Chapter 307: A Routed Army
Translator: CatatoPatchEditor: Vermillion
The experts of the General Mo Lin's army brandished their spears and snarled. A loud scream ”Charge!” sounded from behind them and they rushed forward.
These soldiers possessed a valiant fighting strength because they had undergone the Apostle's medical strengthening process and had become the elites among elites. This was also the reason why they felt assured that they could conquer Western Mystery City.
As an ancient city in the Light Wind Empire, Western Mystery City had a long history and deep foundations. They had long since separated themselves from the imperial army and become self-sustainable. Being able to oversee the North-West Plains for so many years and thwart the invasion of spirit beasts from a hundred thousand radius yet still stand tall was a testament of their valiance.
However, General Mo Lin was very confident because he had faith in the Apostles. With the assistance of the Apostles, his troops had never been defeated.
The city gate of Western Mystery City had been breached, and General Mo Lin's army rushed in, one warrior after another.
Although Western Mystery City's army tried their best to repulse the invaders, the enemies held the advantage because they had mounted a sneak attack. The Western Mystery Army retreated in defeat consistently, even though they were the elite force of the Western Mystery City.
Blade lights, weapon reflections, and yells of ”Charge!” echoed within the entire ancient city.
The citizens of Western Mystery City hid within their respective houses in terror. Wars were extremely cruel and merciless. Facing this war... they could only pray, helplessly.
Three figures floated in the sky above Western Mystery City, basking in the stench of blood wafting from below. Soul essences howled miserably as they were drawn out of their corpses by a formless suction force. The essences were sucked into the talisman array being held by the Shura expert, who was in the sky.
Carefree laughter resounded from the three floating figures in the sky.
All of a sudden, from the depths of Western Mystery City, a voice boomed ”Kill!” loudly.
The laughter of the Shura Sect experts ceased immediately. Mo Lin brandished his long spear that was covered in blood and looked in the direction of the yell. The Western Mystery City soldiers charged from the depths, one after the other.
Zhu Yue, Kong Xuan... these were the upper management of Western Mystery City.
General Mo Lin's expression became grave. He knew that the genuine and challenging battle was just about to start.
However... didn't the Western Mystery Army seem a little arrogant?
General Mo Lin found the situation bizarre because the charging Western Mystery City soldiers seemed to possess a vigor so powerful that it seemed like their blood and true energy were about to burst forth from their bodies. It was extremely strange.
This was the Third Corp of the Western Mystery Army. According to the reports, they should be the weakest troops in the Western Mystery Army, right?
Zhu Yue, whose face was flushed red from trying to restrain himself, urged his horse to go faster. It was as though a raging blaze had erupted within his body.
After eating a bowl of spirit beast meat from the Premium Wok of Fortunes, Zhu Yue felt that the true energy in his body surged violently and made him feel like he possessed infinite strength.
”Kill! Slaughter this group of brutes!!” Zhu Yue roared. Immediately, he led the soldiers and charged into the mass of people. He brandished his longsword and chopped up a person with every slash.
General Mo Lin bellowed and rushed to face Zhu Yue.
Kong Xuan's energy level was mighty. As a Battle-Saint, he was one of Western Mystery City's powerhouses.
However, this time, his charge was being intercepted by a figure. This man was one of the experts donned in a black gown, and he used one hand to support the five talismans that were floating in the sky. Without a doubt, this expert was also a Battle-Saint since he possessed the ability to float in the sky. Furthermore, he gave Kong Xuan an extremely dangerous feeling.
”Assaulting my Western Mystery City! Spare no one!”
However, Kong Xuan had nothing to fear. His body emitted clanging sounds, as though he had donned a suit of armor made of surging spirit energy, and he charged toward that black-gowned figure.
In an instant, the doorway of the city gate seemed to have degraded into Shura's hell as it became a dreadful combat battlefield.
General Mo Lin and Zhu Yue fought each other, but the more they fought, the more astonished the former got. This was because he realized that something seemed different about Zhu Yue now, compared to last time!
Zhu Yue had become more ferocious and strong while his energy had become rich and powerful!
How was this possible… How long had it been? Previously, Zhu Yue was totally unable to give him such an enormous pressure!
General Mo Lin's eyes shrank, and he turned his head around to look at his surroundings. He was overwhelmed with shock. This time, his troops were the side... suffering consecutive defeats.
”This... how is this possible?!” General Mo Lin bellowed.
The surrounding soldiers of the Third Corp fought heroically and seemed unafraid of death. Unexpectedly, they pressured General Mo Lin's army and forced them to retreat little by little. The Third Corp was like a surging tide of steel, killing everything in their way.
”These Third Corp soldiers are fake, right? Weren't they very weak, previously?!”
General Mo Lin felt extremely unresigned as he watched his troops retreat over and over. He noticed how energetic every soldier of the Third Corp looked. This left him feeling extremely puzzled!
”Haha! Satisfying!” Zhu Yue laughed.
He certainly understood why the Third Corp was so bold, powerful, and extremely energetic. It was because they had just eaten gourmet food that they had never tasted before. That Premium Wok of Fortunes made them feel reborn!
Many of them had broken through and their cultivation advanced. The quality of the Third Corp had been increased by an entire grade.
Thus, under these circumstances, the vigor and fighting power of the Third Corp were at their best. Even if they were faced with the First Corp of the Western Mystery Army, they would still emerge victorious. So, why would they fear these invaders attacking their home ground?
You are so freaking dead!
In the sky above, the two remaining Shura Sect experts narrowed their eyes. They were also somewhat flabbergasted. They didn't foresee General Mo Lin's army getting suppressed so miserably.
”You, go. Western Mystery City has to be conquered. This was what the High Priest promised King Yu.”
The hoarse voice calmly instructed. Subsequently, the figure whose hand supported the broken talisman figure sped out. He rushed forward, stopped, and stood upright in the sky.
As he stood proudly in the sky above Western Mystery's Third Corp, the gale caused the black gown around him to flutter violently. He curled the corners of his mouth into a cruel smile.
