The Thunder Titan flew into a rage when he heard Amigel's undisguised declaration!

"The glory of the Titans, even if it sinks into this corrupt world, is not something you ants can shatter!"

"Amigel! You once knelt humbly before my toes, begging for my mercy. Now, I will give you one more chance! Kneel, and you may live!"

Perhaps because that deadly threat within the Goblin camp had never disappeared, the proud Thunder Titan decided, for the first time, to spare these people.

Of the eight Titans present, only three were adults. The rest were still juveniles.

Even their nearly hundred-meter heights could not hide the fact that they were merely legendary.

For the sake of the Titans' continued survival, Yateli had yielded.

But Amigel shook his head. He stared resolutely at the mountain-like giant before him and shouted!

"Yateli, I despise you for the humiliation you inflicted on me! From that day onward, I could never kneel again!"

With that, he raised the Spear of Amigel in his hand, shot into the air, and attacked the Thunder Titan Yateli!

"Today, we shall annihilate the Titans! All troops, charge with me!"

To challenge a demigod as a legendary warrior-what courage, what a deed worthy of song!

Behind Amigel, the million-strong army of the continent's various races watched him stride through the air into battle. Inspired, their morale soared, and they charged toward the Titans' forces.

The war erupted at once!

Blades clashed between the two armies, and bodies collided! In a mere instant, the savage fighting reached its peak.

But the fiercest fighting took place on the battlefield between Amigel and the Thunder Titan!

The expected sight of Amigel being killed with a single blow by the Thunder Titan, or retreating, never materialized.

Instead, vast waves of crimson blood energy blazed from Amigel's body like a column of beacon smoke piercing the heavens. With such an overwhelming aura, how could he be merely legendary?

He was clearly a powerful demigod!

From what Jiang You knew, this was a demigod knight, an advanced form of the Blood Knight lineage!

Who would have thought Amigel was a demigod too!

Meanwhile, each of the other two demigod Titans was locked in combat with more than a dozen legendary Goblins!

Of the remaining five Titans, three were held back by three legendary warriors from the trolls and dwarves, while the other two were surrounded and attacked by two seemingly elite Goblin armies!

One of those armies was Amigel's Yellow-Robed Guards.

Ferland's legendary warriors were not invincible. Though they had the strength to fight ten thousand men and possessed immense destructive power, mortals below the legendary level could still kill them!

In the future, a well-trained legion of ten thousand soldiers would be able to slay even a long-established legendary warrior!

Only upon seeing this did Jiang You understand why Amigel dared to contend with the Titans!

The Goblins' reserves of strength were truly unfathomable.

More than twenty legendary warriors and one demigod! No wonder they could establish the vast empire of the second chapter.

But since he had chosen a side, he would fight to the end.

He watched countless Eaglemen, Griffins, Hippogriffs, flying magical beasts, and wolf bats take flight behind the Titan army ahead.

At the head of the Winged People's formation, Jiang You raised his Bronze Longsword and roared.

"Today is the battle that will make our Winged People's name! We will tell those swine flying in the sky that the heavens are our battlefield!"

"Grip our bows! Hold fast to our swords! Defeat them!"

"Let their heads become the steps that carry us into the ranks of the continent's mighty races!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Mount Proadas was an enormous mountain jutting up from a plain, the only lofty peak in the otherwise bare surroundings.

It was hard not to wonder whether it was man-made or a marvel of nature.

This place, also known as the Pro Plain, measured no more than a thousand li in either length or breadth. Nightwhisper Forest bordered it to the west and south, an oval lake lay to the east, and a long, narrow mountain range adjoining the northern grasslands lay to the north.

With its high skies and vast expanses of cloud, this place was naturally suited to the Winged People's aerial warfare.

Facing an enemy aerial force of nearly a hundred thousand, Jiang You did not lead his ten thousand Winged People into direct close combat.

He directed them to fly higher and loose volleys of arrows at the enemy from a distance. When the enemy desperately tried to close in, they pulled away.

Whenever they truly could not widen the gap, the Winged People in the front ranks voluntarily dropped their bows, drew the longswords at their waists, and used their flesh and blood to stop the Eaglemen, Griffins, and Hippogriffs from approaching!

Ranged suppression from high above was lethal!

Even Griffins, magical creatures with powerful individual strength and even transcendent wind powers, were sent scrambling for cover under the might of such a fighting force and its shameless tactics!

Those who had never witnessed ten thousand arrows loosed at once could not understand its terror!

Many years later, this battle remained an eternal sore point for the Eaglemen, for with claws instead of hands, they could never master archery!

And so, Jiang You and his troops led the Titan faction's aerial force of nearly a hundred thousand on a wild chase.

Unfortunately, Jiang You did not see the Eaglemen King among this vast army of Eaglemen.

Perhaps, although the Eaglefolk had sided with the Titans in this battle, they were not necessarily willing to commit their full strength.

This was true not only of the continent's various races in the Titan faction, but also of those in the Goblin faction.

Even races such as the trolls had tribes fighting on the Titans' side.

Everyone had selfish motives, let alone these old foxes who had lived so long.

Very few races had truly brought all their elite troops to this battle that would determine supremacy over the continent of Ferland, as Jiang You had.

This was also one of the reasons the Goblin King treated the Winged People so courteously. Jiang You had indeed demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment!

Several hours later, the battle in the sky ended. After suffering three thousand casualties, the Winged People claimed the final victory!

With that, the Titan faction's aerial forces were swept from the skies over Proadas!

Afterward.

The Winged People returned to the rear camp to replenish their spent arrows, ate some food, rested for a while, and set out again.

The war was not over yet!

Jiang You ordered the Winged People to harass the Titan faction's tribal armies freely in squads of fifty, while he led several hundred transcendent Winged People to join the encirclement and slaughter of the Titan Giants!

When he returned to the sky and looked down over the land.

Across the Proadas Plain, the bodies of the millions-strong armies littered the ground, and blood flowed in rivers.

The Titans and the legendary warriors of the Goblin-allied races fought to the death.

Only then did he notice why a dozen or so legendary Goblins could fight supreme demigods such as the Titan Giants: every legendary Goblin held a strange alchemical device!

Within the Goblins' central army, there was also a camp filled with peculiar alchemical creations, pouring fire at the Titans.

To Jiang You, these things looked remarkably like the super cannons of his previous life!
