Qian Renxue: You Act Like You Know Him Better Than I Do
Dai Weisi and Ye Hua exchanged glances, then Davis strode towards the camp gate.
He shoved aside the guards who were trying to stop him and looked into the distance, where the surging tide of beasts was already approaching!
"All troops, listen to my command!" Dai Weisi drew his longsword, its blade pointing directly at the beast tide. "Three-Eyed Icefire Guns Gunners, take your positions!"
"Firepower! Keep the beast horde pinned down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thousand gunners in front of the Star Luo Empire knelt down on one knee in unison, pointing their guns forward.
Ice blue and crimson erupted, unleashing Qian Daoliu!
Rumble!!!
The explosion was deafening!
The beast tide crashed into an iron wall!
The barrage of ice and fire blasted the infected Soul Beast charging at the forefront to pieces!
A thick, dark green liquid splattered across the snow, hissing as it went.
"Okay!" Dai Weisi turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Qian Renxue behind him.
Qian Renxue stood there, her expression indifferent, neither replying nor looking at her for long.
He merely tilted his head slightly, gesturing to the Heaven Dou generals behind him to remain still.
Meanwhile, deafening cheers erupted from the direction of Arctic Town.
"Well done!"
"Amazing!"
"Our community is saved!"
The remaining Soul Master of the Far North Town all rushed to the back of the defensive fortifications, and watching the horde of beasts fall in droves, they were moved to tears.
Even the usually composed Hote couldn't help but grin, and his Soul Hunting Group raised their voices to cheer him on.
However, the atmosphere within the Heaven Dou Empire's army gradually became subtle.
Many soldiers lowered their heads, gripped their weapons tightly, and gritted their teeth.
Someone glanced furtively at their Crown Prince, only to find that Qian Renxue remained calm.
"Your Highness," a Heaven Dou general asked in a low voice, "Arctic Town is, after all, Heaven Dou territory. If Star Luo Empire were to gain too much influence here, what would His Majesty think..."
Qian Renxue waved her hand, her eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Don't rush, let Dai Weisi play for a while."
The general opened his mouth, but ultimately retreated to his original position.
Our own people are cheering for the army of another country!
Where do these soldiers put their faces?
On the front lines, the gunners unleashed fierce firepower, and the barrage of bullets was overwhelming. As expected, the advance of the beast horde was suppressed, and they even began to retreat!
"Good! Push them forward!" Dai Weisi's spirits soared, his longsword pointing forward. "Advance, commander! Push the beast tide back to the edge of the forest!"
The Star Luo Empire's army roared in unison, pressing forward as a whole.
The barrage of bullets from the Three-Eyed Icefire Guns, accompanied by synchronized marching steps, rolled like an iron wall towards the beast horde.
The infected beast roared and charged forward, but it couldn't even get within fifty meters before it was blown to pieces on the snowfield.
Ice shards and blood mist filled the air as the Star Luo Empire ' boots pounded through scorching craters, pushing forward under the pressure!
"Brother Dai, that's impressive!" Ye Hua smiled.
After this battle, sales of Soul Guidance Weapon will only improve!
"That's all thanks to your Three-Eyed Icefire Guns!" Dai Weisi said proudly. "I'll have to buy more later, so don't be stingy!"
Ye Hua nodded, "As long as the money is in place!"
Dai Weisi was also afraid that Ye Hua's team, from the Heaven Dou Empire, wouldn't sell him weapons!
In hindsight, it was nothing but needless worry!
Let alone the strength of the Long Night Alliance, how could the Heaven Dou Empire possibly win them over!
Just the fact that he and Ye Hua share a common enemy, Dai Mubai, is enough for him to cultivate a good relationship!
However, among the Seven Great Sects, the attitudes of several within the Star Luo Empire are ambiguous, and they may be about to take action.
After the battle is over, I'll have to remind Ye Hua!
Dai Weisi surveyed the battlefield and calculated the time.
Good, the battle should be over before tonight.
"See that?" Dai Weisi smirked. "That's the art of firepower!"
"Your Highness!" The general of the Heaven Dou Empire could no longer tolerate it.
"Don't rush," Qian Renxue said calmly.
Dai Weisi, however, only sensed her fear and arrogantly snorted.
However, just as the Star Luo Empire advanced to within a hundred feet of the forest, the movements of the vanguard musketeers noticeably slowed down.
The loading and firing speed is nearly 30% slower than initially.
Dai Weisi's brow twitched slightly as he glanced at his adjutant beside him.
"Your Highness," the lieutenant said with a wry smile, "The gunners have been firing continuously for over half an hour, and their Soul Power has been depleted by more than half!"
"How about we switch to the second team?"
Dai Weisi remained unfazed. "Change! Second team moves up, first team retreats to rest!"
Upon receiving the order, the gunners prepared behind the Star Luo Empire quickly filled the gaps.
However, the handover between old and new defensive lines will eventually lead to a reduction in firepower.
In a mere ten breaths' time, the beast tide, which had been suppressed and unable to lift its head, suddenly erupted!
Countless infected beasts leaped from the snow, opening their blood-red maws, and launched a frenzied counterattack!
"Hold on!" Dai Weisi roared.
However, the lack of firepower during the handover period proved to be a fatal flaw.
The dozen or so gunners at the front were tackled before they could even put their guns away.
The infected beast's claws and fangs instantly tore through armor and flesh, and screams were drowned out by roars.
"Hold on!" Dai Weisi personally summoned his Martial Soul and rushed to the front line.
The tiger's claws slammed down, sending a large number of infected beasts flying!
The Star Luo Empire displayed astonishing resilience.
Even if it means losing an arm, a leg, or even having your shoulder bitten through!
The soldiers all gripped the triggers tightly!
With his last breath, he unleashed a barrage of bullets upon the beast horde!
He wouldn't let go until his teammate filled in!
"This is the military discipline of my Star Luo Empire!" Dai Weisi saw that the handover of the defensive line was complete, and without lingering for battle, he wiped the blood off his face.
Qian Renxue finally looked up. "Brother Dai, your taxi driver is indeed tough, but he's a bit too cold-hearted."
"Let the wounded fight to the very end on the battlefield, just as ruthless as your struggle for the throne."
Dai Weisi's face immediately darkened. "What did you say?"
Qian Renxue ignored his anger and simply raised her hand and pointed forward.
"The Heaven Dou First Legion, deploy on both flanks and take over the defensive lines on both sides."
With a wave of the command flag, the Heaven Dou Empire's army, which had been holding back, swiftly took its positions.
The silver and sky-blue armor reflected a chilling light on the snow-covered plain.
They were all seething with anger, wishing they could use their superior victory to crush the Star Luo Empire's arrogance!
The Soul Master left behind in Arctic Town, seeing their own army finally appear, could finally shift their cheering focus!
"One row, kneel!"
"Second row, crouch!"
"Three rows, standing!"
The commands were short and sharp.
Qian Renxue stood with her hands behind her back, watching the soldiers work in an orderly fashion.
"Three-stage firing, maintain intervals, no advancing!"
In an instant, the firepower of the three rows of gunners burst out in a stepped rhythm.
After the first platoon finishes firing, the second platoon takes over; when the second platoon fires, the third platoon moves in.
It goes on and on, endlessly.
Like a relentless storm!
Compared to the Star Luo Empire Army's ferocious attacks, the Heaven Dou Army's firepower is relatively weak.
But their strength lay in their steady and methodical approach; each volley of fire forced the beast horde back several steps!
What shocked the Star Luo Empire the most was that the firepower on both flanks of the Heaven Dou not only stabilized their own positions, but also covered the beast tide in the middle, relieving the pressure on them!
"This..." Dai Weisi's arrogant expression froze, his face shifting. "The Crown Prince of Heaven Dou actually studies battle tactics?"
Qian Renxue turned her head away. "Although I was born within the high walls, I am not spoiled. Similar tactics have long been circulating in our army."
"But as for this battle tactic, it's really not something I researched."
Dai Weisi was stunned. "Who is that?"
"Night Alliance Leader," Qian Renxue said calmly.
"What?!" Dai Weisi exclaimed in shock. "He taught you this too?!"
Qian Renxue glanced at him and let out a soft snort.
You act like you know Ye Hua better than I do!
I have a younger sister who married him, and I've heard about his nightly revelry. Do you have one?
This tactic was used when Salas and his men attacked Ye Hua on their way to the finals in Spirit City, only to be taught a lesson by Ye Hua's subordinates!
The knight commander of the escorting caravan silently memorized the battle tactics and returned to tell Xue Ye, who then promoted them throughout the army!
The gunfire of the Heaven Dou soldiers remained steady, and the front line gradually advanced, eventually reaching the edge of the forest!
"Don't let them into the forest, just keep them out," Qian Renxue ordered.
But as soon as the army carried out the order, waves of spiritual energy emanated from the forest!
Tie Xiong, Qian Daoliu, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's expressions changed drastically!
The mutated Soul Beast tide receded amidst its roars!
The generals were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
