The cannons of the four escort ships fired beams of highly destructive energy, which landed on the area where the Garden Army was gathered below, clearing a large area of land in the blink of an eye.

The sudden attack threw the Garden Army, who had been intently watching the reserved open space, into a panic. They had left it as the decisive battleground, but the Alliance Army did not play by the rules.

In just a few seconds, the entire flank was in complete chaos.

"Hold on! Hold on, you bastard! Heavy Armor Corps, push forward! The rest of the regiments, follow the Heavy Armor Corps!"

The Garden Army, having received the order, acted swiftly. The Heavy Armor Corps, generally over three meters tall, clad in golden heavy armor and wielding massive shields, appeared on the battlefield. Their enormous size was eye-catching, immediately drawing the attention of Amo and his companions upon their arrival.

Elder Ge, what is that?

Elder Ge saw the Heavy Armor Corps take a deep breath, and his expression became solemn.

"This is the Heavy Armor Corps, the most deeply hidden unit in the Garden. They say it's a super soldier secretly researched by the Garden, the elite of the elite, with immense strength; lifting a small starship with their bare hands is routine training for them."

Xiaohe's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "That's incredible! Elder Ge, what other secret weapons does the Garden have up its sleeve?!"

Elder Ge shook his head. "I don't know either. There are many things that the Garden studies in private, and I don't know them all. This Heavy Armor Corps is a project that the Garden started researching before Dong Tian became the head of the court."

As for whether Dong Tian researched anything new later, I don't know; he never tells anyone.

"Although this thing is troublesome, it is not invincible. The heavy armor on the outside is actually people, but because of the heavy armor, these warriors move very slowly. In a head-on battle, if they encounter an agile enemy, they are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."

But be careful not to get hit by him. This kind of warrior is extremely strong; even my Guard Corps would be rendered incapacitated if hit by him.

His Guard Corps was the most elite Antimatter Legion in the Garden. Although it did not have as many men as other Antimatter Legion, its strength lay in its elite status. Among all the troops in the Garden, the Guard Corps's warriors were second to none in a one-on-one fight, and they could easily handle two opponents at once.

"So, Elder Ge, how do your Guard Corps compare to the Heavy Armor Corps?"

Amo asked the question, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. Elder Ge replied without hesitation, "Compared to my Guard Corps, they are certainly inferior. My Guard Corps is the elite of the entire Garden!"

"Good! Elder Ge, take three hundred brothers from the Guard Corps, let's go and tear open this gap for the allied forces!"

"Understood, Your Excellency."

Elder Ge immediately followed Amo and Xiaohe out of the transport ship's conference room and into the hangar.

Looking at the heavily Guard Corps, Amo stepped forward.

"Brothers, today is the decisive battle, but the Heavy Armor Corps in the Garden are blocking the allied forces' advance! Now is the time for us to go into battle! The allied forces need us as their spearhead! And we need to prove to everyone that we are not only the spearhead, but also an invincible army of kings! Do you dare to follow me and tear through this defensive line!"

"Dare!"

The sound of the transport ship's anti-aircraft guns bombarding the protective shields was deafening, and the heavy footsteps of the Heavy Armor Corps below could be faintly heard. Despite the circumstances, the voices of the Guard Corps remained clear and resolute.

"Alright! Brothers of the Guard Corps, prepare to deploy!"

Amo looked at Xiaohe beside him, Xiaohe smiled and nodded at him.

"I will accompany you on your path to becoming king."

Xiaohe transformed into a black stream of light and surged Amo Amo's body. Amo's black cloak reappeared, and in his hand was a longsword formed from the power of Nihility.

Immediately afterwards, beams of light fell upon the 302 people, and the next moment, everyone disappeared from their original spot. Below, on the open ground cleared by the escort ship, 302 beams of light appeared, and Amo led 301 people out from it.

Looking at the thick "city wall" not far in front of him, Amo twirled his sword and then pointed forward.

"Defend the portal! Kill!"

"Kill!"

Three hundred and two men charged toward the "city wall" in front of them with murderous intent. The "city wall" saw that people were rushing toward it recklessly, so it suddenly accelerated and took bigger strides, aiming directly at the Guard Corps who were charging up.

Amo gathered power in his hands, and a thick Nihility power condensed on the longsword in his hand. With a slash, a black sword light in the shape of a crescent moon slashed towards the Heavy Armor Corps.

The moment they made contact, the thick, towering shield split in two, and the heavily armored soldier behind it fell in two as well.

The once impenetrable "city wall" was instantly torn open, and Elder Ge seized the opportunity to lead the Guard Corps in and slip in before the other Heavy Armor Corps could fill the gap.

The Guard Corps, which had been helpless against the heavy shield walls, entered the Heavy Armor Corps's formation like wolves among sheep.

In just a moment, several Heavy Armor Corps soldiers fell, their massive size even overwhelming the infantry following closely behind.

The infantry behind the Heavy Armor Corps hurriedly opened fire to intercept, but the Heavy Armor Corps's massive size became the best cover for the Guard Corps. Even if they were hit through gaps, the Guard Corps soldiers' excellent armor could still help them withstand the damage.

In an instant, the Garden Army's formation was thrown into chaos. The Guard Corps was hunting down the Heavy Armor Corps, while the infantry concentrated their fire on the Guard Corps, Guard Corps used the Heavy Armor Corps as cover.

At this moment, the more than three hundred beams of light lit up again, and a steady stream of soldiers poured out from them. At the forefront were naturally the Daiyu and Manifest Existence Army led by Wanmeng, followed closely by the Alliance Army.

Qi Tianque, who was standing beside Wanmeng, saw Amo surrounded by heavily armored soldiers and summoned the artifact bestowed upon Ayinai without hesitation.

A luxurious piano appeared in mid-air, Qi Tianque sat on a stool with his hands on the keys. Then, a melodious tune began to play.

The amplification from the music surged Amo Amo's body, instantly stabilizing his mind, which had been somewhat dazed due to the influence of the Nihility from that sword strike. At the same time, with Qi Tianque's help, the power of Nihility within the Heart of Nihility of Void began to flow into Amo's body in a gentle and gradual manner. The body, which had been affected by the use of the power of Nihility, was instantly soothed, and the fatigue and pain disappeared in an instant.

Having regained his full strength, Amo dodged the shield attack by sidestepping and then sliced off the soldier's leg with a backhand strike.

Compared to the others' struggles, Amo's situation was incredibly easy. He was originally engaged in assassination missions and was agile. Although the Guard Corps had high defense, Amo used the Nihility.

The next moment, the soldier whose lower leg had been severed screamed in agony as he grabbed the severed leg without hesitation and pulled it off forcefully.

Blood gushed out, staining the entire earth crimson. Seeing the opponent's furious appearance, Amo merely glanced at him indifferently, then unleashed a sword strike. The opponent's furious roar abruptly ceased, and his body tilted upwards, splitting in two.
