Perhaps it was because the Fifth Corps divine guards had behaved too casually before entering the battlefield, but in the eyes of Batúk and the others, the Fifth Corps divine guards led by Han Shuo were the easiest to deal with. When Batúk's Seventh Corps company took the initiative to attack Bollands and his party, Batúk put on a cheerful face and secretly praised Han Shuo's party.
Not only Batúk, even Rugersey of the Sixth Corps thought that Bollands and his party were too vulnerable. Rugersey couldn't help but take a glance at Batúk when he saw that Batúk's divine guards were the first to attack Han Shuo's Fifth Corps divine guards. His eyes were filled with frustration as though he had been robbed of the divine essences.
It appeared that not only Batúk, but even Rugersey also had the idea of snatching the divine essences from Han Shuo's Fifth Corps. But unfortunately, Wallace had stipulated that once a battle broke out between two parties, the other party was not allowed to intervene or join forces! Therefore, when Batúk's party started fighting, Rugersey's divine guards could not participate even if they wanted to.
Before the Fourth Corps divine guards and Second Corps divine guards could gather, Batúk's Seventh Corps divine guards and Han Shuo's Fifth Corps divine guards had already started fighting!
The crowd's attention was immediately drawn to the Seventh and Fifth Corps divine guards. Both Wallace and Andre had focused their eyes. They wanted to know the true strength of the Fifth Corps. Now that they could clearly see the Fifth Corps' strength through the miniaturized map on the sand table, they felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Unlike Batúk and Rugersey, ever since the two brothers learned that Han Shuo had defeated City Lord Hofs of Hushveil City, they no longer treated Han Shuo as an ordinary Chief of Divine Guards! When Bollands and his party entered the battlefield, they were laughing and chatting leisurely with a vague air of arrogance. Wallace and Andre did not believe that the Fifth Corps would be the easiest to defeat.
"Hmph, Batúk, you sure are lucky!" Camilla, the Chief of Fourth Corps, was filled with indignation as he watched Kiffan's army aggressively approach him. When he noticed that Batúk's men had allowed Kiffan of the Second Corps to pass by him without engaging him in battle, he was immediately filled with indignation when he noticed that Batúk's men were picking on the Fifth Corps to take advantage of them.
"Hehe, the strategy of my subordinates is better!" Ba Teng was not humble, and his face was full of pride.
After saying that, Batúk looked at Han Shuo a little embarrassedly and said with a smile, "Lord Brian, although I can't show mercy in the battle, I've instructed them in advance. Don't worry, they know what they're doing and won't hurt your people! "
By saying this, it meant that Ba Teng had given the order beforehand. It looked like from the beginning, Ba Teng had treated Han Shuo's Fifth Bureau as the weakest. However, as the House of Buller still needed to purchase his medicines from the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Batúk did not wish to offend Han Shuo too much. Therefore, he had instructed his subordinates not to make things too difficult for Han Shuo.
Han Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and pretended to be grateful. "Thank you, Lord Batúk!"
Just as Batúk was about to say a few humble words to ease the tension between him and Han Shuo, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the battle taking place on the sand table. His expression immediately changed and he couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Through the miniature model on the sand table, the crowd could clearly see the Fifth Corps divine guards led by Bollands. They were positioned in a cone-shaped formation like a sharp longsword, thrusting at the Seventh Corps divine guards that were charging at them!
The three black dots at the forefront were Bollands, Gilbert, and Sanguinar. The three were at the forefront of the cone-shaped formation. They were like the tip of a sharp blade that pierced straight into the heart of the Seventh Corps! They were charging towards the area where the divine essences shone brightly like a hot knife through butter. It was obvious that they were preparing to rob the divine essences guarded by the Seventh Corps!
With Bollands, Sanguinar, and Sanguinar in the lead, the divine guards who had been tempered in the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation suddenly radiated intense killing intent. They attacked with divine weapons and divine energies. They cooperated with each other and charged forward!
Gilbert wore an enraged face. He blasted away the Seventh Corps divine guards in front of him with his darkness divine energy. He cursed, "Goddamnit, do you really think we are easy to bully? I have no intention of robbing your divine essences. How dare you attack us? You must be tired of living! "
Han Shuo was infuriated. He had originally planned to deal with Gilbert and the others from the Second Corps and was leisurely searching for divine essences that might have been hidden. But suddenly, he noticed that Tuno, the Chief of the Seventh Corps, had surrounded them with a sinister smile on his face. Without saying a word, Tuno and his men charged at Han Shuo and the others.
From Hei Long's point of view, he was already giving them face by not killing them. He did not expect that those people would not know how to appreciate his kindness and would provoke him!
"Hei Long, don't kill them! Don't go too far! "shouted Bollands in a cold voice. He knew Hei Long's temperament very well.
Bollands could tell that Tuno and his men were only after the divine essences they were guarding. Although the Seventh Corps divine guards were asking for a beating, they did not show any intention of killing. Before entering the Seventh Corps, Han Shuo had instructed Bollands that other than the Second Corps divine guards, the other teams were to act according to the attitude of the other teams.
After observing for a while, when Bollands realized that the Seventh Corps' target was only the Divine Crystal, he immediately gestured to the others, indicating that they shouldn't be too ruthless and should just snatch the opponent's Divine Crystal!
Gilbert could be considered to have some trust in Bollands. Therefore, after hearing Bollands' shout, he cursed angrily for a few more times before he, Sanguinar, and Bollands continued to clear a path for Tuno from the House of Buller who was coming from another direction.
Tuno, the Chief of the Seventh Corps, was now filled with regret. When he saw Bollands and his two companions barging in like maniacs and blasting away the divine guards around him, Tuno realized that he had messed with an iron plate!
Tuno immediately mobilized his experts to intercept Sanguis and the others. He also ordered a few squad leaders to attack from the flank. From Tuno's point of view, only Sanguis and the other two divine guards of the Fifth Corps were powerful. The rest of the divine guards were newbies. However, he soon discovered that he was wrong. When the squad leaders reported to him in a dejected manner that the enemy's flanks were tightly guarded, Tuno knew that the situation was grave!
With Sanguinar, Bollands, and Gilbert leading the way, they were like a sharp blade stabbing straight into the heart of the Seventh Corps. None of the divine guards, including Tuno, could come up with any effective countermeasures. They could only watch as the trio and their divine guards charged straight towards the divine essences.
The battle on the sand table was in full swing. Outside the sand table, Ba Teng's face gradually turned pale. The patriarchs of the four major family clans and the Divine Guard Chiefs who were discussing the situation in low voices suddenly quieted down as though they had agreed to meet.
The crowd surrounded the sand table, their eyes fixed on the Fifth Corps divine guards who were charging forward as though there was no one else around them. Their faces were grave and solemn.
They are not on the same level!
That was the thought in everyone's mind!
Han Shuo's Fifth Corps divine guards were like a sharp sword that could cut through anything. They rampaged through the Seventh Corps divine guards without encountering any resistance. From their vantage point, they could clearly see the sharpness and strength of the Fifth Corps' formation. In the face of such strength, Tuno's Seventh Corps divine guards could do nothing but evade. There was no way they could retaliate!
The gap was too huge!
Wallace glanced at Han Shuo in amazement and discovered that Han Shuo had a faint, indifferent smile on his face. He didn't seem to be happy about anything, nor was he sad about himself. It was as if all the changes in the sand table couldn't affect him at all. This kind of calmness and composure, as if everything was under his control, was something that even Wallace couldn't achieve.
This youngster is too unbelievable! Thought Wallace. He couldn't help but recall Andre's suggestion and turned to look at Andre.
The two were standing next to each other. Andre immediately sensed Wallace's gaze. He put on a bitter smile and shook his head. He softly exclaimed, "I knew that the Fifth Corps wouldn't be that easy to deal with!"
"Lord Brian, you are cheating!" Batúk suddenly shouted in a low voice. The changes happening in the sand table had forced him to lose his composure. After drawing everyone's attention, Batúk pointed at Bollands, Sanguinar, and Gilbert at the forefront of the cone formation and said, "They are too powerful. Even my divine guards have late-stage midgod strengths. Yet, they couldn't stop their rampage. This is clearly not something that three midgods can do!"
After hearing Batúk's words, the crowd thought carefully and agreed with him.
Ralph, the Chief of the Second Corps, was just as furious. After witnessing the astonishing strength displayed by the Fifth Corps, Ralph was even more furious than Batúk. Even if Batúk were to fail, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now, the Fifth Corps had seriously threatened the position of the Second Corps in the City of Shadows.
Most importantly, before Kiffan entered the arena, Ralph had given Kiffan the order to kill the Fifth Corps divine guards. But at this rate, who knew who would be the one getting killed?
"That's right. The strength of those three is uncannily strong! I don't think that three midgods can break through the defenses of a dozen or so late-stage midgod divine guards in such a short time! " Ralph put on a gloomy face and said in a low voice. He shot a cold glance at Han Shuo and said, "Lord Brian, you didn't arrange for a highgod to enter the arena, did you?"
Batúk and Ralph were not the only ones who had the same question. All the other Divine Guard Chiefs were also puzzled. Upon hearing those words, everyone turned to look at Han Shuo. Andre was the only one who bunched his brows.
Han Shuo chuckled, shook his head, and said, "With the same strength, if they know how to coordinate their attacks, they will be able to display a different amount of attack power. This is nothing to be surprised about. If those of the same strength could display the same amount of attack power, I believe that the competition between teams would be meaningless. According to what you said, shouldn't all late-stage midgods fight to a draw? "
"It is true that a team can display great strength when they work together. But the attack power displayed by those three is a little too ridiculous!" Batúk explained with his brows bunched.
Han Shuo burst into laughter and confidently said, "It's not ridiculous at all. It's just that none of you have seen it before!"
