After distributing the Demon-Removing Talisman and the Demon-Suppressing Talisman to the Four Great Sects, each Sect seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and the desire to survive once again ignited in their hearts.
At this moment, Lin Chen held an extremely important position in their hearts, and they all expressed a willingness to follow the commands of the Array Formation Sect and Lin Chen.
Lin Chen also considered that if all the people of the four powers were to perish in this great battle, then from whom would he recover the cost of the talisman inscriptions; it could be a losing deal.
But the current situation was complex, with no time for further thought.
If they didn’t take a gamble, the two million Dark Demon Race army scattered across the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven Continent would make the Jade Cauldron Sect impossible to escape disaster.
In these thirteen days, Lin Chen’s true body continuously destroyed the Dark Demon Race’s Heavenly Yin Pearl strongholds within the relics, causing the Dark Demon Race army to be deployed to guard the Heavenly Yin Pearls at various strongholds. Thus, the Dark Demon Race in the Luo Yun Mountain Range stayed motionless, waiting for orders from the First-Rank Demon General.
This bought nearly half a month for Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division and others.
Throughout this half-month, knowing that an unprecedented fierce battle lay ahead, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division not only set up killing formations around him but also guided the various forces on how to connect their attacks with the killing formations and to establish Great Formations for defense in the Luoyun Mountain Range.
After witnessing Lin Chen’s talent and command ability in warfare, the various forces handed over the command of their armies to Lin Chen, including the other forces of the Divine Flame Alliance.
Without Lin Chen’s command abilities in battle, the casualties sustained by the Array Formation Sect might have been similar to the other Major Sects.
Faced with the Four Great Sects and the Evergreen Sect entrusting the command of their armies to him, Lin Chen did not refuse, as this could increase the chances of victory against the Dark Demon Race army.
From this point on, the various forces truly united.
Lin Chen lamented that had they united earlier , the Dark Demon Race army might have already been defeated—the previous joint defense at the relic’s teleportation gate would have annihilated as many of the Dark Demon Race that emerged as possible until they dared not arrive.
In these more than ten days, Lin Chen reorganized the one hundred and seventy thousand troops, imparting the killing formation knowledge, which doubled the overall combat strength.
Facing the Dark Demon Race army, Lin Chen felt a surge of confidence in his heart.
At this moment, outside Cloud Sky City in Frost Chill Kingdom.
High above in the sky, amidst white clouds, an army of several thousand had employed a concealment technique, hiding within it.
Each of them, with grave expressions, watched the ground below carefully, concealing their own aura and waiting for their target to appear.
This army, eight thousand strong, belonged to the Seventh Troops of the Battle Eagle Squad.
The military rule of the Jade Cauldron Sect was ten thousand people for a large troop, one thousand for a small one.
The Battle Eagle Squad, now concealed among the white clouds, was the very ten thousand troops led by Troop Leader Xu Fei.
However, Xu Fei had earlier escorted Wang Xuan to the Yunfei Kingdom, so their Seventh Troops’ numbers were now only at eight thousand.
At this moment, every soldier in the army was eager to complete the mission before them, for within the Battle Eagle Squad, the Seventh Troops needed only one more mission to surpass the Sixth Troops.
All the military personnel thought of giving Xu Fei a surprise when he returned.
"All personnel be ready to engage the enemy; those guys are coming," a figure clothed in black within the Battle Eagle Squad’s ranks spoke to the people, a member of the Dark Division.
Hearing the Dark Division member’s words, all the Battle Eagle Squad soldiers immediately looked toward the distant ground.
On the ground, a large army was swiftly advancing towards them.
Seeing this, a slight smile unconsciously crept onto the faces of the Battle Eagle Squad soldiers; they all tightened their grip on their weapons, ready to face the enemy. If they won this battle, their military achievements would surpass those of the Sixth Troops.
The marching army consisted of fifty thousand troops, all Demon Cultivators from the Red Soul Hall.
Facing an enemy force fifty thousand strong, the Battle Eagle Squad, with merely eight thousand troops, showed expressions of excitement and eager anticipation instead of fear.
This was so because they not only possessed formidable strength but also because the intelligence provided by the Dark Division was exceedingly accurate.
Thanks to the precise intelligence, the Battle Eagle Squad was able to set up an ambush on the essential path of the Red Soul Hall’s army. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ nοvelfire.net
At this moment, as the Battle Eagle Squad hid within the clouds, the Red Soul Hall’s army was completely unaware.
"They are within shooting range; all units prepare!" the small troop leaders of the Battle Eagle Squad whispered the commands within the clouds.
The Battle Eagle Squad’s forces immediately drew their bows and nocked arrow feathers.
Although they were using ordinary Thunder Chasing Arrow Feathers, their power was not to be underestimated.
"Explode!" with a soft shout from the Dark Division’s shadowy figure, explosions occurred near the Spirit Steeds and Spiritual Vehicles of the Red Soul Hall’s army as they marched. The powerful shockwaves erupted amongst the Red Soul Hall’s troops, instantly claiming nearly twenty thousand lives.
"Brothers, loose your arrows!"
Immediately after, the Battle Eagle Squad’s forces unleashed a deluge of arrows from within the clouds, raining down the Thunder Chasing Arrow Feathers on the Red Soul Hall army like a torrential downpour.
