"Surrender!"
"Or disappear with this Baihaiguan!"
Cao Wei said coldly, looking at Ying Yuan who walked out of the ruins.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The soldiers of the White Tiger Legion simultaneously erupted with divine power. All of them were in the Divine Fire realm, and some had even reached the Void God realm!
One soldier, not even a deputy general, had actually reached the Void God realm!
What a terrifying legion this was!
And there were ten such legions in the Great Han Celestial Dynasty!
"Tian Gang Shang Zong Ying Yuan surrenders!"
A blood-soaked Ying Yuan stepped through the dust, gazing powerlessly at Cao Wei holding his long sword, and the powerful legion behind him.
"Boom!"
He knelt on both knees, Ying Yuan's expression was dazed. He had been competitive his whole life, but in the end, he had failed to achieve his wish.
"By the imperial decree of the Great Han Heavenly Emperor!"
"Ying Yuan is enfeoffed as an elder of Taoism, the Tian Gang Shang Zong is abolished, and the former disciples of Tian Gang Shang Zong are divided into two, each incorporated into Taoism and the legion!"
Cao Wei handed the imperial decree to Ying Yuan.
"General, what about the Haiyun Divine Dynasty... Aren't we fighting them anymore? The disciples behind me can also go to the battlefield and expand the territory for the Heavenly Emperor!"
Ying Yuan dazedly took the imperial decree. He wanted to join the army and fight, allowing his disciples to gain some military merits and receive better treatment.
"No need!"
"The Haiyun Divine Dynasty has other legions!"
Cao Wei glanced at Ying Yuan and said coldly.
"Clang!"
His long sword stood in the void: "The White Tiger Legion continues to advance!"
Although the Tian Gang Shang Zong had surrendered, the remaining Dao prefectures still needed to be taken over.
...
"Your Highness! The Great Han Celestial Dynasty's Vermilion Bird Legion has already advanced to the border!"
"Your Highness! The Great Han Celestial Dynasty's Vermilion Bird Legion is less than a hundred miles from our defensive fortress!"
In the border defensive fortress of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty, King Chu Hai Lingyu held a golden battle axe and stood on the city wall of the fortress.
After the Taigu Divine Mountain surrendered to the Great Han, the Haiyun Divine Dynasty's Divine Emperor Hai Yao hurriedly handed over the conscripted national army to Hai Lingyu and Hai Xing'an, especially Hai Lingyu, who received the eighty thousand elite troops of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty!
The entire defensive fortress, the city walls could only accommodate a hundred thousand soldiers. The main roads within the city had forty thousand soldiers. In the void several tens of meters above the fortress, thirty thousand elite soldiers were continuously reinforcing the defensive array.
"The Great Han Celestial Dynasty's Vermilion Bird Legion? Sigh! Captain, have you heard of the Great Han Celestial Dynasty's Vermilion Bird Legion?"
"They're not as strong as the Kui Niu Legion and the White Tiger Legion, are they?!"
"If we encounter the Kui Niu and White Tiger legions, we'll be done for!"
Inside the city, a soldier in the Unity realm was wiping his long saber and said to the being with a scarred face in the Divine Fire realm next to him.
"The Vermilion Bird Legion?"
The man sneered: "This legion only had some achievements when they unified the five Dao prefectures back then, sweeping away some flies. They are far from the White Tiger Legion and the Kui Niu Legion!"
"It's probably because the Great Han is getting weak. After all, sweeping across the entire West Hundred Cities is too ambitious. The army has been fighting incessantly. It's probably reaching its limit."
"I heard the Vermilion Bird Legion has someone named Guan Yu!"
A steady being walked over and said to the two: "The Vermilion Bird Legion only has this Guan Yu who is said to be a Saint!"
"One Saint isn't enough to carry our King's shoes!"
The soldier in the Unity realm said, some of the fear in his eyes disappearing.
"You can't say that. Every official in the Great Han is a heavenly prodigy, capable of fighting beyond their level!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The enemy has already pressed in, hurry up and get ready, we'll be ready to fight at any moment!!"
A deputy general rode his warhorse and said.
At this time, at another end of the defensive fortress, Lu Kang, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Ma Chao, leading fifty thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers, were pulling the entire legion's trebuchets towards the defensive fortress!
These trebuchets had been modified by Yuan Tiangang, adding some means to break through the defensive array. Although the effect was minimal, it couldn't withstand continuous bombardment!
Half an hour later, Ma Chao and others led the army to within ten miles of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty's defensive array.
"King Chu of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty, Hai Lingyu!"
Ma Chao looked at the city wall and instantly captured the aura of the Saint King. He then smiled slightly.
"Halt the army, prepare the trebuchets!"
Lu Kang looked at the distance and shouted fiercely, holding a general's flag.
Boom!
Trebuchets were pushed out from the army, and what was placed on them was completely different from when they were in the lower planes.
After being modified by Yuan Tiangang, each blazing iron ball was equipped with three layers of small bombardment arrays. These arrays could only be activated by violent impact. That is to say, in addition to the damage caused by the blazing iron ball, there were three more layers of bombardment means. This array was also very effective in destroying the city-protecting array.
Soon, all thirty thousand trebuchets of the Vermilion Bird Legion were lined up, forming several layers inside and out.
Rumble!
After the blazing iron balls were ready, Lu Kang directly issued the order to bombard. For a time, the end of the sky was like a surging sea of fire sweeping in!
With a roar, heaven and earth shook!
The blazing iron balls, burning with layers of flames, shone like the sun and moon due to the violent friction. Tens of thousands of blazing iron balls, from the third army's position, flew towards the Haiyun Divine Dynasty's defensive fortress. The sky and earth were filled with a sea of fire.
Rumble!
The trebuchets fired blazing iron balls rhythmically. Each surging iron ball, carrying layers of bombardment formations, directly smashed into the city-protecting array!
Boom boom boom...!
The Haiyun Divine Dynasty's defensive array instantly glowed intensely. Thirty thousand soldiers channeled their divine power to continuously reinforce the defensive array. As the first wave of bombardment landed, the divine light surged, and the waves of fire raged. The entire Haiyun Divine Dynasty's defensive fortress was engulfed in a sea of fire.
"Continue, don't stop!"
Lu Kang continuously commanded the army. Blazing iron balls shot into the sky. After impacting the city-protecting array, the three layers of small arrays were directly activated, starting to wear down the city-protecting array!
According to Fazheng's plan, Lu Kang and others did not fight to the death. Otherwise, the first wave of bombardment would have shattered this defensive array.
In the area where Hai Xing'an's million-strong army was stationed, fire blazed in the direction of the defensive fortress, and muffled roars could be heard in the void!
Hai Xing'an felt a bad omen, stepped into the void, and looked in the direction of the defensive fortress. There, there was no longer a fortress, only a giant fireball, with waves of fire shooting out, and streams of fire dragons soaring into the sky.
The bombardment from the trebuchets did not stop!
The impact made the city-protecting array tremble faintly!
"Your Highness!"
"Should we send reinforcements?"
"If this continues, the city-protecting array will collapse sooner or later!"
A Saint level general said worriedly.
