Six people surrounded the Defender of the Realm, consisting of five Void Immortals and one Qi Master from the Elysium of Longevity. However, the battle had just begun. As the only Qi Master, Chen Shilong was targeted by the Defender of the Realm, who launched an attack with the Eight Desolate Divine Fist. Chen Shilong, somewhat overestimating himself, decided to withstand it with his Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel, hoping to test the power of the Defender of the Realm's Eight Desolate Divine Fist.
After all, the Defender of the Realm was a War God, a legendary figure whose strength was undeniable. Anyone who heard about him would undoubtedly want to test their own limits. Chen Shilong was driven by this thought, which led him to confront the Defender of the Realm's Eight Desolate Divine Fist with his Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel. However, as soon as they clashed, he realized how formidable the War God truly was; his strength was unfathomable.
In fact, even the term "unfathomable" was insufficient to describe just how powerful the Defender of the Realm was; it was beyond words.
In Chen Shilong's subconscious, he envisioned an endless realm. Indeed, the might of the War God was boundless and indescribable. Although Chen Shilong was also a Qi Master from the Elysium of Longevity, he felt utterly inadequate in comparison to the Defender of the Realm. At that moment, he felt a sense of dread; if it weren't for the Five Great Void Immortals, he would have already perished.
It was precisely because of the intervention of the Five Great Void Immortals that they joined forces to use their Yin Yuan to block the powerful strike from the Defender of the Realm and rescued Chen Shilong, escorting him to a hillside far away. At this moment, Chen Shilong had yet to fully process what had happened; he remained under the shadow of the War God, unable to escape or turn back. The terror he felt made him tremble.
Chen Shilong was not only a disciple of Yin Yang Gate but also held many other identities: he was a junior disciple of Emperor Huangfu Yi from the Great Qi Dynasty and a commander of its three armies. He had many impressive titles and had seen great events in life; he was indeed someone exceptional.
However, when faced with the might of the War God from the Defender of the Realm, he felt completely powerless and utterly defeated.
After a long while, Chen Shilong finally came to his senses and muttered to himself: "The might of the War God—this is truly what it means to be a War God! It's incredible; he must be at a level comparable to my master Essence. Is this really what a War God is? Unbelievable, simply unbelievable."
In his final thoughts, Chen Shilong repeated "unbelievable" twice, his face filled with shock that spoke volumes about his astonishment.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away in the capital city of Great Zhou Dynasty, tensions were at their peak as the Three Kingdoms Alliance besieged it.
After Lu Chen and others lured away the Defender of the Realm, Lian Chengbi took charge and began issuing orders among their forces. He disregarded everything else and directly commanded an assault on the city walls as per Lu Chen's plan; Lu Chen had already arranged everything beforehand.
Lu Chen's goal was to draw out powerful opponents like the Defender of the Realm while launching an all-out assault on the city from multiple fronts to dismantle Great Zhou Dynasty completely. This day would be recorded in history as one marking its downfall.
With Lian Chengbi's command given, their forces split apart as hundreds of Ape Demons roared forth towards the crowd, displaying their ferocity and rage. With Lian Chengbi's signal, they charged toward the city gate tower.
On top of that tower, officials were already trembling in fear and dared not insult anyone further; they hurriedly descended under soldier protection to find places to hide. As hundreds of Ape Demons surged forward, they leaped onto the city gate tower and began wreaking havoc.
The towering ten-zhang Ape Demons unleashed their fury atop the tower; their brutality became evident as they destroyed everything in sight—truly terrifying. The Great Zhou Dynasty began its counterattack as archers and stone-throwing siege engines were rolled out to bombard them.
A barrage of arrows and rolling stones rained down on the Ape Demon. However, the Ape Demon, with its tough skin and thick flesh, treated such attacks as mere tickles, completely disregarding them. Instead, it charged forward, destroying the siege engines and slaughtering the archers.
At that moment, a group of soldiers clad in Brilliant Armor, fully encased in hard armor, burst out from the streets. They formed small teams of three to five, pushing what appeared to be a not-so-large but oddly shaped siege engine. These engines were covered in copper spikes; while not as massive as ordinary siege engines, they seemed concentrated and gave off a terrifying aura.
These soldiers were no ordinary troops; they were the Garrison of the Gyeonggi Office, elite among the hundred soldiers, part of the Royal Army specifically tasked with protecting the emperor. However, at this moment, the Great Zhou Dynasty had no choice but to deploy their last trump card. It was unavoidable since Lian Chengbi from the Daiwa Dynasty had come in with lethal intent. The Ape Demon was too fearsome, leaving them with no other option.
Sure enough, as soon as the Gyeonggi Guard Unit took the field, the concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons began firing fiercely. Amidst the booming cannon fire and flashing flames illuminating half the area, powerful Mystic Fire Thunder projectiles struck directly at the Ape Demon.
The power of these concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons was indeed extraordinary. When they hit the city walls, they instantly shattered bricks and stones. Even the Ape Demon could not withstand them and was forced to retreat step by step. This demonstrated that the concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons were exceptionally powerful.
Lian Chengbi sat among his troops and squinted upon witnessing this scene. He realized that this might be the ultimate weapon of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The fact that they had resorted to using it meant that the Yuanmo Army could no longer advance. It seemed that the Great Zhou Dynasty was determined to fight to the death.
However, such weapons surely had vulnerabilities. From the flickering flames, it could be inferred that there were not many of these concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons—probably only a dozen or so—so those soldiers did not dare to act recklessly.
In response, Lian Chengbi waved his hand and immediately summoned over a thousand Fire Sticks to target those controlling the concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons for a frenzied bombardment. With limited quantities of concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder, they could not wipe out all their forces in a short time; this was their opportunity.
Thus, Lian Dashuang brought in Fire Sticks to attack the concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons using their numerical advantage.
This strategy proved effective; soon after, the flashes and cannon fire from over a dozen concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons gradually ceased. It seemed they had made an impact. After all, with enemies on all sides, they could not station all their concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons at the East Gate; defenses were also needed at the North Gate and West Gate. It was estimated that at least one-third of their Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons were stationed at other city gates.
At this moment, with the concentrated Mystic Fire Thunder Cannons suppressed and countless Gyeonggi Provincial Garrison soldiers lost, the Yuanmo Army became ferocious again. They began violently dismantling the city walls with overwhelming force. In no time at all, they reduced entire sections of walls to rubble; this was the might of the Yuanmo Army—no need for cunning schemes when they could simply tear down walls.
With the walls destroyed and more than half of the Great Zhou Dynasty's defending soldiers dead or injured, most remaining soldiers retreated into the city. At this point, they were left dumbfounded; they had likely never witnessed such a battle before—completely disregarding conventional tactics by demolishing walls without any engineering tools. This truly was an unusual army.
Seeing this situation terrified those soldiers who retreated into the city to form another defensive line. However, witnessing such circumstances began to shake their resolve; if even brick walls could not withstand these monsters, what good would a human wall do?
Then Lian Chengbi issued an order for hundreds of thousands of troops to advance together with soaring morale directly into the city, beginning to besiege the Great Zhou Dynasty's soldiers. The seemingly solid capital city was unexpectedly breached in a very short time.
The East Gate has fallen, so it won't be long before the North Gate and West Gate follow suit. On this side of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Chen has given orders to breach the city and directly occupy the imperial palace, seize the imperial seal, and then send troops for a surprise attack from within to assist the Great Qi Dynasty and Korea in breaking through the North Gate and West Gate. Indeed, events are unfolding according to that plan.
After breaching the city gates, the army entered the capital and quickly subdued the remaining soldiers. Some who resisted fiercely were killed, while others surrendered voluntarily. Lian Chengbi did not pursue a policy of extermination because these soldiers were essentially innocent; their only mistake was serving the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had nothing to do with them. Lian Chengbi adhered to Lu Chen's policy of sparing those who surrendered. Among them, most of the Loyalty and Righteousness Sixteen Men from the Defender of the Realm perished in the chaos.
Subsequently, Lian Chengbi led sixty elite members of the Dragon Slayer Legion and several hundred soldiers armed with Fire Sticks to eliminate the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace, charging repeatedly into the imperial palace.
The palace gates were breached one after another. The Imperial Forest Army and Gyeonggi Guard Unit fought desperately, often losing a gate only to reclaim it at great cost in lives, demonstrating a courage beyond ordinary comprehension.
However, their resistance was ultimately futile against the formidable strength of the Dragon Slayer Legion and the Fire Sticks, which were easy to carry yet immensely powerful; they could not withstand such an assault with mere flesh and blood.
The battle continued for half a day until Lian Chengbi finally reached Weiyang Palace, where the emperor held court.
At the entrance of Weiyang Palace was a vast square where a line of Imperial Forest Army soldiers stood covered in blood. Despite their condition, they still appeared ready to resist.
"These men are commendable for their courage, but they have chosen the wrong master. We cannot allow them to surrender; we must kill them all."
Lian Chengbi said this, and then hundreds of Fire Sticks aimed at them began a frenzied barrage.
