Chapter 1639 Breakthrough
Outside the imperial city, five days of hard fighting left both sides physically and mentally exhausted.
I thought it was an almost successful battle, but who could have expected that things would turn into the current situation in the end.
If the normal script is followed, the Imperial City is indeed not enough to compete with the coalition of the Elemental Kingdom and the Evil God.
But the problem is that Xiao Tianyang can use too many props on a small-scale battlefield.
The Elemental Nations lost four nobles on this point alone, and almost lost a prince.
There was a large-scale melee on the front line, with at least three or four legions of troops on our side.
But adding up the front and back, the cannon fodder legion is the strongest.
At least until now, Yue Fei has never seen the opponent's cannon fodder army number less than one million.
After each battle, the elemental soldiers on the opposite side fill in the original vacancies as if they were free of charge.
It has always been maintained at the number of millions, never more than one, and never less than one.
There are two types of war props: one is against the enemy, and the other is against me.
What Xiao Tianyang has used before is the large-scale gain buff.
But at that time there was only the Shenwu Legion, so the power of the props was quite considerable when shared among everyone.
What now?
There are often 10,000+ people attending.
Even if Xiao Tianyang had powerful props, he would not be able to provide such a large amount of energy to buff everyone.
As for the enemy, let alone that.
Weakening is also calculated based on the enemy's strength level.
In the past, both sides were at the same level, and the conditions for war props were not so harsh.
It's different now.
Whether it is the elemental kingdom that is currently attacking fiercely, or the evil god with a strange form.
Their average strength far exceeds Douluo Continent itself.
Even if Xiao Tianyang possesses top combat power such as Bibi Dong, he still cannot fill the gap in background between the two.
To put it simply, the gain-type war props depend on the basics of the props.
Negative war props look at the gap between ourselves and the enemy.
The former is a problem with the prop itself and is difficult to improve.
The latter can weaken the enemy through its own strength improvement.
However, when using props on the current battlefield, there are no above restrictions.
First, there are not many people.
Second, the average level of one's side is not far different from that of the other side.
Of course, level does not equal combat power.
Nowadays, there are not many people left in the imperial city who can directly participate in the war outside the city, and they are divided into four categories.
The first type is the generals who have returned from the God Realm.
The second type is the ancestor-level figures of major families.
The third type is the past deans, professors and mentors of Shenwu Academy.
The third type of former Shenwu executives are now officials holding important positions in the court.
Individually, they are very powerful.
Even the ancestors of a big family are no exception.
But if you regard them as regular military envoys, then there is no need.
The battlefield is different from the arena, and individual strength cannot play a key role.
Otherwise, even if the Thunder Legion is not pushed back, the city's strength is enough to cope with the current situation.
It's just that individuals are individuals and cannot be compared with the legion system.
This is especially true when the opponent also comes up with a corresponding lineup.
The only role they play now is to hold back the opponent's top combat power.
As for the battlefield below... they really wanted to come up with something, but unfortunately, it was difficult to find an entry point.
Of course, neither side achieved any results in this battle.
The purpose of Yuwen Chengdu and others is to delay time.
On the other side, there was nothing that could be done because of the internal situation in the imperial city.
However, neither Fire King nor Bengardi had any intention of truly attacking the city.
First of all, regardless of whether they can succeed, the initial investment alone may make them unable to cope with the subsequent situation.
If there was no Xiao Tianyang, then they wouldn't mind giving it a try.
But the forward was frustrated, Xiao Tianyang temporarily 'proved' and broke through, and they completely lost interest in attacking the city.
Just like Bingpotian said.
Their only chance now is to wait for Xiao Tianyang's breakthrough to end, and then challenge him head-on.
As long as the other party agrees, then they have room for maneuver.
In this case, the current stalemate is not unacceptable.
Besides, those war props are disgusting enough.
Just the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak has gone up several levels, and it cannot be dispelled at all.
Haven't you seen that the Fire Lord's side lost all their troops even if they didn't want to fight?
Based on this record alone, the power of the props Xiao Tianyang brought out was evident.
If it hadn't been useless on the frontal battlefield, the Tianwu Dynasty wouldn't have been beaten from both ends.
However, today is a little different from usual.
The two sides who were supposed to fight outside the city actually chose to stop.
It was an armistice without any discussion, notice, or warning.
If both sides were not planning a deadly move, the war would have reached a turning point.
Looking at the entire battlefield, Xiao Tianyang is the only one who can truly be called a turning point.
click!
Standing in the imperial city, the six-day-long beam of light suddenly shattered!
Xiao Tianyang walked out slowly, his feet floating in the air, but he was walking on flat ground.
He raised his right hand and equipped it with the [Infinity Gauntlet].
The fragments of golden light that were frozen around him seemed to be pulled, forming a torrent and quickly pouring into his palm.
It may only take a second or two for the fragments to turn into balls of light.
However, Xiao Tianyang clenched his right hand at this moment and crushed the ball of light.
The black dragon robe with gold patterns on his body suddenly swallowed up the golden powder like a gluttonous beast.
The dragon patterns on it became more charming, and the dragon eyes revealed an indescribable majesty.
The next moment, Xiao Tianyang suddenly broke away from the shackles.
That force formed an air current and rolled upwards, and his own realm was also improving step by step.
It wasn't until his level reached a certain critical point that the breakthrough like a volcanic eruption came to an end.
At the same time, two figures appeared in mid-air, one from the south and one from the north, facing Xiao Tianyang from afar.
"Xiao Tianyang, come out and fight!"
The Fire King had no foreshadowing, no nonsense, and declared war directly.
Anyone can say nice things.
But the key is who to tell it to?
The soldiers of the Elemental Kingdom are trained to be war machines and have little to no emotion.
The Apostles of the Evil God are another group of monsters with only madness and killing in their heads.
As for the Tianwu Dynasty, they are Xiao Tianyang's staunchest defenders, and their will has never wavered.
All in all, any words seem pale and feeble nowadays.
As long as Xiao Tianyang agrees, the opinions and views of the people around him can be ignored.
But to be honest, when Xiao Tianyang heard that King Fire declared war on him, he was a little unbelievable.
If the battle takes place on the front line, it is not impossible for him to understand if the other party wants to fight.
The problem is that he is in his own territory now. How can the Fire King find the confidence to fight with him?
Of course, his thoughts quickly changed.
"She probably thought I was easy to bully when I just broke through, so she declared war on me."
A dangerous smile appeared on Xiao Tianyang's face.
"As you wish!"
He raised his feet and stepped forward, ripples of energy emanating from the guessed areas under his feet.
At the same moment, he raised his right hand, pointed his palm in the direction of the back garden, and closed his fingers.
A golden light rushed out from the [Ancient Tree of Life], leaving a brilliant tail flame in mid-air.
Keng!
The crisp buzz of gold and iron sounded, and the souls of the people in the city couldn't help but tremble.
Madam Mingzhu stood in the square in front of Shenwu Palace and whispered: "That should be [Endless Blade]..."
"But didn't he say that he couldn't use the full power of this weapon?"
