Rumble!

It was impossible to describe the sound created by the collision of the two elite armies. The entire world trembled, and even the heavy walls of the steel fortress quaked.

The Youzhou cavalry was charging at full speed, heedless and fearless. On the other side, the forty thousand Tang soldiers had all raised their swords into the air.

The Tang soldiers apparently had no intention of defending against the terrifying charge, but to return offensive with offense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening collisions rang out. One of the Tang heavy infantry was struck by the hoof of a horse, the enormous force instantly crushing his armor. Blood gushed out as the man flew more than one hundred feet before crashing into even more Tang infantry.

The inherent power of a cavalry charge further boosted by war halos and the strength of the Underworld Cavalry had created an overwhelming power that not even these heavy infantry could withstand.

Before that heavy infantryman had even hit the ground, his Stellar Energy had been shattered, his bones pulverized, his organs pulped!

The same happened for thousands of other soldiers. The power of the Underworld Cavalry was truly stunning.

But at the same time, the forty thousand Tang heavy infantry exhibited their own prodigious strength!

The charge of the Underworld Cavalry truly was formidable, but this did not mean that they could go without paying a price.

Bang!

At the moment of collision, a burly heavy infantryman exhibited absurd agility to dodge a fatal strike. At the same time, he cut down with his raised sword, a clean and powerful stroke that instantly killed the Underworld Cavalry rider and the armored horse under him!

One strong man could defeat ten skilled fighters!

At a certain level of strength, one no longer needed to rely on too many techniques!

Rumble!

Breeee!

Though the Underworld Cavalry rider and his horse had both been cleaved apart, their inertia carried them forward another one hundred feet before they exploded in a gory cloud of blood.

One rider, two riders, three riders...

In terms of training soldiers, how could Wang Chong be lacking compared to Youzhou and An Lushan?

In a few short moments, thousands of Underworld Cavalry were cleaved in half by the Tang heavy infantry, killed on the spot!

This charge had been far more gruesome than anyone could have imagined. Both Wang Chong’s heavy infantry and Youzhou’s Underworld Cavalry paid an enormous price.

But for these elite soldiers, this was a meager price, because the battle continued!

This time, however, it was not a contest between individuals. It was a clash of battle formations.

Roooar!

Above the Underworld Cavalry, the vision of the underworld appeared once more, larger and clearer, the wailing of tens of thousands of ghosts even more distinct. Anyone who heard these wails would see mountains of corpses and seas of blood appear before them, a somber air buffeting their faces. It was as if the countless skeletons in the underworld had come to life and were crawling out of the ground.

Empowered by the Underworld Formation, the tens of thousands of Underworld Cavalry divided into teams of five hundred, which were like the teeth of a saw that callously annihilated their foes.

With the Underworld Formation, the Youzhou army became like a mountain of blades, a reaper of life, a herald of death.

This was the Underworld Cavalry’s first time on the world stage, but their frightening strength could leave any faction stunned and frightened.

On the other side, the forty thousand heavy infantry also soared in strength.

Rumble!

Above the infantry, the bloody mist mixed with black flames, and in the center of the flames and mist was a giant, black-red millstone. This millstone had a diameter of several thousand feet and ceaselessly turned as if it wanted to crush all things.

Behind this giant millstone was a massive, arched gate. Ancient and unrecognizable black-red characters had been carved all over the two sides of the gate, and the howls of demons and ghosts came from within.

The gate of hell!

This was the final stop for all living beings.

The hellish millstone that had appeared above the forty thousand Tang soldiers was brimming with the stench of death, even worse than the vision of the underworld in some aspects.

One was the underworld!

The other was a millstone of hell!

Their similarity was that they were both worlds of death. Where they differed was that one emphasized oblivion while the other emphasized slaughter.

Rumble!

“Kiiill!”

With a resounding war cry, the tens of thousands of Underworld Cavalry cut into the Tang force like the teeth of a saw. At the same time, the Hell Wheel Formation began to exhibit its full power, crushing, grinding, and turning against the Underworld Cavalry...

The sounds of fighting drowned out all other sound. The thick mantle of snow on the ground was drenched in blood and was sent rocketing several dozen feet into the air by the energy of the battle, where it turned into a bloody mist that descended over the battlefield.

As the bloody mist grew thicker, it began to hinder the view of the battle.

Whoosh!

A cold wind blew over the battlefield, which had become strangely quiet. Everyone was focused on these two clashing armies.

Energy roiled and bloody mist churned. At this time, no other soldier could approach the two battling armies.

Everyone solemnly awaited the result of this battle.

Bang!

Just when the unease had reached its greatest, a miserable howl broke through the clouds. Suddenly, a giant white skeleton seething with black energy stood out of the bloody mist, and white bones oozing with baneful energy shot toward the other side.

In the rear, the Youzhou soldiers exploded with cheers.

The white bones of the underworld!

This would only manifest when the Underworld Formation had reached maximum power. When this giant white skeleton appeared, the Youzhou cavalry would grow much stronger and become essentially unstoppable.

Bang!

As expected, the giant skeleton raised its hands and thrust them into the hellish millstone.

A moment later, the sound of the turning millstone disappeared, and one could see through the bloody mist that the millstone had stopped.

“We won! Hahaha!”

“Kill them all!”

“The underworld’s victory is inevitable! Master is invincible!”

“Break the steel fortress! Annihilate the Great Tang!”

As the Youzhou soldiers crazily shouted, the alliance soldiers also began to yell.

This Tang army possessed astonishing power, killing so many of the alliance army in such little time. But no matter how powerful it was, wasn’t that powerful millstone formation still broken by the Underworld Cavalry?

Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen faintly smiled, their bodies relaxing.

“They won!” Cui Qianyou suddenly said.

“They won!” Tian Qianzhen repeated.

The battle just now had been too gruesome, the energy released by the confrontation of the two formations too shocking. Not even they had known who would come out the victor, but in the end, it seemed that the Youzhou side had been just a little better.

The white skeleton suppressing the hell millstone was a sign of how this clash would go. There was no question that Youzhou had won.

“All soldiers, prepare for a general offensive!” Cui Qianyou coldly ordered, a callous light in his eyes.

The fate of those forty thousand soldiers was sealed. Their formation had been broken, so it would only be a few moments until they broke. What he needed to do now was to marshal the alliance army for an assault on the walls.

“Get in touch with the other countries. Mobilize the assault forces...”

Cui Qianyou waved a hand, calling over a messenger to get in touch with the other Great Generals.

As the head of the alliance, Youzhou needed to send out its soldiers first. But this also meant that the Great Generals and elite soldiers of the other countries had yet to mobilize.

But at this moment, an unexpected development occurred on the front line.

Awooooo!

In the seething mist of blood in front of the steel fortress, the giant white skeleton manifested by the Underworld Formation suddenly trembled and let out a miserable howl of pain. Its two white claws had been thrust into the hell millstone, but at this moment, there was a sharp crack as a monstrous force snapped them off.

With a great rumbling, the millstone began to turn once more, pulverizing the white skeleton into pieces.

Without the hindrance of the white skeleton, the giant millstone slammed into the Underworld Cavalry like a giant beast.
