”Gangke King, you protect the giant ballista. I'll deal with this giant!”
Flames seethed across the battlefield, Banahan's loud voice emerging from within the sea of fire. Ghareeb Hassam's Stellar Energy was imbued with the energy of fire and was extremely tyrannical. On the other end, Banahan's Great Fire Crow Art was a renowned fire technique of the Western Regions, and after receiving Wang Chong's pointers, Banahan had gotten even stronger. He was probably the only one who could fight blow-for-blow in fire arts against the King of Giants.
”Okay!”
The Gangke King's eyes flashed as he immediately charged to the second giant ballista. The conflict between these two was too fierce, and there was a chance that a stray shot could hit the giant ballista. He had to move it away from this area as soon as possible. And if it was possible, he would also use the giant ballista to help Banahan against the King of Giants.
But the crisis was far from over. The giants in the surroundings all roared as they began to charge toward the giant ballista. Even Ghareeb Hassam, embroiled in his battle with Banahan, was still trying to make his way around and destroy the giant ballista. The Gangke King needed to place his full attention on protecting the Great Tang's last hope.
Meanwhile, at the first defense line, the situation Wang Chong was facing was even more perilous than the one the Gangke King and Banahan were dealing with.
Rumble! The quaking of the earth was getting worse and worse, the armor worn by the Great Tang cavalry and infantry clattering with it. As the tension intensified, the four Behemoths were building up speed, the two hundred thousand Arab soldiers getting closer and closer.
The battle was on the verge of beginning!
Facing down the approaching enemy army, Gao Xianzhi finally spoke. ”Wang Chong, Wang Yan! Get ready!”
The Behemoths were all incredibly strong. If they were to get past the defense line, the army would immediately suffer terrible casualties. The four had to act before this happened and keep the Behemoths out.
Clang!
Gao Xianzhi unsheathed his sword and began to exude a sharp energy aimed at one of the huge Behemoths.
Next to Gao Xianzhi, the earth quaked as energy gathered from all around, and in a bright flash, an enormous god rose from the earth. Cheng Qianli had manifested the Supreme Desolation God, standing before the defense line with countless chains rattling and coiling around his body. Cheng Qianli took one of the chains in his hand as he gravely looked forward.
”Mighty Miracle God Formation!”
At almost the same time, Wang Yan also roared, his body rapidly swelling into yet another majestic and weighty god.
The three had stern and vigilant expressions. After two battles with these Behemoths, they all had tired expressions and had still not returned to their peak prowess. Yet none of them, not Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, or Wang Yan, showed any sign of backing down. They stood like hardy pillars standing firm against a flood, the backbone upon which the confidence of the army resided.
This still isn't enough!
The air was saturated with tension, and as Wang Chong stood to the right of Gao Xianzhi and looked at the three mighty figures, he still felt an unprecedented danger. These three were simply in no shape to oppose the Behemoth Army, Abu Muslim, and the two hundred thousand Arab soldiers.
I have to think of a way to deal with the Behemoth Army!
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, countless thoughts flitting through his mind every second. The Behemoth Army was not an invincible existence. Wang Chong was clear on this point, as otherwise, the Arabian Empire would have used the Behemoth Army to conquer the entire world already. However, such a thing had never happened in his last life.
Moreover, from the information Wang Chong had gathered, he could tell that the Caliph of Arabia was extremely cautious when using the Behemoth Army, never mobilizing them unless absolutely necessary. On the surface, one could believe that the Caliph regarded this force as very precious or his opponents as not worth the trouble. But as the illustrious War Saint of his previous life, Wang Chong knew that the reality was completely different.
…Just what is it? What is the flaw of the Behemoth Army?
Wang Chong continued to ponder to himself. The earth shook with the stomps of the Behemoths, each stomp placing an incredible pressure on Wang Chong.
There was not much time left. Wang Chong knew that the strength of Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli was far from sufficient. Only a way to deal with the four Behemoths could truly resolve this crisis.
”Wang Chong! Hurry and call back the Wushang Cavalry!” Gao Xianzhi worriedly called out.
The Godking Yama Formation required borrowing the power of the five thousand Wushang Cavalry. With the battle imminent, Wang Chong needed to call back the Wushang Cavalry, but once he did, the Skyquaking Army would be unimpeded. Wang Chong found himself in a very challenging dilemma.
