"Has the Assassination Guild gone mad? They've mobilized all of their forces! "
"They've obviously found out about Lin Yun's death. That's why they've mobilized all of their forces to launch an all-out attack on us."
"The difference in numbers is too great. No matter how we fight this battle, we have no chance of winning!"
Behind the Great Qin Marshal, the dozen or so generals discussed among themselves. They were all anxious.
They had no chance of winning against this million-strong army, not to mention that there were assassins from the Assassination Guild among them.
"Marshal, give the order." A general stepped forward and knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and asked the Great Qin Marshal for the order.
"As long as the stronghold is there, our homeland is there." The Great Qin Marshal spat out these seven words. Just these seven words were enough to show his determination.
These seven short words seemed to have some sort of infectious power, causing the generals present to involuntarily miss their wives and children in their homeland.
As soon as they thought of their wives and children in their homeland, the bit of fear in their hearts towards death completely disappeared without a trace.
There was only one thought left in all of their minds: As long as the stronghold is there, our homeland is there. As long as our homeland is there, our wives and children are there.
"As long as the stronghold is there, our homeland is there!"
The generals shouted these words in unison. Determination flashed through their eyes, as if they had already made up their minds.
"Everyone, take your positions." The Great Qin Marshal held the Sky-Splitting Battleaxe and swung it forward with one hand.
The generals immediately turned into a dozen or so golden lights and dispersed, going to their respective positions to command the soldiers.
The Great Qin Marshal also went up to the command platform and began to command the entire army. "Everyone, get ready!"
Even though they were in a hopeless situation, there was no fear on the Great Qin Marshal's face.
The Great Qin Marshal's calmness was like a reassurance pill, causing the allied soldiers to slightly perk up.
The allied soldiers all drew their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the vast army outside the city, ready to go.
Just as they were about to enter the allied army's firing range, the vast, tide-like enemy suddenly stopped advancing and stopped in place, facing off against the allied army.
Banners of all colors rolled among the densely packed enemy troops. All sorts of drums and bugles mixed together, resounding through the sky and becoming the main melody of this area.
"What's going on?" The soldiers of the allied forces were puzzled. The enemy's momentum was terrifying, so why didn't they take advantage of it and attack in one go?
Great Qin's General stood on the command platform, coldly observing the enemy's formation.
This super army consisted mainly of infantry, with cavalry as support.
The Infantrymen had different equipment. Some held spears in both hands, some wore heavy armor and held huge swords, and some held shields and machetes.
The mounts of the cavalrymen came in all shapes and sizes. There were large mounts such as elephants and rhinoceroses, and medium-sized mounts such as lions, tigers, warhorses, and so on. There were also some people who rode on wolves and lizards.
With such a messy formation and so many different types of soldiers, it was obvious that this was not the military strength of a single country.
From these types of soldiers, Great Qin's Generals could confirm that this super army was made up of almost all of the Royal Kingdoms in the eastern side.
It seemed that this time, the assassins really intended to wipe out the allied forces in one fell swoop.
The Great Qin Marshal's gaze swept across the densely packed army and finally landed on a small black dot on the horizon a dozen or so kilometers away.
It was a huge war chariot surrounded by a vast army. Although Great Qin's Marshal was quite far away, he could still barely see that there was a luxurious and domineering throne on the huge war chariot.
And on that throne sat a man wearing a black robe.
Because the two were too far away, Great Qin's Marshal couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he could feel the powerful aura from him. He could even feel an unprecedented pressure from that powerful aura!
Even from a dozen or so kilometers away, the aura still contained such a terrifying pressure. He couldn't imagine just how powerful the owner of this aura was!
"Soldiers of the allied forces!"
Accompanied by a cold voice, a red-eyed, red-haired man walked out from the dense army.
This man also had a meteor dart totem branded on his forehead, and the number '5' was engraved below the totem. This meant that he was the fifth-ranked assassin in the Assassination Guild.
After taking a few steps, Number 5 said to the allied forces, "If you don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices, quickly open the pass of the stronghold and surrender!"
Great Qin's Marshal's expression didn't change as he said, "Surrender? Don't even think about it! Every single one of our soldiers is a tough man with a firm and unyielding character. To protect our country, they would rather take a step forward and die than take a step back and live! "
Number 5 laughed mockingly, then asked Great Qin's Marshal, "You're Great Qin's Marshal, right?"
"That's me!" Great Qin's Marshal didn't change his surname.
Number 5 looked at Great Qin's Marshal condescendingly. "In a mortal country, you're the hero in the hearts of the people, the faith of the soldiers in the army. But before we met with the Assassination Guild, you were just an ordinary person.
Do you know what kind of faction you're going against? The Assassination Guild is definitely not as simple as you think! "
"I know that even if we, the second-grade factions, join forces, it'll be very difficult to fight against a third-grade faction. But even so, we won't give up!" Great Qin's Marshal said firmly.
"Third-grade faction?" Number 5 seemed to have heard a funny joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Great Qin's Marshal asked in confusion.
Number 5 looked at Great Qin's Marshal with disdain. "If you think the Assassination Guild is just a third-grade faction, then you're gravely mistaken!"
Hearing Number 5's words, the faces of all the generals present instantly changed, as if they had heard something incredible.
"What did you say?" Although Great Qin's Marshal's expression didn't change, his tone was clearly not very calm.
Number 5 laughed coldly, then said to Great Qin's Marshal, "You must think that our Assassination Guild has already moved out in full force, and we're all of the Assassination Guild, right?
But what I want to tell you is that we're just a branch of the Assassination Guild, not even the tip of the iceberg of the Assassination Guild!
"There are already 72 branches of the same scale as us in the Sky Martial Continent! And our headquarters is a fourth-grade faction in the God Domain! "
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the originally calm sky.
The flash of light suddenly engraved on everyone's faces. That expression of shock, fear, and despair made that instant seem like it would last for eternity.
Everyone couldn't believe their ears, as if they had heard the most inconceivable thing in the world.
Fourth-grade faction?
