A binding force enveloped the surroundings, and no matter how hard Li Tianyi tried, he was unable to break free.
Just as he was about to be crushed to death by the giant foot, Po Jun sensed the danger nearby and automatically took to the air.
It burst forth with dazzling light.
At the same time, the monster crystal cores in the system space flew out automatically and instantly disintegrated.
It formed a powerful force that surged into the Broken Army.
The Broken Army buzzed, emitting an even more dazzling light.
The giant ghost hated the aura and quickly withdrew its foot, retreating rapidly.
As the binding force dissipated, Li Tianyi quickly stood up, forming hand seals, "Breaking Army Blade Qi* Modified, Fall!"
A dazzling beam of light, hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide, slashed down rapidly from the sky.
The mountains trembled, the earth roared, and towering trees crumbled.
As the blade's edge drew near, a deep fear flashed in the giant ghost's eyes, and it retreated rapidly.
"Trying to escape?" Li Tian flicked his finger, slightly changing the direction of the blade's light, which then enveloped him again. "Die!"
No. No!
The giant ghost had lost its previous arrogance and was now desperately trying to escape.
Li Tianyi gave him no chance and brought down the blade directly.
boom!
Boom...
The earth shook violently, and some of the taller rocks were split open, becoming as smooth and flat as tofu.
The giant ghost stood silently in place, its eyes filled with nothing but fear and horror.
A gust of air swept by, and cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the body.
The cracks grew larger and larger until it shattered.
With each piece of flesh that fell, a piercing scream would be heard.
These are all small ghost beast races that were forcibly fused together and have not yet been fully digested.
Li Tianyi watched the dissipating ghosts and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. "My strength is still not enough. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."
The battle situation at the front line flashed before his eyes, and he shook his head repeatedly, "Where is there time to improve myself? I can only grow in battle."
Realizing what was happening, he immediately pulled out the communicator: "The nameless hill closest to the Nine Turns has been captured. Send troops over to garrison it immediately, and be quick."
"The 191st Army, led by Commander Gu Chang'an, has personally brought men to guard the area."
"ASAP!"
“I will definitely arrive with my men within two hours. If I am even a second late, Gu Chang’an will come to me with his head.”
Li Tianyi felt much relieved. He quickly swallowed some healing medicine, sprinkled some powder on his wound, and sat down cross-legged...
On the other side.
The main defensive position of the 22nd Army, and the defensive line of the 4th Division.
Division Commander Cao Ligong angrily slammed down the phone. "Damn it, the enemy actually broke through our defenses! What are the First Regiment doing? They're utterly useless!"
"Brother Ligong, this isn't the time for angry words." Deputy Division Commander Yan Nanfei grabbed him. "Right now, let's figure out how to retake the front lines!"
"Research my ass, I'll do it myself."
Cao Ligong grabbed his gun, rushed out of the command room, and shouted, "Guard Regiment, come with me!"
"Make a contribution! Make a contribution!" Yan Nanfei chased after him.
"Nanfei, I'm leaving this place to you." Cao Ligong looked towards Dafeng Mountain. "Without Brother Tian and Brother Shan, there would be no 4th Division today. Even if I have to risk my life, I will repay the debt of gratitude I owe you back then."
He turned around abruptly, shouting, "You Sichuan lads, let's summon the spirit our ancestors had for fighting the invaders! Kill these bastards who dare to cross the border! Kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The guard regiment was in high spirits, each member like a god of war who had just returned from hell, inspiring fear in others.
Cao Ligong nodded in satisfaction and handed a yellowed white cloth to the guard, saying, "Raise it."
"Yes, Commander!"
The Sichuan Army's morale soared even higher when the death flag was raised, and they charged towards the front lines with roars of excitement...
at the same time.
All the soldiers of the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment died in battle, and not a single body was intact.
The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment who came as reinforcements all had red eyes and felt a tightness in their chests.
"This is not the time to grieve. Retake the position, defend the honor of the 1st Brigade, kill!"
The 2nd Regiment Commander led the charge.
Soon, they appeared within the enemy's firing range.
Ta-da!
Whoosh...
These foreigners, controlled by the black energy, also knew how to use firearms. The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment were unaware of this, and dozens of them were killed or wounded as soon as the battle began.
"Fuck you, you son of a bitch!" The 2nd Regiment Commander ripped off his military cap and charged even more fiercely, shouting, "Artillery barrage!"
Countless shells rained down on the enemy ranks, instantly disrupting their formation.
"Charge over there and kill these bastards."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Second Regiment charged even more fiercely.
The enemy also came to their senses at this time and organized a counterattack, with soldiers falling one after another in the front ranks.
Those who were still alive were fearless, charging forward and catching fire as they went.
The enemy at the forefront was suppressed by firepower and dared not show themselves.
"Fight like this!"
Suddenly, a bullet pierced past the 2nd Regiment Commander's abdomen.
His lips twitched, but he didn't make a sound. Enduring the pain, he continued his charge.
The battlefield was so chaotic that no one noticed.
They charged forward, losing about two hundred men, before finally reaching the enemy lines and engaging in a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
The 2nd Regiment Commander was indeed a fierce general. Wherever his broadsword passed, the enemy either had their heads chopped off or were split in two. No matter how the black energy pieced itself together, it could no longer control these people.
The battle grew increasingly fierce, with casualties falling on both sides.
However, no matter how many enemies you kill, it's as if no one has ever died; the more you kill, the more enemies there are.
The 2nd Regiment was quickly overwhelmed by the enemy.
The group stood back to back, staring at the approaching enemy.
"Commander, it seems we're all going to die here today." A soldier's eyes flashed with apology as he looked towards home. "Mom, Dad (Sichuan dialect, father), Gouwa has made something of himself. He died on the battlefield defending our home."
"Mom, Dad, your son is unfilial. I will repay your kindness in the next life," everyone said in unison.
The 2nd Regiment Commander pointed his broadsword at the enemy and said, "If any of you bastards aren't afraid of dying, come on up here."
Several enemies rushed up.
A left slash, a right pull, a spin—all the enemies were killed.
"They're just chickens and clay dogs, bring it on!"
More enemies rushed up. The 2nd Regiment Commander's brow twitched. Enduring the pain, he swung his broadsword.
After dealing with the group of enemies, he knelt weakly on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, his body covered in wounds.
"Sigh, if I hadn't been injured before, I could have killed at least a hundred of them." As he sighed, he caught a glimpse of his treasured communicator out of the corner of his eye, a smile playing on his lips as he struggled to connect the call.
"This is the Navy's Dongfang No. 3 aircraft carrier. Who is calling?"
"071, 323, requesting full naval gun fire; 071, 323, requesting full naval gun fire..."
The enemy charged forward again at this moment, and the 2nd Regiment Commander had no choice but to put away communications and engage in fierce fighting with the enemy.
"Immediate fire support! Immediate fire support!"
He screamed several times with all his might, but before he could dodge, the long sword pierced his body. "Pfft! Quick, quick!"
The communications officer was on tenterhooks, just about to report, when Lei Shiyu ordered: "Adjust the parameters, lock onto 071 and 323, provide fire coverage."
The ship's guns and missiles all turned and locked onto the target.
Whoosh!
Whew...
A dense mass of artillery shells and missiles soared into the air, flying toward the target area.
Meanwhile, the 2nd Regiment Commander was already at his limit, his vision was blurry, but he did not fall. He weakly swung his broadsword, slaying any enemy who dared to advance.
"Two more dead, worth it, worth it."
A venomous glint flashed in the eyes of the enemy's junior leader, who nodded to the person beside him.
One group attacked from the front, while the other two groups advanced cautiously from the flanks.
The 2nd Regiment Commander was only focused on the front and did not guard against the flanks, so his body was pierced by countless swords and blades.
"Pfft!" He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with resentment. With a roar, he used his last strength to swing his broadsword and slit the throat of the enemy who had no time to draw his weapon.
My vision became increasingly blurry, and I could no longer hear clearly.
Suddenly, a tremendous roar came from afar. The 2nd Regiment Commander was startled. "Finally caught up? Good, good!"
Summoning the last of his strength, he shouted hoarsely, "Long live the Navy..."
The enemy was terrified by the roar and fled in panic.
boom!
Boom...
Explosions were happening all along the entire defensive line, mushroom clouds shot straight into the sky, smoke was thick as viscous, and flames soared into the heavens.
The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Regiments defended the border with their lives.
As Lei Shiyu watched the images transmitted back by the spy satellite, she burst into tears, standing ramrod straight, "You are the heroes, you are the heroes!"
Everyone turned towards the unnamed hill on the border, saluted, tears streaming down their faces...
The fierce battle did not end with the destruction of one hilltop; an even fiercer battle had begun.
Qi Yan appeared on the big screen with a stern face. "Order: All ships, boats, and vessels must immediately withdraw to the border of the Dragon Kingdom. Our navy are also soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, and we cannot allow our army brothers to bleed and sacrifice any more."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
All of China's naval fleets outside the country are rapidly returning home.
Qi Yan glanced down at the direction the enemy had appeared and shouted sharply, "Lock onto the border! Wherever there's a large troop buildup, bombard it! No need to ask for permission!"
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
With the navy launching a full-scale attack, the pressure on the army was immediately relieved, and it gradually began to retake the occupied territories.
One battlefield was an exception, changing hands repeatedly, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
"Damn it, I refuse to believe we can't hold this line!" Cao Ligong ripped off his military cap, rushed to the first line of defense, and pulled aside the machine gunner. "I'll take over!"
The dark mass of enemies began their charge.
"Heavy fire in a 'one' line, sharpshooters take out the enemy commander, mountain guns bombard the area with the most enemies."
The order was given, and the enemy's formation was instantly disrupted.
Martins, who was watching from a distance, frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Such strong adaptability."
He quickly formed hand seals and chanted, "Break the whole into smaller units and fight independently."
The troops quickly made way.
Cao Ligong was eager for you to disperse, so he waved his hand behind him, and countless ultra-long-range flamethrowers appeared, with fire dragons falling in front of the position.
No matter which direction the enemy charges from, they will face the test of a sea of fire.
Moving forward will result in being burned, while retreating will result in being shot dead by sharpshooters.
Soon, the enemy's formation was thrown into chaos, and some soldiers even deserted.
Martins wasn't about to let them escape. He bit his finger, spilling a drop of blood, and the fleeing crowd froze in place, their eyes instantly shifting from terror to fanaticism.
He charged toward the defending troops without regard for anything else.
These are easy targets; even new recruits who have just learned to pull the trigger can clear them out row by row, let alone veterans.
The number of enemies dwindled, leaving corpses strewn across the ground. Dark blood flowed like a stream into the low-lying areas, occasionally emitting an eerie glow...
