1213 Act! (2)
The battle continued for an hour. No wonder General Darte said this was a fierce war.
It was tough for martial warriors to fight ferociously like this. The exhaustion of Force was enough to put them in a dire situation.
Dark apparitions had no senses, so they could attack continuously, but martial warriors couldn't.
If they didn't replenish their stamina and Force in time, they wouldn't be able to engage in a protracted war.
That was why they took turns fighting their enemy. Before the first batch of martial warriors got exhausted, another one would replace them.
The recovery speed of a martial warrior who exhausted half of his Forces and one who exhausted all of them was different.
For the first scenario, the recovery speed was faster, giving them more time to deal with sudden circumstances on the battlefield.
The battlefield was ever-changing. It would be lethal if the dark apparitions launched a full-fledged attack while the human martial warriors were greatly exhausted.
As Wang Teng was observing the situation on the battlecraft, more battlecraft arrived at the third frontline.
Besides Wang Teng's team, the other martial warrior teams had also come to reinforce the third frontline.
General Darte didn't welcome them personally. Not everyone received special treatment like Wang Teng. They got distributed by the officers below and quickly went to their positions, defending certain parts of the wall and preparing for the full-blown assault.
Time passed slowly. They resisted waves and waves of low-rank dark apparitions. The light faction accumulated many casualties.
Explosions echoed on the battlefield. The dried ground was once again drenched in repulsive red and black blood.
"Devil moth dark apparitions!"
A shocking exclamation was heard on the battlefield.
Everyone's expressions changed. They looked up at the sky and saw a patch of black mist floating toward the wall.
Hideous devil moth dark apparitions could be faintly seen within the black mist.
They were the real high-rank dark apparitions.
Some dark apparition races with names had high intelligence and innate talents. They were hard to deal with.
General Darte's expression changed.
The dark apparition's attack had officially started.
"Wind-element martial warriors, prepare to blow the poisonous mist away. Prevent the devil moth dark apparitions from getting within 300 meters of the walls," General Darte ordered loudly.
Swoosh…
Martial warriors flew up from behind the walls and soared toward the devil moth dark apparitions.
Wang Teng stood behind. He stared into the sky and watched the imminent war.
He wasn't in a hurry to act.
As the commander, General Darte had his arrangements. Acting recklessly would mess up his plan.
The devil moth dark apparitions were now 500 meters away from them. Dark Venom Dust was scattered. The dark apparitions flapped their wings, and the dust swept toward the defense wall.
The wind-element martial warriors hurriedly released their wind Force, creating a strong gust of wind.
The Dark Venom Dust changed direction and shifted away from the martial warriors.
The martial warriors behind the wall heaved sighs of relief. They would be in huge trouble if the Dark Venom Dust floated over.
That would mean they got handicapped even before the war officially started.
But before they could feel happy, some dark apparitions shot out from the crowd below and charged toward the wind-element martial warriors.
"Oh shit!"
"It's the devil armor dark apparitions!" a wind-element martial warrior squinted and shouted.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Immediately after he shouted, a black glow erupted from a devil armor dark apparition. It formed a sharp dark blade and slashed toward the wind-element martial warriors.
The martial warriors around them got flustered. These dark apparitions concealed themselves among the low-rank dark apparitions below, so they didn't notice them.
But there was no time to hesitate. They charged ahead and executed their techniques as they resisted the sharp dark blades.
Ah!
Ah!
Cries of agony were everywhere. The attack was more powerful than expected. All the martial warriors who got hit were cut into two.
Some wind-element martial warriors defended themselves, but it was useless in front of the blade attack. The majority of the wind-element martial warriors lost their lives.
The remaining ones were lucky and managed to escape. They retreated furiously with pale faces.
One of the devil armor dark apparitions was at the low-tier devil emperor. They had no chances against him.
"Hahaha, trying to run? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The low-tier devil emperor sneered and rushed toward the wind-element martial warriors, wanting to annihilate them.
"Damn it!"
General Darte was infuriated. However, everything happened in the blink of an eye, giving him no time to react. He couldn't even send reinforcements.
These wind-element martial warriors were extremely useful. They mustn't be killed.
Without them, there would be no one to curb the devil moth dark apparitions. The dark faction could invade them without any obstacle and threaten the martial warriors behind.
The remaining wind-element martial warriors escaped frantically, dodging the attacks of the low-tier devil emperor.
However, the other devil armor dark apparitions had surrounded them too.
"Quick, stop them!" General Darte bellowed.
The cosmos-stage martial warriors behind the wall rushed out. They couldn't care about retaining strength. They dashed toward the devil armor dark apparitions and tried to block them.
"Die!"
Boom!
The devil armor dark apparitions roared, and a frightening attack dawned on them.
The cosmos-stage martial warriors were fast and could travel 500 meters within a few breaths, but their opponents were low-tier devil emperors. They weren't any slower, so they wouldn't give them any chance to stop them.
"Damn it!"
The remaining wind-element martial warriors made a huge decision. They released all the Forces in their bodies and prepared for their final struggle.
General Darte clenched his fist tightly. He felt helpless.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…
Suddenly, shrill sonic booms resounded in the sky.
Multiple rays of light cut through the air and shot toward the devil armor dark apparitions at an incredible speed.
Arrows!
Light arrows!
These were numerous light arrows. They gave off a holy glow.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock as they looked at the light arrows. Time seemed to have slowed down.
No, that wasn't right.
Time didn't slow down. Instead, the light arrows traveled at such a high seed that everything around it seemed to have slowed down.
It gave them the illusion that time had stopped.
What was unbelievable was, the light arrows vanished in mid-air as if they were never there.
But soon, everyone noticed the change in the devil armor dark apparitions' expressions. They gave up attacking the wind-element martial warriors and released their dark Force to form a defense shield in front.
The space in front of them distorted, and the light arrows shot out.
Boom, boom, boom!
They slammed on the dark apparitions' defense shields and exploded.
The devil armor dark apparitions were thrown back by the powerful impact. They staggered before stabilizing themselves.
The wind-element martial warriors finally managed to escape the devils' clutches. They immediately retreated behind the wall.
Everyone finally regained their senses. They looked in the direction where the light arrows came from. A figure stood tall and straight on the wall, holding a giant bow as high as him.
This was the person who shot the light arrows.
"He's so powerful!"
"What's that?"
"He looks young, but he managed to force the devil armor dark apparitions back. Where did this genius come from?"
…
The martial warriors around swallowed their saliva in shock.
"Good!" General Darte was the first to react. He couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted with a huge smile.
