Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 712

Chapter 712
Ye Xiao was blank . He stayed in the tent for a long time .



[Is it true? That she just wanted to see me? The deal was just an excuse?]

[Urh…]

[This is… somehow… well… unbelievable?]

…

The next day, the Kingdom of Lan-Feng didn’t make the attack again . However, their men kept moving and moving . They were all cutting woods…

Trees and even bushes… They kept gathering woods from everywhere, mountains and forests .

It was baffling at the beginning, yet they finally figured out what Wenren Jianyin was planning .

He was planning on the dumbest way to attack .

Fire attack!

All they were doing was to gather as many woods as they could and pile them behind the wall of Iron Peak .

They didn’t need to care about how the wind blew, or how many woods they had . They just lit up the fire under the wall and the Iron Peak would be half broken .

During the time it burned, they would send their men to keep the superior cultivators of the Kingdom of Chen from putting out the fire .

When the fire was fully raised, it was done .

Fire had no mercy .

No matter how powerful a person is, as long as they live under the sky, they can’t outdone the power of the nature . The huge fire would leave them nowhere to hide… Nobody could endure the burning .

As long as the fire was on, Iron Peak would be broken soon after .

That was a cruel plan . It would completely destroy the tower . Lots of men would die, and lots of natural resources would die out too .

As long as the fire was on, the mountains on the two sides would be burned out .

After that, those who depended their livings on the mountains would also die .

Wenren Jianyin had never thought that he would do such a vile thing in his life . However, he had to do it, as he was losing the battle . He had to be vicious .

"Chuchu, what I am doing is violating the nature…" He sighed .



Wenren Chuchu sighed too .

She didn’t sigh for the nature, she sighed because she knew her uncle might fail even though he had already decided to do such a vicious thing .

Other men might surrender to such a vicious attack .

However, Commander Ye was different .

He would at least keep the fire away from the Iron Peak .

"Please do reconsider this . " Wenren Chuchu politely suggested, "This fire, it is a double-edged sword . If it doesn’t bring us good…"

Wenren Jianyin nodded . "I know what you mean . If this fails, it will be a heavy strike back on us . "

Wenren Chuchu said, "That is why I think we should reconsider it . It may be vile and strong for normal army, it may be too unnatural and immoral for ordinary men…

"But for the army we are fighting… I am not sure what it will end up with . After all, it is Feng Monarch holding the army . He is a legend in the world . You can’t imagine what he will do . We can’t take risk on that . "

She said, "If he just defends, that will be fine . We will just waste some manpower and time . But, if he uses what we started to deal with us… now you know our men are all regular people . Once we got caught by fire, it is never going to be easy…"

Wenren Jianyin paced around and took in a deep breath .



He looked to his generals .

The generals all lowered their heads with a gloomy face . Nobody talked .

"What is the odds that the fire will be used back on us, according to what it shows now?" Wenren Jianyin asked .

"If the wind becomes north-east wind from south-west, as the fire rides the wind, we will one hundred percent be attacked by it! Even if the wind only becomes north wind or east wind, that will still be a eighty percent! If it keeps blowing from north-west, it will be less than thirty percent!"

Wenren Chuchu interrupted, "Uncle, don’t forget the massive blast that can be made by lots of superior cultivators . The number of superior cultivators has always been their biggest advantage . "

Wenren Jianyin paced a few steps and spoke in a deep voice, "That means as long as the wind stays in the same direction, we will very likely be fine . Even if the fire doesn’t hurt them much, we will still be safe?"

Wenren Chuchu was worried . "Thirty percent is dangerous enough . "

"Chuchu, thirty percent must be the worst situation in your mind . To me, it is less than ten percent . "

Wenren Jianyin said, "They have much more superior cultivators than we do . That is true . However, all cultivators are human beings . They may want to make a huge energy wave to turn the fire back to us . They have enough men to do it . However, they have a huge problem . They have to stand right facing the fire when they are going to make the blast together . We get ten mountains of woods ready… Even gold will be melted under it! Let alone human flesh? I don’t believe those cultivators will all die for Kingdom of Chen . One or two maybe, but not all!"

Wenren Chuchu could only sigh .

She realized her uncle was decisive on this . He just wanted to give a final shot for it . No matter what she said, he wouldn’t listen .

She felt the wind . It was blowing towards Iron Peak like shooting!

The weather was good, the temperature was constant, and so was the wind direction . It seemed impossible that the wind would change direction .

[No wonder Uncle is so confident . ]

[Even if their superior cultivators work together, they can’t change the wind direction . ]

"Chuchu, I know you want the lowest risk for us . But we don’t have much time . " Wenren Jianyin sighed . "The latest report said Ye Nantian and his Northern Army are getting out from the grassland . One hundred thousand of them are coming this way!"

"If Ye Nantian’s men arrive and we still haven’t broken the wall, we lose the battle . The only opportunity during thousands of years to invade and occupy the territory of the Kingdom of Chen is right in my hands! I can’t let it slip away!"
