Both commanders were surprisingly consistent, neither arranging generals among their charging troops. However, their thoughts differed slightly; Du Jin did not allow the Advanced Knights to engage because he wanted to reserve them to lead their respective teams for a rear ambush, while Liu Guanfeng refrained from deploying his generals due to having too few martial generals and needing to guard against the enemy's charge.
At this moment, the two armies began to clash. The three captains standing behind Guo Xiaotian revealed confident smiles. However, as the two forces collided, their expressions shifted from smiles to neutrality, and finally to anger.
The three Royal Guard leaders had immense faith in their soldiers, as each of them had personally led them. Yet they overlooked one crucial point: elite soldiers must undergo bloody trials to earn the title of elite.
The soldiers led by Liu Guanfeng had been subjected to various beastly assaults on Diaoyu Island every day, where a single misstep could cost them their lives. After emerging from Diaoyu Island, they had also faced numerous battles and most had completed many life-and-death missions within mercenary groups. Such soldiers were incomparable to those veteran troops.
Thus, during the battle, the Golden Hammer Squad charged into the enemy camp first. However, their lethality was not particularly strong; their mission was merely to disrupt the enemy formation. The real reapers of lives were the ten thousand Giant Hammer Corps behind them. These individuals were robust, and each swing of their massive hammers claimed a life.
The veteran soldiers usually held themselves in high regard and did not train rigorously. When faced with such fierce warriors, they initially trembled at the sight. As they were swept aside by the Giant Hammer Corps from behind, the entire Ten Thousand People formation immediately showed signs of collapse.
Seeing this situation, Du Jin no longer expected anything significant from these three hundred men. He waved his command flag, and a million soldiers from the Alliance surged toward Dragon Glory City.
Upon witnessing their movement, Liu Guanfeng was not surprised at all and immediately ordered, "Crossbowmen prepare for a staggered attack."
At this moment, over a hundred air units took off from the walls, carrying a large number of Fire Oil Bombs and stones toward the Alliance. As these Alliance troops reached range, crossbowmen on both the walls and below simultaneously opened fire with Crossbows, Repeater Crossbows, and Giant Crossbows.
Meanwhile, the previously charging Golden Hammer Squad and Giant Hammer Corps quickly returned to encircle the Crossbowmen. Liu Guanfeng then ordered his troops to slowly retreat; only by getting closer to the city gate could they alleviate some defensive pressure.
When Liu Guanfeng led his soldiers near the city gate, he shouted up at Shangguan Junhong above, "Do not open the city gates! We can hold here; unleash all firepower above."
With Liu Guanfeng's command, all defensive mechanisms on the walls began to attack. Below, Liu Guanfeng and his men continued firing bolts from their crossbows while frontline soldiers used their bodies as shields against enemy attacks. Periodically, Liu Guanfeng would rotate out frontline soldiers for rest.
Fortunately, relying on their equipment advantages allowed these soldiers to withstand the assault of a million-strong army without suffering significant casualties. Just then, Liu Guanfeng noticed a group among his soldiers that stood out significantly; both their equipment and mounts were superior to those of ordinary soldiers. These were the Advanced Knights from the Alliance. Liu Guanfeng then instructed Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull beside him: "You three take your men out to intercept those Advanced Knights; do not let them easily approach the city."
After giving his orders, each of the three took three thousand troops and charged out through a bloody path. Liu Guanfeng also commanded his two brothers to prevent Siege Engineers from approaching the walls. Thus, Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu each led a thousand soldiers along the walls to eliminate those Siege Engineers who had just arrived amidst the chaos and were preparing to set up ladders.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng rode Little Black and positioned himself at the front line. With Liu Guanfeng's presence boosting morale among nearby soldiers—after all, they were fighting alongside their idol—and with this one person and two beasts defending together, it made those around him feel somewhat idle.
Because Liu Guanfeng and Little Black were not only launching physical attacks but also casting spells one after another, soon no soldier dared to approach Liu Guanfeng. Everyone kept their distance, watching him or attacking other soldiers.
Liu Guanfeng looked around and realized he had nothing to do with the current situation. He thought to himself, "If you won't come to fight me, then I'll go fight you." He called two people to take his place and then swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji into the crowd.
With Liu Guanfeng's intrusion, the entire Alliance camp was thrown into chaos. To their dismay, they found themselves unable to deal with him at all. At first, when Liu Guanfeng charged into the crowd, he fought fiercely. Although their defenses were tight, it was inevitable that some soldiers would hit him with their weapons. However, Liu Guanfeng wore the final and best creation of Xuanwu, which meant that strikes against him barely touched his armor; he relied solely on the energy membrane on his armor. Even so, Liu Guanfeng was afraid of scratching his armor since it was the last gift left by his master. Thus, he simply activated his Divine Knight shield, making it impossible for ordinary soldiers to touch him. This allowed Liu Guanfeng to respond more calmly to various attacks.
Under Liu Guanfeng's assault, the Alliance began to show signs of collapse. Some soldiers started to retreat in an attempt to escape the battle, but there were still a few Grand Marshals supervising from behind, so no one dared to be the first to withdraw; they merely hung back and provided support.
At this moment, Du Jin noticed something amiss and approached Guo Xiaotian, saying, "Your Majesty, the situation is becoming increasingly dire. The enemy's martial generals are too powerful. If we continue like this..."
Guo Xiaotian understood Du Jin's meaning and instructed the three captains of the Royal Guard beside him, "You three go and take down that kid on the black mount in the middle."
The three had long been restless; seeing their soldiers suffer defeat made them ashamed to face Guo Xiaotian. Now that they had a chance to redeem themselves, they wasted no time. The three guards brandished their weapons and urged their mounts toward Liu Guanfeng.
At that moment, Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu charged toward the city gate with their soldiers. From a distance, they saw three figures rushing out from beside Guo Xiaotian, seemingly heading straight for their Third Brother. This was unacceptable; if their father found out that his younger brother was being attacked by three people while two others did not come to help, they would surely face severe consequences upon returning home.
Thus, both brothers instructed the nearby soldiers, "You continue to intercept those Siege Engineers; we must not let them set up the siege ladders." Then they spurred their mounts toward Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng paid no attention to these five people; his focus was entirely on the Advanced Knights on the battlefield as they posed the greatest danger in Dragon Glory City. After injuring one Advanced Knight who fled, he was searching for his next target when suddenly a path opened up before him as soldiers moved aside. Their swift actions startled Liu Guanfeng as he thought a giant beast might be approaching.
However, upon closer inspection, he realized it was not a beast but three individuals who appeared to be under fifty years old—one wielding a staff and two wielding axes—mounted on Eighth Rank high-level magical beasts. Yet seeing their expressions gave Liu Guanfeng an indescribable feeling; after thinking for a moment, he finally understood—it was a desire to strike them.
These three stood before Liu Guanfeng with an air of superiority over him, tilting their heads back and looking down at him. This perspective made Liu Guanfeng very uncomfortable. Just as he prepared to strike back, he noticed a commotion beside him as Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu rushed over.
Seeing his two older brothers reach him so quickly warmed Liu Guanfeng's heart; what is most precious in this world? Family ties. The fact that his brothers could find him amidst the chaos only showed how much they cared for his safety.
With his brothers' arrival boosting his confidence further, it wasn't fear of the three opponents that stirred within Liu Guanfeng but rather excitement from familial bonds.
"Brother, it's been a long time since we've fought side by side; let's have some fun today."
"Of course! Why else are we here? You take care of the one with the staff in the middle; my Second Brother and I will handle the other two. Let's see who can kill faster."
"Brother, you must be the slowest."
The three brothers exchanged words, causing the faces of the three captains across from them to change dramatically. Since entering Guardian Nation, no one had ever dared to speak to them like this. It felt less like a battle and more like a division of spoils, with each claiming what belonged to them.
After exchanging glances, the three captains activated their shields simultaneously, wanting to show the opposing trio that they were Divine-Level Experts, not just ordinary folks buying groceries.
The Six People exchanged looks again before launching their attacks at the same time. In an instant, three pairs of Divine-Level Experts clashed together. With the engagement of these Six People, other soldiers actively cleared a large area for them, although the siege continued unabated.
Despite the large number of attackers, the focus of the battlefield shifted entirely to these six. Even those involved in the siege were less enthusiastic; witnessing six Divine-Level Experts fighting was something most people would never see again in their lifetime.
Even those at the back, like Guo Xiaotian and Du Jin, craned their necks to get a better view. According to prior arrangements, Liu Guanfeng faced off against the central captain, who was also the leader of the three captains and had strength close to that of a mid-level Divine-Level Expert. However, Liu Guanfeng was now nearing the peak of Divine Knight strength, and with his equipment and mount factors, he was not a match for Liu Guanfeng.
The two fought vigorously with sticks and spears. Gradually, it became apparent to the opponent where the problem lay; every time Liu Guanfeng struck with his Fang Tian Hua Ji, it left marks on the opponent's iron staff but did not break it. In truth, Liu Guanfeng did not want to make his two older brothers look bad; if he wished to kill his opponent, it would only take a few exchanges.
At this moment, since Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu were closer in strength to their opponents, their battle was much more intense than that of Liu Guanfeng. Fortunately, their martial skills were significantly stronger than those of their opponents, so after several exchanges, the three adversaries found themselves in perilous situations.
Just then, Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu seemed as if they had taken stimulants and attacked together. One wielded an Iron Spear like a hundred snakes emerging from their holes, while the other swung a Wolf Tooth Club as if calling down thunder from heaven. Instantly, sweat poured down the faces of the two captains opposite them as they became flustered.
Finally, one captain was struck by the Wolf Tooth Club, causing his armor to be smashed off and revealing his muscular torso. The spikes of the club left several marks on him.
The other captain was pierced through his soft ribs by the iron spear, resulting in a gash that bled profusely while his upper garment was also torn away by the Iron Spear. Thus appeared before everyone a bleeding Divine Knight.
