217: Chapter 217 Then Let's Fight

Beyond the shock lay deep awe and a sliver of relief. Fortunately, he was his "ally" rather than his enemy.

As the army rolled southward like a torrent bursting through a dam, the bustling Lin Tian City was suddenly plunged into an extreme, heart-palpitating silence.

Only the giant crossbows on the city walls slowly adjusted their angles, while the gazes of the remaining soldiers followed the receding dust clouds.

At this moment, Gos rode on the back of a Thunder Giant Bear Beast King as majestic as a small mountain, whispering with Gru, whose face still remained somewhat pale, beside him.

The map was spread out, and Gos's thick fingers traced across it.

"That human commander who knows the legion skill, leave him to me."

Gos's voice was steady, filled with the confidence of one who had experienced a hundred battles. "My 'Wasteland Roar' Battle Soul is just right to test his mettle."

"The fact that he could suppress you last time was merely due to his advantage in Battle Soul Rank and troop numbers. This time, our army is several times larger, and we have brought out all our elites; he won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Gru nodded and added: "We need to be wary of the Archer with the highest strength. She is extremely fast, and her arrows are tricky..."

"No matter. Our army also has elite Shamans and shield-bearing guards specifically meant to counter long-range attacks."

Gos waved his hand, his eyes flashing with a calculating light.

"In this battle, the advantage is ours. Our troop strength, generals, and morale all crush the enemy. I truly cannot think of any reason why we would lose."

He patted Gru on the shoulder.

"Gru, this battle is also your time for redemption. Follow me closely and watch how I crush this group of humans who are putting on airs."

With their plans settled, the two felt victory was within their grasp.

Three million against "two million," plus him, a battle-hardened diamond rank 6-star Battle Soul commander—no matter how you looked at it, this was a situation ready to be steamrolled.

At high noon, on a vast plain about three hundred kilometers from Lin Tian City.

Two massive legions, unprecedented in scale for this region, collided like two inevitable steel torrents, finally meeting with a roar on this nameless wilderness!

Banners fluttered in the wind, and dust filled the sky.

The two sides arrayed their forces several miles apart, and a murderous silence instantly enveloped the world, as if even the wind had stopped blowing.

Gos and Gru focused their vision, looking toward the human army formation opposite them.

With this look, the composure and certainty on their faces instantly froze, then turned into unbelievable horror!

Troop strength... more than two million?

Looking at that overwhelming, dense army formation that almost filled the entire field of vision, the troop strength was definitely more than double!

Even more terrifying was the overall Aura emanating from the enemy formation, which was far more refined, heavy, and filled with towering Evil Qi than when they last encountered them!

And the energy fluctuations emitted by those few figures at the front of the enemy line made Gru exclaim in shock:

"diamond rank 5-star? That Archer, and that Golden Armored Spearman... how could they improve so quickly!"

During their last engagement, the enemy clearly hadn't even touched the threshold of diamond rank!

A terrifying thought struck Gru's mind like lightning. He turned his head sharply to look at Gos, his voice trembling:

"Lord Gos! They... they are very likely Otherworld Lords! Only those damned Otherworld Lords can grow stronger so freakishly fast through constant slaughter!"

"There is no movement elsewhere in the Purple Moon Dynasty, yet such a massive army has appeared out of thin air here... That explains it!"

Gos's pupils constricted. As a veteran general of the kingdom, he naturally knew of the existence of "Otherworld Lords."

He just never expected that he would be facing such a "monster"!

To be able to pull together an army of ten million in such a short time—how terrifying must their talent and resources be?

"This child... must not be allowed to live!"

Gos realized in an instant, and the murderous intent in his heart surged.

Fortunately, he had led the expedition himself today; if it had been anyone else, I fear...

However, the arrow was already on the string, and it had to be loosed!

With several miles of distance and ten million troops facing off, if they retreated now, the army's morale would surely collapse, and they would instead suffer a devastating pursuit.

When meeting on a narrow road, there is only one option: fight!

Gos took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the raging waves in his heart, and channeled his energy. His voice, like rolling thunder, carried toward Lin Tian, who was heavily guarded on the opposite side:

"I never thought Your Excellency would be an Otherworld Lord! Our Minotaur Kingdom has certainly been deceived by you!"

Lin Tian had already seen the reality of the situation on the other side through his Detection Spell.

Two diamond ranks, one diamond rank 6-star, whose Aura was as deep and majestic as a mountain—that must be the main commander;

The other was a diamond rank 1-star, the defeated Gru.

Hearing Gos's shout, Lin Tian, riding on the back of Chi Yan, leisurely picked his ear, his voice carrying a hint of mockery as he replied clearly:

"Only realizing it now? Isn't that a bit late? To be honest, your Minotaur Kingdom isn't much. I kill one batch, and another comes, just like chives—they can never be fully cut, all rushing to deliver experience..."

"Oh no, is it delivering death?"

"Arrogant!"

Gos was furious, completely enraged by Lin Tian's contemptuous attitude.

"You killed hundreds of thousands of my sons. Today, I will make you pay for your blood debt! All troops, listen to my command: attack formation, crush them!"

"ROAR!!!"

The Minotaur army let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth, their heavy footsteps beginning to move like mountains slowly starting to shift.

"Good!"

Lin Tian's eyes turned cold. With no more wasted words, he waved his hand and ordered:

"According to the plan, attack!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Mage corps, cover!"

The battle erupted with a roar amidst the shouts and cries of the generals on both sides!

From the human army formation, a sky-covering rain of arrows mixed with destructive fire-attribute Spells, like a storm of steel and elements, poured down upon the Minotaur army formation first!

The Minotaur vanguard raised their giant shields, and the Shamans chanted, raising an earthy-yellow protective light screen.

But under such dense firepower, the light screen rippled violently, and the vanguard formation still suffered casualties and chaos.

Almost simultaneously with the long-range firepower coverage.

"Crimson Sun personnel, War Soul Condensation!!!"

Lin Feng, positioned at the vanguard, let out a roar that seemed to tear the heavens apart!

This time, his Intermediate Mythical quality and diamond rank 2-star level exploded with full force. Behind him, over five hundred thousand of the most elite Golden Armored Spearman and Heavy Armored Spearman had their lifeblood connected, and their Battle Intent soared to the heavens!

"RUMBLE!!!"

An unprecedented Red Sun War God phantom, nearly a thousand meters tall, its entire body burning with a scorching white light tinged with dark golden flowing light, appeared above the battlefield, standing between heaven and earth!

The phantom was more solidified, its face as clear as a god's. The giant flame spear in its hand seemed capable of piercing the firmament, and the pressure it emitted caused space itself to distort and tremble, its energy level reaching Saint-Grade 1-star!

"What?"

Gos's expression changed in horror. The enemy's Battle Soul was far more powerful than described in the intelligence reports!

But he was also a veteran general of a hundred battles; though shocked, he did not panic, and roared:

"Warriors of the wasteland, hear my command: Wasteland Roar, appear!"

"ROAR!!!"

A Minotaur Battle Soul phantom, over seven hundred meters tall, formed from the phantoms of countless Minotaur warriors, holding a giant totem battle axe, and exuding a wild and unyielding Battle Intent, also rose from the ground!
