Ye Tianze quickly made arrangements for the battle. He would lead the Tiger Guards to attack while Zhuge Qi and the others would be the backup.
"Our goal is to wipe them out. So, you guys stay behind and attack at the end. When we're almost done, we'll defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Ye Tianze said.
"I want to go with you," Gao Cainyun pleaded.
"Follow my orders!"
After replying, Ye Tianze left the city with his master, Ming Ming, and the three hundred Tiger Guards.
There were less than a thousand people in the entire Stone City stronghold. Most of them were Array Masters and Weapon Refiners who couldn't participate in the battle.
Including the young disciples of the Alchemy School and the Weapon Refining Sect, there were less than two hundred geniuses who could fight.
Ye Tianze took the three hundred Tiger Guards with him. They were the most powerful fighters in the Stone City stronghold. They were all at the peak of the Immortal Realm and had been on the battlefield for a long time. They were the elites of the White Tiger Corps.
After Ye Tianze left, Zhuge Qi and Zhou Chong took over. They came from the Divine General's Mansion. Although they didn't have much experience on the battlefield, they had learned a lot about the art of war. They also knew that the battlefield was different from the arena in Imperial Dragon City.
If the geniuses couldn't be united, they would be scattered. So, Zhuge Qi first organized the two hundred geniuses into two large groups and twenty small groups.
Each small group had ten people and a leader to make it easier to command.
"Remember, our mission is to cut off the enemy's retreat. No matter how the battle between the Tiger Guards and the alien races turns out, anyone who dares to act without my orders will be punished according to military law!"
Zhuge Qi became the backbone of these people. "This is a battlefield, not a sect in Imperial Dragon City. If you want to live, you have to obey orders!"
Geniuses were naturally arrogant and unruly. However, after experiencing the tense moment just now, their spirit had been greatly reduced.
They knew that the battlefield was dangerous and it was difficult to exert their full strength with just one person's strength.
The battle between the four races ended quickly. Hou He fought until the last moment and had no intention of escaping. This caused great losses to the three races led by the Shen Clan.
Originally, when they came to attack the stronghold, each clan had sent out five hundred elites. Now, the Celestials had lost nearly half of their forces, and most of them were injured.
The Demon Clan and the Asura Clan who had arrived later suffered fewer losses, but they were still half dead. As for the five hundred elites of the Sorcerer Tribe, other than a few who had been killed by Ye Tianze, they were all killed by the allied forces of the three tribes.
However, Xu Wuyi did not feel the joy of victory because they had lost more than half of their forces before they had achieved their strategic objective.
"If we can't take down Stone City, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our lives when we return. If we can take down Stone City and wait for reinforcements, we still have a chance to live."
Xu Wuyi glanced at the experts and said, "Let's rest for a while and recover our spiritual energy. Then, we'll attack the Stone City stronghold immediately!"
The leaders of the Yao and Shura clans glanced at each other. They didn't understand why the Divine Race would attack the Wu people when they hadn't taken over the stronghold yet.
But at this point, they had no other choice. Up until now, they had already suffered a great loss, but it wasn't a complete loss.
Only by taking over Stone City and defending it until reinforcements arrived could they salvage the situation. After all, the higher-ups of the three races definitely wanted to nail a nail into the human's territory. And this nail wasn't from the Wu people.
They had already sent out a signal for reinforcements when they attacked the Wu people.
"That's …"
At this moment, an Earth Realm expert of the Divine Race looked into the distance and said, "The humans … they're attacking!"
There were less than seven hundred remaining experts of the three races. Most of them were already injured. When they saw the Tiger Guards galloping towards them, their faces were filled with shock.
After fighting with the humans for so long, they knew that the humans were the worst at fighting in the open. The humans were best at using strong fortifications in their strongholds to fight a defensive battle.
Therefore, without a stronghold to defend, the White Tiger Corps was like a tiger without its fangs. They weren't afraid at all.
But if it was the White Tiger Corps in the stronghold, they were indeed a little afraid. In terms of defense, the humans were second best among the five races.
"The humans are attacking outside the city?"
The Goblin leader looked at this scene in disbelief. "They're crazy!"
"Hehe, this is good too. We don't have to waste time."
The Shura leader licked his lips. His eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light.
"They dare to attack us with only three hundred people. They must have eaten a bear's heart or a leopard's guts!"
Xu Wuyi said, "It seems that this human general wants to catch us off guard while we're exhausted. Good idea, but … too stupid."
Then, Xu Wuyi gave an order. The three races that hadn't recovered in time immediately readied themselves. "We'll let these humans have a taste of our power!"
Looking at the allied forces of the three tribes charging towards them, Master Ming's expression did not look good. Even though they had fought a bloody battle with the Sorcerer Tribe, the allied forces of the three tribes were not inferior to them in terms of numbers or combat power.
"As expected of the elites of the three races. Looks like this will be a tough battle!" Lord Ming said.
"When enemies meet on a narrow path, the courageous will win!"
Ye Tianze said. "Although we have fewer people, … we're just waiting for them to tire us out."
Lord Ming originally thought that Ye Tianze would hide in the back. He even thought of letting Ye Tianze follow the group of geniuses and make the final attack.
But he realized that not only did Ye Tianze not have the fear of entering the battlefield for the first time, but his eyes were even filled with an incomprehensible excitement.
Lord Ming, who was leading the charge, realized that he was a beat slower than Ye Tianze. He should have been the arrowhead of the Tiger Guard.
But now, Ye Tianze had become the arrowhead of the Tiger Guard.
The distance between the three races and the Tiger Guard was less than a few hundred feet. As the two sides charged, the distance was constantly closing.
It was like two arrows that were about to collide. Lord Ming rarely went out of the city to fight with the other races, but he knew the importance of the arrowhead.
The first round of competition between the two sides was a contest of arrowheads. If the arrowhead couldn't hold on, then the power supporting the entire arrow would collapse.
Letting Ye Tianze be the arrowhead made him a little uncertain. On the battlefield, the recruits either feared the enemy and didn't move forward, or they underestimated the enemy.
Fearing the enemy and not moving forward wasn't difficult to change. As long as they were led by a veteran and fought a few battles, those who survived would understand the rules of the battlefield.
But underestimating the enemy was a big taboo, especially in important battles. Underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly was tantamount to suicide. Not only would they lose their own life, but they might also lose the lives of their companions.
Lord Ming really wanted to take back the arrowhead mission, but he realized that he wasn't as fast as Ye Tianze. Moreover, although Ye Tianze was fast, he maintained the position of the arrowhead and didn't pull away from the Tiger Guard behind him.
He didn't turn his head, but Lord Ming couldn't see the slightest trace of fear on his face. This made Lord Ming feel a little conflicted.
Ye Tianze's actions were very similar to a veteran on the battlefield, but his face looked so young and inexperienced. It was as if he hadn't experienced any battles and was relying on his hot-bloodedness to support himself. Naturally, he didn't know what fear was.
The charge was silent. Only the sound of the footsteps of both sides and the piercing sound of the wind rustling their clothes could be heard. Lord Ming knew that at this moment, he could only choose to believe in Ye Tianze.
Please don't be defeated in one strike! Lord Ming thought to himself.
He was even prepared to immediately fill in the gap if Ye Tianze was defeated in one strike. He knew that Ye Tianze was a talent. How could someone who could survive a checkmate not be a talent?
Lord Ming thought that even if all three hundred Tiger Guards died in battle, he had to ensure Ye Tianze's safety. If Ye Tianze could learn a lesson from his defeat, he would definitely become a commander of the White Tiger Legion in the future.
The formation of the allied army had been very stable. With the Protoss as the core, the Yao and Asura Clans as support. At a glance, Lord Ming knew that the enemy's commander was also a powerful figure.
If the Protoss weren't the core, the Yao and Asura Clans would be like a sheet of loose sand. However, with the Protoss leading the charge, the Yao and Asura Clans wouldn't be divided.
This was going to be a tough battle!
One hundred feet … ninety feet … eighty feet …
Finally, the two arrowheads met. Lord Ming sensed his opponent's aura and his expression changed drastically. This was actually an Earth Realm expert, and he was only at the peak of the Immortal Realm.
As the arrowhead, Ye Tianze was only at the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm.
"It's over …" Lord Ming's heart was on the verge of collapse.
The Protoss' saber and Ye Tianze's saber collided with a deafening clang. Lord Ming was just about to fill in for Ye Tianze when something unexpected happened.
Ye Tianze hadn't been defeated. In fact, he didn't even feel the panic of underestimating his opponent and charging in recklessly when he sensed the massive difference in strength between them.
Metal clashed and sparks flew. Ye Tianze and the Protoss Earth Realm expert were locked in battle. Both sides seemed to want to take the initiative in the first round of attacks and defeat the other's arrowhead.
But the Protoss had the upper hand. Lord Ming knew that as the arrowhead, Ye Tianze had already done a very good job. Even he couldn't do better than Ye Tianze.
Just as he was about to go up and help, Ye Tianze's body suddenly began to grow. His bronze skin was revealed and his muscles were knotted together. He was eighty feet tall and a blood aura surged around his body. A pair of black and white wings spread out behind him. The wings were full and his eyes burned with raging flames.
"Celestial Battle Body!"
Void Yi's expression changed. "You're Ye Tianze!"
"That's me!"
Ye Tianze's body erupted with a heaven-shaking will. The five elements gathered together and finally activated the power of wind and thunder.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Lightning overflowed and storms intertwined. Void Yi clearly didn't expect Ye Tianze to erupt with such a powerful strength and was caught off guard.
On the battlefield, victory and defeat were often decided in this instant. Ye Tianze's power burst forth, and his saber fell, directly shaking the void and sending it flying.
Seeing Ye Tianze tear open a hole, Lord Ming knew that his chance had come. While his opponent was distracted, he brought the Tiger Guards and charged in.
Originally, it was a clash of two arrows. But after victory was decided, the victor was like an arrow that pierced into the enemy's heart.
The Protoss weren't defeated, but they were thrown into chaos. The calm of the battlefield was broken once more. Shouts and sounds of metal clashing mixed together.
