Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126: Chapter 1120: Ferocity

Hearing this, Sal Khan quickly calculated in a flash; with pursuers behind and Pingdu City already breached, there was no way back.

There might be an ambush ahead, but crossing the Danshui River would lead to Quanya City. They could easily cross the river with their giant elephants, but hidden troops might not be able to, so he decided to charge out. Even if there was an ambush here, charging quickly would still preserve some of their forces. Staying here and resigning to fate would lead to total annihilation!

With that in mind, Sal Khan ordered the Elephant Army to swiftly charge across the Danshui River.

The sound of the bone whistle echoed once more, and the giant elephants trumpeted loudly, surrounding the giant elephant that carried Sal Khan, and rushed madly toward the exit of Hanwen Mountain.

The ground beneath Shen Kunyang trembled more violently, and as Sal Khan’s Elephant Army entered into their range of terror, Shen Kunyang suddenly stood up: "Attack!"

In an instant, torches on both sides of the Hanwen Mountain valley flared up, and soldiers, covered with snow, rose and frantically fired crossbow arrows in the direction of the Elephant Army below. Fire oil and pine oil were poured down, and flaming arrows rained down densely into the valley.

The flaming arrows pierced the fire oil-soaked ground, and the dark blue flames on the arrows seemed to extinguish, but soon those eerie blue flames spread like phantoms, rapidly expanding all around. When they collided with the spreading blue flames, they rose with a roar, enveloping the legs of both humans and elephants, subjecting everything in the valley to scorching heat.

Tongues of fire lashed around, darting wildly with the wind in search of prey, like beasts starving to the point of losing reason.

Seeing the fire rise, the soldiers threw bags of wrapped chilies and Sichuan peppers down together.

The intense flames caused the chilies and Sichuan peppers to crackle loudly, dense and choking smoke rose as if to pierce the heavens...

Screams from elephants echoed everywhere, mingling with the even more intense and horrific screams of humans.

Sal Khan’s eyes widened; he had never imagined such a large force was lying in ambush here!

"Charge through!" Sal Khan decided swiftly, holding back intense coughing, covering his mouth and nose with a cloth, "Charge through immediately!"

If they didn’t charge through, once the pursuers arrived... there would be no hope at all!

The ice paths beneath their feet melted as the fire rose, so the giant elephants no longer had to tread gingerly as if walking on ice; under the guidance of the whistle, they burst into a gallop.

The Elephant Army of Tianfen Kingdom sprinted with all their might. Shen Kunyang, notching an arrow onto the bow, aimed at the direction of the dark valley entrance and let the flaming arrow fly, crashing into the stakes, where the flames seemed to die out in the dark, wintry night.

But just as the Tianfeng Elephant Army was about to reach the entrance of the valley...

"Boom..."

The stakes doused in fire oil and pine oil suddenly erupted into an intense blaze, tongues of flame reached skyward, illuminating everything around.

Sal Khan wasted no time thinking; he knew placing these fire-laden stakes here was meant to trap them within the valley path. If they couldn’t get out, it was over; everyone and all the giant elephants would perish here, himself included!

He couldn’t die, for he was the king of Tianfeng Kingdom!

Countless flaming giant elephants, as if possessed, dashed into the flaming barricades, shattering them to pieces, allowing the elephant army behind to rush out alive. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
