Chapter 144 - 143: Reinforcements Arrive_1
The homeland is the bottom line! How could Zhao Yun ever give up his homeland? He would rather die in battle than allow the enemy’s iron hooves to tread upon even an inch of the Qin Empire’s land.
"Brothers, for the Qin Dynasty, for our faith, and even more for our families behind us, we cannot retreat! We shall not retreat! We can only fight the enemy to the death and carve a bloody path out of this adversity!" Zhao Yun turned and roared.
The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army remained stoic, offering no reply, merely tightening their grip on their weapons.
"Assault the city!" commanded the leader of the Poison Scorpion Guard.
Ten thousand Poison Scorpion Guards leaped into the air, their massive bodies hurtling toward the soldiers on the city wall.
"Kill!" Zhao Yun’s eyes hardened. His spear thrust out, piercing the body of a Poison Scorpion Guard. Blood splattered, staining the city wall red, as he then charged toward the leader of the Poison Scorpion Guard.
The two armies formally clashed in close combat.
Poison Scorpion Guards continuously scaled the city wall, engaging the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army. The clang of weapons, the shouts of battle, and the dying wails of soldiers resounded throughout the sky.
Bodies constantly fell from the city wall. Some belonged to the Scorpion tribe, but most were the corpses of Azure Dragon Army soldiers.
This was the most brutal battle the Azure Dragon Army had ever experienced. Facing the formidable Poison Scorpion Guard, they had no choice but to fight desperately.
"Come on, you damned alien race!" a soldier, drenched in blood with a massive gash on his chest, bellowed, his eyes crimson as he charged at a nearby Poison Scorpion Guard.
