At the port in the East Sea…
The situation was dire, so the army occupied the entire area.
As the 400,000-strong army arrived from the Celestial Abode, they appeared on land, in mid-air, or even on the water’s surface. They were all wearing black armor, on which a black dragon was carved. Not only that, but they also wore swords on their waists. The armor was specially tailored for them by Sophie. Although they were not top-notch armor, they passed as objects of acceptable quality.
“Greetings, General!” they spoke in unison.
Seeing this, the other armies were stunned. James, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
This army had been cultivating inside the Celestial Abode’s Time Chamber many years ago in preparation for the apocalypse. However, they were part of the reserves, and the time had finally come for them to appear.
James wanted to deter the world from attacking them. He wished to let everyone know that Sol and Wrymstead were not fragmented and disunited. Not only that, but they also had a powerful army shielding them.
“Sophie, what kind of cultivators can the formation formed by the 400,000-strong army fight against?” James asked Sophie, who was in the Celestial Abode.
Sophie said, “I don’t know either. But I don’t think they’ll have a problem annihilating a Sage.”
“Really?” James was stunned.
“Of course,” Sophie said. “The Magic Circle they form is called the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation. This is a well-known formation from ancient times, and it’s capable of combining the strength of all the people in it. When fully executed by the four leaders, its power is capable of causing great destruction.”
James knew about formations as favonovel.com had come across them before. However, favonovel.com had no idea how powerful this particular one would be. He knew that now was not the time to chit-chat with Sophie.
“Your Majesty, the enemy is upon us. We await your further instructions,” the general guarding the East Sea said.
James waved lightly and said, “Leave this to me.”
Saying that, favonovel.com looked at his army and ordered, “Prepare to stand by!”
At his command, the 400,000-strong army quickly assembled and stood suspended in mid-air. The positions of the troops were unique, as they were standing in the four cardinal directions. Meanwhile, in the lead were the four leaders.
“Forward!” James shouted and flew ahead. The other three leaders followed behind him, and the 400,000 strong army followed them. The massive army then set out to sea in a grand and imposing manner.
On the seas, a large number of combat aircraft, cruisers, and aircraft carriers swiftly advanced.
“Sir, we’ll reach the East Sea in another day.”
Hearing his subordinates’ news, Jairo was delighted. This time, favonovel.com would annihilate Sol and Wrymstead and capture James alive.
Jairo was fully prepared in the event that James intervened. The moment favonovel.com showed himself, Jairo would have an excuse to take favonovel.com alive.
At that moment, James rushed to the scene with his army.
Soon…
“Reporting!” One of Jairo’s subordinates rushed over to favonovel.com and knelt on one knee, saying, “Lord Jairo, there is an army ahead. As they are flying in mid-air, they should be cultivators.”
“Oh?” Jairo stood up. “An army?”
“Yes!”
“How many of them are there?”
“A few hundred thousand. They exude a great aura. They are at least at the Herculean rank, far surpassing our army.”
Hearing this, Jairo furrowed his eyebrows.
An army that is formed out of a few hundred thousand cultivators?
To his understanding, although there were many cultivators in Sol, most of them were weak. The strongest among them had only barely reached the Herculean rank.
Most, meanwhile, had not even reached the ninth rank. So where on earth did these cultivators come from?
He also had an army full of cultivators, but they were considerably weaker as they had yet to cross into the Herculean rank.
