The gap in strength is just too immense, too vast!

"Block them!"

"We cannot let the enemy pass!"

"For glory!"

"Sworn to protect!"

All sorts of slogans began to resound!

But accompanying these slogans were the charges of the Border Guards!

No, to be more precise, it was a march to their deaths!

At this moment, what difference is there between the Border Guards charging in and sending themselves to die!

Ye Luo once found himself besieged by a formidable enemy, also easily slaying enemies whose strength did not match his own.

Back then, Ye Luo was just one man, yet it was easy for him to kill thousands of enemies!

Due to the disparity in strength, the overwhelming power, there was simply no way to resist!

It was as if the enemy was shooting from an Apache helicopter with infinite bullets from the air!

While on his side, they could only defend on the ground with bows and spears!

What meaning does such a battle hold!

Previously, it was Ye Luo who held the absolute advantage, it was Ye Luo who exterminated the enemies!

But now, it is Ye Luo’s people being slaughtered!

Even though the Border Guards had not submitted to Ye Luo, in Ye Luo’s eyes, they were his people, because they were citizens of the Great Tang Empire!

Ye Luo was immensely furious, he wished nothing more than to rush forward and slay all the enemies, but he clearly understood he could not achieve that!

If not for the pistol he had fortuitously found in the underworld, Ye Luo would have perished in the Nameless Valley!

At this moment, the cooldown time of the pistol had ended, but even if Ye Luo could fire a shot and eliminate a few hundred enemies, what use would that be?

These are nearly ten thousand enemies!

The Border Guard legions, each consisted of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of troops.

At this time, none of these Border Guards were retreating, even though they knew that charging forward meant only death!

Yet they refuse to retreat!

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"

A general came running from afar, clearly, he was not a defender of this section of the city wall, but upon seeing the wall breached, he unhesitatingly brought his men over.

It could be seen he cared for Ye Luo, otherwise, he would not have shouted such words at Ye Luo upon reaching his side!

Of course, after shouting, he no longer paid attention to Ye Luo but instead led his men to their deaths! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Indeed, it was sending them to die!

This was not a battle, this was outright slaughter!

Even the most elite fighters among the Border Guard legions were only half a step into the Spirit Martial Realm at best!

Facing enemies whose average strength reached the Fifth Rank Spirit Martial Realm, what could they resist with?

Even the power of their self-detonation couldn’t break the enemies’ Spirit Power Shield!

Moreover, the enemies were also an army, tightly coordinated!

Killing... ruthless...

The soldiers continuously roared in anger, continuously charged; for the Border Guards, even in death, they would die beneath the city walls!

Suddenly, a child’s voice came from afar!

Ye Luo turned around, only to see over a thousand boys of Da Yue, no more than eleven or twelve years old, charging forward!

Ye Luo knew the Border Guards had their own academy dedicated to training soldiers.

At this moment, even these children were sent out?

Ye Luo’s heart bled as his reason told him that even if he charged forward now, it would be utterly useless and would only lead the enemies to find him and eliminate him entirely!

But his heart told him he could not stand by idly!

These people, or more accurately, were dying because of Ye Luo!

After all, the enemy’s target this time was Ye Luo, not the Border Guard legions; it was Ye Luo who came because he couldn’t defeat the enemy and sought help!

It was Ye Luo, it was he, it was he who harmed these people!

Suddenly, Ye Luo felt a slight heat at the corner of his eyes, and a clear drop of liquid trickled down!

Ye Luo cried!

Tears don’t easily come to a man!

Ye Luo wasn’t incapable of crying, it just wasn’t the time for him to cry yet!

But at this moment, Ye Luo cried!

At this time, not only children, but ordinary people were also appearing from afar!

Or rather, they weren’t truly ordinary, as they were the families of the Border Guard soldiers!

The Border Guard columns were a unit unto themselves, their soldiers trained and lived around these city walls, so naturally, their families were here as well!

At this moment, people did not think of escaping; instead, they chose to charge forward with their families!

The ruthless and merciless enemies would not spare you just because you were ordinary people.

In their eyes, these people were just ants, killing them would not cause the slightest unease!

Especially since this was an elite, iron-blooded legion sent by the Commerce Alliance!

"No!"

Ye Luo shouted in anger, preparing to charge forward because he couldn’t bear to watch any longer, as his conscience would not allow him to witness this scene continue!

But Ao Long held him back!

Ao Long understood Ye Luo’s current feelings, but unfortunately, this was the Martial Realm, and Ye Luo was merely experiencing the harshness of the Martial Realm ahead of time!

No, compared to the real cruelty, this was nothing; in the Martial Realm, the extermination of entire clans due to war was not uncommon, was it?

Not to mention a mere nation, not to mention scores of thousands, wasn’t the massacre of hundreds of millions a normal occurrence?

Putting everything else aside, just talking about small worlds, once a small world was discovered, if it contained suitable resources but lacked powerful force.

To some forces, wasn’t it typical to eliminate all the indigenous inhabitants of that small world?

Even if it wasn’t total slaughter, wouldn’t it still be enslavement?

This is the Martial Realm; it’s just not as Ye Luo imagined before!

Only, Ye Luo had seen too little.

Ao Long shook his head at Ye Luo and said nothing.

But Ye Luo understood what Ao Long meant.

Ye Luo also knew that charging forward would be absolutely pointless!

Suddenly, Ye Luo thought of Spirit Sword Island!

Yes, this was the Border Guard legion, so naturally, they also had Spirit Sword Island!

As the most formidable strategic weapon of the Great Tang Empire, perhaps it could make a difference!

Thinking of this, Ye Luo no longer hesitated and quickly ran out. Ao Long did not know what Ye Luo had thought of but did not hesitate and directly followed him!

Actually, Ao Long wanted to prepare Ye Luo mentally earlier, but seeing the enemy’s attack was far from them, Ao Long refrained. Some growth requires personal experience, not relying on others’ words.

Besides, the enemy had already formed a giant axe, so even if Ao Long had informed Ye Luo, what could be done? Could Ye Luo stop the attack?

...

"Spirit Sword Island, where is Spirit Sword Island!"

Ye Luo halted a Border Guard general, as communications were quite advanced in the Great Tang compared to Da Yue, so the general naturally recognized Ye Luo, and upon Ye Luo’s inquiry, he did not hide it, casually pointed in a direction, and continued leading his men onward!
