The Goddess of the Divine Race was intercepting the rocket launchers with her men when suddenly, the kings of the ten thousand races beside her were mowed down by a volley of arrows.
Seeing the next wave of rocket launchers about to descend, the Goddess of the Divine Race had no time to search for the attacker and quickly issued a warning.
"Everyone be careful, it's the God-Slaying Crossbow, people from Great Shang are here."
Upon hearing the voice, the Demon Prince shouted to the Giant Demon Forest behind him, "Guards, you continue air defense, the Princess and I will lead our men to pursue and kill the attackers."
More than ten thousand kings of the ten thousand races emerged from the Giant Demon Forest, replacing the positions of the Demon Race's heavy armored guards.
The Demon Race, leading their men, charged towards the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard. Lin Zhan sneered dismissively.
Tie Ha'er and Lie Shan Long Que, leading the Iron Eater Beast Legion and the Lie Shan Clan's heavy armored guards, suddenly burst out from their hiding places.
The moment they engaged, the Demon Race's heavy armored guards were stunned.
Although the Demon Race's heavy armored guards wore heavy armor and were all high-level kings, the Lie Shan Clan's heavy armored guards were not to be trifled with either. In ancient times, the Lie Shan Clan's heavy armored guards, led by the four great lords of the universe, had directly crippled the heavy armored legions of the divine and demon races. Today's operation was merely a reenactment of history.
As for the Iron Eater Beasts, those sturdy fellows, no one could be sturdier than them.
They wore rune-imbued armor provided by Lin Zhan on the outside, and within, they wore protective battle armor refined from the molted skins of their elders during their advancement. Coupled with their bronze bones and metal-elemental talent, it was impossible for attacks lacking deep power to breach the defenses of these dazzling, bright, light-bulb-like creatures.
As for their offense, it was even more ferocious. They wore gauntlets refined from the claws shed by Foundation-level Iron Eater Beast Emperors, combined with their strong physique and powerful bite force, they were born for fighting and brawling.
When these sturdy fellows clashed with the Demon Race's heavy armored guards, they immediately took down over 2,000 of the enemy.
The Demon Prince was surrounded and beaten by Tie Ha'er and several of his brothers of the same generation.
"Princess, quickly bring reinforcements, or my men will all be lost."
Hearing the Demon Race's plea for help, the Goddess of the Divine Race quickly led the Divine Race's heavy armored guards to reinforce them.
Lin Zhan said to Xuan Zhen, "You and the Great Shang Guard keep your focus, just deal with those miscellaneous kings of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance. Aim to take down 20,000 kings tonight. Don't be stingy with your crossbow bolts; at worst, your young master will take you home and we'll all sell blood."
After saying that, he grabbed the Wind Thunder Great Saber, and along with Lu Bu, a few others, and the Five Little Ones, they roared and charged into the battlefield.
Upon their arrival, the Divine Race's heavy armored guards charged directly into the fray, engaging the Iron Eater Beast Legion.
As for the Demon Prince, despite his cries of distress, not many of the Demon Race's heavy armored guards had actually died. After all, both the Divine and Demon races were known for their wealth, and the members of these two heavy armored legions were carefully selected from their respective races. Not only were their strengths superior to kings of the same level, but each of them also possessed a robust physique. Coupled with heavy armor refined from imperial-grade materials, the heavy armored guards of the Divine and Demon races were arguably no less formidable than Lin Zhan's meticulously armed Lie Shan Clan heavy armored guards.
The heavy armored guards of the Divine and Demon races brandished their greatswords, each taller than a man, and charged towards the Lie Shan Clan's heavy armored guards.
Lie Shan Long Que scoffed, "What era is this still using greatswords? Nowadays, the focus is on coordinated combat with multiple weapons per soldier."
"Flying axe attack."
Under Lie Shan Long Que's command, a volley of flying axes was launched towards the heavy armored guards of the Divine and Demon races.
After the barrage of flying axes, the Lie Shan Clan's heavy armored guards formed ranks: the first row raised heavy shields, the second row held dragon spears, and the third and fourth rows drew out pole-axes or battle axes.
With a clang, the two heavy armored guards collided.
Tie Ha'er glanced back at the Lie Shan Clan's battlefield and smacked his lips, "4,000 against 5,000. Not a problem."
Then, he roared at the Iron Eater Beast Legion's battlefield, "Brothers, pin down those damn brats from the Divine and Demon races. If too many get through, the Lie Shan Clan brothers won't be able to hold them off."
With 8,888 Iron Eater Beast Kings facing 15,000 heavy armored guards from the Divine and Demon races, such a feat could only be undertaken with gusto by the stolid Iron Eater Beasts.
"Brothers, we need to take down these scoundrels first, and then, when no one is fighting you, give their heads a good kick. That's how they'll truly die." Tie Ha'er roared loudly on the battlefield while stomping a Divine Race heavy armored guard to death. "Otherwise, these scoundrels' shells are too hard, and fighting them is endless."
While the heavy armored guards of the Divine and Demon races were constantly being knocked down by the Iron Eater Beast Legion, few were truly killed. On the other hand, the Lie Shan Clan's battlefield was truly fierce, with casualties on both sides.
Xuan Zhen's eyes turned red as he saw the fallen Lie Shan Clan warriors, but he still shouted to the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard, "Brothers, the young master is personally fighting on the front lines, risking his life, so that we can kill more kings of the ten thousand races. Otherwise, our troops will suffer heavy losses when encountering them."
Following Xuan Zhen's roar, God-Slaying Crossbow bolts were fired towards the kings of the ten thousand races who were busy intercepting the rocket launchers.
The kings of the ten thousand races, who had been used as targets, felt extremely aggrieved and sent out 3,000 Orcish kings, entering a blood-burning frenzy and charging towards the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard.
Xuan Zhen roared with a ferocious expression, "First, fire a volley at these beasts, then send out 1,000 brothers with me to chop them down." After firing his crossbow bolt, he grabbed his great saber and led 1,000 Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard members to charge forward.
The personnel at the rocket launch base had been observing the battlefield through the eyes of reconnaissance. The young Taoist priest, seeing another 3,000 kings of the ten thousand races retreat, jumped up and shouted into the intercom, "Uncle Leng, keep firing. Stop only when the launch base can no longer be used."
He then turned to Jiang Zhongtian and shouted, "Grandpa Jiang, lead the Sixth Army Group to deploy defenses outside the combat fortress, and bring out all 500 missile launch vehicles from the warehouse to join the fight." "Damn it, I'm not going to hold back this time. Let's finish them all off, so they stop thinking about firing a few shots at everyone they see."
Jiang Zhongtian nodded and left with Zhang Dabiao.
The entire Human Race, filled with fighting spirit, had also become fierce. Da Jin, seeing his cousin Xiao Jin being wounded twice, also clamored to lead his men to the battlefield. "Brother, what are we still contemplating? None of us Dragon Clan warriors fear death. We can't just watch our brothers fight bloody battles here while we stand by."
The young Taoist priest glared and roared, "What's the rush? If you go up now, who will lead the charge against the Giant Demon Forest? Just stay put. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, don't blame me for punishing you!"
