This is interesting.
Hanming chuckled lightly, then began to mobilize his legions.
One by one, the legions began to connect, and countless highle extraordinary beings took to the skies.
Strike! The legion commander roared, gathering the soldiers behind him for a combined strike against the heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Sounds like thunder erupted and the sky began a series of explosions.
The meteors shattered into fragments, raining down like dust.
Chapter 202.
Surround but not attack.
Rogue tactics.
As soon as the two sides clashed, an earthshattering commotion erupted.
Such attacks, even at the Imperial level, could be deemed strategic strikes.
If executed well, this could potentially annihilate an entire army.
However, the falling meteors were blasted apart one by one with no finesse involved, just the simplest brute force to shatter them.
Although the fragments of the meteors still held considerable power, they had lost their lethal capability against the eternal knight warriors.
The ultra-large magic array set up at the cost of massive resources had sacrificed dozens of ninth tier warriors and one demigod after such a heavy price.
Not only did it failed to severely injure the eternal knight legion, but it didn't even harm a single soldier.
The Alliance general had never placed hope on this strike, believing that it was unrealistic to expect one move to heavily damage the army of the Eternal Knight Empire.
After all, there's a saying, respect your opponent is to respect yourself.
The Eternal Knight army had previously swept through, causing the armies of the Hund Nations Alliance to flee in panic.
If they were weak, then what did that make the defeated Alliance? Yet even so, having no casualties on their side was indeed a bit excessive.
Haha.
Is this your trump card? You sacrificed a demagod and dozens of ninth tier warriors to end up like this.
To be honest, I feel it's not worth it for them.
They might as well come out and fight us directly.
Perhaps they could take one or two from us.
A commander of the ninth tier holy domain glanced at the city wall and through the dustfilled air, he seemed to see the commanders at top the wall, laughing loudly.
Seeing this, the Eternal Knight army also burst into laughter, seemingly mocking the Hundred Nations alliances overconfidence.
"If it comes to that, you might as well surrender," another general laughed, saying, "This world is a world for the strong.
Now that the Imperial Army is at your doorstep, it's normal that you can't defeat us.
It's not shameful to be able to believe in our Lord is an honor for you.
Why resist so fiercely?" At this point, both sides had irreconcilable conflicts.
Surrender was out of the question.
Those who wished to surrender had already done so.
What remained with the staunchest resistance fighters.
However, this did not prevent the commanders of the Eternal Knight Empire from using this opportunity to shake their fighting resolve.
He acknowledged the Alliance commander will to resist.
But what about the others? Even in this extraordinary world, the main strength of an army still came from those seemingly ordinary soldiers.
After losing so many battles and facing an opponent that was almost impossible to defeat was the will of these soldiers really so steadfast.
It wasn't that he looked down on the Alliance's warriors, but rather a very realistic issue.
They simply couldn't win.
This was a battle with a significant disparity in strength.
The Alliance had no chance of victory, facing a future of inevitable defeat.
As long as they were human, they would waver just a matter of how much.
Damn it.
The Alliance general's face was filled with fury, his gaze sharp as a sword.
If looks could kill, the commander of the eternal knight empire would have died a hundred times over.
Everyone, I won't say much more.
You can see how the situation is.
We have almost no chance of victory.
He turned to the silent soldiers and said gravely, "But if we can't win, does that mean we should surrender? We are the noblest warriors of this land.
We have always been a masters of this land.
Why should we bow to a bunch of barbarians? The armies of the Hundred Nations Alliance were fundamentally different from those of the Eternal Knight Empire.
The most essential point was ownership.
If the Eternal Knight army belonged to the Empire, then the Alliance's army belonged to the nobility.
The elite warriors of the Imperial Army could be nobles, commoners, or even servants.
However, the elite warriors of the Alliance army could never be commoners.
They were most likely nobles.
This was not discrimination but a very realistic issue.
The empire possessed vast territories and multiple channels to obtain resources.
They did not lack resources.
So even a servant as long as they showed the corresponding talent for cultivation will be nurtured by the empire.
The alliance however could not do this.
Not to mention they lacked such abundant resources even if they had them.
They would not share them with others as they viewed it as a wasteful act.
In other words, the current elite warriors were mostly from the noble class.
The kingdom's general looked at them and shouted, "Brave warriors, do you wish to bow your heads to a bunch of barbarians, or do you want to fight them to the death? Even if we die, we must take a piece of flesh with us.
" With his words, the already fired up soldiers suddenly became passionate, shouting in unison, "Fight to the death, we will not retreat.
Fight to the death, we will not retreat.
Fight to the death.
We will not retreat.
The fervent response echoed through the sky, resonating across the battlefield.
Oldly, "It seems your trash talk isn't working.
Their shouts are even louder.
" An Imperial general teased.
The previously speaking Imperial general snorted coldly and said, "I never expected to make them surrender with just a few words.
Besides, we gathered so many legions here.
If they surrendered immediately, wouldn't te that be boring?" This statement made sense.
Such a large-scale war was unprecedented.
Even during the trial of the gods, it was not this thrilling.
Who knew if there would be another opportunity like this? If they just surrendered, I might not even be happy.
Fight.
The exchange of trash talk did not disrupt the ongoing battle.
After a gust of wind, the dust settled and both sides resumed their barrage.
The magic cannons roared to life.
Highquality crystal stones burned as if they were free.
Those energy cannons capable of shattering everything blasted toward the city.
Yet they did not shake the city's defenses in the slightest.
But this was to be expected as the top power in the northern continent.
The capital of the Lanisa Kingdom had been built over hundreds of years.
If it could be breached so easily, it would be underestimating them.
The Eternal Knight Empire was also in no rush.
not organizing their legions to assault the city, but continuing to use artillery to wear down the city as defensive systems.
Eternal Knight warriors were indeed fearless, but they should not die for nothing.
Sending them to assault the city before breaking through the defenses would be no different from sending them to their deaths.
Since they wanted to consume, let them consume.
Let us see who can outlast whom.
Although it was a large-scale expedition, the Eternal Knight Empire was fully confident in its logistics.
At least in this place, they could afford to drag it out for a year and a half without issue.
The Alliance had no intention of charging out to meet the enemy.
They simply relied on the defensive systems they had established earlier to withstand the Eternal Knight army's attacks.
