Chapter 447

War flags fluttered in the wind, and war drums sounded.

A tight defensive line had already been formed along the border of the Nether Continent.

Using the thick and tall city walls of the twenty border cities as a foundation, the army of the Middle Continent had set up a massive defensive array that could isolate all the enemies outside.

Countless cultivators donned their helmets and armor on the city walls, ready for battle!

On the tallest city wall, the commander of the three-million-strong army, True Jade Sacred Lord, had a solemn expression as she gazed at the black mass of enemy soldiers.

On the left was a million Corpse Soldiers. Yin energy surged into the sky, and wherever they passed, not a single blade of grass would grow.

On the right was a massive beast tide. Great Fey were riding ferocious beasts and wielding spears or halberds.

And in the middle was the core of the Five Races Alliance, the elite assassin army from the Celestial Court!

Such an unprecedented joint army was slowly and steadily advancing toward the borders of the Empire, exerting a heavy pressure on the people.

Black clouds pressed down on the city. True Jade Sacred Lord's heart tightened as she sensed the murderous aura coming from the massive army.

In her entire life, she had never commanded a battle of such a large scale.

Rumble!

The massive army trampled across the ground, causing the earth to shake.

Countless border guards were sweating, their hearts trembling because of the terrifying beast tide and the unkillable Corpse Ghost Army.

One hundred kilometers, twenty-five kilometers, thirty kilometers …

When the Five Races Alliance was only ten kilometers away from the border, True Jade Sacred Lord gave an order to the entire army.

"Once the enemy enters the two-and-a-half-kilometer range, the first volley of arrows will be fired!"

The two-and-a-half-kilometer range was the effective killing range of the standard crossbow bolts of the Middle Continent.

As long as the first volley of arrows could effectively kill and injure the enemy, their defense of the city would be halfway to success.

"Wu ~ ~ ~"

True Jade Sacred Lord had just given the order when the enemy's bugle horn sounded. The enemy stopped ten kilometers away from the city and stopped advancing.

"What's going on? They're not attacking anymore? "

True Jade Sacred Lord and the other Sect Masters could not help but look at each other.

Huangfu Yi expressionlessly stood next to True Jade Sacred Lord with two Dark Sky Guards by his side.

Seeing that the Five Races Alliance had stopped advancing, his gaze swept toward the center of the enemy formation, and his pupils constricted.

There, a domineering battleship that shone with a cold black light floated in the air, slowly approaching.

On that warship, there were two completely different flags fluttering in the wind, reflecting into the eyes of the imperial army.

One of the flags represented the alliance of the five clans, and the other was the Dragon Phoenix Flag that belonged to the royal family of the Central Plains.

For a moment, countless soldiers on the defensive line whispered. They were all moved by the Dragon Phoenix Banner!

The Sky Patrol Warship slowly flew over and actually flew past the allied forces of the five races. It took the lead and stopped less than one and a half kilometers away from the border city.

Going so deep into the battlefield and not fearing that the reinforcements would not be able to arrive in time, whether it was out of self-confidence or some other motive, the cultivators of the Central Plains were all stunned.

"Look, that's the Overlord!"

Since the Sky Patrol Warship was so close, someone quickly saw everything on the ship.

At the bow of the battleship, Gu Chen was dressed in a white robe. His black hair fluttered in the wind as he held the hand of a beautiful girl beside him.

Behind the two of them, there was no one else.

As he stood there, he immediately became the focus of the entire world, causing a huge uproar!

"The commander-in-chief of the five clans is actually standing at the forefront of the battlefield. Has the Overlord gone mad?"

"There are only two of them. They can't even be considered a lone army! The Overlord is too arrogant. What does he want to do? "

"Eh! Princess Lanchu! The one standing next to the Overlord is Princess Lanchu! "

The soldiers of the empire discussed and soon discovered that the girl beside the Overlord was actually the former royal family Princess Lanchu, who was rumored to have died a long time ago.

"Attack! Attack immediately! Kill the Overlord! "

Huangfu Yi was on the city tower. When he saw that only Gu Chen and the girl were on the Sky Patrol Warship, his face suddenly became extremely ferocious.

His proudest son, Huangfu Qingming, was tortured to death by Gu Chen, and he also lost two legs because of him. The hatred could be said to be irreconcilable.

Originally, he thought that the Overlord, as the commander-in-chief of the five clans, would only have a chance to see the enemy after completely annihilating the enemy. He did not expect the Overlord to be so bold as to take the initiative to come over!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Sky Patrol Warship was closer to them than to their own people. They could definitely kill the Overlord instantly with their powerful vitality!

As long as the Overlord was killed, the Five Clan Alliance would naturally collapse!

"But, Princess Lanchu is …"

Hearing Huangfu Yi's request, True Jade Divine Lord could not help but hesitate.

The former royal family Princess Lanchu was on the ship, and there were still many supporters of the former royal family in the army. If he rashly opened fire on the only remaining bloodline of the former royal family, it was likely to cause dissatisfaction among these people.

More importantly, the Overlord was there!

As the saying went, a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. He had heard countless rumors about the Overlord and knew how terrifying this person was.

At this moment, since he dared to come to them on the warship alone, he must have something to rely on. If he rashly attacked, he might fall into a trap.

"Attack! I ordered you to attack. Have you forgotten who gives the orders here? "

Huangfu Yi did not care about anything at all. He saw this as a good opportunity to kill the Overlord, and his tone was cold and undeniable.

True Jade Divine Lord gritted her teeth. Although she was the commander of the army, she actually had to listen to Huangfu Yi's orders. She could only do as he said.

"Destroy that warship!"

Instantly, a large destructive light appeared on top of the city wall and surged toward the warship!

Hum —

The layers of arrays on the warship were immediately activated, blocking all the Dharma spells and Dharma treasures.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen held Princess Lanchu's hand and spoke with a cold expression.

"Huangfu Yi, the only legitimate bloodline of the Middle Earth Empire's royal family is here, yet you still dare to attack. This further confirms the fact that the Huangfu family is plotting to usurp the throne!

"In the name of the royal family's national general, I order all of you to surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will pay a painful price!"

His voice was like thunder, spreading throughout the 75 cities at the border.

"Overlord, stop trying to impress the public! That Princess Lanchu is fake. She really died a long time ago!

"What national general are you? You're just an invader who wants to destroy the homeland that the people of Middle Earth have lived in for generations!"

Huangfu Yi's expression was cold, and he immediately retorted.

This Overlord was really despicable. He wanted to turn his army into an army of justice and win the support of the ordinary people of the Nine States.

If he really took the name of righteousness, then all the feudal lords in the Nine States would rebel. That would be a nightmare for the Huangfu family.

"As expected, he's not easy to deal with."

Gu Chen frowned slightly. Huangfu Yi was not a brainless person. With a few simple words, he had repositioned himself as an invader.

As long as the people of the Nine States believed that he was an invader who was here to destroy their homeland, then the soldiers would be unprecedentedly united. They would explode with powerful battle strength and bring great trouble to the Five-Clan Alliance.
