Chapter 1161: Chapter 313: Dragon Slaying Specialist

The soldiers of Mulan who lay in ambush within the ruins of the ancient city were composed of three desert clans: the Sedum’s rattling Snake-men, the Sigodi’s Scorpion-men, and the McWana Tribe’s Lizard people. They formed two units of ’Honglu,’ which in the Mulan army stood for a ’thousand-man tent,’ so two Honglu units equaled two thousand warriors.

Like the Sand Boat Dwarf Soldiers, these desert fighters were also part of the ’Subsand Corps,’ one of the five secret regiments of Mulan’s ’Flying Camel Army.’

The Sand Boat Dwarf’s mission was to navigate the sandy seas in secret, striking enemy supply bases from behind, while the desert warriors could only submerge in the sand for short distances; they typically burrowed into the yellow sands, undertaking prolonged ambush tasks underneath. In the vast Taklamago Desert, only the Sedum’s Snake-men, the Sigodi’s Scorpion-men, and the McWana’s Lizard people, with sand-filtering gills in their ears, could accomplish this, and only they could breathe freely beneath the sand.

For millions of years, relying on this innate ability, the Sedum’s Snake-men, the Sigodi’s Scorpion-men, and the McWana’s Lizard people have hunted daily in the vast Taklamago Desert. Ever since they had been recruited by the handsome commander, their unique talent for subterranean ambush had earned them countless honors as warriors. Whenever they burst forth from an unremarkable patch of sand at just the right moment, the enemy would collapse instantly.

This time, the handsome commander had given the ’Subsand Corps’ a simple task, for the barbarian army had already been lured into the ’Hu Ye Ancient City,’ the venue of death and dwelling of the desert’s most feared calamity, the ’Gold-Hungry Ants’—in the desert’s common language, ’Hu Ye’ signifies the devil.

Two thousand years ago, the Yayuan Ancient Country, inhabiting the rocky desert, worshiped the malevolent Ant God Rama and raised a large number of ’Gold-Hungry Ants’ to use as a burial ground for blood sacrifices. The mandibles of these ’Gold-Hungry Ants’ were saturated with formic acid that could dissolve gold and iron. They devoured nearly everything except for yellow sand and rocks; blood was what most voraciously triggered their fury.

Two thousand years ago, the dead of the Yayuan people were smeared with fresh blood by friends and relatives and thrown into this blood burial ground to be gnawed by the ’Gold-Hungry Ants.’ According to Yayuan tradition, only by having one’s filthy body consumed by the ants could the soul embrace the bosom of the Ant God Rama.

After the Yayuan Ancient Country vanished into the river of history, the ’Gold-Hungry Ants’ that they had raised thrived off the rich underground veins of metal ore, breeding generation after generation. These ’Gold-Hungry Ants,’ like other ant species, possessed an incredibly strict colony structure beyond the comparison of even the most well-trained armies. When the number of the Gold-Hungry Ant colony grew sufficiently, a new Ant Queen would lead an Ant Army numbering in the hundreds of millions, migrating deeper into the desert, leaving no grass, humans or animals, or metal in their wake.

Fortunately, this part of the desert lacked extensive veins, and the migrating Ant Army would ultimately starve to death; otherwise, every living thing in the vast Taklamago Desert would inevitably become food to fill the stomachs of the ’Gold-Hungry Ants.’

From the beginning of the plan to lure Beamon’s army into this rocky desert, the handsome commander had precisely calculated that the enemy would not give up this fortress city of Hu Ye flanking their side. He also predicted that the survivors, lucky to escape the engulfing swarms of ants, would definitely rush to the ruins of the ancient city for refuge.

Unfortunately, the only place the ’Gold-Hungry Ants’ dared not invade was precisely this ancient city ruin—that had once been the sacrificial city where the Yayuan people worshipped the Ant God Rama.

The task given by the handsome commander to the two thousand desert warriors of the ’Subsand Corps’ was to lie in wait beneath the sands of Hu Ye Ancient City. As soon as the ground shook violently, they would burrow out of the sand, approach these Beamon soldiers who had sought refuge in the ancient city, and use their sharp blades to slash their throats!

This mission bore no danger, for the powerful ’Imam’ Nosrati master would arrive near the ancient city on an airship, using the supreme power of the Goddess Moni to turn this ancient city into a Magnetic City. Once the Beamon Soldiers clad in Iron Armor lucked out escaping the devouring by the Gold-Hungry Ants, they would get stuck upon entering Magnetic City, clinging to the rock walls, immobile, just like sick camels watching the butcher’s knife descend.

To execute this mission, every desert warrior of the ’Subsand Corps’ had smeared their bodies with ’Medicine Killing Water,’ which masked their scent and made their bodies smell like the yellow sand itself. Even the most scent-sensitive hunting dogs would not be able to sniff them out. To avoid being drawn by Magnetic City’s magnetic force, the desert warriors used bronze equipment hastily forged by the traveling craftsmen in recent days. To avoid being trampled to death by the towering Beamon Soldiers, all the desert warriors had taken cover below the footings of the walls and ramparts—all of these preparations had been flawlessly planned by the handsome commander!

The colossal sound of heavy objects colliding with the rock walls had already begun!

Beamon’s frantic footsteps and cries echoed throughout the ancient city!

Even the desert warriors buried beneath the sands could feel their trembling and panic!

It was only when the desert warriors, clad in bronze armor and armed with bronze swords, emerged from beneath the sand, that they realized they were facing a group of god-like towering Beamon Soldiers—each of them boasting rock-solid muscles and mountainous statures!
