Chapter 197 ·The troops are approaching the city

The Theban army did not attack.

They hid behind the city wall, changing the calmness and confidence they had shown in the previous few days - the bravest warrior among them stood behind the wall, his legs shaking uncontrollably. And more cowards huddled in a ball, shivering, begging and praying to the gods.

This should be the last day.

This should also be the day five thousand years ago when the Scorpion Emperor returned from the Amshe Oasis with the Death Army and came to the gates of Thebes for the second time.

The city will be taken today, whether these warriors can muster the courage or not. Their fate will be to be executed by Anubis's army of death.

Under the city, an army of black jackal-headed monsters stood like a forest.

They are quiet, cold, and wear armor and weapons made of gold. Their array was neat and tight, and the dark arrogance that seemed to have materialized gathered into a gloomy cloud over the tens of thousands of legions.

There is more than just a parameter gap between eight times and ten times.

Today's Death Army, perhaps every individual has C-level, or even close to CC-level enhanced combat effectiveness.

And the Scorpion Emperor stood in the center of the silent Death Army—he was still wearing the same set of scorpion-shaped armor. A shield in one hand and a curved sword in the other. His body does not appear the scorpion phenomenon in his final form in the movie. However, the Anubis power that overflowed from his body had turned into blazing red light dancing from his eyes.

Judging from the momentum, his combat power at this moment may be roughly the same as Ammanet, the last three in the world, controlled by Seth. If the reincarnators were not suppressed by the Lord God and the rules of Anubis. Then the final outcome of this battle will not be as difficult to know as it is now.

The enemy is strong and we are weak - but not necessarily invincible.

And in the silence of the Death Army and the trembling of the Thebes defenders. From the mouth of the Scorpion Emperor, a roar that was no different from the first one came out.

"People of Thebes! Surrender or be destroyed!" His voice was the same as before.

However, no one in the Thebes defenders dared to respond to him.

"Get ready to fight, everyone." Jiang Yu pressed his palm on the Spear of Judgment. "The probability of winning head-on is very low. Only by dragging it into street fighting and relying on terrain and props to intercept layer by layer can we effectively delay the advancement of the Death Army. At the same time, we must put as much blocking power into the Scorpions as possible On the emperor... The Thebes army can no longer withstand the attack of the Death Army. We have to deal with the Scorpion Emperor first before the Death Army rushes into the central temple."

Simple and straightforward plan - the reincarnators had no expression of dissent. After Chu Xuan entered the inner hall of the great temple, he sealed the doors and windows of the temple, and no information has been released so far. Zhang Jie was entrusted by him to station at the entrance of the temple - and took Li Shuaixi with him, who was not actually entrusted with the important task by Chu Xuan.

Others may not know what Chu Xuan is up to, but Jiang Yu trusts Chu Xuan and knows that this guy will definitely be active on this battlefield in some unexpected form. And since this is the case, then his specific whereabouts do not need to be considered too much.

Jiang Yu trusted Chu Xuan, so she didn't ask.

The others trusted Jiang Yu, so they didn't say much.

Zhan Lan also stayed near the Great Temple, but was stationed in a side hall. After several days of adjustment and adaptation, her spiritual link was able to connect with each of her companions again.

Then, there are five people on the front line of the war - Jiang Yu, Xia, Zheng Zha, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Yingkong.

Zero point has found the most suitable commanding height. Even if he can no longer open the point and line magic eye, he is still a powerful sniper. Although Mou Gang cannot complete the transformation of an aerial fighter plane, he can still serve as a firepower fort, and with the Cybertronian multi-threaded thinking power that has been suppressed but cannot be deprived of restoration, he can control the inexhaustible weapons prepared by Chu Xuan. Man-machine war sequence.

The configuration is not bad.

So--

"Wait for the Scorpion King to come in, or should we stop him at the foot of the city wall as much as possible?" Zheng Zha exhaled softly, his breath carrying a faint heat. There is a reagent hidden in his arms.

Blood reagent - a by-product of research and development prepared by Chu Xuan before entering the Pyramid of Anubis based on the Golden Cup of the Blood Clan. It cannot help Zheng Zha reach the realm of Duke in one step, but it can be used as an amplifying agent to temporarily improve Zheng Zha's parameters as a vampire, battery life, and the final combined combat effectiveness.

The reincarnators are fully prepared for the possible weakening they may encounter. Not only Zheng Zha, but also several others have similar means at hand. Of course, the corresponding side effects will not disappear, and soon, it may be the time when they should be used.

"If it can be solved outside, do it outside." Jiang Yu made a decision. He talks about solving, not blocking. "If...we are the only ones who can fight."

The words fell to the ground.

At this time, the tactical configuration of the reincarnations was once again confirmed and complete. Under the city of Thebes, the Scorpion Emperor, leading the army, may also feel that he has given the Thebans enough time to think about it.

The Thebans responded with no response.

The champion of Anubis will naturally only swing the recurve sword in his hand.

"Attack," he said.

So, that's how it all started.

The silent Death Army lowered their bodies and launched a tidal wave charge towards the city of Thebes. Their strength, speed, and subsequent jumping ability are enough for them to directly cross the towering city wall. The only strategy that the reincarnations can make is——

"Fire."

Jiang Yu gave the order, and Mou Gang took action.

Hundreds of semi-autonomous drones located in various directions on the city wall spit out dazzling firelight at the same time. Projecting all the power that is not limited by the operating mechanism of this world - it is the cursed beam cannon disassembled from the later Jungle Guardian. They opened fire with all their strength the moment the Death Legion charged, throwing a blue stream of light into the center of the battlefield, followed by a series of violent explosions.

‘Boom—! ! ’

Big impact, big fire.

The legions of Anubis are protected by divine power. To kill them, either cut off their heads. Or their bodies below the neck will be directly exploded into slag. The reincarnations chose the latter, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of the Death Army turned into fragments, and then disintegrated into black smoke and sand!

They didn't hesitate - they kept going.

Then——the second wave of blocking will arrive immediately.

- Detonate gravity mines.

Under the city wall, the Samsaras calculated the most suitable location for jumping and laid mines on the position before sunrise. When they took effect, the large gravity anomaly area forcibly broke and pulled down these fast-charging Death Army soldiers. And accompanied by the cursed light cannon projected from the semi-autonomous drone, it bombed the heads of these Death Army soldiers on time.

They cannot resist - they can only be shattered by the bombardment.

But even so...what's the harm?

Hundreds, thousands...even two thousand Death Army soldiers died. The remaining troops still have about ten times the weight of the losers. The successors stepped over the wreckage of the losers without hesitation. They waved their gold-decorated military uniforms and filled the battlefield with such sheer numbers.

The first Death Army soldier scaled the walls of Thebes.

It was torn apart in an instant under the light blade projected by the nearest semi-autonomous drone - it was also a magical weapon disassembled from the jungle guardian.

Whoever gets there first dies.

But after the first climber, there will be a second climber, a third, a fourth - up to the hundredth, the thousandth. If possible, tens of thousands may not be impossible.

They are huge in number and fearless of death. This is the power of the monster army.

And soon, the first semi-autonomous drone was chopped into pieces by the soldiers of the Death Army.

The guards of Thebes were not of any use in this battle.

……………………

——As expected.

——I originally thought that the defenders of Thebes could at least provide some help in this final battle. But he didn't expect... they couldn't even delay it for a second.

--In this case……

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. He didn't want to do this. He thought that just like the Gravekeeper Order in the movie was able to withstand the first wave of the Death Army's offensive and completely annihilate the opponent, the Theban Army five thousand years ago could at least provide some assistance.

But they didn't - they lost morale, they lost their fighting spirit. Even though he still had some ability to resist, he was quickly killed by the swarming Death Army - the King of Thebes was already dead, and none of the guards around him were intact. Screams, begging for mercy, and desperate cries came one after another. The only thing missing was the roaring roar of resistance.

They serve no purpose - don't even think about it, it's Anubis' little trick. Because this is its domain, it can be 'fine-tuned' in many ambiguous places.

This is still fair, because this tests the strength of the reincarnations. Rather than the strength of the Thebes army. Reducing external variables is not blowing a black whistle.

Then, the process of making the best use of things can only be done by reincarnators.

——Let’s do it.

In the spiritual link, Jiang Yu sent out a signal.

And at the next moment, blazing fire burst out from every block and every large house!

Fire burns down the city.

This is not Cairo. After a few days of experience, the reincarnations of the Central Continent team knew that all living things were false - at the same moment when a large number of Death Army soldiers were turned into ashes in the high temperature and flames. The entire line of semi-autonomous drones that had been equipped with fire prevention equipment in advance retreated into the center of the boiling fire.

The Reaper's Army is still charging - they are not a normal army. Even if they need to pass through the flames, they will still keep their eyes on the target they must reach.

And at the same moment——

——Teleport.
