Feather Forest Army Shows Its Might! Invincibility Aura Slays the Commander-in-Chief, Great Victory!

Lin Junyu led the Feather Forest Army and quickly charged to the front of the Demon central army.

Looking at the Demon soldiers holding shields and spears, Lin Junyu realized that if they could not quickly open a breach,

even if the Feather Forest Army managed to force their way through, they would still lose some men.

Lin Junyu rose to his feet, stepped onto the head of his galloping warhorse, and leaped straight over the heads of the Demon shield bearers.

He raised his spear high and smashed it down at their heads with all his strength.

The immense force sent the surrounding Demon soldiers holding shields flying the moment Lin Junyu landed.

A gap instantly opened in the Demon central army's shield wall. To prevent it from being immediately sealed,

Lin Junyu thrust his spear like a dragon and charged at the Demon soldiers closing in from every direction.

One Demon soldier after another was struck dead and flung away by his sinuous spear technique, clearing an open space around him.

The Feather Forest Cavalry behind him seized the chance to charge into the enemy formation. Lin Junyu sprang into the air with a flip,

then landed atop the warhorse running toward him and rode away with ease.

The entire Feather Forest Army entered the enemy's encirclement, yet instead of being trapped, they were like wolves unleashed among sheep, their ferocity thoroughly awakened as they slaughtered wildly.

With Lin Junyu as the lead wolf, they continued carving forward.

Every Demon soldier who rushed over to stop them was killed or even sent flying.

"Not good! Their target is the commander-in-chief's camp! Stop him!"

The Demon generals were dumbfounded as they watched this cavalry force slaughtering its way forward like madmen.

Every defensive line before them was like paper, repeatedly torn apart and breached under the leadership of that young general in golden armor and a silver helmet.

Their target was the main camp where the commander-in-chief's banner flew.

They were here to behead the commander-in-chief!

By now, every Demon soldier had been stunned senseless by this army that was powerful beyond reason.

As long as they came near and exchanged blows with them, they would feel an irresistible force crashing down upon them, impossible to withstand.

"Quick! Prepare the archers and crossbowmen! Shoot them down!"

Seeing that they could not defeat them head-on, the Demon generals immediately ordered their ranged troops to fire.

"But, General, our soldiers are still within the firing range!"

"I said shoot them down immediately! Stop their advance at once!"

"Yes!"

The ranged troops drew their bows, nocked their arrows, and loaded their crossbows. At the command to fire, a dense rain of arrows flew toward the Feather Forest Army.

Charging at the very front, Lin Junyu saw the arrow rain rapidly closing in and swiftly gave the order to abandon their horses and raise their shields.

As the arrows fell, every Demon soldier within their range lost their lives. In their place stood only enormous turtle shells formed from wooden shields.

The wooden shields were already filled with arrows. These were the rattan-armored shields Lin Junyu had ordered made in the city—light, convenient, capable of blocking arrows, and essential for surprise assaults.

"Change formation! Wedge formation, charge!"

Following the order, every Feather Forest soldier swiftly took position, forming a forward-pointing triangular formation and charging ahead.

"Archers, keep firing!"

Wave after wave of arrows poured down. Lin Junyu could only order everyone to raise their shields above their heads and advance under the arrow rain.

By the end, the shields were packed with arrows and nearly ruined.

Lin Junyu could only discard the shields and order everyone to accelerate forward.

The surrounding area was now full of gaps, and the ground was littered with Demon soldiers killed by their own arrows.

Ahead was the final line of defense around the central camp. Beyond it lay the enemy commander-in-chief.

"Kill!"

All the Feather Forest soldiers immediately sprinted forward beneath the arrow rain. Though they wore iron armor, many arrows still struck unprotected areas, and many men fell during the final stretch of the charge.

"Quick, notify the commander-in-chief to withdraw!"

Watching the charging army, drenched in blood and looking like demons crawling out of hell,

the Demon generals knew they might not be able to stop them. The commander-in-chief had to be moved at once.

"Hmph, you bunch of trash. You cannot even stop an army of fewer than eight hundred men, and you let them charge right up to my formation?"

"You want me to withdraw? What a joke! I have never feared anyone in my life. If I leave, the entire camp will descend into chaos. If the army is defeated and His Majesty the Divine Emperor holds us accountable, will you take responsibility?"

"Bring me my armor at once. It has been a long time since I last fought. It seems the world has forgotten that I am the second greatest expert of the Demons. They actually dared to come assassinate me with only eight hundred men!"

"Tell the five thousand God Guards to prepare. It is time to show the world the fangs of the elite army I have raised for so long. Back then, when I lost to Lin Xingyuan, he merely succeeded through a sudden ambush by the powerful archers he trained."

"For all these years, the heavy cavalry of God Guards I trained have wanted to wash away that humiliation. Let this force that came to die spill some blood for my precious soldiers!"

Outside the main camp, chaos had already erupted. Lin Junyu's spear technique was broad and fierce, and no one could get close to him.

With only a little over six hundred men remaining, the Feather Forest Army continued advancing with unstoppable momentum under Lin Junyu's lead.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A violent rumble of hoofbeats rose, making the entire ground tremble.

"Brat, state your name! You dared to come kill me with only eight hundred men. You have courage. You are qualified to let Shaluoluo, the second greatest expert of the Demons, know your name!"

A fully armed cavalry force thundered out from the main camp. At its head was a Demon clad in purple armor.

Lin Junyu casually killed a Demon soldier blocking his path, then fixed his gaze on the man questioning him.

"Shaluoluo? The Demon commander-in-chief? I thought you were hiding in your tent, too scared to come out. Remember this—the man killing you is the third prince of the Luminous Empire!"

Seeing his target before him, Lin Junyu accelerated. His lightness skill was graceful as he swept over the heads of one Demon soldier after another, arriving before Shaluoluo in an instant.

He raised his spear and thrust forward. The sheer force warped the air around it.

"Bold! I will kill you first, then wipe out your subordinates! I did not expect to catch such a big fish this time—a member of the imperial family."

Shaluoluo looked at Lin Junyu charging toward him. He felt no fear, only excitement.

Lin Xingyuan was dead. This third prince must be the new leader of the legion.

If he killed him and left the Southeast Legion leaderless, then launched a full-scale offensive, it might be possible to annihilate this legion and take Bartley City!

He raised his saber. The inner power he had cultivated for decades erupted in that moment, instantly blocking Lin Junyu's attack.

This was the strongest opponent Lin Junyu had faced since revealing his strength. The formidable inner power displayed by his opponent was considerably stronger than his own.

Combined with his opponent's years of battlefield experience, Lin Junyu actually fell into a disadvantage for a time.

"But fortunately, I have the Invincibility Aura!"

Lin Junyu spotted an opening. His opponent swept his saber toward him, aiming for his neck.

But that also exposed a huge defensive opening before him, so Lin Junyu drove his spear straight forward with all his strength.

Shaluoluo had no time to dodge. The instant his saber struck Lin Junyu's neck, Lin Junyu's spear pierced through his heart.

"Pfft! How could this be?!"

He had never imagined that Lin Junyu would fight in such a reckless, life-risking way. His saber strike should have certainly killed him, yet Lin Junyu had abandoned defense and still attacked.

Wait!

Why could my saber not cut into his neck? I clearly used all my strength!

With deep confusion, he lost consciousness and returned his soul to the earth.

Until his death, he would never understand that Lin Junyu had only dared to do this because he possessed the Invincibility Aura.

"The Demon commander-in-chief is dead!"

"The Demon commander-in-chief is dead!"

Seeing His Highness display such overwhelming might and kill the Demon commander-in-chief, every surviving Feather Forest soldier shouted excitedly, their voices carrying across the battlefield.

"Dead? Our commander-in-chief is dead? What do we do now?"

"Is he a god? Blades and spears cannot harm him—why could the commander-in-chief's saber not cut through his neck?"

In contrast to the Feather Forest Army's excitement, all the Demon soldiers surrounding Lin Junyu were terrified and confused.

This man was too powerful. He had effortlessly killed their commander-in-chief, known as the second greatest expert of the Demons.

Lin Junyu slowly turned his gaze toward the remaining high-ranking Demon generals.

Caught in Lin Junyu's chilling killing intent, every Demon general was terrified. Even the commander-in-chief had been killed—would killing them not be easy?

Run. They had to run. They could not remain here. The commander-in-chief was dead, and the enemy still had five hundred thousand troops watching hungrily. There was no point in continuing the battle.

Some Demon generals who valued their lives immediately began retreating with their personal guards.

"Retreat!"

"What are you doing? We cannot retreat! We still have a million soldiers! They have fewer than eight hundred men—what are you afraid of?"

Some bloody-minded Demon generals still shouted, wanting to lead their armies in holding the line.

But the surrounding army had already fallen into disorder. Clearly, they had learned that the commander-in-chief was dead.

Their calls to keep fighting were swallowed by the tide of chaos, and the frenzied retreating crowd pushed them backward.

"Avenge the commander-in-chief!"

Across the battlefield, only the Demon God Guard heavy cavalry, trained by Shaluoluo for many years, still possessed morale as they charged madly at Lin Junyu.

All the Feather Forest soldiers quickly regrouped. They faced the enemy's heavily armored cavalry on foot.

Bolstered by the Valor Aura, they relied on their tremendous strength and physical prowess to seize the heads of the charging horses by force, bringing their charge to a halt.

"What kind of strength is this?"

The only answer was fist after fist as large as sandbags. Six hundred warriors stood in a line.

They hacked with blades while smashing with their fists, like an unbreakable wall. Of every cavalryman who charged them, only an empty horse made it through.

This sight completely terrified the Demon soldiers around them, who had already been thinking of retreating.

"Ah! They are demons! Run!"

Everyone immediately began fleeing, afraid that if they were even a second too slow, they would be grabbed and punched to death.

Standing high atop the city wall, Zichuan Mingyue naturally saw the chaos erupting in the Demon central army far in the rear.

"Sound the horns, fire the signal! The entire army, attack!"

"Woooo—"

The long, resonant horn blast echoed across the battlefield, and every legion soldier who had been holding their positions in readiness was thrilled.

After being beaten down by those half-beasts for so long, they could finally take revenge.

General Qu, who had been lying in wait in the forest behind them, saw the signal in the sky and immediately directed his army to attack from the rear, stabbing straight into the rear of the Demon formation.

News of the commander-in-chief's death spread through the million-strong army like a plague and quickly reached the front lines.

The half-beasts, whose will to fight had already been weak, immediately displayed astonishing skill at fleeing once the Demon elite troops were no longer there to supervise them under the commander-in-chief's command.

All the half-beast armies at the front retreated like a tidal wave, as if by unspoken agreement. Whoever ran slowest would die.

"Stop! No retreating! Get back there!"

The Demon elite troops still trying to supervise the battle nearly went mad as they watched the half-beasts flee in panic.

The formations of the other miscellaneous legions were instantly crushed by the fleeing half-beast forces, then relentlessly hunted down by the five hundred thousand Southeast Legion soldiers charging forward as a whole.

The million-strong Demon army was now beyond saving!

The Battle of Bartley ended in a great victory!
