Ye Luo was somewhat surprised in his heart. Even though they had used spiritual power to conjure such a giant axe, it wasn’t truly an axe. Splitting open the city walls? And the walls were protected by a Spirit Power Shield? This seemed entirely unbelievable!

Ye Luo had never seen what war in the Eighth Region truly looked like, but using spiritual power to form an axe and then attack the city walls felt utterly inconceivable!

Ye Luo focused all his attention on that giant axe!

At this time, the enemy’s attacks had almost ceased, instead, all the power was concentrated together!

Ao Long glanced at Ye Luo with a slight frown, seemingly wanting to say something to Ye Luo but, for some reason, ultimately decided not to.

Ao Long sighed softly in his heart. Although he understood this method, some things are better for Ye Luo to experience personally; then the memories would be more profound.

At this time, apart from the basic few hundred guards, all other members of the Commerce Alliance had injected spiritual power into that giant axe, making its power increasingly formidable.

As for the Great Tang Empire’s border guards, they were obviously filled with confusion just like Ye Luo, completely unaware of what the enemy intended to do. But they fared slightly better than Ye Luo, as they didn’t have as many doubts. For them, defending the border walls was their duty, regardless of the type of attack they faced. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Even knowing certain death, they would have no complaints, only steadfastness!

Moreover, the giant axe looked immensely powerful, but they still didn’t know what the situation was!

"Quick, activate the backup defenses, launch all Defensive Arrays!"

Li Long’s voice rang out once again. Ye Luo didn’t know the situation. He remembered that Li Long seemed to be the captain of an independent regiment within the border legion, rather than the overall commander. But now, it seemed as if he had become the overall commander here.

Of course, Ye Luo didn’t ask much, considering that the border guard legion hadn’t submitted to him. Fortunately, Li Long’s legion remained neutral and even provided assistance when needed.

The other three legions had already openly declared war on the Royal Mansion!

The battlefield at that moment revealed an eerie scene; the powerful soldiers of the Commerce Alliance were injecting all their spiritual power into that giant axe, leaving no time to fight!

The soldiers of the Great Tang Empire seemingly just watched as if it were a spectacle, observing everything happening before them without launching a counterattack!

Both sides’ soldiers were focusing on the giant axe in the sky, which was growing larger and more imposing!

The entire top of the border walls was aglow with various Spirit Power Shields, and due to Li Long’s intuition, he decisively activated all defenses!

"Prepare!"

Suddenly, a loud shout emerged from the enemy formation, clearly intended to make all soldiers act in coordination through the sheer volume!

"Countdown ten seconds!"

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

...

The countdown continued, yet even the members of the Commerce Alliance, including Ye Luo, continued to watch the scene ahead as if it was a play, because they had no idea what the enemy intended to do!

In the Great Tang Empire, or rather throughout the Ninth Region, warfare was not all that different from the ordinary world.

According to Ye Luo, warfare in the Ninth Region was similar to ancient Earth wars, just using different tactics!

Array formations, slaughter, whether close combat or ranged, resembled what was on Earth, only with different tactics!

Unfortunately, such perceptions were due to their ignorance...

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Attack!"

In a split second, the giant axe suddenly descended, truly intending to chop the city walls!

At that moment, Ye Luo felt astonished, but mostly baffled!

Soon enough, Ye Luo understood!

"Boom!"

A terrifying blast of air waves directly flung Ye Luo away!

Indeed, even though Ye Luo had activated his Spirit Power Shield and had reacted, the air waves still swept him away!

"Kill!"

A deafening roar sounded, and Ye Luo realized the enemy had launched an attack!

Fortunately, despite the violently raging air waves, Ye Luo wasn’t harmed, and he hurriedly stood up, but what he saw left him utterly stunned!

Before him lay desolation!

A section of the border walls had disappeared, along with everything within a range of at least several thousand meters beyond the walls!

As for the soldiers?

The walls had vanished, so how could the soldiers survive?

One must know, these border walls had been built by the Great Tang Empire at great cost, using the best materials available, yet now they were reduced to ruins!

No sounds of wailing!

Because, apart from those like Ye Luo, who were tossed away due to being comparatively far, everyone else within the attack range had disappeared without a trace!

At this moment, the enemy advanced as if unchallenged, directly charging forward!

Ye Luo heard no more of Li Long’s voice, for Li Long was at the heart of the giant axe’s attack, which included a significant portion of the command of that border legion!

The soldiers stood dumbfounded.

Those had been dozens of large-scale defensive formations!

Among them, some were even considered epic formations by the Great Tang Empire, yet they were all breached, with not the slightest defensive ability!

The enemy was simply too strong!

"Block them!"

A loud shout rang out, only for thousands of Great Tang Empire soldiers to rush forward!

Unfortunately, without the protection of the walls, the disparity in strength meant these Great Tang Empire soldiers stood no chance!

Those thousands didn’t even reach the enemy before being completely wiped out by a casual enemy attack!

Now the entire border legion had lost its command.

Yet, precisely because they lost command, it highlighted the power of this border legion!

If it were another legion, faced with such devastation, morale would surely collapse!

Yet the border legion surprisingly had no reaction whatsoever!

"Charge with me!"

Another loud shout, and a colonel charged out, accompanied by only a hundred or so men, since all others had died!

"Flash!"

A beam of light flashed, wiping out the colonel and his subordinates in an instant!

Only now did Ye Luo notice that not only the various defensive formations on the walls had been destroyed, but also the forbidden sky formations!

Currently, all enemies were hovering in the air, while on the border legion side, at least seventy percent of the soldiers couldn’t remain airborne for long!
