Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 821 - 50: Iron-Blooded Tide, Ferocious Monsters

"Kill!"

The shouts of battle rose like waves, and the endless army began surging forward like a tide.

Xiao Jie watched the battlefield from above, able to clearly see every change occurring on the battlefield.

The soldiers did not recklessly charge forward as depicted in some films, but instead formed formations, moving slowly like an indestructible wall, or a relentless torrent rolling forward.

The two armies closed in on each other, constantly adjusting their formations. When the distance was about five hundred meters, bolts of Thunderbolt gathered in the air, gigantic fireballs rained down from the sky, the Gale howled, lightning flashed, toxic mist filled the sky, and the earth shook.

Spellcasters on both sides took action one after another.

In the New Empire Army below, Xiao Jie noticed quite a few high-level spellcasters.

They were probably followers of Wang Xie, or Northern Demon Clan members who defected to Long Wushang, as various Taoist Demon Techniques emerged in endless streams.

They engaged in a magic duel with the Taoists of the Alliance Army, leaving the ordinary soldiers on both sides hapless and unable to act due to the great distance, merely taking the brunt of attacks and suffering heavy casualties.

The New Empire Army not only had ground spellcasting units but also several figures that took to the skies, transforming into Gray Eagles, Pine Eagles, and Hai Dongqing. It was unclear whether these were demons from the Northern Land or Demon Masters accompanying the army.

These great birds circled and soared in the sky, constantly seeking openings to strike and dominate the skies. In contrast, the Alliance Army had very few who could fly.

Xiao Jie also perked up. He feared he would have to face these creatures later.

A white silhouette flashed by side; it was An Ran, transformed into a Snowy Owl, flying up to observe the battle together.

"My god, the New Empire Army is strong! So many demons? Sui Feng, we need to coordinate well later."

"Coordinate, my foot. With your Beast Transformation, don’t charge ahead. When the aerial combat starts, you can back down."

"But..."

"No buts."

"Alright." An Ran replied helplessly.

The skies belonged to the New Empire Army, but on the ground, the Alliance Army maintained a significant advantage. At this moment, their extended formations slowly began to encircle the flanks of the New Empire Army.

Both sides’ soldiers continued to endure heavy casualties. Those players who stayed far behind the main army felt fortunate. They knew that getting too close to the front row could mean death from stray attacks.

Of course, there were also some unfortunate souls who overestimated their combat prowess and marched at the forefront of the battle formation from the start. They were now scrambling back in disarray under the bombardment of spells, cursing having not been born with an extra pair of legs by their parents.

Upon witnessing this, the Hu Ben General, commanding from the central army, angrily remarked, "Hmph, these returnees are nothing but useless trash, cowardly mice. The battle has yet to even begin and they are already acting so disgracefully. It’s simply outrageous.

Send orders to the shooting teams: if anyone disrupts the formations, shoot to kill, no hesitation."

Woo woo woo woo!

The herald immediately blew the trumpet, and amidst the trumpet sound, teams armed with strong bows and formidable crossbows organized into firing formations.

Fortunately, most players understood the situation; especially in a one-life game like this, those who dared to stand at the forefront of both armies were all experts above Level 30, seasoned by the edge of death, with an acute sense of danger. They quickly maneuvered to the flanks or withdrew through the gaps in the phalanx, avoiding recklessly charging the formations.

Soon, all frontline players retreated, leaving only the NPC soldiers to continue marching forward.

When the distance reached three hundred paces, both sides’ ballistae, catapults, and fire-powered siege weapons began launching attacks. Although not as visually stunning as spells, these were formidable in power. Each catapult stone landing amidst people could inflict several hundred to thousands of points of siege damage, easily enough to kill players with low health in one hit.

Fortunately, by now, the players were already far away, and each possessed very capable Qinggong, so they avoided being hit by the stones.

The NPC soldiers, bound by military orders, stood still, victims to the giant stones flung by the ballistae.

When the two armies were a hundred paces apart, both sides’ archers and crossbowmen stopped advancing and began shooting arrows from where they stood.

For a time, arrows flew like locusts, falling like raindrops into enemy formations.

Spellcasters on both sides further unleashed Call the Wind Skills towards each other; as the wind howled, arrows flew back and forth, creating a lively scene.

Now, the enemy was within Xiao Jie’s spellcasting range.

Thunder Fall Skill! Boom, Xiao Jie blasted a lightning bolt into a group of archers, immediately causing a row of red text to flash.

The health of these soldiers was quite high, and it took two to three Thunder Fall Skills to kill them. If it was considered splash damage, even more Thunder Falls were needed.

Xiao Jie cast more than a dozen Thunder Falls in succession, killing only about two to three dozen little monsters. In the vast expanse of the two armies, it caused hardly a ripple.

Yet Xiao Jie didn’t mind; after all, he had the Double Dragon Pearl to recover mana, so he wielded his spells freely, unleashing Thunder Fall Skill one after another.

A few fierce demon beasts noticed and suddenly swooped toward him.

Xiao Jie immediately descended in altitude, entering the range of his own archers. The enemy dared not pursue further and retreated in frustration.

Realizing the advantage he held, Xiao Jie acted even more audaciously, continuously casting Thunder Fall Skills, specifically targeting those with low health, gaining considerable experience in the process.

Finally, the infantry units of both sides began their engagement.
