The Myriad Stars Formation had been tempered to become more and more terrifying after a fierce battle involving hundreds of thousands of people. When they got used to the operation of the formation, the power of the Myriad Stars Formation gradually increased.
Sixty thousand Annam Protectorate soldiers combined into one, unleashing the most terrifying killing power. The Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army was losing an astonishing number of soldiers every moment.
"Kill! — "
Battle cries shook the heavens and the earth. The battle had reached an extremely intense stage right from the beginning. Corpses of the people of Ouzan, Mengshe Zhao, Tang dynasty, and the corpses of war horses were strewn all over the mountains.
The blood was like a waterfall, washing down from the top of the mountain, forming a ghastly scene.
This was a battle of will against will!
At the foot of the mountain, at the rear of the army, rows of shining long sabers were pointed at the sky, ready to strike down at any time. Since the beginning of the war, this was the first time that Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan had formed an execution supervision team.
Anyone who got cold feet or ran away in the middle of a battle would be beheaded without exception.
The war of the southwest had begun as a simple sneak attack, but it had developed into a protracted war that had exhausted both sides. Even the ferocious and combative Ouzan people were eager to end the war and return to the Ouzan Highlands after experiencing the food shortage and the Mengshe Zhao rice consumption.
And Mengshe Zhao's people also understood that they had already broken off with the Tang dynasty, and there was no way back. If they couldn't win this war, what awaited them would be the punishment of the Tang dynasty, and the whole of Erhai would be scorched.
Everyone's parents, wives, and children would become sacrifices under the iron hooves.
Only by winning would there be room for negotiation.
Moreover, Mengshe Zhao, Ouzan, and the Tang dynasty had been enemies for a long time. So many people had died in this war, and the three parties had long been in a killing frenzy!
Clang clang clang!
Under the dark clouds, the sounds of swords, swords, shields, axes, halberds, and crossbows rang out on the mountain. Cold light flashed on the mountaintop. Every moment, there would be people falling, and every moment, there would be warhorses neighing as they fell to the ground.
In the fierce battlefield, even the Erhai elephants, which were wrapped in thick plate armour, were falling one after another under the frenzied attacks, let alone the others.
"Congratulations to user for killing 6780 Mengshe – Ü-Tsang soldiers!"
"Warning! One thousand three hundred and twenty-seven Tang dynasty soldiers died in battle! "
"Congratulations to user for killing 12,400 Mengshe – Ü-Tsang soldiers!"
"Warning! Two thousand one hundred soldiers of the Tang dynasty died in battle! The number of people is decreasing rapidly! "
"Congratulations to user for killing 25600 Mengshe – Ü-Tsang soldiers!"
"Warning! Three thousand five hundred soldiers of the Tang dynasty have died in battle. Their numbers have been further reduced! "
…
On the mountaintop, the winds were howling, causing the flags to rustle. As for the Stone of Destiny, the congratulatory and warning voices in Wang Chong's mind were interwoven together, rushing down like a waterfall.
But at this moment, Wang Chong had no mind to pay any attention to them.
The battle had already reached an extremely tense and intense state, and Wang Chong's entire body was tense to the extreme. A string of orders was constantly issued from his mouth, and a messenger was rushing in and out of the mountain, passing down order after order.
"Have General Li Nian and General Zhang Chao reinforce the front lines. Use sound waves to stop those Erhai elephants. No matter what, those elephants cannot be allowed to reach the summit!
"Have Chen Bo lead the saber and axe camp to deal with the Ouzan camp. Tell him to first cut off the legs of the horses, then the horses!
"Cavalry, hear my order! Prepare to move out at any moment!
"Pass on my order! Anyone who retreats will be executed!"
… …
With this final order, Wang Chong's eyes turned red. He was not a cold and cruel general who viewed the lives of his soldiers as nothing more than grass, but the fate of the Tang dynasty for the next hundred years, the millions of lives of the Central Plains, and the people of the southwest … all depended on this battle.
Wang Chong had no other choice.
There were times when one had to learn to choose!
"Hold!"
The eyes of all the Tang dynasty generals on the mountain were red, all of them using all the strength they had in their lives to madly shout. In this final battle, everyone's lives depended on it, and all of them could sense the intense aura of death.
This aura was so thick that it made one's scalp go numb and their entire body tremble.
But no matter how they fought, the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army at the base of the mountain was like an endless tide.
"Charge! … "
"The Tang people are already an arrow at the end of its flight. If they charge to the summit, only death awaits them!"
"His Majesty has decreed that the first to reach the summit will be made a marquis of ten thousand households!"
"The Prime Minister has decreed that whoever breaks through the Tang people's defenses and is the first to reach the summit will be made 'Great Warrior Saturu', personally conferred by the Tsenpo!"
… …
In the vast black flood of steel, Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan Empire generals stood on the mountain, constantly roaring and shouting as they supervised the battle. An Ouzan horseman's warhorse stumbled over a stone and was forced back several steps before being cut in half by a saber.
This sort of frenzied aura permeated the entire mountain.
Everyone felt like swords and sabers were pressed against their bodies, urging and forcing them to rush up the mountain crazily.

Bwoooom! … …
Another yak horn sounded out from the base of the mountain. This horn had a metallic clanging to it, completely different from the previous ones. Rumble! The earth sank as a storm of energy soared into the sky.
At the base of the mountain, a highland steed that was taller than a human stood proudly. On the back of the steed, a burly figure stood as straight as a spear. The cape behind him fluttered in the wind, emitting a wild and domineering aura.
Although he did nothing, the figure was like the sun in the sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Huoshu Huizang has made his move!"
In a place where no one was paying attention to, two figures hidden in the shadows of the army were also silently looking at Huoshu Huizang.
"Mm."
On the other side, Duan Gequan nodded.
"This should be Dalun Ruozan's plan. All his strategies have been completely destroyed by that kid. There's no other plan left. "
"Gequan, Huoshu Huizang is too domineering and flamboyant. Once he makes his move, he will definitely attract the attention of the entire Tang dynasty. This is our best chance! "
Another voice said.
"No! It's not time yet! "
Duan Gequan shook his head and rejected the idea without hesitation. In the darkness, his eyes were extremely gloomy.
"Wait a little longer! In a little while, it will be time for us to completely defeat the Tang people. Your Majesty, don't worry! Your great ambition will definitely come true. I will also do my best to help you succeed! "
Duan Gequan's voice revealed a strong will!
The ruler and his subject knew each other, and the ruler and his subject would marry each other!
Today's Mengshe Zhao Empire was built step by step by him and Gelofeng. This was not only Gelofeng's, but also his dream. Back then, by the banks of Erhai, he had promised that he would definitely help him grow this small country that had been bullied by the banks of Erhai into a powerful overlord on the continent!
No matter what, he would never let this empire fall here, let alone allow his dream to collapse here!
"Fifteen minutes! In at most fifteen minutes, I will let Your Majesty see the scene of the Annam Protectorate completely ending here! "
Duan Gequan looked into the distance, his eyes shining brightly.
This was a promise made by a great general to a king!
As soon as he finished speaking, everything returned to silence.
…
"Kaboom!"
The earth shook and the mountains shook. Huoshu Huizang had finally joined the battle.
"Hum!"
A beam of golden light bloomed on the mountain like the sun. Along with this golden light, a huge Vairocana Buddha appeared, majestic and domineering, standing tall in the mountain range. Endless chanting of Buddhist chants came from the void.
"Hum! Ma! Ni! Ba! Mi! Hum! "
The endless light made the Vairocana Buddha that Huoshu Huizang had transformed into look incomparably tall. Just looking at it from afar, it was enough to make people tremble and feel a deep sense of reverence.
"Roar!"
However, the mountain shook. Huoshu Huizang could not advance at all. An even bigger god in golden armor roared like an ancient sleeping god. It raised one palm and stood up from the mountain, fighting fiercely with Huoshu Huizang.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The shockwaves from their battle stirred up a huge gale on the mountain. Even the rocks were blown into the air.
A battle of this level had already surpassed the imagination of ordinary people. Everyone was retreating.
"Duan Gequan still hasn't made his move?"
While Wang Yan was fighting with Huoshu Huizang with the Mighty Miracle God Formation, on the other side, Xianyu Zhongtong was dressed in martial attire. He was as calm as ice, staring at the bottom of the mountain.
The place where Wang Yan and Huoshu Huizang were fighting wasn't too far away from him, but Xianyu Zhongtong didn't move, showing no intention of interfering. To Xianyu Zhongtong, he only had one opponent from the start of this war — Erhai General Duan Gequan, Mengshe Zhao's Erhai General!
The grudge between Xianyu Zhongtong and this Erhai General didn't just start today. Back when Zhangchou Jianqiong was still overseeing the southwest, Xianyu Zhongtong already had a grudge with him.
But no grudge could compare to that crushing defeat on the Erhai plains.
This was destined to be a pain that would haunt Xianyu Zhongtong for the rest of his life.
"Reporting to General, not yet! So far, only Huoshu Huizang has made a move! "
A voice came from the side. Those who could follow Xianyu Zhongtong were the elites of the Annam Protectorate. Their hatred for Duan Gequan was no less than Xianyu Zhongtong's.
"Duan Gequan has been hiding behind Gelofeng all this time. He hasn't made a move yet."
At Xianyu Zhongtong's side were the armored generals of the Annan Protectorate army, all of them clustered around him like stars surrounding the moon. With just a breath's worth of movement, they would be able to activate the Vajra Deity Formation and ambush Duan Gequan with the strength of the entire army.
But before that, no one was allowed to participate in any battle.
"This doesn't make sense!"
Under the fluttering black war flag of the Annam Protectorate, Xianyu Zhongtong looked at the powerful figure standing behind Gelofeng on the carriage in the distance. His brows slowly furrowed.
"This is the final day of the war. The fate of the three countries will be decided here. Duan Gequan has already been silent for quite a few days. There's no reason for him to remain hidden on the final day of the war! "
Of the three Great Generals of the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang side, Gelofeng, Huoshu Huizang, and Duan Gequan, only Huoshu Huizang had taken action. Because Gelofeng was the ruler of Mengshe Zhao, she did not rashly enter the battlefield.
From the start of the war until now, Duan Gequan had remained hidden behind the curtains, not taking action even once. If this had happened before, it would have been fine, but for him to do so now was definitely not normal.
