416: Raiders

Above the Flying Bird Capital on the island of Japan, dark clouds suddenly gathered. A massive spaceship abruptly appeared in the sky. Immediately following this, dozens of huge teleportation arrays appeared all around. Bald monks holding ring blades or Magic Treasures, tonsured monks, and various bizarre monk soldiers filled half the sky.

To the northeast outside the Flying Bird Capital, in a huge camp, several warriors wearing golden saint cloth suddenly appeared. They looked up at the sky, frowning slightly.

This camp seemed even more prosperous than the entire Flying Bird Capital, and the houses were built more modernly. Not only were the foreign powerhouses and warriors living here, but many Japanese people lived here as well. Beside this huge camp lay vast fields of crops and fruit trees; the Pinpo fruits—that is, Red Fuji apples—that they paid as tribute to the Great Tang were produced here.

"The Great Leader has entered the palace and hasn't come out yet. I heard that outsiders have invaded!"

Aspros, wearing the Gemini Saint Cloth, said in a deep voice, "We must prepare early... for a battle with those who came from the sky!"

"Indeed..." The man wearing the Aries Saint Cloth slowly looked around at the sky and said in a deep voice, "We are surrounded by enemies... Should we wait for the Pope's order, or wait for Darwin to return?"

"We can't wait. They have already launched an attack... Darwin is still seriously injured and must have been entangled by the enemies. We... must send out troops!"

As he spoke, the red-haired young man wearing the Libra Saint Cloth said in a deep voice, "Strike first to gain the advantage. If we wait for the enemy to attack, it will be too late!"

"Alright, then let's do it. Prepare the artillery..."

Aspros waved his hand, and a curtain of light instantly flashed over the entire camp. Immediately after, fortresses rose from the ground, and countless cannon muzzles suddenly appeared above the fortresses, aiming at the invading enemies and opening fire.

These cannons seemed to use some peculiar propulsion method to accelerate ordinary spherical shells to an unimaginable speed, and the impact and explosive power also became much stronger.

However, when these shells flew into mid-air and reached the enemies, they did not produce much effect. Whether it was that spaceship or those strange monks, they all possessed powerful defensive capabilities. Individual defensive shields opened up, isolating the explosions a meter away.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

It was as if brilliant fireworks were blooming in the sky, resounding throughout the wilderness. People in the city looked up one after another, and suddenly became panicked. They realized that these people from the sky were not friendly; they were here to wage war.

The whole city was in chaos. This scene was exactly seen by Darwin, who was exiting the palace. His heart sank suddenly: "They came so fast. It's only been four days, and they are already confident enough to deal with me?"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned into a ray of light, wanting to fly back to take command, but a chubby figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was none other than the Cloth Sack Arhat. That sack was like a dark cloud, actually covering the ray of light from above.

Darwin felt a chill in his heart and pointed a finger at the cloth sack. The front of the sack trembled, and then it instantly turned into countless threads of cloth, drifting slowly downward.

"Oh, devolved? So your Law can actually act on Magic Treasure?" The Cloth Sack Arhat said in shock.

"Magic Treasure has spiritual awareness, so naturally it has a soul. That counts as life!" Darwin left only this sentence and wanted to escape, but his legs suddenly tightened, already bound by something. Before he could turn around, a burly figure directly in front of him had already punched him in the chest, smashing him heavily to the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse that it was actually the eyebrows of the Long Eyebrow Arhat, tightly binding his legs, and the one attacking from the front was none other than the Arhat Who Subdues Tigers.

Roar!

"Tiger Roar Thunder Fist!"

Boom!

A thunderbolt from mid-air struck Darwin heavily, knocking him unconscious...

On the other side, with the sound of artillery fire, the battle finally began.

Tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals suddenly rushed out of the camp, each wearing white battle armor, holding firearm-type weapons in their hands, with long knives hanging from their waists, and launched an attack on the monk soldiers in the sky.

"Kill!" The monk soldiers let out a shout, and ten thousand people instantly collided with ten thousand people in mid-air, fighting each other.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You look, you look, although these monk soldiers of the Western World have much stronger combat effectiveness than these modified Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, firstly, they have no long-range weapons in their hands, and secondly, they have no organization or discipline. If they fight like this, they will inevitably be defeated!" Pigsy stood on the bridge of Zun Zun, gnawing on a chicken leg, looking at the scene in front of him, and pointing out.

"The Marshal has a Wisdom Eye, no wonder the Holy Monk sent you to command!" Nezha laughed, "I have always been a vanguard on the battlefield before, and have never commanded a battle... Hmm, but you are really accurate in your observation. Look, the trend of defeat has appeared!"

Indeed, as the two said, the monk soldiers were very strong in combat, but they were completely not the opponents of these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Although their magic power seemed much stronger than these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they were often beaten into a sorry state by the enemy's laser guns from tens of meters away. Although their defenses seemed very strong, basically the opponent's weapons could break their defenses in three shots. In this way, they could only flee in embarrassment. The whole scene was suddenly in chaos. Although they did not suffer too many casualties due to their agile movements and powerful magic power, once their magic power was exhausted, they would have no place to be buried. But these modified Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had weapons in their hands that seemed endless, maintaining a state of continuous fire without any signs of exhaustion.

"Marshal Tianpeng, should we order an attack now!" Nezha said, unable to bear it, "These are allies after all! And aren't you also a Bodhisattva who has been ordained?"

Pigsy said disdainfully: "It's good to let these guys suffer a little, so they don't always act high and mighty, pretending to be something..."

Nezha nodded: "Hmm, that makes sense. We should let these bald donkeys learn a lesson... Uh, sorry, I didn't mean you, and I didn't mean the Holy Monk... I... forget it, think whatever you want..."

Pigsy laughed: "The Third Prince is straightforward. I won't get angry. Anyway, I am a Pig Head, not a bald head... Hmm, it's about time. Order General Xue Rengui to get ready for battle, prepare to attack..."

A few seconds later, a curtain of light suddenly appeared under the spaceship, and the three thousand elites of the Great Tang, led by General Xue Rengui, finally appeared on the battlefield!
