The holand is the bottom line! How could Zhao Yun ever give up his holand? He would rather die in battle than allow the enemy’s iron hooves to tread upon even an inch of the Qin Empire’s land.
"Brothers, for the Qin Dynasty, for our faith, and even more for our families behind us, we cannot retreat! We shall not retreat! We can only fight the enemy to the death and carve a bloody path out of this adversity!" Zhao Yun turned and roared.
The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army remained stoic, offering no reply, rely tightening their grip on their weapons.
"Assault the city!" commanded the leader of the Poison Scorpion Guard.
Ten thousand Poison Scorpion Guards leaped into the air, their massive bodies hurtling toward the soldiers on the city wall.
"Kill!" Zhao Yun’s eyes hardened. His spear thrust out, piercing the body of a Poison Scorpion Guard. Blood splattered, staining the city wall red, as he then charged toward the leader of the Poison Scorpion Guard.
The two armies formally clashed in close combat.
Poison Scorpion Guards continuously scaled the city wall, engaging the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army. The clang of weapons, the shouts of battle, and the dying wails of soldiers resounded throughout the sky.
Bodies constantly fell from the city wall. So belonged to the Scorpion tribe, but most were the corpses of Azure Dragon Army soldiers.
This was the most brutal battle the Azure Dragon Army had ever experienced. Facing the formidable Poison Scorpion Guard, they had no choice but to fight desperately.
"Co on, you damned alien race!" a soldier, drenched in blood with a massive gash on his chest, bellowed, his eyes crimson as he charged at a nearby Poison Scorpion Guard.
CRACK.
The sharp blade sliced into the back of the Poison Scorpion Guard, drawing a spurt of fresh blood.
"ROAR!"
The searing pain in its back made the Poison Scorpion Guard shriek. Its body whipped around violently. Using its imnse montum, it flung the Azure Dragon Guard off, then swung its pincers, ready to crush the ant that had dared to injure it.
BOOM!
A mist of blood erupted on the city wall.
This was a snapshot of a soldier’s sacrifice, a microcosm of the battlefield.
Not long after, a breach was torn in Tianfeng City’s wall. The corpses piled beneath it were almost level with the ramparts. A dense Evil Qi billowed out, staining the heavens and earth a ghastly blood-red.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army, their eyes bloodshot, launched several charges, desperately trying to reclaim the section of the wall occupied by the Poison Scorpion Guard.
Unfortunately, after several attempts, they still had not succeeded.
"Charge! Take Tianfeng City in one fell swoop!"
At the rear of the battlefield, Scorpion Thorn nodded in satisfaction, a smile on its face as it gave the order.
In its view, the outco was already decided!
The war drums thundered, their heroic sound echoing as the million-strong army of the Scorpion tribe charged ferociously.
This is bad! Zhao Yun frowned deeply. Without the trebuchets to suppress them, the Scorpion tribe soldiers can easily swarm the walls. Unless the Azure Dragon Army can regain control of the city wall! But... is that even possible?
The strength of the Poison Scorpion Guard far surpassed that of the Azure Dragon Army.
"Brother Zi Long, worry not! I am here!"
Just as Zhao Yun felt completely helpless, a defiant shout ca from behind Tianfeng City. It was accompanied by successive tiger roars and carried an overpowering, dominant aura that seed to crush everything in its path.
"Brother Lv Bu!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yun was startled, then overco with ecstatic joy. He roared, "Brothers, rally yourselves! Our reinforcents have arrived! Kill!"
The Azure Dragon Army soldiers, who had been fighting a desperate battle, were instantly invigorated. Their morale soared, and they erupted with terrifying combat strength. This caught the Poison Scorpion Guard off guard, resulting in considerable casualties.
Of course, this did not an the Azure Dragon Army was stronger than the Poison Scorpion Guard.
This surge of power could only be maintained for a short while.
But that short while was precisely what they needed!
The Azure Dragon Army’s priority now was not to defeat the Poison Scorpion Guard, but to buy ti. Once the White Tiger Army joined the battle, the tides would turn.
"ROAR!"
A tiger’s roar resounded through the Azure Sky, the force of it making the eardrums of the Scorpion tribe soldiers throb. Many low-cultivation Scorpion soldiers even experienced temporary deafness.
A thousand-zhang White Tiger Battle Soul, as fierce as a tiger descending a mountain, plunged into the battlefield. It engaged the army soul conjured by the Poison Scorpion Guard in fierce combat.
"ROOOAR~"
With the White Tiger Battle Soul joining the fray, the pressure on the Azure Dragon Battle Soul instantly lessened. It let out a long cry, its eyes blazing, as it unleashed a terrifying attack and regained the upper hand.
The Qin Empire’s reinforcents have arrived? A bloody glint flashed in Scorpion Thorn’s eyes, but it continued to command its army to attack. Having pushed this far, it couldn’t afford to lose the hard-won advantage just because of a single reinforcing army.
"Kill them!"
Soon, the White Tiger Army joined the battlefield, beginning to retake the lost sections of the wall and inflicting enormous casualties on the Poison Scorpion Guard.
"Brother Zi Long, I made it in ti, didn’t I?" Lv Bu, mounted on a warhorse, ambled over, laughing heartily.
"Just in ti! With Brother Lv Bu joining us, Tianfeng City will surely be safe!" Zhao Yun looked up, a tired smile gracing his face, which was stained with the blood of the alien race. He visibly relaxed.
Lv Bu smiled mysteriously. "Haha, and I’m not the only one who has co!" Wielding his halberd, he dove into the battlefield. Anyone who obstructed his path fell beneath his blows as he hacked a bloody path through the enemy ranks.
Zhao Yun paused, a realization dawning on him, and a happy smile spread across his face.
「An hour later」
A Vermilion Bird, wreathed in blazing firelight, joined the battlefield. The three great Battle Souls attacked in unison, overwhelmingly crushing the Scorpion tribe’s two battle souls.
Scorpion Thorn’s expression darkened. Its twin pincers glowed with a bloody light, imbued with an aura of terror. It seed as though it was preparing to unleash a terrifying tactic, intent on slaughtering everything in its path.
However, for so unknown reason, it never unleashed it.
「Another hour passed」
The scorching air grew humid. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder rumbled. Amidst countless flashes of lightning, a Black Tortoise Battle Soul erged.
The expressions of Scorpion Thorn, Scorpion Shadow, and the other Scorpion leaders changed. Terrifying auras erupted from them, stirring the winds and clouds.
If they didn’t strike now, before the Battle Souls were shattered, their army would be ruined!
Thirteen Supre Saint auras and dozens of Saint auras erupted, seeming as if they would tear a hole through the Nine Heavens. They spread in all directions, startling over a dozen surrounding Dao Domains.
The gazes of powerful experts crossed the limitations of ti and space, focusing on Tianfeng City. Their expressions showed surprise, wariness, and killing intent.
The strength of the Scorpion tribe was now fully exposed.
"Attack together! Wipe out the Qin Empire!" Scorpion Thorn’s voice was filled with rage and a faint hint of regret. It should have listened to Scorpion Shadow earlier. Unfortunately, there’s no dicine for regret in this world. One wrong step! And every subsequent step is wrong! This display of power will undoubtedly alert our enemies. For the Scorpion tribe, which has only recently erged, this is not good news.
"Great General, look...!"
Just as the Scorpion leaders were eagerly preparing to display their might, Scorpion Shadow suddenly cried out, its pincers pointing towards the distant sky.
Scorpion Thorn looked in the indicated direction and saw hundreds of Flying Boats rushing toward them. Initially, it didn’t take them seriously. But when it saw the emblem on the Flying Boats, its expression turned to one of terror.
The Light God Divine Seal!
This seal represented the Divine Court of Light—their ultimate enemy.
"Retreat!"
Without hesitation, Scorpion Thorn ordered the retreat. The Light God’s Divine Court operated on the surface; their power was bound to be greater than that of the Scorpion tribe, who developed underground. It was necessary to avoid direct confrontation for now.
HOOOO...
The mournful sound of the retreat horn echoed across the battlefield.
The Scorpion tribe soldiers, still imrsed in the frenzy of slaughter, gradually ca to their senses. They hesitated for a mont, then begrudgingly retreated. They had co like a high tide and now receded just as swiftly.
