The three Great Commanders sighed in their hearts. If it weren't for the fact that the enemy did not have enough people, they would have been the ones to die in the end.
However, the situation was not looking good either. The enemy's reinforcements had already arrived outside the city.
Fortunately, they also received some good news. The reinforcements from the Immortal Court were already on their way.
Besides, the reinforcements were led by two Marshals, and there were thirty thousand Martial Monarchs among them. No matter how brave the enemy was, they would only end up dead.
The Shangyuan Immortal King was aware of the situation in Willow Water City. It was reasonable for him to be so nervous. After all, the thing under the city was extremely important.
Meanwhile, in the capital of the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom, in the Immortal Court, the Shangyuan Immortal King was pacing back and forth in his palace in a gloomy mood.
After he learned about the bandits, he didn't take it too seriously.
In the Shangyuan Immortal King's opinion, he would just send his men to take down the bandits when they showed up again.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he was unable to imagine that something like this would actually happen. The speed at which the bandits attacked the city was actually this fast. In fact, they had even attacked Willow Water City.
Willow Water City was only a remote city to begin with. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a poor place without any wealth.
It was obvious that the bandits were after wealth. Logically speaking, they should not be interested in Willow Water City.
In the end, the bandits decided to attack Willow Water City regardless of the consequences.
Adding on the information from the cities up ahead, it was clear that the bandits were extremely greedy. They didn't just target the high-ranked cities, but all the cities in the vicinity of the capital city. They wanted to take down every single city in the vicinity of the capital city.
Their greed had led them to discover Willow Water City.
The Shangyuan Immortal King had coveted Willow Water City for a long time. He would not allow anyone to interfere and destroy it.
Among the four Great Marshals of the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom, two of them had been sent to Willow Water City, while the last one was sent to the front line to defend against the bandits.
However, before the matter of Willow Water City was settled, the Shangyuan Immortal King had ordered his men to focus on delaying the enemy.
"I hope this matter will be settled without any mishaps," the Shangyuan Immortal King took a deep breath and prayed in his heart that nothing bad would happen.
He wanted to go to Willow Water City right now.
However, as the Immortal King of the Shang Yuan Celestial Kingdom, many of his actions would be seen by others. Once he made a move, the entire Shang Yuan Celestial Kingdom would be alerted and the surrounding forces would discover him.
A Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator would cause too much of a commotion. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Shangyuan Immortal King was not willing to do it himself.
Once he made a move, he would provoke other forces to come over and join in the fray.
At that time, he wouldn't be able to keep it to himself.
He also knew how tempting the item beneath Willow Water City was.
Outside Willow Water City, the Emperor Battleship's dragon head suddenly opened. The Soul Cannon on the battleship revealed its ferocious barrel. Soul Qi accumulated and shot out.
Boom!
A deafening roar rang out as the Soul Cannons condensed from Spiritual Qi whistled through the air and shot towards the formation barrier.
Dong!
There was a loud sound as the Soul Cannon struck the barrier of the formation, giving off a dull explosion.
The overwhelming might of the soul cannon struck the Willow Water City, causing the entire city to sway left and right.
This showed how terrifying the attack of the Soul Cannon was.
However, Lin Qian's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the commotion caused by the Soul Cannon. "There seems to be something beneath the city."
Although the Soul Cannon on the Emperor Battleship was powerful, it was impossible for it to destroy the entire city with a single shot.
Lin Qian guessed that there was something beneath Willow Water City that was probably empty, which was why the entire city was shaking after being struck by the Soul Cannon.
This was because the foundation beneath the city was unstable. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so unstable.
"Interesting." Lin Qian smiled when he saw the commotion caused by the Willow Water City. "It's obvious that there's something strange beneath the city. I'm afraid that's why the Shang Yuan Celestial Kingdom is so anxious about this place."
Lin Zu and Ye Xuanyan nodded in agreement after hearing what Lin Qian said. They felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
However, after the Soul Cannon bombardment, it did not break the other party's barrier. Although it was slightly damaged, it quickly recovered.
Even though Lin Qian's side had expended a lot of resources from the Soul Cannon, the other party's formation had to be sustained by Soul Crystals.
Just as Lin Qian had expected, the leader who had set up the formation in the Willow Water City's City Lord's residence looked pained.
This was because he knew very well how many soul crystals it would take for his defensive barrier to withstand such a blast from his opponent's soul cannon.
"Fortunately, we have a lot of Soul Crystals. We should be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive." Another leader tried to persuade him.
The leader who was proficient in formations could only nod in agreement.
However, the Scribes of the Ministry of Heavenly Works on the Emperor Battleship had already obtained a lot of information about the other party's formation through the attack of the Soul Cannon on the battleship.
"We need more information about the formation." The Scribes of the Ministry of Heavenly Works thought about it and suggested to Lin Qian. "Your Majesty, we need more information."
"Qing Yu, in position!" Lin Qian nodded to himself after hearing the request of the Scribes of the Ministry of Heavenly Works. He ordered Qing Yu from the Empire's army to get into position. She stood by the railings of the Emperor Battleship and nocked her bow.
Qing Yu then started to attack. She was a soldier with a terrifying firing speed. The moment she started to attack, the air in front of her was already covered by a dense rain of arrows.
In an instant, the special arrows condensed from Soul Qi fell on the other party's barrier like raindrops, not sparing a single corner.
Some of the arrows even drilled into the ground and hit the barrier hidden under the soil.
The Emperor Battleship also flew around Willow Water City slowly. The Qing Yu on the battleship continued to attack.
They weren't strong, so they didn't consume much Soul Qi. However, there were many of them.
Their attacks also caused the consumption of the Soul Crystals of the other party to increase rapidly. The Soul Crystals that were originally stored to maintain the operation of the formation were decreasing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
This scene caused the three captains to be on the verge of tears. This was originally the wealth that they had accumulated over the years.
"Stop shooting!" In the end, the formation master among the leaders couldn't help but run to the city wall and roar.
