Chapter 1549: Chapter 50, Counting Stars
The Sanctuary Powerhouse was interrupted while casting magic but did not beco angry.
Just now, amidst the chaos, the Centipede Army has already charged forward.
It is clear that the release of the forbidden spell is a pretense; their true purpose is to create an opportunity for their own forces to storm the city.
Sanctuary Powerhouses are formidable, but they value their lives even more.
Using the forbidden spell is a considerable expenditure, even for them. During its casting, they are at their weakest.
The Strongn of the Human Race have not appeared on the battlefield, but that doesn’t an they don’t exist. If a hidden powerhouse of equal rank were to ambush, it could be fatal for the Centipedes.
Moreover, intervening in secular wars is already highly taboo.
If they were to slaughter ordinary soldiers recklessly, it might completely infuriate the Human Race, the overlord, with consequences they cannot bear.
Essentially, this battle is a test for both sides.
The outco of the war will determine the future relationship between the two species.
In this context, when the Strongn of the Human Race make a move, the Sanctuary Powerhouses of the Giant Foot Centipede imdiately cease their spellcasting accordingly.
Through nurical superiority and fighting with their lives, they have finally managed to hold off the enemy’s Sanctuary.
The defending army had just breathed a sigh of relief when the bloody battle unfolded.
The entanglent of nurous top powerhouses and enemy Sanctuary directly led to a lack of high-end combat power within the army.
But this is only a small issue; the lack of individual combat strength is compensated by group tactics.
The ti to test the training results has arrived!
The defending troops cooperated in battle based on local neighborhood units, and once the two armies beca entangled, the Centipede Soldiers soon felt the pressure.
Even though the forces engaged in close combat were almost equal on both sides, they felt surrounded by enemies from all directions, and a mont of carelessness could cost them their lives.
After half an hour of stalemate, the breach in the city wall was not only prevented but pushed back by the defending army.
Witnessing this scene, Fifth Legion Commander Skinner roared, “Do not retreat! Break through the enemy’s defense line for !”
“The first to breach the city shall be promoted three ranks, rewarded with five thousand, and a broodmother…”
“The supervisory team, keep a close watch; those who dare retreat will be executed without rcy!”
As the main army of the Giant Foot Centipede Clan, the Fifth Legion is renowned for its prowess in assaulting fortifications.
The honor earned by the blood of the ancestors is not allowed to be tarnished.
Even though Skinner knows the enemy before him is extraordinary, he has no choice now.
Upon hearing the orders, the Centipede Soldiers launched another charge. However, victory in war is not earned by re passion; their bravery matched that of the defending troops.
All are veteran soldiers from the Orc Battlefield, accustod to grand battles. Though the Centipede Army is fierce, it is not enough to intimidate them.
One defending soldier fell, followed by another filling the gap, as if it were a chanical assembly line, with no concept of fear.
As ti ticked by, the face of the Centipede Marshal, stationed in the Central Army, grew increasingly grim.
The place before them is but a remote county of the Human Race, with walls likely built to defend against beast tides, hardly durable.
Yet such a commonplace defense has held off the main force of the Giant Foot Centipede Clan for several hours, with not the slightest sign of decay.
If the Human Race is truly so powerful, there’s no point dreaming of lands under the sun; retreating to the Earth Core World to prevent invasion is the wise course.
Nearby strategist Six Wings, no longer filled with earlier ambition, had sweat appearing on his forehead.
“Marshal, this must be due to the Humans’ prior preparations. Otherwise, how could such a non-military area have so many elites!”
“There’s no need to worry excessively; once this defense line is breached, subsequent battles will ease.”
“It’s heard that this Kingdom is the third strongest nation of the Human Race; given their prior preparations, having this capability is quite normal.”
This is the most reasonable explanation and the one most acceptable to them.
The only unreasonable part is: with prior preparation, why is there no high-ranking Sanctuary overseeing the army?
It’s impossible this Kingdom has no Peak Strong, right?
If so, the Human Race’s status as the continent’s overlord is inflated, with any random kingdom squeezing into the top three.
Coincidental hindrances seem reasonable, but the coincidence factor is overly substantial.
“Inform Skinner to attack at all costs!”
“Order the Third Legion, Sixth Army, The Seventeen Legion… to launch attacks from other areas.”
“I refuse to believe today that the Human Race can seal the entire defense line tightly!”
Centipede Marshal resolutely ordered.
The battle had ignited, and further contemplation served no purpose now.
For the Giant Foot Centipede Clan, the outco of this skirmish directly affects whether they can establish a foothold in the surface world.
The lack of intelligence remains too severe; even with Earth Core race invading the surface world for days, little valuable information was acquired.
Had they truly understood the power disparities among the Human Race nations, they would not choose to clash with the Alpha Kingdom at this mont.
Even if they intended to test the Human Race’s strength, they should start with the neighboring Black Forest Kingdom.
The charge horn sounded once more, and the flas of war spread along the Blood Moon Defense Line.
This is the crucial node, but not the only strategic point.
Breaking through the defense line from other places, circling to the rear for a pincer attack is also a decent option.
With the Commander in Chief’s order for all-out action, the major legions exerted all their skills, launching the fiercest attack on the Blood Moon Defense Line.
A Centipede Soldier fell, and his companions stepped over the corpse, continuing forward with zero hesitation.
