The reinforcements had also arrived at this point, but they didn't join the troops that were already gathered here. Instead, they were prepared to subst.i.tute any of the soldiers here at any time.

It was no coincidence that the two divisions of the Blood G.o.d Legion had managed to successfully guard the abyssal pa.s.sageway for over 6,000 years; regardless of what types of changes or dangers they encountered, they were always able to react very quickly, and just that alone set them apart from most other legions.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face, and he could sense that his own blood was beginning to boil in the heat of battle.

What man didn't dream of dominating the battlefield and experiencing the exhilaration of battle?

This was the first time that Tang Wulin had ever stepped onto an official battlefield, and it was also his first time facing a battle of such a large scale. There were close to 2,000 people in the pa.s.sageway on their side.

Tang Wulin had asked Jiang Wuyue about this; if all 36 pa.s.sageways were guarded by close to 2,000 troops, then there weren't even enough soldiers in the entire legion to accommodate this! After all, they only had around 15,000 troops that were available for battle, and that would only be enough to guard seven pa.s.sageways.

In response, Jiang Wuyue had explained to him that not all of the pa.s.sageways were guarded by the same number of troops. It wasn't that easy for the abyssal creatures to unleash an abyssal tide, and when abyssal tides struck, only three of the 36 pa.s.sageways would be affected at most.

As such, not all of the pa.s.sageways had to be so heavily guarded, and there were protective barriers in all of the pa.s.sageways anyway.

If the abyssal tide really were to appear in more pa.s.sageways, then the defenses set up by the Blood G.o.d Heart would be to keep it at bay, affording the legion enough time to transfer their troops back and forth between the pa.s.sageways.

At the same time, the legion had some backup forces, as well as some special soul weapons that specifically targeted abyssal creatures. They'd been guarding this place without fail for several millennia, so they naturally had their ways.

After hearing this explanation, Tang Wulin decided to observe everything for himself rather than asking further questions.

Only after a sustained a.s.sault lasting for close to two hours did the destructive energy gradually abate. However, Tang Wulin could see that countless abyssal creatures had already filled the exit of the cave, and they'd immediately rush in as soon as the light barrier was lifted.

The abyssal creatures were so horrifying in appearance that a normal person would most likely faint from horror at the very sight of them.

”Prepare for battle!” Jiang Wuyue yelled as light flashed from his body, and his suit of battle armor was released. A pair of wings spread open on his back, indicating that this was a suit of two-word battle armor.

His suit of battle was entirely black in color without any lavish patterns inscribed on its surface, but it was extremely thick and heavy, which perfectly complemented the forte of the Tyrant Dragon; pure strength!

The mechas from the melee combat battalion all took a step forward and raised the giant s.h.i.+elds in their hands.

Every mecha was holding a ma.s.sive s.h.i.+eld that was around 15 meters tall, which was able to defend all of them.

All they had to do was keep the enemies' attacks at bay, and they'd already be completing an important mission; the long-range attacking soldiers in the rear were going to be the ones doing the majority of the damage.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a level three abyssal tide, there wouldn't have had to be so many troops deployed to the scene.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel rather amused by how ridiculous his own luck was. Setting aside the fact that a level three abyssal tide only took place once every several decades, even if the abyssal tide were to affect three of the 36 main caves, he'd only have a one in 12 chance of encountering it. The fact that all of the stars had aligned to make this happen on his first trip into the abyss left him feeling quite speechless.

Right at this moment, all of the destructive energy finally vanished, and an electronic voice sounded as a result. ”The Blood G.o.d Heart barrier will now be withdrawn. Everyone, prepare for battle.”

Long Yuxue rose up into the air to search for Tang Wulin, only to discover that he was standing beside Jiang Wuyue. Her brows furrowed slightly, but her professionalism as a soldier immediately shone through as she joined the long-range attacking units without any hesitation in preparation for the upcoming battle.

The blue light gradually began to fade, and the loud cries coming from the abyssal creatures had become quite clearly audible.

”Attack!” A commander's voice rang out from the rear, and several hundred b.a.l.l.s of light immediately shot forth at once, flying through the air in parabolic trajectories, aimed at the opening of the cave with unerring accuracy.

The Blood G.o.d Heart protective barrier vanished at exactly this moment, and the abyssal creatures surged forth in a frenzy.

”Howl!” A sharp howl erupted, and all of the hearts of the Blood G.o.d Legion soldiers shuddered in response as their eyes began to glaze over. Thankfully, a white light barrier appeared right at this moment to cut off that sound,
