Chapter 92: The Outbreak of War
The result of the battle quickly emerged, the Transcendent from the Mystic God Temple was slain by the Kales Empire Soldier, just as Xu Mo had said, that Empire Soldier could indeed be stronger.
The icy helmet's eyes emitted a murderous light, as the Empire Soldier sitting on the monster's back pointed a long black spear in the Republic's direction.
Over at the Kales Empire side, a figure surrounded by the crowd also sat on a monster's back, someone nearby spoke, "Your Highness Lonco, the morale is high now, should we initiate an attack?"
"Wait for one more round, let Hake kill another person, then order a full charge, target Heath O'Brien, don't engage in more battle, just kill him alone," Lonco Kales whispered.
The cohesion of the Empire Soldiers was stronger than that of the O'Brian Republic, the group of people from the Republic was like scattered sand, very easy to break through, they had a chance to kill Heath O'Brien with one full force charge.
If a full-scale battle erupts, he is not interested, it would cause considerable losses to his side, although after entering the Empire Trial Field, a large number of troops would soon scatter, but he doesn't want to lose too much power.
Before dispersing to various locations within the Empire Trial Field, he will charge once, and if he can kill Heath O'Brien, it will undoubtedly boost the morale greatly regarding the war between the Empire and Republic.
This opportunity cannot be missed.
Over on the side of the Kales Empire, the sound of shouts began to rise, in contrast, over at the O'Brian Republic side it was utterly silent, with two consecutive deaths, they all realized that the first Soldier dispatched by the Kales Empire was indeed a top-notch Transcendent.
To kill him, it's likely that top-tier figures would have to intervene to have confidence.
Otherwise, they could end up just being cannon fodder.
The Cultivators from the Mystic God Temple felt a stir within upon seeing a companion fall so quickly, though the high casualty rate was anticipated, dying so swiftly still had some impact.
They are not military personnel, they didn't come to fight a war.
Lonco Kales was right, the cohesion among the O'Brian Republic's Transcendents was not strong, not only the Republic, but the major forces of each Star Domain actually are alike, each Star Domain is formed by the combination of various civilizational forces.
If we talk about cohesion, the Kales Empire might be the strongest.
Heath O'Brien's expression was cold, he gazed at those around him, if Proto took action there would certainly be no problem, but he wouldn't send Proto to the field.
His confidant beside him could be selected, but Heath O'Brien still turned his gaze towards the black mecha and spoke, "Xu Mo, is it possible to ask you to eliminate this Fake Empire maniac for the Republic?"
The reason Heath O'Brien asked Xu Mo to take action was firstly due to Xu Mo's combat power, being able to sweep everyone from Willton's Divine Temple, if Xu Mo also lost, then there aren't many who could defeat the opposing side, his people taking action would also be unguaranteed.
Besides, even if Xu Mo were to be defeated, he should have some capability to protect himself.
Of course, he hoped Xu Mo could defeat the opponent, should Xu Mo win, it could help bind Xu Mo to his own battleship, this serves as a test of compliance, if Xu Mo is willing to fight, things will be easier afterward.
Xu Mo frowned upon hearing Heath O'Brien's words, Heath O'Brien was an ambitious man, certainly calculating, this was the beginning of him using Xu Mo, just as he anticipated, he wanted to exploit Heath O'Brien, but it seemed unlikely, only to be used, not for close association.
He certainly wasn't willing to fight, not to mention the opponent's strength itself was very formidable, even if victorious, it might attract the Empire's attention, if the Empire initiated a direct attack, he could become the focus of all criticisms, this isn't the scenario he wished to see.
Moreover, as a Cultivator of the Mystic God Temple, he doesn't feel a strong sense of belonging to the Republic, he is from Byron Star.
Heath O'Brien wanting to cultivate him as a subordinate to assist him naturally wasn't feasible.
But after hesitating, Xu Mo still stepped forward, he didn't want to outright offend Heath O'Brien, this battle could be considered giving the opponent some face, after all, given Heath O'Brien's special status, he still needed to mingle within the Republic.
However, after this, Heath O'Brien had better not trouble him again.
Seeing Xu Mo step out, Heath O'Brien displayed a meaningful smile.
The pitch-black mecha carried a menacing aura, the mecha itself was full of spikes, giving off a dangerous vibe, the Kales Empire Soldier gripped his long black heavy spear tightly, the monster beneath him let out a deep growl, its massive right hoof scraping the ground, spitting out black energy light.
"Boom..."
The mecha suddenly activated, shooting forth explosively, as colorful blue energy light burst from the rear of the mecha.
Suddenly, brilliant blue lights lit up on the pitch-black mecha, its speed frightening, almost simultaneously, the Kales Empire Soldier and the monster rushed forward, charging at the mecha.
On the mecha, arcs of dazzling blue light were ejected, like beams of destruction, attacking the opposite side.
The Empire warriors leaped into the air, separating from the monsters, attacking the mecha from above and below, perfectly avoiding the blue light shot by the mecha.
"Boom."
A heavy force struck, the mecha's speed seemed to slow down, affected by gravity, but its impact force was strong, still moving straight forward. The Empire warrior of the Kales Empire in mid-air wielded a black heavy spear, violently striking, the power was terrifying.
"Buzz..." As the heavy spear fell, the massive and fierce mecha unexpectedly folded in an instant, like a light perfecting avoiding the attack of the spear.
The monster's giant claws came crashing down forward, its size was not smaller than the mecha.
Only to see the mecha transform into afterimages, completing an astonishing evasive maneuver at high speed, appearing at the side of the monster. The cold mechanical blade directly sliced through the monster's body from the side, blood spurted out.
One human and one beast brushed past each other, then everyone saw the monster's body falling downwards.
The Kales Empire side fell silent, eyes fixed on that mecha, the battle erupted in the blink of an eye, Xu Mo had already completed a series of actions, killing the mount of the Empire warrior.
The Republic also dispatched top transcendent fighters to the battle.
Transcendent fighters from the O'Brian Republic stared at the battlefield, somewhat surprised by Xu Mo's proficiency in piloting the mecha. The actions just now seemed simple, but in fact, every step was calculated. He had locked different positions with energy light during the attack, isolating the opponent's human and monster, and predicted the direction of attack, performing an extreme evasive maneuver upon arrival, instantly killing the monster.
People at the Mystic God Temple only knew Xu Mo was strong, but didn't expect him to be so skilled at piloting a mecha, which surprised many.
The central battlefield was still filled with a murderous atmosphere. The Kales Empire warrior turned around, staring at Xu Mo's mecha, holding the heavy spear tightly, a powerful gravity field erupted, forming an astonishing force around him.
The long spear pointed downward, his body rushing forward, Xu Mo's mecha blasted forth as well.
As they approached, an incredibly terrifying gravity field appeared, Xu Mo felt its gravitational effect even inside the mecha. The opponent swung the spear straight down, emitting a loud roar, the power was extremely violent.
The mecha continued to charge straight, energy bursting to its strongest.
The impact of the mecha was inherently strong, even affected by the gravity field, the explosive force remained terrifying. Both arms holding a giant energy battle blade, slashing downward, collided fiercely with the long spear.
Sword and spear clashed, bursting into colorful energy flames, the mecha continued to impact forward, the force supported the explosive power of the spear. The mechanical body slammed into the opponent's body.
"Bang..." The black mecha was filled with spikes, the violent collision forced the opponent's body backward. Before he could stabilize, the mecha charged forward again, brilliant energy light burst from the battle blade, stabbing into the eyes, a magnificent slash, not like a mechanical slash, but like sword technique.
The blue energy light illuminated the space, the Kales Empire warrior's heavy spear blocked hurriedly, unable to defend against this violent strike. The long spear was shaken from his hands, and in the next moment, he saw the brilliant blue light sweeping across, a puffing sound, the giant energy battle blade sliced through the opponent's helmet, decapitating him.
The opponent's body fell, while the black mecha still towered in the air, holding the eerie war saber still shining with terrifying blue energy light.
Concentrating all the mecha's energy onto the war saber, then bursting with sword technique, the power was indeed terrifying.
The victory on the battlefield boosted morale on the Republic side, many cheered, looking at the mecha, worthy of being the top genius of the Mystic God Temple, transcendent fighters at the Mystic God Temple reevaluated Xu Mo.
Meanwhile, within the Empire army, there was dead silence, morale greatly reduced.
"The transcendent of the Republic has beheaded the Empire warrior's head, humiliating the Empire's warriors in a disgraceful manner." Lonco Kales's voice was full of agitation, speaking coldly: "Empire warriors, I need his and Heath O'Brien's heads to honor the Empire's warriors."
"Kill!"
As his words fell, he took the lead, charging forward, in an instant, the sounds of killing shook the skies, the Empire army charged forward simultaneously, mighty and grand, the terrifying aura made people tremble, even the beasts in the air dared not approach.
Xu Mo frowned, evidently did not expect the Kales Empire to start the battle directly, this was very unfavorable for both sides, no one knew what kind of brutal circumstances the army war would cause.
"Kill him and Heath O'Brien." A killing voice echoed from the Empire army, previously their target was only Heath O'Brien, now Xu Mo was added.
"Xu Mo, quickly pull back." Heath O'Brien shouted, no need for him to shout, the mecha sped towards the Republic side, returning to the Republic camp.
"Start long-range attacks first." Heath O'Brien ordered, immediately all transcendent fighters equipped with long-range attack weapons aimed at the Empire's army and opened fire.
