The nuclear explosion's clouds and dust were still churning into the sky, and terrifying energy gathered in the atmosphere outside the imperial capital.
Dust and moisture converged, forming deep black storm clouds. Within these clouds, positive and negative charges, under the friction of natural forces, fused together to create streaks of terrifying lightning that tore through the heavens.
Boom!!
Amidst the thunderous roars,
The black legion of the undead transformed into a tide of crimson, charging towards the line of defense built by the Great Yan army with their flesh and blood!
The roar of cannons and firearms was almost comparable to the explosion of thunder.
But the thunder of the undead Death Knights' hooves could even drown out the thunder and artillery fire!
After the nuclear explosion, the ground, turned into glass by the super high temperature, was shattered by the black iron hooves.
At the far end of the horizon, the black legion of knights surged like a tide, unstoppable!
All the soldiers' energy was focused on attacking!
Gazing at the approaching enemy, the artillery fire kicked up a sky full of dust, covering them.
But in an instant, the dust was scattered by the ocean of black iron cavalry.
The ferocious aura of the undead was still incredibly terrifying, even from ten thousand meters away.
Most of the soldiers, who had not been upgraded, were relying entirely on willpower to withstand this mountain-collapsing, sea-surging, terrifying aura.
Their minds were concentrated to the extreme. Even as the leading Skeleton Knight's long sword swung towards the old general, no one cried out.
They fiercely pulled the trigger, only hoping to inflict more damage on the enemy.
But as they watched the old general about to fall, the soldiers who bled but did not shed tears, their eyes almost burst with blood from anger.
At this final moment,
Silver flames mixed with crimson streams tore through the terrifying battlefield covered by dark clouds and thunder.
A man in black, with his back to the army, stood alone in the air.
With one hand, he blocked the charging undead iron cavalry. The incredibly sharp long sword could not advance another inch.
Even though Chen Luo's eyes could not be seen, the army behind him felt a sense of resonance at this moment.
Beings of the Abyss level could overturn heaven and earth with a single thought.
And on this battlefield where fantasy and reality converged, Chen Luo's overflowing anger, along with the anger in his compatriots' hearts, also converged.
Gazing at the Skeleton Knight who arrogantly declared he would turn humans into livestock, Chen Luo's anger almost solidified:
"Do you think Great Yan has no one?!"
Seeing his long sword being held, the Skeleton Knight was filled with uncontrollable shock.
When did he appear? Was it a skill?
What was his strength? Why did I feel an uncontrollable tremor?
Was he truly human?!
Countless questions churned in the Skeleton Knight's mind, and a sense of existential crisis prevented it from moving an inch.
The man's golden eyes put immense pressure on the knight, as if being stared at by a legendary dragon!
However, after hearing the man's question, the Skeleton Knight could not help but retort:
"By the King's command... humanity must be extinguished at this time!"
Upon hearing this, the old general behind him, who had been utterly astonished, instinctively wanted to curse.
But an indescribable pressure made him feel as if his breathing had become difficult.
Chen Luo, however, did not get agitated upon hearing the Skeleton Knight's presumptuous words.
Chen Luo's eyes flashed with divine light, and a magnificent magic rune was instantly drawn:
"Then today, I shall slaughter your king."
Without agitation, without a roar, Chen Luo seemed to be stating a very ordinary, everyday matter.
Thunder exploded in the sky, armies charged, and the sound of artillery fire roared through the heavens, but Chen Luo's calm voice was not drowned out by anything.
The Skeleton Knight, whose sword was restrained by Chen Luo, heard Chen Luo's words. Its dead skeletal body trembled with excitement at the offense to its king.
It suddenly released the controlled long sword with its armored hand. The turbid soul fire in the eyes of the skeletal knight on the warhorse flared up:
"To offend our King! You shall be executed!!!"
Releasing the sword, it clenched its fist with all its might, and the iron fist, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, lunged towards Chen Luo's head!
"Be careful!" The old general behind him couldn't help but exclaim.
But Chen Luo calmly gazed at the Skeleton Knight's attack. When the fist was less than a fist's distance from his head, he softly uttered a syllable:
"Annihilate!"
Golden sparks flowed out from the void, instantly engulfing the monster.
Even though it was only an S-class skill, the absolute difference in power level caused the skill's effect to change drastically.
Boom!!
The sparks ignited the monster without separation. Starting from the charging fist, this monster, which could not be harmed by firearms or heavy artillery,
Was actually reduced to ashes at an incredibly terrifying speed!
Whoosh!
The gust of wind generated by the fist brushed past Chen Luo's face, even causing the old general behind him to stagger.
But the ferocious monster, in an instant, turned into a wisp of white ash, man and horse alike.
And this white ash, in the wind of the fist, completely dissipated.
The old general could not comprehend the scene before him; it all felt like a dream.
Such a terrifying and horrifying monster, even if the entire "Dragon Fang" squad attacked, they would likely be annihilated.
But such a monster was instantly burned to ashes?
Even if the old general hadn't activated his Eagle Eye technique beforehand, he probably wouldn't have been able to see the monster's disappearance process.
He looked at Chen Luo, who had his back to him, and a feeling of surviving a disaster made his body tremble slightly.
This trembling was not due to the fear of death, but the fear that the man before him was merely his hallucination.
"You... No! Who are you?!"
Chen Luo turned his head at the question. The old general, looking at the young man's celestial appearance, was also somewhat stunned.
Chen Luo, looking at the old man who had appeared at the military parade, couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
In the dark storm clouds, the lightning tearing through the sky continued to roar, and the confrontation between the two armies had reached its most fervent peak.
The wind howled, and the bone horses roared!
But all those who were not engaged in combat couldn't help but look towards the very front of the two armies' confrontation.
The man who appeared in the center of the battlefield now seemed to be the center of everything.
Chen Luo looked at the old man with silver hair, at the warriors with resolute faces in the distance, unafraid of death, and couldn't help but show a gentle smile:
"Me? I am Chen Luo."
"In the past, I was one of the civilians you protected."
His voice, filled with goodwill, reached every soldier's ears. But there wasn't much time for further conversation; the sound of iron hooves was already close at hand.
The terrifying army, like a black tide, with the might to destroy everything, charged towards the human defense line!
Gazing at the monster tide less than a hundred meters away, even the bravest warrior couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Chen Luo simply turned his head calmly, looking at the ferocious monsters, and the undying flames ignited in his golden eyes:
"Since you've come! Leave your lives behind!!"
"Legion, descend!!!"
