"Fire!"
Soldiers gripped the catapult ropes tightly. When the ropes, forged from the dragon sinews of the sub-dragon race, were taut, Xie Lüyuang shouted, giving the order to launch!
Boom!
Ten soldiers operated one trebuchet. The divine power surging into the light cluster bombs ignited the outermost three layers of the formation at this very moment!
The divine power drawn from the soldiers' bodies merged into the light cluster bombs at a visible speed. Just the first light cluster bomb consumed one-tenth of a Divine Fire realm soldier's divine power!
Suddenly, from the million-strong army, three hundred thousand divine lights blazed. One side was brown, obscuring the sky, the other golden, vibrating. Three hundred thousand light cluster bombs were instantly launched!
Rumble!
In the sky, the thick clouds were directly dispersed, leaving the void for ten thousand miles clear and transparent!
A hurricane swept forward three hundred li from the formation of the two Great Han legions. Yet, this mighty hurricane could not drive away the miasma that enshrouded the swampy land.
In the void, the thirty thousand activated light cluster bombs rumbled towards the Demon Sea Swamp defense fortress not far away!
"Great Han Divine Dynasty!!"
"You!!"
"Quick!"
"Hold the city defense formation!!"
"Block them for me!!"
On the city wall, the Third Elder, Jia Li, who had been watching the Han army's movements, saw the ten-thousand-li white clouds in the sky instantly clear. The rumbling roar made his face change drastically, a trace of disbelief in his eyes. But thirty thousand dense, brilliant light clusters had already appeared within his sight!
Although the Demon Sea Swamp was not among the top forces in the Western Frontier, it was still a powerful overlord among the second-tier forces. Coupled with the unique geographical environment of the Demon Sea Swamp and the distinctiveness of the Ancestral Crocodile tribe, it had stood on this land for hundreds of millions of years.
The Great Han Divine Dynasty, a newly risen, insignificant second-tier force, dared to raise a million troops and attack the Demon Sea Swamp with real arms after killing Jia Bin!
At this moment, looking at the dense, immeasurable brilliant light clusters in the sky, he was immensely shocked. Did the Great Han Divine Dynasty truly dare to tear its face apart with the Demon Sea Swamp? Did their Great Han Divine Emperor, Yang Hao, truly dare to march his troops out of his borders and declare war on the four great powers?
"Roar!!"
At this moment, the void not only echoed with rumbling but also with earth-shattering roars of myriad beasts. Within the brown, brilliant light clusters in the sky, a Qiongqi spread its wings; within the golden light clusters, a golden lion, radiating golden light and looking down on all directions, pulsed with wisps of smoke.
At this moment, the three cave masters behind Jia Li gripped the inside of the city wall fiercely, their faces pale with shock as they gazed at the terrifying brilliant light.
Boom!
Inside the city, countless Ancestral Crocodile soldiers released their divine power, continuously bolstering the city defense formation. Even the Ancestral Crocodile soldiers hidden in the swamps outside the city were rapidly heading towards the city.
The blue formation grew brighter, bringing a sliver of security to the Ancestral Crocodile soldiers within the city.
Unfortunately, even with the support of a million Ancestral Crocodiles within the city and the joint reinforcement of three Saint Lord realm cave masters, the city defense formation was still vulnerable.
The moment the thirty thousand light clusters touched the city defense formation, the massive impact directly unleashed fifteen small bombing formations. The divine beast energy sealed within erupted completely, and divine light traversed the sky!
Boom boom!
Myriad beasts roared, ten-thousand-zhang fire clouds splashed up, and the entire city defense formation collapsed at this moment. Countless pavilions and city walls were pulverized under this terrifying bombardment!
"Fire!"
After the first round of bombardment, Xie Lüyuang directly gave the order for the second army bombardment. Thirty thousand light cluster bombs took flight again!
Boom boom boom!!!
In the first round of bombardment, the Demon Sea Swamp's defense fortress, with the reinforcement of a million troops, had the city defense formation serve a slight purpose. But in this second round of bombardment, all the energy fell entirely within the city.
The moment the thirty thousand light cluster bombs fell into the city and touched the ground, fifteen formations were activated and erupted directly. The surging divine beast energy merged, delivering a devastating blow to the already weak city!
Even excavating ten zhang deep!!
The dense miasma, swept by the terrifying energy, let out crackling sounds, and at the edges, it even emitted green vaporous gas.
Light clusters fell into the swamp, kicking up dozens of zhang of mud.
The entire Demon Sea Swamp defense fortress, for dozens of li, was within the range of the trebuchets!
The heavens and earth changed color!
Even the climate in dozens of li was disrupted at this moment due to the intense heat generated by the explosion of terrifying energy.
Under the bombardment of these six hundred thousand light cluster bombs, sealed with the killing power of divine beasts, the city of the defense fortress, the million-strong army within, and the four Saint Lord powerhouses led by Jia Li, vanished without a trace in this bombardment!

The swamp disappeared!
What remained were craters tens of zhang, or even deeper!
The miasma, under the erosion of terrifying energy and the steaming of intense heat, although not completely dispelled, was significantly diluted!
Meng Tian rode his horse slowly. Xie Lüyuang looked at the distant thousand-zhang fire dragons and intermittent explosions of fire seas, a cold smile on his lips. To die by the bombardment of the new-model trebuchets was their honor.
However!
A million-strong army!
Four Saint Lord powerhouses!
In terms of troops, this was almost half of the Demon Sea Swamp's elite. In terms of top-tier combat power, the Demon Sea Swamp had been severed in half.
"The effect is quite good!"
Gao Changgong smiled at Zhang Han in front of the army.
This was the first attempt combining the formation with the new technology, and it was the second generation update for the Great Han Divine Dynasty's siege weapons!
"General Gao, to be honest, before the trebuchets started bombing, I never imagined such a crushing victory. The million-strong army of the Demon Sea Swamp and the four Saint Lord powerhouses were so vulnerable!"
"Two rounds of bombardment have even caused significant changes to the terrain and climate of dozens of li here, but to completely change the Demon Sea Swamp might not be so easy!"
Zhang Han said calmly. The climate of dozens of li had been temporarily altered by the powerful bombardment, but it was not a long-term solution. Perhaps as time passed, it would return to its original state.
However, by then, it wouldn't be particularly important. The Ancestral Crocodile tribe that ruled here would have long since turned to dust.
"Yes, the thirty-six Daozhou lands are not too many, nor too few, but this matter can be left for Yuwen Kai and the others to worry about!!"
"Hahaha!!"
Hua Mulan said softly, followed by the hearty laughter of Dugu Xin, Fei Yingdong, Meng Wu, Wang Ben, and others.
