Wang Chong quietly mused to himself. It was not on a whim that he had personally written a letter to Zhang Shougui for soldiers despite the grudges between the two. Zhang Shougui was a master of acting clumsy, but Wang Chong would not allow him to keep acting.

Rumble! In the distance, in a churning cloud of dust, the Fearless Army marched onto the battlefield. One thousand feet, five hundred feet, three hundred feet…

”Move out!”

With an earthshaking bellow, Wang Chong ordered the four thousand soldiers of the Roaring Tiger Army to set forth and enter the battle.

The aura rising from their bodies was about the same as the Divine Martial Army's or the Iron Wall Army's. Even Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but feel a little worried as this army fearlessly marched into the battlefield, but Wang Chong remained unperturbed and incomparably calm.

Boom!

Suddenly, the vast sea of Arab cavalry parted in a rumbling of horse hooves. Clang! In a cold flash of light, two Arabian scimitars parted and fell to the sides as an Arab warrior charged forward and plunged into the battlefield like a storm.

Raaaa! This soldier of the Fearless Army, wearing the symbol of a pitch-black demon god on his left shoulder, lunged at a soldier of the Divine Martial Army. Clang! The latter immediately raised his sword to block the scimitar, but the immense power in this scimitar sent the Divine Martial Army soldier flying backward more than one hundred feet.

Besides that, the scimitar also flitted across the soldier's body. Swish! His armor split open and blood sprinkled the sky.

Buzz!

After sending the Divine Martial Army soldier flying, the stalwart Fearless Army soldier turned his head and lunged at a nearby Divine Prison Army soldier. This soldier showed no sign of emotion in his eyes as he raised his sword and stabbed at the Fearless Army soldier.

Clang! The close-combat scimitar at the Fearless Army soldier's waist suddenly slid forward and barely managed to stop this simple and yet extremely fierce attack of the Divine Prison Army soldier.

Bang! The scimitars flashed as they revealed their full power. Before the Divine Prison Army soldier had time to retreat, a bloody light flashed across his left shoulder and his arm plopped to the ground.

This was actually the first time in this first battle of the Divine Prison Army where one of its soldiers was the lesser and had an arm cut off.

”The Divine Prison Army doesn't have enough defensive capability!”

Behind the first defense line, Gao Xianzhi's brow rose as he turned to Wang Chong, a hint of gloom flitting through his eyes. The Divine Prison Army had an inconceivable offensive power. In terms of pure lethality, not even the Iron Wall Army or the Divine Martial Army could compare to it.

But the flaw of the Divine Prison Army was also very obvious. Although these soldiers had impressive offensive power, their defenses were extremely fragile. In other words, Wang Chong had sacrificed their defense for their inconceivable killing power.

There wasn't a problem with this weakness if one's opponent was on a similar level of strength or attacked slower, but once one encountered an opponent with the same level of speed, like the Fearless Army, with two incredibly sharp scimitars, one for attack and one for defense…

Not only would the Divine Prison Army soldiers not be able to exhibit their lethal killing power, the fact that their attacks had been blocked would force them into an extremely passive position.

Clang! Clang!

Upon seeing that the Divine Prison Army soldier had had his arm cut off, two of his fellow soldiers immediately attacked with their own swords, their weapons as fast as lightning bolts. This Fearless Army soldier immediately had his hands full with fending off these attacks, but he showed no signs of backing down versus these two Divine Prison Army soldiers.

The Fearless Army soldier was able to rely on his own ferocity and astonishing fighting power to simultaneously block the attacks of two Divine Prison Army soldiers.

This sight left countless Tang soldiers stunned and dazed.

”What formidable fighting power!”

Even Li Siye was deeply stunned. This army that had appeared out of nowhere seemed to have been born for the sake of killing. Their techniques were sharp and vicious. Even just watching from a distance struck fear into the hearts of spectators, much less actually fighting these people.

The situation instantly turned against the Divine Martial Army and Divine Prison Army, but Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, and Cheng Qianli did nothing.

In the distance, Qutaybah, Abu Muslim, Osman, and the others also watched. The elite Great Generals of both sides maintained their delicate balance.

Just when the four thousand soldiers of the Fearless Army were about to completely alter the course of the battle, the fifth elite force of the Great Tang finally stepped onto the stage.
