All the kings and nobles, even the Marquis of Wuding who had prepared himself mentally, couldn't help but gasp in shock, because...
The number of alien kings and powerful figures appearing in this vast starry sky far exceeded their expectations.
The number of the foreign kings and nobles who were originally besieging Beidu has been roughly determined by the repeated probing by the people, and should be around a hundred.
But at this moment, there were far more than a hundred of them appearing in the starry sky!
Besides the numerous kings and nobles such as the Celestial Clan and the Power Clan who have already appeared in the probing, there are also hundreds of other figures with immense auras in this starry sky.
Among them were terrifying creatures with one leg resembling enormous water buffaloes, giant birds like phoenixes with their bodies engulfed in raging flames and hundreds of miles long, dragon-like creatures resembling divine dragons, and four enormous humanoid beings clad in armor with ferocious faces...
"Kui Niu, Chao Feng... those are the Four Heavenly Kings from the myths and legends of Heaven?"
The human kings and nobles wore solemn expressions, and quickly realized what was going on.
"Those mythical creatures that had previously disappeared from the Heavenly Realm have all appeared here now..."
They already knew from the intelligence they received before the sinking that most of those creatures had gone overseas and were controlled by scavengers, but because they had never shown themselves, everyone's memory of them had faded.
Only now did the human kings and nobles realize that it was simply because the witches had not used them.
These creatures were all shrouded in a faint black mist, the same kind of black mist that had appeared on Wu Wei and the others who had temporarily broken through to the Martial King realm. It exuded a mysterious and eerie aura, and just one glance was enough to make Wu Dinghou and the others feel dizzy.
"Hold your breath and concentrate, ignore those black mists!" Marquis Wuding shouted in a low voice, his face extremely solemn.
The situation is several times more desperate than anticipated...
Even with the addition of Cheng Qingqing, Ling Xiao, and others who came to support them later, the number of human kings and nobles present at this time was only forty.
The king-level combat power waiting for them in the starry sky is more than four times their size.
Among them are top-tier kings and nobles like the leaders of the Celestial Clan and the Power Clan, who have been suppressed under Mount Wansui since ancient times. Although they are not Martial Kings, they are still at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals. In addition, with the revived Heavenly Court beasts, their combat strength at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals is definitely above twenty people.
At this moment, among the human kings and nobles present, only Jiang Huan, Duke of Huainan, and Duke of Liuhu possessed the combat power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Including Marquis Wuding, who was empowered by the power of the Nine Cauldrons, and Cheng Qingqing, whose combat power was unknown, there were at most five people.
Most importantly, the powerful Wu Clan members with true Martial King-level combat strength broke free from their underground seal a moment ago, but have not yet shown themselves. However, if the Wu Clan's Grand Elder and Queen also join this battle...
"Gentlemen, if things cannot be accomplished in a moment, perhaps..."
After a slight hesitation, Marquis Wuding suddenly spoke.
However, before Marquis Wuding could finish speaking, Ling Xiao suddenly interrupted with a light laugh, saying, "Marquis Wuding is joking. What is there to 'not as good as'? Is there any place on Earth where we can retreat? Now that we are here today, what regrets or long-cherished wishes do we have? All we seek is a battle."
"Yes, it's nothing more than a battle!" Shi Dingyan laughed loudly.
"war!"
The others also let out a low shout.
Having survived the internal strife in the city center, the remaining kings and nobles are staunch supporters of the Nine Kings faction, having long since disregarded life and death.
They could all understand the unspoken meaning behind Marquis Wuding's words, but the capital had become the last line of defense for humanity. Unless they fled into space, where else could they retreat to?
Moreover, they still held onto a glimmer of hope.
They all knew that humanity's final defeat wouldn't come from here, even though no one had the confidence that the boy, barely twenty, could truly turn the tide as Wu Wei had said...
But no matter what, they have no way out.
"It is I who am being pretentious. Despite my military background, I am not as insightful as you all when it comes to this."
Marquis Wuding gave a self-deprecating smile, then said softly, "There is no chance of winning in a direct confrontation. The only option is to take a risky gamble. Gentlemen, let's proceed according to plan."
As soon as the words were spoken, the gazes of all the human kings and nobles hardened.
In a desperate battle, you must hold nothing back!
"The Witch Emperor has decreed that today we shall slaughter all human kings and nobles, and completely occupy the Yuan land. At that time, the secrets of chaos will be shared with you!"
At this moment, the leader of the Celestial Clan, the powerful king-lord named Adlermu who had briefly clashed with Marquis Wuding, shouted loudly after the human kings and lords appeared in the starry sky.
"kill!"
Boom!
The sheer power of over two hundred king-level experts erupted in an instant, causing countless tiny spatial rifts to appear in the starry sky. Even the moon, which had been shining on Earth for countless ages, was shaken and shifted its position hundreds of miles away.
However, to the surprise of all the alien kings and nobles, even when they were at a significant disadvantage, the human kings and nobles were more decisive than they were.
Almost the instant the Celestial Clan leader finished speaking, the phantom of the Nine Cauldrons of China shone into the starry sky. With the full activation of the power of the Nine Cauldrons, the aura of all the human kings and nobles instantly soared.
With a strange roar, a large emerald green serpent with beautiful and mysterious patterns on its body appeared instantly among a group of alien kings and nobles. The patterns on its body suddenly shone brightly, and the dozen or so Golden Immortal level kings and nobles nearby, who had just become wary, were immediately stunned.
Time and space seemed to freeze around them, and the only thing that could move was the emerald green serpent. With a fierce flick of its tail, accompanied by the cracking of the void, it actually ripped the bodies of those kings and nobles into powder.
"ah!"
