Chapter 465
Yatesianna defense line. The burning hot sunlight relentlessly baked the ground. The blades of gra.s.s which were originally green seemed to be lifeless and drooping. Even the air seemed to be on fire.
This blazing hot temperature was extremely rare, even in the history of the Blue Waves Continent. It had only happened twice or thrice in the very long history the Blue Waves Continent had. In the hottest time of the day, the temperature would reach more than 50 degrees. That was a temperature which exceeded the limit of endurance of many living creatures.
Instead of hiding from the heat, now, the flames of war raged everywhere in the several hundred li long Yatesianna defense line. The heaven shaking shouts were resounding everywhere and everything within sight was covered in blood.
h.e.l.l. This was a piece of h.e.l.l which was on fire. Currently human life at the Yatesianna defense line was worth less than dirt. Along with the repeated a.s.sault and the repeated fierce battle, several million soldiers were entangled in battle. Under their feet, there was a carpet made from corpses. The corpses belonged to both camps and by this time, they had been trampled to mush.
Magic spells whistled through the air, and douqi flew everywhere. The front of both sides was repeatedly exploding with splendid l.u.s.ter. Blood mist filled the air and incomplete limbs filled the ground. This was the l.u.s.ter of death.
Ximen Wuhen wiped beads of sweat from her forehead. Her beautiful face was pale now. Although she had experienced many big and small battles with the army in the past few days, she had never experienced such a cruel and large scaled battle before. She had no time to think of anything else. She was terribly busy as she used her healing magic spells one after another on injured soldiers. However, there was only so much she could do. She would heal some of the soldiers while listening to the miserable wails of the others. Soldiers died one after another around her.
Finally, after casting a high-level healing magic spell. Ximen Wuhen was unable to endure it anymore. Her body swayed and she was about to fall to the ground. Her spirit power was practically exhausted and she wasn’t even able to see clearly anymore.
“Miss, you cannot continue any longer.” A soldier of the Blood Cavalry Regiment who had been following Ximen Wuhen as a bodyguard persuaded her to stop with a worried voice.
Ximen Wuhen nodded her head. She knew that she had already reached her limit.
“Priests, where are the priests? Quickly save our General!” All of a sudden, a loud voice came from the door of the medical military camp. Several vigorous soldiers who were
covered in blood from head to toe rushed in. They were carrying a wounded person who was wearing the robe which signified that he was a thousand man captain. The soldiers were shouting noisily as they entered the camp.
With a single glance, everyone could tell that they were the soldiers from the Unparalleled Battalion. The suffocating and baleful aura they emitted caused everyone in the tent to be panic-stricken. The general who was severely wounded was a thousand man captain from the Unparalleled Battalion. He was a man full of valor and vigor. He killed countless enemies and was known as a brave man who was willing to risk his life for his comrades. Currently, three magic arrows were sticking out from his chest. The armor protecting his stomach was sliced off and his intestines were exposed in the air. He was in an extremely sorry state.
When someone was injured to such an extent, any priest who was not at the Master Magician realm would not be able to cure him. Originally, this medical military camp had three priests who had reached the Master Magician realm. However, two of them were already in the midst of meditation as their bodies were unable to hold out any longer. Currently, only Ximen Wuhen was left standing. However, her spirit power was already used up.
“Miss, quickly save the General!” Several soldiers of the Unparalleled Battalion looked at Ximen Wuhen as if they were looking at their savior. They immediately rushed over and knelt on the ground, begging her to save their captain.
Ximen Wuhen sighed softly. She had to save the people of the Unparalleled Battalion. Gritting her teeth, she raised her magic staff. She gathered the final bits of her spirit power and casted her final spell.
“Miss……” The bodyguard standing behind her opened his mouth. However, Ximen Wuhen had already begun to chant the incantation.
Only when the bodyguard called out, the soldiers noticed Ximen Wuhen’s pale face. Now, her forehead was already filled with sweat. When they saw that Ximen Wuhen was already exhausted but still trying to save their captain, they felt extremely grateful in their heart.
After a milky white light illuminated the injured thousand man captain, Ximen Wuhen instantly lost her consciousness. She fell backwards with a warm smile on her face. After experiencing so much, Ximen Wuhen realized that she was able to help Long Yi. She also felt appreciated when she was able to successfully save someone. Watching a soldier keep his life after her treatment, she felt a kind of satisfaction. It was a kind of satisfaction which was couldn’t express in words.

Under the extremely hot sun, Beitang Yu wore a conspicuous commander-in-chief robe as she
she stood on a hillside near the battlefield. She had her hands behind her back as she looked at the battlefield which had been burning with the flames of war for quite some time. Although her expression was indifferent, her hands were slightly trembling as she held them behind her back. It was obvious that she was nervous about something.
“Right army, rush forward from the flank. Left army, reinforce the retreating path. Magician corps, fire your magic attacks into the battlefield, hold nothing back.” Beitang Yu mechanically ordered. The messenger beside her who was waiting for her order immediately waved the flag of command to relay her order.
When she saw the battle unfold below her, the corners of Beitang Yu’s mouth started twitching. This time, the number of casualties was too high. The third defense line of Yatesianna was really too strong.
Time flowed in the midst of this shouting and killing. The sun gradually sank into the horizon of the Hengduan Mountains. However, the battle showed no signs of stopping.
