Anyone laying eyes on that vast expanse of military camp would inevitably feel a surge of dread and despair. The leader of the rebels, Huoshen Guang, had commanded armies in war for many years and possessed peerless, rich experience. Although the camp was set upon a hillside, its surroundings were completely open, leaving no terrain whatsoever to be exploited.
It wasn't that Wanyan Yiyi and Nuannuan hadn't considered other methods; they had even thought of offering enormous sums of gold coins to recruit local mercenaries. Yet those mercenaries simply shook their heads upon hearing that the mission was to exterminate the rebels. Since the rebels belonged to the Vulcan Family, they might fail to complete the task while ending up covered in trouble.
Huoshenniao felt a tinge of regret in her heart. Had they come here directly two days ago, the barracks would at most have consisted of a few earthen houses and wooden palisades, certainly not the iron-clad fortress it was now. Harvesting a dragon for its blood was merely Huoshen Yan's personal request; even if they wanted to do it at the very end, it would still be feasible.
