Chapter 398
byChapter 398: Unstoppable Force
Buzz!
With a command from Tai Shi, hundreds of thousands of human soldiers raised their arms.
In the Qi Sea, spirit power surged.
Over four hundred thousand fire dragons, accompanied by a shocking roar, surged towards the Bone Spike Tribe’s army, which was one to two kilometers away.
The crackling sound of flames intertwined.
The terrifying aura felt like a volcanic eruption.
The front line of the Bone Spike Tribe stood dumbfounded.
Was this long-range attack really that terrifying?
Especially the front line warriors who had turned their arms into giant shields trembled with fear, feeling two waves of dread.
The fire dragons, although still far away, lacked any confidence to resist based on their aura and speed.
"Look above, look above!"
One of the Bone Spike Tribe’s warriors couldn’t help but shout.
Everyone looked up to see arcs of electricity flashing above their heads.
Countless bolts of lightning twisted and turned like giant silver snakes, continuously brewing and forming.
In an instant, the entire front line of the Bone Spike Tribe fell into chaos.
This unknown race could not only unleash long-range attacks, but they could also perform simultaneous strikes from above and ahead.
"Oh my gosh! What kind of race is this? How can they master two different powers of the laws at once, both so powerful?"
Not only the ordinary soldiers but even the hidden Bone Spike Chief and the strong beings among them were dumbfounded.
With their enhanced Perception Ability, they could sense more clearly the tremendous energy contained within these fire dragons and lightning.
"Retreat, everyone retreat! Order the front line to hold steady, anyone who dares to run will be executed without mercy!"
Bone Spike Chief’s perception enveloped all the strong beings, transmitting the message to them.
Including Bone Spike Chief, over a hundred hidden strong beings began to withdraw.
With their strength realm, they could easily withstand the attacks from the fire dragons and lightning.
But they knew very well that the soldiers in the front line could not resist.
Once they were attacked, it would surely lead to confusion, exposing these hidden strong beings.
The plan to ambush the royal pirate crew and Nika’s strong beings would collapse because of this.
They could only retreat, moving their hidden positions further back.
"Withstand the attack, anyone who dares to retreat will be executed without mercy."
The commander of the visible army roared continuously.
Under his command, the inspection team quickly patrolled the front line; anyone spotted retreating was immediately killed.
The front-line warriors of the Bone Spike Tribe dared not take a single step back.
No one noticed that the three commanders of the army were secretly moving backward with the hidden strong beings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally, the lightning in the sky struck first.
The warriors in the front line of the Bone Spike Tribe transformed their arms into shields to defend against the lightning.
Countless shields gathered together, forming a massive black shield above the entire front line.
The bolts of lightning crashed against the shield, piercing through it directly.
There was a huge gap in strength.
The average cultivation level of the human soldiers reached over sixty, with an average strength comparable to over seventy.
In contrast, the front line of the Bone Spike Tribe had an average cultivation level of just over sixty, a full major realm difference in strength.
Not to mention, this was such a dense wave of attack.
The giant shield woven from shields appeared to be unbreakable, but under the lightning strikes, the shields were sent flying away.
Although the lightning could not penetrate the shields, it was enough to blast the Bone Spike Tribe warriors and their shield-like arms away.
Screams echoed throughout the front line.
The entire front line was in chaos, with people and horses overturned and mixed together.
Meanwhile, ahead, hundreds of thousands of fire dragons approached with a terrifying aura.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever the fire dragons passed, all warriors and their shields were blown away.
These fire dragons charged in with unstoppable momentum, sweeping through the entire front line.
Countless Bone Spike Tribe warriors were engulfed in flames, some rolling on the ground covered in fire, while others fled, praying that their similarly preoccupied companions would help them extinguish the flames.
Piercing screams rose to the skies.
The inspection team had already killed until their hands were sore, but they still could not stop the terrified retreating warriors.
Because after the first wave of lightning and fire dragon attacks, above their heads, at the position of the Giant Human Wall, a second wave of lightning and fire dragon attacks was brewing.
Moreover, the brewing speed was extremely fast.
This large-scale long-range attack was not only immensely powerful but also remarkably frequent; there was no option but to escape or face certain death.
Running away at least offered a chance to evade the inspection team’s slaughter.
The commander of the Bone Spike Tribe could only order the entire army to slowly retreat.
The once orderly formation of the grand army began to twist and distort as they continued to fall back.
"Attack, attack at full speed!"
On the human army’s side, Tai Shi continuously issued attack orders.
A wave after wave of lightning and fire dragons continuously covered the area ahead for five kilometers.
The attacks finally stopped when no Bone Spike Tribe soldiers could stand within the five-kilometer attack zone.
In just four or five minutes, there had been over ten waves of attacks.
At least one million warriors from the Black Tiger Tribe were heavily injured or killed in this round of attacks.
On the human army’s side, the cost was only a small amount of spirit power.
The Method of All Laws created by Yi Chen had enormous power but consumed little spirit power.
After a few minutes, the soldiers still had plenty of spirit power in their Qi Sea.
Not to mention, each person held a storage ring filled with many spirit pills to restore their spirit power.
Although these spirit pills were all made by ordinary alchemists and were not very powerful, their effects were enough to compensate for the frequent spirit power consumption.
This meant that the human army’s long-range attacks could almost continue endlessly.
“Maintain the formation, advance!”
Tai Shi commanded.
The Giant Human Wall began to push forward against the Bone Spike Tribe’s army.
Their speed was not fast, but it was much quicker than the Bone Spike Tribe’s retreat.
After all, the speed of a maintained formation retreat was never as fast as a maintained formation advance.
Moreover, the Giant Human Wall had only hundreds of thousands of soldiers, while the Bone Spike Tribe’s army numbered eight or nine million.
The larger the number of troops, the slower the movement speed to maintain the formation.
The distance between the two sides continued to close.
“Organize a strike team and find a way to break the enemy!”
As the distance shrank, Bone Spike Chief had no choice but to give new orders to the strong beings in charge of command.
The nominal commander quickly assembled over three thousand high-end combatants from the Black Tiger Tribe, those at levels eighty and ninety, to form the strike team, suddenly charging out from the army toward the Giant Human Wall.
The Giant Human Wall came to a halt.
A storm of fire dragons rushed toward the strike team.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the entire strike team was reduced to nothing.
Although their strength realm was higher, they could only withstand the first and second waves of concentrated fire. They could not endure the third and fourth waves of attacks.
It was almost like giving them away.
The only effect was to temporarily slow the advance of the Giant Human Wall, buying the Bone Spike Tribe a few minutes to retreat.
