Chapter 909: Burned

Compared to the Yi Yang Groups other hidden bases, the conditions of the terrain here were really unfortunate. The fiery woman was the perfect counter to their wilderness retreat. She was able to completely dominate them without even requiring any backup. Of course, she still had the same forces backing her up as the others. In the distance twenty Airships were circling the area, carrying the scouting equipment as well as backup ready to rush into action at any time. There was also the fact that shed spent a few days preparing the battlefield by pumping poison into the forest plants.

The violent detonation of the groups of soldiers was not even as bad as the others near them. At least the soldiers at the epicenter of the explosions were blown to bits, ending their lives instantly. The others that were further away only had their defensive barriers broken leaving them to be consumed by the raging flames sheathing their bodies. For those watching in the control room far away, they actually became thankful of the mind controlling helmets since it meant they didnt have to hear the soldiers screaming in agony. That relief was only for a moment because it only further highlighted how terrible the Yi Yang Groups practices were, showing their lack of response even facing such terrible deaths.

It was a shame the Lang Clan was not more powerful as they might be able to save these unfortunate soldiers, but that would put themselves at too much of a risk to start a prolonged war with the Yi Yang Group. Instead, it was better to strike with devastating might and settle for putting these poor souls out of their misery. Only the strongest and most powerful had the luxury of being kind and saving everyone. The best the Lang Clan could do for them was to provide a merciful death.

The main screen switched over to a different battleground.

The Yi Yang Group had moved or destroyed just a handful of the huge stones and cleared out a large space for a base. It was ringed by the building sized rocks creating a very safe set of walls for themselves. They even hired an expert to teach them how to balance huge stones on pivot points to create two stone gates.

Unfortunately, these carefully crafted defenses were utterly negated by the sudden assault from the sky. They had a powerful defensive Formation Array, tuned to create a barrier over the top of their base to seal up the only weakness. The only problem was that it wasnt always active. Another cost saving measure just like the other bases of the Yi Yang Group. The information gathering of the Lang Clan had become very effective and they grasped at this obvious weakness. The sudden entrance of a hundred people essentially falling out of the sky was not something they expected.

By the time they realized what was happening and activated the defensive array, it was already too late. The energy barrier sliced through the ropes bridging the Airship with the ground, but all of the troops were already sliding downwards. The last people in line were about a hundred feet off the ground when the ropes were cut. They and the few further down on the lines were thrown into a free fall, but the others who reached the ground earlier acted quickly to try and break their fall. Twenty of the hundred invaders were injured, but after quickly taking medicinal pills only three people couldnt recover properly.

Already suffering casualties before the battle even started made the commanders face twist into a vicious grin. Especially since they were already smack dab in the middle of the enemys base. The many homes and buildings of this base were leaned up against the heavy stone wall leaving the wide central area open. From the moment the first one of them touched down to now only a few seconds had passed. The weakened members of the group moved to the middle just as the doors of the buildings started to open and troops wearing those wide brimmed spiked caps rushed out.
