Chapter 45 Four Great Masters: Why is Purple Sun Staring at Us So Much?
The terrifying power of the exploding bloated zombie in the distance stunned all the bandits who followed, and even Rock was startled by it.
He finally understood why troops in Total War: Warhammer could be wiped out instantly if they came into contact with this thing—because its power was truly brutal!
The echoes from the explosion of the bloated zombies still reverberated in the ravine, and screams of agony came from the bandits in the distance. The iron zombies wielding large shields were now almost all unable to stand.
Faced with this situation, the remaining bandits were all hesitant to charge forward. They looked back in panic, seemingly wanting to ask their leader if they could escape.
"No retreating! Nobody retreating! Charge forward!"
"The Luo family army's sorcery can only be used once. After that, they'll be at their last gasp. If we charge now, we can win!"
"Kill the supervising officers! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"
Hong Tong stood up from the sedan chair. He had somehow drawn a long knife and was waving it wildly, his face full of anger.
He didn't know if Rock could still use such an attack, but he believed Rock probably couldn't.
Although he didn't know how Rock managed to hide such a large, bloated zombie, if there were many of these things, wouldn't they have discovered them beforehand?
The guy's roar was extremely loud, and it was unclear whether the explosion had caused some hearing problems for him, as his voice even cracked when he roared.
Rock overheard what the bandit leader was saying on the other end. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to summon a second bloated zombie, lest things become too bizarre.
Although he could have continued throwing bloated zombies forward, to be honest, these things were a bit expensive, costing two thousand taels of silver each, which made him somewhat reluctant to throw them up.
Besides that, what gave Rock the biggest headache about the bloated zombies was that they were just too disgusting!
He could hardly imagine how his soldiers were supposed to charge forward after the bloated zombies had exploded and the ground was littered with debris.
If another bomb were to come and keep blasting upwards, he thought that aside from whether the bandits would collapse, his own soldiers might very well break down.
So Rock glanced at the spells he hadn't used yet today, then aimed at a distance, estimated the distance, and threw the purple evil sun spell he could cast that day.
Despite Hong Tong's order for the supervisory team to prepare to kill people, many bandits still tried to run back.
Those bandits from Lianyun Village were alright; they were used to obeying their leader's orders and knew the power of the supervisory team, so they naturally didn't dare to run back casually, even though they had just experienced a very heavy blow.
But other bandits are different. These bandits don't directly pledge allegiance to Hong Tong. Just because you say we can't run doesn't mean we won't run.
Moreover, do they even know that this ragtag army is at the forefront?
That old bastard Hong Tong didn't let his bandits charge straight in. Instead, he had other ragtag bandits rush ahead to clear the way, while his own troops would take over the spoils of victory later.
So, ironically, this bunch of bandits and ragtag troops all rushed to the front, and as a result, when they were bombed, they took the brunt of all the bombs.
Despite the heavy casualties among the bandits, the total number of bandits from Lianyun Village who died was less than ten. The remaining casualties were all from this ragtag group. If it weren't for this, the bandits from Lianyun Village would have collapsed long ago. How could they have held on until now?
Faced with these escaped guys, the supervisory team, who had already prepared their machetes, showed no mercy and cut them down one by one.
But these outside bandits were all very wild, especially when they were no longer willing to risk their lives for Lianyun Village. They didn't care at all about how strong and well-equipped Lianyun Village was.
Even if Lianyun Village has a strong army, it will take some time before we can deal with them. But if they don't run away, they will die right now!
So the bandits even started fighting with the supervisory team behind them who were carrying machetes. Some bandits even fired shots at the supervisory team in the chaos, making the scene even more chaotic.
Just as this mob was busy making all sorts of jokes, one of them suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a very oppressive and dull feeling coming from the surroundings.
"My God, what's that above us?"
When the bandits saw the purple sun gradually gathering above their heads, their faces turned deathly pale instantly. Without much hesitation, they almost instinctively wanted to run away.
They didn't know what it was, but they knew that with such a grand scale, it must be something very powerful.
What if this purple sun crashes down and kills them all, just like the explosion we just witnessed?
Hong Tong, the leader of Lianyun Village, and several Ming Jin masters surrounding him stared blankly at the purplish-black sun overhead.
When Rock threw the spell, he still followed the principle of capturing the leader first. Therefore, the spell was thrown on the head of the bandit leader the moment it appeared!
Suddenly, the so-called four masters of Tieling were the first to react. Without the slightest hesitation, they grabbed Hong Tong and ran away as fast as they could.
As martial artists, they possess a far more acute sense of crisis than ordinary people and are more likely to detect potential dangers. When the purple sun appeared, they felt as if their scalps were about to explode.
Almost the instant they ran out, the purple sun finally took shape and began to rotate.
A terrifying magical wind swept outwards, and a vast storm constantly gathered. Under the influence of this power, all the bandits caught in the storm stirred up by the purple sun were instantly transformed into purplish-black crystals.
The four masters from Tieling were fast enough that they barely managed to dodge Xie Yang's first wave of attacks. But just as they breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to run down the hillside, they were surprised to find that the monstrous purple sun was actually moving along with them!
"Are you kidding me? Don't chase me!"
One of the bearded men shouted angrily and quickly pulled Hong Tong up the mountain. His mind was blank, and he didn't have time to think about changing direction.
To be honest, the reason he was willing to start with Hong Tong instead of running ahead himself was because Hong Tong owed them a large sum of money that hadn't been settled.
These martial arts practitioners have high daily expenses, so they are always short of money. In addition, they do not form gangs, so even if they wanted to rob someone, they wouldn't be able to get much money.
In this situation, the so-called four masters of Tieling were clearly just a bunch of poor bastards. If they weren't after money, they wouldn't have bothered to join some bandit gathering.
"Good heavens, those four experts are incredibly fast! And the trajectory of that purple evil sun is still as unpredictable as ever!"
Rock, with his binoculars in hand, looked excitedly at the trajectory of the spell in the distance.
He originally thought that the spell could push all the way back along the valley, sweep away all the scattered bandits behind, and clear out the entire valley.
But when he saw the purple evil sun begin to rise diagonally towards the hillside, he knew that this damned spell was as unpredictable as ever!
"Young Guards, prepare yourselves, fix bayonets!"
"Once the purple sun in the distance dissipates, we'll immediately launch a charge against the bandits and wipe them out completely!"
Rock suddenly shouted at the young guards, and upon hearing Rock's words, the guards immediately drew their bayonets from their waists and wedged them into the barrels of their guns.
Although they were shocked by the distant spells, they quickly recovered and made thorough preparations.
If it weren't for Rock's concern that the sun might drift back again, he would have already ordered the young guards to charge.
Unfortunately, the trajectory of this spell was unreliable, forcing him to wait until the spell disappeared before he dared to act. Otherwise, if the guards rushed up and the purple sun floated back again, wouldn't Rock suffer heavy losses in the end?
Along the way, bandits who were accidentally caught in the Purple Sun's attack range were turned into crystal statues. One after another, purple statues were planted in the valley, their shapes looking extremely bizarre, with an inexplicable Cthulhu style.
The four masters from Tieling continued to climb the mountain. Luo Ke didn't know if they were using light-footed skills. Although it didn't look as elegant as he had imagined, their speed in leaping between the rocks was really fast.
At this rate of climbing, these four masters might actually be able to escape from the attack of that purple evil sun!
Unfortunately, the four masters never expected that not only had they set up an ambush on the hillside, but Rock had also arranged an ambush on the hillside!
As soon as they entered the ravine, Rock ordered his rat-men grenadiers to climb the mountain quickly, preparing to let these big rats find an opportunity to throw bombs at the enemy from a high vantage point.
Unfortunately, the giant rats lay in ambush on the hillside for half a day but didn't find an opportunity. They originally wanted to blow up the ambush soldiers lying in the snow first, but unexpectedly, the ambush soldiers ran away on their own!
Just when the mouse grenadiers thought they had nothing left to blast and were preparing to go down the mountain to join the battle, they suddenly discovered that a group of human creatures were climbing straight up in their direction!
"Gah gah gah! Braided thing! Die! Die!"
