the Bolang camp were thrown into chaos, and the cries of "Protect the Emperor!" could be heard incessantly.
Just then, two surprise troops emerged from behind the mountain and headed straight for Bolang's camp!
Under the cover of the earlier downpour, the two armies were able to approach the Whirlwind Fortress silently. Because at that time, no avian demons could fly in the sky, and the mountains and forests were filled with howling thunder and rain, making it impossible to hear any other sounds.
But how could the Bolang army have anticipated that the Whirlwind Fortress would have such powerful reinforcements? If they did, why didn't they come out earlier?
At the same time, the gates of the Revolving Fort opened, and the army charged toward the wandering men with shouts.
The two sides attacked Bolang's camp from both inside and outside.
Take advantage of its chaos and kill it!
The light of countless supernatural powers and spells illuminated the rainy night at Whirlwind Fortress.
The newly dispatched reinforcements from Wusong Kingdom included immortals, powerful demons, and formidable warriors—all present and accounted for. As the powerful figures from both sides clashed, Wusong Kingdom subtly gained the upper hand.
The brutality and cruelty of the battle, the roars and screams, were all drowned out by the incessant torrential rain.
Until the next morning.
After dawn, corpses littered the ground in front of the Revolving Fortress, and even the rain could not wash away the blood-red stains on the ground.
King Bolang led an army of 120,000 to attack from afar. After a night of chaotic fighting, only 70,000 men escaped from Huixuan Fortress. The pursuing troops relentlessly chased after them, launching numerous encirclements and attacks. Bolang's generals tried several times to regroup and regain their footing, but their ranks were scattered as soon as they were formed.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
In the end, fewer than 30,000 people were able to escape back to Wusong Port or into the sea!
The spirits of the Bolang people were completely shattered, because the Bolang King, who had personally led the expedition, fell in a pool of blood in front of the Whirlwind Fortress before dawn!
When the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, Bolang's royal tent became the enemy's primary target, with countless beams of light launching attacks from the sky and the ground simultaneously.
The protective forces surrounding King Bolang were very strong, with dozens of generals at various levels, and the immortals and demons accompanying the army also did their best.
However, no one could say for sure what exactly happened during the torrential rain. The Bolang soldiers were certain of one thing: the enemy's elemental energy was deep red!
In this battle, General Sancheng was killed in action;
The immortals and demons of the Kingdom of Bolang intervened to protect the emperor, but all perished, with only one immortal barely escaping.
Due to the interference of the rainy night and the earthquake, most of the retreating Bolang soldiers could not explain what had happened. They only knew that as soon as the earthquake occurred, the enemy rushed in from all directions, and many talented people emerged.
When the news reached Bekaa, it caused an uproar in the court and among the people.
When the news spread throughout the world, all nations were astonished.
how can that be!
Who could have predicted that King Bolang's personal expedition against Wusong would end like this?
He thought he could win by expending more effort, but in the end he was defeated and killed.
Everyone is only concerned with one question:
Why is this happening?
The Kingdom of Bolang was enraged and accused Cang Yan of assassinating its king, claiming it was a national disgrace and a blood feud that must be paid in blood!
Everyone knows that Wusong is no match for Bolang, as evidenced by the previous three wars. This time, Wusong has made a remarkable comeback, and during the Battle of Huixuanbao, it suddenly switched allegiance to Cangyan. Anyone with a brain would connect these two events.
Did Cang Yan secretly send troops to Wusong to assassinate the King of Bolang? Did he?
Other countries might not be able to transport troops thousands of miles away, especially with an ocean in between.
But the Nine Nether Emperor subdued a divine beast named "Earth Mother" three years ago. It was a mobile fortress, a super platform for transporting troops!
King Bolang had been on the throne for less than five years and was still young and vigorous, so he did not designate an heir. Because a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, his sons immediately began competing for the throne. Although they did so under the pretext of avenging their father, Bolang could not form a unified voice in the face of external threats for the time being.
Within the Lingxu Royal Court, this matter has also been the subject of several debates.
Some ministers insisted that King Bolang was one of the thirteen demon kings, and that his death overseas was a disgrace to Bega. Therefore, Bega should unleash his thunderous wrath upon the perpetrator!
However, many senior officials, including the Grand Minister of Works, argued that Lingxu City did not support Bolang Kingdom's unauthorized attack on Wusong Kingdom. Any vassal state engaging in foreign conquest must obtain Lingxu City's prior consent. Since Bolang Kingdom attacked without permission, it should bear the consequences alone.
In other words, you went to war without my permission and took most of the spoils yourself. How dare you ask me to intervene when something happens to you?
Who can do this thankless and arduous task?
Regardless, each of the thirteen demon kings was a pivotal figure in Bega, and Lingxu City could not afford to be careless. Therefore, they formally sent a letter to Cang Yan to question him, using stern language.
Cang Yan's reply was also very formal:
I don't!
It denied the accusations made by the Kingdom of Bolang, denied sending troops to the Kingdom of Wusong, and denied killing the King of Bolang.
The only thing Cang Yan admitted to was supplying strategic materials to Wusong Kingdom and providing tactical guidance.
This is an obligation of the suzerain state to its vassals, and there is nothing wrong with that.
