Chapter 265 Sending Off the Heroes

"Roar! Humans, it's time to start the real war, I'm done playing with you!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed from the depths of Myriad Beasts Mountain, followed by dozens of terrifying auras erupting from the depths and charging towards the battlefield.

"Not good! These beasts are launching a general offensive!"

An elder from Sword Pavilion's face changed drastically. He thought it was just another probing attack by the beasts, but unexpectedly, the enemy had launched a full-scale assault.

"Quickly send a message to the sect for reinforcements!!!" someone roared. Once the beasts launched their general offensive, the thirty Imperial-level experts they had in the capital would be far from enough.

In an instant, dozens of beasts exuding terrifying auras appeared in the sky at the edge of Myriad Beasts Mountain. There were over fifty of them, and coupled with the Beast Emperors who had already joined the battle, Myriad Beasts Mountain had mobilized a total of seventy Beast Emperors this time!

"Kill! Kill all humans, devour them!"

A Beast Emperor roared. It was a flood dragon with a single horn on its head, emitting a heart-palpitating aura. It was actually a peak Imperial-level Beast Emperor.

It should be known that without the appearance of Celestial-level experts, such a powerhouse was almost invincible.

At the same time, roars emanated from the forest, and more demonic beasts poured out of the woods, charging towards the battlefield.

"Not good! Suppress them with firepower! Quickly! Fight with all your might!"

Qin Tiance's eyes turned red. The demonic beasts that had emerged from Myriad Beasts Mountain this time were all King-level, numbering countless.

"All Imperial-level experts, face them! Hold on until the sect's reinforcements arrive, our Pavilion Master will be here soon!"

A Sword Pavilion Imperial-level expert roared, his eyes red, and then he looked sharply towards the south of the capital and shouted.

"Hall of Desolation, fellow Daoists, why are you not joining the battle? Are you really going to watch millions of humans in the capital be devoured by demonic beasts?"

On the front line of awakened cultivators to the south of the capital, over a hundred Imperial-level experts were airborne. They had all witnessed the changes in Myriad Beasts Mountain, but not a single one of them came to aid.

"Fellow Daoist Jianlin, you have misunderstood us. We are already engaged in battle, guarding the rear for the capital and preventing sneak attacks by demonic beasts!"

The speaker was Liu Neng from the Hall of Desolation, looking relaxed. As soon as the war began, the Hall of Desolation had joined forces with various factions to establish a defensive line south of the capital.

They weren't refusing to participate, but rather felt it wasn't the right time. In fact, the reason they had previously taught cultivation techniques to ordinary people was to absorb fresh blood and strengthen their sects.

However, they ultimately discovered that ordinary people had very poor cultivation aptitude. Many couldn't even get started, let alone produce geniuses.

This greatly disappointed them. Furthermore, they found that most of the talented individuals among the new humans were in the Great Qin army, and the Great Qin army was extremely loyal to Great Qin. No matter how many promises of endless benefits they offered, very few people defected.

This situation was all because the Qin Lord was still alive. As long as the Qin Lord was alive, those soldiers would not have the thought of betraying Great Qin.

Not to mention the millions of ordinary people in the capital who were willing to follow the Qin Lord.

Therefore, the Hall of Desolation and many other factions were very dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. Among all the factions, the Qin Lord was the weakest, yet he had the most support, and many geniuses followed him.

They could not allow such a force to exist.

Moreover, they were afraid. They were afraid that those who followed the Qin Lord would become powerful, and then Great Qin might revert to the way it was before their awakening.

Therefore, the Qin Lord must die, and those who followed the Qin Lord must also perish!

They wanted to return to ancient times, not to be ruled by humans of a new era!

"Indeed. We are defending the rear. Now that the demonic beasts have awakened, if any Beast Emperor attacks the capital from the rear, the millions of humans in the capital will have no retreat! Fellow Daoist Jianlin, we hope you can understand our good intentions."

The Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Family smiled and spoke. Among the awakened forces, the Heavenly Family probably wished for the Qin Lord's death the most. After all, when he awakened, he learned that the Heavenly Family's dominion had been seized by Great Qin, and at that time, he wished he could personally destroy the current Great Qin.

"Nonsense! We are all humans, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by our supreme experts afterward?"

Jian Lin cursed, filled with rage. Defending the rear? The rear was the territory of the major awakened forces, and each faction probably had experts stationed there. Which Beast Emperor would dare to sneak attack the capital from the rear?

In the end, it was just wishing for the capital to be destroyed!

"Hold on! Patriarch of Taoism, our Sword Pavilion Master will arrive soon! We absolutely cannot let these beasts attack the capital!"

Jian Lin roared, swinging his long sword towards the flood dragon. He was in the late Imperial stage, and only he could stop that flood dragon.

"Heh heh, overestimating yourself!" The flood dragon sneered, its body instantly growing several times larger, its body extending for hundreds of meters. It soared into the sky, and with a flick of its tail, it sent out a gust of wind.

"Break!" Jian Lin roared, his face flushed, and with a sword strike, he broke through the opponent's attack. But immediately after, the flood dragon was already in front of him, its giant mouth opening as if to swallow him whole.

At the same time, the surrounding human Imperial-level experts were almost all in danger, not because they were not strong enough, but because there were too many opponents.

In the ground warfare, Qin Tiance and other King-level warriors were also retreating steadily. At this moment, Qin Tiance was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell if it was his or the demonic beasts'.

He surveyed the entire battlefield, his heart filled with sorrow. Many comrades had already sacrificed their lives, being devoured by the demonic beasts.

It should be known that the King-level warriors who died at this moment were all individuals with excellent talent, otherwise, they would not have broken through to the King-level in such a short period.

Qin Tiance let out a bitter laugh. Originally, these King-level warriors were the future foundation of Great Qin's strength, but now, after more than half a year of war, almost all the talented warriors of Great Qin were dead.

If this continued, even if they won this war in the end, Great Qin would have no hope of rising again.

"Kill!!! Brothers, killing one is a fair trade, killing two is a profit! We'll be people of Great Qin in the next life!"

Qin Tiance roared. Although exhausted, he still forced himself forward to charge at a King-level demonic beast.

However, the number of human King-level warriors was too small. Even though each of them fought desperately, quite a few King-level demonic beasts still broke through their blockade and charged towards the front lines.

"Suicide Squad! Go for it!!! Don't let those King-level beasts get close to the city wall!"

On the city wall, Jiang Hai roared. He was now the first commander of the War Department. After Li Shanhai died, he had taken over Li Shanhai's position.

However, his talent was average, and he had only just reached the War God level.

With Jiang Hai's order, countless figures rushed out from the city wall.

"Great Qin sends you heroes!" Jiang Hai looked at the figures rushing out, his eyes filled with tears, and knelt down on one knee.

The Suicide Squad only had one chance to act, and for this one chance, they would pay with their lives!

"Kill!!!" A warrior from the Suicide Squad rushed to a Beast King. As soon as he got close, his body exploded!

"Boom!" The sudden explosion caught the Beast King off guard. He thought it was a free meal delivered to his doorstep, but he didn't expect the other party to explode.

"Boom!" But then, another person rushed forward and instantly exploded. This time, a bloody hole was blasted into the Beast King's body.
