”Mm?”
Wang Chong's eyes flashed. In a corner of the Forbidden Art Sea, he had glimpsed a black-robed figure, the last shred of the High Priest's mind. He immediately moved over to that corner, but he was too late. The High Priest was gone.
A dark cloud of worry appeared on Wang Chong's brow.
His stellar universe had already engulfed this area, and there was nothing that the universe could not hold. Logically, even if the last sliver of the High Priest's soul had wanted to escape, it should not have escaped Wang Chong's notice, but he really had managed to escape.
”It seems that he still has many secrets! This man… is far too mysterious!”
Wang Chong recalled the High Priest's parting words. For a moment, he even believed that this 'High Priest' was just a substitute and that he had not killed the real one. Or else that this High Priest was just an avatar being commanded by another.
But these were merely speculations, and Wang Chong soon regained his composure.
”Regardless, he no longer poses a threat for this war!” Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Although the enemy had escaped, the strike of the stellar universe had left him heavily injured, even on the verge of death. There was no question about this. In other words, no matter how many more secrets the 'High Priest' had, Wang Chong had used his strength to 'eliminate' him from the battlefield.
With these thoughts in mind, Wang Chong quickly calmed down.
”It's time to leave!”
The situation on the battlefield was constantly shifting. Though he had defeated the High Priest and eliminated this formidable threat, Wang Chong could already sense that the battle was beginning to turn against the Great Tang.
Buzz!
All the suns, nebulas, and black holes disappeared as Wang Chong withdrew his stellar universe, and his mind began to withdraw back into his own body.
”Kiiill!”
As Wang Chong opened his eyes, his ears were greeted with heaven-shaking roars. He immediately saw that the battlefield was engulfed in intense fighting, and in the distance, he spotted the bedraggled figure of Li Junxian fearlessly leading the Confucian Sect in stopping the Arab forces from joining their 'V'.
The Arabs were continuing to build up their advantage, and Li Junxian's location was now the floodgate. The moment the Confucian Sect fell, the entire Tang defense line would collapse, and even Wang Zhongsi, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Gao Xianzhi, and the other Great Generals would be in dire straits.
The situation was precarious and extremely grim for the Great Tang!
”Milord!”
A general near Wang Chong cried out in elation, the first to realize that Wang Chong had 'awoken'. The Arabs were simply too numerous, and at this stage in the battle, everyone was truly helpless as to what to do.
Wang Chong was the supreme commander of this army, and the news that he had awoken was truly worth celebrating.
”Mm.”
Wang Chong gave a slight nod that instantly calmed down the nervous general.
”There's no need to worry. I have a plan!”
As Wang Chong spoke, he glanced at the distant Khatabah. Based on his original plan, the Arabs should have never been able to push past his steel defense line, regardless of their numbers.
There was no doubt that this was all the work of Khatabah!
Arabia was not a country that placed much emphasis on military strategy, but this did not mean that it did not have any formidable strategists. It was obvious that, just like Wang Chong, Khatabah, beneath his calm exterior, had been laying down plans this entire time.
Others might have been surprised by this, but not Wang Chong.
If he didn't have this ability, he would have let down his title as the Arabian Empire's most legendary existence!
”Alas, you're just a little lacking!”
Wang Chong coldly chuckled, a sharp gleam in his eyes.
”Su Hanshan, cover with the ballistae! Aim to the front and right, thirty-five degrees, a distance of three hundred and forty-five! Aim well and shoot in unison!”
Rumble! A powerful mental wave entered Su Hanshan's mind.
”Your Highness!”
Su Hanshan was startled, a hint of happiness flashing in his eyes.
”Adjust to an angle of thirty-five degrees and a distance of three hundred and forty-five! Release!”
Bang!
The air exploded, gears groaning as ballista bolts were unleashed like raging dragons. And their target… was not the Arab cavalry fighting the Confucian Sect, nor was it the God's Ordained Cavalry or Adnan's Savage Fang Army. Rather, it was an unremarkable area on the right flank.
At present, this area seemed to have no connection to the rest of the battlefield.
