And that was indeed the case. Early the next morning, after the Self-Defense Army's soldiers had eaten their fill, they launched an attack on He Qin's military camp. After a night's rest, Jiang Hao's mental power had recovered to its peak.
Riding Big Hen to the enemy camp's entrance, he unleashed Fire Whirlwind without another word. The wooden fences, barricades, and abatis before him instantly burned to ashes.
A battle of annihilation began.
But their opponents were not to be underestimated. Although He Qin was dead, the Northern Barbarians still numbered in the tens of thousands. Had their morale not plummeted, and had they not been fighting separately, the Self-Defense Army would have had to pay a tremendous price to defeat them.
Fortunately, with Jiang Hao, this Combat Chicken, present, a Fire Whirlwind combined with a Wind Orb sent the Northern Barbarians fleeing in disarray, wailing for their fathers and mothers. Since this was a battle of annihilation, it lasted an entire day and night. Chubby and the others led their men in pursuit for dozens of li. In the end, everyone exhausted their mental power and had no choice but to fight hand to hand.
This happened to be the forte of the Self-Defense Army soldiers, whose skin had been enhanced. They annihilated the enemy almost without losing a single soldier, allowing not one to escape. By the morning of the third day, the battle to defend Shenzhou finally ended.
This battle of annihilation had not only demonstrated the Self-Defense Army's might, but also frightened the tens of thousands of troops from the Cangling Kingdom on the other front into withdrawing from Ten-Thousand Dragon Mountain overnight, terrified of suffering the same fate.
After the battle ended, Shenzhou City, which had been sealed off for months, also welcomed the dawn.
