Chapter 845 - 653: A World of Difference + - 654: Race Against Time
October 3rd, auspicious for rituals, inauspicious for warfare.
The sunlight hung high in the mid-sky, tinged with a faint pallor, while the western wind blew fiercely, banners fluttering.
Zhou Ping’an sat upright atop a massive white tiger, behind him an army of fifty thousand surged with overwhelming might, their bloodshot eyes glinting with murderous intent.
Ahead, Ten li away, the Northern Garrison had already formed their massive battle array, with enormous green turtle shells visible even from afar, sending chills down the bones of onlookers.
For days on end, Yue Chengtian’s supernatural ability, the one wielded by the Northern Garrison’s commander, had wreaked havoc upon the Ping’an Army.
The suffering inflicted upon Zhou Ping’an’s forces had been considerable.
Victory seemed within reach, yet the opposition’s resilience proved tenacious, always managing to cling onto the last gasp of survival.
When spread across the army, this divine technique enhanced the defensive power of each soldier exponentially.
When concentrated, it shielded only Yue Chengtian himself, forming an impenetrable barrier akin to layers upon layers of thick, indestructible oceanic ice; breaking one layer only led to another, endlessly overlapping.
Behind the Yue-character banner of the Northern Garrison, sharp-eyed individuals could still make out another flag embroidered with the Xiao-character, black background with golden patterns, fluttering in the wind.
A contingent of twenty thousand Iron Cavalry, clad entirely in gleaming Silver Armor that enveloped both men and mounts, dazzled under the sunlight, almost blinding.
