Chapter 208
They would also have soldiers fire arrows and use various heavy military equipment, such as catapults, heavy crossbows, and so on, to bombard the Title Douluo attempting to break the city.
"Heh, a defensive array? Do you really think that a defensive array of a mere hundred people can block my Spirit Hall Empire's army?"
At this moment, She Long Douluo was riding a warhorse, standing at the very front of the army, looking at the enemy on the city walls with disdain.
"Who are you! State your name!!" the enemy main general asked.
Although the Spirit Hall had many Title Douluo, not many were known to the outside world, and the appearances of many Title Douluo were unknown; for example, few people knew of the two Title Douluo, She Long and Citun.
She Long sneered: "Listen well, I am an Elder of the Spirit Hall, the level 92 She Long Douluo! She Long!!"
"If you know what's good for you, open the city gates immediately and kneel to surrender!"
"So it really is a Title Douluo." The enemy main general's eyes narrowed, and he then sneered mockingly: "Heh! So what if you're a Title Douluo! My Balake border city is easy to defend and hard to attack; even if your Spirit Hall Empire has Title Douluo, don't even think about breaking it!"
"A mere Balake border city dares to be arrogant! I will break your defensive array right now!!"
She Long Douluo looked arrogant and imposing, releasing his Snake Spear martial soul. Two yellow, two purple, and five black rings appeared beneath his feet, and he prepared to break the city gates alone.
But just at this moment, Lin Yu's voice came from the army: "Elder She Long, stand down."
The army opened up a path.
A young man with an extraordinary air was seen riding a warhorse, slowly emerging from the army.
Seeing Lin Yu, the enemy on the high walls and their main general immediately changed color, all showing expressions of terror and fear!
"This person! Could this be Lin Yu of the Spirit Hall!!"
"Main General, it's Lin Yu!!"
"Oh no! Rumor has it that two years ago, Lin Yu single-handedly killed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Bone Douluo and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's Yu Yuanzhen. Now that two years have passed, this Lin Yu's strength is likely even more powerful than a level 96 Title Douluo!"
"He actually joined the war too."
"Our defensive array probably won't be able to defend against him!!"
As soon as Lin Yu appeared, the enemy army panicked on the spot.
She Long immediately knelt on one knee: "Grand Marshal Lin Yu, it's just a mere Balake border city; there is no need for you to do it yourself. I, She Long Douluo, can break the city alone!"
"Stand down, She Long. I will break this city myself." Lin Yu walked slowly in front of She Long, looking coldly at the front.
A level 92 She Long Douluo alone, without bringing soldiers, might not really be able to break the city. If he struck a few times and didn't break the gates, it would definitely affect the army's morale.
This was, after all, the first battle of the Spirit Hall Empire's northern expedition against the Heaven Dou Empire.
For the first battle, Lin Yu had to take action himself, using the most ferocious power to shatter the city walls in one strike, letting all the soldiers of the army know the invincible spirit of their Spirit Hall Empire.
Only in this way would the army's morale and confidence be incredibly surging.
This would have a huge impact on the subsequent slaughter through the Heaven Dou Empire, so the first battle had to be fought beautifully!
"Yes! Grand Marshal Lin Yu!"
She Long obediently stood down.
Under the gaze of both armies, Lin Yu slowly walked toward the city walls. Beneath his feet, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, and dark crimson-gold rings appeared.
"This! What kind of terrifying soul ring configuration is this!"
The enemy army was terrified at the sight!
"Quick! Strengthen the defenses, hurry!!" The enemy main general was also scared out of his wits, shouting and urging the soldiers to strengthen the defenses.
"Let's see if your defensive array can block one of my sword strikes."
Lin Yu's majesty rose, his voice echoing through heaven and earth.
He flapped his angel wings and flew into the vast sky, looking down at the high walls before him: "Fifth soul skill, Angel Evil Thunder Sword."
The enemy main general's face was filled with extreme fear: "Fire arrows! Fire arrows!! Shoot him to death for me!!"
"Quick! All long-range Spirit Masters, release your soul skills and take him down!!"
"Useless resistance." Lin Yu's expression was cold as he slowly raised the Evil Thunder Sword, which was over ten meters long, and slashed toward the high walls like an invincible sword.
"Break!!"
Bang! Boom!
"Ahhhhh~~"
All the arrows fired in unison, along with attacks from various heavy equipment and the soul skills of a large number of Spirit Masters, were destroyed by the power of the Evil Thunder Sword.
Lin Yu's terrifying sword strike slashed down on the spot.
A heaven-shaking and earth-splitting sound shocked the entire army. The defensive array and the sturdy city walls were split in two by Lin Yu's sword on the spot, and the huge wall gate was broken open just like that.
Lin Yu broke the border city with a single sword strike!
In that instant, a large number of soldiers around the city gate were also slashed to death by the sword, and screams rang out one after another.
The enemy army fell into despair.
This scene also shocked our own army.
"Too amazing! This is Lin Yu!"
"This is the Grand Marshal of our Spirit Hall Empire!!"
All the soldiers of our army were excited to the extreme; their morale climbed to the peak under this sword strike. Every soldier seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, shaking the hearts of all.
Lin Yu pointed his sword forward and commanded the entire army: "The city gate is broken! All troops, listen to my command, kill your way into the city! Take the Balake border city!!!"
"Yes!!"
"Kill!!!!"
Following Lin Yu's order, the Spirit Hall Empire's two hundred thousand troops began to kill their way into the city frantically.
"Die!!"
Lin Yu also used his sword to instantly decapitate the enemy main general.
Breaking the city with one sword, the main general instantly beheaded.
The Balake border city's two hundred thousand troops could be said to have had their morale completely collapse. After the two armies fought in a melee for only a moment, the enemy army was beaten into fleeing the city in disarray.
Lin Yu easily won the first battle, a complete victory over the enemy.
There was no suspense at all.
Next, the two hundred thousand troops led by Lin Yu, like an invincible army, began to sweep through all the important strategic locations in every city of the Balake Kingdom.
"Kill!!"
"Take this city!"
City after city was captured by Lin Yu, and the territory of the Balake Kingdom was being rapidly invaded and occupied by the Spirit Hall Empire.
The map and land area of the Spirit Hall Empire were constantly expanding.
"Report!!!"
"Reporting to the Great Elder, Grand Marshal Lin Yu broke the Balake border city with one sword; the first battle was a complete victory!"
"Report! Grand Marshal Lin Yu has captured another city!"
"Report! Grand Marshal Lin Yu has captured yet another city!"
In Wuhun City, reports of victory from the front lines came one after another.
In just three short months, the two hundred thousand troops led by Lin Yu had already captured and occupied two-thirds of the Balake Kingdom's territory.
At this moment, the army was heading toward the Balake Kingdom's capital, Balake City.
As long as the Balake Royal City was captured, the gateway to the Heaven Dou Empire would be completely broken through.
At that time, the Spirit Hall Empire's army would be able to cross the Lima Plain and strike directly into the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Meanwhile, the army attacking the Xingluo Empire, under the leadership of Lin Tian, was also winning battle after battle, forcing the subordinate kingdoms of the Xingluo Empire to retreat repeatedly, and nearly half of their territory had been occupied.
If things continued like this, it would probably only take a year for the two Spirit Hall Empire armies to reach the capitals of the Xingluo and Heaven Dou Empires.
