Boom! Boom! Boom!

The howling wind whistled in my ears, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell from the sky above.

The harsh, low-temperature environment constantly draws heat away from the body, forcing people to cover their cuffs and collars tightly.

Zhu Tian, who was much taller and stronger than the others, walked up to the top of the city wall. As he looked into the distance, a desolate white world came into view.

The snow scene was truly breathtaking when I first saw it; the beauty of nature was overwhelming.

However, Empress, he got used to it.

This is the Angulo City.

The easternmost gateway to Seka Fortress, although there are two or three towns nearby, they are too small to support an army of hundreds of thousands, but they are a good choice for cavalry.

Zhu Tian originally intended to lead these five hundred disciples to Volga City, but unexpectedly encountered a large wave of defeated soldiers coming from there. After inquiring, he learned that Volga City had been captured and General Baiya had died in battle.

Left with no other choice, he gathered the defeated soldiers and brought them to the Angulo City, then ordered the local governor to send men out to continue receiving them.

It was eventually learned that the number of these defeated soldiers was as high as 60,000 to 70,000.

Zhu Tian laughed at that moment.

Nearly 100,000 men were slaughtered by a mere 5,000, fleeing in utter disarray and utterly disgracing the imperial army!

However, the more information he learned, the more he understood about the enemy's situation.

He already knew about the invulnerable underwear, the Swordsmanship that produced light and shadow effects, and the strange yet powerful Physical Arts skills before he was transported here.

However, there was a terrifying being who could control flames and Physical Arts were so strong that they were like a monster. Even General Baiya, who possessed the "Youzhi's Pants" Shingu and the first-level Danger Beasts "Polar Tiger," could not last five minutes against this being.

This was the first time Zhu Tian had ever heard of it.

However, it shouldn't be long before we meet again, unless their goal isn't to take over the capital city of Seka in the rear!

"Lord Rakshasa!"

Just then, Ramsen, the governor of Angulo City, arrived.

A bald, forty-six-year-old man, dressed in thick winter clothes and followed by several guards, ran up the city wall, panting and exhaling white smoke, clutching an opened envelope in his hand.

"Um?"

Zhu Tian turned around in confusion. "Prefect, what's going on?"

"Lord Rakshasa, this is a letter that just arrived in the Imperial Capital. Its contents are simply unbelievable. I need your help to examine it!" Ramsen Ramson explained breathlessly.

"Okay, just a moment."

Zhu Tian nodded, then took the envelope and took out the letter inside. He found that there were two letters and a lot of information on them. It took him a full five minutes to read them all.

"Invaders from Otherworld."

Honestly, if it weren't for the Emperor's seal on the envelope and letter paper, Zhu Tian felt he would have thought it was some kind of prank.

But considering what's happening now, he thinks it might actually be true.

At the same time.

The information about 'Logia Devil Fruit User' mentioned in the letter also caught his attention.

"Elementalized Haki"

Zhu Tian murmured to himself. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the situation, three knights rushed into the open city gate, dismounted, and ran up the city wall.

The next moment.

One of the knights loudly reported to Zhu Tian, "Lord Rakshasa, the enemy is rapidly approaching, and they are about seven or eight li away from here!"

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became deathly silent.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Tian first burst into laughter, then looked boldly at the silvery-white world outside the city and shouted, "Well done! I want to see if they have the ability to be a match for the Imperial Fist Temple!"

Really.

The mere mention of the name "Imperial Fist Temple" brought renewed excitement to everyone, including Ramsen Ramson.

Yes!

They now have experts from the Imperial Fist Temple helping them!

"General Browning, the rest of the army is now in your command. Just proceed according to the previously established plan." Zhu Tian looked at the silent, armored general standing to the side.

"This humble general will certainly do his utmost!"

Zhu Tian was a pure martial artist and naturally didn't know how to command an army, so he simply handed the army over to the garrison general of Angulo City.

Logically speaking, the opponent's rank should not be able to control so many troops.

But what time is it now? Nobody wants to stick to the old ways. Otherwise, what would happen to these hundreds of thousands of troops?

[Boom!]

The city gates below swung open with a roar, and squads of white-armored soldiers, armed with spears and bearing resolute expressions, trudged through the thick snow to form ranks a hundred meters away, ready for battle.

That chilling aura of war began to permeate the cold wind and snow, and whenever the cold sunlight swept across, the formation reflected a dense array of gleaming weapons.

To be honest, the soldiers in this snowy northern region are of very high quality.

They are strong-willed, hot-blooded, and inherently possess a fighting spirit; otherwise, this place wouldn't be the most sought-after source of soldiers for the Imperial Army.

About twenty minutes later.

A series of rumbling sounds, carried by the cold wind blowing from the front, reached everyone's ears.

Before long, General Browning, Governor Ramsen, and the soldiers holding automatic rifles standing behind the city walls all saw black dots appearing on the distant horizon.

As the two sides got closer, the black dot became clearer and clearer.

Really.

Those were black-clad swordsmen riding heavily Heavy Motorcycle, maintaining a distance of about ten meters between each other. This resulted in a visually vast effect when the number of them, though less than five thousand, was fully spread out.

"Wrong!"

Just then, General Browning saw through his binoculars that a large number of black vehicles, equipped with turrets and cannons, were appearing behind the black-clad knights, yet capable of speeding on their own.

He could roughly estimate that there were about two hundred of them just by a quick glance, and he was certain that there was no information about them among the various intelligence he had gathered before.

"Um?"

Just then, General Browning noticed that the black vehicles were coming to a stop one after another.

The black-clad knights in front seemed completely oblivious to the imposing military formation that had already arrayed itself, which continued its relentless charge like a black torrent.

[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]

Scorching Huoguang erupted from the black muzzles of the cannons, followed by sharp whistling sounds as they pierced the air.

Before the soldiers of Angulo City could react, one after another, huge fireballs exploded in the army formation, devouring hundreds of lives.

However, many more people died from the Shockwave generated by the explosion.

"Heavy artillery!"

General Browning stared grimly at the scene of carnage below, until the first shell landed on the city wall not far away, blasting a huge hole in it, and he realized the true power of these shells.

He didn't understand.

Why can those gun barrels, which don't appear to have a large caliber, produce power comparable to heavy howitzers?

Regardless, he still made what he believed to be the correct command: to send men to order the cavalry to flank the black, mobile artillery from both the left and right wings!

As for the main battlefield.

We can only place our hopes on Lord Rakshasa and his disciples of the Imperial Fist Temple.
