Chapter 361: Wind Command Token
At the instant before contact, the Blood-colored Divine Might Army activated their battle formation, and their vital energy instantly connected into a single line, resembling a sharp war blade, sweeping fiercely towards the Feng Order Army.
At the same time, the Feng Order Army seamlessly initiated their own special techniques. Countless familiar green wind elements swirled around them, quickly forming a solid wind shield, protecting the Feng Order Army within. While enhancing their defense, it also abruptly increased their speed.
The Blood-colored Divine Might Army clearly noticed the unusual skills in the opponent's battle formation. Unfortunately, with both armies in close proximity, it was already too late to make any changes.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
With the explosive roars from both sides, two forces collided with a thunderous crash.
Although the Blood-colored Divine Might Army had Third Transition experts, providing a more abundant flow of vital energy, the Feng Order Army had three times more soldiers. Therefore, the difference in total Magic Power between the two forces was negligible.
The next second, the Crimson Blade ripped through the wind shield defense of the Feng Order Army. Simultaneously, the Feng Order Army, with their speed further augmented, had already thrust their long spears through the frontline warriors of the Blood-colored Divine Might Army.
Thus, the soldiers at the forefront of both armies fell like rows of wheat, swiftly harvested by the cruelty of war, collapsing into pools of blood.
Afterward, both armies unleashed their full combat power, and the melee was fully ignited.
Lu Hong frowned slightly. The highest in these Feng Order Army were merely at the Second-Transformation Peak. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were certainly inferior to the Blood-colored Divine Might Army. But just now, seeing the wind element force surging within their bodies, Lu Hong sensed something amiss.
It seemed they had received some additional blessing.
Initially, Lu Hong did not intend to use Di Shu, this versatile asset, but seeing the fallen bodies from the first charge of the Blood-colored Divine Might Army, Lu Hong felt distressed.
"Di Shu, help me perceive their special means!"
"As you command, Master."
Almost with the next breath, Di Shu spoke again: "Master, eight divine-level artifacts are hidden deep in the opponent's camp, seemingly devices for storing and releasing Magic Power."
Just as suspected!
Lu Hong understood that the opponent was leveraging a massive amount of Magic Power stored in divine-level artifacts, significantly boosting their fighting capability.
"Cheating is not a good habit." Since the opponent used divine-level artifacts beyond battlefield equilibrium, naturally, on their side, it was time to deploy him as the divine-level tool.
Lu Hong applied slight force on the ground, propelling forward like a cannonball, charging aggressively towards the hiding place of the divine-level artifacts marked by Di Shu.
Seeing Lu Hong's route of action, the tough man was also shocked. How did he discover me so fast despite my good concealment?
"Follow me!"
The tough man didn't dare delay, hurriedly calling his trusted aides to intercept Lu Hong.
Within a breath, the two collided.
Unfortunately, the situation the tough man expected, one of equal strength, didn't occur.
In merely an instant, the explosive airwave was unbearable for them, their bodies feeling like they were shredded by the air. In almost an unstoppable state, the tough man and nearly three thousand personal soldiers behind him, their top-tier armors shattered inch by inch, revealing numerous wounds as if cut by a sharp blade, from which large amounts of blood spurted out.
Bang, bang, bang...
Except for the tough man and two trusted aides' commanders, the other personal army had ceased breathing, lying in pools of blood.
Sweeping past the tough man's interception, Lu Hong also restrained this unparalleled extreme force. Those Feng Order Army, after all, were to be used by his Divine Might Army for training; what was the point if they all died by his hand?
As Lu Hong charged into the Feng Order Army, he perceived that faint Magic Power fluctuation, resembling a dense net connecting all the soldiers of the Feng Order Army.
This was the unique divine-level artifact of the Feng Family, unmatched and unmatched.
Quickly, based on the transmission path of this magic, Lu Hong found the first divine-level Magic Power reserve box. Effortlessly, Lu Hong knocked out the ten soldiers guarding the artifact and then forcefully shut it down.
The moment the first artifact box was turned off, the Feng Order Army in this area visibly appeared uncomfortable, their strength and the Magic Power they wielded diminishing abruptly.
After Lu Hong completely retrieved those six artifact boxes, the Feng Order Army began to collapse.
The tough man, covered in bruises, sat dazedly on the ground, his face completely pale.
Indeed, since being defeated by Lu Hong's simple impact wave, he already knew the outcome of this battle. Even if the Feng Order Army could kill all the red-armored soldiers on the battlefield, they would all surely perish under the enemy commander's hands because this commander's strength had exceeded the limit that numbers could pile up to overcome.
As a beast-mixed blood, the tough man was aware of this power, a level of the Heavenly God, the extreme of strength, a terrifying brute force sufficient to counter Divine Power!
In any plane with realm suppression, a mortal god person was forever the ultimate ruler, an unbeatable supreme being.
"Sir! Sir! Quickly give orders! The brothers can't hold any longer!" The trusted aide's junior commander shook the stunned tough man with his face full of unwillingness, urgently shouting.
After a long time, the tough man came back to his senses, shaking his head in grief: "Surrender. We've lost..."
"This..." The two bloodied trusted commanders were stunned. Was this still their boss? The one who dared to challenge all authority in the Feng Family, dared to confront the Family Head, a lawless outlaw, actually showing fear and terror?
"Sir, if we are defeated, the family will not spare us!" At this time, another trusted aide, with eyes red, said: "Including our parents and relatives, they will all be executed! Even if we die, we must die on the battlefield. We cannot surrender. Dying in battle might offer a slim chance for our relatives to survive, but should we surrender, they will surely perish."
Saying this, the trusted aide held up his long knife and placed it on his neck, declaring tragically: "Sir, I'll go ahead of you!"
As he said this, he attempted to cut with force, but was hindered by a force, with the long knife unable to move an inch.
The trusted aide was stunned, then turned his head to see that Lu Hong had already arrived behind him.
"You?!" The trusted aide was shocked, quickly retreating several steps, falling to the ground.
No reason, the oppression Lu Hong provided was too strong. Just with sonic impact, Lu Hong could slaughter them, making him almost incapable of any resistance.
"Admirable courage." Lu Hong tossed away the long knife in his hand, then looked toward the tough man: "My name is Lu Hong, and you?"
Hearing Lu Hong's question, the tough man trembled all over, shaking as he said: "I... I am Tengge Feng Zhenghao."
"Feng Zhenghao? A good name." Lu Hong smiled, nodding: "I wonder if you're willing to follow me?"
To be honest, Feng Zhenghao's straightforward personality somewhat appealed to Lu Hong. Though the Feng Order Army was completely crushed by the Blood-colored Divine Might Army, it was because of the level advantage of the Blood-colored Divine Might Army and the unique effects of the formation.
Even as the Feng Order Army now faced a massive rout, the soldiers' formation remained largely intact. Even in retreat, it was done so orderly, methodically, and even without a commander's guidance, they adeptly and sensibly chose the most suitable actions based on the situation on the field, minimizing casualties to the utmost.
This certainly came from the instruction of the Feng Order Army's commander, namely Feng Zhenghao, a definite military genius.
The Great Song is destined to be Lu Hong's prize. The Great Song lacks a complete understanding of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. Regardless of how excellent a leader in the Great Song might be, due to the constraints in understanding, they cannot truly command in conflicts within All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
Thus, Feng Zhenghao is the best candidate in Lu Hong's mind. Only such a general could properly train the Great Song, turning it into an excellent army capable of confronting the armies of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
However, to Lu Hong's invitation, Feng Zhenghao shook his head slightly: "I can't possibly join you. As Zhou San said, if the Feng Family knew, my mother would certainly be executed by them."
"What if I can save your mother first?"
Lu Hong's words made Feng Zhenghao pause in silence. To be honest, even though this Feng Order Army was trained by him alone, these Feng Family offspring in their hearts actually looked down upon him as a mixed-breed. Had it not been for a past opportunity where he learned some top-tier battle methods and commanding techniques, he would probably have already been executed by the Feng Family alongside his mother.
And the only ones he had an attachment to were his two trusted aides beside him, but most of them had already perished under Lu Hong's sonic waves. Yet Feng Zhenghao did not blame Lu Hong, for it was a war after all, and on the battlefield, life and death must be determined.
