The gates of the northern fortress of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom were tightly shut. Countless fist-sized holes had appeared on the walls, each of which had a crossbow bolt as thick as an arm protruding from it. The walls were filled with soldiers, and each of them had a magic crystal cannon mounted on them. The black muzzles of the cannons were pointed straight ahead, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Three kilometers away from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the million-strong army of the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire had already spread out in all directions to prevent the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's magic crystal cannons from firing at them. The soldiers were as dense as ants, covering the entire empty space. However, the soldiers of the Qin Empire and the Kingdom of Gesun had already split into two camps. The Kai Clan's Eastern Divine Sword Legion stood at the front, while the Kingdom of Gesun's five hundred thousand soldiers stood at the back. After all, the Eastern Divine Sword Legion was the main force in this attack on the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. The Kingdom of Gesun and its five hundred thousand soldiers were only there to act as a facade.
After all, the Kingdom of Gesun had just been baptized by the flames of war not too long ago. Its national strength was at an all-time low, and it could no longer endure any more setbacks.
With Jianchen in the lead, the ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, as well as Qin Wuming and his two sons, slowly approached the fortress on their magical beast mounts. Kaffir and Ye Ming were responsible for the safety of the king and princess You Yue. The Qin Empire was the only one contributing to this battle. The Kingdom of Gesun didn't need to do anything at all.
As Jian Chen's group approached, eleven experts appeared on the walls of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's fortress. All of them stared at the fourteen people slowly approaching on their magical beast mounts with stern expressions.
George stared at Jianchen fearfully and said in a deep voice, "The young man at the very front is the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten. Everyone, be careful." George's wounds had completely healed under the combined efforts of several Radiant Saint Masters. He seemed to be glowing right now.
The experts standing on both sides of George nodded solemnly. They had already received George's warning. They knew that the young man walking at the front was young, but he was very difficult to deal with.
Jian Chen led the thirteen experts to a stop five hundred meters away from the fortress. With their strength as Heaven Saint Masters, the magic crystal cannons and crossbow bolts used to deal with the ordinary soldiers of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom posed no threat to them at all. They directly treated them like they were nothing.
"Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, I'll give you ten breaths of time to consider. Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist will be killed without mercy!" Jianchen bellowed out. His voice was like thunder, reverberating in the surroundings for a long time. With a rumble, the sound waves actually caused the fortress of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom to tremble slightly. A thick layer of dust fell from the fortress.
The experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom did not want to fall behind either. Someone immediately yelled out, "Kingdom of Gesun, you may have the support of the Qin Empire, but our Heavenly Eagle Kingdom is not afraid of you. If you have the courage, then attack the fortress. Our entire army of five million has been waiting for you for a long time."
A cold light flickered through Jianchen's eyes as a sneer appeared on his lips. He said, "Commander Qin Wuming, give the order!"
"Yes, Imperial Protector!" Qin Wuming clasped his hands in response. He then raised his hands high and yelled, "Eastern Divine Sword Legion, attack the fortress!"
"Kill!"
As soon as Qin Wuming's voice fell, a shocking battle cry came from behind him. For a moment, the sound of hooves was deafening. The five hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion moved at the same time. They were like a group of wild horses that had broken free from their reins. They were like a flood that rushed toward the fortress of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
Among them, the most eye-catching was a small team of around five hundred people. They ran at the very front of the army, leaving the army behind them far behind.
This squad of five hundred people was the most elite squad in the Eastern Deity Sword Legion. They were completely made up of Earth Saint Masters. They were specifically tasked with scaling the walls of the enemy during sieges and destroying the magic crystal cannons and crossbows that the enemy had set up on the walls.
"Fire the Magic Crystal Cannons!"
"Fire the Fortified Crossbows!"
At the same time, the general of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom also gave the order. His voice that was filled with vigor entered the ears of every soldier. Immediately, the muffled sound of cannons rang out from the walls. Several hundred balls of fire with powerful energy waves smashed toward the soldiers of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion. Several thousand Fortified Crossbows turned into a black cloud as they shot out from the walls with ear-piercing sounds.
These Fortified Crossbows could only kill Great Saint Masters. They were not much of a threat to Earth Saint Masters. The five hundred elites running at the very front all had the strength of an Earth Saint Master. They quickly waved the Saint Weapons in their hands and blocked all the Fortified Crossbows that were shot at them.
Although there were a lot of crossbow bolts, thousands of them, the attack area was very large, so they were scattered. After a wave of bolts was fired, even the speed of the five hundred elite troops did not slow down in the slightest.
Boom boom boom boom …
A series of violent explosions rang out as several hundred energy shells fired from the Magic Crystal Cannons bombarded the ground, creating a deep crater.
The soldiers of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion were already prepared for the Magic Crystal Cannons. Everyone had spread out long ago, keeping a certain distance between each other. As a result, the terrifying destructive power and area of effect of the Magic Crystal Cannons were not displayed at all. This led to a wave of attacks that had a completely disproportionate effect. Only a dozen or so soldiers of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion were injured.
The advance of the five hundred people of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion was simply unstoppable. The magical beasts they were riding were Class 3 and Class 4 Magical Beasts that were good at running. In just a few breaths of time, they had crossed several kilometers and arrived at the walls of the fortress. Then, the magical beasts carried their riders and leaped up at the same time. Their sharp claws easily tore through the layer of iron outside the walls as they rapidly climbed up the walls.
"Pour the oil!" The general of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom immediately ordered.
Immediately, several hundred barrels of boiling oil were carried up the walls by the soldiers in an attempt to stop the enemy from climbing up the walls.
However, before they could pour the oil, an ear-piercing sound pierced through the air from afar. Countless half meter long crossbows were shot from the front, riddling their bodies with thousands of holes. Not only did the oil not pour down, but because of the death of these soldiers, it lost its support and fell down one by one on the walls. The boiling oil spilled out, causing a raging fire to erupt on the walls. Thick black smoke rose up from the walls, as if to prove the tragedy of the battle.
Below the walls, many of the Kai Clan's soldiers were already half-kneeling on the ground. Each of them held a small crossbow in their hands and shot arrows at the people on the walls from afar, providing cover for the five hundred elite soldiers. The small crossbows that were only half a meter long were continuously shot out from their hands, killing all the soldiers that tried to stop the five hundred elite soldiers.
The five hundred elite soldiers quickly climbed up the hundred-meter-tall walls of the fortress on their magical beast mounts. Then, they waved their Saint Weapons and mercilessly slaughtered the soldiers that were controlling the magic crystal cannons and crossbows. In just a moment, miserable cries rang out from the walls. The originally orderly soldiers of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom were immediately thrown into chaos with the addition of the five hundred elite soldiers from the Qin Empire.
In front of an Earth Saint Master, even a Great Saint Master would become extremely weak. The weaker ones would appear even more insignificant. Only other Earth Saint Masters could stop the five hundred elite soldiers from advancing, but that was only in a one on one situation. Moreover, the chances of victory were extremely slim.
The Heavenly Eagle Kingdom's fortress was in a state of chaos. The hundreds of magic crystal cannons and crossbow carts had gradually stopped their attacks. In the end, not a single magic crystal cannon or crossbow bolt could be fired. The powerful defensive equipment had become mere decorations.
At the same time, the ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire all flew into the sky. Their powerful presences firmly locked onto the eleven Heaven Saint Masters of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, stopping them from moving forward to deal with the small group of elites that had already climbed up the walls.
The experts of both sides did not move. Everyone knew that a battle between twenty Heaven Saint Masters would be an earth-shaking scene. Once the battle began, the mountains would collapse. Although the sturdy fortress of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom would be destroyed, the armies of both sides would also suffer extremely heavy losses.
An entire five million soldiers of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom were gathered behind the fortress. The army was extremely dense. Once a battle between Heaven Saint Masters broke out, the shockwaves of energy would cause incalculable losses to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. On the other hand, the Qin Empire only had an army of five hundred thousand. It could be said that the lives of every single soldier were much more precious and important than those of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. The ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire were even more unwilling to see the soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion die in such a scene. This caused the experts of both sides to become fearful. No one wanted to make a move so easily.
The five hundred small groups of elites slaughtered in all directions on the walls. No one could stop them. Even if they were occasionally obstructed by the Earth Saint Masters of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, they would very quickly be killed by the combined forces of several small groups of elites.
At this moment, quite a few of the five hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion had charged to the bottom of the walls. They all used the same method to scale the walls before engaging in an intense battle with the soldiers on the walls.
Not long after, the tightly shut gates of the fortress were opened by a few soldiers in silver-white armor. The soldiers of the Eastern Deity Sword Legion that had been waiting outside immediately let out earth-shaking battle cries as they charged in.
