Chapter 1069: Chapter 720: Conquest

That moment, all the people of Xuan City looked up to the sky, listening to the command that signalled humanity’s counterattack, the steel meteor that tore through despair!

The Great Tang Expeditionary Army had arrived!

If this had been two quarters of an hour earlier, the people of Xuan City might still have been filled with anger and disgust towards the Great Tang, seeing them as wicked invaders.

But now, upon seeing this group of soldiers, the people of Xuan City erupted in battle cries of unrestrained joy.

Some wept with overwhelming happiness, some waved their weapons towards the sky, while others muttered the name of General Li Ba.

In mid-air, swathes of armored warriors descended from above, transforming into the most powerful manifestation of human rage and retaliation.

Crashing heavily into the ranks of the aliens.

These armored warriors slaughtered the enemies of mankind, all aliens, with the most brutal violence!

An army founded for the sole purpose of defeating the insect god, after being sealed away for thirty years, they had finally awaited their general, their command!

They were even more gigantic in size, nearly five meters tall.

Compared to regular armored warriors, their heavy, bloated lower limbs made them noticeably less agile, but they possessed an unimaginable level of defense and strength.

As their rear buffering devices brought them to the ground, the slaughter of the aliens began!

Each of these enormous armored warriors was equipped with terrifyingly large weapons. Dual-bladed chain saw battle axes, massive siege crossbow charges.

Every time a gigantic armored warrior crashed into a pile of aliens, it would stir up a brutal storm of blood and flesh. The heavy footsteps crushed the stone pavement beneath them; the swing of the massive battle axe left behind a trail of alien carcasses.

The survivors from all over the outer district of Xuan City also rushed from their shelters, fighting shoulder to shoulder with this band of iron giants.

In a small alley on the western side of the city, Wu Jie, the sole commander of the Thousand Cattle Guard battle group,

was already covered in blood. His helmet had long been knocked off, and his abdomen had been pierced by the tail spike of an alien.

He was gravely wounded by an alien over five meters tall that had launched a surprise attack from underground, killing three Auxiliary Army soldiers and one armored warrior before it turned around and impaled Wu Jie’s abdomen.

If it wasn’t for Qiu Wentian’s timely support, who hugged the alien’s neck and, with incredible strength, tore off its head,

The Thousand Cattle Guard battle group might have been completely annihilated.

At that moment, looking at the hot air balloon army in the sky, Wu Jie also let out a laugh of excitement, "Hahaha! The aerial support squadron! You even brought the Empress-class armored warriors, you old dogs, finally willing to come out?"

"Yo~~ Isn’t that Wu Jie? Looking so ragged after thirty years?" one of the regular-sized armored warriors who was dropping down seemed to have noticed him and laughed in response, "The leader of the Thousand Cattle Guard is now just you. Why not merge with our Right Brave Guard? Let us also share in General Li Ba’s glory!"

General Li Ba started his career with the Thousand Cattle Guard and had even served as the commander of the Thousand Cattle Guard battle group, which is why the Thousand Cattle Guard was also considered as his personal army.

Especially after General Li Ba established the Chenhai Capital Protectorate of Great Tang, the rest of the battle groups within the Expeditionary Army were quite jealous of the Thousand Cattle Guard’s behavior, likening it to occupying a pit without defecating.

With so few of you left in the Thousand Cattle Guard, isn’t merging with us an attractive option?

There was even a thought to knock Wu Jie unconscious, to abduct and force a merge.

"Scram, scram, scram!" Wu Jie laughed and cursed but then saw the soldier who had spoken to him get hit by a flying alien in mid-air, and with swearing and cursing, he crashed into a building, his fate unknown.

"What are those?" Chen Yu asked, handing Wu Jie a cup of High-Efficiency Healing Liquid.

She was also in a sorry state, her Great Wall Windbreaker covered in bloodstains, and the hair that had been neatly arranged that morning was now clotted with blood.

Facing the aliens with the hivemind consciousness, she couldn’t use her specialty, psychic power, to attack them.

All she could do was take out her sniper rifle and clean out the aliens. But with the overwhelming number of enemies, it was inevitable that some would get close, pressing her into a tight spot. This was a constraint the insect god had put her under.

The will of the insect god’s swarm could be called the nightmare of all those who primarily rely on psychic powers.

And the most dangerous moment came when an alien burst out of the shadows, its tail sting nearly piercing into her chest.

Well, of course... if it had been Qiu Wentian, that move wouldn’t have even touched him.

Realizing this, an infuriated Qiu Wentian kicked the head off the alien that attacked her. The people of Xuan City and the Great Tang soldiers almost popped their eyes out at the sight.

Still miffed, Qiu Wentian turned around and randomly scratched at Chen Yu before huffily going back to dealing with the aliens. Probably to blow off some steam...

"To answer your question, those are Empress-class armors," Wu Jie replied after drinking the High-Efficiency Healing Liquid, "They are named by His Majesty in memory of Empress Changsun. The warriors inside are often the ones who’ve sustained fatal injuries and need the armor to sustain their lives. In this way, they fight for Great Tang once again, battling the aliens!"

"That’s quite inhumane," Chen Yu said.

"Indeed... But every warrior in the Empress-class armor volunteered, at least they did at the time... They wished to die on the battlefield," Wu Jie said with a grin. "I feel the same way!"

Just then, a parachuting armor-clad soldier approached Chen Yu and shouted, "The main force has started the breakthrough, clearing aliens on the bridge. Where is General Li Ba?"

"In the Inner city, face to face with the Queen of Xuan City and the insect god!" Chen Yu immediately replied. "Forget the bridge, advance from the water surface!"

"The water surface? But it’s crawling with aliens, our navy can’t get through!" The armored soldier thought the young lady’s command was highly questionable.

But considering she was a good friend of General Li Ba... he didn’t dare to be too critical.

Xuan City was easy to defend but hard to attack because the huge inland lake was Xuan City’s moat. And the only way in was that bridge. Crossing it meant facing the danger of underwater aliens. Not to mention advancing from the water’s surface, where would they even find the boats at this time?

"Don’t worry, your General’s lady has sent a gift for your arrival," Chen Yu said with a smile.

The armored soldier was taken aback, then saw a six-pointed star flash in the direction of the Inner city.

At the same time, a thick layer of ice formed on the water near the bridge.

The aliens preparing to assault the bridge from underneath were dumbstruck; they simply couldn’t penetrate the several-meters-thick solid ice quickly.

The members of the Expeditionary Army, after a few seconds of astonishment, laughed heartily as they rushed onto the ice, surging toward Xuan City.

Elsewhere, Li Changhe was unstoppable along the way.

With the Mythical State enabled, his defense was exasperating. Besides the Priestess of Summer, he all but ignored every other attack.

In Li Changhe’s own words, the ease with which he moved was such that he could even take out a pan and casually make caramel while charging forward.

(I’ve been quite busy recently... sorry about that... it’ll be over soon, please don’t be mad... after all, I am Chang)
