"Marshal Ge Long, Sister Tian Meng, convey my imperial Imperial Decree: take Jialing Pass at all costs."

Just as Yu Tianmeng and Ge Long were hesitating, Xue Ke suddenly gritted her teeth and decisively said.

With the opportunity to break through Jialing Pass right in front of her, Xue Ke, young and ambitious and holding imperial power, inevitably became a little arrogant. How could she be willing to retreat?

Moreover, in a battle between two armies, the brave prevail. Tiandou Empire Army is rolling forward. Even if the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Legion is powerful, it only has 50,000 men. How can it withstand the impact of a million-strong army?

With this wave of dragons charging in, how could we possibly lose?

Thinking of this, Xue Ke suddenly drew her sword, pointing the blade at Jialing Pass, and shouted in a deep voice, "Whoever scales the city walls first will be granted the title of Imperial Earl! Whoever breaches Jialing Pass first will be granted the title of Imperial Duke! Killing a Spirit Hall Soul Master will earn you Platinum Medal and the title of Baron!"

As the saying goes, a great reward will surely attract brave men. The hundreds of thousands of armored cavalry, who originally intended to retreat, were greatly encouraged by the Your Majesty the Queen's reward and launched another attack on Jialing Pass.

Behind the Cavalry Legion, the Golden Swan Imperial Banner representing the Heaven Dou Emperor continued to move forward.

Because at this moment, Xue Ke has personally led the Magic Guidance Camp and the Divine Machine Camp, as well as a total of thirty heavy infantry legions of ten thousand men, to support the vanguard cavalry!

However, the garrison at Jialing Pass was not so easy to deal with.

Although the allied forces' seven heavy corps were routed and suffered heavy casualties in the previous attack, the three Imperial Guards heavy Cavalry Legion of the Barak Kingdom that subsequently reinforced them, as well as the Holy Dragon Legion of the Spirit Hall, suffered almost no damage and still possessed formidable combat power.

Moreover, as the battle line advanced to the vicinity of the city wall, the allied forces and the Holy Dragon Legion below the city wall could receive a great deal of assistance from the defenders on the city wall. The dense rain of arrows and the giant crossbow bolts as thick as a human arm shot down the armored cavalry of the Heaven Dou Empire who were attacking!

In just a few moments, the moat in front of Jialing Pass, which was fifty meters wide, was completely stained red with blood.

The moat was filled with corpses, two-thirds of which were the bodies of routed Allied troops. The vast majority of these routed soldiers had been pushed into the moat and drowned in their panic.

The remaining third consisted of the corpses of the Tiandou Empire Ironclad Cavalry who had attempted to build a pontoon bridge over the moat and storm Jialing Pass.

From atop the city wall, Bi Bi Dong's sharp gaze swept across the battlefield below. She coldly declared, "The time has come. Order the Holy Dragon Legion to battle, and the Angel Legion to stand by! Remember, to defend against the Heaven Dou Empire's Divine Machine Camp, the Soul Master Legion must be led by high-level Soul Master, preferably defensive Soul Master!"

"Yes, sir!"

Beneath the city walls, the Holy Dragon Legion, which had previously stood still, finally launched a swift counterattack!

Although the Holy Dragon Legion had more than 10,000 Soul Master, their movements were perfectly synchronized, and the colors of their Soul Ring were exactly the same.

Standing at the very front were almost all Soul Master of Soul Saint 70 or above, numbering over two hundred.

Their primary mission was to act as a sharp vanguard, crushing the Tiandou Empire Army that stood in their way, and incidentally, blocking the devastating attacks from the Divine Machine Camp and the Magic Guidance Camp.

Behind them stood a massive ranks of Soul Emperors, Soul King, Soul Ancestor, and so on, up to Soul Elder of level 30 and above.

These ten thousand Soul Master were divided into several groups based on their different Martial Soul and cultivation directions.

The first few hundred Soul Master came from the White Armor Earth Dragon Sect, which was second only to the Upper Three Sects in strength among the Seven Great Sects.

Every disciple of the White Armor Earth Dragon Sect is covered in a layer of white scales, and has a strong and robust body; this is their Martial Soul, the White Armor Earth Dragon.

The White Armor Earth Dragon is not a true Dragon Clan, but merely a sub-dragon, far less powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Martial Soul.

However, they are dragons after all, and the current leader of the White Armor Earth Dragon Sect, Tuo Ba Xi, has already broken through to the Title Douluo realm with the assistance of the Spirit Hall, and is known as the Holy Dragon Douluo.

The White Armor Earth Dragon Sect also changed its name to the Holy Dragon Sect.

Behind the Holy Dragon Sect were several hundred Soul Master from the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Seven Great Sects, known for its defense and strength.

The disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect were all over two meters tall, giants like iron towers. Led by their sect leader, Hu Yanzhen, they strode forward, charging alongside the Soul Master of the Holy Dragon Sect.

Now, Hu Yanzhen, after receiving the pills originally belonging to the deceased Surname Ye Transcender from Bi Bi Dong, has also broken through to level 91 and is known as the Heavenly Elephant Douluo.

Although the two sects together have fewer than 700 disciples, they are the core of the entire Holy Dragon Legion and possess formidable combat power.

Moreover, both the White Armor Earth Dragon and the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul are the most suitable to appear on the battlefield!

The armored cavalry of the Heaven Dou Empire were like paper in front of them! In just a quarter of an hour, the two Tiandou Empire Cavalry Legion that stood in their way were completely overwhelmed, suffering heavy casualties!

Seeing this, Xue Ke, who was watching the battle, immediately became anxious. She turned to Ge Long beside her and said, "Marshal Ge Long, order the Divine Machine Camp and the Magic Guidance Camp to attack and annihilate the Holy Dragon Legion!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ge Long clasped his hands in a salute, then waved his command flag and said, "The Divine Machine Camp, inspect the crossbows and load them. The Magic Guidance Camp, prepare for three-volley fire!"

As soon as Ge Long finished speaking, the 30,000 soldiers of the Divine Machine Camp quietly removed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow from their backs and immediately mounted them amidst a series of clanging sounds!

The ten thousand soldiers of the Magic Guidance Camp formed small square formations in three rows.

The first rank of soldiers knelt on one knee, holding Miniature Soul Guidance Cannon horizontally. The second rank of soldiers placed the Miniature Soul Guidance Cannon horizontally on the shoulders of the first rank of soldiers, while the third rank of soldiers stood by.

Once preparations were complete, Ge Long abruptly waved his command flag and shouted in a deep voice, "Divine Machine Camp, crossbows, fire!"

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, 30,000 Divine Machine Camp soldiers pulled the triggers almost simultaneously, firing the Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

A dense swarm of black crossbow bolts formed a dark cloud in the sky, obscuring the sun's rays, and in an instant spread to the front of the Holy Dragon Legion, reflecting the brilliance of death!

Meanwhile, at the main camp of the Tiandou Empire Army, Xue Ke's beautiful eyes were fixed on the battlefield ahead, her hands clenched tightly, anxiously awaiting the actual combat results of the Divine Machine Camp!

After all, the Divine Machine Camp was an expensive army that she had spent over a hundred million Gold Soul Coin to arm!

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

As the rain of arrows, like a dark cloud, pierced through the Holy Dragon Legion's ranks, instantly, vast plumes of blood mist rose up, and the Holy Dragon Legion's Soul Master fell like wheat being harvested! Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the entire battlefield!

However, Xue Ke soon discovered that the seemingly powerful volley of nearly 500,000 crossbow bolts had only managed to kill a few hundred Soul Master of the Holy Dragon Legion.

Moreover, almost all of those who were shot to death or wounded were low-level Soul Master below level 50 Soul King.

"How so?"

Xue Ke frowned slightly, then gritted her teeth and said, "Marshal Ge Long, pass down the order to continue the volley!"

Soon, under the command of Ge Long, the Divine Machine Camp fired two more rounds, emptying all the bolts from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and forcing them to reload.

Faced with the three volleys of fire from the Divine Machine Camp, the Holy Dragon Legion suffered only a little over 500 low-level Soul Master killed or wounded, with only a little over 200 completely wiped out.

This result left Xue Ke completely bewildered.

Seeing Xue Ke's gloomy face, Ge Long immediately broke out in a cold sweat and explained, "Your Majesty, under Bi Bi Dong's command, the Holy Dragon Legion's vanguard consists of Diamond Mammoth and White Armor Earth Dragon Soul Master with extremely high defensive capabilities. The first two rows are even Soul Saint and Soul Douluo level powerhouses."

"Faced with such a strong defense, the Divine Machine Camp was still able to inflict more than 500 casualties on the enemy, which is already quite good."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Soul Master are, after all, extraordinary beings. To kill or wound more than five hundred of them in one go is already an extraordinary achievement. Even three hundred thousand armored cavalry couldn't do that!"

Yu Tianmeng also chimed in at the opportune moment.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Isn't there still the Magic Guidance Camp? Let them go!"

Tang Yuehua's reminder instantly restored a glimmer of hope to Xue Ke.

Seeing this, Ge Long immediately ordered, "Magic Guidance Camp, three-volley fire, open fire!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

A tremendous roar of salvo erupted, and countless Soul Guidance Ray shot towards the Holy Dragon Legion like dazzling streaks of light!

In just one glance, huge plumes of blood mist rose into the sky once again!

Ordinary Soul Master fell one after another in an instant. Even the Soul Master of the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, who were known for their defensive power, could not withstand the Soul Guidance Ray formed by Soul Power and fell to the ground one after another, resulting in heavy casualties!

Only Soul Saint and Soul Douluo- level powerhouses could withstand such a terrifying barrage head-on!

This time, the number of the Holy Dragon Legion Soul Master who died under the beams of the miniature magic cannons was far greater than that of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow volley just now!

More than a thousand Holy Dragon Legion Soul Master perished on the spot!

With just one volley, they wiped out one-tenth of the Holy Dragon Legion's Soul Master. The Magic Guidance Camp's combat power was simply astonishing!

"Excellent! Excellent! That's fantastic! The salvo of magic cannons is truly powerful; those old men at the Imperial Royal Research Institute do have some skill!"

Xue Ke was so excited she almost jumped up.

Although the distance was too great and there were too many people to see the exact number of enemy casualties, the blood mist rising from the Holy Dragon Legion's formation showed just how heavy the casualties were for the Spirit Hall's Soul Master.

Moreover, this is only the beginning.

After the first rank of Magic Guidance Camp soldiers finished firing their volley, the second rank of Magic Guidance Camp soldiers continued firing without pause, and then the third rank...

Even after the three-stage attack, despite the powerful defensive Soul Skill displayed by the two titled Douluo Hu Yanzhen and Tuo Ba Xi, the Holy Dragon Legion still suffered more than two thousand casualties among its Soul Master!

Such heavy casualties completely extinguished the fighting spirit of the once unstoppable Holy Dragon Legion, causing their formation to collapse instantly, and many Soul Master began to retreat!

As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a landslide. When a small number of Soul Master began to retreat, it quickly triggered a chain reaction, causing a large-scale collapse.

The most terrifying thing is that the higher Soul Master's Soul Power, the faster they can run away during a retreat.

They either leaped over the low-level Soul Master located at the rear of the legion, or directly smashed them aside like bulldozers, or even took to the air and flew backwards towards Jialing Pass.

As a result, those high-level Soul Master who were originally at the forefront quickly rushed to the back.

However, this left the vast majority of low-level Soul Master and support-type Soul Master exposed to the hundreds of thousands of armored cavalry of the Heaven Dou Empire.

While warhorses might not be able to catch up with high-level Soul Master on short distances, they simply cannot outrun these low-level Soul Master and support Soul Master.

Seeing the opportune moment, the experienced Ge Long immediately ordered, "Cavalry Legion, launch the charge immediately!"

Soon, the Tiandou Empire Ironclad Cavalry, who had been slaughtered by the Holy Dragon Legion, finally had a chance to rise up and, amidst the tremors of the earth, chased after the collapsing Holy Dragon Legion!

The entire Divine Machine Camp mounted their horses and reloaded the Zhuge Divine Crossbow from horseback, preparing to unleash another barrage of arrows!

At Jialing Pass, Bi Bi Dong watched helplessly as the Holy Dragon Legion suffered heavy casualties and continued to retreat, with large numbers of support-type Soul Master and low-level Soul Master falling down. She closed her eyes in anguish.

Even though she knew the original plot and the time traveler, she still couldn't change the Holy Dragon Legion's crushing defeat!

"Teacher, we must rescue the Holy Dragon Legion immediately!"

Seeing that Bi Bi Dong was standing there dumbfounded and didn't move at all, Hu Liena immediately tried to persuade her.

However, Bi Bi Dong still did not react.

She was already somewhat mentally broken by the time traveler's attack.

"Teacher, you..."

Seeing that Bi Bi Dong was still standing there blankly, Hu Liena stomped her foot in anger, looked around, and shouted, "Elders, come with me."

Before she finished speaking, Hu Liena's delicate body suddenly soared into the air from Jialing Pass and swooped down directly towards the camp of the Heaven Dou Empire's army!

The titled Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall hesitated for a moment, but then immediately followed suit!

"The Qingqiu Divine Sword!"

Hu Liena conjured a cyan longsword, which swelled in the wind and transformed into a giant sword a thousand meters long. She then unleashed a powerful slash!

In an instant, the armored cavalry of the Heaven Dou Empire, who had been happily chasing after the Spirit Hall's Soul Master, suffered a devastating blow!

More than 10,000 armored cavalrymen were crushed to death by the Qingqiu Divine Sword, which was as huge as a mountain!

Behind Hu Liena, more than twenty elders of the Spirit Hall unleashed their wide-range attack Soul Skill!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

With a continuous roar, three entire Tiandou Empire Cavalry Legion were wiped out!

Seeing that the Spirit Hall had actually dispatched more than twenty Title Douluo at once, and that they showed no regard for martial ethics whatsoever, the experts on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire were immediately enraged!

Led by Yu Tianmeng, Sword Douluo, and Yu Yuanzhen, more than ten Title Douluo shot out and engaged in a fierce battle with the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall!

At the same time.

It is thousands of miles away from Jialing Pass.

Spirit City.

A Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud floated in the sky, and on the cloud stood a handsome young man in purple robes.

The young man was Zhou Chen.

Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Spirit Hall was tied up at Jialing Pass, he drove straight in and arrived at the core of the Spirit Hall, Spirit City!

Looking down at Spirit City, Zhou Chen muttered to himself, "Qian Renxue, I've arrived."
