Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Catch the thief by first catching the king_1
Chu Yuan mercilessly used his Heavenly Emperor's Sword to skewer the eagle hawk like a candied haw on a stick.
At this moment, the large beast that had encircled Chu Yuan saw the eagle hawk get beheaded and were afraid. An overwhelming, corporeal fear of humanity's might descended upon them, making them retreat again and again.
"How is this possible!"
Wei Shen saw how Chu Yuan beheaded the eagle hawk, a mighty beast of the sixth Divine Realm, with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. This beast possessed infinite mana; even amidst an ambush, even he, a seventh-level Divine Realm expert, couldn't have accomplished such a feat.
"Wei Shen, you did very well."
Chu Yuan's indifferent voice reached Wei Shen's ears.
"Protecting your Majesty is my duty!"
Wei Shen felt his back soak with sweat.
"Drive away the beast wave, do not let them get close to escaping from the Great Beast Mountain Range!"
Upon witnessing Chu Yuan's terrifying strength, Wan Lianji's face also changed color. Although he wasn't part of the Grand Marshal's faction, as the holder of military power, he hadn't paid much attention to Chu Yuan.
However, today's scene gave him much to think about.
Between the Poverty Battalion and the Divine Warrior Group, a wall formed by more than a hundred thousand soldiers was set up once again.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Inside the beast wave, there was another disturbance, and they didn't retreat because of it. The beast wave was well prepared by the large monsters, and an unknown number of savage beasts were assembled from within the Great Beast Mountain Range.
Packed together so densely that it was impossible to see where they ended.
Chu Yuan opened his Devouring Eye, and countless rays of light converged. At the heart of the beast wave, he saw a Thunder Dragon that was fifty feet long, and its body was entirely purple with one pair of sharp horns on its head.
Purple Thunder Dragon, a ninth-level Divine Realm beast, contained dragon's bloodline, and its power was comparable with that of the tenth-level Divine Realm!
As the Purple Thunder Dragon stirred up a storm and released its Dragon's Prestige, it commanded countless savage beasts to fight on, and even the large beasts couldn't free themselves from the fear induced by that Prestige.
"I'm late to protect you, and I ask for your Majesty's forgiveness!"
However, when the Forbidden Army of the Poverty Battalion had difficulty resisting the beast wave, crowds of hundreds of thousands of soldiers wearing Forbidden Army armor, led by various generals, began to gather from afar.
The Taotie, Hundun, and Taowu Battalions have arrived!
The four Savage Beast Battalions had been stationed at the foot of the Great Beast Mountain, so it was not surprising that they could come so fast.
"Minister Hong Yun bows to his Majesty!"
An incredibly tall and strong middle-aged man walked up to Chu Yuan, and although he spoke respectfully, he did not perform a formal salute and only slightly bent his body.
This man was Hong Yun, the commander of the Hundun Battalion!
Among the four Savage Beast Battalions, the Hundun Battalion was the strongest.
Hong Yun was a tenth-level Divine Realm expert and ranked first in strength among the ringleaders of the Savage Beast Battalions. He was an extremely unrestrained man, loyal only to the former emperor. In the past, even Chu Yuan couldn't command him.
"Commander Hong is here." Chu Yuan nodded, "Facing millions of beasts, I wonder if Commander Hong has any good strategies."
"Such a fierce beast wave is indeed rare. The four Savage Beast Battalions have a total of five hundred thousand soldiers. Even if we use a tactic of one soldier against five beasts, it will be difficult to resist such a large number of savage beasts. I suggest building a defensive line, advancing and retreating while fighting, and leading them to the national capital.
We can defend with the hardness of the capital!"
Hong Yun said, "I am willing to fight the rearguard!"
[Option one: Accept Hong Yun's suggestion, lead the beast wave to the foot of the Imperial City, gain one hundred Destiny Points, progress Armored Flying Boat Level One blueprint by 20%]
[Option two: Capture the enemy's leader first, kill the Purple Thunder Dragon, and cause chaos in the beast wave. Gain one hundred Destiny Points, progress Big Gun Level One blueprint by 20%, current progress is 40%.]
"Commander Hong's suggestion is good, but it's too conservative. What if the beasts besiege the city? What if we can't get out? The four hidden nations will definitely seize this opportunity to attack our border, and at that time, we will face more than just the beast wave."
Chu Yuan surveyed the surroundings, setting his sights on the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon, "Pass on my orders. The four beast battalions and Zhu Fengfeng's Forbidden Army are to resist the beast tide within the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts.
All officials above the Divine Realm are to strike against the Divine Demons, and the brave and loyal marquis leading thirty thousand martial artists will accompany me to capture and slay the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon and disperse the beast tide."
"As your Majesty commands!"
Hong Yun didn't waste words and promptly led the four beast battalions to resist the beast tide.
"Brother Emperor, this is too dangerous!" Chu Xiaoniang expressed her worries with a pale face.
"Don't worry, with the brave Marquis here, even if we fail to kill the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon, I can still retreat safely,"
Chu Yuan's imperial edict held a deeper meaning. He could let Hong Yun resist the beast tide, but he didn't trust him completely. The ones he trusted most were his thirty thousand martial artist army. With the War Army Chessboard, the vast army could be controlled like his own arm.
"Princess, rest assured, I'll protect his Majesty even at the cost of my life!"
Lu Qianfu pledged solemnly.
In an instant, Chu Yuan took flight first, followed closely by his thirty thousand martial artist army. With the emperor leading the charge, their morale was high. All the beasts they encountered along the way were slaughtered, as if they were plowing a pathway.
"Hmm?"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon appeared amused, "The young Emperor of Dawu certainly has courage, daring to capture the king first before the thieves. I can play along and devour your thirty thousand elite martial artists!"
"The Day of Extinction, Thunder descends upon the world, dragons and snakes rise from the land!"
With confidence in its own strength, the nine-fold Divine abilities of the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon launched a battle. Interweaving ceaseless thunder and lightning, a massive lightning net descended, killing any ordinary soldier immediately.
"Great! Too Great!"
On the other hand, Wei Shen at the rear became excited again.
"Set up the formation, War Field!"
With the help of the War Army Chessboard, Chu Yuan set up a profound war field. As the field's master, he surrounded the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon and launched an attack.
"Great Thunder Technique!"
From afar, Chu Yuan's thirty thousand martial artist army appeared like another thunder dragon. As the double dragons contended for supremacy, their overwhelming momentum clashed sharply.
In this blink of an eye, the intense collision was earth-shattering. Countless beasts were electrified to death, but Chu Yuan's martial artist army was very powerful. Along with the protection of the war field, their unleashed power forced the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon to retreat furiously.
"What!"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon was astounded!
It never imagined that this thirty thousand strong army could unleash such terrifying power. Stacked together, it was even more terrifying than itself. Particularly that emperor, the radiating lightning from his body was even more terrifying than its own purple lightning.
"Thunder of Apocalypse!"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon let out a huge thunderball from its mouth.
Boom!
Chu Yuan was at the forefront of the army. He directly entered the thunderball, using his own body to resist it. Afterward, the light from the explosion dissipated and he emerged unharmed, leaving the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon in disbelief.
It's known that Chu Yuan holds the title of Thunder Controller, not only amplifying his thunder divine abilities, but also granting him immunity to a certain extent from thunder damage.
He dared challenge the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon because he held the title of the Thunder Controller.
"Loyal and Brave Marquis, cut off the retreat of the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon. Let's surround and kill him!"
The sound of Chu Yuan's voice echoed across the battlefield. At his command, his thirty thousand men army firmly trapped the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon in the middle.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon had underestimated the situation, getting trapped.
"Those who dare to violate Dawu, no matter how far, will be punished!" Chu Yuan roared, "The Majesty of the Imperial Road is inviolable! Kill those who trespass without mercy!"
What do you think?
