Three thousand against fifty thousand.
The Divine Martial Guards were destined to create a new record.
The fifty thousand troops stationed in Iligan City were all from the Luzon territory, and they were Lord Martin's trusted troops. Their combat strength was undeniable.
After receiving the lord's order, apart from the ten thousand troops stationed at the top of the city, the remaining forty thousand quickly gathered at the city lord's mansion and ran into the Divine Martial Guards.
Both sides engaged in a fierce battle on the street leading to the city lord's mansion.
In the beginning, the Divine Martial Guard's advance was rather smooth. After all, the street was only so wide, and there wasn't a single troop that could stop the Divine Martial Guard's advance.
The Divine Martial Guard basically used the speed of a charge to push their way through.
When they crossed the street and arrived at the square in front of the city lord's mansion, the test of the Divine Martial Guard had just begun. Ten thousand elites were waiting on the square, while the rest of the troops guarded the city lord's mansion tightly.
Martin stood on the steps of the gate under the heavy protection of his personal guards. He looked down at the Divine Martial Guard and said, "How dare you trespass here! Prepare to die!"
Xu Chu spat inwardly when he saw this, then raised his Divine Crossbow and shot an arrow.
With a whoosh, the arrow flew through the air, leaving an afterimage in the air. Judging from its trajectory, it was going to hit Martin's face. But at that critical moment, a shield appeared in front of Martin and blocked the arrow.
Even so, Martin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and staggered two steps back.
"Haha!!!"
The Divine Martial Guard laughed unscrupulously when they saw Martin in such a sorry state. Martin's face turned red, and he didn't have the face to stay any longer. He said, "Kill them all!" and hurriedly returned to the city lord's mansion.
When Xu Chu saw this, he withdrew his gaze and grinned. "Boys, the warm up is over. It's time to start the slaughter. Kill!" Xu Chu wasn't just teasing Martin for fun, he was also using it to strike at the enemy's morale.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
The three thousand Divine Guards formed a huge circular formation. The outer circle was made up of shield-bearers who specialized in defense. The middle circle of Divine Guards wielded spears and attacked through the gaps between the shields. The inner circle of Divine Guards wielded Divine Crossbows and were responsible for long-range cover, especially against archers hiding on the roofs.
The entire circular formation was like a perfect killing machine. While blocking attacks from all directions, it moved closer to the gate. Anyone who tried to stop it was killed one by one.
This formation was specially designed by Sun Bin for the Shenwu Guards. It was called the Three Thousand Revolutions Formation.
The terror of this formation lay not only in its ability to attack and defend, but also in the fact that the inner and outer circles could be switched at any time. It had the ability to last for a long time, and in the hands of the Divine Martial Guards, it was even more effective.
In front of the Three Thousand Revolutions Great Formation, the Lu Song army had the advantage in numbers, but against such a 'lump of iron', they were helpless. They could only send out suicide squads to charge forward, but the results were minimal.
The power of the formation was undoubtedly revealed in this battle.
In less than an hour, the Divine Martial Guard had broken through the barriers of the square and reached the gate. At this time, the gate was tightly shut, and the walls on both sides of the City Lord's Mansion were filled with archers.
How to break through the gate was another test for the Divine Martial Guards.
"Disperse!"
With Xu Chu's order, the giant circular formation suddenly split into three, turning from one big circle to three small circles, forming a triangular formation that kept moving forward.
The circular formation in the middle was responsible for attacking the gate, while the two circular formations on both sides were like wings, blocking attacks from the walls and the square, creating opportunities for their comrades.
Iligan was only an ordinary county city, and the City Lord's Mansion didn't have any defensive capabilities. Under the fierce attacks of the Divine Martial Guards, the gate was on the verge of collapse.
The Lu Song soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion were trembling in fear, and they held the gate with their lives.
Using the gate as a medium, the two sides began to fight.
Under the impact from both sides, the wooden door let out creaking sounds. It was already unable to withstand the heavy load.
Seeing this, Xu Chu came to the front of the gate, stood firmly, and circulated all the Ethereal Force in his body. He took the lance of a Divine Martial Guard and stabbed it at the gate. The tip of the lance actually emitted rays of white light.
Boom!
The lance fiercely pierced through the door, leaving a big hole. That wasn't all. With the hole as the center, the gate cracked like a spider web and turned into pieces.
The power of one spear was so great!
Xu Chu's title as a fierce general was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Seeing the gate open, the Divine Martial Guards' morale soared, and they roared as they charged into the City Lord's Mansion. The Lu Song army was extremely shocked. By the time they reacted, the enemy had already reached the courtyard.
"Quick, stop them!"
The Lu Song Lord Martin appeared again, unable to hide his anxiety.
Although it was night time, the entire City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit. Everywhere in the mansion that could stand was filled with Lu Song soldiers.
The Divine Martial Guard charged into such a sea of people. Every step forward was incomparably difficult.
Because of the narrow terrain, the Divine Martial Guards couldn't move freely. At the same time, they had to face sneak attacks from all directions, be it from the eaves, windows, or roofs.
In this narrow terrain, even heavenly soldiers and generals had to be restrained.
Seeing this, Xu Chu didn't hesitate anymore. He took out a talisman and quickly tore it. A golden light flashed, and it quickly formed a ball, protecting the Divine Martial Guards within it.
[Golden Armor Talisman] (Purple Gold): After use, it can form a protective golden light around the body, immune to all physical attacks. Lasts for half an hour, effective range of five thousand people.
This talisman was a treasure of the Xiang Clan that Xiang Yan had given to Xu Chu as a reward by Ouyang Shuo.
At the crucial moment, the [Golden Armor Talisman] showed its power.
With the protection of the golden light, the Divine Martial Guards were like heavenly soldiers and generals. Any swords, spears, sticks, or arrows would be blocked by the golden light before they could even get close.
The Lu Song soldiers were dumbfounded seeing this.
The enemy was in a daze, but Xu Chu wasn't. The [Golden Armor Talisman] only lasted for half an hour. He had to destroy the stone tablet before the effect of the talisman disappeared.
"Kill!"
Under the protection of the golden light, the Divine Martial Guards killed a bloody path through the enemy's formation.
The Lu Song army weren't idiots. They knew that the enemy's goal was to kill their way into the conference hall, so they all squeezed into the hall and surrounded the raised stone tablet.
If the Divine Martial Guards wanted to get close to the stone tablet, they could only kill their way through.
At the crucial moment, the Divine Martial Guards wouldn't be lenient. They all turned into Asuras, and taking advantage of their "invincible" state, they were unstoppable.
Facing such an efficient and invincible slaughter, no matter how elite the Lu Song army was, they couldn't help but be terrified. Some people had already quietly retreated, unwilling to face this group of killing gods.
Just ten minutes later, Xu Chu was the first to reach the stone tablet.
This fierce general grinned, raised his hand, and chopped down at the stone tablet.
