Along the border, countless soldiers were melted away with almost no power to fight back. Only when faced with power like the might of heaven did they truly feel their own insignificance.
Yet even before they died, these soldiers were still thinking of the Heaven Dou Empire-or rather, of their hometowns.
The empire must survive this. Our elders, our loved ones-we're counting on the reinforcements behind us to protect them.
The three rounds of fire unleashed by the Soul Engineer Corps were almost suffocating. The bombardment blanketing the hills and plains lasted a full half hour.
When the fire gradually subsided and the smoke cleared, the entire battle line had turned charred black. Every cluster of buildings, along with the ground beneath them, had been leveled into deep craters.
The Heaven Dou Empire's thousands of years of preparations vanished beneath the torrents of flame spewing from the Sun Moon Empire. All that remained was devastation as far as the eye could see, and shell craters too numerous to distinguish.
"Advance!"
The commander of the Terror Claw Soul Engineer Legion, who had been ready for some time, shouted, and a pair of golden claws sprang from his arms.
These were close-combat Soul Tools modeled after the Beast King Xiong Jun, the super Soul Beast hailed as the king of destruction in the Star Dou Forest. Besides the Legion Commander himself, every Soul Engineer in the Terror Claw Soul Engineer Legion had one of these Terror Claw Soul Tools, which excelled at close-quarters combat.
This was also the fundamental reason Ju Zi had assigned the Terror Claw Soul Engineer Legion to lead the charge. No other division was better at close-quarters fighting. Even against Soul Masters of the same level, Soul Engineers equipped with Terror Claw Soul Tools were generally still stronger!
