Chapter 454 Battle Situation
Chapter 454 Battle Situation
Time flies, and ten long years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this seemingly peaceful period, undercurrents were swirling in the border region, and the situation was becoming increasingly tense.
Finally, a tremendous storm suddenly erupted on the border—a powerful dynasty belonging to the Immortal Vein could no longer contain its ambitions and launched a fierce attack on the Great Qin Dynasty.
In an instant, war drums thundered and flames of war raged across the sky, and the cruel war began mercilessly.
This war not only marked the beginning of a fierce conflict between two powerful forces, but also became the fuse that plunged the entire Middle Domain into chaos and turmoil.
However, the people of the Immortal Vein may never have foreseen the unimaginable and severe consequences that their rash initiation of war would bring.
On the Qin Dynasty's side, long before the Immortal Vein Dynasty was even stirring and about to make a move, its astute intelligence network had already successfully obtained relevant information and quickly devised a countermeasure.
When the army of the Immortal Vein Dynasty charged in with great momentum, the Great Qin Dynasty was already on high alert.
Towering energy cannons stood like steel behemoths on the city walls, and as the operators skillfully pressed the buttons, these incredibly powerful weapons immediately came into operation.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling beams of energy ripped through the sky like lightning, hurtling towards the surging enemy ranks with overwhelming force.
Each beam of energy contained earth-shattering power. Wherever it passed, enemy soldiers were blown away by the powerful impact, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, a truly gruesome sight.
In just a moment, the once-aggressive enemy forces suffered unprecedented heavy losses and casualties.
The people of the Immortal Vein Dynasty never expected that the Great Qin Dynasty would react so swiftly! You must know that before this, they had carefully planned and deliberately concealed their whereabouts.
Furthermore, to ensure absolute certainty, they dispatched a large number of experienced spies to the surrounding areas to thoroughly investigate the situation. After repeated confirmations, they were certain that it was impossible to expose even the slightest clue.
Moreover, this operation is of paramount importance. In order to ensure that there are absolutely no mistakes, the Immortal Vein Dynasty even secretly placed a super strong expert of the Immortal Emperor level from the Upper Realm within the army.
This Immortal Emperor's strength is unfathomable; his powerful divine sense is enough to cover an area of dozens of miles.
They firmly believed that as long as this Immortal Emperor was in charge of the army, there was absolutely no way that anyone could escape his incredibly sharp divine sense detection.
However, to everyone's surprise, there was a huge loophole in this seemingly flawless plan—someone was secretly monitoring their every move!
What's even more astonishing is that this person actually managed to evade the divine sense detection of that Immortal Emperor and remained undetected.
But it was too late. Even if the Immortal Vein Dynasty knew this astonishing fact now, it was too late.
The situation they are facing is already very serious. No matter what choice they make, there is only one path left: to grit their teeth and continue fighting. They cannot easily retreat.
Because retreat would inevitably trigger a series of serious consequences, and could even lead to the complete collapse of the entire war effort.
Therefore, even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and dangers, they have no choice but to fight with their backs to the wall and risk their lives!
Otherwise, given the Qin Dynasty's notoriously fiery temper, they would have certainly not hesitated to send a large army to hunt them down.
It was precisely because they knew this that the Immortal Vein Dynasty was able to grit its teeth and persevere despite facing such immense pressure.
As the Immortal Vein Dynasty took the lead, many other dynasties and imperial dynasties bordering the Great Qin Dynasty no longer hesitated and followed suit.
However, what is unexpected is that these countries ultimately met the same fate.
The defensive line composed of 36 vassal states was like an impregnable fortress, successfully keeping the 36 invading enemies outside the gates of the Qin Dynasty.
Even worse, many of these dynasties failed to put up even a brief resistance before quickly succumbing to the overwhelming counterattack of the Qin Dynasty.
Left with no other choice, these defeated dynasties hurriedly sent out distress signals to other neighboring dynasties and imperial courts, hoping to receive assistance and reverse their unfavorable war situation.
Other dynasties and imperial dynasties were also well-prepared, and their reinforcements arrived quickly.
Despite having a significant numerical advantage, the battle unexpectedly reached a stalemate. Just then, Qin Wu's side received a battle report from the front.
Faced with this situation, Qin Wu made a decisive decision and ordered the 12 royal clans to immediately join the battle.
With the addition of the 12 royal armies, the already strained allied defenses collapsed instantly, like a dam bursting.
The allied forces began to retreat in defeat, but fortunately, due to thorough preparations, they did not immediately fall into a state of utter defeat.
However, even so, the Qin Dynasty's pace of conquering cities and territories slowed down significantly, far from its previous unstoppable momentum.
In fact, there are deeper reasons behind this situation.
It turns out that after years of investing heavily and researching diligently, the major factions, led by the Immortal Vein, have successfully developed a powerful protective immortal artifact capable of covering a wide area.
It was thanks to the solid shield provided by these magical artifacts that the allied forces were able to barely hold on against the fierce offensive of the Qin Dynasty and avoid being quickly defeated.
However, it should be noted that these protective magical artifacts are not indestructible or indestructible.
Under the continuous bombardment of the Qin Dynasty's incredibly powerful energy cannons, they also suffered enormous damage, with a severe degree of attrition.
Just as the Immortal Alliance was encountering numerous obstacles, the Demon Realm, sensing the danger, quickly took countermeasures and dispatched a large number of elite troops without hesitation, attempting to provide strong support to their allies.
However, given the relatively distant sphere of influence they occupy, reaching the battlefield in a short period of time is no easy task.
The only feasible way to achieve rapid reinforcement is to activate a long-distance teleportation array, but the resources required would be astronomical. For the Demon Realm, which is always careful with its resources, this expense is too huge and unbearable.
Left with no other choice, the Demon Realm's higher-ups had to order the Immortal Vein faction to hold their ground for the time being and await further support.
At the same time, the Phoenix Clan and the Great Qin Dynasty have reached a comprehensive and in-depth cooperation, and are continuously sending more troops to the border areas.
Faced with such an aggressive stance, the Buddhist realm, which had originally intended to support the immortal veins, was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
If troops are rashly dispatched to reinforce the Immortal Vein, the Buddhist Domain's existing defenses may be unable to withstand the Phoenix Clan's offensive if they seize the opportunity.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Buddhist realm ultimately chose to remain inactive to avoid losing sight of the bigger picture.
In contrast, the dragons' performance seemed somewhat perfunctory.
They merely symbolically increased the number of troops at the border, with the sole purpose of ensuring that the demon realm would not dare to easily take action against them.
This, in turn, leaves the Demon Realm with some room for maneuver, allowing them to allocate a portion of their army to support the Immortal Vein.
In an instant, the entire battle situation became increasingly complex and unpredictable.
