Chapter 226 Jiangcheng's Crisis 1
"fire!"
With a command from Tie Tian, the invincible ancestor of the Mechanical Race.
The main cannon of the Mech Race's invincible warship suddenly lit up with a blinding white light.
The light was not ordinary white, but mixed with specks of dark gold, and carried an aura of destruction.
Tie Yuan's face turned ashen; he was genuinely in pain.
He used all his strength to force Zhao Gongming back, and then quickly retreated.
His eyes flashed with ferocity, and suddenly he roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
"Invincible warship. Target: Zhao Gongming."
His voice was filled with resentment and heartache.
"This is an invincible warship! This is the foundation of our race! It breaks my heart!"
The main guns of the Invincible-class battleships were designed to recharge very slowly. By standard, a full-power shot from the main guns required at least 15 minutes to recharge.
However, Tie Yuan relentlessly squeezed the warships' potential, forcibly shortening the charging time.
The heavy price paid was that the warship's energy core was overloaded, and the energy system was operating beyond its capacity.
The warship not only lost its combat capability but also had to be towed back to the Mech race for major repairs.
The cost of this major overhaul is no less than 30% of that of an invincible warship.
But he was helpless. The ten martial gods of Jiangcheng were too powerful, and the current battle situation was extremely unfavorable for the mechanical race and the demon race.
If we don't find a way to turn the tide of the war, both races may be defeated.
Therefore, he doesn't care about any losses or costs now. As long as he can kill Zhao Gongming, the morale of Jiangcheng will definitely suffer a great blow.
It was all worth it.
A beam of energy, white with dark gold flecks, shot out from the cannon muzzle, like a death ray from hell, heading straight for Zhao Gongming.
Wherever the energy beam passed, the air was directly ionized and vaporized, emitting a piercing shriek.
Even space itself was riddled with cracks, revealing wisps of chaotic void within.
The ground was directly blown away by the shockwave, and everything that blocked the energy beam was instantly vaporized, leaving not even a trace.
By the time Zhao Gongming sensed the terrifying attack, it was already too late.
He could barely lift the longsword, channeling all his vital energy into its blade to form a golden shield.
However, this was the strongest attack launched by the invincible warship, which was almost completely destroyed.
Its attack power has far exceeded the scope of the Invincible Realm, reaching a terrifying 1.3 billion HP.
This was something that a mere early-stage Martial God like him couldn't possibly withstand.
Even those who possess the blessings of the Great Dao cannot withstand it.
The Great Dao Blessing was flashing wildly, and the golden light shield it formed was trembling violently. Cracks were spreading rapidly across the surface of the light shield, making it seem as if it might shatter at any moment.
Just as the light shield was about to shatter, two figures rushed in front of Zhao Gongming.
Zhou Wuwei, Deputy City Lord of Shanhe Prefecture, is a Martial God in the early stage.
Ouyang Tian, the head of the Dao Academy branch, is at the early stage of Martial God. The two simultaneously raised their weapons, channeling all their vital energy into Zhao Gongming's shield.
The three people's blessings of the Great Dao combined, forcefully blocking that terrifying energy beam.
As the energy beam dissipated, all three were sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
Their bodies were covered in wounds, blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their faces were ashen.
"Lord Zhao!"
"Dean Ouyang!"
"Vice City Lord Zhou!"
A gasp of surprise came from the city wall.
Zhao Gongming struggled to stand up, but his legs gave way and he knelt down again.
Ouyang Tian's face was covered in blood, and he slumped helplessly to the ground.
Zhou Wuwei was in an even worse state; his right arm hung limply, swaying irregularly.
The bones inside are probably broken into several pieces.
The person was on the verge of fainting.
All three were seriously injured at the same time and will probably be unable to fight again for a while.
Tie Yuan looked at the three heavily injured men lying on the ground and a smile appeared on his lips.
Although the Lord of Shanhe Prefecture was not killed, it seems that this method is more effective.
The three Martial Gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, each blessed by the Great Dao, collapsed severely injured. This was far better than killing a single Martial God.
"Kill! Kill! My Machine Race will prevail!"
The morale of the allied forces of the alien races, who had just been suppressed and unable to raise their heads, was greatly boosted.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
With Zhao Gongming and the other two martial gods seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the battle, the battlefield situation instantly reversed.
Jiangcheng's defenses were originally quite strong.
Eight martial gods faced off against twenty martial gods, with two martial gods remaining to spare.
Zhao Gongming, Ouyang Tian, and Zhou Wuwei have now withdrawn due to serious injuries.
The number of martial gods in Jiangcheng suddenly dropped to seven.
Although the opposing side lost four Martial Gods, they still have sixteen Martial Gods left, including two who are at the half-step invincible level.
This pressure instantly weighed on the remaining Great Xia Martial Gods.
Hong Gu, A Rui, and four other martial gods had to take the place of Zhao Gongming and his two companions to fight against the mechanical and demonic martial gods who charged forward.
However, the five of them clearly lacked combat experience.
Although they have broken through to the Martial God level, their combat experience is nowhere near that of those Martial Gods who have fought on the battlefield for hundreds of years.
Tie Yuan saw this immediately. He didn't take action himself, but instead directed several mechanical warriors to entangle them and prevent them from doing anything else.
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor also realized this, so he led the Heavenly Demon Clan Martial God to hold off Old Ma and Ah Kun on the other side.
Let the five Heavenly Demon Martial Gods who have been chanting spells continue their incantations.
Vivian's eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Demon Martial Gods chanting incantations on the light screen.
Her fingers danced rapidly across the control panel.
These five Heavenly Demon Clan Martial Gods have been chanting for nearly seven minutes.
If they complete the spell, it will likely grant them some kind of domain or summoning ability.
This will be very disadvantageous for Jiangcheng.
"No! We must stop them at all costs!"
"Also, I need to report the battle situation here to my master as soon as possible."
"Requesting backup!"
She immediately mobilized all the sixth-tier war puppets to form squads of suicide assault teams.
Under the cover of those fourth and fifth-tier puppets, they charged toward the five Heavenly Demon Clan Martial Gods.
The silver-white fourth and fifth-tier war golems formed a charging formation and rushed towards the five chanters without regard for anything else.
Those high-level puppets of the sixth rank and above charged together among them.
The Martial Saints and Martial Venerables of the Mechanical Race and the Heavenly Demon Race attempted to intercept them.
However, those puppets were very fast and there were a great many of them.
Under the guidance of Vivian, a master of micro-management, her movements were incredibly stylish.
The puppets precisely bypassed the interception and rushed in front of the five Heavenly Demon Clan Martial Gods.
Then it self-destructed.
They directly detonate their own energy cores.
Boom boom boom!!!
A silvery-white light shone during the explosion, and heat waves and blasts spread in all directions.
This is a self-destruct attack that includes puppets of level six or higher.
The strongest are those enhanced mecha robots, whose self-destruct power is comparable to that of a half-step martial god.
The five Heavenly Demon Clan Martial Gods were thrown about by the explosion, one of them had his shield shattered and his body charred.
Although the other four were also injured, their chanting was not completely interrupted, and they persisted in completing the incantation.
