However, despair does not mean giving up. (Fastest novel updates)
Amid a series of calm bugle calls and roaring shouts, the nearly 100,000 soldiers of the two empires who had been marching at the back of the column suddenly abandoned their frantic run. Instead, they picked up their tattered weapons, turned around, stopped, and faced the charging enemy.
Their expressions were calm yet resolute, their eyes pure yet burning. After simply forming a sniper formation, they roared in unison and charged headlong towards the army that outnumbered them several times over on the southern horizon.
A brave man cuts off his own arm!
These 100,000 people, like those who continuously burned their lives to rush towards their fellow martial artists, were determined to sacrifice their own lives to create time for their companions to escape.
They were simply throwing their lives away.
However, this tragic and heroic scene failed to move the cruel and cold-blooded enemy.
"Those pesky flies!"
Faced with the onslaught of the lowly warriors below, Kao Shaoyi finally became extremely impatient.
He took a small step in the void, and instantly an invisible force surged and raged from his massive body, creating an indescribable, immense pressure between heaven and earth.
Bang bang bang bang!!!
Instantly, a large number of warriors from both countries were blasted to their deaths by the shockwave.
The terrifying pressure of a Extreme Dao expert caused the grassland below to ripple like a hurricane, with the grass undulating and ordinary people unable to even stand.
"El Shaarawy, Cassano, Milito, Palacio... I am unwilling to crush these fragile ants, but do not test my patience. I will give you three more breaths. If you do not come out, I will utterly annihilate the last remaining strength of these two great empires that you have painstakingly protected before your very eyes!"
Kao Shaoyi's maniacal and arrogant laughter echoed between heaven and earth.
Beheading four Young Supremes from two great empires would be a tremendous achievement, enough to grant him another divine blessing upon returning to the Church headquarters, doubling his strength and giving him hope of ascending to Godhood. Therefore, his target this time is Shaarawy and the others.
As for the ordinary soldiers of the two great empires?
From the very beginning, neither the Church nor the Juventus Empire intended to preserve this remnant army that held the last embers of both empires. The Judgment Divine Knights and the Juventus Empire's [ Touch of Darkness ] cavalry regiment were more than capable of completely annihilating these more than 400,000 people in the Bay of Naples.
From that time on, the two great empires of Blue-Black and Red-Black ceased to exist on the Azeroth Continent.
Everything will be buried in the roaring waves of the Bay of Naples and the dust of history.
From this day forward, the Central Region Continent will belong to the Holy Church.
Based on Kao Shaoyi's understanding of Shaarawy and the others, he believed that at this moment, the four Young Supremes would definitely stand up to protect their people and subjects.
However, this time, no matter how much he shouted and threatened, Shaarawy and the others did not appear from beginning to end.
Looking down, all he could see were countless heads flashing on the ground, people running around in an orderly fashion like ants, and he couldn't sense the presence of the four Young Supremes.
On the ground.
The four seriously wounded Cassano were forcibly carried on the backs of the officers around him, struggling to break free.
A group of people mingled in the crowd and raced towards the other side of the Bay of Naples. With less than twenty kilometers to go, the officers could then lead the four men completely into the Northern Region region.
"Damn it, put me down!" Cassano cursed angrily.
He never imagined that he, a Young Supremes who had dominated the Zongheng Central Region for decades, would be bound and secured tightly by his own officers. No matter how much he cursed and struggled, he was powerless against his subordinates with red and tearful eyes.
Milito, Shaarawy, and Palacio were the most severely injured. After fighting the Six-Winged Battle Angel, they were invaded by a foreign power and were now completely unconscious. Cassano was the only Young Supremes was still conscious, and he was also the highest-ranking person among the 400,000-strong army.
He felt that at this moment, as he had done countless times before, he should shield the people and soldiers of the empire from the wind and rain.
He watched helplessly as one after another, the indomitable imperial warriors, like moths to a flame, rushed into the sky, hoping to stop that fat pig for even a moment. He watched as the empire's most loyal soldiers, wielding broken swords and blades, charged headlong into the fully armed enemy pursuing them from the horizon. He heard the cold, merciless shouts of Kao Shaoyi echoing in his ears...
Cassano felt like he was about to burst into flames.
He wanted to fight for dignity in the heavens.
However, his internal injuries were so severe that even circulating his Dou Qi was excruciatingly painful, leaving him unable to muster any strength. He could only be carried by a group of silent officers, moving helplessly northward.
"Since you're going to just stand by and watch these ants die without daring to come out, then I'll kill them one by one!"
Kao Shaoyi's patience was wearing thin. He spread his right hand and pressed down casually.
The ground shook violently, and a giant crater, a thousand meters in diameter, appeared.
At least several thousand soldiers from the two empires who unfortunately ended up in the crater were instantly crushed into piles of minced meat. Their blood, flesh, and mud mingled together, staining the land, which was already nearly soaked in blood, red.
"Kill them all! Kill them until you find Shaarawy and his three companions!" Kao Shaoyi roared furiously. "No matter what, today, I will personally sever their heads and present them to His Majesties Blatter and Platini!"
"Yes!"
The four [ Four Divine Knights of Punishment ] behind him agreed, their faces contorted with savage smiles. They transformed into streaks of light and hurtled toward the ground like a world-destroying meteor, their bodies engulfed in flames as they plummeted toward the crowd.
Four powerful beings at the Great Sun-Class Venerable Stage Great Perfection are enough to completely annihilate an army of 400,000.
Meanwhile, to the south, the 100,000 soldiers of the two great empires, who had sacrificed themselves for their cause, were less than a kilometer away from the enemy on the opposite side.
Both sides could see each other's ferocious faces and expressions, and it was as if they could already see the scene of blood splattering as their weapons cut into each other's bodies, and they could feel the cold breath of death on their faces.
The situation has become extremely dangerous.
The last armies of the two great empires were on the verge of collapse.
"Charge! Once we cross the border and reach the Northern Region, we'll be safe..." An officer shouted from the crowd, boosting morale and sending hope to his comrades and kin.
"Haha, naive! Naive! Who said you'd be safe once you reached the Northern Region border?"
One of the [ Four Divine Knights of Punishment ] laughed wildly, cleaving away several powerful figures blocking his way with a single palm strike.
At the peak of the Sun-Class Great Perfection Realm, with a thought, he arrived at the border between the Central Region Continent and the Northern Region Continent. His body unleashed an incomparably powerful force as he stepped into the territory of the Northern Region Continent, laughing wildly, "The enemies of the Holy Church, who dares to protect them? No matter where you flee to, you will be hunted down for eternity! Haha, I'll see what happens to me now that I've entered the Northern Region Continent!"
" Church Knights, those who set foot in the Northern Region, shall die!"
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out behind him.
The punitive knight was horrified. Who could infiltrate his side silently without being detected? He turned around and was immediately stunned.
