"Do not linger in battle; break through the Celestial race's formations and follow me towards the second fortress. This area will be handled by the Mo Dao Army behind us."
Huo Qubing, astride his horse and wielding his spear, slew several Emperor-level cultivators of the Celestial race. He continued until an Emperor from the second fortress arrived to intercept him, and the two engaged in battle.
At this moment, the teleportation gates in the Gao Xin clan's camp flickered continuously, and countless Human race Emperors and Emperor-level experts arrived, joining the fray.
Even the commanders of the nine major armies, along with their personal guards, rushed to the scene. Various noble families also dispatched their elite forces as suicide squads, their eyes bloodshot as they fought the Celestial warriors.
The hatred forged over tens of thousands of years, the blood debt owed by several Human Ancestors, and the animosity between the Human and Celestial races were irreconcilable. Every Human warrior fought with eyes blazing, completely abandoning their own defense and plunging their blades fiercely into the bodies of their enemies.
"Damn it, Old Second, bring your men and charge with me towards the city wall! What are the Celestials compared to us? They bleed just the same when you stab them, damn it!" He Dazhuang, with bloodshot eyes, called out to Wang Erzhuang, urging him towards the ramparts of the Celestial fortress. Sudan Novel Network.
Leng Shan, leading the Leng family elites and their Dragon Mastiffs, charged onto the ruins, seizing the high ground and relentlessly sniping the Celestial troops on the city wall with their sharp arrows.
Huo Qubing, while fighting the Celestial Emperor, observed the battlefield situation with increasing anxiety. The Great Han cavalry had been completely entangled by the Celestial army.
Suddenly, wolf howls echoed, and arrows flew into the chests of the enemy amidst the roars of the grassland warriors.
Tie Muzhen, who had already advanced to the Emperor level, led a contingent of formidable grassland generals, crashing fiercely into the battlefield. The scimitars of the Golden Wolf Cavalry and the Suluding spears carved open a gap for the Great Han cavalry.
Then, the ground began to shake. Leading the charge, the eight-headed serpent, with its monstrous beasts, directly breached the rear wall of the Celestial fortress.
A Mo Dao, glinting with cold light, deflected a sword strike aimed at Huo Qubing. The burly Li Siyi, wielding his Mo Dao in rapid succession, cleaved the Celestial Emperor fighting Huo Qubing in two within a few rounds.
"Ancestor Qu Bing, leave this to me. You and Old Tie hurry and lead the cavalry to block the reinforcements from the second fortress, don't waste the Marshal's efforts."
Immediately, units of Mo Dao soldiers poured into the battlefield, alleviating the stalemate of the Great Han cavalry.
Huo Qubing nodded, and a clear bugle call sounded again: "Great Han Cavalry charge!"
The thunder of hooves returned, and the Human cavalry galloped towards a new battlefield.
Wu Qi, leading the Wei Wu Army, finally cut down the obstructions before them, reopening the path to the Celestial fortress for the main army.
With the vast army pressing forward, the Celestial race's defeat was all but sealed. Within the entire fortress, only the elite armies of Tian Qi and Tian Zhan were desperately holding on.
The commanding heights of the city wall had been seized by He Dazhuang and Wang Erzhuang, leading the elite death warriors of their respective families.
Having recovered some strength during this respite, Lin Zhan, no longer feeling as weary, mounted his steed Xiao Hei. With a flash of black light, he instantly appeared within the Celestial fortress.
"Wu Qi, Wei Qing, lead your troops to encircle and eliminate the remaining enemies. Mo Dao Army, assemble immediately and go support Huo Qubing and Tie Muzhen, otherwise my cavalry will be wiped out by the Celestials!"
Lin Zhan bellowed, simultaneously teleporting beside Lin Tian, "Grandfather, gather the Heroic Spirit units. Let's first devour the reinforcements from the second fortress, and then we'll assess the situation for further attacks."
Lin Tian nodded and, with the military leaders of the Heroic Spirits, went to arrange the deployment of troops.
Lin Zhan knew that the Heroic Spirit forces still had two complete army groups that had not yet seen action, and these old men were even more skilled in night combat than his current troops.
After all, these ancestors of the Human race had been engaged in continuous warfare since the start of the war of the myriad races, their skills in field combat honed to the bone.
The eight-headed serpent, leading the war beast legions, was the first to intercept the approaching reinforcements from the second fortress.
The commander of the Poisonous Mist Centipedes hurriedly led three thousand Poisonous Mist Centipedes to deploy a thick fog, temporarily halting the Celestial advance.
"Boss, waiting like this isn't going to work. If it comes down to it, I'll lead my brothers in self-destruction," the King Kong Mammoth declared resolutely to the eight-headed serpent.
The Steel Armor Tyrannosaurus Rex commander nodded in agreement, "Yes, Boss. We'll just blow ourselves up and take those bastards with us."
The eight-headed serpent was taken aback. It hadn't realized that its subordinates had developed this peculiar habit. Did their own lives not matter?
"Shut your damn mouths! Self-destruction? Self-destruction? What, is living not good?"
"No, it's not!" The King Kong Mammoth and the Steel Armor Tyrannosaurus Rex commanders exchanged glances and said in unison.
Damn it, this was exhausting.
Just as the eight-headed serpent was at its wit's end, the brothers of the Tie family from the Iron Eater clan arrived with their Iron Eater beast legions.
"Ba Qi, what are you dawdling for? Get ready to charge with me and tie up these Celestial reinforcements. My uncle's cavalry will be here soon," Tie Ha'er said, charging forward with his brothers, not forgetting to call back to the eight-headed serpent.
The eight-headed serpent stared blankly at the group of simpletons. "Holy crap, truly my uncle's Imperial Guards. They just charge in without regard for any formations?"
Then, it addressed the commanders of the various war beasts, "Let's stop watching the fun. We don't want anyone saying we got in through the back door. Charge with me! Remember, no one self-destructs, don't blow up your own people!"
The eight-headed serpent instantly transformed into its true form and led the charge into the Celestial formation.
"Damn, no wonder they dared to charge. If I had eight Emperors leading the charge, I would have charged long ago too," the eight-headed serpent said, enviously watching the Tie family brothers fighting the Celestial Emperors.
"Boom, boom, boom." Nearly a hundred consecutive explosions startled both sides engaged in battle.
Tie Ha'er stared blankly at the large craters within the Celestial formation ahead, swallowing hard and saying,
"Holy crap, where did my uncle find these desperadoes? They just charged in and immediately self-destructed. That's too brutal."
A group of Iron Eaters beside him nodded, shaking their black and white heads. "We should really avoid talking about these war beast legion guys in the future. These things clearly have something wrong with their brains. Who can handle them if they just self-destruct at the drop of a hat?"
While everyone was stunned, the cavalry from Huaxia finally arrived.
Huo Qubing, seeing the current situation, quickly shouted, "Ba Qi, Ha'er, lead your troops forward and break through the Celestial formation. We'll cut off their retreat!"
