Soldiers Approaching the City
Soaring Goose City was located in the middle of a mountain range. It spanned tens of miles and had over five hundred thousand citizens. It was a small border city, and because it was backed by the Soaring Goose Pass, it got its name.
Since ancient times, Soaring Goose City had been a military city. The city walls were a hundred meters tall and were completely made of hard black gold. Inside the city, there were countless defensive structures and the people were valiant. It could be said that everyone was a soldier.
At this moment, a pitch-black and dense cloud floated over, enveloping the entire Soaring Swallow City within. Although it was midsummer, the air carried a bit of a chill. A gust of wind swept past, sweeping up rolling yellow sand. When it blew on people's bodies, it actually gave them a kind of chilling feeling.
In the air, three figures stood.
One of them was an old man wearing coarse hemp clothes with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles. The other was wearing a sinister purple-black heavy armor, carrying a halberd on his back, and a blood-red cloak wrapped around his body, making fluttering sounds.
As for the last person, he was dressed in a green robe with a crown on his head. He waved a feather fan in his hand, and with every stroke, he seemed to be able to stir up the wind and clouds. Even the speed of the circulation of the spiritual energy in the world changed. It was extremely strange.
These three people were Lin Tianchong, Wu Jing Xue, and Mowang Gong.
Below the three of them was a pitch-black and towering city wall that was a hundred meters tall. Below the city wall was a black mass of soldiers guarding the city. There were a hundred people in groups and a thousand in rows. There were a total of a hundred thousand people standing neatly on the ground.
These hundred thousand plus people did not make even the slightest sound, causing the air to emit a suffocating heavy aura. All of them focused their eyes and stared straight ahead. Their solemn faces faintly flashed with a monstrous ferocity.
In front of Soaring Swallow City, there was a vast and boundless wasteland. Wild gales blew past and yellow sand filled the air. At the end of their field of vision, there was a huge pitch-black shadow that was pressuring over. Layer after layer, its steps were like waves, causing the earth to tremble at that moment.
Looking carefully, the pitch-black shadow was actually an army. Each army had a hundred thousand people, and there were a total of thirty-six armies. They stood in the four directions of north, south, east, and west. They stepped on the yellow sand with an unparalleled momentum, as if they were moving fortresses. Even if one looked directly at them from afar, it was difficult to breathe.
Patter patter patter …
The three million six hundred thousand elite soldiers marched forward with thunderous footsteps. They were extremely fast, and every single one of them was covered in blood. The smell of blood was mixed in with the fierce wind. Before they even reached Soaring Swallow City, the hearts of the one hundred thousand soldiers guarding the city began to thump violently.
"I'm afraid the situation isn't good."
Wu Jing Xue said in a low voice, causing Lin Tianchong and Mowang Gong's gazes to freeze. In their field of vision, Wu Jing Xue's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his expression was extremely ugly.
He stared at the 3,600,000 elite soldiers and said solemnly, "The Daluo Golden Gate and the Divine Wind Palace launched an attack in the night and pushed a hundred miles in one night. Now, they still haven't shown any signs of weakness and are still approaching. It seems that they want to take down Flying Goose City directly."
"The enemy has a total of 3,600,000 well-equipped soldiers, while we only have a hundred thousand. Although we have the city walls, if we allow them to charge, we probably won't be able to hold them off for even fifteen minutes!" Wu Jing Xue had been in the army for several decades, and he had spent his entire life on the battlefield. He quickly determined the difference in strength between the two sides.
The 3,600,000 elite soldiers were just too large, and they were all at the Earth Spirit realm. Once they launched their charge, it could be said to be devastating. A mere Soaring Swallow City could not stop them at all and would be easily broken through.
"According to the military books, an army's morale is boosted by the first drum, weakened by the second, and exhausted by the third. If we want to stop the enemy's attack, we have to wear down their current morale. Only then will we have a chance of stopping them." Mowang Gong's expression was also solemn, and his tone was unprecedentedly deep. At this moment, the enemy was only thirty miles away from Soaring Swallow City. If they did not stop them now, they would not be able to stop them at all.
"Since that's the case, the two of you continue to stay here and preside over the situation. I'll go now." Lin Tianchong stepped out at this moment. He did not wait for Wu Jing Xue and Mowang Gong to speak. He let out a bright laugh, and a powerful Spiritual Energy surged out from his body as he rushed forward.
Rumble!
As Lin Tianchong flew, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. Bolts of purplish-blue lightning seeped out from the thick, pitch-black clouds. The lightning landed around Lin Tianchong's body, turning him into the silhouette of a thunder hawk that spread its wings and soared through the air. In just a moment, he stood above the three million and six hundred thousand elite soldiers.
"A mere member of the Earthly Spirit Clan dares to offend my Wanjian Pavilion? Leave this instant!" Lin Tianchong's words were like needles, and as soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if the entire heavens and the earth felt the flames of rage that were emitted from Lin Tianchong's body. The dark clouds roiled, lightning roared, and numerous bolts of lightning that were thick like water tanks flashed without end, as if it had drawn the fury of the God of Lightning.
"Myriad Lightning Obliterate the World!" Lin Tianchong let out a long howl. Suddenly, the sky shook and trembled as numerous bolts of lightning stretched out from the dark clouds. They were like snakes, yet also like hawks, and they tore apart the sky inch by inch as they shot directly towards the 3,600,000 elite soldiers.
The dazzling lightning was like a myriad of rivers of light that hung down from the sky, dispersing the darkness that was enveloped by the dark clouds. What entered one's eyes was only surging lightning and boundless killing intent.
As a 6th tribulation Nirvana Realm expert, every single move of Lin Tianchong could affect the heavens and the earth. As these myriad of bolts of lightning descended, the 3,600,000 elite soldiers below stopped in their tracks, and all of them gasped as they were deeply shocked by this scene.
But right at this moment, a deafening military order suddenly roared out explosively from within the enormous army. "Raise your shields!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
At practically the exact same instant, the astonishment in the eyes of the 3,600,000 elite soldiers dispersed, and with a flip of their hands, they raised up their thick and heavy shields in succession. The layers of shields connected together seemed to have transformed into an enormous shield wall, and a wisp of heavy earthen yellow brilliance soared up, and it actually fearlessly welcomed the myriad of bolts of lightning that could destroy the world.
Rumbling sounds resounded out as the bolts of lightning collided with the shield wall, causing terrifying spiritual light to spread out in all directions like ripples of water. However, the bolts of lightning that possessed boundless ferocious might were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. Numerous bolts of lightning exploded, and although they were able to tear open a crack on the shield wall, they were ultimately unable to tear it apart with a bang.
When the last wisp of lightning dissipated into nothingness, the enormous shield wall within one's field of vision seemed to be slightly damaged, and all the elite soldiers below the crack had perished, whereas, the people around the crack had suffered heavy injuries and were covered in blood.
But even then, the lethality caused by these bolts of lightning wasn't strong, and only a little over 100 people died and a little over 1,000 were injured. Moreover, this number was simply negligible to the 3,600,000 soldiers, and it was utterly unable to obstruct the overbearing attacks of the enemy.
When he saw this scene, Lin Tianchong frowned tightly, and just when he wanted to continue attacking, the deafening military order resounded once more from below. "Swing your blades!"
In an instant, the 3,600,000 elite soldiers all withdrew their shields, and with a flip of their palms, blade light streaked out like a waterfall, madly rushing straight toward the vault of heaven.
A single blade light wasn't very eye-catching, but when 3,600,000 of them were unleashed at the same time, the momentum and momentum were actually far greater than Lin Tianchong's thunderous momentum. Wherever it passed, even the heavens and the earth were torn apart by long cracks.
"Damn it!" Lin Tianchong gritted his teeth in hatred. His figure transformed into a thunderbolt, narrowly avoiding the threat of the shocking saber aura. He swept his gaze around and saw more saber auras sweeping over. One after another, they covered the mountains and plains as if there was no end to them.
"The Divine Wind Palace and the Daluo Golden Sect have indeed come prepared. They raised their shields to meet the enemy, and their spiritual energy turned into a wall, easily neutralizing my attacks. At the same time, they can swing their blades and release thousands of blade light. Such a switch between offense and defense can be said to be perfect. I'm afraid that even the Martial Emperor wouldn't be able to annihilate this ferocious army."
Lin Tianchong turned into an illusory shadow of a Thunder Eagle, constantly dodging the enemy's attacks in the void. As he dodged, he constantly unleashed destructive thunderbolts, but he still couldn't wear down the enemy's spirit.
"At this moment, the two sides are only ten miles apart. If the attacks don't work, the situation will be very dangerous!" Lin Tianchong stared down, his expression becoming more and more anxious.
