Chapter 1285 Defeat
Upon observing this scene, the frontline commander immediately ordered the artillery positions to replace the equipment with the highest-level soul guidance devices.
Otherwise, this ferocious torrent would tear the Heavenly Soul Empire's defensive positions to shreds.
Ye Nanxiao provided Viges with ten level-nine bombardment cannons.
This is all that was squeezed out from Tangmen's production capacity.
The muzzle diameter of the level 9 bombardment cannon is as large as a bucket.
While its power is terrifying, its drawback is obvious: it requires energy storage.
The terrifying momentum of the abyssal creatures only paused briefly when the energy blasts, which resembled tiny suns, crashed into the battlefield.
Several trolls attempted to block the cannon's attack, but they overestimated their defensive capabilities.
It was directly transformed into black gas and dissipated by the energy blast.
Xu Longsheng, who was hiding in the back, couldn't help but feel doubt and schadenfreude when he saw this scene.
Why do you think I failed to breach the Heavenly Soul Empire's defenses?
Just look at these ridiculously fast-paced attacks!
Xu Longsheng also inquired about where these charging soul tools came from.
After learning that it was the Tang Clan, the Sun Moon Empire didn't have any good ways to restrict them, so they could only try to limit the Tang Clan by restricting the rare metal market.
However, the results were not significant.
Zhongli Wu remained calm, as if the deaths of hundreds of abyssal creatures in that short moment were no big deal.
After the abyssal creatures' offensive was briefly halted, it resumed with an even more frenzied attack.
One by one, the abyssal creatures began searching for various ways to attack.
Digging, flying, and using their companions' bodies to launch fierce attacks.
Vijays received a constant stream of intelligence from the front lines, and his brow furrowed deeply.
"The Sun Moon Empire has deployed a large number of soul beasts in battle? This isn't right!"
"Why did the next battle report state that no spirit rings appeared on the battlefield? Not even the carcasses of those beasts?"
Vijays suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding.
Soon, his ominous premonition began to come true.
After initially being bombarded by heavy artillery fire and getting used to it, the abyssal creatures began to use their advantages to fight back.
The Abyss Burrowing Beast lurked underground, swallowing soil and mixing it with its own energy before suddenly unleashing a shockwave.
The shockwave on the ground behaved like small "waves" that churned up mud.
The troll pounded the earth, churning up huge chunks of dirt. A two-winged horned demon wrapped itself in its large wings and fell like a meteor.
The first defensive point set up by the Heavenly Soul Empire was quickly approached by the abyssal creatures.
When Viges received the message, he realized that these creatures were monsters!
"Evacuate immediately! Retreat to three positions! Full fire support from position three! All other positions retreat!"
The fact that the Sun Moon Empire released these monsters means that it is confident that they can break through the Heavenly Soul Empire's defenses!
After a brief observation, Xu Longsheng ordered the long-range artillerymen to take off and snipe at the high-ranking generals of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Although Vijays gave the order immediately, the Abyssal Burrowing Beast was one step ahead of him.
Using its thick shell, the Abyss Burrowing Beast managed to infiltrate the front line of the Heavenly Soul Empire despite the artillery fire.
Once the artillery line is breached by close combat, chaos and slaughter will follow.
One after another, soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire frantically pulled the triggers, unleashing the fire from their soul-guided devices upon the Abyss Burrowing Beasts.
However, in a short period of time, the thick carapace of the Abyss Burrowing Beast is not something that these standard level-six charged soul tools can penetrate.
Meanwhile, the abyssal beasts began to dance among the crowd, their heavy and sharp claws striking down soldiers with a mere flick of their wrists.
With the invasion of the Abyssal Burrowing Beasts, the first line of defense was thrown into chaos, and the remaining Abyssal creatures swarmed in.
The troll grabbed a soldier and swallowed him whole.
The winged horned demon moved like a drill, its sharp armored weapons constantly spraying large amounts of blood.
The black-horned beast opened its twisted maw, its six enormous hooves galloping wildly, energy surging, kicking up massive amounts of boulders that flew out.
Viges made a decisive move, ordering the second position to begin providing support, while the surviving soldiers at the first position detonated the soul-guided devices on the position to buy time and slow down the progress of the abyss creatures' roar.
The soldiers on the first line looked up at the overwhelming abyssal creatures and their comrades being devoured by them, and a sense of despair welled up in their hearts.
Extreme despair is accompanied by anger that has exceeded all limits.
Since we can't leave, let's all be annihilated together!
Suddenly, a huge and brilliant fire erupted from the first besieged position.
The third artillery position received orders and aimed its guns at the first position, which had already been surrounded.
"Brothers, let's be brothers again in the next life. I owe you my life!"
The Soul-Guided Bombardment Cannon finished charging and roared once more.
Vijays stared at the battle report before him, then slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot.
The latest novel is first published here!
Soul Masters were already scarce in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and now that they had finally managed to train a portion of them using charging soul tools, this group of monsters had appeared!
One-third of their elite troops were lost.
And the defensive positions that were won at the cost of soldiers' lives are being lost rapidly.
Viges was very unwilling, but the abyssal creatures were too fearless to fight.
Ultimately, he chose to retreat, withdrawing to the area where a formidable barrier had already been created.
That is, behind area A2, they will use the collapsed cliff to defend again.
Otherwise, the infiltration of the Abyss Burrowing Beasts would make it difficult for them to defend themselves.
Until a better way to deal with the Abyssal Burrowing Beasts is found, Viges will have to stay put for a while.
Xu Longsheng witnessed the charge of the abyssal creatures. Even though he knew they were helpers sent by His Majesty, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at the sight of these fearless creatures.
His cultivation level was quite high, and he had a clear view of the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire were like defenseless lambs, slaughtered and devoured!
A sudden surge of acid reflux rose up.
Xu Longsheng suppressed his discomfort, exchanged a few flattering words with Zhong Liwu, and then left under the pretext of needing to command the Soul Master Corps to advance.
Zhongli Wu paid no attention to Xu Longsheng, this nobody. His soul power surged, and in a flash, he appeared at the first position of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
A small flag appeared in his hand.
"Souls, come here!"
Zhongli Wu laughed a few times and began to wave the Soul-Devouring Flag.
The ghostly face pattern on the Soul-Devouring Flag seemed to come alive, and the hideous demon seemed to want to crawl out of the flag, its mouth wide open, emitting a terrifying suction force.
Tens of thousands of unwilling souls emerged from all directions and were stuffed into the Soul-Devouring Banner by Zhongli Wu.
The large number of souls brought Zhongli Wu a sense of physical and mental pleasure, and even the bad luck brought by his mortal enemy dissipated somewhat.
However, the greedy Zhongli Wu was not satisfied with stopping there.
He continued to look in the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you think hiding will save your life?"
"That's ridiculous!"
Amidst the billowing flames and black smoke of the explosion, Zhongli Wu appeared like an evil god, riding on dark clouds filled with death and destruction, looking down upon the world. (End of Chapter)
