142: Chapter 142 Resource Dumping, Berserk Blood Battle Formation
The military formations on the three city walls changed simultaneously, and the defensive posture maintained for many days began to move forward, while the Nine Suns Heaven-Locking Formation also stopped shrinking further.
Wang Mu transferred the three sub-formations of the central army to the eastern front, concentrated the Sword Qi Battalion to the western wall, and handed over the northern front to Wang Shan to lead in person.
"Artillery Battalion, break the rear army first. Shield Soldiers, clear out the remaining enemies under the city. All Extreme Realm Cultivators shall collect mad blood battle pills, and a comprehensive counterattack will begin in half a quarter of an hour!"
The military order spread across the outposts, twelve military depots opened simultaneously, and transport vehicles filled with Medicinal Pills drove towards the three city gates.
Three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artistss of the Vanguard Battalion gathered on the northern front. Each of them had suppressed their Realm for many years, and their Qi and blood surged beneath their armor, resembling a volcano about to erupt.
Wang Shan stood in front of the military formation, opened his portable medicine box, and poured all the mad blood battle pills inside into a military pill chest.
Logistics soldiers carried over more pill chests, distributing them row by row according to the array. Every Extreme Realm Martial Artists received three battle pills and two nourishment pills.
Wang Shan picked up a mad blood battle pill, slammed his crimson flame saber heavily onto the ground, and said, "The Divine Lord has given us confidence, today we will slaughter them all!"
Three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artistss swallowed the battle pills simultaneously. The dark red medicinal power entered their throats, and the Qi and blood suppressed for a hundred years no longer had any scruples, surging straight to their celestial spirits.
The nine blood lines on the xueming mysterious armor lit up one after another. Three thousand sets of mysterious armor were connected through the military formation, and Qi and blood surged toward the firmament along the formation lines.
The alien Divine Power above the city wall was forcibly pushed away, and the dark red Evil Qi crossed the formation screen, condensing into a double-faced Mingwang phantom.
One side of the Mingwang phantom held a shield while the other held a saber, its four arms suppressing the three battle lines, and the heavy Qi and blood caused the surrounding seawater to recede outward.
Tuya had just prepared to lead the Jellyfish Legion to retreat when his Divine Thought touched the double-faced Mingwang phantom. The tentacles of the giant jellyfish beneath him curled up, forcing it to stop mid-air.
Baer's Crab Soldiers also fell into chaos. They were best at frontal assaults, yet they could not withstand the coercion gathered by three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artistss. The Crab Soldiers in the front row were forced to retreat repeatedly, their carapaces clicking under the squeeze.
Carlo stood on the altar and issued divine decrees consecutively, demanding the three legions to reform their formations, but the alien vanguard army had already lost the courage to continue attacking.
Wang Mu did not give them a chance to adjust. The command flag fell toward the eastern front, and four hundred zifu heavy cannons simultaneously replaced their armor-piercing shells.
This kind of shell used blood essence ore as its main body, and was engraved with nine layers of armor-breaking runes inside, making its cost far higher than pure yang bursting shells.
Previously, restricted by inventory, the Immortal Martial Legion had not used them on a large scale, but now a hundred years of divine kingdom production had filled the Artillery Battalion's warehouse.
After checking the coordinates of the eastern front, the Artillery Battalion captain concentrated two hundred heavy cannons into the same area, with all muzzles locked onto the central army of the Crab Soldiers.
"First sequence, three full salvoes of armor-piercing shells. Lift those hard shells first, lest the Casting Workshop complains later that the Materials are hard to dismantle!"
The military flag fell, and two hundred armor-piercing shells crossed the eastern wall, falling into the retreating military formation of the Crab Soldiers.
The first round of shells pierced through the outer bone shields, and the armor-breaking runes penetrated deep into the flesh along the cracks of the crab shells, overturning hundreds of Crab Soldiers on the spot.
The second round of shells fell closely behind, tearing open large gaps in the originally dense central army, and dozens of deep craters were blasted out of the muddy road.
The third round of shelling covered the commander's military formation beside Baer, scattering thousands of heavily armored Crab Soldiers, leaving all city-ramming chariots in place.
Baer waved his six arms to prop up a Divine Power barrier, protecting himself and several commanders, but was powerless to take care of the large army scattered on the muddy road.
The eastern city gate opened immediately, and the Shield Soldiers of the three sub-formations were the first to leave the city, advancing forward with heavy shields pressing against the corpses of the Crab Soldiers.
The shield wall did not stop near the Formation Plate, but rushed all the way through the muddy road, splitting those Crab Soldiers who had lost their military formation to both sides.
The heavy armored saber soldiers followed closely behind, their long sabers hacking at the cracks of the crab shells. The injuries caused by artillery fire became the clearest armor-breaking marks.
Many Crab Soldiers waved their bone pincers to counterattack. After their weapons struck the xueming mysterious armor, the force was completely dispersed by the nine blood lines.
The counter-shock was sent back into their bodies along the bone pincers. The wrists of the Crab Soldiers broke on the spot, and not even a white mark could be found left on the surface of the mysterious armor.
Relying on their heavy carapaces to run amok for many years, they lost their advantage in a frontal collision for the first time, and the vanguard army quickly turned around and fled toward the Muddy Sea Divine Kingdom.
While the eastern front advanced, the Guiyuan Sword Screen on the western wall opened to both sides, and three thousand Sword Cultivators stepped on Flying Swords to cross the city wall.
The newly supplemented Extreme Realm Cultivators took over the formation eyes, and the Sword Qi Battalion no longer needed to leave people to maintain defense. All sword tips were aimed at the Jellyfish Legion.
Tens of thousands of Flying Swords were divided into a hundred sword teams, cutting into the jellyfish formation from different directions, prioritizing the severing of venom sacs and thick tentacles.
After losing their venom sacs, the jellyfish could no longer continue remote attacks, and could only drag their bodies back, squeezing each other to cause greater chaos.
Tuya waved his remaining bone spurs, wanting to gather the poisonous fog again, but three rounds of pure yang shells had already fallen in front of his personal guard unit.
Flames tore through the poisonous fog, and Wang Shan led three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artistss to transfer from the northern front to the western side, with the double-faced Mingwang phantom following to press toward the Jellyfish Legion.
He ignored the scattered soldiers along the way, pointing his crimson flame saber directly at the giant jellyfish where Tuya was located, and three thousand Martial Masters formed a spearhead array to follow the charge.
Tuya's personal guard unit still had more than two thousand men remaining, and they raised venom-bone heavy shields, forming a six-layer defense line along the outer periphery of the giant jellyfish.
Every layer of the shield wall was connected to Tuya's Divine Power, and venom flowed along the shield surface, attempting to corrode the Qi and blood formation patterns of the xueming mysterious armor.
Wang Shan swallowed the second mad blood battle pill, and the medicinal power was pressed into the crimson flame saber. Behind him, the double-faced Mingwang phantom also raised a hundred-zhang battle saber.
"Clear away all those blocking the way. Leave Tuya to me. Whoever dares to snatch him, I will deduct ten years of their military merit!"
Three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artistss let out an angry roar, and the Qi and blood military formation charged forward into the personal guard shield wall, shattering the outermost venom-bone shields one after another.
Alien spears stabbed out from behind the shields, landing on the shoulder and chest armor of the xueming mysterious armor, and the spear shafts were snapped in rows by the counter-shock force.
The vanguard Martial Artists did not stop. Their dark iron heavy shields pushed away the venom, and blood-lined spears penetrated the bodies of the jellyfish guards through the gaps.
Wang Shan stepped over the shattered bone shields, his crimson flame saber rolling up a hundred zhang of firelight, and slashed down toward the center of the personal guard military formation.
The six-layer shield array was forcefully split open by the firelight, and the jellyfish guards blocking the front, along with their heavy shields, shattered into charred charcoal in the flames.
The giant jellyfish beneath Tuya was impacted by the Qi and blood, hundreds of tentacles lost control, and its massive body plummeted toward the sea surface.
Tuya leaped up from the back of the jellyfish. Three of his six bone spurs had already broken, and he could only rely on Divine Power to hover above the poisonous sea.
Looking at his personal guard unit that had been cleared away with a single saber strike, he no longer had any thoughts of continuing to resist, and turned around to retreat toward the border of his own divine kingdom.
Wang Shan did not pursue and kill the alien deity. Wang Mu's military order was still to clear the legions first, to prevent the three divine kingdoms from taking the opportunity to counterattack.
After losing Wang Shan on the northern front, Carlo originally wanted to reorganize the Scale Demons army, but was instead met by three sub-formations composed of newly advanced Extreme Realm Cultivators.
These academy graduates were stepping into a real divine war for their first time, yet their strikes did not have the slightest bit of chaos, and their execution of formation orders was completely without deviation.
The Shield Soldiers pushed away the corpses under the city, the Spear Battalion sealed both wings, and the heavy armored saber soldiers pressed from the center into the remnants of the Scale Demons.
The ordinary Scale Demons driven by Carlo were unstable even in their bone-refining cultivation, and their weapons hacking on the xueming mysterious armor could only leave shallow scratches.
The counter-shock of the mysterious armor erupted subsequently. The wrists of the saber-wielding Scale Demons broke, and the spears from behind had already pierced through their chests, flicking the corpses out of the military formation.
The elite Scale Demons who had experienced ten days of attrition could not hold on against the counterattack either. Their Medicinal Pills had long been used up, and many people were fighting forcibly with injuries.
However, the Immortal Martial armored soldiers could take mad blood battle pills to enhance their combat power, and after the medicinal power faded, they still had nourishment pills to repair their Meridians, having no fear of continuous charging at all.
The shield wall on the northern front advanced thirty miles forward, and the Scale Demon formation was cut into dozens of segments, making it impossible for the front and rear armies to transmit orders anymore.
Carlo continuously urged sea walls to block them, but the Nine Suns Heaven-Locking Formation expanded along with the Immortal Martial Legion, pressing more sea areas back to both sides.
Heavy cannons were pushed onto newly built artillery platforms, the Formation Hall laid formation piles behind the legion, and the outpost control range began to expand outward.
After the three battle lines transitioned from defense to advancement, the ten days of accumulated fatigue of the alien coalition forces were fully exposed, and there were no longer any rotational troops available.
The Crab Soldiers on the eastern front were scattered by armor-piercing shells, the Jellyfish Legion on the western front lost their venom sacs, and the Scale Demons on the northern front were even pressed back to the sea altar.
Yet the Immortal Martial Legion maintained a complete formation. The wounded took medicine in the rear army, and replacements continuously entered the front line from the cross-border passage.
When alien commanders attempted to gather their subordinates, the Sword Qi Battalion severed the military flags from afar, and the Artillery Battalion closely followed by covering the gathering area.
After losing their commanders, the alien soldiers could only flee along the direction of their respective divine kingdoms, and the crowded passages were quickly blocked by the corpses of their own kind.
Baer raised his warhammer to block the retreating soldiers, but several Crab Soldier commanders bypassed the divine decree and rushed toward the boundary of the muddy sea with their personal guards.
Tuya likewise lost control of his army. The jellyfish soldiers only cared about returning to the poisonous sea, and refused to protect his giant mount any longer.
Carlo was the most frantic. He drove Divine Power chains into the Scale Demon military formation, forcing thousands of deserters to turn around and meet the Immortal Martial armored soldiers in battle.
As soon as those Scale Demons turned their heads, the heavy cannon armor-piercing shells smashed into the military formation, and the Divine Power chains broke along with flesh and blood.
Wang Shan stood beneath the double-faced Mingwang phantom, pointing his crimson flame saber at the three routed armies, and three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artistss continued to pierce through along the gaps in the military formation.
Fifty thousand Immortal Martial heavy armor soldiers also fully left the city, and thirty-six sub-formations advanced alternately, leaving no opportunity for the aliens to stop and reorganize their formation.
More than half of the three hundred thousand alien coalition forces had already been killed or wounded, and the remaining troops were divided into countless batches of routed soldiers, being chased and hacked to death by the fifty thousand Immortal Martial Legion.
The artillery fire extended forward along the escape route, Sword Qi blocked both wings from the firmament, and the Heavy Armor Army pushed the battlefield toward the borders of the three divine kingdoms.
Carlo stood on the soon-to-collapse sea altar, his four arms waving bone staffs, roaring via Divine Thought toward Baer and Tuya.
"Hold your ground! Do not let the Human Race separate us! Once the three divine kingdoms are disconnected, no one need think of leaving alive!"
Baer looked back at the corpses of the Crab Soldiers scattered everywhere, without responding to Carlo. His six arms had already raised his warhammer to his chest.
Tuya stopped at the boundary of the poisonous sea, his remaining three bone spurs connecting to the Origin of the divine kingdom, and the poisonous fog behind him began to gather toward the center.
The three alien deities watched their slaughtered subjects, their divine cores trembling frantically, and finally could no longer hold back.
