Chapter 519: Chapter 243: Complete Victory, Pride and Relief! (Seeking Monthly Pass)
With Xu Zhou’s order, the entire 8,000 soldiers of the 23rd Brigade were suddenly shocked.
And the next moment, they realized, could there be an enemy approaching?
Even on the battlefield, they wouldn’t easily form a strong attack formation unless they encounter the enemy head-on, as it is very energy-consuming.
Very quickly, Zhang Yuandong was the first to discover the presence of enemy forces.
"Is that... a division of ten thousand people?!"
"The second division under the command of the Earth Star 3rd Corps?"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuandong was utterly stunned.
He hadn’t expected Earth Star to dispatch a full division to flank Black Lao Mountain.
But at this moment, Zhang Yuandong felt no joy at encountering the enemy, instead, he was filled with anxiety.
"A division of ten thousand people... how could we possibly defeat that? The commander is still asking us to form a strong attack formation?"
What is he thinking?
Does Xu Zhou really intend to directly confront the Ten Thousand People Division?!
Just thinking about it, Zhang Yuandong found it impossible, as the second division was the elite ace division, not something their remnants could contend with.
Even the heavy-armored brigade he used to belong to was no match for them!
Zhang Yuandong hurried forward, addressing Xu Zhou: "Commander, the gap between us and the enemy is immense, should we..."
Before he could finish, Xu Zhou raised his hand and said: "Follow my command, form a strong attack formation, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"This..."
Zhang Yuandong was instantly dumbfounded, but a military order is as solid as a mountain, so he quickly replied, "Yes!"
The entire 23rd Brigade rapidly mobilized.
...
Just as Zhang Yuandong detected the second division.
In the second division, Xiu Xi Bo also detected the presence of the 23rd Brigade.
He suddenly raised his fist, signaling the entire army to halt.
Immediately after, Xiu Xi Bo carefully observed ahead and quickly learned the approximate number of the 23rd Brigade.
"A heavy-armored brigade of 8,000 people?"
Xiu Xi Bo’s face suddenly darkened, this was not good news.
To flank Black Lao Mountain from the side and attack the rear of the 108th division, the path ahead was the only route.
This was also the reason why the 23rd Brigade ambushed here; if an enemy passed by, they would inevitably encounter each other.
And at this moment, the second division indeed encountered them.
As Xiu Xi Bo contemplated whether to advance or retreat, the deputy commander beside him suddenly said: "Commander, the situation with the first division is somewhat unfavorable, we need to quickly go back to support them!"
"What?"
Xiu Xi Bo’s face changed: "The first division is no match for the 108th division?"
With this realization, he couldn’t afford to waste time here.
Originally, he planned to annihilate the 8,000-strong heavy-armored brigade before flanking and ambushing the rear of the 108th brigade.
Although an 8,000-strong heavy-armored brigade was troublesome, for a ten thousand strong Earth Star division, it could still easily be crushed.
But now, with the situation changed, they might have to return the way they came to support the first division.
At this point, Xiu Xi Bo prepared to give the order to return and support.
"Boom!"
But at this moment, a violent roar came from the front.
Immediately thereafter, Xiu Xi Bo saw the formation of 8,000 soldiers suddenly rise into the air, bursting with a monstrous aura, then charging towards them!
"Damn it!"
Xiu Xi Bo knew his second division had been discovered.
However, he was eager to return to support and didn’t want to fight the 23rd Brigade head-on.
Thus, Xiu Xi Bo loudly ordered: "Form a defensive formation! Return along the original route!"
Swish swish swish!
In an instant, the second division quickly formed a formation, a pitch-black circular shield rose into the sky, colorful and black, enveloping the entire army.
The second division led by Xiu Xi Bo was also an ace unit under the Earth Star 3rd Corps.
If they wanted to leave, no one could stop them!
But to Xiu Xi Bo’s surprise, the speed of the 23rd Brigade was even faster than theirs.
Xu Zhou stood above the formation of 8,000 people, feeling the mighty power of the 8,000 soldiers converging into one, a tremendously powerful aura erupted from within him.
If any seventh-grade strong individuals sensed this aura, they would feel insignificant.
This was Xu Zhou after breaking through the peak of fifth grade, further mastering the Heaven and Earth Energy.
"Now I can perfectly unleash the full strength of this 8,000-strong heavy-armored battle formation."
Xu Zhou’s gaze swept across, looking at the rapidly speeding second division formation ahead.
A golden-red long blade appeared in his hand, with a light flick.
A passionate blade sound was heard, and in a flash, a blade light five thousand meters long rose up, piercing the sky.
Along with it came a firm, soft shout: "Kill!"
Rumble!
The blade light, like a river of stars pouring down, the five-thousand-meter brilliant blade light, carrying terrifying pressure, slashed directly at the second division ahead.
The blade light, though enormous, was as fast as lightning.
With a crash!
It struck straight onto the pitch-black circular shield condensed by the second division.
"Rumble!"
In an instant, a terrifying energy wave erupted, causing the mountain in front to collapse like an avalanche.
In the formation of the 23rd Brigade, Zhang Yuandong saw this scene, showing a look of astonishment on his face: "The commander can unleash such power?!"
The previous strike already had the power of seventh-grade or above.
Only high-grade strong individuals could destroy the world in an instant!
And for Xu Zhou to achieve this step meant he had to carry high-grade energy.
For someone of the fifth grade, this was an unimaginable feat.
It meant Xu Zhou’s control over the 8,000-man formation had reached an extremely high level!
"Seems I underestimated him before."
Looking at Xu Zhou ahead, Zhang Yuandong felt slightly reassured.
...
Xu Zhou naturally didn’t know Zhang Yuandong’s thoughts.
