Apolis could see that Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun were the pivotal characters on the battlefield, the commanders of their two armies. Killing them would inflict immense damage to the enemy's forces.
At the same time, it would open a path for his army to retreat!
Boom!
Following Apolis's order, the remaining seventy-thousand-some soldiers began to change directions, and the Governors and Deputy Governors began to gather around Apolis, ready to break out and at the same time kill Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun.
”Hahaha, you want to leave now? Can you?”
Loud laughter came from the distance. Before the Governors and Deputy Governors had even finished gathering around Apolis, Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun had already sensed his intentions.
The one who struck first was the strongest, and these two had no intention of letting Apolis gather his strength for a breakout attempt.
Boom!
The air rumbled as Zhangchou Jianqiong urged his horse onward, Stellar Energy bursting from his body.
Several dozen Arab cavalry in a range of several dozen meters in front of him screamed as they were swept up by this Stellar Energy and blasted away. In striking the soldiers behind, they created even greater disorder in the Arab ranks.
Zhangchou Jianqiong's eyes coldly flashed as he continued onward, leading Xianyu Zhongtong and the other generals of the Annan Protectorate army in shooting toward Apolis.
”Charge!”
A furious roar came from several dozen feet away, and then in a white beam of light, An Sishun led the Beiting Protectorate army generals in joining Zhangchou Jianqiong against Apolis.
An Sishun and Zhangchou Jianqiong had been stationed separately in the north and the south. While they had heard of each other, they had almost never interacted, let alone worked together.
In the Regional Commanders incident, the two of them had even been on opposite sides!
But this did not prevent them from sharing a tacit understanding, one that even surpassed the connection An Sishun shared with his own subordinates. The powerful auras of these two made the distant Apolis pale.
”Protect Milord!”
”Kill them!”
The Arab Governors and Deputy Governors shuddered, and with no time to think, they knocked aside the cavalry in their way and charged in Apolis's direction.
Some of them, sensing the danger, even jumped off the backs of their horses rather than continuing to ride through the army.
Apolis was the Hierophant's general and the overall commander of the vanguard. If he died, the army would instantly crumble.
These Governors and Deputy Governors responded very quickly, but unfortunately, the moment Zhangchou Jianqiong and An Sishun took action, they had already estimated the time it would take for the Arab generals to gather.
”White Tiger Swallows the Heavens!”
”Mountain River Storm!”
With a furious bellow, murderous energy exploded from Zhangchou Jianqiong's body and a vast sea of Stellar Energy was unleashed.
Zhangchou Jianqiong vanished, replaced by a massive white tiger. It leaped into the air, its several-dozen-meter body transforming into a white light that hurtled toward Apolis.
Space twisted and blurred around the white tiger, and that almost tangible killing intent seemed like sharp blades cleaving through space, leaving visible scars in their wake.
Bang!
At almost the same time, the Beiting Protector-General swept out his saber, and his body instantly began to surge with destructive Stellar Energy, a veritable waterfall that surged at Apolis.
Apolis's pupils constricted upon sensing the grave danger he was in. But he instantly got ahold of himself, his fingers cracking as they clenched into a fist.
”Damn infidels! I'll make sure you never go back!”
As an illustrious vanguard general and one of the Hierophant's subordinates, Apolis had slaughtered countless foes of Arabia, many of them illustrious generals in their own right. But on his first step into the east, on his first encounter with these eastern Great Generals, he was being forced to retreat without even fighting. How could he allow this?
Thick and concentrated killing intent erupted from Apolis's body and soared into the sky.
”Wrath of Amon!”
Apolis's body rumbled with Stellar Energy, and in a flash, he vanished, replaced by a hellish Demon God with the body of a wolf and the tail of a snake.
Amon! In Arabian records, it was ranked as seventh of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars, the god that controlled flames!
