Chapter 2212: Strategic Withdrawal to the Fortress!

Stronger techniques consumed more energy, and wearing the Samsara Battle Armor consumed Destiny Energy with every moment. Although Wang Chong didn’t need to worry about Destiny Energy for the time being, he had to find a way to actually deal with Genesis Supreme, as this couldn’t go on forever.

“So even gods know how to run? Genesis Supreme, you’re not afraid of this king, are you?!”

Wang Chong sneered as his mental waves swept out.

The world was silent, but soon, a cold grunt came out of the void.

Wang Chong coldly laughed, knowing that he had successfully provoked Genesis Supreme.

The Celestial God Organization had always styled themselves as gods. Even if he knew that it was intentional, Genesis Supreme still couldn’t help himself!

Bang!

Ripples appeared in the air as Halos of Spacetime centered on Wang Chong began to expand.

Wang Chong swiftly disappeared into a spacetime passage, but before leaving, he glanced at the ground and subtly nodded.

Zhangchou Jianqiong had mounted his entire army to ensure that it could arrive at the fortress in time. The entry of the Wushang Cavalry had also been somewhat effective at hampering the Yeluohe’s advance.

As for Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi and Sassanid Great General Bahram, they were following the original plan and either retreating or pushing through the battlefield. Meanwhile, the soldiers with the lowest mobility—the infantry, spearmen, axemen, and master archers—were all withdrawing toward the fortress.

The battle had basically gone exactly according to the simulations he had played out with Wang Zhongsi and the others.

The battle had dragged on for some time. The Great Tang had established a fortress in the northeast, but the cold wave was coming. It had already engulfed the Turkic steppe and was pushing into the interior.

Without pastures, the countries to the north would not be able to pass the winter. Time was on the Great Tang’s side.

This was why the alliance army was so anxious to attack.

I just need to think of a way to stop Genesis Supreme!

Wang Chong swiftly made up his mind.

Genesis Supreme was simply too powerful. None of the Great Generals could stop him, whether Wang Zhongsi, Bahram, Abusi, or Zhang Shougui. They wouldn’t even be able to last a single blow.

Even the nearly one million soldiers around the fortress would simply be a target of his torture.

So long as Genesis Supreme were taken care of, the result of this war would become clear.

……

Boomboomboom!

The ballistae thundered, their bolts flying across the battlefield. The Wushang Cavalry and the defensively formidable heavy infantry were both working to deal with the Yeluohe.

In this battle, the most outstanding performance came from the giant ballistae and the King Ape.

Not every bolt fired from the giant ballistae could be blocked, particularly in the middle of such an intense battle. That sort of coordination that the Yeluohe had displayed at first was no longer so easy.

Roooar!

Meanwhile, the King Ape was locked in fierce battle with the Yeluohe leader.

This last surviving Behemoth of the war of the northwest had singlehandedly drawn over the Yeluohe leader and a large number of Yeluohe cavalry. To contend with the King Ape and its enormous strength, the Yeluohe leader needed to borrow power from the other Yeluohe. This reduced the Yeluohe numbers on other parts of the battlefield, reducing the pressure on the Tang army.

Thump! Thump! Thump! The giant metal cudgel smashed down again and again, and even though it could do nothing to the formidable Yeluohe leader, the explosive shockwaves managed to strike the other Yeluohe, causing them to explode in mid-air.

“Behemoth Slayers, move out!”

On this battlefield that was dominated by the Yeluohe, another group of soldiers displayed an outstanding performance.

These men were all burly and stalwart figures, and they bulldozed their way through the battlefield. The Behemoth Slayers were all equipped with thick armor and giant swords. Though few in number, they were extremely strong.

Their heavy swords constantly swung down, each time cleaving through four or five Yeluohe.

These Yeluohe were far too bizarre. Even the Behemoth Slayers began to show thin layers of frost on their arms and shoulders as they fought.

This extremely cold energy was even seeping into their meridians.

But at this moment, no one retreated.
