#704 - Knights and Armies

With the military camp in sight, dense crowds of people rapidly gathered, forming a solid military formation in front of the camp. The legendary human commander, Barnard, looked slightly relieved, knowing that as long as he could escape back into the formation, he would have the confidence to contend with the powerful figure behind him.

This wasn't the first time Allen had witnessed a human military formation. During the battles on the border of the grasslands, the formations under the command of human knights, whether facing legendary powerhouses head-on or confronting the wilderness legions, displayed a destructive power far greater than the sum of their parts.

Taking a deep breath, Allen channeled his inner rage, under mental guidance, surging it into the heavy sword in his hand. As a faint luster gradually seeped out from the dark gold longsword, Allen swiftly thrust his arms forward, the tyrannical rage converging into a ray that traversed the spatial barrier, heading straight for the back of the human knight a hundred meters away.

The immense pressure brought by the Instant Kill Sword Technique made Barnard's entire back tingle. His body, gliding in the sky, suddenly sank, dropping straight to the ground like a pendant.

Clang!!

Barnard's helmet rang crisply. The kinetic energy from the Instant Kill Sword Qi grazing against it almost sent the helmet flying off his head, and Barnard only felt a dizzy spell before his feet landed on solid ground, and he returned to normal after a breath.

Boom!!!!

The fence of the military camp, made of logs as thick as a person's embrace, was pierced through, creating a large hole wide enough for twenty or so people to walk abreast. At the opening, dozens of human knights and heavy shield warriors at the front were thrown off their feet, causing the newly constructed military formation to slightly deform.

If someone observed carefully, they would be able to see that the ground where the massive military formation was located had uniformly sunk by more than ten centimeters. This was because, after the human military formation had formed into a single entity, it had distributed Allen's tyrannical attack to every member of the formation, with everyone together bearing the power of the Instant Kill Sword Technique.

"Hmph!!"

Allen's fighting spirit soared even higher at this moment, and he didn't show the slightest intention of retreating because of the appearance of the enemy army.

Since breaking through to demigodhood, Allen hadn't really had a hearty battle. Although he hadn't held back when fighting against Yariel, the high-ranking legendary chieftain of the Snow-Mire Clan, and had unleashed his strongest strength, his opponent was ultimately weak and hadn't given Allen much pressure. Furthermore, he had to consider the surrounding area of the battlefield at the time, which made Allen feel somewhat constrained.

Now that he finally had the opportunity, without needing to care about the collateral damage brought by the aftermath of the battle, nor needing to worry about whether his body could withstand the backlash of a full-force eruption, how could Allen not feel excited!!

As he exhaled a mouthful of stale air, Allen's body suddenly swelled by a circle, directly activating the Berserk skill.

At the same time, the dark black dragon scale armor on Allen's body also emitted several magical syllables. His mental power linked to the spell models on the scales, and a subtle magical fluctuation rose. The spell effect of 'Dragon Strength' filled Allen's body.

Beneath the scale armor, Allen's muscles, piece by piece, were like metal creations forged through countless hammer blows. Each cell was fibrous, transformed into energy strands, protecting Allen's vital organs and blood vessels, and resiliently withstanding the surging energy torrents, washing through his body.

Barnard finally returned to the army. He looked painfully at the bent spear in his hand. This beloved weapon that had accompanied him for many years would have to be reforged by a master craftsman before it could display its special effects again.

The military formation beside him was not in its strongest state due to the hasty formation. The number of people, only a little over three or four thousand, meant that the formation's ability to dissipate force or gather energy was reduced.

However, this was only in relation to a head-on clash between military formations. At this moment, the opponent in front of Barnard and the others was just a mere ogre powerhouse. Now that Barnard, a legendary knight, was leading the military formation, although it might not be able to hold back this ogre, self-preservation should no longer be a problem.

Moreover, countless teams were still gathering towards the location of Barnard's military formation around the military camp. When the complete military formation was formed, the effectiveness of the formation would naturally become even stronger.

He took out a spare high-level magic spear from his dimensional bag, and the knight captain next to him yielded his unicorn mount. An aura of magic spread from the ground where the unicorn and Barnard were, expanding backward and quickly enveloping the entire military formation. This was the knight's exclusive domain aura.

Just as the knight's aura spread, Allen had already launched a charge, raising his heavy sword high, and unleashing his strongest Sky-Opening Sword Style from the start.

Black lightning crackled around the heavy sword. Those were spatial rifts, torn by the tyrannical power, constantly appearing and disappearing. The boundless energy was almost tangible, and the wind blades it stirred up were comparable to the magic of a high-level caster, landing on the military formation of thousands of people ahead.

Barnard pointed his spear upwards. He didn't know where the strong man on the opposite side got the courage to confront the thousands of regular troops led by a mid-level legendary like himself with his own strength, but the power of this attack was indeed moving.

The power of thousands of warriors, under the effect of the domain aura, converged towards Barnard. The energy accumulated at the tip of the spear became increasingly heavy, so heavy that Barnard needed to hold the spear with both hands to barely suppress the trembling of the spear tip.

The sword style fell, and Barnard also thrust his spear upwards at the same time. The two weapons collided seemingly slowly, but actually swiftly.

Boom!!

The shrill sound of weapons clashing exceeded the range of biological hearing, but the subsequent energy storm that erupted and spread swept across the entire earth. The solid ground beneath the military formation's feet seemed to have suddenly experienced a small earthquake, and the entire ground uniformly sank dozens of centimeters deeper again.

The mounts under the knights neighed uneasily. They also suffered the injuries of their masters' bodies. The instinct of beasts when facing danger made them try to escape this land, but their masters pulled on their reins, preventing them from moving.

The soldiers in the team, some of whom were relatively weak, also spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. Even though the entire military formation shared the previous slash from Allen, the force impact that was evenly distributed to each warrior was not something all warriors could withstand.

Allen was blown away by the impact, and only stopped his retreat more than a mile away. Blood also overflowed from the corner of his mouth due to the force of the recoil. However, in his body, the energy network between the blood vessel walls and muscle tissues resiliently withstood the powerful backlash. Apart from some slight penetrating injuries in the internal organs due to the shock, and spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, his whole body was still alive and kicking, and there were no major problems.

Feeling his body cheering, Allen stomped hard on the ground. As a shockwave of air vibrated open, his body had already turned into lightning, rushing towards the military formation.

Triple Wave!!

Barnard's arms went numb, his bones creaking. Even though most of the impact was dispersed through the domain aura and the entire military formation, Barnard, strong as a Legend, still felt terrible. This made him even more shocked and fearful of the strength of the person in front.

Just as Barnard thought that the opponent would need to adjust their breathing after suffering such a powerful counter-shock, he saw the almost imperceptible figure in his peripheral vision charging again. Barnard couldn't help but take a deep breath, retracting the spear in his hand to his front, ready to thrust.

Clang!!

The scene of one person charging directly into thousands of powerful enemies was extraordinarily shocking, but unfortunately, Allen himself had no time to admire this scene.

Compared to the previous collision, where he was sent flying over half a kilometer away, this time Allen only flew out a few dozen meters before stopping his momentum. As soon as he regained control, the Bone Cleaver, which had been knocked aside, was swung behind him, his left and right hands crossing behind his back. The Bone Cleaver, with the whistling wind, turned into a gray-white hurricane, growing larger and larger as it rushed towards the left flank of the military formation.

"Right!! Shift!!"

Barnard's command echoed in the eardrums of the soldiers in the formation, and the soldiers quickly shifted to the right.

At the same time, the fighting spirit and energy of the soldiers continued to gather in Barnard's spear as they shifted. Barnard lightly kicked the unicorn's abdomen, and the unicorn, sensing its master's command, uneasily galloped, leading Barnard to charge towards the hurricane on the left.

Boom!!

The ground trembled repeatedly. The already solid military camp training ground was now bearing the power of a demigod, constantly sinking into the ground, yet still maintaining relative integrity, preventing the soldiers from being disturbed during their shifting movements.

The Hurricane Sword swept away several human soldiers who couldn't dodge in time, but more of the energy aftermath was blocked by Barnard and his soldiers.

"Rise!!"

Barnard's upper body was numb, and the unicorn mount beneath him constantly let out mournful cries, but he didn't give up the opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment when Allen's sword momentum was about to end, he suddenly shouted loudly, extending his spear forward, and a beam of energy shot straight towards Allen's location.

Pfft!!

Allen's body turned into a bubble. The High-Level Teleportation magic on the Black Dragon Armguard activated in time, taking Allen away to an unknown location.

The beam failed to hit Allen and continued forward until it was blocked by a small mountain more than a kilometer away. Accompanied by violent rumbling and faint tremors, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the distant mountain.

The counterattack failed, and Barnard's expression became even more serious. He didn't detect Allen's presence within the range of his mental network until a black shadow swooped down from a thousand meters above. The speed of the figure's charge even exceeded the speed of sound.

Barnard's expression changed drastically, but when he saw a semi-transparent, enormous shield forming above his head, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The spellcaster team, arriving late, had spent longer than the military formation to gather, completing the magical connection of the team and a relatively long magical incantation, releasing a shield at a critical moment to resist a Legendary-level magic.

Seeing the enormous shield suddenly appearing in his path, Allen's eyes were indifferent. Mental threads connected to the Bone Cleaver, and the Demon Breaking Rune instantly emitted a dim, stabbing light, wrapping around the blade, carrying Allen to continue his dive without hesitation.

Sky Split!!

Sizzle ~ ~ ~ ~

The magic shield seemed to have a substantial existence. When the Bone Cleaver pierced into it, it emitted a horrifying frictional sonic boom and involuntarily caved in towards the ground.

"Not good!!"

Barnard saw the scene above his head and the increasingly close figure of the Bear Goblin, and exclaimed in his heart. He didn't care about the shock, fear, and other emotions rising up, and the spear in his hand formed a ball of phantoms, directly rising from the ground and charging towards Allen's falling trajectory.

Pop!!!!

The effectiveness of the Demon Breaking Rune was actually limited against the magic cast by this human spellcaster team. It relied more on Allen's own powerful strength. He brutally broke through the shield above his head, and as the newly formed shield slowly dissipated, Allen, bearing the remaining power of the sword technique, fell straight down.

Ding!!

Another straightforward head-on collision. Allen shot back into the sky, while Barnard, who had risen from the ground to intercept Allen, plunged headfirst.

Thud!!

A gap of more than ten meters appeared in the military formation. The human soldiers at the edge of the gap were knocked over and staggered, with expressions of pain on their faces. In the center of the gap was a deep pit. After several breaths, Barnard, covered in blood and looking disheveled, climbed out of the pit and shouted for the soldiers to regroup.

In the sky, several fireballs the size of one or two meters chased after Allen's figure under the mental control of the spellcaster team, buying Barnard and the others valuable time to regroup.

Allen swung his sword back, directly shattering a fireball several meters away in front of him. The scorching fire waves instantly engulfed his figure. Before the violent fire elements could subside, Allen's figure had already burst out of the flames. The resistance brought by the Black Dragon Scale Armor and the powerful body of a demigod allowed Allen to emerge almost unscathed.

Another fireball shot over. Allen continued to imitate the previous method, shattering the fireball while continuing to charge towards the human military formation.

"Go!!"

Pointing from afar with the Instant Kill Sword Technique, Allen would never give the humans a chance to regroup. The sword technique that crossed the spatial barrier appeared in the military formation in an instant.

Boom!!!!

A gap two to three meters wide appeared on the right flank of the military formation. Although it didn't pierce through the entire military formation, at least a hundred human warriors were killed or injured by this strike.

Rumble!!

A thick earthen wall rose seemingly slowly from the ground, rising more than ten meters in just a few breaths, protecting the breached gap in the military formation. At the same time, the human warriors, whose morale was somewhat depressed, still didn't give up, continuing to readjust their formation according to their usual drills, making up for the gap.

Allen cleaved forward with his heavy sword, crashing directly into the thick earthen wall.

Thud!!

Another earth-shattering tremor. The five-to-six-meter-thick earthen wall began to collapse from the position where Allen crashed in, and at the other end, Allen also emerged covered in dust, resolutely charging towards the gradually closing military formation.

Behind Allen, before the tall earthen wall had completely collapsed, hundreds of thick vines burst out from it, chasing after Allen's figure, crawling towards the military formation with flailing claws.
