”There's no time! We can't let them destroy the giant ballistae! Chen Bin, you and I should use the giant ballistae to sweep them away!”

Xu Keyi turned his ashen face toward Chen Bin to his right, his armor clattering as it was battered by the fierce winds.

The giant ballistae were meant to be used against the Arabian Behemoths. Each ballista bolt was extremely precious, and if they were used inefficiently and a Behemoth were not killed, the Behemoth would proceed to inflict massive casualties on the Tang soldiers.

But in the current situation, the pair had no other choice. If the giant ballistae were destroyed, they would truly be left with nothing.

”Mm!”

Chen Bin gave a firm nod as he stood in front of his giant ballista.

”We'll do as you say!”

The two quickly agreed on their plan. Rumble! The giant ballistae originally aimed at the four Behemoths slowly began to turn, their enormous ballista bolts aiming at the two closest Skyquaking Giants.

Boom! Boom!

Two huge ballista bolts, ten-some meters long, shot into the air in explosive shockwaves. The enormous strength of the bolt immediately punched through the dark green shield of a Skyquaking Giant and then through his body, sending the now-dead giant flying through the air. Nearby, the other Skyquaking Giant screamed as he was also killed by a giant ballista bolt.

These Skyquaking Giants were tenacious and sturdy beings, able to singlehandedly vanquish hundreds of soldiers, but they were still incredibly fragile before the dreadful power of the giant ballistae.

Buzz!

In the moment that two Skyquaking Giants were slain by the giant ballistae, the entire battlefield became eerily silent, all the giants staring at the giant ballistae in shock.

The giants all possessed terrifying strength, speed, and dexterity, along with their extremely tough bodies that allowed them to drop down from the sky and emerge unscathed. To their understanding, there was nothing in the world that could defeat them. From the establishment of their army, none of them had ever died in this kind of manner.

But this silence did not persist for long. The earth quickly began to shake as more and more Skyquaking Giants impacted into the army.

The Arabs were continuing to throw the Skyquaking Giants into the Tang formation.

”Kill!”

The Skyquaking Giants rallied, heedlessly charging at the two giant ballistae.

”Release!”

Amidst the howling of the ballista bolts, Chen Bin and Xu Keyi nervously swung their swords down again and again, commanding the giant ballistae against the surrounding Skyquaking Giants.

However, the loading times of the giant ballistae were a fatal weakness, and the Skyquaking Giants were getting closer and closer.

And this was not even the worst part of the situation. As the Skyquaking Army continued to descend from the sky, encroaching upon the giant ballistae and throwing the Tang formation into chaos, the four enormous Behemoths were still approaching, now less than one thousand zhang from the first defense line.

Behind the Behemoths, the two hundred thousand Arab soldiers were surging forward like an avalanche.

Beset by enemies from both within and without, the Tang army was in an unprecedented predicament.

”Li Siye!”

A young and calm voice resounded over the army. This voice seemed to possess a unique charm that made one instinctively trust in it, and it immediately calmed down the army.

At the front of the defense line, Wang Chong had taken in everything that was happening, and though he seemed calm on the surface, his mind was in a state of complete turmoil, an invisible pressure battering at him from all sides.

Only Wang Chong understood just how enormous this pressure was, but he could not show the tiniest bit of strain.

”Lead all the Wushang Cavalry in defense and kill off all the Skyquaking Giants… This is your mission!”

”This general will go!”

Li Siye hardened his resolved and immediately rode away, charging toward the Skyquaking Giants.

”Everyone, follow me!”

Gallop! The five thousand Wushang Cavalry rode off without a single word, following behind Li Siye like the guards of the god of death.

”One hundred men to a group! Disperse!”
