Chapter 318: Furious Shield Strikes
🕑 Added 2024-09-22 03:37:32 +0000 UTC"Wait until your clansmen can defeat my Imperial Army and Beast Army before challenging me. Do you really think you're qualified to make me take action personally?" Lin Qian mocked, as if he'd just heard the most ridiculous joke.
"You—!" Bai Ximing began to retort, but he was abruptly cut off by the sudden changes on the ground.
The once empty expanse around City Two was suddenly filled with a pack of giant wolves, all clad in armor. The silver moon fur on their foreheads shimmered, and as their armor radiated soul power, Bai Ximing and Wu Zhanshuang immediately realized what they were looking at—these wolves were equipped with soul artifacts!
Not just the two of them, but all the Xun Yin and Wu Xing clan members were left dumbfounded, staring at the armored Silvermoon Wolves below.
Soul beasts equipped with soul artifacts?
As they struggled to process this revelation, the Silvermoon Wolves surged forward, howling as they charged into the ranks of the Greenwind and Swift Wolves.
In mere moments, the battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere, staining the plains red.
Yuan Xiang didn't need to look twice. The two wolf packs, driven purely by beastly instincts, were no match for Lin Qian's Silvermoon Wolves, which were clearly trained war beasts. It was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.
"Soul beasts won't stand a chance," Wu Zhanshuang said darkly, observing the battle below. His expression was grim as he shook his head and turned to Bai Ximing.
Bai Ximing's face was equally sour as he took a deep breath and said, "We can't stay on the defensive anymore. It's time to strike back!"
"Charge! Tear apart the one who insulted the dignity of our clans!" Wu Zhanshuang roared, rallying the warriors behind him.
"Kill!" Energized by their leaders' rallying cries, the vast numbers of Xun Yin and Wu Xing clan members drew their soul weapons and surged toward City Two.
As Yuan Xiang watched the Xun Yin and Wu Xing armies charge forward, his gaze naturally shifted to Lin Qian. He was eager to see how Lin Qian planned to win this battle.
The combined enemy forces totaled sixty million, while Lin Qian had only twelve million soldiers. Yuan Xiang was curious to find out where Lin Qian's confidence came from.
Before the battle, Yuan Xiang had asked Lin Qian how he intended to win, and Lin Qian had replied with a simple answer:
"By crushing them in every aspect. Victory will naturally follow."
Now, as Yuan Xiang recalled those bold words, he eagerly awaited how Lin Qian would fulfill them.
"Imperial Crusade!" Lin Qian's bright yellow imperial soul power flared to life, his imperial robe igniting with intense energy. Behind the Nine-Dragon Throne, the shadows of nine dragons appeared.
In an instant, bright yellow light spread outwards, enveloping the entire Imperial Army.
Under the effects of "Imperial Crusade" and the "Huaxia Realm Array," the power of all Imperial soldiers surged dramatically.
The strength of every soldier was visibly enhanced, causing Yuan Xiang's eyes to gleam with admiration.
He noticed how the shared Huaxia soul power among the soldiers created a seamless, unified force. No matter how loud and aggressive the enemy's battle cries became, they couldn't shake the Huaxia Imperial Army's resolve.
"Pang Shield, protect Light Feather and Strong Feather!" Lin Qian commanded with a sweeping gesture.
Yuan Xiang watched as the burly, heavily armored soldiers—wielding massive shields—quickly retreated to form a defensive line in front of Light Feather and Strong Feather.
"Stalwart as a Rock!" The Pang Shield soldiers raised their enormous shields, forming a shield wall. As their shields glowed with Huaxia soul power, a shield-patterned barrier materialized.
At the moment the barrier took shape, Light Feather and Strong Feather leaped onto the Pang Shield soldiers' shoulders, remaining within the protective boundary.
Light Feather stood with one foot atop the Pang Shield's shield, the other on the soldier's left shoulder, firing arrows rapidly.
Although their Rapid Fire skill was still on cooldown, their shooting speed remained formidable.
Meanwhile, Strong Feather slammed their giant bows against the Pang Shields' shields, aiming carefully before unleashing arrows with immense penetrating power that pierced through the clouds.
Each arrow from Strong Feather could easily tear through several avian soul beasts in a single shot.
What had been a daunting soul beast army moments ago was now completely restrained by Lin Qian's forces.
On the ground, the Silvermoon Wolves were wreaking havoc. These fully armored war wolves were like gods of war among their kind, while the mindless soul beasts stood no chance against them.
In the air, the soul beasts became nothing more than moving targets for Light Feather and Strong Feather.
Yuan Xiang even noticed that the Pang Shield barrier, which was designed to protect the relatively vulnerable Light Feather and Strong Feather, not only allowed arrows to pass through unhindered but also amplified their power!
The barrier shielded the archers while the giant shields protected the Pang Shield soldiers, and the arrows that passed through the barrier grew stronger.
Their soul power attributes were perfectly aligned, working in flawless harmony.
"A perfect combination!" Yuan Xiang exclaimed in amazement.
Seeing Yuan Xiang's astonished expression, Lin Qian couldn't help but smile with pride.
Pang Shield's "Stalwart as a Rock" could block enemy attacks, reducing the impact by half. Meanwhile, any attack launched from within the barrier became thirty percent stronger!
Of course, this skill effect was the result of advanced technological research reaching its peak.
Lin Qian's Huaxia Empire followed a path of full technological development, and naturally, his soldiers' skills were at the highest level.
The combination of Pang Shield, Light Feather, and Strong Feather—three mid-level evolved soldier types—was one of the most formidable setups during the mid-game era of Lin Qian's previous life.
In fact, this combo had been so overpowered that the game developers had nerfed it specifically.
What Lin Qian was using now was the weakened version of that combo.
But even in its nerfed state, it was still more than enough.
As Lin Qian watched Wu Zhanshuang, who had devoured the Qing Shi Clan's body and was now charging recklessly towards City Two, he smirked in disdain. "If you want to go head-to-head, bring it on!"
With that, Lin Qian turned his gaze to the tall, heavily armored soldiers, each bearing a massive shield strapped to their right arm.
These shields were entirely different from those of the Pang Shield soldiers. While the Pang Shields' design conveyed safety and security, the shields of these towering warriors exuded menace and savagery.
"Furious Shield, charge!"
