However, these two waves of javelins didn't hit the Divine Race. Instead, the javelins collided with the Divine Race's javelins. A loud explosion was heard before the javelins and the Divine Race's javelins disappeared in midair.
Aiken didn't stop, instead, he shouted, "Ten consecutive javelins, release!" As he shouted, his arms rotated like a wheel, and the remaining ten javelins were quickly thrown out by him.
After throwing the javelins, Aiken immediately said, "Retreat!" He didn't delay as he turned his horse around and rode away.
When the Divine Race soldiers released their javelins, they thought that they would be able to engage in close combat with Aiken's group. They already knew that Aiken's group was 9th ranks, so they didn't have a Domain. Therefore, they thought that Aiken's group wouldn't be able to make strong ranged attacks, so they didn't take them seriously.
However, they didn't expect that Aiken's group would only throw two javelins before they perished together with the Divine Race's javelins. Just as the Divine Race soldiers were stunned, Aiken's javelins had already arrived. Ten consecutive javelins were thrown, causing the Divine Race soldiers to be unable to tell north from south.
The Divine Race soldiers were prepared for the Ark Continent's army to use blood lightning beads. Because of this, they had prepared their Domains in advance. However, they didn't expect the other party's attack to be this ferocious.
While the Divine Race soldiers were stunned, the ten waves of javelins exploded in their midst. The first five javelins had already destroyed their Domains. Then the last five javelins exploded, causing the Divine Race soldiers to lose their lives.
If there were ten thousand Divine Race soldiers and their Domains, then the area they occupied wouldn't be small. Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to use javelins to attack such a large Domain.
However, it shouldn't be forgotten that Aiken and the others were 9th ranks. 9th ranks were already considered top existences in the Ark Continent. Naturally, they weren't simple existences. Their javelins were able to reach a distance of a kilometer. On the other hand, the Divine Race were still in a battle formation. Although they were spread out, they still couldn't escape from Aiken and the others' javelins. This was because they were too close to Aiken and the others.
When the distance between the two sides was about 200 meters, they simultaneously attacked. It can be said that when they attacked, they were already in close combat. Fortunately, the ferghana horses that Aiken and the others were riding were very formidable. They made a turn and went around the Divine Race's formation. At the same time, this made it easier for Aiken and the others to attack.
When the Divine Race soldiers finally reacted, they sent people to chase after Aiken and the others. However, Aiken and the others were already out of sight. It was certain that they wouldn't be able to catch up.
Thunder Yun didn't care about this small contact. In his opinion, it was impossible for a small team of ten thousand people to make a move against a 20 million strong army. Moreover, the enemy was a team of 9th ranks. Just sending an army would be enough to destroy them.
However, Thunder Yun didn't expect that because of his underestimation of the enemy, he would suffer a huge loss. Not a single one of the ten thousand people came back to check. They weren't even injured, there weren't even any corpses. All of them had been vaporized by the explosion of the blood lightning bead.
Thunder Yun looked at the place where Aiken and the ten thousand Divine Race soldiers fought. He couldn't help but knit his brows as he muttered, "This is interesting. Fei 'er, pass down my orders. In the future, when we encounter an attack from the Ark Continent, we have to use ranged attacks. Don't get too close to them."
Fei 'er nodded and then went to pass down the order. However, the Divine Race soldiers weren't in a good mood. They had just come out of the Radiant Empire and had already lost ten thousand people. It can be said that they were at a disadvantage, this wasn't a good sign.
At this time, another group of Ark Continent cavalry appeared on their right. This group of Ark Continent cavalry was also riding Ferghana cavalry with javelins on their saddles. However, Zhao Hai's order for this group of people was to throw their javelins from afar and then immediately retreat.
Zhao Hai's group knew that although Domains were capable of ranged attacks, they couldn't reach a distance of a kilometer. On the other hand, a javelin thrown by a 9th rank expert could reach this distance. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't have them throw their javelins like Aiken did. Instead, he had them throw their javelins outside of the range of the Divine Race's Domain and then immediately retreat.
This tactic was similar to the tactics that the Prairie cavalry used to deal with infantry. They would hang from a distance and then seize the opportunity to shoot a rain of arrows. After that, they would retreat. Then they would seize the opportunity to shoot another wave of arrows. This was the method that Zhao Hai was using right now.
The Divine Race's army rarely encountered such a situation. In the past, when they fought with people from other planes, if the other side was also a Divine Race expert, then they would just set up a formation and rely on their large number of God-ranks as well as their powerful formations to defeat the other side in one go.
If the other party wasn't a God-rank, then it would be even easier to deal with them. This was because the other party simply didn't have any weapons that could hurt them.
In the past, the Thunder Continent was the most formidable existence that the Divine Race had ever encountered. In order to conquer the Thunder Continent, the Divine Race had to pay a huge price. This was because the Thunder Continent had a lot of God-ranks as well as battle formations. If the Divine Race didn't have a lot of God-ranks as well as a lot of slaves, then it would have been very difficult for them to conquer the Thunder Continent. Even so, the Divine Race had to pay a price of several million people in order to conquer the Thunder Continent.
This was the most dangerous battle that the Divine Race had ever encountered. However, the Divine Race had never encountered a situation like the Ark Continent's.
It was obvious that the Ark Continent's army didn't have God-rank strength. It can be said that there were only a few God-rank experts in the continent. However, the Ark Continent's army was able to make blood lightning beads that were lethal to God-rank experts. This made the Ark Continent's army very puzzled.
Although the Divine Race had a lot of God-ranks, it was impossible for them to produce blood lightning beads like the Ark Continent's army. In fact, blood lightning beads weren't their standard weapons at all. This was because the production of blood lightning beads was very troublesome. Even if God-ranks were to make them, they would still suffer a lot of damage. Because of this, blood lightning beads simply couldn't be used as a standard weapon by the Divine Race.
However, the Divine Race didn't expect Zhao Hai to have the Space. To put it bluntly, blood lightning beads were just a manifestation of energy. The Space had already recorded the energy of the Divine Race's blood. And with the addition of Zhao Hai's lightning element, blood lightning beads could be produced without limit. This made the Divine Race's army unable to deal with the blood lightning beads.
After the cavalry launched twelve waves of village spears, they retreated. The Divine Race couldn't chase after them, their speed was just too fast. However, the casualties they caused to the Divine Race weren't that high, less than a thousand casualties. For the 20 million strong Divine Race army, this wasn't a big deal.
However, Thunder Yun wasn't happy about this. He frowned as he thought about how to deal with this situation. The enemy's attacks were giving him a headache.
While Thunder Yun was thinking about this, another wave of attack came. It was still cavalry, javelins, and they were still very far away. They didn't give the Divine Race any chance to get close.
Thunder Yun's brows knit together. After some time, he turned his head to Fei 'er and said, "Fei' er, pass down my orders. Have the strongest long-range attackers and the fastest ones move to the outermost part of the army. If the Ark Continent's army is still here, then they should immediately attack. We can't let the Divine Race be harassed like this."
Fei 'er nodded and then went to pass down the order. Before long, the Divine Race army was in an uproar. Groups of soldiers were sent to the outermost part of the army. These people were people who relied on the Archery Domain. Just like what Thunder Yun said, the Archery Domain's long-range attacks weren't only long-range, they were also very fast.
Just as the Divine Race army finished changing their formation, the Ark Continent's fourth wave of attack came. This time, it was still cavalry. But this time, when the Divine Race army saw the incoming attack, they immediately sent a squad of Archers to meet them. It was obvious that they wanted to take the initiative and eliminate the Ark Continent's cavalry.
However, the Ark Continent's cavalry weren't stupid. When they saw the Divine Race taking the initiative to meet them, they immediately understood what was going on. They immediately turned their horses around and ran away, they didn't even need to attack.
When the Divine Race archers saw that they couldn't catch up to the enemy, they could only return to their own formation. However, just as they returned, the Ark Continent's cavalry returned as well. Once again, the Divine Race archers met them head-on, forcing them to retreat.
After repeating this several times, the Divine Race's Archers were finally enraged. When they saw that the enemy had retreated, they didn't immediately return to their formation. Instead, they chased after the Ark Continent's cavalry, vowing to destroy them.
When Thunder Yun saw the movements of the Ark Continent's cavalry, he couldn't help but get angry. The Ark Continent's way of fighting was too shameless. Obviously, they couldn't defeat the Ark Continent's cavalry, but they still stuck to the Ark Continent's cavalry. This made the Ark Continent annoyed.
Because of this, Thunder Yun didn't stop the Archers from chasing after the Ark Continent's cavalry. He wanted to see how far the Ark Continent's cavalry could run.
However, it didn't take long before Thunder Yun regretted his decision. Not long after the Archers left, undead archers suddenly appeared. These undead were skeletons, and their speed was very fast. They didn't run like the Ark Continent's cavalry, instead, they looked as if they wanted to go all out against the Divine Race's Archers. The Divine Race's Archers immediately stopped and readied themselves to meet the enemy. But at this time, a change occurred.
