"Two Great Emperors from the Heavenly Dao Scout Brigades?"
Upon hearing Emperor Tian Yue's words, everyone was startled, "Esteemed General, we..."
Emperor Tian Yue nodded and said, "That's right, this is the trump card I've been holding. Don't be fooled by the fact that all the human generals have arrived. Sometimes, the true killing blow is this simple. These two peak Great Emperors from the Heavenly Dao Legions, even I wouldn't dare say I could defeat one of them. As long as you can hold off the four Great Emperors on the opposing side, it will be their time."
"Esteemed General, you are brilliant! With this, we can decide the outcome in one battle! Haha." The four legion commanders burst into laughter in unison.
Emperor Tian Yue, pleased with their flattery, nodded and said, "Then it's decided. Fifth, you will lead your legion to charge first, with Sixth and Ninth following behind. Leave your main legions in place. Twelfth, you will guard our flanks with your main legion as a reserve force. I will lead the Tian Yue Legion as the second wave of attack. We will launch the offensive in two hours, aiming to win this battle in one decisive engagement."
"Understood..."
At the human front lines, Wang Er Zhuang, hiding in a makeshift fortification, looked with a fawning expression at the eight miniature giant pandas before him. "Dragon Lord, we'll be troubling all you elders this time. Whether this kid can go home and live a happy life with my wife depends entirely on you gentlemen."
The giant pandas looked at Wang Er Zhuang, bewildered. "What does your happy life with your wife have to do with us brothers? If you're not capable, go find that great swindler Lin and get some aphrodisiac, don't waste our time here. What, are you trying to scam us?"
These eight giant pandas were none other than Tie Lao Da, Tie Long, and his brothers, whom Lin Zhan had tricked from the battlefield of Destiny. They were also Xiao Bao's eight older brothers.
Although Tie Lao Si and the other Iron Eaters were somewhat inferior, they had finally managed to advance to the Great Emperor realm, but their three older brothers were incredibly fierce.
Tie Lao Da and Tie Lao Er needed no further introduction. In the war against the Divine Race, the number of peak Great Emperors they killed couldn't even be counted on one hand. Even the demigod Ares was crippled by these two when they went berserk. Later, that old bear Tie Heng Xing ripped off his head, avenging the ancient blood feud of the Iron Eater clan.
After the war against the Divine Race, Tie Lao Da and Tie Lao Er also gained significant benefits. It could be said that they were only a sliver away from advancing to the demigod realm.
Even Tie Lao San, Tie Pi, was now at the peak of the Great Emperor realm. Furthermore, at the high level of Great Emperor, he had successfully killed a peak Great Emperor of the Divine Race single-handedly. Although Tie Lao San was almost disemboweled by this Divine Race Great Emperor, he ultimately succeeded. Tie Lao San also advanced to the peak of the Great Emperor realm through this feat, which demonstrated the ferocity of the Iron Eater clan.
As for the remaining five brothers, although they were far more useless than their three older brothers, if they were to face Great Emperors of the same level, it would be bragging to say they could fight a group of them, but fighting two was a standard operation.
"Er Zhuang, stop the chatter. The Heavenly Race is about to attack, hurry up and get to your post." Before Wang Er Zhuang could say anything more, Jiang Zheng called him away.
Seeing Wang Er Zhuang, who looked as if he was about to offer incense to the giant pandas, finally leave, the Tie brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Holy crap, where did this monstrous creature come from? We're about to go to war, and this kid comes to offer us incense. What is he thinking?" Tie Lao Da's gaze was filled with a trace of confusion.
Tie Lao Si sighed and said, "Big Brother, be content. The youngest one said that this kid is one of the two tigers, Er Hu, in the new generation of the human race. It's a good thing he didn't bring out a memorial tablet and carve our names on it. Why are you still being so picky?"
"That's right," Tie Lao Wu added, "The youngest one said that when these two tiger whistles first debuted, they dared to set up an ancestral shrine for Little Lin. What's a stick of incense compared to that?"
Tie Lao Da smacked his lips and said helplessly, "Alas, it must be tough for those old ancestors of the human race to guard these things. Let's go, brothers, we should get moving too, so as not to let this tiger kid's filial piety be in vain."
(Bandit leaders, pyramid scheme lecturers, ace assassins, fortune tellers, illegal demolishers, highway robbers, poachers, smugglers, counterfeiters, arms manufacturers, and a bunch of top enforcers are all here. Seeing these scoundrels, the ancestors are so happy their eyes are closing. (๑╹◡╹)ﾉ"""(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ"""(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ""")
"Big Brother is right. Let's sneak into the village without making a sound."
"Holy crap, Si Gou Zi, you're truly a dog."
The first line of defense on the front lines was held by He Da Zhuang's Second Army and the Nether Army's Third Legion, each sending 5 million troops.
The remaining half of the troops from the two legions formed the second line of defense behind them, ready to support their comrades at any time.
Jiang Zheng's Sixth Army served as the reserve force for the third line of defense, while the Nether Army's Fifth Legion acted as an emergency response unit, deployed wherever needed.
Wang Er Zhuang's eyes spun as he looked at the Heavenly Race's tight offensive formation, with heavy shields in front and archers behind.
Originally, when Ancestor Wang Jian led the Second Army, they were adept at defense and formations. Especially the Stone Army of the Second Army, who, armed with heavy shields and long spears, held their ground firmly against the advances of the Demon Race during the war of ten thousand races, not retreating an inch.
However, after being led by Wang Er Zhuang, the entire legion's style changed. While the Stone Army still retained their heavy shields and long spears, why was it that the soldiers of the Stone Army were constantly training to charge forward with heavy shields, then swing meteor hammers at people's heads?
And so, Wang Er Zhuang immediately threw 3 million men of the Stone Army onto the front lines. Seeing that the Heavenly Race had no cavalry charge, these soldiers abandoned their long spears and swung their meteor hammers with all their might, waiting for the enemy to come within striking distance.
The remaining two million troops also embodied Er Hu's style: 1 million heavy axemen and 1 million bed crossbowmen.
That's right, bed crossbows, not bow crossbows. These were small, rapid-fire bed crossbows operated by groups of four, firing arrows like long spears.
The Nether Army's Third Legion, cooperating with them, was equally perplexing. They seemed to be cut from the same cloth. While Wang Er Zhuang deployed 3 million heavy shield infantry in front, they interspersed 2 million Dragon Spear soldiers, each wielding a 7-meter-long dragon spear. Since it was a defensive battle, all they needed to do was thrust forward.
The remaining 3 million troops were arranged with 2 million agile saber and shield soldiers and 1 million heavy archers, perfectly compensating for the shortcomings of Wang Er Zhuang's legion.
