If eighty million taels of silver and eighty demon vessels could be taken down with a slight advantage in numbers, then something as important as Eunuch Yang's Warehouse would seem to be too petty and childish.
When they faced the attack from nearly two thousand elites from Towering Palace and Class One Hall, the marshal's army's actions proved their strength and determination to defend Eunuch Yang's Warehouse!
Whoosh!
The elite heavy-armored cavaliers guarding the two sides of the port changed their weapons at the same time!
Heavy and uniform whistles rose. The crossbows were pulled back, and the ancient bronze spear formation was set up. In an instant, they turned from a moving shooting fortress into a steel monster filled with savage murderous intent and a sharp edge.
The marshal's army's formation and strategy changed incredibly quickly!
The group of martial artists who were the first to rush to the front faced the spearheads.
They lifted them horizontally! They stabbed diagonally! They lifted them high!
The dense forest of spears caused the martial artists who rushed forward to suddenly feel awkward, as if they were caught in a difficult situation.
But when the people behind them urged them to move forward, they lost the possibility of stopping and avoiding the spears.
Thud!
Thud! Thud!
They braced themselves and activated their body fortifications while shouting in anger. In the end, they used their bodies to stain the spear tips red.
The movements of the marshal's elite heavy-armored cavaliers were very agile.
Usually, at least two of their spearheads would pierce through the enemies in front of them. They would then raise their spears high into the air as if they were shields that could repel the martial artists behind them. Then, they would throw their spears above their heads with all their might. Thud, thud, thud … The sounds of the spears falling into the water rose nonstop. Then, the spears would return to their original positions, and they would stab the next enemy as swiftly as lightning.
The longspears were less than six feet away from the enemies.
But this distance, which was so close to them, became the distance between life and death! It was a line of death that could not be crossed.
The dense forest of spears cycled through the situation, alternating with each other, and complementing each other. Their teamwork was great, and they did not give them any chance to take advantage of the situation.
Even if they occasionally revealed an opening, the steel monsters stood in front of them, and the martial artists who rushed forward could not do anything. They were like praying mantises trying to shake a chariot.
Thud! Thud!
Thud!
The elite heavy-armored cavaliers were like a fighting machine that could not be crossed. They stood outside the port and continuously sent the elites from the two sects into the river behind them.
"Allow me!"
Seeing that more than a hundred of his brothers in the palace had been killed in the blink of an eye, Grim Green clenched his teeth and rushed to the front with Haotian. One of them splashed out sword light that was as sharp as lightning; the other stood outside the attack range and instantly shot out four Six Meridians Divine Swords from his fingertips with a shocking momentum.
However …
The heavy armor on the body of the elite heavy-armored cavalrymen were all very bumpy and had pictures of ferocious beasts. It was different from the standard heavy armor of ordinary armies.
Moreover, the people who were carrying these hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor were obviously the elites of the marshal's army. They were military experts with astonishing aptitude and arm strength.
All kinds of attacks were thrown out, and Grim Green's expression changed slightly.
It was as if the long sword had struck an iron pillar, causing the web between his thumb and index finger to go numb!
His body turned sluggish, and a few streaks of blood appeared in the air from the spear forest. His body's defense collapsed on the spot, and he staggered back.
"Protect Palace Master Li!"
The group of Towering Palace elites protected Grim Green and retreated to the back.
Haotian's situation was slightly better.
Because it was a long-range attack, it did not receive any backlash damage. However, the Six Pulse Divine Sword's attack was unable to cause any obvious damage to these Heavy Armors.
It only left behind white gashes on the heavy armor, and the armored cavalrymen's bodies did not even shake.
"This is weird!"
Class One Hall's progress was not smooth either.
Even though Blood Robes fought at the front and used Star Sucking Great Skill to slightly affect an elite heavy-armored cavalier, he soon faced the entire squad's violent attacks and hatred, and he nearly died.
"They're not easy to deal with."
"Nearly two hundred of our brothers died. The strength of these heavy-armored cavaliers is too terrifying! Their defense is even stronger than that of Inaction Realm martial artists! When they gather their attacks together, they won't lose to Inaction Realm martial artists. "
"Yeah, I feel like I'm facing a group of Inaction Realm martial artists. I can't fight against them …"
When more people died, the elite heavy-armored cavaliers' formation remained the same, and they could not take even half a step forward, the two top-class sects gave the order to stop attacking.
The black mass of people retreated like a receding tide.
Only corpses were left on the ground! Two hundred longspears dyed red by blood! There was also the elite heavy-armored cavalier squad, which looked even more murderous and had an astonishing presence.
A group of people stared at the battlefield that had come to an end with solemn expressions. They scowled, and no one knew what they were thinking about.
"Looks like we can give up on the operation to attack Eunuch Yang's Warehouse."
A woman with a white veil over her face in the crowd moved her red lips slightly and spoke in a soft and alluring voice.
The group of people behind her fell silent.
Even if Towering Palace and Class One Hall attacked at the same time, they had to leave behind hundreds of corpses, and they could not do anything to them. Wind Assault Tower was just a first-rate sect, and if they went up against the elite heavy-armored cavalier squad, they would definitely be in an even more tragic state.
"That's too insane."
Wu Kuo smiled wanly and shook his head.
Right when he finished speaking, Phantasmal Shadow, who had been staring at the port in the distance, said in a slightly absent-minded manner.
"Perhaps this isn't even a group quest …"
The people around her had surprised expressions appear on their faces at the same time.
"No matter how strong a sect is, it's impossible for them to fight against an army!"
Phantasmal Shadow explained as if she had come to understand something.
"No matter what period of time it is, no matter what sect it is, when they are at their most glorious, they will never fight against an army, because the fighting strength and cohesiveness of an army will never be something a normal sect can hope to compare to. This is also why the imperial court has been able to suppress so many martial artists and ambitious martial artists!"
"But there have been quite a number of imperial courts that have been threatened and destroyed by martial artists, right?" Wu Kuo remembered that he had watched quite a number of similar dramas.
"That's because the imperial court itself is already rotten to the core. Besides, the martial artists have always played supporting roles."
"That's true."
"But based on what you said, tower master, it's impossible for us to complete this quest?"
"It's not impossible, but when we think about the difficulty of Sky Demon Secret Cave and compare it to Eunuch Yang's Warehouse, in truth, if we have so many people attacking Sky Demon Secret Cave together, we will definitely die. The problem is, we still haven't figured out the weakness and key of the elite heavy-armored cavaliers."
Phantasmal Shadow's eyes shone with a profound light. "There are plenty of traps in Sky Demon Secret Cave. If we take the slightest wrong step, we might all die.
"Key? What's the key? This group doesn't have any weaknesses. "
"Not necessarily."
Phantasmal Shadow cast a glance at the busy port and said faintly, "If we attack from the river, we will be limited by the terrain of the port. The combat strength of the elite heavy-armored cavaliers will be greatly limited, and the situation will be very different. It's a pity that the chests have already been placed on the ships. It's too late for us to change our strategy now!"
Before he finished speaking, a faint black silhouette dashed across the surface of the river, stepping on the waves and sprinting towards the marshal's transport ship.
