Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chen Dao stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Houtu's army crushed all the aliens who had just gained a foothold on the city wall with a ferocious and overwhelming force.

It was like a torrent that swept away a sandcastle; there was no resistance whatsoever, only crushing.

The entire city wall was littered with severed limbs and broken bodies; the brutal scene chilled Chen Dao to the bone.

"How can you be so strong?" Chen Dao asked Ji Jian in disbelief.

He had seen the Military Soul Legion before, but the Houtu Legion's combat power was a bit too much.

Wasn't the Houtu Legion supposed to be a support-type military spirit legion?

How can their combat power be so explosive?

Chen Dao was 100% certain that in a one-on-one battle between the two legions, Bai Er's elite troops would be kicked to death by Hou Tu's legion.

“Strong? We’re not strong at all!” Ji Jian sighed and patted Chen Dao on the shoulder.

"Listen to me, go back and practice with Huang Tian properly, and you'll understand everything!"

Chen found it hard to understand, but he nodded nonetheless.

"You guys go and rest first. We'll try to take turns. There are just too many people on the other side. We'll probably have to hold out for many days!"

Ji Jian gave a few casual instructions and then began to lead the soldiers of the Houtu Legion to add to the city's defenses. Various stones were placed at the foot of the city walls, with the intention of using them as siege stones to assist in the defense of the city.

"I led them to storm the city walls."

At the foot of the city wall, Thea spoke to Rusgili, whose face was dark.

Rusjili's efforts were in vain, but they did manage to see the fighting strength of the Houtu Legion, so it wasn't entirely useless.

Because she saw things clearly, Thea decided to lead her men in a charge. Ordinary cannon fodder was no longer of any use; only elite troops could fight against Houtu's army.

Now, the army has surrounded this city that appeared out of nowhere, but they can't find any weaknesses and have no way to attack it.

The feints from other directions can only provide distraction and do not pose much of a threat.

Ultimately, their only remaining option is to confront the issue head-on.

"Let's go." Rusjili looked at the terracotta warriors of the Houtu Legion on the city wall, who were like miniature giants, and seemed to have aged several years.

He had planned everything meticulously, thinking it was foolproof, but he never expected to be defeated by the other party in such a simple and straightforward way.

But retreat is out of the question; they've only lost some cannon fodder. They can afford to lose. The real war is about to begin.

"By the Queen Mother of the West!"

Thea roared and, wielding her sword and shield, led a mixed force of Celestials and Extraordinary Peoples charging toward the city wall.

At the same time, numerous demonic beasts in the sky began to approach and circle, waiting for the soldiers on the city wall to make a mistake.

"By the decree of the Queen Mother of the West, conquer this city!"

Thea rushed to the foot of the city wall, her sword and shield clashed, and a blue-green light burst forth, completely enveloping the surroundings.

"Both physical strength and internal energy are being depleted!"

"Something is absorbing our vital energy!"

Almost instantly, the Houtu Legion figured out Thea's ability: this wide-area weakening effect, though slow, was quite annoying.

"Do you want me to deny this power?" Chen Dao asked, feeling the loss of his own essence and spirit.

"No need, this little trick is nothing to us!" Ji Jian calmly refused Chen Dao's request for help.

"Fall rocks!" Ji Jian ordered, and the counterattack began according to the original plan.

Huge stones were hurled from the city wall, their immense kinetic energy instantly killing the elite warriors below upon impact.

Even a mere glancing blow can shatter bones and tendons; the terrifying force instantly obliterates any resistance.

With a roar, Thea charged toward the ladder, shield raised. The shield deflected the boulder as she leaped several times, quickly ascending the ladder.

"Kill!" With a sweeping sword strike, Xia deflected several spears thrusting at her, then leaped forward, knocking aside several Houtu soldiers in front of her.

"So tough?" Xia was shocked. After rushing up the city wall, she found that the Houtu Legion was incredibly tough. She was actually suppressed by the combined efforts of more than a dozen Houtu soldiers.

If she hadn't been so strong, she might have been killed here.

Fortunately, she attracted attention, and many elite Celestials and Extraordinary People seized the opportunity to leap up and gather around Thea, roaring as they began to fight.

Other soldiers from Houtu's army also surrounded this direction, but with Xiya leading the way, the alien army quickly gathered a considerable number of men here.

Chen Dao looked at Ji Jian, who remained as steady as a mountain, with some surprise. Was the other party doing this on purpose, gathering most of the elite aliens near a section of the city wall, intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop?

Thea was suppressed and had no time to observe her surroundings, but Chen Dao, standing outside, could see everything clearly.

The soldiers of Houtu's army were not defeated, but retreated step by step.

But as Chen Dao watched, he felt something was wrong. Half of the city wall had already been ceded, and Chen Dao couldn't figure out what Ji Jian was planning to do.

It was as if they had really been driven back.

"What exactly are you planning to do?" Chen Dao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "If this continues, the entire section of the city wall will be lost."

"Don't rush!" Ji Jian said calmly.

"You should know that we built this city!"

A smile appeared on Ji Jian's face. The entire city was built by Hou Tu's army, so they had long prepared their killing move.

The more of Thea and her group gather, the better their performance will be in the near future, and the heavier the blow to the morale of the opposing side will be.

The elite troops of the aliens fought with increasing ferocity and even began to cheer. They had almost captured most of the city wall and were about to drive the soldiers of Houtu's army off the city wall.

"That's about enough. It's time to put an end to everything!"

When Houtu's army completely retreated from the city wall, Ji Jian's face revealed a cold killing intent, and the entire section of the city wall suddenly collapsed.

Thea had a sudden inspiration and jumped off the city wall.

"boom!"

The deafening roar made Thea turn her head to look back. In the instant the entire section of the city wall collapsed, it transformed into two torrents that collided and crushed all the celestial beings and otherworldly beings on the city wall.

After the roaring stopped, the entire section of the city wall was stained with blood, silently telling the story of what had just happened.

"This..." Chen Dao gasped, he never expected Ji Jian's killing move to be revealed in this way.

"We can only use it once. They weren't on guard this time, but it won't be so easy next time!" Ji Jian's gaze fell on Xiya outside the city.

The opponent actually jumped off the city wall a second before the danger arrived; this divine will is definitely a troublesome opponent.

The opponent's legion talent is still taking effect, albeit slowly, but its impact on the Houtu legion as a whole is already quite significant.

"Follow me!" Ji Jian jumped down from the command platform, leading the Houtu Legion to retake the city wall, his eyes fixed on Xiya.

Thea gritted her teeth in hatred at the sight, but there was nothing she could do.

Just as Ji Jian had planned, they happily occupied the city walls. The omnipresent danger paralyzed her divine will, and she failed to discover the trap Ji Jian had set.

Now, having witnessed the tragic scene, the morale of the elite aliens has been severely damaged, and even Thea herself is still shaken. Under these circumstances, it is almost impossible to organize another charge to attack the city.

"withdraw!"

As Thea was weighing the pros and cons, the sound of retreat rang out. Thea could only glare fiercely at the Houtu Legion on the city wall before slowly retreating with the army.

Ji Jian tried throwing two stones, but Xi Ya easily destroyed them both, and could only watch as the other side left.

"The other side is probably preparing siege equipment. We'll have two more days!" Ji Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Ce and his men didn't understand the significance of holding out, but Ji Jian did. Time was on their side; the longer they dragged things out, the more likely Yue Fei would be to complete his planned operation.

Just as Ji Jian had thought, Yue Fei was busily mobilizing his army to begin the encirclement.

The army of supernatural beings surrounded the city, and they were about to completely encircle the army from the outside, making it appear as if they were going to devour these nearly 200,000 supernatural beings.

The commander of the aliens fell for the trick and began leading his troops on a frantic march toward this direction, also mobilizing troops from West Kunlun and Great Zhou.

But just as Yue Fei had planned, the Undying Legion's resurrection was so cunning that all it took was a legion with extremely high defensive capabilities to block them, and the Undying Legion simply couldn't get through.

"Our troops have blocked all the key roads, so they can't escape. But the news should have already reached them. Can Sun Ce and his men hold out?"

Chen Gong was somewhat worried. They had tried their best to block the leak, but the news had still been leaked. After all, the other side had air force, and they simply couldn't block it.

"Ji Jian sent word that they haven't suffered any losses yet. Now is the time to test them!" Yue Fei handed the information to Chen Gong, who was standing beside him.

"Should we send Ma Chao and the others to help?"

"No, the pressure from the front is considerable. We need to concentrate our forces!" Yue Fei shook his head. They wanted to besiege the enemy's stronghold and attack their reinforcements, while the enemy wanted to take the opportunity to wipe them out.

The large-scale troop movement forced Yue Fei to be cautious.

The battlefield has now expanded significantly, and every cavalry unit is crucial, especially high-speed cavalry like Ma Chao's, which cannot be easily mobilized.

"What about Guan Yu and the others..." Chen Gong hesitated.

The original plan was for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Cao Ang to lead their respective troops to meet Sun Ce and his men.

"Have them disperse and await orders!"

After thinking for a moment, Yue Fei moved the three men to one side of the encirclement, placing them in a position where they could both engage in battle and support Sun Ce and the others.

They need Sun Ce and his men to hold back the 200,000 enemies within the encirclement.

Without the bait, deploying 200,000 men would have disrupted Yue Fei's overall plan.

While Sun Ce and his men certainly faced danger, there is no absolutely safe place on the battlefield, and Yue Fei himself was directly on the front line.

Yue Fei had already laid a trap, just waiting for the strange man or the Western Kunlun to fall into it.

Whoever crawls in first, he'll hit them.

He knew that neither the Zhou Dynasty nor the Western Kunlun took the Yiren seriously, regarding them as cannon fodder.

And it was precisely this kind of thinking that Yue Fei wanted to exploit.

However, just in case, Yue Fei still made preparations to cause trouble in the Western Kunlun Mountains.

While the outside world was vying for power, Sun Ce and his group had already faced their greatest test yet.

The defeated army of supernatural beings returned with renewed vigor, this time using readily available materials to create numerous siege weapons.

Catapults, siege towers, battering rams... a massive siege weaponry surged toward the city.

The strategy remained the same: feigned attacks from three sides while launching a full-scale assault from one.

This time, however, the army of superhumans did not send out any remaining cannon fodder, but instead sent their elite troops directly into battle.

They had received word that Yue Fei was leading his troops to surround them.

By the time the message arrived, the encirclement was already fully formed. To avoid being attacked from both sides, they had no choice but to concentrate their forces to eliminate Sun Ce and his men.

More importantly, they also wanted to capture the city walls and use their advantageous position to hold the city, so that they could coordinate with reinforcements from the outside.

Risks and challenges go hand in hand.

The Yiren didn't believe they couldn't defeat Sun Ce and his forces, so they chose to launch a fierce attack.

This is also why Yue Fei used Sun Ce and his men as bait. It's not just because Sun Ce was capable of causing trouble, but also because Sun Ce and his men were very powerful and idealistic.

The combat power of a willpower-based legion is often not reflected in the data on paper.

Although the troop strength of the two sides appears to be 23,000 to 180,000, the fighting strength of Sun Ce and his men cannot be measured by the number 23,000.

This numerical advantage is also the reason why Yiren decided to fight Sun Ce and his forces to the death.

If Sun Ce and his men hadn't been so capable, they should have taken the city in the first wave of attacks.

There was no opening dialogue; screams, sounds of fighting, and roars quickly engulfed the city walls.

Countless strange soldiers rushed to the base of the wall, and densely packed soldiers frantically climbed up the cloud ladder.

With Chen Dao's assistance, Ji Jian struggled to resist the relentless onslaught.

The boundless stamina of the Military Soul Legion was on full display at this moment.

But the enemy seemed inexhaustible; as soon as one batch fell, another would immediately take its place. The endless depletion of manpower gradually eroded the strength and morale of the defenders on the city walls.

"This can't go on!" Chen Dao's expression was not good.

The relentless offensive was rapidly eroding the will and stamina of the Bai Er soldiers.

Ultimately, they are not the Military Soul Legion. Even if they could be compared, the difference between the two sides would be obvious in such an extremely harsh environment.

"That's right, this can't go on. Open the city gates, I'll fight my way out!"

Sun Ce appeared on the city wall at some point, and what he said made Chen Dao feel somewhat bewildered.

The army outside the city was launching a fierce offensive, and Sun Ce actually wanted to go out of the city to fight at this time. If he were trapped outside the city, he would be killed on the spot.

But soon, Chen Dao realized a problem.

Sun Ce is here, so who will fill the void he left behind?

"Le Jin's legion and illusionary soldiers have spread the defensive pressure evenly. Their approach is just a feint. Holding the line is not a difficult task for him!"

Sun Ce said nonchalantly, and indeed it was true; Yue Jin easily defended three sides of the city walls, and even used his illusionary soldiers to harass the alien troops outside the city. (End of Chapter)
