Chapter 927: This Night's Brilliance
we get past the preliminaries, the Academy Cup is an offline competition. I definitely don't want to get beaten up....""Wait... Wait a minute Shield Card Master" The Fatty turned his head in astonish...The Gate Tower crashed heavily into the high tower, and ladders were set up on all the major transportation routes inside the city.
The first wave of dragon riders launched seventeen siege towers.
Tens of thousands of mountain and sea troops surged through the passageways of the Institution Building, instantly occupying key locations within the city.
After the infantry was deployed, the ballista tower drew out a gigantic battle knife and slashed wildly at its surroundings. The surrounding towers were cut in half by the hundreds-meter-long silver-patterned blade!
The guards at the tower reacted very quickly.
Jerusalem, the city, was built on the foundation of the Heavenly Saint Empire and empowered the ultimate field giant Leviathan.
But even when losing weight, it's done with teeth bared.
The outer city's defenses are extremely high, boasting six weapon emplacements, falling only slightly short of the defensive card "Great Wall" of the same era.
The inner city's four bases are even left with remains of the Great Wall.
During weight reduction, a main weapon slot was removed from the inner city. After the defeat at Yumen Pass, the Holy Emperor ordered the construction of a gathering field and dismantled one.
There is still more to come.
First, the Temple of Solomon.
This ancient relic, dating back to the Card Era as described in the Bible, was originally built by the Heavenly Emperor Empire. Despite its age, it still possesses immense power.
When the Dragon Riders dashed through the thunder, they launched seven siege towers towards Solomon's Temple. Four were destroyed in mid-air by the temple's light of Solomon!
The gigantic wreck plunged into the city, causing a deafening explosion.
The remaining weapon emplacements fell to the surrounding temple, beginning to deploy Shan Hai infantry. Elite Shan Hai soldiers clashed with the temple guards in a brutal fight.
And the second is, Dead Sea - Legend Whirlpool.
Legendary Sea Territory Defense Cards' colossal geysers blot out the sky, corrosive scalding salt water forming an aerosol in the air that deals lethal damage!
The Dragon Knights deployed their siege tower and then swooped in for a dive bombing attack on the Dead Sea.
Zhuge Yun's Bai Long armor is the thickest and performs the best.
Charging at the forefront, the rest of the dragon riders formed a long snake formation and charged down.
Zilong shouted loudly.
The silver gun ripped through the vortex.
On the platform where Bai Long was attacking, Fei Lian seized the opportunity and launched a volley of arrows at the guards.
Feathers of angels crafted into copper, falling like a shower of raindrops, forming a curtain in the air.
Under the attack, the Dead Sea garrison suffered heavy casualties.
However, Bai Long was locked by the whirlpool for too long and couldn't hold on for much longer.
Guan Yu immediately followed, using the momentum of the mechanical dragon to swing his sword down from the air.
The Crescent Blade's energy cleaved the water surface, splitting the sea in two.
"Hold your horses!"
"Understood!" Lü Bu, having been robbed of his Bai Long by Zhao Yun, felt a sense of resentment. During battles, it was always Zhao Yun who led the charge and achieved victory first.
The dragon roared and urged forward, surging past the whirlpools, its blade slashing across the sea surface as it charged towards Guan Yu.
Closer and closer.
In the era of extraordinary times, the closer one is to the energy source, the less energy loss there is. As a top-tier general, Lu Bu naturally understands this principle.
The swirling current scraped against my body, a searing pain. Corrosion-laced water lashed against the vehicle, creating a grating screech that was quickly drowned out by the sonic boom.
We are about to reach the dead sea.
Beside them, a squadron of angels burst forth.
These cheap angels are former soldiers of the Holy Nation and not from Colossae. They were deployed to the rear to work, but now they have been temporarily promoted to fight dragon riders, allowing the vortex to take effect.
Lü Bu fired from the dragon's rear platform, raining arrows down on the approaching Angels. Many were cut down by the hail of bolts, but a number still pressed into the range.
"A host of shrimp and crabs, dare to face me, Lü Bu, the foremost warrior!!" Lü Bu held aloft the Fang Tian Painted Halberd, forged from the ashes of his ever-changing mourning staff. He drew a large circle around himself!
The angels were torn to shreds, their body parts falling from the sky like broken wires in a bloody rain. The other attacking angels, witnessing this horrific scene, froze in terror.
Lu Bu's tactics and strategy were basically zero, but he was rich in combat experience. He thought about it, the distance was just right, and if he went any further, he would probably be torn apart by the whirlpool.
Fang Tianji circled once and then slashed downwards.
The powerful aura of death sliced through the water surface, which had been split apart by the crescent moon blade energy but hadn't come together yet.
Frozen three thousand miles of noodles.
Leveraging emergency stretching!
The three top-ranked dragon cavalry generals were all hit by the whirlpool, forced to retreat. But the combined martial arts skill "Dead Sea Split" and "Cave Master" almost completely blocked half of the Dead Sea's jet fire!
Huo Qubing saw the enemy's battle formation and ordered a surprise attack.
The Imperial Dragon Riders charged down on their lances, plunging into the Dead Sea.
The Battle of Solomon's Temple raged for the third day, with hostilities reaching a fever pitch.
The Temple Guards are the elite of the Holy Nation's army. They lack morale in this sense, but their combat proficiency is exceptional.
Facing the elite mountain and sea forces, he remained fearless.
But suffered heavy losses on equipment.
The Lord uses light infantry, with mobility as the primary focus.
When it comes to skirmishes, the Mountain and Sea Heavy Infantry's headgear is way more effective than theirs!
Within three days, the Shan Hai forces still had three fortified towers remaining. From three directions, they launched a total of six waves of attacks.
At one point, they even stormed the main hall and seized the Sanctuary Square three times.
But they were all guarded by the Temple guards.
On the third night, the Scorpio-style demonic energy bullet pierced into the plaza's foundation, and demonic energy permeated the temple's underground passage.
The temple guards in the pit will be forced to face a fourth direct confrontation on the square.
The commander of the Temple Guards is dead, and most of the messengers have been killed by the Mountain and Sea Mechanism on the tower. The scorpion-type fire shook everything to pieces.
Still, couriers who could still hear were screaming their lungs out about something.
The creaking of the machinery grew louder once again.
Everyone understands.
The fourth wave of attack has arrived.
Boom!
The Fourth Sacred Column collapsed under the weight.
Over the next two seconds, giant, ferocious figures burst from the smoke.
The Shan Hai Si Niu (Beast of the Mountain and Sea) with a halberd formation charged into the plaza area.
An adult half-machine Rhinoceros bull served as armor, covering the mountain and sea warriors all around, reaching over four meters tall.
It starts up like a bulldozer.
On the armor, a terrifying unicorn charged into the crowd, rampaging!
The light infantry's lines were shattered.
The Temple Guards are few, perhaps they know that their time is up.
The Lord looked down upon the glittering city of Jerusalem, his eyes cold.
The Outer City defenses of six slots were completely ineffective, as the Shanhai Legion tore through them and directly airdropped into the Inner City District.
Now, the Dead Sea is being bombarded by freezing.
The Temple of Solomon is in peril.
The Lord's mind was filled with a thought: Jerusalem will be destroyed.
But how did they manage to bypass the card block
That special lightning field should have the effects of increasing combat radius and defense penetration, it was used as early as the Battle of Jade Gate Pass, but there's no reason it should bypass the "blocking" effect.
Keep in mind, to launch a surprise attack against a unit with blockers, you'll need higher energy and cards of a higher star level.
Suddenly, the Lord seemed to have thought of something.
Understood!
Thunder King has been defeated!!
This old thing took refuge in the Holy Nation, but failed to stop the invasion of the wasteland camp and was attacked into the royal city.
The Queen wore a crown with a dazzling lightning-bolt gem!
It has to be!!!
Actually, the Holy Lord overestimated King Thunder.
Zhou Yu burned down 30,000 of the enemy's vanguard troops. Bai Qi's massive army laid siege to the city. Thunder King only put up a symbolic resistance for two days before surrendering.
Under the reckoning, his crimes were far more serious than those of the saintess, but he was not the biggest war criminal on the mainland. He was beheaded by Bai Qi and sent to the underworld, where he was reincarnated as an animal.
Bai Qi found the national treasure 【Brilliant Thunderstone】 and journeyed day and night to transport it to Yumen Pass.
Ho Qubing received supplies and designated a battle plan.
The cultivators used this thing as a core, drawing out the gemstone's energy to temporarily boost the lightning formation's strength before launching this unexpected air raid!
This knife went straight into the heart.
The Lord looked down at the table, things were grim.
Jerusalem is beyond saving. But this match isn't over yet.
I never thought I would have to resort to such drastic measures in my own life.
The Lord's gaze fell upon Leviathan, the behemoth of a super weapon, its halo glowing.
The halo is shattered, beyond repair.
Jerusalem will also soon fall into the hands of the enemy.
Then why not go all the way, smash the Halo's remains into Jerusalem and detonate them!
This way, you would lose two absolute mainstays, a real blow.
But all the armies of Jerusalem's enemies shall be destroyed!
"Colossian angels, take flight!"
The Battle of Jerusalem is entering its fifth day.
According to the Gregorian calendar, it is Friday.
The newly appearing Colossian angel takes to the skies, beginning to shatter the points of support for the halo.
Guide it to fall into Jerusalem.
> For every enemy killed, 800 of your own men are lost.
But there was no other way.
Yumen Pass.
"General Meng Tian, you were right. The enemy army has taken to the air and begun to sever the halo! Tonight, the halo will fall upon Jerusalem!"
Meng Tian heard the report and took a deep breath.
As expected.
Before the commanders of the Shan Hai Division finalized their battle plan, they conducted a sand table rehearsal.
This time, Huo Qubing and Meng Tian acted as the holy country's army, while Mulan and Zhang Yun acted as the Shanhai Division to execute an airdrop plan.
The airborne operation went very smoothly and almost captured Jerusalem.
At the last moment, Meng Tian and Huo Qubing both let the angels cut their halos. The halos fell to the ground, burying all living beings in Jerusalem.
Achieved a miraculous comeback.
After the sandbox drill, the generals began devising countermeasures to this tactic.
"Has the Sunstone of Jixia Academy been delivered to the core" Meng Tian asked.
"Reporting to the General, it's delivered! Sanxiao is utilizing the power of the sun to evaporate the Buzhou Sea, extracting its water essence to recharge the Nine Curves Yellow River Pagoda!"
After Lu Cheng's death, Meng Tian and Huo Qubing knew their time was short. The two generals prepared to use everything at their disposal to bring down the Leviathan.
Yao Ji's slumber and the temporary disintegration of Kunlun do not mean the fairy boat is completely dead.
In the design, the Immortal Vessel should incorporate Kunlun as the power source, lunar surface material for the hull, and the Three Immortals as weaponry.
Unison is absolutely the most powerful and mobile ship girl currently under Riku's command.
It's a pity that Lu Cheng died, so the immortal boat couldn't be built.
But the overall picture just isn't coming together
The design of the fairy boat's weapons is exquisite.
Shipborne Spirit/Fairy Sea, located in the middle of the fairy boat, is used to store water spirits/fairy energy.
The battleship's rear, "Sān Xiān Dǎo" (Three Immortals Island), serves as the weapon platform. This beautifully constructed island lies on Ling Hai (Spirit Sea). It is surrounded by water and normally serves as a place for cultivators to practice. During wartime, the Three Immortals can extract water spirits from it to charge the central pagoda of Sān Xiān Dǎo.
The highlight is undoubtedly the Sanshen Tower, located in the center of Sanshen Island. It stands 3,200 meters high and is also known as the Nine-Bend Yellow River Cannon.
Three-part Immortal Martial Arts.
Pure silver crafting!
Magical powers can be amplified several times over.
The engine is not yet built, and the immortal vessel has not been created, but "she" exists!
Lu Cheng's masterpiece before his death.
Even without the engines, Meng Tian and Huo Qubing still commanded, activating all six Mirage Ships to hoist the Immortal Weapon onto Yumen Pass.
We need to figure out a way to get this thing started.
The Three Immortals exist, but there is no Spirit Sea serving as an ammunition depot!
Finally, Lu Da shi's brilliant idea came to him.
Lu Cheng once brought back valuable sun magnetic crystals, one for the Kunlun Mirror and one for the Ji Xia Academy.
Now this kid is gone, and the world is at war. Might as well use it.
The Three Immortal Tower is erected atop Yumeng Pass, harnessing the power of solar magnetic crystals to evaporate the chaotic waters of the Nether Ocean below. This extracted primordial water energy then fuels the Three Immortal Tower!
"Three fairies, thank you for your help."
“General Meng, the water spirit is chaotic and雜亂, its precision and power are likely to be affected.” Yunxiao said worriedly.
She's absolutely right.
The Linghai used as ammunition depot for the celestial vessels must certainly be top-notch spiritual water. During wartime, utilizing the power of crushed sun crystals to evaporate the uncharted seas and absorb these waterspirit.
There is certainly enough quantity, but the quality falls far short.
After this battle, the cultivation of the three sisters would be greatly damaged, not to mention that their power would probably fall short of expectations.
And, what material is the Immortal Boat made of, and what level is it
...can it bear the weight of the Three Immortals Tower
What level is Yumen Pass.
After it's lit, there will be nothing left!
“Don’t go for a direct hit.” Meng Tian looked at the sand table. “Liu Er will use the main cannon as a guide, attacking the connection of the halo. The enemy wants to make the halo fall into Jerusalem and destroy us together. We strike first, shatter the halo, and let the fragments rain down on the harbor of Colossae!”
Two birds with one stone!
The three sisters looked at each other in surprise.
A brilliant battle plan!
Landed in Jerusalem, anticipating enemy movements, before the enemy could prepare for a last stand.
Preemptively shatter the aura, causing the superweapon to explode while it is still above Colossus!
A disciple of the Jiejiao sect, wielding a sword, died alongside the formidable Dead Spirit King. Only the Saint Master remains.
The generals of the Three Lines Mountain and Sea Army fought bravely and finally decided to sacrifice two national treasure-level gems, enabling them to end the war.
The Solar Magnetic Crystal, designed by the Three Immortals Tower Array designer and escorted by the honorary vice-president of Jixia Academy.
Lao Zhao is elderly now, with white hair on his temples.
After Sun Nü's death at Yangu Pass, both her body and spirit had reached their limits.
After attending the funeral together, Lu Cheng comforted his grandfather, telling him to grieve with composure and that he would take care of him like his own grandfather. But now, Lu Cheng has fallen in battle within a dream, at the city of Luoyang.
Lao Zhao was almost completely despairing.
Since the war began, almost an entire generation has been killed!
But at this last moment, he came to his senses.
He who had been lying in bed for years, got out of bed himself and put on the latest clothes.
After finishing his wash and eating breakfast, he set out with the magnetite for Yumenguan.
Nobody else could stand up to him.
"This is a gemstone that Lu Cheng sent to our academy. This cannon, I also participated in its design. It used my life-force magic research. The old man just shouted 'in formation' and it worked."
Sāi Xiāo, upon hearing this, seemed to understand something and nodded silently.
The old man smiled gratefully, then looked towards the distance.
In the night sky.
The colossal Leviathan loomed, stretching for thousands of miles across the sky. Above it, the massive Jerusalem module had been ignited.
There are tens of thousands of mountain and sea soldiers fighting bravely there.
A circle of radiant Holy Nation super-weapons encircled Leviathan, their glow particularly bright against the night sky.
Lao Zhao's eyes were moist.
She was so gifted, yet she died under the weight of this war machine.
At that time, she was helping Lu Cheng sort out the craftsman cards.
A strike of radiance hit the Yanmen Pass, the artisan's district.
Not even a soul was left.
Every time he thought about it, with a deep breath as his last, Lao Zhao used all his strength to roar out.
"Charge! Open fire!"
"Principal Zhao!"
"Principal Zhao!"
"Grandpa!"
Amidst the cacophony.
The Three Immortals shielded their five senses and cast aside all distractions.
Flitting into the tower formation.
Then, from all directions, cultivators from various factions like the Suwen, Canghai, Wuzhuang, and Hehuan arrived one by one at their designated positions.
The Sansheng Pagoda lights up gradually from the bottom layer.
One layer. Two layers three layers
Tonight, the brilliance of Yumeng will surely illuminate the path ahead.
(The End)n be completed in an instant, bypassing all traps and pitfalls.""Oh This summoning method isn't bad. Let's launch the attack tomorrow morning!"Lu Cheng is studying the material of the Terracotta Army...
