“Kill!” The Airs Kingdom’s fifty thousand strong army finally began their collective charge towards Ai City, launching a full-scale attack.
Ivan remained calm and composed.
He raised the Emperor Sword in his hand and pointed it towards the enemy army: “Archers, prepare!” “Fire!” With Ivan’s command.
Ten thousand arrows were unleashed simultaneously, falling like rain.
Countless arrows began to mercilessly shoot down the enemy troops.
The battle had finally begun.
“Ai City, with only three thousand troops, definitely cannot stop our fifty thousand.
Let’s launch a full-scale attack in one go and break through the city gate!” “Charge into the city!” Qian Renxue shouted amidst the army, constantly boosting morale.
Seeing Qian Renxue being so vocal, Prince Xue Wu was not to be outdone and led a group of generals beside him to charge forward.
“Heh.” Qian Renxue looked at Prince Xue Wu’s retreating figure as if looking at a dead man.
As the saying goes, it’s easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The side with the advantage is usually the defending side.
However, Ai City’s construction was old, its city walls were not sturdy, and being merely a city on the edge of the Continent, its economy was not good, and military supplies for defense were extremely scarce.
Ai City’s city walls would not be able to withstand the Kingdom army’s firepower for long.
It would soon be breached.
So, instead of waiting for the enemy to break through and kill their way in, it was better to take the initiative and repel the enemy with overwhelming force!
“Lü Bu, it’s time to show your War God might.
I order you to lead our twenty thousand troops out of the city gate and rout the enemy!” Ivan said.
“Lü Bu, accepting the order!” Lü Bu, holding his Fangtian Halberd, leaped directly down from the high wall above the city gate.
He struck the crowd on the ground with a single halberd blow!
Bang!
Boom boom!
“Die!” Lü Bu descended like a god.
The moment he struck the ground, it was as if the entire earth trembled.
Hundreds of soldiers below were all sent flying by Lü Bu!
He even instantly defeated a group on the spot!
“Ahhhhh!” Various cries rang out.
“Open the city gate!” Following Lü Bu’s roar.
Ai City’s city gate slowly opened.
“Kill for me!” At this moment, within the city, a densely packed army of twenty thousand appeared in the enemy’s line of sight, swarming out and charging out of the city gate.
Lü Bu didn’t wait for the army to come out, he directly held his Fangtian Halberd and, alone with his halberd, plunged into the enemy ranks.
“Who can stop me!” “Retreat or die!” With an unstoppable force, Lü Bu began to shatter the enemy ranks, sweeping through thousands of troops.
With every move, dozens of enemy soldiers were thrown back by his sheer shockwave.
“Fierce!
Too fierce!” “Is this the combat power of a level 99 super Douluo?
Truly formidable!” Ivan exclaimed inwardly.
Now, Qian Renxue and the Kingdom army were truly in a panic.
“How is this possible!
A mere Ai City actually has tens of thousands of troops!” “And such a fierce general!” “How could this be!
How could this be!” Seeing this situation, Qian Renxue already had a bad premonition and was rapidly retreating to the rear under the protection of his people.
The very brave Prince Xue Wu was even more terrified seeing such a terrifying Lü Bu.
He also began to frantically flee backwards.
But it was at this moment that the person beside Prince Xue Wu secretly struck his vital point with a hidden dagger from his sleeve.
Gasp~ “Ugh, you…
you!
Wh…
why…” Prince Xue Wu looked at his own person in disbelief, finally collapsing to the ground and losing his life.
And the person who backstabbed him had already left after that one strike.
In the chaotic battlefield, no one saw that the Third Prince Prince Xue Wu was eliminated by his own person.
But Ivan, who was observing the overall situation from the high wall, happened to see this scene!
He immediately frowned: “The Third Prince was actually backstabbed by his own person.
Qian Renxue did it, right?” “Damn it, if the Tiandou Empire’s Third Prince dies here with me, the blame will fall on me.
Heaven Dou will definitely seek revenge for the Third Prince and send a million strong army to flatten my Ai City!” “Damn it!
Qian Renxue, why did you have to eliminate the Third Prince here of all places?
You’re really causing trouble!” No matter how fierce a level 99 super Douluo is, no matter how fierce Lü Bu is, they are ultimately just mortal Spirit Masters.
Facing the Empire’s one million strong army, not to mention the large number of Spirit Masters among the enemy troops, even a super Douluo would be difficult to deal with.
It is not advisable to directly confront the colossal Empire at this time.
“Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue, I originally didn’t intend to do anything to you, but now, capturing you as a high-value hostage and a strategic bargaining chip is the only way to safeguard Ai City!” Ivan’s expression turned ruthless, and he ordered: “Xiahou Dun!” “Your subordinate is here!” “Go, and capture that Xue Qinghe for me!” “Yes!” Xiahou Dun, with his level 95 combat power, also leaped down from the city gate in one go, cutting his way through the chaotic battle between the two armies towards the enemy’s rear.
“Great, Prince Xue Wu is finally eliminated.
Now among the four Heaven Dou Imperial Princes, only I and the young Xue Beng remain.” “The position of Crown Prince will definitely be mine.” At this moment, Qian Renxue was still happy about eliminating Prince Xue Wu, not realizing that the formidable Xiahou Dun was coming.
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
Fleeing was definitely not an option.
“Not good!” “Protect the Crown Prince!” Everyone guarding Qian Renxue was a Spirit Master, but only one had reached the Spirit Saint realm.
Unfortunately, how could this level stop Xiahou Dun with his level 95 combat power.
He was instantly suppressed by the powerful spear in Xiahou Dun’s hand!
Qian Renxue despaired: “What’s going on, why…
why does a mere Duke have so many terrifying figures?” “Am I, Qian Renxue, going to fail here today?” “Unwilling, I am unwilling to end like this…” “No!!!” Bang!
The next second, Qian Renxue was knocked unconscious by Xiahou Dun.
A moment later, Qian Renxue was brought back to Ivan’s side.
“Lord, I have brought the person back for you.” “Good, seal his spirit power completely and place him under strict house arrest in the secure inner chamber of the palace.” Ivan glanced indifferently at the unconscious Qian Renxue.
Looking at this Crown Prince’s face, Ivan thought to himself: ‘Having the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire as a political hostage will give me enough leverage to negotiate with the imperial palace and buy time to develop the Aiven Duchy.
Once my territory is secure and my strength grows, I will uncover all the secrets hidden behind this identity.’ His gaze returned to the battlefield.
At this moment, the Kingdom army had been routed and was in disarray.
The fierce Lü Bu had already broken their formation.
Lü Bu’s bravery had even scared countless enemy soldiers out of their wits.
Morale was completely shattered, they were fearful and terrified, and simply couldn’t fight anymore.
“Retreat!” “Retreat!” The Kingdom army finally couldn’t take it anymore and began to retreat, fleeing in disarray.
The war ended, and the Ai City Army cheered and shouted excitedly.
They never expected that today, their Ai City, would actually repel the Kingdom’s fifty thousand strong army!
“The Kingdom army has retreated!
They were driven away by us!” “We won!
We won!” “Originally, a comfortable and leisurely life as a salted fish would have been good, but now my life has changed forever.” “From now on, I will conquer the Douluo Continent and stand at the pinnacle of power, status, and strength in this World!”
