"Boom, boom boom boom..."
As dawn's light began to show, the Imperial Court's army instinctively launched an attack amid drumbeats as dense as raindrops.
"Kill!"
The Imperial Court's soldiers had hollow eyes and were already numb, charging into battle purely on instinct.
"What? The Imperial Court actually dared to launch an attack on its own?"
Seeing the Imperial Court's army charge out from behind its defensive line, the rebel forces stared in astonishment.
The Imperial Court's army had always been beaten into hiding by them. Since when had they dared to charge out and face them head-on?
"Something's wrong. There must be something behind this."
"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be a demon at work. Everyone, be careful."
"Do not let your guard down."
"..."
The Imperial Court's army was acting against all reason. Suspecting some scheme, the rebels became even more cautious.
"Kill!"
The Blacksteel Camp took the lead, charging into the battlefield like a sharp blade driven straight into the rebels' heart.
"Pfft!"
"Ah!"
"Urgh!"
"..."
As the two sides clashed at close quarters, rebel soldiers fell in swathes like wheat, utterly unable to contend with the Blacksteel Camp.
Most of the rebel soldiers were ordinary commoners forcibly conscripted into service. How could they possibly withstand the Blacksteel Camp?
"Hahaha, this feels great! This feels great!"
"Military merit! It's all military merit!"
"Kill them!"
"..."
This was not an evenly matched battle. It was more like a one-sided slaughter.
"Marquis and general... Marquis and general..."
Within the army, Su Xinghai's eyes were bloodshot, dense blood aura swirling around his body. It was as though he possessed inexhaustible strength.
He muttered under his breath as he continuously cut down enemies.
"What a terrifying army. It can rival more than a hundred thousand elite troops."
