" Cannon Squad! Fire once at a distance of 2.2 kilometers in the direction I'm pointing now! Adjust the distance to 2 kilometers and fire again!"

With a range of 2.2 kilometers, and the ability to maintain over 90% accuracy with Handheld Rune Cannon, Chen Mu decided on a compromise distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two rounds of firing were completed in less than ten seconds.

Soon, a powerful aura soared into the sky from afar, rushing towards the location of the Sword Guardian Battalion.

"Haha, only one King Level being came?"

"Cannon Squad, adjust the distance to 1.5 kilometers, fire another shot!"

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to Elder Qing Xue had been silently following beside him.

" Elder Qing Xue, that King Level expert is now in your care."

Bo Zhu is the logistics commander stationed at the Otherworldly Demon Camp, and he is very confident about attacking Absolute Sword City.

He was still diligently directing the workers to improve the construction of the military camp, waiting for the main force to bring good news.

Unexpectedly, dozens of strange spheres suddenly flew from the sky, blasting dozens of transport vehicles around him into pieces.

The transport trucks were filled with supplies for the war, as well as food for the soldiers, which were crucial to the war effort.

Although the Otherworldly Demon also possess space storage technology similar to storage rings, how much food can a few cubic meters of space store for hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Only the most important supplies can be stored in storage rings.

There were also skilled construction workers next to the transport trucks, and now hundreds of them have been killed in the explosion.

Enraged, he immediately took flight, summoning nearby troops to join him in surrounding and killing the attackers.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!

He had just begun to muster his troops when another wave of spheres flew in from the sky. He tried desperately to intercept them, but managed to stop only a few. In the end, the spheres blasted another batch of supplies to smithereens.

His face flushed red instantly. Knowing he would definitely be held accountable by his superiors this time, he didn't care about waiting for the army and rushed alone towards the direction from which the sphere was flying.

In order to take down Absolute Sword City in one fell swoop, four of the five Demon King of the Otherworldly Demon army have already set off with the army to support the attacking Absolute Sword City, leaving only Bo Zhu to guard the camp.

Before the main army set off, they had already sent Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon to patrol the surrounding area. There was absolutely no possibility of a large-scale army hiding there, which is why they dared to send out the main force of the army, leaving only 50,000 troops to garrison the rear.

They had considered the possibility that humans would send an elite force to attack, but even an elite force of several thousand people, with Bo Zhu and 50,000 soldiers present, should not pose any threat to them in theory.

They simply hadn't expected that a weapon like Handheld Rune Cannon could inflict such devastation on them from a distance.

As Bo Zhu flew toward the location of the Sword Guardian Battalion, another round of rune bombs exploded behind Bo Zhu.

The bombs sent the Otherworldly Demon infantry that Bo Zhu had organized to pursue the Sword Guardian Battalion flying in disarray. Bo Zhu was furious; he hadn't even seen anyone before losing several hundred more soldiers.

When Bo Zhu appeared above the Sword Guardian Battalion, Elder Qing Xue immediately went to meet him, and the two began to clash.

Snap! Boom!

Bo Zhu was very powerful, but he was no match for Elder Qing Xue, and the two entered into a grueling battle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Otherworldly Demon army also rushed into the forest to surround and kill the Sword Guardian Battalion, Spear Squad opened fire and killed the enemy one after another.

The number of Otherworldly Demon was large, and once they surrounded the Sword Guardian Battalion, even if the individual members of the Sword Guardian Battalion were strong, they would only die in battle. Therefore, Chen Mu began to command everyone to fight and run at the same time.

In the forest, the speed of the Otherworldly Demon army was no match for the experts of the Sword Guardian Battalion. The Spear Squad and Cannon Squad were not in a hurry to run. They retreated while killing the Otherworldly Demon, and the few Otherworldly Demon that were faster were left to the Mobile Squad to kill.

In this situation, the Sword Guardian Battalion was completely at ease, and some cultivators were so engrossed in the fighting that they were reluctant to leave.

Bo Zhu was locked in combat with Elder Qing Xue in the air, was furious and let out a loud roar into the sky.

"Roar...!"

As soon as Bo Zhu's roar subsided, thousands of two-winged demons flew up from afar and charged towards the Sword Guardian Battalion.

"Let's go! Up Broken Blade Mountain!"

Chen Mu made a decisive decision, ordering everyone to leave immediately and head up the mountain.

With everyone rushing at full speed, they all arrived at the Broken Blade Mountain in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

" The Spear Squad go up first, then they'll provide cover for us."

This arrangement had been practiced beforehand, so apart from the Spear Squad, everyone else tacitly stayed in place to intercept the pursuers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Cannon Squad continued firing shells at the approaching Otherworldly Demon army from afar.

Da da da!

As the Otherworldly Demon infantry approached Broken Blade Mountain, the fifty Rune Puppet No. 1 atop the mountain began to unleash their power, providing cover for the Sword Guardian Battalion.

Hiss~! Roar...!

After the two-winged demons caught up, they were suppressed by the firepower of Rune Puppet No. 1. Chen Mu and the others mainly dealt with the Otherworldly Demon infantry that arrived one after another.

Military operations differ from individual combat. Although their individual combat strength is not strong, their teamwork is excellent, and they are led by powerful figures. As the number of arriving Otherworldly Demon infantry increases, the pressure on Chen Mu and his group also increases.

More than two hundred guards of the Sword Guardian Battalion used their most secret skills and barely managed to hold off the attack.

Soon, gunshots rang out from Broken Blade Mountain, helping everyone kill the pursuers and easing the pressure on the people below.

" Cannon Squad, advance!"

As soon as Chen Mu issued the order, the Cannon Squad was already running up the mountain at lightning speed.

As time went on, many of the slower-moving Otherworldly Demon caught up, putting immense pressure on the remaining Mobile Squad at the foot of the mountain.

biu... biu... biu...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the Handheld Rune Cannon on the mountain began to roar, Chen Mu and the others rushed up the mountain without hesitation.

Finally, Mingye took charge of covering the rear. Seven-colored light flowed around her, and as she raised her hands, several seven-colored light curtains rose up along the narrow mountain path of Broken Blade Mountain.

Thinking of someone is like a rainbow, yet the Curtain of Unseen Longing!

The Otherworldly Demon were corroded upon touching the light barrier and dissolved into air in moments.

The light barrier remained on the mountain path for seven or eight breaths. Dozens of Otherworldly Demon infantrymen, defying the warning, tried to charge forward, but were all dissolved into nothingness by the light barrier.

Bo Zhu, who was fighting Elder Qing Xue in the air, noticed the seven-colored light curtain. He glanced at Mingye, who was fleeing rapidly, and a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

When the light screen disappeared, the Sword Guardian Battalion had already run up to the mountainside. The Otherworldly Demon infantry had not received orders to retreat, so they had no choice but to continue chasing up the mountain path.

Although the Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon wanted to give chase, they dared not charge blindly because of the powerful firepower of Rune Puppet No. 1 and the Spear Squad above them.

In just this short time, more than three hundred Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon have died. For a race as small as the Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon, this is a considerable loss.

They will not easily mobilize again unless they are absolutely certain of success.

Although the mountain path leading up Broken Blade Mountain was narrow, the number of Otherworldly Demon infantry was enormous, and they kept coming up the mountain in a continuous stream, creating a formidable force.

Many members of the mobile unit were already injured, Otherworldly Demon generals could see that they were at their last gasp, so their morale was high.

But when the Otherworldly Demon infantry arrived at the mountaintop, dozens of spirited Garrison Squad soldiers were already waiting in full force.

With the help of the Spear Squad and the powerful firepower of Rune Puppet No. 1, the Broken Blade Peak Pass became a meat grinder, turning the endless stream of Otherworldly Demon soldiers into corpses.

"Is it a human defensive formation?"

Bo Zhu could sense a powerful protective force at the summit of Broken Blade Mountain. At that moment, he finally realized that all of this was premeditated, and that there was a human-established stronghold there.

"Retreat!"

Left with no other choice, Bo Zhu had to issue this order and used the Otherworldly Demon' special communication method to notify Bo Mu, the commander-in-chief of this attack on Absolute Sword City.
