Boom... Rat-a-tat-tat...!
Outside Flying Dragon Pass, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Haotian Empire were advancing towards the city gates in a mighty and imposing manner.
The commander in charge of attacking Flying Dragon Pass this time is Wen Dao, the leader of the three royal cavalry of the Haotian Empire. He also brought with him the Tiger Vanguard Royal Cavalry, another of the three royal cavalry.
The Three Royal Cavalry, as the strongest legion of the Haotian Empire and also the strongest legion of the Pan Emperor Continent, have been invincible for thousands of years.
When the banner of the Tiger Vanguard Royal Cavalry appeared, the warriors on Flying Dragon Pass tensed up, feeling immense pressure.
"Soldiers, do not worry. If the Tiger Warriors attack, our Five Elements Army will hold them off!"
At this moment, Chen Rufeng, the commander of the Five Elements Army, arrived at the city gate tower. He spoke through the public channel of the Intelligent Military System, which immediately reassured all the soldiers.
"Haha, with the Five Elements Army here, we are naturally at ease."
The Haotian Empire has three elite cavalry units, but the Chen Kingdom also has three elite legions. Although the Five Elements Army is far inferior to the Tiger Vanguard Royal Cavalry in terms of reputation, the Five Elements Army has risen rapidly in recent years, giving the soldiers great confidence.
Chen Rufeng greeted the generals guarding the city with a smile, then walked to the other side of the city wall and stopped in front of the assembled Five Elements Army.
" Rufeng, do you think we have a chance of winning this time?"
It was Miao Ya who spoke, the deputy commander of the Five Elements Army.
After more than half an hour of recuperation, the ten Five Elements Guards had recovered to their peak condition and were fully capable of rejoining the battle.
No! But we're used to it, aren't we?
Chen Rufeng turned to look at Miao Ya, his eyes resolute.
The Five Elements Army was the first battle formation of the Chen Kingdom. It fought in the north and south as the Chen Kingdom grew stronger. Most of the time, the enemies it faced were no weaker than itself, but in the end, it was always the ones who won.
This time is different.
Rufeng, promise me, if someone has to stay in the end, I hope it will be me!
Others only know that the Tiger Vanguard Royal Cavalry strong, but they don't know exactly how strong.
But how could Miao Ya, as the deputy commander of the Five Elements Army, not know that the Chen Kingdom's Shadow Guards had given the Five Elements Army detailed information about the Tiger Vanguard Royal Cavalry a long time ago?
She knew all too well how difficult this battle would be, and she was even prepared to sacrifice herself.
Compared to the celestial soldiers of the Heavenly Realm, the soldiers of the Pan Emperor Continent are undoubtedly inferior in terms of cultivation level.
However, this does not mean that the legions of the Pan Emperor Continent are necessarily weaker than those of the Heavenly Realm. At least the three royal cavalry of the Haotian Empire are definitely not inferior to ordinary heavenly soldier legions, and may even be stronger than ordinary heavenly soldier legions.
Due to the better cultivation environment in the Heavenly Realm, it is much easier for the Celestial Person to break through to the Core Formation Realm than for the Human Clan on the Pan Emperor Continent. This is their unique advantage.
However, this also brought them a drawback: the Celestial Person Race received too little training during their mortal stage, and Celestial Person Race of the same realm were much weaker in combat power than the Human Clan of the Pan Emperor Continent.
On the other hand, due to the restrictions on cultivators' realms on the Pan Emperor Continent in the past, the Haotian Empire also placed more emphasis on cultivating group combat strength, rather than on improving cultivation realms like the Heavenly Realm.
Therefore, even though the Tiger Vanguard Royal Cavalry is not composed entirely of Heavenly Soldiers who have all surpassed the Core Formation Realm, the combat power they unleash once they form a battle formation is enough to completely overwhelm an equal number of Heavenly Soldiers.
Looking at Miao Ya's stubborn eyes, Chen Rufeng could only smile helplessly.
"Okay! I'll listen to you. If we need to cover the rear, I'll definitely let you go first."
" Wen Dao, it seems that the immortals of the Heavenly Realm are being blocked by the cultivators of the Chen Kingdom."
What do we do now? Should we attack?
A lieutenant general approached Wen Dao and bowed, requesting permission to take command.
In the Haotian Empire, people generally respectfully refer to the Celestial Person Race of the Heavenly Realm as Immortals, and the soldiers also call them that.
Wen Dao sensed that the battle in the air was exceptionally intense and would not end anytime soon. After a moment's thought, he loudly gave the order.
"Attack! Everyone except the Tiger Vanguard Cavalry, charge!"
Chen Kingdom actually had the means to stop the two gods, which was something he hadn't anticipated. But it didn't matter. As long as the two divine lords could hold off Chen Kingdom's experts, it would be the same if his own cavalry broke through Flying Dragon Pass.
At Wen Dao's command, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Haotian Empire rose from the ground and slowly approached the city gate of Flying Dragon Pass.
The Haotian Empire's arrangements for this attack on Flying Dragon Pass were somewhat rushed, so the number of soldiers they sent was not large.
Although their numbers are small, this does not mean that their combat strength is weak. On the contrary, because Flying Dragon Pass is located in a strategic location, the soldiers stationed on the border are the most elite.
These soldiers are all at least at the Qi Nourishing Realm in terms of the Qi Nourishing Realm. With the help of military formations and corresponding Rune Artifacts and magic treasures, even Emperor Level cultivator would be in mortal danger if caught in them.
"Siege guns, fire a salvo!!"
Although the Rune Artifacts of the Haotian Empire are not as exquisite as those of the Chen Kingdom, their power is still considerable thanks to their profound historical heritage, after all, they have accumulated over ten thousand years.
Buzz... Boom boom boom!
Energy shields rose up over Flying Dragon Pass. In addition to the largest defensive barrier, many buildings also had smaller defensive barriers, protecting the entire city completely and leaving no room for leaks.
Boom boom boom...!
The siege shells from the Haotian Empire struck the defensive shield like blooming fireworks, dazzling and spectacular, but they did not damage the very foundation of the city's protective formation.
"Keep going! Let's wear them down!"
This outcome was entirely within Wen Dao's expectations. As the state religion, Chen Kingdom's Rune Research Institute had always been adept at building defensive barriers. He never imagined that he could breach the gates of Flying Dragon Pass with just these siege cannons.
Bang bang...
Beep beep...
Snap snap snap...!
As Haotian Empire's army approached Flying Dragon Pass, the mechanical weapons on Flying Dragon Pass spewed out tongues of fire, and countless Spirit Particle Bullet, Spirit Particle cannons, and beam bullets roared at the same time, raining down on the enemy like raindrops.
Infantry battalion, defend!
The infantry at the forefront of the army immediately raised their shields, which glowed with golden ripples, echoing the other shields nearby. From a distance, they looked like a solid shield net, blocking most of the attacks raining down from the sky.
Even infantry battalions are equipped with magical artifacts; this is the foundation of the Haotian Empire. Although these artifacts are not of high grade, what other power besides the Haotian Empire would have the resources to equip hundreds of thousands of troops with standardized magical artifacts?
"Archers, fire a volley!"
The longbows used by the Haotian Empire Army's archer battalion were also standard magical weapons of considerable power, and they also had disposable arrows. As arrows spraying various Spiritual Power landed on Flying Dragon Pass, casualties also occurred within Flying Dragon Pass.
