"What kind of legions are these that even the heavenly soldiers can't handle?"
Wen Dao looked surprised and immediately activated his projection communication artifact to contact the legion leaders in various parts of the Chen Kingdom.
After communicating with them, he learned that Chen Kingdom's counterattack was extremely impressive. In addition to sending out a large number of Robot Corps and Mecha Corps, several very special legions had also appeared among them.
The first type is the Sniper Corps, which is composed entirely of soldiers with sniping talent.
Their entire army was equipped with rune-inscribed sniper rifles. Although the number was small, they were capable of killing enemies across several major realms. Among them, the King Level cultivators, equipped with Rune Gun, were even able to threaten Saint Level cultivators, which was incredibly astonishing.
The Sniper Corps's combat characteristic is a one-shot kill. Combined with the Robot Corps, which excels in human wave tactics, they are virtually invincible. Even the Yi Wood Heavenly Soldier Corps was suppressed by them.
The second type is Mutant Demon Beast Corps, which was obviously created by the Hall of Living Beings under Chen Xuejun's command.
This legion is composed entirely of gigantic mutated monsters. Most of them are not at a high cultivation level, but they are physically strong and immune to many mental and magical attacks. Although they are not easy to control, if used properly, they are the best vanguard warriors and killing machines.
The third type is the Spacetime Battle Talisman Corps. This legion is very mysterious. Currently, Wen Dao only knows that they can teleport at will within the territory of the Chen Kingdom, and even magical artifacts that imprison space cannot trap them.
The appearance of the Mecha Corps had greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Chen Kingdom's military. Even though the Haotian Empire army was well-prepared, it was not able to overwhelm them.
The addition of these new types of military units has completely made up for the shortcomings in the Chen Kingdom's combat strength, and they are now able to suppress Haotian Empire.
"Withdraw! Everyone retreat to their posts and defend them. Once I've devised a plan, I'll deal with them."
Wen Dao acted decisively, ordering the armies in various locations to retreat.
He himself had lost interest in continuing to attack the capital city ahead, and led his army to retreat, preparing to return to the city he had previously captured to devise a solution.
But just then, he sensed something unusual about his surroundings. He quickly stood up and used his Heavenly Eye magic weapon to look around.
"Huh? We're surrounded?"
Wen Dao was secretly surprised, but he felt no fear whatsoever.
He is now leading the main force of the Haotian Empire. Although the number is only over 500,000, they are all elite warriors. Even if the Chen Kingdom uses more soldiers to deal with him, he is confident that he can protect himself. Naturally, he does not take this encirclement seriously.
There were more than a dozen legions surrounding Wen Dao's troops, all dressed in standard Chen Kingdom military armor, looking imposing.
"General Wen Dao, we meet again!"
The leader of the Chen Kingdom's army was A Huo, but the Demon-Slaying Sword was not present; only the Tiger Vanguard Cavalry's old rival, the Five Elements Army, was there.
"Heh! It's you again, you sword-wielding barbarian."
What, you think you can handle my troops with just your numbers?
As soon as Wen Dao finished speaking, the Haotian Empire soldiers activated their magical treasures, and powerful Spiritual Power surged into the sky, making them appear as if they were gods descending from heaven.
"Whether we can handle it or not, we'll only know after we fight!"
A Huo had no intention of wasting any more words and directly ordered his men to attack Wen Dao's troops.
"Roar!!!"
The first to make a move were Chen Kingdom's Mutant Demon Beast Corps, which was also Wen Dao's first time fighting against the Mutant Demon Beast Corps.
There are about a thousand mutated monsters that came with us this time, and each one is no less powerful than Demon King.
Moreover, they were enormous, their skin impervious to blades and spears, and once wounded, they would become extremely ferocious. With just one charge, they disrupted the formation of Wen Dao's troops considerably.
Next came the robot soldiers. Although their combat power was weaker than the mutated monsters, their advantage lay in their small numbers, lack of pain sensation, and ease of control, making them the best basic force on the battlefield.
The Mecha Corps is mixed in with the Robot Corps, controlling some of the robot's command. Their main targets are high-level cultivators among the enemy, protecting human soldiers and allowing them to gain more combat experience.
The last to act were the Sniper Corps, which numbered much smaller, only a little over a hundred.
However, these hundred-odd rune sniper rifles were enough to tie down nearly half of the experts in the Haotian Empire's army. The power of the rune sniper rifles was simply too great; even Sage would be in danger if he was not careful.
" Tiger Vanguard Army, haha, here we come again!"
The Five Elements Army had the clearest objective; as soon as the battle began, they charged towards the Tiger Vanguard Army.
In these three months, the Five Elements Army has clashed with the Tiger Vanguard Army six times, but the result is always the same: after the Tiger Vanguard Army defeats the Five Elements Army, the Five Elements Army will use the Spirit Magnetization Technology to escape, and the Tiger Vanguard Army has no way to deal with it.
What alarmed the Tiger Vanguard Army commander even more was that every time the Five Elements Army clashed with the Tiger Vanguard Army, they would appear stronger and their tactics would become more targeted. Even though the Tiger Vanguard Army Legion commander tried his best to improve his tactics, he could not keep up with the speed of their progress.
"The might of the Tiger Warriors Blazing Flames Scorch the Plains!"
Having clashed multiple times, there was no longer any need for probing. The Tiger Vanguard Army attacked with deadly intent from the outset, aiming to inflict as many casualties as possible on the Five Elements Army.
Normally, if a battle formation suffers more than 20% casualties, even with the addition of reserves to replenish its ranks, the battle formation's effectiveness will decrease, and it will require several months of training to restore its combat strength.
If more than half of the troops are killed or wounded, then the legion will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
Therefore, even though the Tiger Vanguard Army knew it could not annihilate the Five Elements Army, it still wanted to inflict as many casualties as possible. As the number of casualties increased, the synchronization rate of the Five Elements Army would decrease, and its combat power would become weaker.
As long as the Five Elements Army is not blocking their way, the Tiger Vanguard Army can move freely and be invincible in the Chen Kingdom.
" The Five Elements Rotation, the Great Five Elements Divine Light!"
The Tiger Vanguard Army transformed into raging flames and clashed with the Five Elements Army, which shimmered with multicolored divine light. Facing their old adversaries, neither side held back, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Clang! A sword light shot into the sky, A Huo also made his move. His target was naturally Wen Dao, the commander of the Haotian Empire Army.
" Heavenly Emperor Tyrant Saber Slash!"
Not to be outdone, Wen Dao summoned his personal weapon and unleashed a towering blade of light tens of feet long, its aura domineering and unparalleled.
Ten thousand years ago, the Pan Emperor Continent was not only home to the Haotian Empire. The Wen family's ancestors were once the emperors of one of these countries, possessing a long-standing heritage and rich history.
The Heavenly Emperor Tyrant Saber martial arts technique is considered a first-class inheritance even in the Heavenly Realm. It was precisely because of this that Wen Dao was able to firmly occupy the second position on the Heaven Ranking back then, and few cultivators of the same level could rival him.
Boom!
But to everyone's surprise, Wen Dao was defeated in just one move, crashing heavily to the ground, panting heavily, looking utterly defeated.
"Hehe, Demigod Realm, another Demigod Realm."
You Chen Kingdom are really lucky!
