Chapter: 447
If all the divine blood in her hands were used in a single battle, it would be like a full firepower coverage, far more powerful than her small fireballs.
When in doubt, throw in some divine blood, and your enemies wouldn’t even be able to stand.
Encountered solid fortifications? No problem, throw a barrel of divine blood, and with a “BOMM,” it’s solved.
“I’ll go find that merchant right away and buy more divine blood!” Excited, Linglong turned around, about to go find the goblin merchant still in the Bone Wing Tribe to place a new order.
With divine blood in hand, I have the world!
“Calm down, calm down, this is just a test product. Try its power in a few days’ battle and see if it’s really that useful,” Leticia quickly ordered Silver Fang to pull Linglong back, lest this hot-headed girl do anything drastic. “Besides, we also need to consider how to turn divine blood into usable weapons.” Leticia could use magic to launch the divine blood, but the other orcs under Linglong couldn’t. They couldn’t have these big brutes charging into the enemy center with large barrels to detonate them, could they?
First of all, the enemy wouldn’t be foolish. If they saw such a strange target charging at them, they would definitely focus their fire first. The valiant warrior would likely die halfway, and the divine blood bomb wouldn’t have any effect.
We need to find a way for long-range projection, preferably cheap and easy to use.
“This task is yours, Linglong. I’ve already given you the method to use divine blood. The rest is up to you to work hard.”
Leticia was too lazy to get involved in such matters. She had done what she needed to do, finding another way to use divine blood. The rest of the matter was up to Linglong.
She believed that this little dragon girl would deliver a perfect answer.
However, Leticia still had a slight regret. She originally planned to use divine blood to make potions, but as she was making them, the promised potions turned into bombs. What was this? It would be too embarrassing to talk about.
“I’ll bring back a few more flasks of divine blood later. The research on potions can’t stop. Having one more way to use divine blood is always good.”
Linglong naturally agreed to Leticia’s request. Her mind was full of how to turn the divine blood in her hands into astonishing fireworks. Nothing else could stay in her mind.
After all, Miss Linglong was still a pure-blooded orc. She was easily excitable.
Soon, the craftsmen in the Bone Wing Tribe were summoned, and Linglong personally issued orders to them to quickly produce a batch of divine blood containers that could be projected remotely.
This was not a difficult task. When attacking enemy camps, the orcs also built simple siege weapons, including small trebuchets. The craftsmen of the Bone Wing Tribe worked hard and finally managed to produce small barrels that could be launched by trebuchets by noon the next day.
These small barrels were divided into three distinct parts. The two larger parts were filled with Leticia’s specially made magic solution, and the smaller part was injected with divine blood.
When these small barrels were subjected to a strong impact, such as when thrown onto the enemy’s position, the fragile structure inside the small barrels would be destroyed, and the three liquids would mix, followed by the rise of a large firework.
Other than being fragile and troublesome to process, these small barrels had almost no other drawbacks. In the current situation, these drawbacks were not very obvious.
Linglong didn’t have much divine blood to begin with. Even if she used it all for bombs, she would only use a few dozen barrels at most.
Moreover, Linglong didn’t think they would need that many divine blood bombs to attack the Steel Spear Tribe. She calculated that twenty divine blood bombs would be enough to flatten the Steel Spear Tribe. And the craftsmen of the Bone Wing Tribe could produce twenty barrels with a little effort within two days.
While Linglong was happily making bombs, the front-line army of the Bone Wing Tribe also began a probing attack on the Steel Spear Tribe.
Since there was no mandatory objective for this attack, the general leading the attack for the Bone Wing Tribe did not feel much psychological pressure. He commanded his soldiers to approach the towering wooden walls of the Steel Spear Tribe and test the enemy’s defensive strength.
The main camp of the Steel Spear Tribe was as solid as a fortress through the painstaking efforts of successive chiefs. The giant logs that formed the city walls were special trees from a nearby forest in the past. The chief of the Steel Spear Tribe at that time fancied these hard timbers, commanded his subordinates to cut down that forest, and built the towering city walls that now stood before the Bone Wing army.
Sparse rockets were fired by the soldiers of the Bone Wing Tribe. These arrows hit the wooden city walls and were undoubtedly deflected, unable to even leave a mark on the wood.
Helpless, the general brought up several more trebuchets, wanting to try with stones, but the result was still not optimistic. The city walls of the Steel Spear Tribe were like the Walls of Sighs in the eyes of the current Bone Wing army.
The Steel Spear Tribe soldiers guarding the city walls looked at the attempts of the Bone Wing Tribe with expressions of contempt. Their initial panic gradually disappeared. These nouveau riche still lacked depth. They had no way to deal with our powerful city walls.
Even if we didn’t do anything and just let you hit this wall, it would take you ten days to half a month! The Steel Spear Tribe soldiers thought confidently.
Our chief said that as long as we hold on for another two or three days, our Steel Spear Tribe will receive reinforcements and turn the tables to crush the Bone Wing Tribe!
In the hearts of these Steel Spear soldiers, the Chief’s words were truth. Since the Chief said so, it must be the truth. They only needed to defend the camp well and wait for victory.
At that time, those Bone Wing bumpkins wouldn’t be able to laugh!
Thinking of this, smiles appeared on the soldiers’ faces. Some of the bolder ones even leaned on the city walls and shouted insults at the Bone Wing soldiers below.
The insulted Bone Wing soldiers also looked indignant, but the city wall in front of them gave them no outlet for their anger. Those cowards hid behind the city walls, and they couldn’t reach these guys at all.
Unable to do anything else, the insulted Bone Wing soldiers could only retort verbally.
For a moment, separated by a city wall, the soldiers of both sides began a shouting match. Both sides used all their lifelong knowledge, and in the end, the Bone Wing soldiers, who were slightly more learned, won.
This made the Steel Spear soldiers guarding the city infuriated. They wished they could rush out now and kill these enemies provoking them below, but considering the power behind them, the Steel Spear soldiers decided to endure it for a while longer.
In the battles of the past few days, the elite warriors of the Steel Spear Tribe were almost wiped out. Now, opening the gates and attacking the Bone Wing Tribe proactively was like seeking death. The soldiers understood this logic.
Even these soldiers understood this logic, and the chief, a tall lion-headed man, naturally understood it as well.
But it was precisely because he understood this logic that he felt angry. Why was his invincible army lost like this?
It was definitely because his subordinates were incompetent. He had distributed so much divine blood and created so many divine blood warriors. By rights, they should have been close to victory!
But the result was that he lost, utterly defeated, and even had the enemy at his doorstep. In a few days, he might have to abandon this place and flee into the depths of the jungle.
This was unacceptable to the chief. He would rather die here than leave in such a pathetic manner like a dog. He was a direct descendant of a great god, how could he be defeated by heretics?
“Where are the weapons you promised? How much longer will it take for them to be delivered!” With bulging eyes, the chief asked the black-clothed merchant sitting below with a thunderous voice.
The black-clothed merchant, with a pair of curved goat horns, was not afraid at all. He coldly raised his eyelids and replied indifferently, “Three days. Three days later, the weapons you need will be delivered to your hands.”
“Can’t it be faster? As you can see, the Bone Wing Tribe has already surrounded us!” The chief slammed the table in indignation.
Speaking of this, a cold sneer appeared on the goat-horned merchant’s face. He looked up at the tall lion-headed man with his fur bristling and shook his head, his tone tinged with mockery. “This matter has indeed exceeded our expectations.”
After saying the first half, the goat-horned merchant paused, then continued in a rather contrived tone, “Who would have thought that the Steel Spear army, with so many divine blood warriors, would collapse like a mountain, not even holding on for a week?”
The goat-horned merchant was not lying. They originally thought that the divine blood army of the Steel Spear Tribe could at least hold back the advance of the Bone Wing Tribe. Even if they couldn’t defeat the Bone Wing army, they could inflict heavy casualties on them.
But after the fight started, things developed completely beyond their expectations. The divine blood warriors of the Steel Spear Tribe were indeed very powerful, but the Bone Wing Tribe seemed to have figured out a way to deal with divine blood warriors.
In the recent battles, the divine blood warriors who appeared were all brainwashed orcs from other tribes. These orcs were indeed obedient, but their combat power was not comparable to ordinary orcs who drank divine blood. Many such divine blood warriors were kited to death by the Bone Wing Tribe, unable to exert any effect.
And when the divine blood warriors died due to the side effects of divine blood, the Bone Wing Tribe would immediately counterattack, using the not heavily damaged army to directly crush the already weakened Steel Spear army.
“You know, the Bone Wing Tribe didn’t even send out their divine blood warriors.” Shaking his head, the goat-horned merchant couldn’t understand why the Steel Spear Tribe failed so quickly.
However, this was not something unacceptable to him. The Steel Spear Chief had already paid for the weapons he ordered. Even if the Steel Spear’s main camp was breached within three days, and the Steel Spear Chief himself died here, the merchant would not lose money.
On the contrary, he might be able to resell the delivered weapons to the Bone Wing Tribe. He heard that the attitude of the goddess towards them was quite good, and she would definitely be moved by those exquisite and powerful weapons.
Selling a weapon twice directly was a profitable business.
“Hmph, you merchants, you are actually connected to those rebels.”
“Chief, we are just merchants. I naturally have no contact with the Bone Wing Tribe, but I can’t control my colleagues either.” The goat-horned merchant chuckled. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with such a thing.
Merchants nominally belonged to an organization, but everyone knew that these merchants who shuttled between various tribes were actually individual entities and could not be managed.
At least, not on the surface.
“Also, Chief, don’t think about any malicious intentions. If something happens to me, your weapons will directly detour into the Bone Wing Tribe’s camp. I don’t think you want to see such a thing, do you?” Seeing that the Steel Spear Chief’s emotions were gradually getting out of control, the goat-horned merchant quickly added. He didn’t want to die in this small place before dawn.
He still had to witness the resurrection of that adult.
The tall and strong chief let out a heavy sigh. He was indeed very angry, but not to the point of losing his mind and disregarding everything. At least at this moment, this detestable merchant was still useful.
The general offensive of the Bone Wing Tribe was about to begin. Even with such a strong camp, the Steel Spear Chief was still a little nervous.
If it were before, he would have confidently thought that those rebels had no strength to break through his stronghold, but the continuous failures had completely made him lose his former complacency, replaced by a trace of fear that even he himself had not noticed.
This former most powerful warrior on the grassland border was afraid. He was afraid that the Bone Wing Tribe would achieve victory as easily as in the previous battles, and he would become a prisoner and be thrown into jail.
This was absolutely unacceptable for someone of his noble blood!
“Don’t worry, I know my limits. I just want to get those weapons that can turn the tide as soon as possible.”
“Chief, please don’t make things difficult for me. You also know how remote this place is. It’s already very fast to transport such weapons from the great grasslands.” The goat-horned merchant sighed. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but their status in the organization was indeed low. They couldn’t use large flying magical beasts to deliver goods like merchants in prosperous regions.
The shipping cost for these large creatures to fly once was probably more expensive than the goods themselves. For a small order like the Steel Spear Chief’s, they couldn’t get those guys to move, so they could only travel by land honestly.
“If you are willing to pay more for shipping, we can deliver the goods to your hands within a day.”
In response, the lion-headed chief could only let out a displeased snort. At this juncture of life and death, he seemed to have no choice but to be a sucker.
