Chapter 843: Chapter 355: Prelude to the Great Battle (Part 2)
Concentrating his gaze, Lear could see exaggeratedly sized catapults fixed behind the enemy, with inscriptions etched conspicuously upon them.
Once everything was ready, hybrid giants standing six meters tall carried the massive rocks, placing the chains onto the heavy siege equipment.
The titanic war pig suddenly lowered its head, and the chains bound to its teeth were immediately pulled by immense force.
The winch behind began to contract through gears, as the war pig lifted its head and pulled down again, and after three consecutive times, the winch was taut.
A bear-man seated atop the war pig let out a low roar, suddenly unlocking the clasps above.
Boom~
Clattering~
The winch burst open, and the powerful force directly hurled the three-meter-high boulder from the back.
A boulder as tall as a building pulled out a parabola in the air, flying with terrifying might.
Boom~
It crash-landed thirty meters from the temple, bouncing wildly and rolling forty to fifty meters before abruptly smashing into a building and coming to a stop.
Upon turning back, the ground was already a chaotic mess.
With the firing of the first shot, hundreds of titanic war pigs lined up in formation began working the winch... the opposing side clearly intended to destroy the temple outright.
They had no intention of approaching.
Lear’s eyes chilled upon seeing this.
He immediately ordered—
Spare no mercy, eliminate them all!
At that moment, the titanic war pigs were 1300 meters away from the temple.
Clearly, they were prepared... because the ultimate soldiers were restricted by the temple’s activity range.
However... his wetland angels could leave the temple for two thousand meters!
The instant the order was issued, these five squads of wetland angels fiercely flapped their wings, charging towards the enemy.
The enemy watched this scene calmly, continuing to load boulders, preparing for a wave to destroy the temple.
But in the next second, the front-line centaur warriors felt a chill down their spines.
Because... those angels with cyan moss wings flew directly past the kilometer boundary, charging straight to their front.
The centaur commander at the rear narrowed his pupils, a disbelief rising in his heart.
This, how is this possible? Weren’t ultimate soldiers unable to leave the range of a thousand meters from the temple?!
How could they break the limitation?!
But before they could react, the five squads of wetland angels had already slaughtered their way into the army.
First in line were the titanic war pigs, these Level 15, 15-meter tall, and 25-meter long colossal creatures were... sliced in half.
The cyan moss battle saber in the wetland angels’ hands radiated dazzling light, slashing down as sword qi erupted.
Directly cutting it in two, blood gushed forth like a fountain, with viscera pouring out, the air suddenly suffused with the stench of blood.
Subsequently... like a tiger among sheep.
These ultimate soldiers began showcasing their power.
Slaughtering recklessly without restraint.
The surrounding army appeared as helpless lambs, devoid of any resistance.
War sabers swung, erupting, and sword qi crisscrossed in all directions.
Those killed by sword qi were infected by the power of cyan moss, then... boom~ triggered explosive detonations.
Causing secondary damage.
This army of twenty to thirty thousand was wiped out at an astonishing speed!
This was a massacre through and through!
These Level 15 soldiers didn’t even have the qualification to touch the hem of the enemy’s clothes before being executed.
Merely five squads pierced through the battlefield...
If not for the centaur commander maneuvering the army’s withdrawal in time, none of these thirty thousand would survive.
Interestingly, although the activity range was two thousand meters, Lear instructed the wetland angels to halt after pursuing to 1500 meters, not to venture further.
Once the opposing forces retreated in a frenzy, he immediately commanded them to return to the temple...
Witnessing this scene, the centaur commander breathed a sigh of relief.
These wetland angels were still constrained, only a few hundred meters more than normal ultimate soldiers.
Yet, the siege weapons on the backs of the titanic war pigs, enchanted to maximize distance, could reach 1500 meters... beyond this range, accuracy drastically decreased.
But the mission cannot be abandoned, gritting his teeth, he called in five more squads of titanic war pigs from the main forces to commence ultra-long-range hurling at 1800 meters.
The task he received was to use the temple to stall the opponent’s ultimate soldiers.
He originally intended to destroy this temple outright, but now, with the plan failed, he aimed to stall a portion of the wetland angels to alleviate the pressure on the main forces ahead.
The threat to the temple from the opposition’s ultra-long-range attacks greatly diminished.
One squad of wetland angels could easily defend.
The war saber could directly smash incoming boulders, shielding the temple from harm.
The two sides tacitly played a game of understanding.
Lear also saw through the opposing side’s intentions, leaving one squad to guard while the rest returned to Katana.
Then, without delay, he approached the temple, beginning to recruit wetland angels.
Originally, he wanted to hold a card up his sleeve for a crucial surprise against the enemy, but the foe has clearly prepared this time, attempting to leverage the temple against him.
Let’s counter with measures.
A mere thought injected 16 million power of faith!
Consuming over half of the 20 million power of faith accumulated for the day.
Necessary reserves must be kept for emergencies, it couldn’t all be spent...
Recruiting each wetland angel consumed 100,000 power of faith.
This 16 million directly spawned 16 squads.
The total number of wetland angels increased to 26 squads...
Even with some forces held back, he still had sufficient troops to guard Katana.
His heart settled down.
Henceforth, the army of the Wild Pantheon, upon encountering any temple, dispatched 10,000 troops and five squads of titanic war pigs.
