Chapter 470 - 344: Unstoppable Might, Fame Across the Army! (Two-in-One)

At this moment, an elder suddenly descended in front of the two military arrays.

"Everyone, I must emphasize one point: the purpose of this confrontation between the two armies is to review combat strength, not actual battlefield slaughter. Anyone who harms maliciously will not be spared by the Military Department, remember this."

The elder gave a brief reminder, his voice rolling like waves, clearly reaching the ears of every soldier, and then he flew away again.

His departure was also the signal to commence battle.

The air suddenly froze, terrifying energy fluctuations converging and surging on the battlefield, chilling to the bone.

In the distance, the sound of war drums suddenly became urgent.

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

Thousands of roars exploded over the plain.

No unnecessary preliminaries, nor probing between each other, a real battlefield slaughter erupted immediately.

"Follow me!" Song Changming shouted loudly, striding forward.

Behind him, Rongjiang followed closely with a large flag, flanked by three deputy generals.

The large flag has the effect of stabilizing the military’s morale, representing the commander, as long as the battle flag does not fall, the morale will not diminish, it is quite important on the battlefield.

Then, ten centurions with their respective hundred-man squads formed ten hundred man Battle Arrays, also following Song Changming’s pace, advancing forward.

The twelve battalions subsequently dispersed, advancing according to the assigned tasks.

The two armies closed in like dark masses, Song Changming’s steps, from striding to gradually sprinting, getting faster and faster, as if the entire troop transformed into a war machine, starting to accelerate its operation!

The central army had already engaged first, the collision of thousands of Sword Qi and Spear Qi creating booming sounds that drowned out all other noises.

After just a single round of assault, brief contact, casualties already occurred.

Continuously, talisman stones on soldiers shattered, forcing them to withdraw their weapons and quickly retreat from the main battlefield.

"Huh!" Many Grand Marshals observed the battlefield on the plain, initially thinking that the ranking difference in combat strength between the two armies was too vast, surely Wang Tianshuang’s 41st Army would struggle to withstand the Fifth Army’s charge.

Very likely, at first contact, the frontline would become precarious.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected. Although the 41st Army’s frontline troops were still somewhat at a disadvantage, the battle line was not breached, and the battle array held steady, showing no signs of collapse.

On the throne, Prince Cui’s eyes lit up slightly.

"What was the rank of the 41st Army last time?"

A Prince’s Mansion official immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Great King, it was ranked twenty-seventh among all armies, mid-level in combat strength."

After the official spoke, he paused and added, "The Fifth Army was ranked eighth among all armies."

"Hmm, not bad." Prince Cui nodded, only focusing more intently, watching the subsequent performance of the 41st Army on the battlefield below.

In the field, thousands of soldiers in the central army turned into a group battle meat grinder, grinding away each other’s forces.

The 41st Army retreated step by step, while the opponent pressed forward relentlessly.

Song Changming outflanked from the side, but soon also got pursued and attacked by a squad of the opposing troops.

"Engage!" Song Changming had no intention of retreating, charging headlong into the opponent.

Within his body, four martial veins released deep Innate Qi Aura, which, as he activated his Innate Skill, instantly transformed into streaks of Purple Gold Fire, hovering outside his body, making him appear as if Fire God had descended.

Meanwhile, the Purple Gold Fire also protected his ’Blood Bar.’

In truth, regarding this ’Blood Bar’ rule, it was quite disadvantageous for Song Changming.

His entire combat power lies in his invincible physical prowess.

But now, constrained by this Blood Bar, his powerful physical body beneath the Blood Bar was greatly restricted.

Some attacks that originally wouldn’t harm his body in the slightest, not even worth a glance, now due to the layer of Blood Bar on the surface, he had to evade.

In this regard, Song Changming could understand, without much meaningless grievance.

After all, the existence of the ’Blood Bar’ is also to prevent excessive injuries and fatalities during military drills, which would be a loss for the Military Department.

In the world, there is no such thing as absolute perfect fairness, and this is not a battlefield where they need to give their all.

"Let me meet you!"

Seeing Song Changming charging at the forefront, donning Main General Battle Armor, his identity was self-evident.

Soon, he also attracted the opponent’s main general, who swept forward along the ground directly.

Song Changming focused his eyes, seeing the opponent was also a main general, looking rather young, wielding an Ink Blade similar to Song Changming’s.

In a few blinks, he was in front of Song Changming.

Buzz!

On the battlefield, long knives sliced through with a pitch-black sheen, colliding heavily.

The Knife Qi unleashed from the opponent’s long knife seemed to transform into a massive Ink Beast, attempting to devour everything of Song Changming.

Yet, the next moment, the massive Ink Beast was struck and immediately disintegrated.

The main general of the Fifth Army, along with his knife, was struck by Song Changming and flew backward messily into the following troops.

Feeling the Blood Bar on his surface flickering, the main general grimaced, with just that single hit, he almost ’died in battle.’

Song Changming hefted the Ink Blade in his hand, feeling it a bit light, not as handy as his Changshou Saber.

Fortunately, although the blade was blunt, it was exceptionally resilient and could still be used.

Though temporarily unable to utilize his powerful physique, or the twenty Armor Seals he cultivated, he could still exert his full strength.

The Power of Seven Dragons combined with this stroke, made the resulting destructive force truly capable of instantaneously slaying a main general in the army.
