Chapter 934

Yes, the spears used by the Purple Cloud Empire for its spear formation against cavalry charges were not made of wooden shafts.

Wooden spear shafts were used by kingdoms and some smaller empires.

The Purple Cloud Empire, having existed for over a thousand years, used entirely iron-forged spear shafts, with the spearheads further reinforced.

Iron-forged spear shafts were extremely difficult to break.

But under the massive impact of the Bear Warriors, even when the other ends of these spears were planted firmly into the ground, they could not withstand such terrifying force.

The result was that they sprang straight up from the ground.

Flinging the warriors pressing down on the spears into the air!

The Bear Warriors' momentum did not lessen; after smashing the spears away, they slammed violently into the thick shields of the enemy formation's soldiers.

The collision between shield and shield emitted an immensely heavy thud.

"Kuang dang!"

"Wah!"

One Purple Cloud Empire soldier was instantly knocked into a violent spurt of blood and tumbled backward into the soldiers behind him.

Even though this soldier possessed Third Rank strength, the Bear Warriors also had strength beyond Third Rank, and they possessed the innate advantage of massive weight—such terrifying mass, when carried at high speed, generated immense kinetic energy.

Before the two sides had even fully clashed, the front line of the Purple Cloud Empire's formation was utterly crushed by the Bear Warriors!

Immediately after, the Bear Warriors fully breached the enemy formation!

Behind them, the Lion Clan warriors, one hand holding a blade, the other a shield, followed closely behind, swiftly cutting down the lives of the Purple Cloud Empire soldiers.

This ten-thousand-man formation suffered devastating losses in a very short time.

"Hold the line!"

The formation's commander screamed hoarsely.

But it had no effect whatsoever.

Once the formation was broken, it lost all effective defense, and the battle descended into chaotic melee.

And powerful Beastman warriors truly preferred this kind of fighting.

Remember, in the past, Beastman nation warriors would charge forward in a frenzied mob during great battles, each fighting on their own.

Every one of them was a master of individual combat; they obeyed discipline and formed formations only to break enemy lines.

Once the formation was broken, these Beastman warriors unleashed their full combat potential.

In the Purple Cloud Empire's formation, even though its soldiers were not weak, their strength lay in collective coordination—and under conditions of inferior equipment and overall inferior strength, they could not possibly hold back the ferocious Beastman warriors!

This battle had barely begun, yet it had already taken on a crushing, one-sided opening!

"Archbishop Gabriel, act now—the Eight Kingdoms' bishops are already praying for divine power. I will persuade Old Lady Hai to intervene and first defeat their Saint Realm; then our mages can unleash overwhelming force!"

The Purple Cloud Holy Son, seeing the ferocity of the Flame Empire's army, could no longer remain calm.

As a Holy Son of a great empire, even if the enemy possessed three Saint Realms, the war had already begun—there was no turning back. The Purple Cloud Holy Son could only press forward.

Though they had only one Saint Realm and another that might not intervene, their Eight Kingdoms' bishops could still pray to gain the power of the Eight Divine Powers.

They also had a bishop from a minor empire, who could likewise summon the power of a Third-Tier deity—perhaps they could still fight!
