The news of the Nanfeng City disaster spread, and the entire Häagen-Dazs Kingdom was plunged into panic.
The city of tens of thousands of people had no survivors and was devoured by a group of terrifying arthropods and reptiles.
After receiving the information, the kingdom immediately requested assistance from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
In fact, this information was discovered under Amon's guidance; otherwise, given the corruption and incompetence of the kingdom's officials, the soul beast army would have driven straight in, turning the people of Häagen-Dazs City into food for their bellies.
The king would only realize that the soul beasts were wreaking havoc in his territory when the gates of the palace were about to be breached.
Marshal Goron, hailed as the pillar of the empire, was appointed in a time of crisis, leading the most elite Heaven Dou Royal Knights, temporarily mobilized regular troops, and thousands of soul masters sent by various sects to support the battlefield.
The Bear Monarch's offensive was temporarily halted, and the well-trained army of hundreds of thousands, equipped with sophisticated equipment, could completely fight against the soul beast horde, which lacked organization and discipline.
Although under the Bear Monarch's control, they barely maintained harmony with each other, cooperation and coordinated operations were out of the question.
They should be thankful if they didn't hurt their own people during the chaotic battles.
The Bear Monarch originally wanted to rely on its powerful strength to force a bloody path, but it dared not be reckless in the face of the legion-level attacks unleashed by many soul masters.
Those combined attacks were enough to seriously injure or even kill it.
Imperial Marshal Goron demonstrated his excellent military qualities.
An army of hundreds of thousands of people, even a simple transfer and dispatch is a very complex matter, which tests the commander's organizational and management skills.
However, Goron coordinated the relationship between the various legions in a short period of time, placed the right people in the right positions, and also allowed the complex soul master team to play its due role.
After a few days of stalemate in a city, the Bear Monarch suddenly retreated.
It did not fight to the death with Goron's army, but instead went to attack other human cities.
Goron was too late to react and failed to stop it, and two more cities were breached, with the residents of the city becoming food for the soul beasts.
The arthropod and reptile soul beast army led by the Bear Monarch is absolutely terrifying.
They do not need supplies, and the humans along the way are their food.
They do not need roads, and they can walk on even the steepest cliffs as if they were on flat ground.
Goron had to face a very serious problem, that his army was far less mobile than the Bear Monarch's soul beast legion.
He was in an extremely passive situation.
If he blindly pursued, he might encounter soul beast traps in the wild.
Although they are currently winning and have the advantage, this advantage is not significant.
However, if he does not pursue, he will be letting down Xue Ye's instructions.
Allowing the soul beasts to wreak havoc in the country will bring great losses to the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, the good news is that it is not the people under the direct territory of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family who are now under the threat of soul beasts, but the kingdom that already has rebellious intentions.
Their weakening will help stabilize the Heaven Dou Empire.
"By the way, where is Duke Amon? Isn't he the target of the soul beasts? As long as he shows up, the soul beasts will no longer attack other places."
The Minister of Military Affairs of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom saw the current situation and was anxious, and couldn't help but put forward the proposal of using Amon as bait.
In fact, his proposal was of no use at all.
Even if Amon stood in front of the Bear Monarch, it wouldn't even give him a second glance, unless killing the other party was just a matter of convenience, otherwise it would never bother to expend effort.
Because it had killed too many, and was numb to it.
Di Tian's ultimate goal in launching this beast tide was not to kill one or two of Amon's avatars, but to make Amon a sinner of mankind, and to make everyone hate him.
Only when he is not tolerated by the whole world and has nowhere to hide can Di Tian be sure to find all his avatars and truly and completely kill him.
The mighty soul beast army strode through human territory with death and fear, while the army that should have guarded human territory was still hesitating in place.
Another human city was brutally massacred, with blood all over the city and corpses everywhere.
In front of spiders, ants, centipedes, snakes, and other soul beasts with special perception abilities, there was no place to hide.
Even if they hid in the most secret cellar, they would eventually be discovered, dragged out, and die under those hideous mouthparts or fangs.
However, this time, the Bear Monarch did not give the soul beasts time to completely clean up the city.
After the people on the surface were killed, it left with them.
This was not its mercy, but it needed these living people to spread despair and fear.
They don't need to worry about whether this will cause the opposition between all human beings and soul beasts, leading to the opposite effect, because Star Luo has united with them.
Bang!
The Häagen-Dazs Kingdom's Minister of Military Affairs slammed his somewhat chubby hand heavily on the conference table: "Damn it, aren't you here to solve the soul beasts? Just watch them wreak havoc and do nothing?"
Goron's face was not very good-looking, and he tried his best to use a calm tone: "I understand your mood.
It is not our wish that things have developed to this point, but I cannot let the soldiers die in vain."
"Marshal, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has sent reinforcements."
A soldier came in to report.
"Quick, please."
Goron's face showed a look of surprise.
The visitor was an old man with neat silver hair, dressed in white, and exuding a sharp aura.
Sword Douluo, Chen Xin!
"The Sect Master heard that you were having some trouble here, so he asked me to come and assist."
Chen Xin said lightly.
"You came at just the right time.
We are now having a headache because of the Bear Monarch's tactics."
Goron stepped forward quickly.
"The military situation is urgent, and I don't have time to hold a reception for Pavilion Chen Xin, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, what can I do, just tell me."
Sword Douluo nodded.
"I wonder if Pavilion Chen Xin is confident in stopping the Bear Monarch?"
Goron asked.
Chen Xin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "If it is a one-on-one fight, I will definitely die, but with the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples, although I am not confident in defeating him, it is not a problem to barely entangle him."
"Then what if you add me?"
A slightly old voice came from behind, and countless white threads gathered into a human form.
"Walter?
Aren't you in Spirit Hall City?"
Chen Xin asked in confusion.
Walter smiled, "I have a hunch that Spirit Hall City is probably just one direction of the soul beasts' attack.
They will launch attacks from other places, so I didn't go back."
Because Walter himself is a very extreme person, he will also consider the extreme behavior of the soul beasts, such as bypassing Spirit Hall City and directly slaughtering civilians.
In fact, he was already present when the soul beasts slaughtered the second city, but he did not rush up to save people, and waited all the time.
Until Sword Douluo arrived, he felt confident that he would show up.
"Sword Douluo and I can completely entangle the Bear Monarch... We can let the soul masters set off first to block the soul beasts.
Your cavalry will follow closely behind, and finally the slowest infantry, taking advantage of the soul masters and cavalry fighting with the soul beasts, rush to the battlefield."
Walter suggested.
Goron nodded, "I also have this intention, and I need to pay attention to one thing.
The distance between the soul masters, cavalry, and infantry cannot be too far, this is still a limitation, but it is much better than before."
...
The auspicious beast is the carrier of the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest.
When Amon absorbed the auspicious beast's soul ring, he was counterattacked by the power of destiny, so he simply swallowed the destiny of the soul beasts together.
Now, there is a trace of connection in destiny between him and every soul beast belonging to the Star Dou Great Forest.
He can feel that there are two very strong destinies in the direction of Spirit Hall City, one in the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom of the Heaven Dou Empire, one in the Star Luo Empire, and one in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
In addition, there is a looming behemoth that is flickering in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The first three are Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Bear Monarch.
The one in the Star Luo Empire is probably the Ten Thousand Devil Monarch, the one in the Star Dou Great Forest is Zi Ji, and the last behemoth... is it the Silver Dragon King or the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?
Amon thought in his heart.
The string of destiny was touched, and a clone sent a message.
He suddenly looked up, looked towards Star Luo, raised his hand and stroked his monocle, and muttered softly: "Interesting."
Then, he summoned Yan Jin, Lei Yin, and Romier, "Lei Yin, Yan Jin, you will go to Liuyun City with me, Romier, find a place to hide yourself, preferably a remote town where no one knows you.
For the next period of time, maybe I will have to play hide-and-seek with others."
"Ah?
Has someone powerful set their sights on us?"
Yan Jin scratched his head.
"Well, you, me, and Lei Yin can run, Romier probably won't be able to escape if he is discovered."
The Heaven Dou city, which is far away from Xingyao City, is now surrounded.
They didn't even have time to pass on the news of the Star Luo Empire's invasion, and were besieged by the White Tiger Army riding on armored earth dragons, flame lions, and bone mammoths.
The number of the White Tiger Army is not large, with a total number of less than 20,000, and even fewer riding soul beasts, only about 5,000.
But this is the elite among the elite.
Shangyun City on the Heaven Dou Empire's side is also garrisoned by an army of 10,000 people.
Originally, it was more than enough to defend the city, but with the variable of soul beasts, the situation is very different.
After Wei Zhaowu surrounded Shangyun City with the White Tiger Army, he shouted to persuade them to surrender without success, and immediately began to attack the city.
The wyverns and hell demons in the sky made the Heaven Dou soldiers' advantage on the city wall illusory.
Those terrible monsters with wings constantly swooped down, grabbed the soldiers with their feet, immediately flew up, and then released their claws, allowing them to fall from the sky.
The number of wyverns is not large, but they also brought great chaos.
Two hell demons hovered and spewed purple flames, igniting the city wall.
The purple flames seemed to be inextinguishable.
As soon as they touched a little, they immediately burned all over the body, and the warriors could only turn into charred corpses emitting the aroma of meat in wailing screams.
A particularly huge bone mammoth slammed its body against the thick city gate, and after a few hits, the city gate collapsed inward with a muffled roar.
The White Tiger Army entered in droves and launched a brutal massacre.
