Chapter 856: A Triumphant First Battle

At the same time, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sect, the newly appointed Sect Leader of Hell’s Gate, Meng Yinwan, the Alliance Hierarch of the Prisoners’ Descendants Alliance, and Lin Feng, all received the Huang Quan order.

The Martial Artist Forum also featured a post issued by Huang Quan.

The content was the same: "Within half a month, clean up the enemies on each island. Gather troops at Xiaoyao Island. Any faction or individual who dares to slack off and do nothing, I, Huang Quan, will annihilate their entire clan!"

After receiving this message!

Aside from the martial artists of Global Nations Allied Forces, other forces didn’t take it seriously at all!

Thus!

Within three days, the Blood Cloth Guards appeared like phantoms on various islands such as Xiaoyao Island, Phoenix Island, Forest Island, and Endless Island. After slaughtering over a thousand people from various forces, all factions were shocked.

Gosh!

Huang Quan is serious!

Suddenly, all factions were suddenly filled with energy and zealously hunted down and pursued enemies.

And on this day!

The civil martial artists led by the Fourth Prince split into four groups, heading towards the southeastern, southwestern, central, and northern ports of King Island.

The Fourth Prince, Lin Mu, personally led the southern route army, preparing to annihilate the enemy forces at the southern port!

"Fourth Prince, according to the scouts’ reports, the enemy forces at the southern port have occupied ’Moon City’ and have built a circle of walls around it," said the intelligence officer.

Lin Mu was taken aback: "Walls? The enemy is an invader; why build walls? Do they intend to hold fast, or do they think mere walls can resist the army of our Eternal Kingdom?"

The intelligence officer was puzzled: "I also can’t understand the enemy’s intentions. How about we establish camp and assess the enemy’s real strength before advancing?"

Lin Mu thought for a moment, shook his head: "No, now is the time when our army is in high spirits, and coupled with the fact that the enemy wouldn’t expect us to launch an attack just after arriving, this is the time to strike swiftly and decisively to defeat them."

"Makes sense!" The intelligence officer nodded.

Indeed it made sense; it wasn’t that Lin Mu was impatient but rather that the civil martial artists had been enduring for so long, their desire to kill enemies was nearly driving them crazy.

By launching an attack now, the civil martial artists could unleash strength far beyond their peak.

Additionally, logically speaking, facing enemies of unknown numbers, unknown strength, who have even built walls, long-marching civil martial artists indeed ought to set camp and proceed steadily.

If they launch an attack as soon as they arrive at the battlefield, it could indeed catch the enemy off guard.

However!

Lin Mu didn’t know!

The highest commander currently defending Moon City was Qin Qing!

"Full-speed march, follow me to kill!"

Lin Mu drew his long sword and shouted, taking the lead in the charge.

The 430,000-strong army behind him immediately followed energetically, with the leader at the forefront serving to boost morale, especially since the leader was a prince.

This caused the morale of the 430,000-strong army to soar even higher!

"Young madam, they’re coming!"

On the ten-meter-high wall, Chloe said.

"Mm!"

Qin Qing nodded, looking at the vast number of enemies charging in the distance with absolute calmness, saying:

"Let everyone get ready, wait for my order!"

Chloe immediately notified the signalman to quickly convey Qin Qing’s orders.

Qin Qing looked at the charging enemies, silently calculating the distance in her heart.

When the enemy army led by Lin Mu reached a distance of 300 meters from the wall.

Qin Qing shouted: "Attack!"

Suddenly!

On the narrow wall, a row of people with Gatlings emerged. Before the Gatlings fired, the guns inside the city had already opened fire.

Boom boom boom!

The intense cannon fire, accompanied by countless shells, fell into the enemy ranks, instantly creating a scene of carnage, with limbs flying everywhere.

At this moment, the Gatling unleashed the roar of the god of fire.

Instantly, the vanguard of Lin Mu’s army was covered by a steel torrent.

Facing such dense firepower coverage, the War God’s sense of danger became useless. Bullets and shells were everywhere; there was no way to hide.

"Damn, these invaders are despicable, using firearms while we’re all martial artists."

"Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, where are you?"

"The Fourth Prince was blasted onto a tree."

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The 430,000 strong enemy army was bombarded into chaos, and their previously high spirits were obliterated.

At this point, they only exhibited the traits of civil martial artists... disorganized and unrecorded.

Each scattered and fled, ignoring each other.

"Commence the second round of attack!"

The cannonade stopped, the Gatling ammo was spent, and Qin Qing smiled.

"Understood!" Chloe took out her phone and sent a mass text message!

Suddenly, the civil martial artists who were scattering to flee discovered a pit suddenly appeared in front of them, or a wall suddenly rose, or countless spikes emerged from the ground, or hands suddenly extended from underground to drag people passing by into the earth.

The people from Sword Cottage made their move!

Originally, Ye Xiu’s order to Mo Luo was to provide Sword Cottage with Earth, Water, and Fire System Totems. Qin Qing secretly texted Mo Luo to only give them Earth System Totems.

So now, aside from the hundreds who received totems from Ye Xiu himself, some of whom were non-Earth system totems,

All other totems were Earth System Totems!

Now they’ve all turned into groundhogs, hiding underground to ambush the fleeing enemy.

No matter how high your cultivation is, if I drag you fifty meters underground, can you dig yourself out?

Qin Qing’s tactics were simple and crude!

Use shells and bullets to annihilate the War God below the Fourth Realm among the enemy ranks;

When the enemy collapses and retreats, let Sword Cottage’s groundhogs ’bury’ the enemy alive;

And the third step!

"Haha, this is exhilarating, kill!"

"Indeed, our Sword Cottage’s Sword Master is not only young and beautiful, with high cultivation and strong power, but also possesses the talent for commanding troops."

"What a relief, what a relief, after being oppressed for thousands of years by being imprisoned in Eternal Islands by the Temple, Sword Cottage finally regained the dignity lost over those thousands of years under the wise leadership of the Sword Master."

"This is exhilarating, too exhilarating, hahahaha!"

The Sword Cottage F4 went wild, their eyes red from killing, their hearts satisfied beyond measure.

The four Seventh Realm peak masters were leaping around, relentlessly slicing through the retreating enemy.

The enemy having no Eighth Realm meant there were no opponents for them.

"After this battle, the southern enemy forces will at least be shivering for days," Chloe said with a smile.

"Ye Xiu is bound to lose!"

Qin Qing bragged smugly:

"Heh, betting with me, doesn’t he know this lady is the god of gambling?"

Look who is capable; if it weren’t for you acting under the young master’s name, would the Ministry of Military Affairs of Black Water Nation have sent you so many cannons and Gatlings?

In fact, since Ye Xiu was ’arrested’ and taken away from Tiger City to the Nameless Island, Qin Qing had been preparing for this battle.

She just didn’t tell Ye Xiu!

...

"Guns? Walls?"

When Ye Xiu received the call from Ghost Shadow, he was stunned; no wonder Qin Qing was so confident and even proposed a bet, she had been prepared all along.

The longest path I’ve ever walked in my life is Qin Qing’s trap.

Asked: "Are the wars at the four ports all like Moon City?"

Ghost Shadow: "Not exactly, Moon City has Sword Cottage, the other three ports don’t, but the other three ports also occupied the city mansions and constructed walls, planting dense timed explosives ten miles outside the city. When the enemy attacked, the timed explosives were detonated; it seems that the forces at the other three ports suffered even worse than those at Moon City."

After listening, Ye Xiu furrowed his brow. Qin Qing doing this might force the King of Eternal Kingdom to deploy elite martial artists from King Island ahead of time, like a large number of Fourth Realm and above War Gods.

Then Qin Qing’s firearms would be useless!
