Chapter 398 The Great Battle Begins (2)
While everyone was still wondering...
"Boom...boom...boom..."
A series of loud explosions echoed across the battlefield outside the region.
These loud noises shocked everyone.
In particular, the beams of light emanating from that cylinder contained power that astonished everyone.
They never expected that such a seemingly strange thing could unleash such a powerful attack.
Although it only reached the power of a terrestrial immortal, this thing is an area-of-effect attack!
In a major battle, launching several attacks on densely populated areas would inevitably result in massive casualties.
Especially large-scale battlefields like those outside the region.
While they were still in shock.
The attack has already landed within the Immortal Vein camp.
This immediately caused huge casualties to the Immortal Vein Army.
A vacuum zone appeared instantly.
Everyone was shocked. They had guessed that it would be powerful, but they hadn't expected it to be this powerful.
In one attack, hundreds of thousands of people died on the spot.
This scene is truly breathtaking.
Even the four ancient clans, who were somewhat prepared, were utterly shocked.
They learned from the four royal families that the Qin Dynasty possessed powerful weapons of war, but they never imagined they were this powerful.
If it can be used continuously, wouldn't it be possible to eliminate the opponent without taking any damage?
However, they were overthinking it. The energy cannon had to stop and cool down after every few attacks, otherwise it would be destroyed.
Moreover, the cost of refining it is quite high, and each shot requires immortal stones, which is money.
After the first round of attacks, the second, third, and even the fifth rounds followed in quick succession.
After five rounds of attacks, the energy cannon ceased firing.
However, it also caused tens of millions of casualties to the Immortal Vein.
Such losses are not much for the Immortal Army, after all, they brought a total of 20 billion troops this time.
However, it dealt a huge blow to their morale.
The higher-ups of the Immortal Vein also came to their senses and immediately began to organize a counterattack.
The army launched a direct attack on the Qin Dynasty's forces, but their formation was somewhat chaotic.
After all, they are not armies from the same domain, so they cannot achieve a unified front.
Faced with such an enemy, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were not only unafraid, but all of them were extremely excited.
Qi Ye, as the commander-in-chief of this great battle, saw this.
"Defensive formation, assemble the army."
Under Qi Ye's command, the shield bearers at the front raised their shields.
A massive barrier appeared in front of the army.
At the same time, the spirit of the army appeared in the sky, which was a huge shield.
Block all enemy attacks.
"Archers, form ranks and attack!"
After the Immortal Army entered the attack range, Qi Ye issued another order.
Under his command, the archers immediately formed a battle formation, and a giant bow appeared in the sky.
Then, arrows composed of immortal power, each carrying different attributes, attacked the enemy army.
Countless arrows rained down on the ranks of the immortal army.
This resulted in another large number of casualties, creating a vacuum in the Immortal Vein army.
"Heavy cavalry, prepare."
"Raise your battle formation and charge!"
"Light cavalry, attack from both flanks and disrupt the enemy's formation."
"..."
Qi Ye issued a series of orders.
Then they saw hundreds of millions of heavy cavalry charge out.
The light cavalry on both flanks did not hesitate at all; they also attacked when the heavy cavalry charged.
Soon, the two armies clashed in close combat.
However, the Immortal Vein is entirely composed of infantry, and they have never encountered cavalry combat.
Especially the attacks from heavy cavalry.
In an instant, the front line was breached, and the heavy cavalry, like a tidal wave, overwhelmed the vanguard of the immortal army.
"Back."
When the momentum of the heavy cavalry charge weakens.
Upon receiving Qi Ye's order, the heavy cavalry did not hesitate and immediately turned their mounts around to retreat.
Their attack came quickly and went quickly; just as the Immortal Vein was about to counterattack, the heavy cavalry had already retreated.
The Immortal Vein wanted to keep their heavy cavalry, but their flanks were attacked.
This caught them completely off guard.
After the debate and exchange of ideas.
The sound of energy cannons firing rang out once again from within the Qin Dynasty army.
Then, wave after wave of attacks fell into the ranks of the Immortal Vein army.
This caused the Immortal Vein Army, which was originally going to pursue, to directly suffer another round of artillery fire.
Before they even reached the Qin Dynasty's army, they had already suffered hundreds of millions of casualties. Such a large number of casualties left the higher-ups of the Immortal Vein somewhat bewildered.
When have they ever suffered such casualties before the two armies have even clashed head-on?
That's not just a few dozen, a few hundred, or a few thousand people!
That's hundreds of millions of people, just like that, gone?
They almost thought they were dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.
But the smell of blood in the air and the scattered limbs reminded them that this was not a dream.
However, they dared not hesitate any longer, because if they continued like this, their losses would be even greater.
They immediately dispatched a True Immortal Realm expert to try and break through the defenses.
However, their plan was doomed to fail.
As a veteran of the battlefield, Qi Ye possessed exceptional adaptability and immediately made arrangements.
He directly ordered a marquis general standing nearby: "You immediately lead men to block the True Immortal Realm experts from the Immortal Vein. The others should also be prepared to provide support at any time."
"Yes, I will go right away."
The general received the order, waved his hand, and led his personal guards to the battlefield.
They quickly stopped the True Immortal Realm expert from the Immortal Vein.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle directly in the air above the battlefield, with neither holding back.
Faced with this situation, the Immortal Vein side was getting anxious. If they couldn't break through the defenses, they would be in a very passive position.
They immediately sent in more people.
Upon seeing this, the Qin Dynasty did not hesitate at all and immediately sent more men.
Finally, all the True Immortal Realm experts from the 36 Marquis Clans went into battle and formed a military formation to fight against the True Immortal Realm experts from the Immortal Vein.
There was no way they could compete with the Immortal Vein in terms of the number of True Immortal Realm experts.
After all, this time the Immortal Vein sent people from several nearby mid-level domains. Although not all the True Immortal Realm experts were mobilized, their numbers were still far greater than what Qin Wu and his group could currently match.
The only way to offset the numerical disadvantage is through military formations.
The four ancient clans also noticed the situation and stopped watching from the sidelines.
They joined the battle directly.
With the addition of the armies of the four ancient clans, the Immortal Vein immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
After all, fighting on two fronts, and with the Qin Dynasty possessing new weapons of war, they simply had no chance of winning.
They began to seek help from their respective sects.
In an attempt to reverse their disadvantage, they then began sending out powerful cultivators at the Immortal General level.
The battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.
The armies below also clashed.
