The unbridled probing from other continents had long fueled their anger, and their six months of forbearance and rigorous training were all for the purpose of upholding national prestige.
At this moment, they were fighting against a hundred enemies single-handedly. Without any unnecessary movements, they swiftly raised their knives and brought them down before any blood was drawn.
Before long, the battlefield was divided into a clean area by the Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards.
They seemed to be exceptionally familiar with the battlefield terrain, and without much planning, they had already brought the Ever Victorious Army into their safe zone.
He then took a small bundle from his person and threw it to the Ever Victorious Army, telling them to rest and bandage their wounds.
"Get some rest, and wait for us to go home together."
After saying this, Long Wei turned to face the enemy and said no more.
Unbeknownst to them, the Ever Victorious Army was encircled in a safe zone by the Dragon Guard and the Phoenix Guard, surrounded only by their comrades and no longer by enemies.
The soldiers wiped away their tears, said nothing more, silently applied medicine to each other's wounds, and made the most of their time to rest.
They had been fighting since morning, a whole day, and were completely exhausted. Now, they collapsed on the ground, feeling utterly drained of energy.
He had been clinging to life by sheer willpower, but upon seeing reinforcements, his strength gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, yet the light in his eyes lingered.
The war drums of Mount Sumeru sounded again, but the sound was different from usual.
Everyone looked behind them and saw drums being played high in the air.
The drumbeats, imbued with inner strength, were awe-inspiring.
As the drumbeats changed, the Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards moved in sync with them, their speed and strength increasing rapidly, as if they had inexhaustible energy.
The roars of killing the enemy grew louder and louder with each shout.
This is the battle hymn left behind by Yun Qingluo before she left. Combined with the special formation of this hymn, it can greatly enhance the strength and morale of the army and crush the enemy's arrogance and conceit.
Enemy camp.
"It's bad, General! Reinforcements from the Sumeru Continent have arrived!" The news of the Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards' support quickly spread throughout the battlefield and reached the ears of the enemy generals.
Inside the tent were three generals.
They are Xu Ci from the Ghost Continent, Jiang De from the Void Continent, and Ming Siqing, the sixth prince of the Underworld Continent. These three are the main generals of their respective continents.
Both the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent sent their Grand Generals, while the Underworld Continent sent its Sixth Prince.
"Reinforcements have arrived? That's to be expected. Their numbers aren't even enough for my army to practice against," Ming Siqing sneered, mocking him.
The Ghost Continent and the Void Continent each sent one million troops, while the Underworld Continent sent two million. Four million troops faced off against the ever-victorious army of over one million.
Winning is only a matter of time.
"Reporting to the general, the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard have arrived," the young officer who came to report said tremblingly.
"Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards? The guardian deities of the Sumeru Continent?" Ming Siqing, the sixth prince of the Netherworld Continent, asked in surprise.
Before he came, he had already found out everything about the situation on the Sumeru Continent.
"The Sumeru Continent actually sent Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards to provide support. Is there no one else? How ridiculous." Ming Siqing sat down in a chair, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.
"What is the situation on the battlefield?" Jiang De was cautious and did not underestimate the Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards of the Sumeru Continent.
Upon hearing this, Ming Siqing snorted coldly, while Jiang De pretended not to hear it.
The young general quickly replied, "Reporting to the general, the battlefield has been divided in two by the Dragon Guard and the Phoenix Guard, creating a safe zone for the Ever Victorious Army to recuperate and heal."
"Oh? Everyone says that the situation on the battlefield can change in an instant. The previous advantage was on our side, but now the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard have turned the tide so quickly. They are not to be underestimated." Jiang De looked surprised.
Upon hearing this, Ming Siqing was startled but remained silent.
Xu Ci remained calm and composed. "How many Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards have come?"
"Reporting to the general, I estimate there are a million troops." The young general was also somewhat incredulous, even doubting whether the military report was accurate.
This time they mobilized three million soldiers; two million were mobilized in the morning, and another one million were mobilized at noon.
Three million soldiers faced off against more than one million Ever Victorious Army soldiers. They had a huge numerical advantage and originally planned to wait until nightfall, when the Ever Victorious Army was exhausted, and then send another 500,000 soldiers to the battlefield to reap the kills. However, they did not expect that when night fell, they would receive news that the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard were coming to the aid of the Ever Victorious Army.
"What? One million?" Ming Siqing stood up in shock.
"Reporting to the Sixth Prince, the soldiers who came to deliver the message said that only 500,000 Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards have gone to the battlefield to fight the enemy."
"Only 500,000? What about the other 500,000?"
"Another 500,000 Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards are protecting the Ever Victorious Army, keeping them in a safe area so they can heal and rest in peace," the young general replied cautiously, head bowed.
This is so bizarre.
He had participated in dozens of wars, and no army had ever been so powerful as to set up camps on the battlefield and rest and heal on the spot. It was something he had never heard of or seen before.
He was even tempted to go to the battlefield himself and see for himself.
Jiang De was shocked. "We have three million soldiers, and they now have two million, but one million have already exhausted their strength. Now they are only sending five hundred thousand to meet the enemy. Are the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard really that powerful?"
Xu Ci's expression also darkened. Of their three million troops, two million had fought for a whole day and might be exhausted, but the sheer number of men was undeniable.
Three million against five hundred thousand, and still managed to split the battlefield in two, becoming stronger with each setback. Could it be that the Sumeru Continent has truly been underestimated?
"General, the messenger outside is waiting for the password. Please make your decision." The young general spoke under pressure.
Originally, after reaping the heads of the Ever Victorious Army tonight, they could have rested and returned home in triumph.
Unexpectedly, a guardian deity appeared out of nowhere, catching them completely off guard.
"I suggest we retreat and wait for the main army to return so we can rest and recuperate. This will also allow us to learn more about the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard. They disappeared for nearly a century and have now reappeared without our knowledge. We cannot attack rashly," Jiang De suggested, his face grim.
Ming Siqing gave a cold laugh. "General Jiang also said that the Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard have been missing for nearly a hundred years and have now suddenly reappeared. Who knows if they are just bluffing? I suggest sending reinforcements to decide the outcome in one fell swoop."
Upon hearing this, Jiang De's face turned cold. "Sixth Prince, the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing. The Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard, with only 500,000 men, have separated our 3 million soldiers from the Ever Victorious Army. The situation is clear. We cannot be hasty and reckless at this time."
Ming Siqing sneered, "General Jiang is afraid? My Mingyuan Army is not afraid. Besides, I have good news for you. I have already sent a message to my father, and he has dispatched two million more troops. They should be arriving at the Sumeru Continent soon. If you are afraid, you can withdraw your troops."
"What? An additional two million have been allocated?" Jiang De and Xu Ci exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
At this time, the reinforcements from the Netherworld Continent are probably not just about sending reinforcements.
