Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Catch the thief by first catching the king_1
"How is this possible!"
Wei Sh saw how Chu Yuan beheaded the eagle hawk, a mighty beast of the sixth Divine Realm, with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. This beast possessed infinite mana; ev amidst an ambush, ev he, a sevth-level Divine Realm expert, couldn\'t have accomplished such a feat.
"Wei Sh, you did very well."
Chu Yuan\'s indiffert voice reached Wei Sh\'s ears.
"Protecting your Majesty is my duty!"
Wei Sh felt his back soak with sweat.
"Drive away the beast wave, do not let them get close to escaping from the Great Beast Mountain Range!"
Upon witnessing Chu Yuan\'s terrifying strgth, Wan Lianji\'s face also changed color. Although he wasn\'t part of the Grand Marshal\'s faction, as the holder of military power, he hadn\'t paid much atttion to Chu Yuan.
However, today\'s sce gave him much to think about.
Betwe the Poverty Battalion and the Divine Warrior Group, a wall formed by more than a hundred thousand soldiers was set up once again.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Inside the beast wave, there was another disturbance, and they didn\'t retreat because of it. The beast wave was well prepared by the large monsters, and an unknown number of savage beasts were assembled from within the Great Beast Mountain Range.
Packed together so dsely that it was impossible to see where they ded.
Chu Yuan oped his Devouring Eye, and countless rays of light converged. At the heart of the beast wave, he saw a Thunder Dragon that was fifty feet long, and its body was tirely purple with one pair of sharp horns on its head.
Purple Thunder Dragon, a ninth-level Divine Realm beast, contained dragon\'s bloodline, and its power was comparable with that of the tth-level Divine Realm!
As the Purple Thunder Dragon stirred up a storm and released its Dragon\'s Prestige, it commanded countless savage beasts to fight on, and ev the large beasts couldn\'t free themselves from the fear induced by that Prestige.
"I\'m late to protect you, and I ask for your Majesty\'s forgivess!"
However, wh the Forbidd Army of the Poverty Battalion had difficulty resisting the beast wave, crowds of hundreds of thousands of soldiers wearing Forbidd Army armor, led by various gerals, began to gather from afar.
The Taotie, Hundun, and Taowu Battalions have arrived!
The four Savage Beast Battalions had be stationed at the foot of the Great Beast Mountain, so it was not surprising that they could come so fast.
"Minister Hong Yun bows to his Majesty!"
An incredibly tall and strong middle-aged man walked up to Chu Yuan, and although he spoke respectfully, he did not perform a formal salute and only slightly bt his body.
This man was Hong Yun, the commander of the Hundun Battalion!
Among the four Savage Beast Battalions, the Hundun Battalion was the strongest.
Hong Yun was a tth-level Divine Realm expert and ranked first in strgth among the ringleaders of the Savage Beast Battalions. He was an extremely unrestrained man, loyal only to the former emperor. In the past, ev Chu Yuan couldn\'t command him.
"Commander Hong is here." Chu Yuan nodded, "Facing millions of beasts, I wonder if Commander Hong has any good strategies."
"Such a fierce beast wave is indeed rare. The four Savage Beast Battalions have a total of five hundred thousand soldiers. Ev if we use a tactic of one soldier against five beasts, it will be difficult to resist such a large number of savage beasts. I suggest building a defsive line, advancing and retreating while fighting, and leading them to the national capital.
We can defd with the hardness of the capital!"
Hong Yun said, "I am willing to fight the rearguard!"
[Option one: Accept Hong Yun\'s suggestion, lead the beast wave to the foot of the Imperial City, gain one hundred Destiny Points, progress Armored Flying Boat Level One blueprint by 0%]
[Option two: Capture the emy\'s leader first, kill the Purple Thunder Dragon, and cause chaos in the beast wave. Gain one hundred Destiny Points, progress Big Gun Level One blueprint by 0%, currt progress is 40%.]
"Commander Hong\'s suggestion is good, but it\'s too conservative. What if the beasts besiege the city? What if we can\'t get out? The four hidd nations will definitely seize this opportunity to attack our border, and at that time, we will face more than just the beast wave."
Chu Yuan surveyed the surings, setting his sights on the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon, "Pass on my orders. The four beast battalions and Zhu Fgfg\'s Forbidd Army are to resist the beast tide within the Mountain Range of T Thousand Beasts.
All officials above the Divine Realm are to strike against the Divine Demons, and the brave and loyal marquis leading thirty thousand martial artists will accompany me to capture and slay the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon and disperse the beast tide."
"As your Majesty commands!"
Hong Yun didn\'t waste words and promptly led the four beast battalions to resist the beast tide.
"Brother Emperor, this is too dangerous!" Chu Xiaoniang expressed her worries with a pale face.
"Don\'t worry, with the brave Marquis here, ev if we fail to kill the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon, I can still retreat safely,"
Chu Yuan\'s imperial edict held a deeper meaning. He could let Hong Yun resist the beast tide, but he didn\'t trust him completely. The ones he trusted most were his thirty thousand martial artist army. With the War Army Chessboard, the vast army could be controlled like his own arm.
"Princess, rest assured, I\'ll protect his Majesty ev at the cost of my life!"
Lu Qianfu pledged solemnly.
In an instant, Chu Yuan took flight first, followed closely by his thirty thousand martial artist army. With the emperor leading the charge, their morale was high. All the beasts they countered along the way were slaughtered, as if they were plowing a pathway.
"Hmm?"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon appeared amused, "The young Emperor of Dawu certainly has courage, daring to capture the king first before the thieves. I can play along and devour your thirty thousand elite martial artists!"
"The Day of Extinction, Thunder descds upon the world, dragons and snakes rise from the land!"
With confidce in its own strgth, the nine-fold Divine abilities of the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon launched a battle. Interweaving ceaseless thunder and lightning, a massive lightning net descded, killing any ordinary soldier immediately.
"Great! Too Great!"
On the other hand, Wei Sh at the rear became excited again.
"Set up the formation, War Field!"
With the help of the War Army Chessboard, Chu Yuan set up a profound war field. As the field\'s master, he sured the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon and launched an attack.
"Great Thunder Technique!"
From afar, Chu Yuan\'s thirty thousand martial artist army appeared like another thunder dragon. As the double dragons contded for supremacy, their overwhelming momtum clashed sharply.
In this blink of an eye, the intse collision was earth-shattering. Countless beasts were electrified to death, but Chu Yuan\'s martial artist army was very powerful. Along with the protection of the war field, their unleashed power forced the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon to retreat furiously.
"What!"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon was astounded!
It never imagined that this thirty thousand strong army could unleash such terrifying power. Stacked together, it was ev more terrifying than itself. Particularly that emperor, the radiating lightning from his body was ev more terrifying than its own purple lightning.
"Thunder of Apocalypse!"
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon let out a huge thunderball from its mouth.
Boom!
Chu Yuan was at the forefront of the army. He directly tered the thunderball, using his own body to resist it. Afterward, the light from the explosion dissipated and he emerged unharmed, leaving the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon in disbelief.
It\'s known that Chu Yuan holds the title of Thunder Controller, not only amplifying his thunder divine abilities, but also granting him immunity to a certain extt from thunder damage.
He dared challge the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon because he held the title of the Thunder Controller.
"Loyal and Brave Marquis, cut off the retreat of the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon. Let\'s sur and kill him!"
The sound of Chu Yuan\'s voice echoed across the battlefield. At his command, his thirty thousand m army firmly trapped the Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon in the middle.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Flood Dragon had underestimated the situation, getting trapped.
"Those who dare to violate Dawu, no matter how far, will be punished!" Chu Yuan roared, "The Majesty of the Imperial Road is inviolable! Kill those who trespass without mercy!"
