Chapter 841: Destroying the Shield

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The four corps commanders of the eastern human army began to continuously order a change in the direction of their concentrated fire.

After creating one vacuum zone after another within the allied forces, they switched to scattering ice spikes to continue their attack.

The Elite Race completely collapsed.

As they saw more and more holes pierced by ice spikes, the Elite Race commander couldn’t hold back and finally gave the order to retreat.

If they continued to resist, this Elite Race commander was sure that while the Elite Race could hold out for a while longer, the allied forces outside the shield would definitely not last, and they would abandon the Elite Race to flee.

The enormous shield that enveloped the entire Great Flame Empire Army began to expand rapidly and soon fell apart.

The commanders of the allied forces did not try to stop it.

Because even if the Elite Race continued to resist, it was clear they could not withstand the eastern human army’s continuous attacks.

Not only did the Elite Race need to retreat, but the allied forces also had to pull back.

The commanders of the allied forces also issued retreat orders.

The soldiers of various tribes felt as if they had been granted amnesty and began to retreat desperately.

"Consolidate forces, advance! Assassination teams, follow the eastern human army."

After receiving news of the allied forces’ retreat, the Marshal War City of the Great Flame Empire unhesitatingly issued a counterattack order.

In an instant, the eastern human army from all directions utilized their teleportation ability to gather towards one point.

Once assembled, they began to advance while unleashing fire seas and fire dragon attacks.

The terrifying fire seas and fire dragons rolled on endlessly, destroying and sweeping away any enemy in their path.

Wherever they passed, countless soldiers of the allied forces were engulfed, turning to ash in the flames.

Every second, tens of millions of soldiers fell into the sea of fire.

But what terrified the allied commanders even more was that the eastern human army’s advancing speed was not fast.

At the very least, it was not faster than the allied forces’ retreat speed.

However, the fire seas and fire dragons of the eastern human army kept extending their striking distance, ensuring they could kill any allied soldiers blocking their path.

Ten thousand kilometers, twenty thousand kilometers, thirty thousand kilometers…

The entire southeastern allied forces suffered heavy losses.

"Scatter! Everyone, spread out!"

The commander reluctantly made the decision.

While scattering would lead to a rout, it was the only way to possibly speed up their escape and minimize fatalities from the terrifying attacks of the eastern human army.

After pursuing for a while, and seeing the complete rout of the allied forces in this direction, the four corps commanders of the eastern human army immediately issued a teleport order to change their attack direction.

In an instant, the two hundred million eastern human army used their teleportation ability to appear on the other side of the Great Flame Empire, launching frenzied attacks against the allied forces retreating in an orderly manner.

After suffering tremendous losses, the commander of the allied forces in this direction had to subtly issue the order to scatter and flee.

The eastern human army then followed suit, changing their attack direction and using their teleportation ability to appear in another location.

The cycle continued on until the entire allied force completely fled, at which point the attack finally ceased.

The soldiers of the various tribes in the Great Flame Empire stood dumbfounded.

Before the battle, they had already prepared themselves psychologically for the possibility of being completely wiped out.

There was nothing they could do; the disparity in numbers was too great.

The allied forces had a strong elite army of ten trillion soldiers, all of whom were above level one hundred eighty.

In contrast, the Great Flame Empire had only slightly over thirty trillion soldiers, with an average cultivation level of only level one hundred seventy.

Not only did they have only a fraction of the allied forces, but their average level was also a whole major realm lower.

This was simply not a fair war.

It seemed almost certain to end in a complete rout.

But they did not expect that when the battle truly began, it would be an entirely unequal confrontation.

Yet the outcome was the opposite.

Before the two hundred million eastern human army, the trillion-strong allied forces could not withstand a single strike.

In fact, the two hundred million eastern human army could relentlessly chase and hunt down the trillion soldiers of the allied forces, forcing them to suffer a total rout.

From the moment the eastern human army officially began their attack to the point where the allied forces completely collapsed and scattered, the entire process lasted only about an hour.

The cost for the allied forces was immense, with trillions of elite soldiers engulfed by fire, turning to ashes.

While these losses seemed insignificant compared to the total number of the allied forces, the terrifying methods of attack left an indelible psychological scar on every member of the allied forces.

The soldiers of the Great Flame Empire never expected that this battle would turn out like their previous assaults on other races, merely acting as numbers for the cleanup and aftermath.

Their expectations were correct.

Soon, orders began to come from the command center.

The eastern human army started to rest while the various tribes scattered, sending out personnel to clean up the battlefield and recover various Space Stones and treasures.

…

"How is this possible?"

In the command center of the allied forces, the leaders of the three dominant races and other large tribes struggled to believe this outcome.

They clearly thought victory was assured; the Elite Race’s hundreds of billions of elite soldiers had formed an enormous shield that had shrunk to a radius of only ten thousand kilometers from the Great Flame Empire’s army.

If they reduced it a bit more, the allied forces’ long-range attacking army could attack and destroy the Great Flame Empire’s forces without any hesitation.

But unexpectedly, the eastern human army suddenly erupted with power that had increased by over tenfold since the last confrontation.

They no longer deployed only fire seas and fire dragon attacks; instead, they switched to ice spike attacks, which were more penetrating and almost equally devastating, targeting the weaknesses of the Elite Race.

What shocked the leaders further was that after the collapse of the Elite Race’s shield, the eastern human army’s long-range attack range had increased to several million kilometers.

This was a drastic shift from their initial assessment that the eastern human army’s long-range attacks were only one or two hundred kilometers.

The teleportation ability of the eastern human army also far exceeded expectations.

The allied forces suffered not only a crushing defeat but also losses in the trillions.

This was still under the condition that the eastern human army did not pursue with full force; otherwise, the losses would have been even more terrifying.

"No wonder the commander of the Great Flame Empire’s army shows no fear of our traps and continues to lead his forces toward us."

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe murmured to himself, looking extremely grim.

With just the eastern human army, they had been beaten so thoroughly that the allied forces could hardly fight back—what were they supposed to do?

Their plan was to first defeat and control the Great Flame Empire’s army, then use that to set traps to lure Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, into a vulnerable position.

Yet what was supposed to be a guaranteed victory had turned into a scenario where the eastern human army held an absolute advantage, overwhelming the allied forces, forcing them into a rout to escape the pursuit of the eastern human army.

How were they supposed to defeat and control the Great Flame Empire’s army to lure or threaten Yi Chen into appearing?

Surely they couldn’t change their strategy and directly target Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity?

But if they did that, those top-tier combat powers would also risk being attacked by Yi Chen and the elite assassination teams of the Great Flame Empire.
