The Han family guards were like an invincible, cold sword that pierced towards the Second Corps divine guards brought by Ralph. The Han family guards were arranged in small groups of three to five and a dozen to a large group. They were arranged neatly and orderly. They maintained the most appropriate distance between each other.
When charging at Ralph's Second Corps divine guards, the Han family guards seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other. They used the most efficient demonic formations to open up a path for them, increasing their offensive strength to the maximum. Wherever their blades pointed, they would unleash an astonishing amount of power.
The Han family guards wore indifferent expressions. They calmly and calmly searched for their own positions, making sure that every step they took would not make the slightest mistake …
If one were to observe from above, one would discover that the distance between each group of Han family guards was astonishingly uniform. There were even larger groups formed between the groups. Those guards with profound strength and outstanding offensive strength were at the outer edge of the formation, acting as the spearhead of the attack. Those guards with slightly weaker strength but cultivated in the elemental energy of earth, water, or other elemental energies stood in the middle. They used their energy to form layers upon layers of boundaries to defend against the attacks coming from the outside.
These Han family guards might not be much stronger than the Second Corps divine guards in individual strength. But when they banded together and used the energy they were most proficient in at the most opportune moment, the energy they could erupt with would suddenly become terrifying!
The Second Corps divine guards had taken defensive measures right from the start. As Ralph, Bollands, and Gilbert, who were leading the charge, were obstructed by Sanguinar, Bollands, and Gilbert, and without the three highgods to open up a path for them, in addition to the fact that the Second Corps divine guards were somewhat fearful of the strength of the Han family guards, they naturally adopted a defensive stance.
However, they had clearly underestimated the strength of the Han family guards!
Under the cone-shaped assault formation, the defensive walls that the Second Corps divine guards hastily formed were as fragile as paper. Upon contact, they were effortlessly torn to shreds!
Immediately after, the Han family guards thrust themselves into the middle of the Second Corps divine guards. Small and large groups spread out like a lotus flower and reaped the lives of the Second Corps divine guards at the outermost perimeter.
The difference in numbers between the two sides wasn't too great. However, when the Second Corps divine guards' attacks landed on the Han family guards, the attacks would be neutralized by the Han family divine guards who were focused on defense. On the other hand, the Han family divine guards who were in charge of killing could focus all their energy on killing the Han family divine guards.
With that, a strange phenomenon occurred – the attacks of the Second Corps divine guards would not have any effect on the House of Han. At most, they would cause some injuries to the House of Han but none of the injuries were fatal. However, when the attacks of the Han family divine guards fell into the middle of the Second Corps divine guards, they would cause great casualties.
The lack of coordination between the Second Corps divine guards was immediately exposed. They did not know how to work together. Every time an attack was launched, they would put all their energy into protecting their own lives. It was obvious that their attacks would be ineffective. They were very selfish and would not care about the lives of others. They would even sacrifice their wounded to kill the enemy when a fatal attack was launched …
The gap between the two sides was immediately exposed. As time went by, the gap between the two sides grew bigger and bigger. Most of the miserable shrieks and screams were from the Second Corps divine guards. In just a short while, more than a hundred of them had died under the bombardment of the Han family guards.
The Han family divine guards, on the other hand, only suffered a dozen or so wounded and two divine guards were killed!
The Han family divine guards who knew how to coordinate and utilize demonic formations to maximize their offensive and defensive strength were far superior to the Second Corps divine guards in terms of teamwork. In this large-scale battle, the Han family divine guards had the absolute upper hand and were slaughtering the Second Corps divine guards one after another.
Ralph was tangled up by Sanguinar. Under the frenzied barrage of crimson rays, Ralph felt rather helpless. He did not expect that Sanguinar would possess such formidable strength. Ralph was forced into a passive position right from the start of the battle.
Ralph's heart was filled with remorse when he saw his divine guards screaming and screaming. Not only had he underestimated the strength of Sanguinar, Bollands, and the others, but he had also misjudged the situation. He did not expect that not only were the Han family divine guards that escaped from Fort Lasberg not injured, but there were even a few who were exhausted.
What the hell is wrong with Hofs and Larikson! Two late-stage highgod experts and so many Hushveil City divine guards had failed to inflict the slightest damage on the House of Han. What in the world was going on?! Ralph cursed and cursed as he watched his divine guards die one after another. He did not know what to do next.
Before him, Sanguinar was glaring at him with his blood-red eyes. A broadsword that reeked of blood whizzed through the air, causing the blood in Ralph's body to become chaotic and out of control.
Ralph was confident that he could defeat Sanguis. He could see that Sanguis was merely relying on his special energy to destabilize Ralph's blood and his frenzied attacks to gain the upper hand. From Ralph's point of view, Sanguinar was like an arrow at the end of its flight and wouldn't be able to hold on for long. All he needed to do was evade Sanguinar's barrage of attacks for a while before he could defeat Sanguinar with ease.
However, Ralph knew that if this went on, the casualties of his subordinates would only increase. If he were to fight Sanguis to the death, he would have to pay a terrible price even if he could defeat Sanguis in the end. Sanguis' frenzied attacks would only increase in number.
Ralph did not want to lose his life for the sake of a single Sanguinar. Therefore, he had been silently stalling for time. He would rather let his divine guards die one after another than risk their lives to fight Sanguinar.
Ralph, who was silently defending against Sanguinar's barrage of attacks, was looking forward to seeing Lockwood and Wallace's reinforcements. While defending against Sanguinar's attacks, Ralph paid close attention to their movements.
Ralph felt a chill run down his spine when he saw what was happening.
Lockwood and Wallace's two trusted aides were also being obstructed. And from the looks of it, their situation was even worse than Ralph's. Under the frenzied barrage of attacks from Bollands and Gilbert, Lockwood and Wallace's situation was worrying. They were like candles in the wind that could be blown out at any moment.
It's no wonder that the House of Han was able to win the last battle. They even said that they didn't send any highgods to participate in the battle. Ralph cursed in his mind. He did not know that Sanguinar, Bollands, and the others did not possess the strength that they did today. He believed that the reason why the Fifth Corps was able to suppress his Second Corps was because Sanguinar, Gilbert, and Sanguinar were too powerful.
I can't let this go on. Otherwise, we will all be finished. After weighing the situation, Ralph decided not to passively take defensive measures anymore. He began to attack without regard for his own life. He began to fight Sanguinar with all his might.
After all, Ralph possessed mid-stage highgod strength. When he no longer had to be so cautious, when he no longer had a knot in his heart, his strength had improved tremendously. While expending divine energy to stabilize his blood flow, he continued to fight Sanguinar with all his might.
With that, Sanguinar could no longer gain the upper hand. He had no choice but to fight even more desperately against Ralph. It did not take long for his body to be covered with wounds. However, for some unknown reason, whenever the wounds caused blood to gush out, Sanguinar felt that the blood in his body became even more vigorous. His broadsword that reeked of blood glowed even brighter.
The more he fought, the fiercer he became!
In just a dozen or so minutes, the Second Corps divine guards were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. More than three hundred of them had been killed by the Han Family Guards. The Han Family, on the other hand, had lost three more dead and more than twenty wounded. Compared to the losses suffered by the Second Corps, the Han Family Guards had won an overwhelming victory.
"Go all out, kill every last one of them!" commanded Phoebe from the Han Family Guard Center with a cold face. She could tell that Sanguinar, Bollands, Gilbert, and the others were fighting with all their might and might not be able to hold on for much longer. They had to defeat the Second Corps divine guards as quickly as possible so that they could deal with Ralph, Rockwood, and the other two.
Under Phoebe's command, the House of Han's army changed yet again. They changed from a cone-shaped charging formation to a lotus blade formation that scattered in all directions. The seven hundred soldiers were divided into seven brigades. They spread out like blades and started slaughtering the flustered Second Corps divine guards.
It was obvious that this formation was even more lethal. As soon as the seven companies spread out, they dragged the Second Corps divine guards into the abyss of death. Their blood flowed like rivers as they wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Ralph felt a chill in his heart!
He suddenly realized that at this rate, even if he managed to kill Sanguinar, he wouldn't have many of his subordinates left alive. Ralph was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. After calmly thinking for a moment, Ralph suddenly shouted, "Mission failed! Everyone, retreat!"
Upon hearing those words, Ralph took the initiative to withdraw from Sanguis's side. He no longer wanted to be entangled with Sanguis.
Rockwood and the other two highgods immediately retreated from Bollands and Gilbert after hearing Ralph's order. Without uttering a word, they turned around and flew towards the nearby Tanai.
The Second Corps divine guards who received the order to retreat fled from the Blood River Hell with all their might. Their hearts were filled with fear. They never thought that they would be so weak against the same number of people. From beginning to end, they could not put up any resistance at all. They were killed one by one like babies.
The Han Family Guards calmly continued their pursuit after Ralph and his Second Corps divine guards. They wanted to seize the opportunity to inflict as much damage as possible on Ralph's Second Corps divine guards.
"Don't chase after them!" shouted Statholme. He hastily stopped the Guards from pursuing.
"Time is of the essence. We don't have time to waste with them. Come back!" shouted Phoebe. She too was very calm. She ordered her men to retreat.
Statholme and Phoebe knew that Hofs, Larikson, and the others would not give up so easily. They might already be on their way. Once Hofs, Larikson, and the others caught up with them, they would not be able to use the demonic formations of the Han Family.
Every second was critical and they had no time to waste on Ralph and his party. If Ralph and his party failed to take them down today, Ralph would not be able to escape death when they return to the City of Shadows to settle the score with Wallace.
In their minds, Ralph was no longer a threat to them. He would not be able to stir up any trouble in the future. They decided to spare his life for now as they would be able to take his life in the future.
After hearing Statholme and Phoebe's words, the Han Family guards hastily retreated and formed a defensive formation around Phoebe and Statholme.
"Sanguinar, Gilbert, how are you doing?" it was at this moment that Emily suddenly cried out.
The party stared blankly for a moment and immediately turned their attention to Sanguinar, Bollands, and Gilbert. The three were drenched in sweat after the battle. It was obvious that they had expended a great deal of energy.
Sanguinar, in particular, seemed to be supported by an indomitable spirit. When Ralph left, Sanguinar's body was flushed red and he was gasping for breath. He even staggered. It was only after Sanguinar relaxed that he realized that he had expended a great deal of energy in his desperate attacks.
"Sanguinar, are you alright?" Although Gilbert was also sweating profusely, his expression was relatively normal. He immediately asked with concern when he saw that Sanguinar was in such a state.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine in a moment!" Sanguinar forced a smile. The scarlet broadsword in his hand suddenly flew out and spun at high speed in midair.
Strands of bizarre energy were released from Sanguis' broadsword. All of a sudden, the blood of the Second Corps divine guards who died seemed to be attracted by some sort of energy. It turned into strands of blood mist and converged on Sanguis' broadsword. The blood mist slowly condensed into streams of blood that flowed on the broadsword like water.
The droplets of blood flew into the air and condensed on the broadsword. The pungent smell of blood in the area was nauseating.
Gradually, not a single drop of blood could be seen on the ground. It was at this moment that Sanguinar's broadsword flew back into Sanguinar's hand. Streaks of blood-red radiance passed through the broadsword and entered Sanguinar's body. Sanguinar's eyes, which were extremely weak a moment ago, started to shine brightly …
After a while, Sanguinar's previous dejection was swept away and he became spirited again.
Sanguinar let out a light sigh and smilingly said, "Alright, I'm fine now. Let's go, we can continue our journey! "
Statholme the old monster, Ayermike Cotton, Phoebe, and the Han family guards were all dumbstruck. They did not expect that Sanguinar, who was barely able to stand a moment ago, could use such a bizarre method to become spirited and regain his strength. It was simply unimaginable!
"What's there to be surprised about? Master's strength is not something you can comprehend. Sanguinar is master's disciple. It's normal for him to recover so quickly!" When Gilbert saw that the crowd was staring blankly, he impatiently urged, "Hurry up, hurry up! Do we have to wait for those guys to catch up?"
Upon hearing those words, the crowd came back to their senses. They hastily boarded the airship and continued their journey towards the Death Dominion.
