Protect Our Clan Leader

As the Slaughter Saint Bow cursed and swore, some soldiers from the vanguard camp had already managed to break through the blockade and soared up the ten-plus-zhang high city wall.

A Spirit Instrument Level scimitar swept across, and the city defense soldiers immediately fell in droves.

In terms of combat power, there was a world of difference between the defense forces composed of militia and patrol camp soldiers and the elites of the Demonic Falcon Battalion. While they could rely on city defense weapons to resist from afar, their disadvantage became glaringly obvious in close combat.

Under the blades of the Demonic Falcon Battalion, the city defenders were as vulnerable as chaff, the scene almost an overwhelming slaughter.

Besides the vanguard and main forces, the truly strongest aspect of the Demonic Falcon Battalion lies in its five cavalry and archery camps.

The soldiers in these camps are divine archers, equally skilled with both left and right bows.

As the vanguard mounted the city wall, they too rode spirit beast warhorses, dispersing to the wings. As the bowstrings vibrated, arrows flew towards the city wall like lightning.

Any head of the city defenders that dared peek out would be instantly shot and killed.

In just a few dozen breaths, the defenders suffered heavy casualties under the Demonic Falcon Battalion's relentless assault.

During this, Wang Anye roamed constantly on the city wall, his Spiritual Treasure Longsword Sword Chime emitting a metallic ring; his sword moved like a dragon, slaying Demonic Falcon warriors wherever it passed.

Nevertheless, a large number of Demonic Falcon warriors continuously charged up the wall, the enemy not decreasing in number but rather increasing as they fought.

His expression gradually grew grave.

Unexpectedly, this Demonic Falcon Battalion was so fierce, truly worthy of being the elite of the Demonic Dynasty.

If he were to encounter this battalion alone and was carelessly held by any experts among them, there really might be the possibility of being captured or killed; avoiding battle was the only strategy.

Fortunately, Wang Anye, after all, was not really a wandering noble son. Seeing the time was ripe, he immediately released a massive firework.

With a resounding "bang,"

the firework exploded brightly in the high sky over ten li away, visible clearly within a radius of dozens of li.

In an instant,

in all directions in the distance, troops clad in armor suddenly appeared.

These soldiers, mounted on warhorses, wore dark armor glinting coldly in the sunlight, carrying an aura of stern cold and murderous intent.

They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere; places that previously seemed empty were now filled with troops, quickly forming into a vast, dense black mass, encircling the Demonic Falcon Battalion besieging Jinyang City from afar.

Evidently, these troops had long been ambushed nearby, using some method to deceive all the Demonic Falcon Battalion's senses and sights, waiting for this moment!

These people were naturally the long-awaited [Changning Wang Clan's Civilian Corps]!

Although the Wang's Civilian Corps was established just over forty years ago and was quite young among battalions, its entrance bar was extremely high, and a massive amount of resources were poured into it lavishly, resulting in even the worst qualified soldiers achieving Class C Little Sky Pride level.

Talents of this caliber would definitely be elite disciples or even core disciples in the Purple Abode Academic Palace.

Yet today, they were but mere soldiers in the battalion.

With such outstanding innate quality, combined with rigorous training and resource subsidies, most have now reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, while those in the later stages are also not uncommon.

In contrast, the Demonic Falcon Battalion, though comprised of Spirit Platform Realm soldiers, had only a small percentage reaching the Mid-Late Stage of the Spirit Platform Realm.

The two sides already had a large disparity in cultivation level strength.

Not to mention the difference in bloodline.

The Little Sky Prides had awakened the second layer of their bloodline in the Spirit Platform Realm, unlike the ordinary Spirit Platform Realm who had awakened just one layer. An additional bloodline layer meant enhanced combat power.

Therefore, any soldier in the [Changning Wang Clan's Civilian Corps] surpassed the Demonic Falcon Battalion warriors in individual combat strength by a significant margin.

"Charge!"

With the command given.

Soldiers of the [Changning Wang Clan's Civilian Corps] immediately spurred their horses forward, attacking in an orderly fashion from all sides under the guidance of various commanders.

Encircling the Demonic Falcon Battalion between them and Jinyang Guard.

This is bad! It's a trap!

Chao Yingrui, leader of the Demonic Falcon Battalion, felt a jolt in his heart, his face changed drastically: "Where did this army come from? Impossible! Besides the [Red Fire Heavy Rider], no other elites exist in the entire Liang Country."

Of course, this was not the Red Fire Heavy Rider, as their stature and demeanor were entirely different.

This mysterious battalion's armor was all dark black, and the warhorses they rode were of noble Dragon Scale War Horse lineage, comparable in level and comprehensive combat strength to the Demonic Falcon Battalion.

However, among all the uniformly black warhorses, there were actually hundreds of rare Jade Horned Pegasuses.

The Jade Horned Pegasuses are extremely fast, capable of walking on air as if on solid ground, making them ideal for either pursuits or escape, a luxury among riding spirit beasts.

Chao Yingrui's mouth twitched, his heart filled with absurdity.

This mysterious battalion was extravagantly lavish! Hundreds of Jade Horned Pegasuses, if they were so rich and flaunting, why not equip the whole unit with Jade Horned Pegasuses?

Chao Yingrui actually didn't know that, according to Wang Shouzhe's original plan, Jade Horned Pegasuses were to be the standard for the Wang's Civilian Corps members in the future.

However, due to the difficulty in breeding and cultivating Jade Horned Pegasuses, even after over a hundred years of effort by the Wang clan, the current numbers were still quite limited, unable to satisfy the needs of the Civilian Corps for the time being.
