Chapter 2401: The Decisive Battle (IX)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Suddenly, arched spacetime passages appeared in the army.
Bang!
When the battle at the front line had reached its most intense moment, the fabric of space trembled, and the Celestial Army battling with the human army suddenly grew restless.
A moment later, the Celestial Army parted, and an arched spacetime passage more than four hundred feet tall, radiating a hazy light, appeared behind them.
This sudden development drew everyone’s attention, even the Giant Army’s.
Bang!
A golden hand emerged from the spacetime passage, the fingers like steel pillars grabbing the edge of the ‘arched gate’.
A moment later, an enormous figure that was more than twice as tall as the giants on the human side walked out.
This was a giant Celestial Army soldier!
His equipment and aura were identical to regular Celestial Army soldiers, but he appeared much, much stronger.
The shadow cast by his body covered fifty to sixty regular Celestial Army soldiers.
Hiss!
The sudden emergence of these giant Celestial Army soldiers had Bahram and the others in the rear gasping, their hearts sinking.
No one had expected the Celestial God Organization to be hiding Celestial Army soldiers like this.
The Celestial Army soldiers were already extremely powerful. Moreover, these giant Celestial Army soldiers were bursting with explosive strength and appeared several times stronger than the human giants.
“Careful!”
Cries of alarm came from the front as more and more giant Celestial Army soldiers emerged from the arched gates and onto the battlefield.
Their savage eyes locked onto the human giants the moment they appeared.
Roooar!
Their roars shook the heavens, stirring up frenzied winds. As the first giant Celestial Army soldier emerged, gripping an ancient sword of mammoth size in his hand, he almost immediately began to rush at several human giants like a streaking comet.
“Everyone, together!”
The three closest giants looked at the mountainous figure before them, swallowing at the sight of these figures that towered over them. But all of them knew that there was no retreating here, and they swiftly came together and charged at the giant Celestial Army soldier.
Bang!
The giant sword swung, and with one slash, the three human giants flew out in three different directions like they had been rammed into by some raging beast.
The three of them together had not even been able to take one blow from the giant Celestial Army soldier!
Everyone was stunned by this sight.
“Hmph!”
Atop the altar, Essence Supreme coldly smiled.
This was the Archaic Celestial Army!
At the same time, it was the origin of all giants.
The Skyquaking Army was a simplified version that had been given to the human dynasties to use.
These Archaic Celestial Army soldiers didn’t even need to use any techniques. Their explosive strength was enough to dominate the battlefield.
Essence Supreme’s expression was aloof. Through his Psychic Energy, he transmitted a simple thought.
“Kill them all!”
The purging of humanity!
They had finally reached this stage!
The moment the Archaic Celestial Army appeared, the purging of this epoch had advanced another step. There was no existence on the battlefield that could resist these massive Celestial Army soldiers.
This was no longer a war, but a one-sided massacre!
It had united all of humanity and given them hope, and would now destroy and butcher them!
Roooar!
Furious bellows resounded as more and more of the enormous Archaic Giants emerged onto the battlefield.
Thudthudthud!
The human soldiers were cut down like weeds, and the Celestial Army constantly advanced over their corpses!
One hundred thousand!
Two hundred thousand!
Three hundred thousand!
Countless human soldiers were slain, and the first defense line which had taken so much trouble to build was instantly torn apart. Just moments after the Giant Army had stabilized the defense, it had once more crumbled.
The entry of the Archaic Celestial Army pushed this war between humans and ‘gods’ to a fever pitch.
Moreover, as the Celestial Army advanced, on the other end, the battle began to turn against the Shadow Dragon Division.
While the Celestial Army soldiers did not present too much of a threat to the Shadow Dragon Division, they were far too numerous.
In the middle of an intense battle, dealing with the numerous attacks of the Celestial Army was fatal.
Bang!
A Shadow Dragon soldier used the Shadow Fiend Art to dodge, but the dense crowd limited the space available to him, and he was still struck by several Celestial Army soldiers. Plush! A sword thrust through his back, and a Shadow Dragon soldier, surrounded by seven enemy soldiers, dropped to the ground, dead.
One, two, three…
“Full charge! Kill them!”
The men in black seized this chance to join the Celestial Army in a counterattack. As the Fires of Ju Bi, Lu Wu, and Mara were flashing out, numerous soldiers of the Celestial Army were also being slain.
Ordinary soldiers could not kill the Celestial Army soldiers, but the Shadow Dragon soldiers could.
However, they paid a price for this. Thousands of Shadow Dragon soldiers and Xuanwu Army soldiers died on the front, but even until the very end, none of them retreated.
Seeing that the situation had turned dire, several figures in the rear turned to Wang Zhongsi and Dalon Trinling.
“Milord, what do we do?!”
With Wang Chong gone, everything was decided jointly between the two of them.
The howling winds carried the sounds of distant fighting toward them. While the two of them appeared calm as they surveyed the front, their hearts were also in turmoil.
However, they were quickly able to calm down.
On the battlefield, personal sentiment was the most unnecessary thing.
What humanity needed was victory, not sorrow!
“How are the preparations in the rear?” Wang Zhongsi suddenly said, his expression firm. At this moment, he was as cold as steel, had put away all his emotions. He was once more the ever-victorious and invincible War God of the Great Tang.
He was the commander who was worthy of everyone’s respect!
A deputy general lowered his head and said, “Milord, they can enter the battle at any time.”
But after saying this, Wang Zhongsi said nothing more.
He was waiting for the right moment.
The human soldiers continued to throw themselves into the fray to stop the attack of the Celestial Army. At this moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl, each second lasting for an eternity.
After some time…
Wang Zhongsi’s eyes flashed as he finally spoke. “Pass on my order. Have all soldiers on the front line retreat!”
Bang!
Following Wang Zhongsi’s orders, the Xuanwu Army, the Shadow Dragon Division, the Giant Army, and all the heavy infantry on the front line began to retreat, setting off a major shift in the battlefield.
“They want to retreat?”
Essence Supreme saw this and snapped his fingers, a cold laugh coming from his mouth.
“Pass on my order! Celestial Army, advance! Scatter their defense line!”
The Tang were too simpleminded if they thought that they could just retreat.
Even a three-year-old child would know that in the packed confines of the battlefield, one side retreating meant disaster.
“Kiiill!”
Two million soldiers swept forward in a ceaseless tide.
Five thousand feet!
Seven thousand feet!
Ten thousand feet!
It wasn’t just the army on the front. The entire human army was retreating in the face of the Celestial Army’s offensive, and as more and more Celestial Army soldiers charged into the south, more and more human soldiers were slain.
The human army was on the verge of collapse!
Twelve thousand feet!
Fifteen thousand feet!
Seventeen thousand feet!
……
……
“Hahaha, they can’t hold!”
“Kill! Together!”
A man in black had caught on to what was happening. With a savage laugh, he shot forward. Behind him were tens of thousands of other men in black, doggedly pursuing the retreating human army, moving even faster than the Celestial Army.
“Eighteen thousand feet, nineteen thousand feet…”
In the human army, only Wang Zhongsi, Dalon Trinling, Bahram, Ozmish Khagan, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Gao Xianzhi, An Sishun, and the other Great Generals remained unperturbed. They watched as the Celestial Army drew closer and closer.
Twenty thousand feet!
Once the Celestial Army had advanced twenty thousand feet, Wang Zhongsi’s eyes gleamed with a vicious light.
The entire battlefield changed with it!
“Release!”
With this order, that long-awaited event finally took place.
Swish!
A piercing whistle came from the southern edge of the steppe, to which a man in black instinctively raised his head. On the southern horizon, he saw a flash of light, and then a brilliant fireball streaked across the sky in his direction.
“What’s that?”
That fireball was reflected in his eyes, and at that moment, he couldn’t help but feel curious.
But a moment later, he saw tens of thousands of fireballs.
Countless fireballs were rising up from the rear of that vast army, whistling in the Celestial Army’s direction.
Bang!
One of the fireballs crashed into the Celestial Army and instantly exploded into a sea of fire.
“Kerosene! Kerosene!”
“It’s Arabian Kerosene!”
The man in black immediately realized what this was and yelled in shock, but it was too late.
