Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Seeing this scene, Ash's emotions couldn't help but be aroused.

"Xiadie, look! This is our Shurima battle!"

There was no response. The breath of death flowed past Ash. The next second, Xiadie floated down from the platform and headed towards the distant battlefield.

No matter who she was in the past, now she is the high priestess of Shurima, and it is her duty to participate in this battle and bring the echo of death to the enemy.

Ash smiled slightly.

"Don't leave me last."

After saying this, the yellow sand under Ash's feet surged, and under the gaze of the people of Shurima, he flew into the distance on the golden quicksand.

"Let the battle begin!"

...

Keep going!

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 44: God's Blood! Kill! Kill! Kill! [5k first order required!]

Outside the royal city of Shurima, swords faced each other on the vast land.

"Medemos, the traitor, repent! Repent to the will of Nicardori!"

Shouts came from the Xuanfeng Army. The Xuanfeng general holding a war hammer took the lead. His tall body brought a suffocating sense of oppression. He swung the war hammer, and the cold light cut through the light spot where the night and the sun intersected, and hit the Shurima soldiers.

boom!

The armor was broken by the power of the hammer, and the concave pressure sank into the soldiers. The chest of every person who was hit was directly shattered, and a large amount of blood spurted out of the mouth.

"Areit!"

Ten thousand enemies rushed forward at an accelerated speed, crossing the battlefield and coming in front of each other.

Aret, the perennial winner of the Hanging Edge Arena, is one of King Olipon's most trusted generals!

Once upon a time, all his enemies had the same ambition as him, to use their own strength to interpret the glory of the conflict, to be born for the battle, and to die for the battle!

It was just the difference in ideas that ultimately led Wan Di to take another path.

boom!

The bombardment of iron fists and war hammers created a surge of air waves.

Those blessed by God hone their will and martial arts through trials close to death, and their strength is even stronger than some of the Golden Descendants.

"Why!" Aret stared at Wandi angrily, "Why did you betray Nicardoli? You are obviously Xuanfeng's most outstanding warrior, the hero in Wang Shi's mouth, and the pride of Xuanfeng!"

Wan Di's eyes were like the sun, burning with flames: "Then do you know the pain I felt when I was thrown into the Styx? Do you know the loss I felt when my father hated me? Do you know the powerlessness I felt when those priests criticized me? I am cursed with immortality, but none of these can destroy my will. But do you know the tragedy of my mother being brutally murdered by Olipon in order to save me?"

"These are not reasons for you to betray Nicardoli!" Aret sympathized with the enemy, but betrayal was the most shameful thing for a warrior. "You and I are both Xuanfeng warriors. You should know how heavy the honor we carry is!"

"Glory?" Wan Di let out a self-deprecating smile. "Areit, look at the current state of Xuanfeng City. Look at those people. Where is the glory of being a Xuanfeng warrior left? Olipon has gone mad. He is usurping the power of God. And Nicardoli is also heading down a path of madness. If this is what you call glory, then let it stay in the trash can!"

Madness, cruelty, endless conquest and slavery, is this the glory of a warrior?

He has ten thousand enemies and will never recognize it!

The bombardment of hammer and iron fist was like a clash of wills, neither able to convince the other. But Wan Die was ultimately immortal, and even if his immortality had a limit, it was definitely not something Aret could break.

When the iron fist shattered the hammer, the hard mineral material disintegrated in Aret's astonished eyes, and the fist filled with the rage of the enemy hit Aret's abdomen without hesitation... Although they had known each other for a long time and even had a good relationship, as warriors, giving their all on the battlefield was a sign of respect for each other.

boom!

The iron fist shattered the armor, and the dull feeling of the blow made Aret spit out blood. The damage to the warhammer put him in a complete disadvantage. As the attacks of thousands of enemies continued to fall, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his burly body fell down!

"Areit, I have taken away your glory."

After the last sentence was spoken, Wan Di swung his iron fist and fell down without hesitation.

Seeing the death of his companions, with whom he once chatted and laughed, his heart twitched violently, but it was only for a moment, and Wan Di's eyes became firm again.

"Arret, this is your best destination... but my destiny lies even further ahead. I must not stop until I reach it."

"Goodbye."

Without hesitation, Wan Di continued to join the battle.

Aret wasn't the only general in the Hanging Blade Army, and their attacking force was far larger than the Shuriman army. Wan Di estimated that there were definitely over three thousand of them. Furthermore, there was no telling how much support would arrive from the rear. Every second he hesitated meant the Shuriman soldiers would fall.

There is no time to remember him!

With the same soldiers, in a 1v1 situation, Shurima is at an absolute disadvantage.

No one knows better than him how terrifying the Xuanfeng warriors are, and the elite of Xuanfeng are the executioners who slaughter on the battlefield!

"Ok?"

The enemies in the battle suddenly felt a special aura approaching.

It's death.

"She's here too?"

Watching the Xiadie fighting with scythe in hand, Wandi was somewhat surprised. Although Xiadie had been in Shurima for quite some time, she had rarely volunteered for combat. Due to the unique nature of her abilities, she wouldn't even interact with humans. If she was someone who refused to die, then Xiadie, in a sense, represented death itself.

Any living creature that comes into direct contact with the Xiadie will be affected by the power of death, and the weaker ones will even return directly to the arms of Senatos.

This made it incredibly easy for Xiadie to clean up the smaller enemies. Simply releasing auras of death could render them incapable of combat. Unfortunately, in such a chaotic battle, death didn't distinguish between friend and foe. Xiadie had to control herself as much as possible to avoid harming the Shurima soldiers, forcing her to rush forward, where the front lines converged.

But the Xuanfeng Warriors are no rookies.

Moreover, the Xuanfeng Army does not only have melee soldiers, those long-range arrows pose a particularly great threat to Xiadie.

Wandi frowned as he watched Xiadie being gradually surrounded. Just as he was about to go over to help, he suddenly saw a gust of sand blowing up. Then, as expected, the sand soldiers controlled by Ash joined the battlefield.

"It's the Yellow Sand Soldier! That Ash is here!!"

Someone in the Xuanfeng Army roared angrily.

The Sand Soldiers have become Ash's symbol, and are the very existence that infuriates countless Xuanfeng soldiers.

Soon, Wan Di discovered that these Xuanfeng warriors fiddled with their helmets, and their cheeks that were originally exposed were suddenly covered in all directions. The only area used for breathing was also specially treated, and the yellow sand could not get in at all.

After several contacts with Yaxiu, the Xuanfeng people are not fools and naturally know how to deal with the troublesome wind and sand.

"Quite smart."

At the rear of the battlefield, Ash controlled the sand soldiers and attacked from both sides of the Xuanfeng Army.

After two thousand sand soldiers joined the battle, the situation began to change immediately. When the protruding sand wall blocked the thrown arrows, the sand soldiers rushed out from behind the sand wall and engaged in a melee with the Xuanfeng warriors.

As long as the sand soldiers can tear the formation apart and enter a melee state, it will be his biggest advantage.

Boom boom boom!

The soldiers on both sides of the Xuanfeng Army suddenly raised their shields.

These soldiers were all shield warriors, holding a large shield that was almost as tall as a person. They stood in the front line of the sand soldiers' attack, and with their strong physique, they waved their shields and actually blocked the sand soldiers' attack.

Ash raised his brow.

The sand soldiers he summoned now had the advantage of being numerous and summoned quickly, but their shortcomings were also obvious.

That is, when used in a one-on-one frontal attack, the attack power is slightly insufficient.

If you face a fully armed Xuanfeng warrior, it will take several of them to replace one of them.

But because of the constant summons, it doesn't matter even if the casualties reach three to one or even five to one.

The Xuanfeng people had apparently also discovered this characteristic, so they made large shields to resist the attacks of the Sand Soldiers. They didn't need to kill the Sand Soldiers, because they could never kill them all. As long as they could stop the Sand Soldiers' attacks, the remaining soldiers could face the Shurima army head-on and still win.

After all, the number of the Xuanfeng Army is too large, more than twice that of the Shurima army.

Moreover, they can have the advantage in one-on-one combat. Even if the number of people is equal, as long as there is no interference from the sand soldiers, the Xuanfeng Army is confident of victory.

"As expected of a fighting nation, they're much better at tactical research than other places."

Ash pondered for a moment. He tried to mobilize the Sand Soldiers to charge, but due to the limited space, the Sand Soldiers at the front couldn't break through the defenses of the Hanging Blade's Shield Soldiers. The entire Hanging Blade army was defended by Shield Soldiers on the left, right, and rear, leaving only the front to engage the Shuriman soldiers.

Only then did he realize that the Xuanfeng army had a large number of archers in its ranks, a significant difference from the lineups used in previous battles. Xuanfeng warriors primarily focused on charging, so both the initial skirmish and the subsequent battles around Xuanfeng City were fought almost exclusively in close combat.

Even if there are archers, there won't be too many of them.

But now, among the more than 3,000 Xuanfeng troops, there are at least 1,000 archers. They are located in the middle of the formation, defended on all sides by shield soldiers, and shoot arrows in their hands at the Shurima soldiers in front of them.

They didn't want to waste an arrow on the sand soldiers!

Seeing the Shuriman soldiers falling one after another, Ash had an idea and threw the Miracle Orb out.

The orb, bathed in the power of time, flew high into the sky, projecting a domain of time under Ash's control. The area covered by this domain wasn't large, but it was enough to cover one side of the Hanging Vanguard formation, enveloping the shield warriors and sand soldiers alike.

Then Ash murmured softly, "Night."

The next moment, the area covered by the light of the miracle orb instantly turned pitch black!

The Xuanfeng Army soldiers, who had lost their vision, panicked instantly.

They had originally held shields, just holding off the Sand Soldiers' attacks, but now they had no idea where the Sand Soldiers were! Meanwhile, Ash could sense the situation in the darkness through the sand, and what he saw was what all the Sand Soldiers saw.

Wow!

Ash waved his hand, and the condensed sand spears broke through the shield warriors in the front. When a small hole was torn in the formation, he immediately controlled the sand soldiers to charge in. The shield warriors, who had lost their vision, had no idea where to go and had no time to fill the formation before they were killed by the spear blades stabbed by the sand soldiers!

For a moment, the Xuanfeng array, which had been advancing in an orderly manner, became a mess!

"Get out! Get out now!!!"

The roar of the Xuanfeng people came from the darkness.

They couldn't see around them, but they could see places in the distance that were still shrouded in light.

"As long as we reach that place, as long as we resist that place..."

Light became the only hope for the Xuanfeng warriors trapped in the darkness. They groped their way through the chaos, relying on their fighting instincts to fend off the attacks that could come at any moment. But in this environment, even the most experienced warriors couldn't completely block all attacks. When screams rang out, the Xuanfeng warriors began to panic.

Fear is spreading!

The unknown crisis was far more terrifying than the swords and knives that were coming directly at them. Suffering from the double blow of both the mind and the body, and hearing the terrible screams of their companions, the formation that had been somewhat scattered collapsed instantly.

Without the shield warriors' resistance, the sand soldiers rushed into the Xuanfeng Army's formation, and their first target was those damn archers!

It turns out that not all archers are super strong in close combat.

Seeing the Xuanfeng Army's formation collapse, Ash used the same trick again and moved the darkness covered by the Miracle Orb to the other side.

"this..."

The Xuanfeng Army's formation gradually collapsed, and the pressure on the front battlefield was instantly reduced by more than half. The enemies who were fighting hard were slightly defeated. He did not expect that Oronis's power could be used in this way.

As expected of Ash, a man suspected of having acquired Zagreus's power, it is normal for him to be cunning and scheming.

As long as their tactics worked, they were good. The essence of war was to achieve victory and fulfill their objectives. In the process, as long as they didn't violate their principles as warriors, it didn't matter. Whether the enemy died sideways, sideways, or even half dead, the enemy didn't care.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"

The collapse of the formations on both sides made the commander of the Xuanfeng Army immediately realize that if they continued fighting, the only outcome would be defeat, so they decisively chose to retreat and regroup for the battle.

The retreat of this Hanging Vanguard Army was obviously trained in advance. The shield warriors cut across the formation and stood between the Shuriman soldiers and the Hanging Vanguard Army to protect others.

However, because the darkness brought by the miracle orb obstructed the vision of some people, it was impossible for these people to evacuate in a short period of time. They could only rush in one direction for their lives. How many of them could rush out depended entirely on their skills and luck.

Although doing so will result in heavy losses, at least you won't be trapped in the array of sand soldiers until you are completely wiped out.

Very decisive. Ash had to admire the execution ability of the Sword Warriors, which was something that the Shuriman soldiers could not compare to at the moment.

But, there is no Kansai!

The Shuriman soldiers could not carry out the order, but the Sand Soldiers could. They were like an extension of Ash's body, completely following his will, executing every order in a unified and unhesitating manner.

Such a team, even if the individual strength is not that strong, will be equally terrifying when it forms an army and goes to the battlefield.

It can even be said that it is because they are on the battlefield that they can display combat capabilities far beyond their normal times!

"Dark night!"

Ash controlled the Miracle Orb and turned to the front of the retreating Xuanfeng Army.

The falling night was like putting a black bag on the heads of this army, and they suddenly lost their direction. Then he controlled the Sand Soldier Corps to encircle them from both sides and continued to entangle the retreating Xuanfeng soldiers.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!” Julius roared in the Shuriman army, “Follow King Ash! King Ash will win!!”

"King Ash will win!!"

The Shuriman soldiers also began to pursue.
