698 Red Spirit Monarch (1)

This sight left Xu Qing breathless, as the staggering number of casualties on both sides unfolded before his eyes in such a short span of time.

Many human cultivators died bizarrely. The enemies were clearly still far away, but in the next instant, that area seemed to have been swept by an invisible blade and all of them died.

After death, they mutated into irrational mutated beasts.

Roars, screams, self-destructive blasts, furious roars, accompanied by the thunderous rumbling of magical artifacts, filled Xu Qing’s ears.

On the whole, the human race in Fenghai County didn’t have enough strength to counterattack and could only be in a defensive state.

“Fenghai County originally had 13 provinces. Because they lost the three provinces in the early stages and Quzhao and Yinghuang couldn’t participate in the battle, they only had the strength of eight provinces left. Back then, during the preparation for the war, I remember that they were divided into eight armies!”

Xu Qing suppressed the waves of emotions that rose in his heart because of the tragic battlefield and quickly analyzed and checked.

“There are no unified mandatory plans. After all, this isn’t a mortal battle. Moreover, each province has its own characteristics, so it’s not easy to forcefully break their habits.”

“Therefore… these eight armies each have their own complete system that includes supplies, magic artifacts, coordination, and so on.”

“For example, the Third Army is in charge of maintaining the power of the magic spikes.”

“The only area where the entire county is involved is the county’s Taboo. The hundreds of Nihility cultivators present there were transferred from various armies, representing only a fraction of Fenghai County’s Nihility cultivators.”

“Among them, the ones directly under the Sword Holding Palace are the war puppets, the Dao bell in the sky, and the Emperor Sword of the Sword holders!”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked around. He noticed that the people from Quzhao Province and Yinghuang Province weren’t here and the number of troops here seemed to be lacking.

This reminded Xu Qing of the sand table he had seen in the Palace Master’s tent.

“The defense line is very long and the front line is divided into many war zones. Hence, Quzhao Province, Yinghuang Province, and the forces of another two provinces are arranged on the other defense lines.

“This is the core war zone where the command center is located!”

“The Palace Master established the command center here. Is he using himself as bait? He wants to restrain the main force of the Holy Wave Race…”

“Perhaps there are other arrangements.” Xu Qing lacked relevant information and didn’t have a particularly good understanding of the plan.

However, this didn’t affect his familiarity with the battlefield.

After dividing the battlefield into war zones, Xu Qing divided the majestic area he was in into over a hundred parts.

This method of division made it easier for him to understand the battlefield faster.

“Fenghai County is in the Western Area and the Holy Wave Race is in the Eastern Area.”

“At this moment, the West 1, West 3, West 4, and West 8 areas are close to the edge of the golden net and are on standby. They are prepared to replace the army fighting in the East 5, East 7, and East 11 areas at any time.”

“West Two and West Five have mobilized the war puppets, and three areas are receiving them.”

“As for the eastern area where the Holy Wave Race is located, the dozens of zones, namely the third, sixth, fourteenth, seventeenth, and so on, are also changing their positions and formations. East 2 has become more conspicuous because of this…”

“That’s not right. The Holy Wave Race’s formation has transformed into an arrow. The East 2 is the arrowhead!”

Xu Qing observed the entire process. After making a quick judgment, he abruptly looked at the East 2 outside the golden net.

After the Holy Wave Race’s formation changed, tens of thousands of broken hands appeared from the ground.

Each of them grabbed a huge iron chain and rushed out. As the iron chain was pulled, a huge explosion reverberated through the sky, causing the vortex to tear even wider.

More black snow poured down from there like an avalanche, heading straight for the battlefield.

Just as Xu Qing’s expression changed, the huge Emperor Sword floating in the sky above the Fenghai County’s defense line suddenly shone. It was as though it had been waiting for this moment.

A large number of sword lights whistled out, transforming into a sea of swords that headed straight for the vortex in the sky.

It instantly got close and exploded, causing the vortex to roar in pain.

As for the large amount of black snow that poured out, they also rolled back under the sea of swords.

At the same time, at the highest point in the sky of the Fenghai County’s army, the huge Dao bell that was floating around a large number of bronze coffins emitted a vast and majestic bell ring.

It exuded ancientness and an aura that could shatter everything.

The bell rang seven times. Every time it rang out, it distorted the battlefield. Countless Holy Wave Race cultivators’ bodies directly collapsed and shattered into pieces. At the same time, numerous illusory figures were revealed on the battlefield.

Those illusory shadows didn’t look like the Holy Wave Race. They looked like mantises and were hundreds of feet tall. Their bodies emitted special anomalous substances that invaded the places they were at while they attacked the human army.

Xu Qing knew that they were harvesters formed by the rhombus-shaped magic artifacts of the Black Heaven Race.

In their special state, they couldn’t be sensed and were extremely difficult to deal with. The Taboo power of the golden net had to be used to mark them.

However, at that moment, under the pressure of the bell, their figures were revealed.

At the next instant, the human war puppets that had been on standby for a long time instantly rushed out.

The ten thousand puppets transformed into ten thousand giants and charged into the battlefield, heading straight for the harvesters.

War was a game of chess.

Defense could turn into offense at any time, and there was more than one method to do it.

The overall situation looked complicated but in reality, it was very simple. It was just that the price to pay for every step of the millstone’s operation was too great.

Regardless of right or wrong, it needed flesh.
