Bang!
A massive halberd landed on the mountain, this simple action seeming to carry with it an enormous power. Even Longqinba had to raise an eyebrow.
”Longqinba, we meet again.”
A low voice came from up the mountain. That person's hair flapped in the wind, and his face, which seemed to be chiseled from stone, was embedded with two eyes that seemed as deep as the sea.
”Sun Liuyue!”
Longqinba's expression sank as he halted his steps.
This person was dressed in an armor completely different from the rest of the Annan Protectorate army. It was simple and thick, with nothing special about it besides its weight.
In truth, this person was not a member of the Annan Protectorate army.
Wang Yan had several generals under his command different from regular generals. They had no rank or title, but their status in the army was above even Chen Shusun.
Sun Liuyue was one of these generals. He was not only one of Wang Yan's personal guards, but also a retainer of the Wang Clan. Back when Wang Yan entered the army, the patriarch of the Wang Clan, Duke Jiu, had arranged for Sun Liuyue to be at Wang Yan's side.
These people were all experts that had been selected from the best soldiers, and they rarely left Wang Yan's side. They were like his shadow.
When Wang Yan was not present, they could substitute for him and oversee the entire army to deal with any sudden surprises.
During the siege of Lion City, Longqinba had been nigh unstoppable. Only Sun Liuyue had been able to check his brash assault.
”Annoying fool!”
Longqinba's eyes narrowed as he instantly charged forward, scimitar swinging. The moment he charged forward, a light flashed, and a massive shadow that seemed like a demonic god appeared behind him.
……
”It's finally my turn.”
While the two armies were engaged in their bitter clash, a short yet valiant figure appeared at the back of the mountain. Tumi Sangzha looked up at that waterfall of caltrops descending from the summit, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
Boom!
With a thought, Tumi Sangzha suddenly stomped forward, and an invisible ripple spread out from his feet.
The scene on the mountain slope suddenly changed. Hundreds of metal men stood up from the waterfall of caltrops and swiftly began to clean up their surroundings.
Bangbangbang! These metal men picked up caltrop after caltrop and threw them down the mountain, working with incredible speed.
Buzz!
Tumi Sangzha looked around, his eyes quickly locking onto two nearby metal walls. His fingers spread apart as he began his summoning.
”Rise for me!”
Roar!
The two metal walls began to twist and roar. Two metal giants rose up like prehistoric beasts and began to crawl up the mountain.
With these two metal giants, the clean-up proceeded even more quickly.
”Once this path is cleared up, it will serve as the best place for the cavalry to charge up!”
Tumi Sangzha grimly laughed as he looked up the mountain. With both sides engaged in battle, now was the best opportunity to clean up the caltrops. The Great Minister's plan was not merely to defeat them in a head-on confrontation on the battlefield.
Leaving the metal men to their task, Tumi Sangzha began to quickly make his way up the mountain.
……
This was a battle of unprecedented scale. Purely in terms of military strength, it far surpassed any previous battle. The dense ranks of the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army crashed forward like giant waves.
The one hundred thousand soldiers of the Whitestone Corps had once madly assailed this summit, but the number of soldiers this time was even greater than that.
Each soldier of the Annan Protectorate army was under incredible pressure. The outermost soldiers might have been equipped with large shields, but these shields were trembling like drops of water, the fast and furious attacks almost causing their bones to shatter.
Besides this, the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army were also clearing up the metal walls, slowly shrinking the space in which the Annan Protectorate army could operate. The situation was turning more and more against the Tang.
”It's about time.”
Wang Chong looked down from the summit at the battlefield. Although the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army was proceeding with a vicious momentum, everything was still under his control.
Boom!
