Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

Chapter 459: The Flustered and Exasperated Scorpion Race's Chief

Although he didn't expect so many ferocious birds to gather and join the war against the Kingdom of Dawn, he wasn't too surprised.

It was common for accidents to happen in war. It would be abnormal if there were no accidents.

However, that was a battlefield, a war. On the battlefield, changes could happen instantly, and anything could happen.

The battle's outcome would be decided in an instant.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and calmly looked at the dense flock of ferocious birds in the void.

The appearance of those ferocious birds was a huge threat to the entire Kingdom of Dawn. They didn't need to attack from the ground but could directly launch a surprise attack from the sky.

Now that the Starlight Canopy had lost its effect, the Kingdom of Dawn had to deal with the threats from both the ground and the sky.

The pressure it created was unprecedented.

The massive flock of ferocious birds swept over like a tide, quickly approaching.

As they approached, he could also see a huge ferocious bird at the front of the flock.

"Wind Pterosaur."

With just a glance, Li Xiang recognized the identity of the leading ferocious bird. It was a Wind Pterosaur. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Wind Pterosaur but a terrifying ferocious bird that was hundreds of meters in size with its wings spread. Its entire body exuded the aura of a king. Among the ferocious birds, it was outstanding. No other bird could compare to its aura.

The massive pressure instantly crushed down.

The greenish-black scales covering its wings made the Wind Pterosaur look terrifying. Its defensive power must be extremely shocking.

That was no longer an ordinary Pterosaur but a mutated Wind Pterosaur King that had transformed. Those sharp eyes could send a chill down one's spine when they stared at one's body.

Wherever it passed, the wind swept, and the grass and trees flew.

Even before it got close, it was as if a storm was brewing and sweeping in all directions.

If not for the fact that they were all Transcendents, the storm would have blown them away.

The Wind Pterosaur's eyes seemed to have locked onto North City. An intense hatred appeared in its eyes.

"This gaze is similar to the Black Snake King's gaze. Could it be that it has a grudge against North City or the Kingdom of Dawn?"

Li Xiang took a deep breath. The battle intent in his heart did not waver in the slightest.

Boom!

Not only did the threat come from the sky, but almost simultaneously, a series of muffled rumbles came from underground without warning. A series of violent explosions caused the entire ground to shake. The sound was instantly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"This explosion sounds like a Rune Bomb? Why did it ring out underground? What's going on?"

"The explosion came from the underground outside of North City. Could there be many Rune Bombs buried underground outside North City?"

Someone could clearly feel that the explosions were coming from deep underground. Moreover, the number of explosions was quite dense. Otherwise, the ground would not have been shaking so violently. Even some of the houses and buildings in North City were trembling and shaking. One could only imagine how destructive that was.

"What a meticulous arrangement. There are even Rune Bombs placed deep underground. I think there must be a Foreign Race Army preparing to launch a sneak attack from underground, but they encountered the Rune Bombs buried underground. I didn't think that North City would have such a flaw. Among the foreign races, quite a few could travel underground. If they were to launch a surprise attack on the city, the damage they would cause would be too great."

"Boom!"

A hole appeared when the ground suddenly caved in on the battlefield outside of North City.

Inside the cave, the Scorpion race's chief, Li Qing, was emitting intense anger. The armor on his body was covered in traces of ice and fire. His black hair was burnt to a mess and looked extremely pathetic.

As soon as he came out, he raised his long spear and pointed it in the direction of North City. He cursed angrily, "Damn you, Lord of Dawn. You're so despicable. How could you set up such a trap underground? I will not rest until I destroy your City of Dawn."

Li Qing's exasperated voice resounded throughout the battlefield.

The anger in his eyes was almost tangible, and he wanted to burn everything he saw into ashes.

He had arrived at the battlefield earlier than anyone else but didn't launch an attack immediately. Instead, he had been hiding underground, trying to dig a tunnel and waiting for the other foreign races to arrive. He had planned first to launch an attack on the ground to attract the attention of the North City's defending troops. Then, he would lead the Scorpion Army to dig a tunnel underneath and rush straight to the city's center. They would instantly shatter the city's foundation and destroy one of the cities in the Kingdom of Dawn. He wanted to give the battle a good start.

Previously, he had observed the battlefield's situation and witnessed the dangers on the ground with his own eyes. He was even secretly rejoicing. The ground filled with Rune Bombs had blasted the snake den badly. He felt that his decision to hide underground was quite wise, and there was a trace of pride in his heart.

After the battle, he immediately led the Scorpion Army to excavate outside North City.

However, he had never expected Li Xiang to be so crazy as to bury Rune Bombs deep underground. There were still a lot of them buried, and it was impossible to tell how many areas they covered or where they would appear.

Their Scorpion Army had been digging underground when it suddenly exploded.

What was even more terrifying was that after one explosion, the other Rune Bombs that had not been triggered earlier exploded one after another. They were buried too closely. It did not seem like a Rune Bomb planted outside. The distance between them was far enough. Even if one exploded, it would not affect the other Rune Bombs nearby and cause them to explode. They were still hidden underground, which made them feared.

However, the bombs were buried underground and were close to each other. When one exploded, a large number of Rune Bombs would explode simultaneously.

That kind of explosion happened in such a narrow underground space. The destructive ice and fire power instantly covered many Scorpion Warriors, and their bodies were blown to pieces.

Even Li Qing himself was covered by a large number of Rune Bombs.

If not for his powerful strength and the treasure he had with him, he would have been blown to pieces by the Rune Bombs. Even if they were lucky enough to survive the explosion, they were still blasted into a sorry state.

He was so angry that he climbed out of the ground, pointed at North City, and cursed at the Lord of Dawn.

Who would have thought that Li Xiang would be so sinister as to bury Rune Bombs under the city of his country, and so many of them at that? Was he not afraid that the Rune Bombs would turn the entire North City into ruins? He had never seen such a crazy person.

Such an opponent was too terrifying!
