On the boundless battlefield, one space portal after another was being opened.
Then, massive alloy beasts were continuously transported out of the portals.
These huge alloy beasts began rapidly transforming and assembling as soon as they appeared.
One after another, even more colossal alloy weapons were constantly taking shape in this process.
Such a scene was clearly unexpected by the Ice Soul Domain.
According to their plan, if the war was a maneuver battle between two armies, they wouldn't be a match for Emperor Star.
So, they would quickly retreat to various cities and towers, relying on major cities, towers, and their own mountain gates to engage in positional warfare against the invaders from Emperor Star.
However, the reality was completely different from what everyone imagined.
Gu Qijue, the Supreme Leader of Emperor Star, did not order a continued pursuit but instead began the continuous transportation of large-scale technology weapons from the rear.
In the sky, a large number of interstellar battleships had begun to charge up.
On the ground, missile bases were being rapidly set up one after another.
At the rear, giant war mechas, as tall as dozens of floors, were also being swiftly assembled and completed.
The Frostbound Demigod, along with the 170 billion cultivator army of the five war zones of the Ice Soul Domain, witnessed these changes with growing unease.
However, they did not rush out at this moment.
Although they didn't understand the principles of Emperor Star's technology weapons, they had considerable confidence in their own arrays and various magical treasures.
Gu Qijue stood proudly in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the five war zones.
Beside him was another demigod-level combat power of Emperor Star, Di Kui Demigod.
Di Kui Demigod looked at the countless missile bases below and commented with a smile, "Using missiles for scorched-earth tactics like this, I wonder how much it'll cost."
Gu Qijue nodded, "It's something we can't avoid; otherwise, we'd be at a disadvantage when besieging cities."
"If they hide within their arrays, our combat troops can't do anything to them, while they can inflict damage on us."
"We'll first use missiles to break their mountain-protection arrays, city-protection arrays, then let the giant mechas and vehicles charge, and finally press the main forces."
"Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, such an attack can thoroughly defeat the Ice Soul Domain."
"Afterward, the remnant forces will either gather somewhere and continue to resist or a demigod battle will erupt between our three against their four."
Di Kui Demigod nodded, understanding the correctness of Gu Qijue's words.
But he raised a concern, "What if the Black Wind Domain sends more demigod powerhouses for support, creating a five-against-three situation?"
Gu Qijue chuckled, "I have two powerful trump cards that I haven't used yet."
"In a critical situation, I can hold them off one-on-three, or even one-on-five."
He was referring to two other high-tier combat forms.
As time went on, he was close to mastering a fourth high-tier combat form.
He continued, "Besides, the Black Wind Domain wouldn't dare to do that!"
"The Black Wind Domain has already sent a demigod, many Great Emperors, Quasi-Emperors, and a large conventional combat force to support the Ice Soul Domain."
"If they continue sending powerhouses here, the Black Wind Domain would be a defenseless treasury for surrounding forces."
"At that point, the Black Wind Domain would be torn to pieces by the hungry wolves around."
Gu Qijue paused, "Of course, it's possible the Black Wind Domain could reach an agreement with neighboring forces to maintain restraint and not act against them."
"In that situation, revealing one or even two trump cards would still suppress the situation."
With Gu Qijue's words, Di Kui Demigod could be completely at ease.
All the way from the first war zone to the fifth, missile bases were rapidly being set up.
The two resource exploration teams of the Infinite Group, the Gu Yinling Team and the Celestial Punishment Team, had already withdrawn.
They withdrew at the same time as the Ice Soul Domain Alliance Army retreated.
Otherwise, they would have been captured by the Ice Soul Domain Alliance Army.
However, they didn't retreat to the rear but continued resource collection outside the combat zone.
As time passed, message after message was being relayed to Gu Qijue's communicator.
Each message indicated the completion of another missile base setup.
Once the majority of the missile bases were completed, Gu Qijue wasted no time and decisively gave the order.
His authoritative and imperious voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"All combat units of Emperor Star, heed my command."
"Maintain continuous saturation attacks from all missile bases."
"Fire!"
The moment the word "fire" left Gu Qijue's lips, an awe-inspiring and spectacular scene unfolded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
An overwhelming wave of missiles, trailing blue plumes, shot toward mountain gates, towers, and cities one after another.
The Frostbound Demigod of the Ice Soul Domain did not hesitate upon witnessing this scene.
A commanding voice spread to all corners, "Awaken all Array Spirits! Bring forth all the Defense Treasures!"
Upon receiving the order, vibrant light and shadow formed various enchanting Array Spirits above the top-level protective arrays.
Some Array Spirits took the form of a giant Profound Turtle, while more powerful ones appeared as the legendary Black Tortoise.
Other Array Spirits took the form of a giant Golden Bell.
There were also Array Spirits manifesting as Divine Beings wielding giant axes.
The image of the Divine Being, as tall as dozens of floors, would slice missiles in half with its massive axe as they screamed past.
Some Array Spirits fought bare-handed yet were equally formidable.
With a single grasp, they would capture a missile and crush it!
However, not all grand arrays possessed a spirit.
Some arrays, with limited strength, shattered completely after enduring a dozen missiles.
Cultivators hiding behind the grand arrays soared into the sky.
Those slower in reaction were directly lifted skyward by successive missiles.
They had been eagerly anticipating the Emperor Star's combat units to siege the cities in the most primitive manner, sacrificing human lives.
Little did they expect that times had changed!
Using missiles for scorched-earth tactics was far more efficient than relying on human lives for sieging.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
From thousands of missile bases, various types of missiles continuously soared skyward, relentlessly bombarding numerous defensive arrays.
Although many missiles were intercepted by Array Spirits, the Ice Soul Domain Alliance Army once again found themselves at a disadvantage.
At this rate, the destruction of the Defense Arrays seemed only a matter of time.
