The Tianlong warriors inside the formation were also stunned. What on earth was happening? How did the commander attract so many demon beasts?
In fact, without Ye Lingfeng giving orders, with so many beasts attacking, they had already entered battle mode.
"Boom boom boom...
Divine light trembled within the formation, and arrows shot out rapidly. The thunderous cannon fire shot toward the beasts behind Ye Lingfeng.
In an instant, a volley of arrows was unleashed, roaring as they arrived. The beasts charging ahead were all killed, their massive corpses tumbling forward.
"Not good, there are too many demon beasts. We can't hit the formation." The faces of the Tianlong warriors inside the city changed.
Even if all the equipment was used, the impact was too fierce to effectively stop the beasts from advancing.
These beasts ran so fast that they charged forward. Even if killed, their bodies rolled forward thousands of miles, blocking many attacks. The beasts behind them, pushing through the corpses of the beasts ahead, sprinted wildly.
The greatest fear in fierce battles with demon beasts is encountering their charge, so once the beasts launch a charge, you must quickly interrupt them.
But everything happened too suddenly today, and the beasts were closely chasing Ye Lingfeng. Although there were underground blast arrays to disrupt the beasts' charge, if they detonated, even Ye Lingfeng would be blown up, and the war chariot could be crippled by the blast.
But with that hesitation, the beasts had already rushed close. Ye Lingfeng's chariot, as soon as it entered the position, immediately shouted, "Detonate all the isolation mines!" "
Boom boom boom boom boom..."
Bursts of explosions erupted, the earth exploded, endless thunder unleashed, and flames intertwined, sending the demon beast army flying wildly through the air.
But after more than a dozen explosions, there was no more life. For a moment, Ye Lingfeng's face darkened as he cursed, "What are you hesitating for? Detonate them all!" "
Commander, this is the base of the Seventh Heavenly Dragon Legion, not ours. There are only sixteen isolation mines here, and they've all been detonated." The soldier said with a look of grievance.
In the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion, there were over three hundred such barrier bolts. If all were detonated, these demon beasts would be wiped out in an instant.
But Ye Lingfeng forgot that this was not his base; they had only come to temporarily set up their post.
"Enough talk, focus all on defense. We can't let them in." Ye Lingfeng's face turned from black to green with anger as he gritted his teeth and roared.
Ye Lingfeng personally took action, his long sword emerging from his body, summoning a strange phenomenon, unleashing his full power and leading everyone at the front.
It must be said, Ye Lingfeng was extremely formidable. His armor glowed, enveloping his entire body. His long sword was like a rainbow; with each strike, a powerful beast would surely be slain.
Although Long Chen really disliked this guy, he had to admit that he was extremely formidable.
Ye Lingfeng led a group of strong warriors at the front, while arrow towers, war chariots, divine crossbows, and dragon cannons roared in the rear, divine lights shot forth, and every wave of beasts charging forward was slain in batches.
Long Chen and Shen Chengfeng hid at a distance, watching the incredibly brave Third Heavenly Dragon Legion. Shen Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh, "The strength of the Third Heavenly Dragon Army is far superior to ours." If
it were the Eighth Celestial Dragon Legion, facing such a terrifying charge, running away would be the only option. If they ran too slowly, the entire force would be wiped out.
"Rather than just strength, it's more accurate to say it's financial power. These people all built their money with money, but they have a fatal flaw." Long Chen shook his head.
"What fatal flaw?" Shen Chengfeng asked anxiously.
"They were too arrogant, thinking that with a strong outfit, they could act recklessly.
Judging by their movements, their coordination was quite clumsy, meaning their previous fighting style was mostly dominate.
Simply put, it's a group of adults hitting children who don't know how to cooperate at all, and of course, they don't need to cooperate.
In fact, their current attacks looked incredibly sharp, but in reality, they were just a barrage of wildfire, with no control over the battlefield's rhythm. Just watch—within half an incense stick's time, the city would surely be breached. Long Chen said with utmost confidence.
"No way, I think they should be able to win, especially since their equipment is so formidable." Shen Chengfeng asked in confusion.
Long Chen chuckled and pointed to a formation disk nearby. When Shen Chengfeng saw the image on the disk, his eyes nearly popped out.
"This has attracted the demon beasts from the three surrounding areas as well." Shen Chengfeng cried out in surprise.
On this formation disk, it was clear that countless demon beasts were rushing toward them.
The number of demon beasts was several times that of these siege beasts. Shen Chengfeng's voice trembled slightly as he said,
"Long Chen, have we gone too far? If the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion is wiped out, we'll be ...."
Seeing so many demon beasts rushing over, Shen Chengfeng grew a bit afraid. Long Chen was trying to trap Ye Lingfeng to death. If Ye Lingfeng died, it would already be a huge matter. If the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion here were destroyed, it would be a disaster.
"Don't worry, everything is under control." Long Chen chuckled and said,
"A fierce battle here will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding demon beasts. They realize the city is about to fall and will definitely give their full support to this side."
That's exactly why we have some profit to make money. I have a habit: if I don't open for three years, I have to eat for three years. The meat is small, hehe, and if it's served to my mouth, I can't even be bothered to bite. Long Chen chuckled.
"Boom boom boom... The
Third Heavenly Dragon Legion fought fiercely with all their might. When the beast reinforcements arrived, the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion indeed couldn't hold on any longer and began to show signs of collapse.
Ye Lingfeng roared in fury, unleashing his full power, but no matter how strong he was alone, he couldn't hold the entire position. He could hold one area tightly, but no one else could hold out.
"Commander, this can't go on. We have to retreat." A deputy commander shouted loudly at Ye Lingfeng.
The beasts surged forward like a tide, approaching the position. If they didn't consider retreating now, once surrounded, it would truly be doomed.
Because the ancient battlefield was complex, it was impossible to build long-distance spatial passages. Even if they called for help now, it would be too late.
Besides, the closest to them was the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion, whose combat power was weak and of no help.
Even if the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion could help, they wouldn't come. Ye Lingfeng knew this was clearly Long Chen setting them up.
"First, arrange for the large siege engines to retreat. The arrow tower will unleash its full power, and use the strongest formation for support. Don't worry about the tower's lifespan." Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth and gave the order directly.
The arrow tower is a fixed weapon and cannot be taken away. If the position falls, the tower will inevitably be smashed by the demon beasts.
Under Ye Lingfeng's command, the runes on the arrow tower began to burn. Divine arrows carrying terrifying pressure shot out, piercing through the sky, their power more than doubled compared to before.
Dozens of arrow towers fired wildly, those who had already closed inThe demon beasts were actually forced to retreat far away.
"These arrow towers are basically useless. They've burned the runes, burning all the divinity on them, and they're not even worth recycling anymore." Shen Chengfeng watched the arrow tower burn, feeling a bit pained as he spoke.
For the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion, every arrow tower was their lifeline. Now, seeing Ye Lingfeng burn more than sixty arrow towers, he felt a bit uneasy.
"Didn't they say you don't feel bad about breaking someone else's child?" Long Chen said with a smile.
"The key is, our family is short of kids." Shen Chengfeng shrugged, his face full of bitterness.
"Alright, as long as we finish this round, I guarantee your Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion will have a full wallet." Long Chen patted Shen Chengfeng on the shoulder to comfort him. Shen Chengfeng was really terrified of poverty, yet he actually felt sorry for others.
"Boom!"
The arrow towers fired rapidly, and suddenly one of them exploded with a thunderous crash, then began to slowly collapse, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground.
After the runes burned, the divine material turned into ordinary iron, which could no longer bear the immense weight and began to collapse.
After the first arrow collapsed, the other arrow towers also began to die and collapsed one after another.
However, they also completed their mission, buying precious time for the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion. All other mobile siege engines on the battlefield were relocated.
"Retreat!"
The arrow collapsed. There was no power left to stop the beasts roaring like a tide. Ye Lingfeng shouted loudly, and together with the last group of strong warriors, they flew onto three war chariots and sped away.
That chariot was a fortress in the air, with powerful attack power, terrifying defense, and extremely fast movement. It was a treasure Shen Chengfeng and the others had dreamed of.
With these three chariots, they could retreat safely without looking too disheveled. This was what Long Chen meant: having money is also a form of strength.
With the position breached, the beasts seemed to have won a victory, roaring in unison, their voices shaking like a tsunami.
The demon beasts that seized the position frantically destroyed the buildings on the battlefield, leveling it almost instantly.
The beasts roared and continued to gallop forward, frantically chasing after Ye Lingfeng, determined not to stop until they were all killed.
As Ye Lingfeng and the others sped forward, the space ahead grew increasingly narrow, with huge spatial rifts on both sides, like the mouth of a demon, making people afraid to approach.
The beasts sped forward, and after half an incense stick's time, another position appeared ahead—this was the second line of defense for the Seventh Heavenly Dragon Legion.
After retreating into the second line of defense, Ye Lingfeng jumped off the chariot, looked at the charging beasts, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he waved his hand.
"Boom boom boom...
Suddenly, beneath the earth, explosions erupted one after another. Beneath this patch of earth, something unknown was buried. When the earth shattered, endless thick smoke was released.
When the beasts saw the thick smoke, they let out terrified screams and fled in panic. But behind them, endless smoke rose as well. For a moment, the beasts were thrown into chaos, all trying to flee in panic.
But some demon beasts didn't run far before collapsing to the ground, seemingly exhausted. This was actually a trap.
"Silly demon clan, today you'll use your corpses to make up for our losses. Brothers, ... for me," Ye Lingfeng was about to give the order when a series of explosions erupted from the beast horde ahead. Blazing lights covered the sky, and anyone who saw the light felt a sharp pain in their eyes and couldn't see anything clearly.
A voice they hated came from their ears: "Brothers of the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion, don't be afraid. Our Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion has come to rescue you. Brothers, grab ... for me." Oh, wait, it's killing me! "
