Meanwhile, on another battlefield, the Vermilion Bird Guard was steadily retreating. Dozens of enormous demonic beasts devoured everything in their path, proving to be formidable opponents.
Whether it was the black-armored soldiers, the alien races, or the demonic beasts, their strength was extraordinary, enough to rival the Sky Origin City's Imperial Guards.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wenji stood on the platform, watching the hesitant tribal youths, and decided to go down and help.
Jiang Wenji picked up a long spear and leaped towards the enemy ranks.
The long spear brushed past several people's throats, like a silver dragon dancing in the black tide.
Jiang Wen wielded his sword, killing several attacking black-armored soldiers, and then shouted at the tribal youths, "Raise your spears! Advance!"
These tribal youths, driven to desperation, gritted their teeth upon hearing Jiang Wen's words and thrust forward with the long spears in their hands.
"Form ranks! Don't scatter!" Jiang Wen shouted loudly.
After shattering several incoming arrows, he looked at the few people who had been shot dead beside him.
Although there were many black-armored soldiers, Sky Origin City was not to be trifled with. Even though the Vermilion Bird Army was steadily retreating, they still managed to withstand wave after wave of the enemy's fierce attacks.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!" Jiang Wenji took the lead, like a swimming dragon. Even those towering, hundred-foot-tall monsters were no match for a single spear thrust.
"We understand!" Hearing Jiang Wenji's words, the tribal youths, who had been panicked, calmed down.
They followed behind the formation, standing in ranks and resisting the enemy.
The soldiers obeyed orders and acted in unison. Such terrifying quality, combined with Jiang Wen's command,
actually managed to hold a piece of ground within the black-armored soldiers.
Jiang Wen looked at the surrounding situation, his ears filled with screams and the sounds of fighting.
The black-armored soldiers and the soldiers of the Grand Cang were entangled together, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
He looked at the viewing platform not far away, thinking of Xue and Wuji.
"Is it possible to break through to that viewing platform?" Jiang Wen pointed to the viewing platform and said. "Go ask that person what exactly is going on."
Jiang Wenji nodded upon hearing Jiang Wen's words, using her strength to pierce through an attacking black-armored soldier.
People kept falling, and people kept涌来 pouring in.
This kind of war was not a one-man show. A formation formed by thousands of people, even a sage would find it difficult to resist. It was a battle formation that was almost like a formation. It was a meat grinder-like visual sense, with blades and flesh blurring the world.
Jiang Wen followed Jiang Wenji to the high platform.
He strode towards Gao.
"Xue." Jiang Wen called out.
"I'm here." Xue's voice rang out from a corner.
Jiang Wen walked towards her after hearing the voice, only to see her standing on the edge of the high platform.
He couldn't help but find it funny: "Why hold a military formation drill? What is the meaning of this enemy attack? Could it be her idea too?"
"Who exactly attacked the training ground?"
"It's good that you're okay." Xue didn't answer Jiang Wen's question for the time being, but looked at Jiang Wen's blood-stained face, revealing a relaxed smile.
"I'm fine, it's all other people's blood." Jiang Wen wiped away the bloodstains and looked at the dozens of people present. "You should go and rest first."
As he spoke, he calmly assigned the tasks. The tribal youths present had no complaints either.
After all, it was a special moment, and Jiang Wen's performance just now had earned him some reputation among these tribal youths, so his words were still useful.
"What exactly is going on, Xue?" Jiang Wen walked to Xue's side, looking at her with a calm expression. "Why are there suddenly alien races attacking?"
"This matter can be discussed after the war is over. The most important thing now is to repel the enemy," Xue said.
The Imperial Guard soldiers guarding the high platform moved the weapons to the viewing platform and replaced them with more sharp blades.
Subsequently, more and more soldiers from the Grand Cang gathered over, and those black-armored soldiers lost their momentum from before.
For a time, the previously disadvantaged battlefield situation stabilized.
There was even a faint tendency to counterattack.
Jiang Wen looked at the camp across the river, where smoke billowed everywhere and flames soared into the sky.
From time to time, iron cavalry could be seen galloping, and the sounds of fighting were even more intense than here.
"I wonder how it is over there," Jiang Wen sighed softly.
"Your Highness, the surrounding enemy troops have been cleared."
The Vermilion Bird General walked to Xue's side and saluted her.
"What should we do now?"
"Jiang Taixu, what do you think we should do next?" Xue turned her head to look at Jiang Wen and asked after hearing the Vermilion Bird General's words.
"I think this matter should be considered by the commander," Jiang Wen said calmly, looking at Xue. "You are the commander now, what would you do?"
"If that's the case, then quickly eliminate the enemy," Xue said indifferently.
Subsequently, the horns on the high platform sounded, and the Vermilion Bird Army, who were still fighting, surrounded the high platform.
With the waving of the signal flags, the scattered Vermilion Bird Army seemed to have found their direction, no longer fighting meaninglessly.
They attacked or defended according to the flags, and the black-armored soldiers, who had been in the upper hand, were unable to advance any further for a time.
The black-armored soldiers who poured in from outside the training ground were stuck at the bottleneck by the Vermilion Bird Army, unable to enter or exit.
Because of the replenishment of bows and arrows, the black-armored soldiers were suppressed for a time.
"The target of these black-armored soldiers is the other side of the river, so there won't be many black-armored soldiers attacking us here. We need to concentrate our limited forces to fight these people to the death first, and then bypass along this river to support His Majesty the Heavenly King!"
The tribal youths gathered around Xue, looking at the map on the ground, and gained an understanding of the current situation.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wenji leaned over to look, only to see these tribal youths drawing lines of attack on the map, assigning the tasks of attack one by one.
The two found it novel and didn't say anything more. After all, this matter was a good thing for the Grand Cang, at least it exercised these tribal youths who only knew how to enjoy themselves.
Rubbing his shoulders, Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Wenji beside him.
"How long do you think it will take for reinforcements to arrive?"
"At least another half an hour," Jiang Wenji said without thinking. "The garrison of Sky Origin City, the four major Imperial Guards are distributed in all directions, and each驻地 garrison needs at least two hours to support."
"However, our cavalry may be coming soon. If these people who attacked the training ground make no further progress, they will probably have to retreat."
Jiang Wenji calmly stated her views. She had commanded battles for countless years and could easily smell a trace of difference from this inexplicable attack.
"Are you saying that this attack is probably aimed at certain people?" Jiang Wen asked thoughtfully.
"Perhaps it's her?" Jiang Wenji responded.
"If that's really the case, what exactly does she want to do?" Jiang Wen felt puzzled by this attack. Anyone with eyes could see the difference.
Why did Wuji suddenly order a military formation drill, and why did an enemy attack occur during the military formation drill?
Could it be… …
Jiang Wen seemed to have thought of some possibility. He looked at Jiang Wenji and Xue.
"Could it be that, Xue, your plan is not just that? But you want Wuji to do something even more outrageous?"
"For example, breaking the Heavenly King's undefeated legend. Making her lose her prestige?"
"Perhaps, I don't know what she's thinking," Xue sighed softly.
At this moment, a messenger galloped from afar. He came to the three of them and said to Xue in a hurry.
"Reporting to Your Highness! The Heavenly King has been attacked!"
