Chapter 465: Rending the Withered, Pulling Down the Decayed

Clack clack clack…

The Julu Legion's charging roar was instantly drowned out by gunfire, a barrage denser than raindrops that merged into a single roar, reaching every ear on the battlefield.

The centaurs had already witnessed it at Torrent Fortress, so they remained relatively calm.

But the Yulin Blood Guard, seeing the Extreme Warrior in battle for the first time, each showed a horrified expression; they happened to stand in the line of fire of Lambo's Gun, with countless terrifying bullets whizzing overhead, nearly startling them into a jump.

Immediately, the Yulin Blood Guard saw the Julu warriors burst into sprays of blood, their strong, towering bodies ripped apart by bullets.

Their roars turned into wails as they rolled down the hillside.

The Extreme Warriors fired while advancing, spreading outward in a fan shape, expanding the machine‑gun coverage to a larger area, almost enveloping both ridges.

In just a few breaths, at least a hundred Julu warriors fell to gunfire.

The enemy's charging momentum was brutally cut off.

"This…"

Greyworm stared dumbfounded, instinctively turning to look at the Extreme Warrior, and saw that the Yulin Blood Guard beside him were equally unable to hide the shock on their faces.

"Dragon God above!" he prayed instinctively, then felt immense relief.

With such terrifying combat power, no wonder Her Majesty the Queen thought the Extreme Legion's strength far surpassed her own Yulin Guard, and fortunately she had abandoned the thought of provocation, otherwise the outcome would have been dreadful.

Bang!

A dead Snow Eagle fell from the sky, nearly crushing several Yulin Blood Guard.

The Snow Eagle's pure white feathers were stained red with blood, its body riddled with blood holes, its death gruesome; its rider had also been blown apart, dead before even hitting the ground.

The Yulin Blood Guard looked up and instantly saw more Snow Eagles plummeting down.

They flew swiftly and with great agility, yet the bullets were faster; the Extreme Warrior only needed a slight adjustment of the barrel for the fire to strike them, the protective white snow mist shattered by the bullets, which then pierced their bodies and shredded their wings.

Blood stained the sky as feathers fluttered everywhere.

Almost every second a Snow Eagle let out a wail, crashing down with its Eagle Song Hunter rider.

The formation of over two hundred Snow Eagles was shattered in an instant; some Snow Eagles, trying to dodge bullets, even collided with each other.

Boruqi, with three giant dragons, seized the chance to launch a full assault, charging into the Snow Eagle flock, spewing dragon breath, swinging claws, biting tails, and a rain of blood fell from the sky.

"No!"

The Eagle Song Hunter leader roared angrily; he knew the enemy army contained many Wizards, so he cautiously kept distance in the air to avoid entering the Wizards' spell range, waiting to deal with the dragons before striking the enemy forces from above.

He never imagined these legions that emerged from the early‑mid teleport could fire so far!

The Snow Eagle Guard had never faced such an attack, and suffered heavy losses in an instant.

The plan was shattered in an instant.

"Retreat quickly!"

"Brothers, fall back beyond their range!"

The Legendary Eagle Song Hunter scrambled to evade Boruqi's dragon breath, shouting the retreat order, successfully drawing the Extreme Warriors' attention.

"Shoot that guy down," Xika Liusi sneered, saying to the Extreme Warrior beside him.

Several Extreme Warriors raised their guns for focused fire, the gunfire roaring.

Clack clack clack clack…

Bullets faster than the naked eye burst forth, hurling toward the largest Snow Eagle in the sky, a legendary bird of prey, swift yet slower than the bullets.

Several streams of machine‑gun fire, like festering wounds, raged over its belly and wings; a layer of snow mist held for a few seconds before being shattered.

The Snow Eagle let out a wail, could no longer sustain flight, barely evaded a close‑range claw swipe from Boruqi, then toppled headfirst.

The Legendary Eagle Song Hunter on its back was both shocked and enraged; seeing Boruqi's three heads lunge, he could only bitterly abandon the mount he had ridden for years, his body drifting like a fallen leaf, strangely floating onto the back of a neighboring Snow Eagle.

Looking back, his Snow Eagle had already been torn to pieces by Boruqi.

Before he could devise a plan, a volley of gunfire followed like a shadow; the Snow Eagle beneath him let out a howl and began to wobble.

This time, the Legendary Eagle Song Hunter couldn't escape onto another Snow Eagle; he used the corpse as a flesh shield, falling into the mountain forest and disappearing.

The remaining Snow Eagles finally withdrew beyond Lambo's Gun range, escaping the disaster, though their numbers had been halved.

They and the Eagle Song Hunters on their backs were still shaken.

Yi Geng, Jialadelos, and Xindala, the three dragons, still intended to pursue the Snow Eagles, but Boruqi cautiously surveyed the forest below; among the thousands of super‑humans were several Legends and possibly a Legendary High‑rank spellcaster, too risky, so he roared in Dragon Language, "Return, do not chase any longer."

The four dragons turned and flew back, overlooking the battlefield below.

On the slopes flanking the centaurs, corpses lay everywhere, limbs scattered, and some still‑living Julu warriors let out cries of agony.

Those Julu warriors who had charged at the front—at least three to four hundred—were all killed by the Extreme Warriors' first sweep of fire.

Such a terrifying sight instantly drove back the enemies behind.

One by one they rolled and crawled back at a speed faster than a charge; some simply fell prone, hiding behind stones or lying in pits, not daring to lift their heads.

"Cease fire!"

Xika Liusi and three captains ordered the gunfire to stop, letting the now‑red barrels cool naturally.

The Extreme Warriors cleared the space before the Void Gate, and Duke Feishe's River Bay Legion poured out in squads, along with his lord's private troops; their numbers swelled, soon filling the open ground.

The centaur chieftain sounded the attack horn.

The outermost centaur troops began to advance, hooves stepping onto the slope, accelerating step by step.

The Gunwing Knights also moved.

One hundred fifty bronze pegasi spread their semi‑transparent wings, skimming the air, racing over the centaurs' heads and charging up the slope at top speed.

Gunwing Knights wielded submachine guns, shooting down at the enemies hiding on the ground.

Wizards empowered with flight followed closely, using the Gunwing Knights as cover to cast spells; several Wizards even alighted on the bronze pegasi, riding alongside the knights.

From the Wizards' hands flew streams of spells, forming into artillery batteries that bombarded the enemy.

Fireballs, ice spears, lightning, acid…

The Wizards who arrived at Kangjiatuo were at least Mid-stage, many High‑rank, each wielding area spells; multicolored magical energy rained into the forest below, explosions and screams mingling, destroying the woods while slaying the enemies within.

Some transcendent beings have strong resistance and wear protective gear, enduring the bombardment of spells.

But this is only temporary safety.

A burst of submachine‑gun fire swept through, and few could still stand.

Even if they blocked the bullets and didn't die, they were gravely wounded, left with half a life, then a spear from the half‑centaur army that rushed into the forest pierced them, even knocked them to the ground, and finally were trampled into mush by hooves.

Some high‑rank transcendent beings tried to lead a counterattack, but most of them are melee types, finding it hard to hit the airborne Gunwing Knights and Wizards; instead they exposed themselves, drawing submachine‑gun fire and spell bombardments, and died on the spot without a body.

There were also extremely powerful transcendent beings who leapt into the air, closing in on the Gunwing Knights.

Among them was even a Legendary Lord.

However, as soon as he approached, he was spotted by two Legendary Mid-stage Wizards who were mingling within the Wizard Corps; they were not as dazzling as the two Speakers, yet, being legendary Wizards from Weizelan, their strength far surpassed ordinary legends.

The two combined, instantly casting several spells in succession, easily dispatching the formidable foe.

The Gunwing Knight Corps tore through the Laobodier family army's line like a red‑hot blade, effortlessly slicing the cheese that stood before them.

The half‑centaur army charging on the ground met almost no resistance.

In the sky, forty‑eight Extreme Warriors rode fire dragons, raining countless bullets from higher altitudes, like the Grim Reaper swiftly harvesting the lives of transcendent beings.

The fire dragons kept opening their mouths, spitting exploding fireballs; massive fireballs fell and burst, igniting a raging blaze throughout the forest.

The Laobodier family's army collapsed across the board.

Duke Feishe's River Bay Corps also joined the fight, and more transcendent armies kept pouring out of the Void Gate; they raised their vassals' family banners, shouted as they surged up the slope, beginning a slaughter of the enemy.

"We have won!"

Waluogen relaxed his clenched fist, a smile appearing on his face; Aimilisi, Ding Laji and Ge Lei Wo Mu and the others also wore delighted expressions.

Duke Feishe also let out a sigh of relief.

If this battle is secured, Laobodier will lose its family lands, and Her Majesty the Queen of the seven duchies of Kangjiatuo will have already conquered four, gaining a huge advantage!

The victory was far easier than anticipated.

The Scale‑riding Guard never even had a chance to engage, merely protecting the surroundings.

Duke Feishe couldn't help but look at Lei En; all of this was thanks to this young man's existence—his Extreme Warrior Corps, his Gunwing Knight Corps, his led Wizard Corps—completely reshaping Kangjiatuo's war model and single‑handedly defeating the Laobodier family's army.

Lei En, however, did not let his guard down; he had not forgotten the Legendary High‑rank spellcasters in the opposing army.

"Speakers, any findings?"

Kaidejia and Kelaoaosi both shook their heads; they were guarding Aimilisi, specifically to defend against that spellcaster, yet he was nowhere to be seen.

Lei En thought for a moment, then said, "We'll teleport over. Speaker Kaidejia, Lord Duke, please join me in the attack. Speaker Kelaoaosi, you and the others stay here to protect Her Majesty."

There must be several legends among the Laobodier troops.

The war among transcendent beings ultimately hinges on battles between legends; they might damage the Gunwing Knight Corps or abandon their army and flee, so a preemptive strike is necessary.

No one objected.

"Lei En, Speaker, Lord Lifu Si, the three of you be extra careful," Aimilisi said concernedly.

Lei En nodded.

He brandished a war hammer, opened a teleportation gate and stepped through; Duke Feishe followed, wielding the Thousand River Blade; Kaidejia was enveloped in a flash of light and vanished.

Stepping out of the teleportation gate, Lei En appeared behind the Laobodier forces.

This was a gentle hill strewn with boulders, overlooking the forest and valley below; it lay several miles from Aimilisi, who was guarded by the Scale‑riding Guard, while a retreating Snow Eagle Guard circled overhead, and hundreds of transcendent beings gathered around.

Lei En scanned the scene in a glance; these transcendent beings were overall stronger, clustering around a dozen noble lords, all staring at the battle ahead with panic on their faces.

The most conspicuous was a hulking figure over two meters tall.

He wore fine armor, his breastplate depicting a crowned black stag; he wielded a wheel‑shaped great axe, standing like a mountain of flesh, his face—one and a half times larger than a normal person's—filled with astonishment and fury, as if unable to believe what he saw.

Lei En had seen this man's portrait; he is Prince Dilan Laobodier, the younger brother of King Ma'erk.

For years, Prince Dilan has ruled Windrage Fortress in place of his elder brother.

The Soul Eye shows he is a Legendary High‑rank Giant Deer Warrior, at level seventeen, with physique and strength at an extreme height!

Beside the prince stood a dozen Giant Deer Warriors, presumably his guards, all at High‑rank, including two Legendary Giant Deer Warriors, each massive and bearing heavy weapons.

Among the surrounding lords were also three legends.

The Legendary Mid-stage Eagle Song Hunter previously shot down by an Extreme Warrior was also here, his complexion so gloomy it seemed about to drip water.

They were fiercely debating whether to retreat when the teleportation gate opened and Lei En stepped out; they froze momentarily, then shouted, "Enemy attack! Kill him!"

The Eagle Song Hunter reacted the fastest, instantly drawing his bow and releasing an arrow.

The others scrambled to brandish weapons and charge.

"Roar!"

Lei En opened his mouth and unleashed a "Dragon Roar…

With his power, the roar's force was more terrifying than a true dragon's; the sound wave formed a white shockwave that spread like lightning, first shattering the arrow from the Eagle Song Hunter, then striking all nearby enemies, the draconic might seeping into their minds.

Except for a few legends, the other transcendent beings rolled their eyes, fell to the ground, and blood spurted from their eardrums.

Lei En triggered "Blood Frenzy", his body swelling two layers.

At the same time, he produced an Arcane Torrent Staff; an invisible force field enveloped the area, and the two nearest Legendary Giant Deer Warriors that charged forward were restrained, their speed dropping sharply.

Lei En also initiated a charge, colliding with one of the Giant Deer Warriors.

Boom!

The over‑two‑meter Giant Deer Warrior was crushed as if run over by a steam locomotive, disintegrating instantly; Lei En's war hammer swung effortlessly, smashing the head of the adjacent Legendary Giant Deer Warrior.

Amid the spray of flesh and blood, hundreds of massive lightning bolts erupted.

Lei En's hammer strike exhausted his full strength; the "Thunder Strike" power rose to its limit, the unleashed lightning equaling a Six‑ring Spell, sweeping the entire hill, and the transcendent beings knocked down by the dragon roar were engulfed by lightning, instantly suffering over half casualties.

In a glance, the Laobodier family's lordly forces were almost entirely wiped out, leaving only a few legends.

Lei En brandished his war hammer for another charge, rushing straight at the raging Prince Dilan.

This Legendary High‑rank Giant Deer Warrior had extremely strong resistance; not only withstood the lightning, but using its own strength broke free from the "Stasis Field", let out a roar, its eyes blood‑shot, wind swirling at its feet, swinging a dazzling axe taller than a grown man's, fearlessly charging at the blood‑soaked Lei En.

At the same time, the legendary Eagle Song hunter performed a backflip, retreated beyond the force field, drew the bowstring, and consecutively shot seven light arrows.
