The Final Decisive Battle!

"You damned bastard!"

"What Death Row General? He's a death row convict, yet he dreams of becoming a general!"

"Once this battle is over, I'll personally chop off his head!"

Within the Mad Dragon Camp of the Divine Phoenix Army, Zhang Dalong's furious roar echoed through the military tents.

Clearly, not only had Zhang Dalong's desire to kill Ding Hao not weakened during this time, it had instead grown stronger by the day. He had discovered that Ding Hao had actually become much stronger again.

That rate of advancement had long since left him deeply uneasy!

"General Zhang is right!"

"They're just a bunch of death row convicts. What the hell are they?"

"They actually dare to compete with our Mad Dragon Camp for merit on the battlefield!"

Even the soldiers of the Mad Dragon Camp under his command were filled with resentment!

After all, within the Divine Phoenix Army, had there ever been a time when their Mad Dragon Camp had not been unmatched in bravery and claimed the most military merit?

Yet now they had been suppressed by the Death Row Camp. It was simply turning heaven and earth upside down!

They were all holding back a bellyful of anger, determined to give the Death Row Camp something big sooner or later!

Meanwhile, within the Death Row Camp.

During this period, Ding Hao could naturally sense the increasingly intense killing intent coming from Zhang Dalong, but he did not care in the slightest!

First, he knew Zhang Dalong would not dare to attack him openly!

Second, after this period of northern campaign, his strength had already risen greatly!

With a slight movement of his mind, his character attribute panel emerged!

Host: Ding Hao

Realm: True Martial Realm, Third Layer

Vitality: 58,900

Spirit: 1,230

Comprehension: 2,550

Luck: 0 (None for now)

Talent Bloodline: Primordial Barbarian Bloodline (Thirty-five percent), Innate Strength...

Possessions: Mysterious Iron Saber, Golden Silk Soft Armor, Mysterious Treasure Map (One corner)...

Compared to before, many changes had occurred in his character attributes.

First was his realm. Through picking up corpses on the battlefield during this period, he had risen from the initial First Layer of the True Martial Realm to the Third Layer.

Second, the Primordial Barbarian Bloodline, Heavenly Tyrant Body Art, One Qi Cultivation Method, Three Talents Saber Technique, and all kinds of True Meanings had all made considerable progress!

All in all, his strength was already no longer what it had once been!

Though he was still a notch below Zhang Dalong, he believed that before long—perhaps even before the northern campaign ended—his strength would absolutely have a chance to surpass Zhang Dalong.

By then.

It would no longer be Zhang Dalong killing him, but him slaying Zhang Dalong!

As for the Mad Dragon Camp's anger, most people in the Death Row Camp did not care either!

After all, they were death row convicts to begin with, people meant to die. What was there to fear from the Mad Dragon Camp!

"General Ding!"

"Army Lord Luo sent me to summon you. Your Death Row Camp has a mission!"

At that moment, a Divine Phoenix Army soldier came looking for Ding Hao. No one found anything improper about the title of general in the other party's words.

"Alright!"

Having received the order, Ding Hao closed the panel and arrived at the large tent where Luo Shenhuang was located.

Only upon arriving did he discover that he was not the only one summoned. Ding Yishan, Zhang Dalong, and the other Divine Phoenix Army generals had all come.

Ignoring Zhang Dalong's hostile gaze, Ding Hao greeted Ding Yishan. Through their conversation, he learned that a great battle was about to take place!

Sure enough, Luo Shenhuang went straight to the point. "Everyone, we have received definite news. Man Potian, the Commander of Northern Barbarians who previously suffered defeat, has gathered and consolidated all the remaining barbarian forces, numbering around one hundred and fifty thousand. He intends to fight our Divine Phoenix Army in the final decisive battle across the open plains a hundred li outside the Northern Barbarian Royal Court!"

"If we win this battle, we can trample the royal court beneath our hooves and destroy the Northern Barbarians!"

"Oh?"

Ding Hao raised his brows, clearly seeing the merit of Slay the General once again!

Luo Shenhuang continued, "There will be no assassinations this time, no ambushes. Under the Divine Phoenix Army, the Mad Dragon Camp, Town Mountain Camp, Divine Machine Camp... including the Death Row Camp, the entire army will advance!"

"This time, our Divine Phoenix Army will crush the Northern Barbarians' last remaining forces in a single stroke on the frontal battlefield. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!!"

Zhang Dalong, Ding Yishan, Ding Hao, and everyone present shouted in unison.

What a joke!

Previously, the Divine Phoenix Army had won a great victory with one hundred and fifty thousand men against three hundred thousand. Now that it was one hundred and fifty thousand against one hundred and fifty thousand, what was there to fear!

"Good. Then let the entire army break camp and prepare for the final decisive battle!"

At last, with a single command from Luo Shenhuang, the Divine Phoenix Army began its march.

The Mad Dragon Camp, Town Mountain Camp, Divine Machine Camp, and Death Row Camp were all fully armed. Their iron-blooded killing intent intertwined and shook the heavens!

Two days later, the Divine Phoenix Army encountered the Northern Barbarian Army in a stretch of wilderness.

With one glance, the enemy and allied forces appeared nearly equal in number, both numbering around one hundred and fifty thousand. They were densely packed, like black tides rolling across the land.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Woooo! Woooo! Woooo!!

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the muffled, murderous war drums and horns, the armies of both sides immediately roared and launched a frontal charge at each other!

In but a short while, the two armies collided like two raging tides.

For a time, battle cries, miserable screams, and furious roars rose to the heavens. The front lines seemed to turn into a gigantic meat grinder, with severed limbs flying through the air, blood and shattered bones spraying everywhere. It was bloody and brutal!

"Brothers of the Death Row Camp!"

"We are death row convicts to begin with. There's nothing to fear!"

"Charge with me! Break the enemy ranks with me! Take the Northern Barbarian commander's head directly!"

Ding Hao could be seen leading the Death Row Camp in a savage charge at the first opportunity!

Under his leadership, countless death row convicts erupted with the courage to survive only after being driven into a dead end. Furthermore, during this period, the death row convicts had not only eaten and drunk well, but even their equipment had become no different from that of ordinary soldiers.

As a result, the Death Row Camp's combat strength was not inferior to that of ordinary Divine Phoenix Army soldiers in the slightest—perhaps even three parts more terrifying. After all, as death row convicts, they were far more willing than normal Divine Phoenix Army soldiers to risk their lives and fight to the death!

Moreover, the Northern Barbarian soldiers of today not only numbered far fewer than the former main Northern Barbarian force, but their quality was also uneven. Some barbarian soldiers were sallow and emaciated, not even as sturdy as Great Zhou soldiers.

Moments later, Ding Hao led the Death Row Camp deep into the barbarian army.

"Mad Dragon Camp, kill with this general!"

On the other side, Zhang Dalong also roared as he led the equally unwilling-to-yield Mad Dragon Camp soldiers forcefully into the Northern Barbarian Army.

Just as before, Zhang Dalong would not easily allow Ding Hao to seize the merit, nor did he want the Death Row Camp to overshadow their Mad Dragon Camp!

"Charge, charge, charge!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"The final battle!"

Seeing how fierce the Death Row Camp and Mad Dragon Camp were, the remaining Town Mountain Camp, Sever River Camp, Divine Machine Camp, and the others naturally refused to fall behind.

Under the leadership of Ding Yishan and the other generals, they all launched savage charges.

As a result, in but a short while, the Northern Barbarian Army, despite clearly possessing equal numbers, was forcibly crushed beneath the Divine Phoenix Army's advance!

In the end.

Ding Hao and Zhang Dalong, charging at the very front, spotted the position where Man Potian, the Commander of Northern Barbarians, was located at the exact same moment!!
