I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Roar!

The sound of roaring was incessant, and at the junction of yellow earth and the wasteland outside the Earth Ant Ancestral Land, the ground was covered with Earth Ant bones, forming a chasm that Earth Ants found insurmountable.

The Earth Ants charging out from the Ancestral Land couldn’t break through the overwhelming rain of arrows at all. These giant arrows, forged with fine iron, were imbued with Gold Element Witch Runes, making their sharpness even more intense, easily piercing through dozens of Tier Three Earth Ants.

Tier One and Tier Two Earth Ants would merely become inconsequential ornaments strung up by giant arrows.

"Elder, save us!"

Some Earth Ants cried out for help; this wasn’t a battle but a suicide mission.

Charging all this way, without even seeing the Human Race, they first faced fiery arrows and fireballs; with great difficulty they charged out, only to encounter a rain of giant arrows.

Fortunate enough to break free from the rain of giant arrows, they finally saw the lined-up Human Race, crashing headlong into the war chariots.

The Earth Ant Race may be stubbornly headstrong, but it depends on what they collide with.

The scattered Earth Ants who avoided being crushed by the war chariots finally clashed with the Human Race’s Heavy Armored Soldiers, and both sides began a brute force slaughter.

The Human Race War Soldiers, organized into a formation of seven hundred and twenty, wielded heavy blades a yard long, with the front and rear ranks spaced ten yards apart.

As the first row swung their swords, they directly stepped on the shattered remains, regardless of whether this swipe killed the Earth Ants, they’d keep advancing.

Next, the second row of Armored Soldiers would step forward, swinging their swords down again.

Even if an Earth Ant leapt during the formation, it would fall into a certain row’s front line.

As for the Earth Ants using their blood energy, or even witchcraft on their sheep horns, the victories they achieve are few and far between. Facing the Earth Ants’ attacks, a row of Heavy Armored Soldiers would easily tear through the incoming Earth Ant assaults with a swipe of sword qi.

The heavy armor, having carefully layered Witch Runes, also constructed a framework inside the armor tailored to fit each soldier’s body.

The Heavy Armored Soldiers who fell under impact would lie still, allowing subsequent soldiers to step over them.

In the absence of gaps, the rear Heavy Armored Soldiers would move forward to fill the position.

So when the entire Heavy Armored Soldier squad passed, if the fallen ones could stand up, they would immediately catch up with the formation, supplementing the rear battle array.

Because of the Witch Runes imprinted on the armor, and the internal Hook Armor Bone support, most times even if they fell and were trampled by comrades, they would remain unaffected.

Compared to which, they just had a stiffer movement.

However, the Heavy Armored Soldiers weren’t fighting based on speed; sacrificing speed to enhance defense power was totally worthwhile.

Under such formidable protection, the survival rate of Heavy Armored Soldiers greatly increased. Unless they faced a frontal collision from a high-speed running Earth Ant, or a direct hit from Earth Ant’s blood energy or witchcraft attack, even knocked-over soldiers could continue fighting.

As for the Heavy Armored Soldiers’ loss of speed, it’s supplemented by cavalry and scattered soldiers of varying numbers, who roamed around the Heavy Armored Soldiers, carrying a variety of weapons including spears, gilded hammers, bows and arrows, handheld Witch Bullets.

The main purpose was to strike at groups of Earth Ants, preventing them from clustering and disrupting the Heavy Armored Soldiers’ marching routes.

Over a thousand-mile-long battle lines, the roar and cries of battle were deafening, blood energy rising.

Some Earth Ants were terrified, yet others were provoked to a frenzy, after all, though they were a wise race, they still hadn’t escaped the realm of beasts.

Along the thousand-mile front, a group of Earth Ants aggressively charged forth. After breaking free from the Armored Soldiers’ killing, upon lifting their heads under the sunlight, a dark city wall shimmered with metallic luster in the sunshine.

"When did the Human Race build a fortress?"

"Charge past, smash this city wall!"

"The frail Human Race only use some despicable means."

The Earth Ant roars were everywhere, having charged all the way here, with the elders watching from behind, they had no choice but to plunge forward and utterly crush the Human Race.

The Great Wall built by the Alliance wasn’t that tall, just a little over three yards, clearly visible and embossed with interlocking runes.

In battles, it was normal to carry a Great Wall with you.

No, they carried two.

Depending on the situation, if the Earth Ants still had the momentum, a second Great Wall would be placed behind the first.

On the city head, giant crossbows had been laid flat.

Greeting the incoming Earth Ants, the giant arrows whistled outward.

"Roar!"

A Tier Four Earth Ant swirled its blood energy, deflecting the incoming giant arrows; then leapt, its horn gleamed, gathering a light brown sphere.

Just as the sphere appeared, a flaming arrow fired from the Human Race’s direction, shot by a Tier Four Garrison Soldier, wielding a giant crossbow over a yard in size, with a golden arrow as thick as a baby’s arm.

With one arrow, the Tier Four Earth Ant’s witchcraft was shattered instantly.

Immediately following, he drew a second arrow.

Previously, on the path when encountering Earth Ant resistance, because our side had far more Divine Treasures and the Earth Ants had far fewer, we were a bit ruthless in the fight for capture, which led to reprimand.

Anyone who destroyed Earth Ant Divine Treasure corpses in order to dispute seizure faced immediate punishment, and part of their merit was confiscated.

Currently, merits in the Alliance are valuable, exchanging for Cultivation Treasure Medicines, caves, Witch Weapons, even Cultivation Techniques, Witch Arrays and more. As long as you have enough merit, you can even request High-tier Martial Artists to oversee your breakthrough in realm.

The confiscation of merits cut deep into everyone’s flesh.

In this regard, whether Blazing Flame or any other branch executed it without discrimination.

...

"Why is that Tier Five Earth Ant lingering in its original place without coming out? Could it be something confining it?"
