Dozens of miles away.
The clouds rolled like billowing smoke and dust, surging towards the horizon.
Within the clouds, figures flickered. Countless figures stood upright like javelins, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
They were sharp, solemn, and resolute, showing their iron-like willpower.
From dozens of miles away, a thick, solemn, and intimidating aura swept towards them.
Looking at the torrent, everyone felt extremely uneasy.
Compared to the Xue Wu Army, which they had fought before, the Xue Wu Army was like bandits who only knew how to kill and rob. Although they were strong, they lacked the temperament of soldiers.
However, the soldiers in front of them gave them a huge shock.
They were true soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Before the battle had even begun, the Heavenly Law Alliance's morale had already weakened.
The long spear turned into a fireball and charged towards the billowing smoke and dust.
Like a firefly, it flew towards the world of mortals.
The flame was extinguished without any suspense.
The billowing smoke and dust also gradually stopped.
As the wind blew, the smoke and dust dispersed, revealing a dense group of people under the moonlight.
There were a thousand soldiers, dressed in pitch-black armor. Under the moonlight, they looked like death gods descending upon the world to reap the lives of all living beings.
Their eyes were cold, indifferent, and murderous. Under the moonlight, the reflection of the full moon was like the eyes of a bloodthirsty beast.
Tonight was their night of revelry, a night of murder.
The army was orderly, lined up in rows.
Different types of soldiers moved forward in a square formation.
The shield-bearer was in front, the long spear in the middle, and the bow and arrow at the back. Even after the previous commotion, the formation was still in perfect order.
"One dead, three injured. The enemy is very strong." The shield-bearer in the middle had an additional blood-red mark on his chest, signifying his identity as the commander of the square formation. He quickly summarized the situation.
Although the shield-bearer reacted quickly and blocked the spear along with the sturdy man, Su Yu's great strength still caused some casualties.
"There is a Grade One Fairy among the enemy. This does not match the information we received." The commander of the square formation was expressionless. He was not affected by the unexpected appearance of a Fairy. His will was as firm as steel.
The rest of the soldiers were also expressionless.
"King, take the treasures and bring them away. The lightly injured can continue fighting. The heavily injured can hand over the treasures. Their lives are in their own hands." The commander of the square formation was indifferent. He had actually chosen to abandon the heavily injured.
On the battlefield, the heavily injured would most likely die if they did not receive the protection of their comrades.
The enemy's cruel laws and discipline sent chills down one's spine.
However, none of the soldiers had any strange expressions on their faces, as if this was only natural.
Su Yu furrowed his brows as he observed the scene from afar.
A terrifying army, a terrifying will.
This battle was much more difficult than he had imagined!
However, the Fifth Saint Master, whom he paid the most attention to, had yet to appear.
"Shield warriors, open the way. Archers, prepare to use your bows and arrows to suppress the enemy. Spear warriors, attack within a five kilometer radius." In the center of the spear warriors, a red-feathered general gave the order in a dignified manner.
Even though he was just a Level One Fairy and wasn't the Fifth Saint Master, he was still qualified to give orders.
Under the order, the army immediately set off.
Dong dong —
The shield-wielding warriors lined up neatly in a straight line. They were like a torrent of steel as they pressed forward in an orderly manner.
The spearmen followed closely behind, and under the protection of the shield-bearer, they continued to approach. Each of them had twelve spears on their backs, and the physical strength they exuded was not any weaker than the muscular young man from before.
Within a range of ten miles, their spears could unleash powerful attacks, and each spear could easily kill any Heavenly Law Alliance member.
There were a total of four hundred spearmen, and if all twelve of them were to be used, it would be enough to exterminate the entire Heavenly Law Alliance.
Not to mention, there were also three hundred archers with equally shocking destructive power.
"Fire!" General Hong Yu ordered indifferently.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
The rain of arrows was like black afterimages that covered the sky.
"Dodge!" As he looked at the rain of arrows, he slightly furrowed his brows. The enemy's arrows were all middle-grade divine artifacts, and no one below the Fairy Realm could withstand them.
The Heavenly Law Alliance's members immediately looked for cover and dodged the arrows.
Even though they were prepared, there were still some who didn't hide well and were shot, causing a few casualties in an instant.
The casualties were secondary. The most important thing was that the Heavenly Law Alliance's members were suppressed in the city.
"Release!" Without giving the Heavenly Law Alliance's members a chance to catch their breath, the enemy soldier gave another order.
Swish swish —
Following the previous wave of arrows, the sky was covered in black arrows.
Under such a powerful suppression, the Heavenly Law Alliance's members didn't even have the chance to stand up.
And the enemy troops were approaching step by step.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Central City was like a hedgehog. The city walls, roofs, streets, flowers, and trees were all densely covered with arrows.
The arrows showed no signs of stopping.
In such a short period of time, they had managed to get within twenty miles of the enemy troops.
"Alliance Master, the enemy troops are well-trained and well-coordinated. If we don't launch an effective counterattack, they will surely get within ten miles of us. At that time, they will attack us with their spears, and we will suffer unimaginable casualties. It will be difficult for us to turn the tide."
He then added, "The only thing we can do now is to use the hundred archers we have trained to slow down the enemy's suppression. Then, we can use this opportunity to send our close combat soldiers out of the city and break through the enemy's defensive line. Only then will we have a glimmer of hope!"
The person who spoke was the former commander of the Heavenly Law Alliance's army.
"Bear with it." Su Yu only replied to him with one word.
"But, Alliance Master …" The commander was anxious. Based on his experience, if he didn't send his army out now, they would lose all of their chances.
Su Yu didn't speak. Instead, his silence made his stance clear.
"I understand." The commander clenched his teeth and forced himself to bear with it. He then looked at the otherworldly army, which was advancing forward.
However, something unexpected happened.
"Stop advancing." The enemy troops suddenly stopped.
Swish!
The leaders of the three formations gathered around the Red Feather soldiers.
The sharp eyes of the Hong Yu soldiers were quietly staring at the central city. It was as if they could see through everything in the city.
"If the enemy is not moving, then there must be a trap. The area within ten miles is not only our killing range, but also the enemy's ambush location." The soldier easily saw through Su Yu's intentions.
A hundred archers were the existence of a trump card.
"Pass down my orders. Change our strategy. We will fight within twenty miles! We will execute the backup plan. We will destroy the otherworldly army right here, "General Hong Yu said calmly.
The three formation commanders immediately returned to their formation and quickly made arrangements.
The enemy troops stopped attacking, giving the Heavenly Law Alliance a chance to catch their breath.
However, no one was able to relax.
This was because the enemy troops were quickly changing their formation.
The shield soldiers were still at the front, while the archers and the spear soldiers were paired up.
The spear soldiers took the spears from their backs and tore them into two. They then turned them into temporary arrows and handed them to the archers.
The archers put down the ordinary arrows and switched to using the spears.
"First round, shoot!" The Hong Yu soldiers had a cold expression on their faces.
Swish!
The sound of something tearing through the air could be heard once again.
The arrows fell like rain.
However, this time, the rain of arrows didn't just shoot down.
The arrows exploded in the air. Layers of pungent liquid sprayed out from the arrows, which were ignited by the friction between the arrows and the air.
In an instant, the sky above the central city was covered in raging flames.
As the fireballs fell, the raging flames spread rapidly, turning the central city into a sea of fire.
Ah!
The sudden raging flames turned hundreds of people into raging flames.
Instinctively, they tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies, exposing themselves.
"Don't move. Use your Vital Energy to extinguish the flames …" Su Yu shouted in a deep voice.
However, it was too late.
"Shoot!" General Hong Yu sneered cruelly.
Swish!
Hundreds of arrows were prepared to kill the people who exposed themselves.
Blood splattered everywhere, turning into powder in the raging flames.
Bang! Bang!
Hundreds of corpses fell to the ground, turning into charcoal in the raging flames.
In an instant, hundreds of people had lost their lives.
This scene stung the hearts of everyone present.
Even when they were fighting against Xue Wu's army, they had never suffered such a great loss.
What kind of army were they facing now?
"Alliance Master Su, quickly let the archers attack. Everyone, break out of the encirclement! These raging flames cannot be extinguished. If we continue to bide our time, we will be burned alive! "The commander's heart was burning with anxiety.
He couldn't understand why Su Yu was still biding his time.
This was a matter of life and death!
"Endure!" Su Yu's gaze swept over the hundreds of corpses. The horrifying images of the burnt corpses were reflected in his eyes.
A trace of pain flashed across his eyes.
"Breaking out of the encirclement now is exactly what I want. Endure!"
The commander was shocked. He felt that Su Yu was unreasonable. Was he going to watch them all be burned to death?
He even suspected that Su Yu had intentionally let them fall into the sea of fire.
"Yes!" The commander suppressed his rebellious heart. His eyes flickered intensely, as if he was struggling with his thoughts.
"Archers, get ready. We will use this method to kill anyone who appears," General Hong Yu ordered. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. "If you do not move, you will be buried in the sea of fire. If you break out of the encirclement, you will be killed by the archers. You have no way out. The only thing left for you is death."
"The war is already over. These ignorant barbarians only have this much wisdom. Using us, the Black Iron Guards, is really overkill! I thought that destroying the continent's army of the Xue Wu's army would give me some fun. It seems like it doesn't live up to its name. "General Hong Yu tugged on Hong Yu's sleeve and sighed softly.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, many of the alliance's members could not withstand the raging flames and were killed.
There were also some who were burned to death.
The hidden alliance's members were dying at an alarming rate.
This battle was many times more tragic than they had imagined!
They did not even have the chance to attack before they fell into a desperate situation.
"Ending the battle in an hour? What a boring battle." General Hong Yu looked away coldly.
..
Ten thousand miles away.
Among the clouds, tens of thousands of soldiers stood quietly.
In a floating pavilion, a young man with sharp facial features was leisurely sipping wine.
"How is it? Has the otherworldly army appeared? How is their combat power? "
Outside the pavilion, a scout reported, "Third Lord, the Tiandao Alliance has suffered heavy casualties. However, the enemy did not suffer any casualties. They are expected to be wiped out within an hour!"
The Third Lord frowned and said, "No matter how useless the Tiandao Alliance is, they should not be so weak. After all, they have the experience of destroying the Xue Wu's army. How could they be so weak?"
After thinking for a while, the Third Lord asked, "Did the Fifth Saint Leader attack?"
"No, there are only a thousand soldiers. The Tiandao Alliance is completely suppressed. They could not even fight back."
The Third Lord stood up slowly and looked serious. "Completely suppressed? What is the quality of their armor? Tell me everything. "
"Yes!"
..
After hearing this, the Third Lord's expression changed drastically. "It's the Black Iron Guards!"
As if he had heard some shocking news, the Third Lord's expression changed drastically. When he regained his senses, he immediately ordered, "There is a change of plan! Pass down my order. We must return to the capital immediately. We cannot delay any further! "
"What? Third Lord, our mission is to delay the otherworldly army at all costs so that we can buy time for the Great Lord and the others. "The commander was shocked. The Third Lord was furious.
The Third Lord was furious. "What do you know? Do you know who you are up against? Buying time? You are so stupid! "
"They are not the Black Shadow Guards. They are … the personal guards of the Jiuzhou Central Prefecture's King!" The existence of the Black Shadow Guards was known to the higher-ups of the empire.
They knew that a large number of Black Shadow Guards would invade the Zhenlong Continent under the command of the Fifth Saint Leader.
However, no one had expected that they would not be the Black Shadow Guards, but the personal guards of the King!
He knew a little about the rumors about the Iron Blood Army. He only knew that the Iron Blood Army had the glorious experience of killing a Divine Master who had betrayed them.
They had managed to kill the Divine Master without sacrificing even ten percent of their strength!
Everyone in the Jiuzhou Continent knew about them!
Ever since then, they had never failed a mission. Their enemies had always been completely annihilated, and they had never suffered any heavy casualties.
The most glorious time was when they had killed ten thousand people with the strength of a thousand!
Not a single one of those ten thousand people was weaker than them.
In other words, they had the terrifying combat ability to fight against ten people alone. They were almost invincible!
They only had a few hundred Half Fairies and ten thousand Half Gods. In front of the Invincible Black Army, they were just like ants in a flood.
"Don't hesitate! Retreat immediately! We can only ask the King to help us! "The Third Lord's expression was extremely unsightly. He was not in the mood to laugh at Su Yu.
The unexpected change in the otherworldly world caused the Third Lord to feel an unprecedented sense of panic.
He felt like there was a huge conspiracy going on.
..
"Alliance Master Su!" Amidst the raging flames, the commander watched his comrades die one by one. His heart was filled with pain, anger, and hatred.
He could no longer trust Su Yu!
"Please forgive me, but I cannot watch my comrades die in front of me!" The commander stood up and shouted. "If you don't want to die, follow me to break out of the encirclement and fight against the enemy! Rather than being killed by the enemy, why not fight against them? "
His shout gave the people in the sea of flames a chance to vent their anger.
They were not afraid of death. What they were afraid of was dying in vain.
Among the enemies, General Hong Yu sneered. "Are you trying to fight like a cornered beast? In fact, you are just like a moth flying into a flame, which will only hasten your death.
Archers, prepare yourselves. This battle is about to end. "
In the central city, a large number of people were about to break out of the encirclement.
The enemy archers also pulled their bows and aimed at the next person who was about to be killed.
However, at this moment, Su Yu suddenly spoke.
He heaved a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, as if he had completed an extremely difficult task.
Bang!
As the Heavenly Law Alliance's people cried out in alarm, Su Yu's body suddenly shattered, turning into sparkling crystals that scattered in the air.
"An illusion?" The commander was dumbfounded. He had been beside Su Yu for such a long time, yet he had not detected that it was a clone of Su Yu.
Since that was the case, where was his main body?
"Archers, prepare yourselves. This battle is about to end." The same words came from Su Yu, who was on the verge of death.
His voice was faintly discernible.
"Underground!" General Hong Yu's expression became grave as he looked at the ground. "There is an ambush! Retreat immediately!"
