"Elder Sheng, are you perhaps insulting me!"
Ying Yu's expression turned cold. Looking at the aged Elder Sheng, he spoke in a deep voice, "I, Ying Yu, have experienced several sacred wars. Which one did I shy away from? Which one did I face the might of the Ancient Wilderness and survive!"
"Elder Sheng!"
"This battle is not your battle of atonement!"
"It is our duty as humans to step forward and protect the human lands of the Southwest Domain!"
"Although I, Ying Yu, am not a Tongtian realm expert and cannot withstand the sharpness of the Ancient Wilderness, if they wish to cross this city, they must step over my corpse!"
"Ying Yu..."
Elder Sheng sighed helplessly. He had originally intended to preserve a spark of hope for humanity, but he hadn't expected Ying Yu to be so resolute.
"Prepare for defense!!"
Elder Sheng took a deep breath. He slightly turned his head, scanned the leaders of the four imperial dynasties, and issued the command of the Ten Elders. In less than a moment, all the human allied forces stood on the city walls, holding golden spears and long pikes.
The northern defense line of the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty concerned the safety of the four imperial dynasties and absolutely could not be lost. Even if they were defeated in this battle, they had to take a bloody chunk out of the Ancient Wilderness army.
Elder Sheng looked at the approaching Flaming Rhinoceros and Blood Python armies with a troubled expression. The elites of the four imperial dynasties were all gathered here. This was the only chance for the four imperial dynasties, but the odds of victory were slim.
"Chieftain Xichen, how are your tribal forces prepared?"
On the opposite side of the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty's northern border defense line, Blood Python Chieftain Xue Ming was eating a piece of sizzling, greasy blood meat. The Flaming Rhinoceros and Blood Python armies were now even more powerful and terrifying.
Bathed in the blood of millions of humans, the vanguard armies of the two Ancient Wilderness tribes were now iron-blooded and awe-inspiring, with wisps of blood energy coiling between the camps.
"Almost ready!"
"I see the human allied forces have gathered sufficiently. It's time to charge over and bloodbath the human lands!"
Xichen spoke with a indifferent expression, drinking the still warm blood. Around them, the most iron-blooded warriors of the two tribes were all gathered.
Excluding the contingent led by Elder Xue You of the Blood Python army, the soldiers from both tribes here numbered over a million!
"Brother Xue Ming, after this battle, the human race will surely be defeated. If we march south, we can certainly annex the territories of the four imperial dynasties. There, tens of thousands of blood foods await our selection!"
"Brother Xue Ming, your tribe has already conquered the Tian Yue Imperial Dynasty. Will you spare more of these four imperial dynasties for my Flaming Rhinoceros tribe?"
"Hahaha, Chieftain Xichen, rest assured. The territories of these four imperial dynasties are vast. With our two tribes joining forces, of course, we will share them. These four imperial dynasties are not our starting point; the Great Han Dynasty has top-grade blood foods. Chieftain Xichen, what are we waiting for?"
Xue Ming stood up directly, looking at the distant, towering city wall with a ferocious expression. How could the human race, without a Tongtian realm expert, withstand the onslaught of the two tribes? Within this very tent alone, there were ten Tongtian realm experts.
Any one of them was enough to crush the human allied forces!
A million troops, truly laughable!!
"Let us charge in and feast on blood food here tonight!!"
Xue Ming drank the blood in his cup in one gulp and immediately slammed it down. Xichen behind him immediately stood up, walked to Xue Ming's side, and waved his hand. The Tongtian realm experts of both tribes within the great hall instantly became ecstatic, howling as they rushed out of the hall and straight towards the army.
"Chieftain Xichen, what if our two tribes were to claim this land as our own, and raise these humans? We would select those with extraordinary talent, nourish them with food and resources.
"When they grow up, with robust blood essence and powerful physiques, we would then offer them to the demon ancestors. The rest, our two tribes would digest ourselves, and even transport them back to the荒域 (Arid Domain) for sale!"
"Such a beautiful errand, it would only take a thousand years to form a complete system. By then, we would be favored by the demon ancestors."
"If any of these humans were to break through to the Tongtian realm, they would undoubtedly be a delicacy for the demon ancestors."
"Chieftain Xichen!"
"What do you think?"
Xue Ming said as he extended his finger and drew a line in the void: "With such fertile land, if it were jointly managed by our two tribes, this vast territory of hundreds of millions of miles would surely yield a good harvest."
As the two were plotting and planning, the armies of both tribes had assembled, a mighty force of a million.
At the very front, Xi He, the Heavenly God of War of the Flaming Rhinoceros tribe, and Xue Hao, the son of Blood Python Chieftain Xue Ming, stood before the myriad troops, their eyes filled with bloodlust and surrounded by killing intent.
"Kill!!"
One holding a scythe, the other a serpent spear, they roared their commands!
"Boom crackle!!"
The million-strong armies of the two tribes instantly brandished their weapons, shaking the void. The entire void was gradually engulfed by blood energy.
"Roar!!"
"Roar!!"
Two mighty roars shook all directions!
In the sea of flames, a Flaming Rhinoceros, thousands of feet tall, spewed out scorching flames from its mouth, its four legs treading on the void sea of fire.
And in the sea of blood, as if two scarlet suns, they shone through the blood sea, piercing in all directions. Suddenly, the blood sea churned, and a ten-thousand-foot blood python shot straight into the heavens, its eyes filled with icy glint as it scanned the human allied forces ahead.
"Roar!!"
"Roar!!"
"Roar!!"
The million-strong demonic beast army roared in unison, a pillar of blood energy supporting the boundless sky. Thunder rolled, and the void trembled.
"Not good!!"
"Defense, quick, defense!!"
Elder Sheng's face contorted in horror. Such a world-destroying formation. Under this impact, the human allied forces were in peril!
But the million demonic beast army below did not activate their formations; instead, they charged forward together, stepping through the void.
"Shoot!!"
"Shoot!!"
Ying Zhong roared hysterically, in a momentary panic. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked around. A prince who had been pampered within the Golden Crow was unprepared for such a situation.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"
A rain of arrows filled the sky, a dark, cloud-like barrage that obscured the void, piercing furiously towards the armies of the two tribes.
"Roar!!"
The million-strong demonic beast army, relying on their weapons, waved them towards the void. The Flaming Rhinoceros and Blood Python formations in the void suddenly roared to the sky, and waves of primal energy, like tides, intercepted all the incoming arrow rain.
Dense, tens of thousands of arrows were directly swallowed by the sea of fire and blood!
Witnessing this, Elder Sheng instantly drew the long sword at his waist, his face cold, his eyes resolute: "Sons of the Human Race!!"
"The Human Race stands between heaven and earth!!"
"We shall fight the Ancient Wilderness to the death!!"
"If the Ancient Wilderness does not perish!"
"The Human Race will fight on endlessly!!"
