Chapter 1110: Chapter 291 Leisurely Vacation

The battle in the Transverse Mountain Range ultimately ended in a sweeping victory for Beamon.

Everything fell into place just as Prince Kahn had envisioned before the battle.

The awe-inspiring Beamon warriors of the Aegean Continent, just as valiant and invincible in the desert, saw the Mulanese’s most elite force of 250 Flying Camel Cavalry utterly devastated by the Expeditionary Army’s war chants and magical beasts. Yet the prowess demonstrated by the Royal Guard was more than enough to satisfy any discerning Beamon commander—with three battalions of infantry annihilating over four thousand elite Mulanese riders at the cost of only six hundred of their own, such performance could only be described as perfect.

More importantly, the strategic intention of Commander Kahn of the Beamon legions also achieved a perfect commencement after the battle of the Transverse Mountain Range.

The escape of 250 Flying Camel Cavalrymen was precisely the outcome Prince Lionheart had hoped to see. With the keen noses of the Wolves, the Wolf Cavalry could trace the scent of these fleeing Mulanese troops unnoticed, stealthily tailing them until they located the enemy’s main force.

The supply line of Beamon’s Expeditionary Army was stretched too far, finding the enemy’s main force as quickly as possible and engaging in a decisive battle was the best choice for the Expeditionary Army at this juncture—with the national power of Beamon, it was utterly impossible to sustain the military expenses of a prolonged guerrilla war against these Mulanese in the Taklamago Desert. This war favored a quick and decisive battle to determine the outcome!

With two big victories under their belt, the entire Beamon Expeditionary Army was filled with soaring fighting spirit. On the heels of this momentum, the consensus among all the commanding officers was to annihilate the enemy’s viable forces in one fell swoop.

As the chief Shaman of the Expeditionary Army, Liu Zhenhan immediately withdrew to Yale Oasis after the main force penetrated deep into the Taklamago Desert, ready to liaise with the last major supply convoy and transfer the defense duties of the supply base at Yale Oasis.

Liu Zhenhan felt he had somewhat underestimated Prince Lionheart Kahn before.

This Rhine prince with a rugged exterior had meticulous thoughts that made one wonder if he was a Fawkes clad in lion’s skin, masquerading nobly on the surface but actually he had fitted all two hundred Shamans with paper armor to deceive the enemy. If it wasn’t for the Shamans casting Evil Halo war chants and flattening the Flying Camel Cavalry with their magical beasts at the last moment, even the formidable Taige warriors would have found it unrealistic not to suffer a few casualties.

Prince Lionheart’s delicate considerations were not just reflected in this incident.

With the legion having achieved two major victories, Prince Lionheart was still wary of becoming overly arrogant and complacent before heading into the heart of the Taklamago Desert. He did not forget to dispatch Aerial Scouts, who scouted the vicinity of five hundred miles around the Transverse Mountain Range in multiple waves.

After confirming the absence of enemy troops, Prince Lionheart also repeatedly warned Liu Zhenhan to be extremely careful before the arrival of the supply convoy from Cambridge, to prevent any surprise attacks from the Vulture aerial riders!

How could Liu Zhenhan dare to be careless?

In the battle of the Transverse Mountain Range, the overall quality of the Mulanese army had taken Liu Zhenhan by surprise; if each and every Mulanese were so disciplined and fearless, the prospect for Beamon’s Expeditionary Army was indeed worrying—after all, only ten battalions from the "Whip of the War God" legion had come this time, and those valiant Fawkes-bred Beamon warriors were far too few; it was unrealistic to expect Beamon warriors from the other three provincial legions to perform as excellently.

Moreover, the weaponry of the Mulanese was truly impressive!

So impressive that even Liu Zhenhan had to admire it. The Uzi Treasure Blade, standard issue for each Mulanese cavalryman, had quality and sharpness that far surpassed the current military equipment of all nations on the Aegean Continent, and it was not an exaggeration to say that in the Beamon Expeditionary Army, apart from a few powerful races wielding heavy weapons, all other Beamon warriors’ weapons would simply snap in two when clashing with them!

Fortunately, in these two battles, a large number of these precious Mulanese swords were captured and requisitioned; otherwise, the Expeditionary Army would have faced a grim countenance in the decisive battle with Mulan’s main force.

The appearance of the "Tower of Light’s Wish" further led Liu Zhenhan to hold great admiration for the level of civilization in the Desert Kingdom. This weapon, which converted sunlight and moonlight, was simply a work of genius, a bit bulky indeed, with each base pillar weighing a hefty eighty tons, but for Liu Zhenhan, who possessed Space Rings and a cadre of strong men, this weapon was seemingly designed for him. Only in his hands, such a powerful weapon could achieve an integrated offense and defense.

What surprised Liu Zhenhan even more was that the weapons used by the 160 Isco Vulture People, struck down from the sky by the Mirror Cannon Light—silver-threaded gloves and black lotus oil lamps—might not be Magic Weapons at all!

Although these Vulture People fell from the sky after being scorched by the light beam, the hard ground and soft sand did not damage these two types of weapons. In the previous days, after Liu Zhenhan had taken control of Yale Oasis, he had taken the time to examine the bodies of Piegel soldiers killed by the Mirror Cannon Light. He did not find any damage to the fallen Beamon warriors’ armor and weapons; they only became scorchingly hot to the touch.

Hence, it can be seen that the Mirror Cannon Light of the "Tower of Light’s Wish," while mighty enough to easily roast flesh to charcoal, was unable to damage metal at all. This type of light beam from the Mirror Cannon seemed to share a common characteristic with the Gamma Rays emitted by the River Immortals, the Vassal Clan of the Drow Elves—metal penetration.
