The loquat tree of days gone by now stood tall, its canopy spread wide

As the smoke and dust cleared, ten figures, their feet shattering the ice and shrouded in purple mist, slowly emerged.

Rock Giant nine stories tall,

Three-Headed Serpent Lizard with pus oozing from its mouth.

Corpse Bird covered in rotting stench.

Hunchbacked Old Woman with a sheep's head and a human body...

Ten auras, all at the Demigod level!

It was Lord!

Behind them, a vast array of Abyss Commander, Titled Douluo level, were densely packed and countless!

"Damn it..." Feng Xiaotian's nerves tightened, "It's a gang fight!"

Xue Beng was pale; this was his first personal campaign, aimed at consolidating the Crown Prince's position.

But nobody said they would defeat Tendai in their first battle!

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Dai Weisi rolled his eyes.

Tie Xiong also found it troublesome.

These Lord were only Demigod, weaker than him and the Pope.

However, a single unit of Quasi-God can at most hold back four Demigod.

Even if he and Bibi Dong were exceptionally strong, they could only manage a draw at best.

Unless Shui Yue'er intervenes, there's no way we can win!

But Shui Yue'er, beware of the enemy's spirit!

"What are you all standing there for!" Marshal Ge Long roared, "Reload the Soul Cannon! Quickly!"

The imperial artillerymen scrambled to load cannonballs.

But after only two rounds, they went silent.

The cannon barrel was glowing red-hot, and the ammunition handlers had blisters all over their hands from the heat.

"What are you doing?!" Ge Long roared in fury!

This firepower is completely ineffective against the monster's charge!

Now that it's sputtered, it's like it can't be contained!

"Marshal! The ammunition supply is running out!"

"The gun barrel is overloaded; it will explode!"

"We only have so many cannons; we can't rotate their firepower!"

Marshal Ge Long's vision went black.

Damn it!

If I had known it would be risky, I would have equipped the fleet with more cannons!

There are still shells left; once they're all used up, there are fewer left.

On the other hand, the Abyss charged upwards with a roar, replacing twenty with ten that died, showing no fear of attrition!

"Your Highness!" Ge Long shouted to Xue Beng, turning around, "The defenses are about to crumble! Please, Your Majesties, intervene!"

Before the Xue Beng could even open its mouth, Bibi Dong's cold laugh drifted over first.

"Marshal Ge Long is certainly good at scheming; he's unwilling to spend money himself, so he lets others cover the costs."

Ge Long choked, his face turning bright red.

Dai Weisi and Xue Beng looked at each other, both blushing with embarrassment.

During the years that the Abyss was intimidated by the Long Night Alliance, they not only failed to increase their military strength.

Instead, due to the resistance to military reform, it has been delayed again and again, and even the equipment is not complete!

I've heard that defensive Soul Tool already exist?

The Imperial Army still only has a handful of offensive weapons, such as the Three-Eyed Icefire Guns!

The defenses were under strain in less than a quarter of an hour after the battle began!

Xue Beng's lips trembled, and just as he was about to plead again, a strange sound suddenly reached his ears.

Whoosh--whoosh--whoosh--

"No!" Xue Beng's eyes lit up.

Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!!!

A streak of blazing white light streaked across the sky.

It exploded among the monsters.

They might even blow up the commander!

The Abyssal Monster was terrified and stopped in its tracks.

"That's..." Dai Weisi turned around.

Further back, there were neat rows of silver-gray turrets.

The gun barrel is glowing red; it is being reloaded.

Thousands of taxi soldiers dressed in the Long Night Alliance uniforms are operating the artillery emplacements.

Loading, aiming, firing—three people per group, each with their own task.

Their proficiency surpasses that of the Empire by more than several times!

What stunned the Xue Beng even more were the commanders and soldiers!

"Team one, three o'clock; Team two, six o'clock!"

The young man had short white hair, wore a simple brown shirt, and had glasses perched on his forehead.

Standing beside him was a young girl, who, despite being in the prime of her youth, possessed a maturity beyond her years.

"Oscar?!" Xue Beng nearly fell to the ground.

A former support-type Soul Master from the Shrek Academy has become a commander?!

"Your Majesty, the Iron-Blooded Emperor, this..."

Tie Xiong shrugged. "I'm facing off against the enemy; command has been temporarily transferred to him."

"He's familiar with Soul Tool, and has been loyal and reliable to the Alliance Leader since Shrek Academy."

Xue Beng opened his mouth, "Then... what about that girl?"

"Oh," Tie Xiong chuckled, "Veya and Oscar are a couple."

"He must be of noble birth," Xue Beng pondered, "Otherwise, how could he be so composed and outstanding?"

Tie Xiong chuckled, "Does your empire have a noblewoman named Veya?"

"She comes from a humble background in Arctic Town and achieved her current success through her own hard work!"

"Although the leader and Oscar helped her a lot."

The Xue Beng's expression suddenly became priceless!

Your alliance is truly full of talented people!

As they spoke, the Long Night Alliance's artillery array had already fired five rounds in unison.

They blasted a barrier right in front of the defense line.

Even so, the defenses remained strained.

The commanders were all Titled Douluo. Although they suffered losses due to underestimating their opponents, they all became serious once they regained their senses.

The enemy did not retreat, and Xue Beng thought a fierce battle was about to begin.

Unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived!

But they were students wearing school uniforms!

"Eternal Night Soul Tool Academy!" he exclaimed.

He rode Soul Tool Flying Device, wore a dark blue academic uniform, had his school badge pinned to his chest, and had dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night to finish drawings.

Liu Erlong personally took action, along with a fat old man whom I didn't recognize, but whose aura was quite formidable.

"If you want a high score, hit it hard!"

"This is your graduation exam!"

"If you don't kill a single monster, you're guaranteed a zero!"

"Furthermore, the top thirty students will receive a scholarship consisting of ten rare, century-old Immortal Herb!"

"Zui Hongchen" put down the megaphone, and the students erupted in cheers!

Usually there are only one or two plants; are they being so generous today?

With their teachers and mentors providing guidance, they were able to unleash their full potential!

The trumpet-shaped Soul Tool —take a deep breath, and unleash a sonic wave!

The low-level monsters were all left with low health, their eardrums ruptured!

There was also a slingshot, but it launched soul-guided homing missiles instead.

He targeted commanders, but was eventually defeated by Titled Douluo- level opponent.

"Senior Kateleis, your missile has been intercepted!"

The handsome senior student remained calm and composed. "I'll let him pinch me."

"My grandpa's socks that he hasn't washed in eighteen years!"

The missile cracked open!

Resident Evil!

The commander had no idea what socks were.

Pinch it to your nose and smell it.

Absolutely hilarious!

Hahahaha!

Laughter erupted from the air.

Enraged, the commander charged forward to fight!

Senior Kateleis yelled and rode off on his broomstick.

Just when it seemed they were about to be caught, Fire Dragon suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

"Get out of here!!!"

Liu Erlong erupts!

She is now Titled Douluo, although she has just been promoted.

But the Fire Dragon was incredibly powerful, and its commander was directly defeated!

Even those Zui Hongchen are going crazy for their year-end bonuses!

The Xue Beng left them speechless.

Many forces, however, were fascinated.

That's right! That's right!

That's the firepower!

It's exactly the power they imagined!

Those with ulterior motives have already planned how to recruit them after the great battle!

The rich give money, the powerful give power, the poor marry off their daughters, and the strong take on apprentices!

"Dean, take it easy!" a student shouted. "Leave some for us!"

Only then did Zui Hongchen reluctantly stop.

Under his leadership, the academy effectively inflicted massive casualties on the monsters.

Their initial momentum was immediately suppressed!

Some cowards have already deserted!

Seeing his subordinates being forced to retreat by the surprise attack, the Abyss Lord could no longer remain seated.

"Damn it!" the Rock Giant grumbled. "Forget the turrets, kill that fatso first!"

The Hunchbacked Old Woman chimed in, "Those brats are too wicked, let's get rid of them first!"

All ten Lord rushed towards the teachers and students of Changye.

However, they were captured by Tie Xiong and Bibi Dong.

"Gentlemen," Tie Xiong said with a half-smile, "Have you all forgotten about us?"
