In the center of the army, Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi was also keeping a close watch on the front.
“Pass on my order! Mobilize the Giant Army!” Wang Zhongsi suddenly declared.
Humans had no path of retreat!
While some decisions were cruel, they were necessary. On this battlefield, there was no difference between the noble and lowly. Everyone had their duty and role that they had to play to the end, and some sacrifices were unavoidable.
However, the soldiers on the front line were clearly not enough to deal with the seemingly endless torrent of the Celestial Army.
“Yes!”
A messenger soldier sighed in relief as he turned around and rode away.
Only a few moments later…
Roooar!
With heaven-shaking roars, a metallic clattering came from the rear. In the back of the human army stood rows of giant door-shaped machines, each standing two hundred feet tall. Inside these metal doors were giants, each one a hundred feet tall and covered completely in armor. With deafening booms, they hurtled into the air, drawing long arcs across the sky before smashing into the front line.
The Giant Army!
Their earliest form was in the Skyquaking Giants of Arabia.
In the war of the northwest between the Great Tang and Arabia, these giants had been almost completely wiped out. But after Arabia had submitted and the Great Tang had united the world, the Giant Army had been reestablished. Unlike in the past, however, recruitment into the Giant Army was voluntary rather than compelled, and the selection criteria were even more strict.
In this war where the fate of the world was on the line, any sort of help would be of enormous aid.
They needed to use every method at their disposal to fight back against Heaven and the Celestial Army!
Boom!
A massive giant, his body curled up into a ball, descended from the sky like a meteor and smashed into the front line. Boom! Dust plumed into the air as several dozen Celestial Army soldiers screamed, blasted up into the air by the impact.
“For the Great Tang!”
A giant charged out of the churning dust, his muscles taut and his eyes bright, his body brimming with explosive strength. Unlike the giants of the past, his eyes were clearly sober, and he was able to think normally.
Boom!
When the giant punched out, Stellar Energy surged out of his body and immediately swept through several Celestial Army soldiers like a gale, his power completely overwhelming.
Even Celestial Army soldiers found it hard to stop!
“Come on! Let me see how strong you are!”
The leading giant moved with an agility that did not match his enormous body, charging at the nearby Celestial Army soldiers. The earth groaned and shuddered under his feet as if it was unable to endure this power.
“Ah!”
The giant gripped a giant wolfteeth mace in his hand, and he swept it with overwhelming power at the Celestial Army.
The muscular Celestial Army soldiers appeared like infants in front of the hundred-foot-tall giants. For the first time, the Celestial Army soldiers had truly encountered an existence that could suppress them.
“Careful!”
A Celestial Army soldier crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the strike, his eyes stricken with fear, but upon being struck by the mace, he flew backward in the air like a ragdoll.
Boomboomboom!
More giants rained down from the sky and crashed into the ground, exploding across the front line of the Celestial Army and unleashing clouds of dust.
For this war, the human world had spent the last three years establishing this army of one hundred thousand giants. At this moment, they were all being tossed into the front line by the massive metal gates in the rear.
As these giants joined the fight, the crumbling front line was stabilized. Besides that, the Celestial Army which had the upper hand began to fall into disarray.
“Killkillkill!”
The human soldiers roared as they launched their counterattack.
On the other end, Zhao Fengchen’s Xuanwu Army had been on the verge of falling to the men in black, but at this moment, two hundred thousand Shadow Dragons joined the fight.
Clang!
In a cold flash of light, a nimble man in black descended from the sky, swinging down his sword, but he was instantly blocked by a sword that was just as swift. A member of the Shadow Dragon Dvision flew into the air, lunging at the man in black.
“It’s you guys!”
The man in black was alarmed as he quickly recognized what force this soldier belonged to.
He had participated in the war in the northeast, and was familiar with this force that the Great Tang had trained specifically to deal with them. Many other members of the Celestial God Organization were also extremely familiar with them.
“Just a loser!”
The man in black snorted in disdain and lunged at him.
While An Lushan had lost, and the men in black who had infiltrated the fortress had been wiped out, in reality, they had killed many members of the Shadow Dragon Division.
No matter how strong the disciple was, he could not be stronger than the master!
In many ways, the Shadow Dragon Division imitated their training methods, and even the arts they used belonged to the men in black. But in terms of actual fighting experience, the two weren’t on the same level.
Bang!
A moment later, a black flame erupted from the man in black’s body, traveling along his sword and rushing at his opponent.
“Hmph!”
Seeing this, the Shadow Dragon soldier coldly snorted. Showing no sign of backing down, he unleashed a dark black flame from his own body.
“M-Mara Fire!”
That proud man in black was instantly left stupefied, not daring to believe his eyes.
