Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1224 Chaos
"Good timing!"
Sun Ce looked at Clauel approaching him and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
He was not afraid of any challenge; on the contrary, he was afraid that Clauel would hide in the back and not make a move, which would make it very difficult to win.
But conversely, in a head-on confrontation, he was confident he could crush Claudie.
Claire is indeed very strong, but he is still far inferior to the strong individuals Sun Ce has encountered.
He dared to challenge Lü Bu and Guan Yu, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of a strange general.
Sun Ce stared intently in Clauel's direction, leading his personal guards to unleash their full power and charge towards Clauel.
The alien army's revenge counterattack is indeed troublesome. Their resistance is visibly increasing, and Sun Ce is not very confident that he can completely crush the alien army.
If this wave fails to break through in one fell swoop, it won't be as easy to break through again once the enemy retreats and joins forces with another army.
Even with Chen Dao by his side, a steady and methodical approach would likely lead to victory, but Sun Ce didn't want to drag things out any longer.
"Kill you, and victory is mine!"
Sun Ce looked into Claudie's eyes, and only one thought remained in his mind.
There's nothing more to say. If we can't deal with the legion, then we'll deal with you, the legion commander. Once the legion commander falls, the legion will fall with him.
"General Yue, provide reinforcements immediately!"
Sun Ce called for support from Yue Jin in the rear. Yue Jin did not hesitate and immediately fired a long-range sniper shot at the spot marked by Sun Ce with his divine will.
The arrows sliced through the Jie Fan army with absolute precision, shattering all the enemies in their path and clearing a clear road for them.
Sun Ce roared and charged toward Clauel.
Both sides wielded their weapons and hurled them at each other. Clauel coughed up blood, while Sun Ce was forced to retreat. Clauel's vengeful counterattack was stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
While Sun Ce severely injured Claire, he was also severely injured by Claire's retaliatory counterattack.
In the next instant, all the elite archers and crossbowmen that Claudie had assembled beforehand launched an attack on Sun Ce.
However, Claudio did not see Sun Ce's fear, but only the mockery in Sun Ce's eyes.
If he hadn't prepared at all, why would he have dressed so conspicuously?
"Divine Might Dharma Form!" Sun Ce revealed his trump card.
The divine form was like the most solid armor, blocking all the arrows.
Sun Ce was never a brainless brute.
He calculated it very clearly: if you can fire several waves, I might not be able to stop them all, but if you want to kill me, then you can only fire close enough, and close enough means you can only shoot one or two waves.
"I'm taking your head!"
Sun Ce deflected the second wave of arrows aimed at his vital points with his spear, withstood the rain of arrows on other parts of his body, and then roared as he thrust his spear at Clauel.
As for Claire's desperate counterattack, Sun Ce simply chose to withstand it head-on.
It wasn't that they couldn't dodge Claire's attacks, nor that they couldn't block them or defeat him; it was simply that there was no need for it. Sun Ce didn't want to waste time. The current situation required a quick victory, and every second they delayed would slightly decrease their chances of winning.
Nothing can boost morale and destroy the enemy's fighting power more than beheading the enemy's leader. Since he had this awareness when he discovered the enemy, killing the enemy as quickly as possible was the most correct choice Sun Ce made based on his intuition.
At this moment, Sun Ce's warhorse reared up, and he raised his spear high, his imposing presence reaching its peak. The several arrows stuck in his body did not make Sun Ce look disheveled; instead, they revealed a resolute determination to fight to the death.
Against this backdrop of imposing presence, Claudie understood almost instantly that Sun Ce was determined to withstand the attack and kill him, and his heart skipped a beat.
The attack that was originally intended to force the opponent to retreat was now somewhat hesitant, after all, he didn't want to die, nor did he want to play the game of trading injury for life with Sun Ce.
However, in that moment of hesitation, Sun Ce seized the opportunity, his spear streaking like a meteor, piercing through Claudie's chest and shattering half of his body.
At this moment, Clauel's face was filled with shock. His plan, his scheme, had clearly not gone wrong, so why did it end so suddenly, without even buying him any time?
Clauel died almost in resentment.
At the same time, Sun Ce reached out and grabbed Claudie's head.
"You may be a qualified officer, but you are not a qualified warrior. How dare you be distracted when a formidable enemy is at hand!"
Sun Ce held up Cluel's head and then used a special means of communication to announce to all directions, "The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender now!"
Clauel's guards rushed forward like madmen to snatch Clauel's body, but without Clauel's restraint, Sun Ce unleashed his inner energy and delivered a powerful blow that forced Clauel's guards back.
After taking this step back, the idea of dying for Claire that I had originally harbored was largely eliminated. After all, whether I could kill him if I rushed up was a question, and besides, Claire was already dead.
Just as Sun Ce had thought, Clauel was the backbone of the legion. After Clauel fell, the fighting spirit of the other aliens was greatly diminished.
After Clauel's guards were forced back by Sun Ce's spear, they turned and left. With Clauel dead, there was no reason for them to continue fighting.
Sun Ce, his body riddled with arrows and carrying Clauel's severed head, posed a significant threat to the alien army.
In addition, Sun Ce's own monarch talent effect caused the Yiren army, which was originally able to resist the fierce attack of the Jie Fan army, to lose morale and collapse rapidly the moment they saw this scene.
Among them were some of Claire's die-hard loyalists, who launched a frenzied attack on Sun Ce upon witnessing this scene, but to no avail.
The Jiefan Army was already able to suppress the enemy, but after Claudie's death, these soldiers even lost the power to retaliate, and their resistance became even weaker.
Sun Ce also had a large number of soldiers around him, whose morale and elite status were superior to those of Clauel's soldiers.
In the ensuing melee, Cluel's soldiers, initially prepared to die, were able to put up a fight and inflict some casualties.
Now, with Cluel's death, the soldiers' resistance has plummeted.
"Charge!"
Chen Dao gave a loud command, as Cthulhu himself was already somewhat flustered by Clauel's death.
Clauel's death was completely unexpected by the Inhumans, and their entire vanguard was destroyed.
The front, which had been barely holding on, descended into chaos due to the rout of Cluel's unit.
After killing the group of slow-moving alien soldiers, Sun Ce looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and couldn't help but let out a long howl.
A resounding victory! Another resounding victory.
The average strength of the Alien Legion is actually quite good; they are capable of fighting against the combination of Sun Ce and Chen Dao.
However, the impact of Sun Ce's killing of Clauel was too great, directly causing the collapse of the entire Vanguard of the Otherworlders.
When Yue Jin rushed over, Sun Ce and Chen Dao had already gathered the captured alien prisoners. "General Sun, your wisdom and foresight are truly admirable!" Yue Jin looked at the alien soldiers they had captured and bowed to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's decision was indeed brilliant; this attack dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.
The annihilation of the vanguard was a devastating blow.
"General Yue, would you dare to trust me one more time?" Sun Ce looked intently at Yue Jin.
He had another incredibly audacious idea: to follow behind these routed soldiers and launch a surprise attack on their main force.
From these prisoners, Sun Ce and his men learned that there was a large force behind them, and they were just the vanguard clearing the way.
However, before the road could even be paved, they suffered a crushing defeat.
Sun Ce sensed an opportunity in this.
Since the main force of the opposing army was in the rear, while their vanguard was routed and retreated.
What will the other side do? Advance step by step?
Or are they just itching to turn the tables?
Whatever it may be, they will inevitably lower their guard, having the illusion that the vanguard has already stepped on a landmine and they are now safe and sound.
Sun Ce is now looking to seize this opportunity to deliver another decisive blow to the Yiren army, which will significantly reduce the difficulty of defense later on.
Sun Ce was eager to persuade Chen Dao and Yue Jin.
Chen Dao wholeheartedly agreed with Sun Ce's proposal, while Yue Jin continued to hesitate.
His emotions told him he should trust Sun Ce, but his reason told him that directly attacking the enemy's central army was suicidal.
Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground and the prisoners captured, Yue Jin's emotions finally overwhelmed his reason, and he decided to go crazy with Sun Ce.
"General Sun, please give the order!"
After Yue Jin stated his position, Chen Dao directly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Sun Ce and said...
"Alright, let's rest for half an hour, then we'll set off immediately!"
Sun Ce's eyes gleamed with excitement. They might be about to achieve great things this time. Breaking the 100,000 mark from 20,000 would be quite a remarkable feat.
Upon receiving the news, the Extraordinary Marshal was furious. He couldn't understand how the vanguard could have been ambushed and even the legion commander had died on the spot.
But facts speak louder than words. After extracting the memories of the defeated soldiers, it was discovered that Claudie was indeed dead.
"Send word to Rusgili: if he can't take down the other side, he doesn't need to come back!"
The Marshal of the Extraordinary issued the order in anger, but after pacing back and forth, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Claudie was the rising star he had seen, but he never expected him to die on the battlefield.
"Recruit another 50,000 elite troops to support Rusgili. At all costs, we must wipe out these guys." Marshal Yiren sent out another wave of reinforcements.
Although Rusgili had not yet encountered any enemies, Marshal Inhuman had a sense of unease, so he did not hesitate to redeploy another 50,000 elite troops to ensure the possibility of success.
On the other side, Cthulhu, who had successfully reunited with Rusgil, told Rusgil everything that had happened on the battlefield, and emphasized his own conjectures.
"You mean that the officer in golden armor is good at intimidating people with his power and is also an expert in decapitation tactics?" Rusjili, who was in charge of the central army, frowned.
What a commander dislikes most is this kind of troop situation, where the other side doesn't reason with you at all and just comes in with a barrage of attacks.
This type of opponent is the most troublesome for general large-scale army commanders.
One wrong move and you'll be overturned by the other side.
Rusjili was very confident in his abilities, but when faced with an opponent like Sun Ce, whose decapitation tactics were always effective, he still felt a chill down his spine.
"Enemy attack!"
Just as Rusjili was trying to learn more details, the scout's roar made him stand up abruptly.
"How dare he!"
Rusjili was both surprised and furious. He hadn't expected that Sun Ce would actually come to deal with him after the successful ambush, instead of retreating to the vicinity of their camp.
"I'll stop him!" Upon seeing this, Cthulhu immediately led his personal guards and rushed towards the direction where the riot was taking place.
Strictly speaking, he didn't lose; he was just dragged down by Clauel's death.
Before this, no one, from top to bottom, had ever imagined that Claire would die so easily at the hands of Sun Ce.
Sun Ce didn't feel anything different; Clauel was just a slightly troublesome problem for him.
Even Claudio's counterattack before his death caused him real damage.
Revenge and retaliation are going too far.
Although Sun Ce swiftly killed Claudie, he was also seriously injured.
"A defeated foe like you dares to return?" Sun Ce laughed mockingly when he saw Cthulhu. "Thank you for leading the way!"
"You're courting death!" Cthulhu sensed Sun Ce's weakened state and immediately ordered an attack.
He had previously guessed that Sun Ce had used some kind of explosive move, and that using such a move would inevitably cause some side effects.
Having been led astray before, he dared not turn back, fearing that Sun Ce would catch up and leave him behind.
But now, they are surrounded by an army of over 80,000. If he can hold off Sun Ce for a short while, the remaining 80,000 soldiers will surround Sun Ce directly.
We'll settle all our old and new scores then.
He wanted to take Sun Ce's head as a sacrifice to Claudius.
They didn't have much affection for each other before, but they ultimately sacrificed themselves while fighting side by side.
He felt it was necessary to avenge his comrade-in-arms.
Sun Ce didn't know what Cthulhu was thinking, but since he dared to appear in front of him, he wouldn't give up his attack.
Sun Ce spurred his horse and brandished his spear, instantly killing several of the strange soldiers, but the sharp-eyed Cthulhu noticed something amiss with Sun Ce.
This is a completely different level from before; the moment they make a move, their breathing becomes extremely chaotic.
"Looks like you can't replicate the miracle anymore!" Cthulhu sneered, swinging his spear at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce did not refute this; his current condition was indeed not very good.
But this is war, not a martial arts contest. He doesn't need to defeat all his opponents; he only needs to muddy the waters. (End of Chapter)
