"Excellent," commented Wang Wei as he observed these soldiers from above. Although it might look like these troops would become useless after proving the Dao, it was far from the truth. After proving the Dao, his strength will be very close to the Empyrean level if he achieves Ten Extremity along with his other boosters. And the only reason he believes he cannot have Empyrean strength is because of the overwhelming transformation cultivators undergo from 69% of the Grand Dao Source to 70%; the transformation is more incomprehensible from Great Emperor and Dao Ancestor with 4.99%.
With such strength, he will be severely restricted in the lower dimension. So, he will need the help of others for many things–including these troops.
On the ground, Li Jun looked at the troops surrounding him. He detected two people on horses with unique auras. Furthermore, the troops revolved around these four.
'Generals?' He squinted his eyes. He held his spear in the middle and checked the balance before throwing it with immense force.
Boom! The spear turned into a red light as it cut the air due to its sheer speed.
"Array 1," roared Sloth General 1, leading the northern troops. Immediately, his soldiers reacted and formed a formation. Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Li Jun's speed which was numerous times faster than light, slowed down, traveling as it was navigating through water and working against a lot of resistance.
By the time the spear reached its destination, it had lost most of its power. So Sloth General 1 used his axe to send it flying away, forcing Li Jun to recall the spear to his side.
'What a strange array? Is it the power of time? Or something else?' He focused on the battle as the enemy's cavalry ran towards him from the north and west side.
"Archers," yelled Li Jun, and arrows flew from the middle. Unfortunately, the enemy troops also had archers, and they were more skilled than the city troops. Although not as good as Li Jun's troops, they held their own with little loss until the cavalry reached the enemy.
Bang!
The western cavalry clashed head-on with the western protective shield. And no matter what they did, they could not pass these men's shields. Meanwhile, the northern side began a slaughter.
These soldiers from the Undying Legion had no fear, so they attacked with unmatched ferocity. They stabbed their opponents and used elemental, spiritual, and brute force to kill as many people as possible. A pile of bodies and dead horses stood before them, but they did not care.
Push!
A devil stabbed a soldier in the heart, destroying the organ into oblivion. But to his horror, the man did not die or falter. After bleeding a little and the latter responded and cut off his head. Before dying, the devil could not understand what was going on.
That same soldier used the connected life force of his comrade to build another heart. And without even looking at his body or wasting time, he proceeded to kill more devils.
The soldier beside him had half of his body burned by a Flame Devil on a Flame Horse. However, he smashed the devil's head before continuing to kill his enemy. He sustained even more elemental injuries but never stopped fighting. And when he reached his body's limit, he used the connected life force to heal himself before continuing the battle.
Slash!
Another soldier sacrificed his arm to kill a mighty opponent. Then, with skills that indicated he had practiced before, he used his Divine Sense to levitate his arm from the ground and used the shared life force to reconnect it. During the entire process, he never stopped fighting and killing.
Sloth General 1 frowned as he watched his enemy rapidly decimate his army. While the cavalry was being slaughtered, his infantry also approached the human troops.
"Go for the head," he ordered before communicating with Sloth Generals 2 to 4, which troops had now arrived on the east and south sides. The east side was another iron wall, but the south side also had to deal with the Undying Legion.
The Undying Legion trained to protect their heads, so this tactic was less effective than the devils would wish. Nevertheless, it only worked to some extent.
Slash!
A soldier had their heads cut off, and this should have been his end, but to these devils' horror, a white light came from his separated neck and reattached his head to his body, even drawing the spilled blood back onto his body. The devils became more aggressive and smashed these soldiers' heads.
But it also regrew back. Regrettably, not all of them succeeded in regrowing their head. Tie Gang's Innate Talent allowed them to share life force to heal, but there was a limited amount that each soldier could access and control based on their individual talent.
"Haaaaaaaaa," roared a devil as he slammed his halberd on the ground, smashing a soldier to the ground; blood splatted over the surrounding people and on his body. But this was not the end.
