Chapter 653: The Battle Begins
Wooo Wooo Wooo!!
The next morning.
The war horn blared with a heart-stirring sound that spread far and wide, invigorating every transferee’s spirit and resolve.
Today marked the final decisive battle!
Rally!
March!
“Kill!!”
Inspired by the holy artifact war horn, every soldier’s fighting spirit soared to unprecedented heights.
The reserve squad led by Ling Zhan had naturally assembled well in advance.
Each member of the reserve squad looked at Ling Zhan’s back with admiration in their eyes.
After a night of training, Ling Zhan had fully mastered his newly gained explosive power.
The exponential growth in his attributes had further elevated Ling Zhan’s combat strength to an unparalleled level.
Today, the reserve squad’s mission was clear and direct!
Intercept the Hundred Ghosts Army led by Multi-Mouthed Woman, Jade Bottle Man, and Bloodthirsty Child!
Due to Slaughter God urgently reinforcing his side with several 130-140-level Heavenly Ghost Generals, General Lost had to confront their top-tier forces.
Meanwhile, Slaughter God would face off against General Li in an epic battle high above the skies!
This battle…
Would secure at least a century of stability for the Fusang Nation’s war zone!!
The strategic location of the Blazing Heart Empire had been well-protected until now, disrupted only by the sudden death of its emperor, which plunged the empire into chaos, creating an opening for Slaughter God.
After this painful lesson, no one would dare to care about so-called international opinion anymore.
During the emperor’s reign, the Fusang Nation’s frontlines had remained relatively stable.
While minor skirmishes occurred, they posed no real threat to the safety of the Hundred Ghosts Fortress.
As previously mentioned…
The Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons was the only forbidden zone with the strongest hostility toward the mortal races of the lower realms.
The other three forbidden zones—the Demon’s Nest, the Terror Mountains, and Takamagahara—showed less aggressive tendencies.
The Terror Mountains remained the most mysterious, its creatures and circumstances unknown worldwide.
Takamagahara destroyed half of Fusang Nation’s territory upon its descent but engaged in only minor battles thereafter.
It wasn’t until the chaos in the Blazing Heart Empire that Slaughter God exploited the situation, seizing the eastern region as a strategic foothold, leading to today’s battle for Gewort City.
This means that if Slaughter God and the Hundred Ghosts Army could be driven out of the Blazing Heart Empire and the strategic location secured under multinational forces, the frontline would remain stable for at least a century!
If managed well and Takamagahara’s aggression stayed in check, peace could last indefinitely!
The only major concern remained the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
All elite forces of the multinational armies were stationed at the Sacred City—the frontline against the Ten Thousand Demons.
The Sacred City was globally recognized as the first holy city!!
Compared to it, the imperial capital of the Holy Light Empire was utterly insignificant!
Returning to the topic at hand…
The entire army was now ready to deploy!!
“March!!”
With General Li’s resounding roar…
Boom!!
Countless magical warships ignited brilliant flames, soaring into the sky!!
Magic war chariots equipped with floating cannons roared to life!
Soldiers clad in battle armor roared as they charged toward the battlefield outside Gewort City, brimming with killing intent and an indomitable fighting spirit.
Roar!!
Outside Gewort City…
The endless Hundred Ghosts Army had long been itching for blood!
Their hoarse, savage roars echoed as they fearlessly charged at the multinational soldiers!
The two forces collided!
Boom!!
Flesh and gore flew everywhere in the ensuing chaos.
The ordinary ghost slaves, however, were nothing more than expendable pawns.
Birthed by the Hundred Ghost Mothers, they lacked proper equipment and solid strength, relying solely on their Level 40-50 attributes and ghost claws and fangs to tear into enemies.
As far as the eye could see, they stretched endlessly.
This was the advantage of the Hundred Ghosts Army—their overwhelming numbers!!
Meanwhile, the well-equipped multinational soldiers, bolstered by countless support buffs, tore through the ghost slaves like gods of war.
It was like slicing through vegetables; countless ghost slave heads flew off!
War chariots sped across the battlefield, their laser cannons targeting and obliterating the minor ghost leaders among the enemy ranks.
Buzz!!
The terrifying laser blasts wiped out hundreds of minor ghost leaders in an instant!
Soon…
Under Princess Alice’s astonished gaze from atop the city walls, Gewort City, surrounded for so long, finally saw a glimmer of hope as the soldiers ripped open a path!
This was the power of the multinational forces!
It was overwhelming!
Empowered by the war horn, every soldier displayed unmatched courage.
It was as if they had been granted the fearless bravery to charge forward without hesitation!
Boom!!
At that moment…
A deafening thunderclap suddenly echoed in their ears!
Looking up…
They saw thunder roaring and flashing across the skies, waves of devastating energy rippling outward!
That was…
The battlefield of the top-tier combatants!!
General Li and General Lost were jointly fighting against eight Heavenly Ghost Generals!!
Led by the Level 165 Slaughter God, these generals faced off against Level 170 General Li and Level 162 General Lost!
Apart from Slaughter God…
The remaining seven generals included the Level 162 “Heart-Shattering Greed Ghost,” while the rest were below Level 150, including Multi-Mouthed Woman.
Their purpose was to support Slaughter God and Heart-Shattering Greed Ghost.
While ordinary monsters from forbidden zones were fragile…
High-level monsters far outclassed human experts of the same level in power.
The battle above raged fiercely, with ground-level fighters only able to witness the thunderous clashes and terrifying shockwaves overhead.
“As expected, they were right—when top-tier forces are evenly matched, the outcome of a war is determined by the mid-tier combatants…”
Princess Alice’s gaze locked onto a distant battlefield.
There…
Ling Zhan and his reserve squad faced off against the elite ghost general forces led by Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child!
The ghost generals under these two commanders were all above Level 80.
Clad in armor and exuding a menacing aura, they were a stark contrast to the mindless ghost slaves.
Jade Bottle Man and Bloodthirsty Child had a direct but critical mission—
To use forbidden spells to breach Gewort City’s defensive formation!
