Chapter 616: Undead Legion: Breaking the City with Zero Casualties

The Star Luo Empire's reaction to Nan Feihuang's grand army was, after all, too slow.

The reason is simple: the marching speed of a ten-thousand-man army certainly cannot compare to the information transmission speed of the Min Clan, but what about a hundred Spirit Masters rushing day and night?

In reality, Feihuang's ten-thousand-man army was only responsible for reaping the rewards; the ones who truly broke through the cities in succession were Xun Yu and Ye Lingling.

"This is Tianhai Pass. Not far behind it is the capital of the Star Luo Empire. If we take it in one go, the destruction of Star Luo will not be far off," Xun Yu laughed. "Then, the rest is up to us, Lingling!"

"Leave it to me!" Ye Lingling replied.

Xun Yu's Military Talisman appeared in his hand, and the next second, over a hundred soldiers appeared before him.

The current Xun Yu is Level 89, meaning the number of soldiers he can summon is 180.

Among them, the first 140 are Primary Soldiers, thirty levels lower than Xun Yu, which is equivalent to the strength of a peak Level 59 Soul King.

The remaining 40 are Intermediate Soldiers, twenty levels lower than Xun Yu, with the strength of a peak Level 69 Soul Emperor.

It is a pity that he has not broken through to the most critical Level 90; otherwise, his soldiers would at the very least be Soul Emperors, with the rest being Soul Saints or Spirit Douluos.

However, it is enough for now.

This martial soul lacks power in one-on-one combat, but it has marvelous uses in war.

"Charge!" Xun Yu gave the order, and the army launched its assault.

At this moment, he has already reached eight rings, and the number of troop types has increased.

The 80 men responsible for the charge at the front are the Sixth Spirit Ring Vine Armor Soldiers. The characteristic of this troop type is that they are impervious to blades and spears, with defensive power comparable to a Diamond Mammoth martial soul Spirit Master; their only weakness is a fear of fire.

The 60 big men in the middle with bulging muscles are the Fifth Spirit Ring Martial Combat Soldiers. The characteristic of this troop type is immense strength, comparable to a Vigor Ape martial soul Spirit Master; their weakness is relatively weak defense.

The final 40 men are the Eighth Spirit Ring Flying Blade Soldiers. The troop characteristic is possessing long-range attack capabilities with extremely fast attack speed; their attack power and efficiency may one day compare to the Guangling Divine Bow. Of course, they also have a drawback: their range is never as far as Archer Soldiers.

The three groups of soldiers arranged themselves into a cone-shaped formation and began to assault the walls of Tianhai Pass.

Like Jialing Pass, Tianhai Pass is a formidable barrier known for being able to block Spirit Master Legions, with sturdy walls and ample defenses.

The general in charge of defending the city ordered a volley of ten thousand arrows, determined to repel this small team of a hundred men.

Unfortunately, the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers hit the Vine Armor Soldiers' defenses and could not penetrate their vine armor in the slightest within a short time.

Although the Star Luo Empire's military strength is formidable, because of their hegemonic policies, they have relatively fewer Spirit Masters.

For instance, the Seven Great Sects are mostly established in the Heaven Dou Empire, where policies are relatively relaxed. After all, those who possess power naturally yearn for freedom; who would wish to be forever controlled by so-called imperial power?

Xun Yu smiled slightly, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate to recover his soul power.

The soldiers he summons are just like Food-type Soul Masters; they only consume soul power during the summoning, and afterwards, as long as the soldiers do not die, he does not need to re-summon them.

Moreover, ever since he obtained his Tool Soul Avatar, his avatar ability, in addition to increasing the soldiers' strength, also allows him to consume only one-third of the usual soul power each time he summons a soldier.

Therefore, summoning these soldiers with his current soul power actually consumes very little.

At this time, begonia flowers drifted across the battlefield.

Xun Yu's soldiers became even more fearless of death, stubbornly braving the volley of ten thousand arrows to fiercely attack Tianhai Pass.

The Vine Armor Soldiers took the lead in defense and advancement, and after the Martial Combat Soldiers reached the base of the city tower, they began to madly batter the city gate.

The Flying Blade Soldiers fired their blades in succession, sniping at the Star Luo soldiers on the city wall.

Perhaps it is a case of water dripping through stone; no matter how strong the Vine Armor Soldiers' defense is, being hit by arrows continuously will gradually make them fragile. The dozen or so men at the very front finally had their defenses broken, but with the Nine Heart Begonia present, they were not so easily killed.

After Star Luo exhausted ten thousand arrows and finally succeeded in killing two men, Xun Yu stood up and asked, "Lingling, my soul power is fully restored. How many of my soldiers have died?"

"Two. Did you think my Level 80-plus Nine Heart Begonia was a joke?" Ye Lingling said proudly.

"Good!" Xun Yu waved his hand again, his Military Talisman martial soul radiated light, and he summoned two more men to replenish the soldiers before they returned to the battlefield.

Then he sat cross-legged again and stood up in less than half a minute. "Lingling, my soul power is replenished again. How many have died now?"

After all, only summoning two soldiers, the soul power consumption is negligible; thirty seconds is enough to fully recover.

Ye Lingling said irritably, "You've only been sitting for half a minute, and not a single one has died. If you're bored, go help Feihuang write his letters. Isn't he writing some challenge letter to Tang Chen and Tang Xiao with the Empress?"

"Here, Lingling, ah—" At this moment, Zhang Xingcai walked to Ye Lingling's side and took out a cherry, placing it by Ye Lingling's mouth.

"Ah!" Ye Lingling obediently opened her mouth and consumed it. Instantly, the soul power she was consuming for continuous healing began to rise.

This is Zhang Xingcai's Eighth Spirit Skill, Crystal Bright Cherry, which can continuously restore the user's soul power for a duration of one hour.

In other words, within one hour, as long as one does not use soul skills that consume a massive amount at once, using ordinary soul skills is equivalent to consuming no soul power.

And Ye Lingling's soul skill is healing; this ability has never consumed much, and it even consumes less than it recovers.

In other words, at this moment, even if Ye Lingling continued to spread her begonia flowers across the battlefield for an hour, after that hour, she would still be at full status.

This is not a whit inferior to the Crystal Caterpillar Sausage from Oscar's original work, which instantly heals fifty percent of injuries and restores fifty percent of stamina.

It is just that producing this kind of cherry is not a small consumption for Zhang Xingcai; the quantity she can produce in a day is very limited, only two per day.

Yes, that is how they successfully took down the previous cities.

Xun Yu summons soldiers, and Ye Lingling turns the troops into an almost immortal legion that refuses to die, making the casualties of this unit extremely slow.

When casualties occur, Xun Yu has already fully recovered his soul power through meditation and re-summons the fallen.

Before Ye Lingling's soul power is completely exhausted, the enemy will find that no matter how they fight, the opponent has zero casualties.

But because of Zhang Xingcai's existence, wanting to completely exhaust Ye Lingling's Level 80-plus soul power is impossible without several hours.

An immortal legion that is always at full strength and composed entirely of Spirit Masters, recklessly using their own flesh and blood to madly assault the city walls—no matter how sturdy the wall, there will be a time when it collapses.

Finally, until the Star Luo army exhausted their arrows and Xun Yu's soldiers still had zero casualties, the Star Luo defenders were completely desperate.

As the city gate was smashed open by the Martial Combat Soldiers.

Shui Bing'er, wearing blue-crystal-colored armor like cold ice, stepped forward and shouted, "The city gate is open! The whole army, charge! Follow me and kill our way into the city!"

"Kill!!!"

The Gulei Kingdom soldiers brought by Feihuang were used at this moment to reap the Star Luo soldiers who were already desperate and had no will to fight.

With even their arrows exhausted, the Star Luo Empire's defenders had no means of resistance left.

Tianhai Pass was easily taken by Xun Yu.

When Feihuang and Lan Xue arrived with the rear guard, Nan Feihuang's military flag was already flying above. The two were respectfully invited by Xun Yu to the city tower; looking out from here, one could see the true heartland of Star Luo.

"Mother Empress, are you ready?" Feihuang asked.

Lan Xue smiled confidently, "Of course, this time, no matter what, I will not lose to the Clear Sky Hammer again!"
