Chapter 840: The Shrinking Shield

One hour, two hours, three hours…

The Great Flame Empire’s Military, already aware of the characteristics of the Elite Race, continued to allow the shield formed by hundreds of billions of elite fighters to shrink continuously.

Both sides fell back into a stalemate.

However, both sides were also playing a role.

The vanguard of the allied forces constantly launched assaults, wanting to hide the terrifying nature of the massive shield from the Great Flame Empire’s military.

Meanwhile, the Great Flame Empire’s military acted oblivious, consistently meeting the attacks with their defenses.

As the vanguard pressed their assault, the eastern human army repelled wave after wave of attacks.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half days passed.

The vanguard army of billions had lost over a trillion fighters.

On the other hand, the Great Flame Empire remained completely unscathed.

The eastern human army successfully blocked the relentless onslaught of the vanguard.

Finally, after receiving orders from the command center, the commanders of the vanguard began issuing retreat orders.

The massive shield opened up large gaps, one after another, following the command from higher up.

Nearly a hundred billion vanguard soldiers began to methodically pass through the gaps, leaving the shield to regroup with the allied forces.

The Great Flame Empire and the eastern human army did not pursue, allowing them to withdraw.

The various tribes of the Great Flame Empire were confused about their intentions, but the eastern human army understood that the ultimate battle to decide victory was about to arrive.

It took a full five or six hours for the vanguard to successfully withdraw.

The shield formed by the hundreds of billions of elite fighters began to heal the large gaps that had opened.

Then, it continued to shrink.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…

As time passed, the radius of the shield was steadily decreasing from the edge of the eastern human army.

Ten million kilometers, nine million kilometers, eight million kilometers…

When the radius of the shield reached only three million kilometers, the four corps commanders each issued orders to prepare for an attack.

However, they only issued preparation orders for the attack.

Although they were now within the striking distance of the eastern human army, it was merely the edge of their attacking range.

Two million kilometers, one million kilometers!

As the Great Flame Empire’s army drew ever closer to the outer perimeter of the shield, the elite fighters of the allied forces were filled with excitement.

On the side of the Great Flame Empire’s army, the four corps commanders issued the order to begin taking the extraordinary pills.

The two hundred million eastern human army brought out the extraordinary pills they had refined earlier and began to consume them.

Some of these pills could greatly enhance attacking power, while others could replenish immortal power continuously.

In just a brief moment, the overall strength of the eastern human army received a tremendous boost.

One hundred thousand kilometers, ninety thousand kilometers, eighty thousand kilometers…

When the massive shield shrank to only twenty thousand kilometers, the soldiers of the allied forces received their commander’s order and prepared to launch an attack.

Suddenly, the four corps commanders of the eastern human army issued an attack command.

“Ice Spike Attack, one hundred percent power, longest range!”

The four corps commanders’ eyes shone brightly.

At that moment, the leaders of the various tribes finally witnessed just how formidable the eastern human army truly was.

The two hundred million eastern human army launched an attack on the shield.

Countless ice spikes whistled outward in all directions.

On the shield’s perimeter, the commanders of the various tribes were dumbfounded.

They had always believed that the eastern human army’s long-range attacking range should be around ten thousand kilometers.

But here they were attacking at twenty thousand kilometers.

Furthermore, the power of the laws attack was no longer fire laws like fire sea and fire dragon but had transformed into ice laws power.

What was even more terrifying was that the attacking power had increased to an incomprehensible level.

Compared to when they attacked the strong army, it had surged tenfold.

How could someone at only level one hundred sixty or seventy possess such immense attacking power?

The commanders of the various tribes, using their perception ability, realized that this attacking power was extremely close to that of a level two hundred strong fighter.

Even with the extraordinary immortal materials, it shouldn’t theoretically have increased to this extent.

Let alone, it was two hundred million soldiers enhancing simultaneously.

Vaguely, the commanders of the various tribes all felt a sense of impending doom.

The facts began to prove their suspicions and premonitions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!…

Countless ice spikes shot out, continuously crashing into the shield.

In terms of power, ice laws power could not match the strength of fire laws; compared to it, it fell short by at least a little.

But the penetrating power of ice laws was not something that fire laws could compare to.

As the eastern human army finally unleashed their full power, using various pills to increase the power of their laws attacks by five or six times, the ice spikes effortlessly pierced through the shield, creating holes.

The shield formed by hundreds of billions of elite fighters had the greatest characteristic of merging into one entity; as the coverage area shrank, the defense strength became increasingly terrifying.

Yet, their defense strength remained individual defense strength.

If the attacking power is strong enough, penetrating through is not a problem.

However, once penetrated, it can quickly be patched up by the nearby Elite Race.

Additionally, they can attack from the outside without being affected by the shield.

One could say that if the Elite Race were to be matched with a powerful army, they would undoubtedly be a nightmare for countless tribes.

The only downside is that to restrain the strong, they would also need strong fighters on the outside to intercept.

The Elite Race gradually became one of the large races in the super star cluster because of this ability.

But this time, there was no doubt they faced the most challenging enemy in history.

The eastern human army could penetrate the shield directly with their own strength, without needing to deploy strong fighters.

What was even more important was that the eastern human army’s long-range attack distance was further than that of strong fighters.

Even if the strong of the allied forces intended to intercept, they were too far away to reach.

“Attack! Launch an internal attack!”

The commanders of the various tribes saw the speed at which the eastern human army penetrated the shield, which was so fast that the Elite Race could not repair or patch it in time, and immediately gave the order to attack.

In an instant, overwhelming attacks surged in from the outside of the shield.

These attacks, although unable to hit the eastern human army, could still shatter the countless ice spikes that filled the sky.

“Concentrate fire on one target!”

The four corps commanders of the eastern human army quickly made adjustments.

The two hundred million eastern human army began to focus their fire, launching countless ice spikes continuously towards several hundred locations.

Boom! Boom! Boom!…

The ice spikes, unstoppable, not only quickly pierced through the shield but continued to push forward.

Those from the allied forces attacking from the perimeter were completely unprepared and were taken down in droves as they were hit behind the shield by the ice spikes.

It came in an endless stream.

As the ice spikes continued unabated, the allied forces in front were constantly shot down, creating an ever-expanding vacuum zone.

With the eastern human army’s long-range attack reaching millions of kilometers, they pushed onward.

The commanders of the various tribes were dumbfounded.

They had no idea how to respond.

They did not believe there was any possible method or strategy left to handle this situation.
