Chapter 1833: The High Priests Psychic Seal! (2/2)
This was much stronger than what the intelligence reports had said.
”Release!”
As the Behemoths fell into chaos, Su Hanshan seized the moment to strike.
Boomboomboom!
Another wave of giant ballista bolts howled through the air and struck those tenacious creatures.
Awooooo!
Another six or seven Behemoths howled as they were brought down by the barrage.
At least nine Behemoths had been killed by now. Nine of these monsters at the Battle of Talas would have long ago inflicted enormous damage on the Tang army.
But this time, not a single one had managed to reach the defense line, let alone damage it.
Su Hanshan waved his sword as he firmly ordered, ”Ballista corps, target the areas being struck by the giant ballistae. Fire!”
Bang!
The ballistae creaked and shuddered, and then tens of thousands of ballista bolts flew through the air and converged on a single Behemoth.
These ballista bolts were far weaker than those fired by the giant ballistae, but many ants could bite an elephant to death, and the sheer number proved to have a cumulative effect.
Most importantly, Su Hanshan had trained the ballista soldiers extremely well. Such was their accuracy that all the ballista bolts struck the breaks in the armor of the Behemoths, rendering the armor useless. As the ballista bolts thudded into the wounds of the Behemoths, their condition continued to worsen.
Awooooo!
With plaintive howls, four or five more heavily injured Behemoths breathed their last and crashed to the earth.
”Damn it!”
The Arab Governors, Deputy Governors, and soldiers all paled at this sight.
The Behemoth Army was their strongest force and their best weapon for breaking the several hundred li of defensive fortifications. But before the Behemoths had even reached the defense line, ten-some had been killed, with a significant number badly injured. This situation was simply unbelievable.
After all, these Behemoths were encased in armor that had been reinforced with countless inscriptions and formations. But none it had been of any use.
Buzz!
In the distance, another powerful wave of Psychic Energy rippled out from the Arab side to calm the Behemoths.
But before this Psychic Energy could soothe the Behemoths, a powerful wave of Psychic Energy rose from the Great Tang side and slammed into the High Priest's Psychic Energy.
Boom! The mental world shuddered and swayed, those two powerful streams of Psychic Energy obliterating each other.
”Your opponent is me!”
Wang Chong's voice resounded in the High Priest's mind.
The two entered a stalemate. As he stared at the distant Wang Chong, Psychic Energy soaring to the heavens while his body was like a spear thrust into the earth, the High Priest grimaced.
But his eyes quickly focused, and he slammed his staff into the ground.
Bang!
With a heavy thud, a powerful mental wave rippled out from the High Priest's staff, penetrating through the Behemoth and into the earth.
Before Wang Chong could react, this mental wave entered the bodies of the five Behemoths in front.
Roooar!
With furious roars, those Behemoths suddenly recovered their senses and broke free from the others to charge at the defense line.
”Not good!”
In alarm, Wang Chong partitioned off some of his Psychic Energy to deal with those Behemoths. But this time, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy attack was completely ineffective, and the Behemoths continued to charge.
”It's pointless! This is a unique beast taming spell mixed with a Psychic Seal. For at least six seconds, they will be completely immune to your mental attacks.”
The High Priest's voice resounded in Wang Chong's mental domain.
As the most mysterious existence of Arabia, someone who had lived for countless years, the High Priest knew numerous ancient psychic techniques, one of which he had just used.
