Section 53: Soldiers Approaching the City

The army of Thebes did not attack.

They hid behind the walls, reacting to the calmness and confidence they had shown in the previous days—the bravest of them stood behind the battlements, their legs shaking. And more cowards huddled together, trembling, pleading and praying to the gods.

This should be the last day.

This should also be the day 5,000 years ago, when the Scorpion Emperor returned from the Amxel Oasis with the Legion of the Reaper and came to the city of Thebes for the second time.

The city will be breached today, whether or not these warriors can muster up the courage. Their fate will be to be executed by Anubis's Legion of the Reaper.

Under the city, the army of jackal-headed monsters with a pitch-black body towered like a forest.

They are quiet, cold, and clad in armor and equipment made of gold. Their arrays were neat and tight, and the dark aura of materialization converged into a gloomy cloud over the tens of thousands of legions.

There is more than a difference in parameters between eight times and ten times.

Today's Reaper Legion, perhaps every individual, has C-level, or even close to C-level enhanced combat effectiveness.

And the Scorpion Emperor stood in the middle of the silent Death Legion—he was still clad in the scorpion-shaped armor. A shield in one hand, a recurved slasher in the other. His body does not appear to be a scorpion in the final form of the movie. However, the Anubis divine power that overflowed from his body had already turned into a blazing red light that danced from his eyes.

Judging from the momentum, his combat power at the moment may be roughly the same as that of Ammanette, the last in the world's third, Seth's palm. If the reincarnators were not suppressed by the rules of Anubis by the Lord God. Then the final outcome of this battle will not be as difficult to know as it is now.

The enemy is strong, and I am weak—but not necessarily unable to fight.

And in the silence of the Grim Reaper's legions, and the trembling of the defenders of Thebes. From the mouth of the Demon Scorpion Emperor, he issued a roar of filial piety that was no different from the beginning.

"Thebans! Surrender or perish! His voice was the same as ever.

However, no one in the defenders of Thebes dared to respond to him.

"Prepare for battle, guys." Jiang Yu pressed his palm on the spear of judgment. "The probability of a head-to-head win is low. Only by dragging it to the street battle link and relying on the terrain and props to intercept layer by layer can it effectively delay the marching speed of the Reaper Legion. At the same time, we also need to put as much blocking power as possible on the Demon Scorpion Emperor...... It was no longer possible for the Theban army to withstand the attack of the Reaper's army. We'll have to dispose of the Scorpion Emperor before the Grim Reaper's Legion can break through to the Central Temple. ”

Simple and straightforward plan – there is no dissent among the reincarnators. After Chu Xuan walked into the inner hall of the Great Temple, he blocked the doors and windows of the Great Temple, and no information has been released so far. And Zhang Jie was entrusted by him to be stationed at the gate of the temple - and counted Li Shuaixi, who was not actually entrusted by Chu Xuan.

Others may not know what the hell Chu Xuan is doing, but Jiang Yu trusts Chu Xuan and knows that this guy will definitely be active on this battlefield in some unexpected form. And since this is the case, then his specific whereabouts do not need to be considered too much.

Jiang Yu trusted Chu Xuan, so he didn't ask.

The others trusted Jiang Yu, so they didn't say much.

Zhan Lan also stayed near the Great Temple, but was stationed in a side hall. After a few days of adjustment and adaptation, the psychic link was able to reconnect with each of her companions.

Then, on the front line of the war, there are five people - Jiang Yu, Xia, Zheng Zha, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Yingkong.

Zero has found the most suitable vantage point, and even if he can no longer open the Dotted Eye, he is still a powerful sniper. And although Mu Gang can't complete the change of the air and space fighter, he can still be used as a firepower battery, and use the suppressed, but impossible to be deprived of the restored Cybertron's multi-threaded thinking power, to manipulate the drone war sequence prepared by Chu Xuan.

The configuration is not bad.

So—

"Wait for the Scorpion King to come in, or shall we keep him at the foot of the walls as much as possible?" Zheng Zhe exhaled softly, his breath carrying a faint high temperature. He had a reagent hidden in his arms.

Blood Reagent - Chu Xuan's R&D by-product prepared based on the Blood Clan's Golden Cup before stepping into the Anubis Pyramid. It can't help Zheng Zha reach the realm of the Duke in one step, but it can be used as an amplifier to temporarily increase Zheng Zhe's parameters as a blood clan, endurance, and finally unified combat effectiveness.

The reincarnators are well prepared for the weakening they may encounter. Not only Zheng Zha, but the rest of the people also have similar means at hand. Of course, the corresponding side effects will not go away, and soon, perhaps, it will be the time when they should be used.

"If you can solve it outside, it's outside." Jiang Yu made a decision. He was talking about solutions, not blocks. "What if...... Only our words are the only ones who can fight. ”

The voice landed.

At this time, the tactical configuration of the reincarnators was once again confirmed. Under the city of Thebes, the Demon Scorpion Emperor, who led a large army, may also feel that he has given the Thebans enough time to think about it.

The response of the Thebans was that there was no response.

And the champion of Anubis will naturally only wave the recurve sword in his hand.

"Attack." He said.

And so it all began.

The silent Grim Reaper legions lowered their bodies and charged towards the city of Thebes. Their strength, speed, and consequent bouncing power were enough to push them through the towering walls. And the only strategy that reincarnators can make is-

"Fire."

Jiang Yu said the order, and Mu Gang made an action.

Hundreds of semi-autonomous drones located in various directions on the city wall spit dazzling fire at the same time. Casting all the power that is not limited by the mechanics of this heaven and earth—it is the Spellbinding Beam Cannon that has been dismantled from the late Guardians of the Jungle. They opened fire with all their might as soon as the Reaper Legion charged, sending a pale blue streamer into the center of the battlefield, followed by a series of violent explosions.

'Boom——!

Blockbuster impact, blockbuster fire.

Anubis's legions were protected by divine powers. If you want to kill them, you can either decapitate their heads. Either their bodies from the neck down are directly blown into slag. The reincarnators chose the latter, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Grim Reaper armies were reduced to pieces, then disintegrated into black smoke and sand!

They didn't hesitate – they kept going.

Then - the second wave of blockade, and then arrived.

- Detonating gravity mines.

Beneath the walls, the reincarnators calculated the best place to jump and planted mines on the ground before sunrise. And when they worked, a large area of gravity anomalies forcibly pulled these fast-charging Reaper soldiers off and pulled them down. And accompanied by the cursed light cannon projected from the semi-autonomous drone, it bombarded the heads of these Reaper soldiers on time.

They can't resist - they can only crush in shelling.

However, even so...... What's the matter?

Hundreds, thousands, ...... Even two thousand Reaper soldiers. The remaining forces still have about ten times the weight of the losers. Without hesitation, the successors stepped over the wreckage of the losers, waving their gold-adorned uniforms and filling the battlefield with their sheer numbers.

The first Reaper warrior to climb the walls of Thebes.

In an instant, it shattered under the blade of light projected by the nearest semi-autonomous drone—the same supernatural armor dismantled from the Guardian of the Jungle.

The one who came first died.

But after the first climber, there was a second climber, a third, a fourth—until the hundredth, the thousandth. If possible, tens of thousands may not be impossible.

The number is huge, and they are not afraid of death. This is the power of the Monster Legion.

And soon, there was the first semi-autonomous drone, which was chopped to pieces by the soldiers of the Reaper.

And the defenders of Thebes did not come in the slightest use in this battle.

…………………………

- And so it was.

- I thought that the defenders of Thebes would be able to help a little in this final battle. But I didn't expect it...... They can't even delay for a second.

- In that case......

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes, he didn't want to do this. He thought that just as the Grave Keeper Order in the movie could withstand the first wave of the Reaper's attack and completely annihilate the opponent, the Theban army five thousand years ago could at least play a little help.

But they didn't - they lost their morale, they lost their fighting spirit. Even if he still had the slightest ability to resist, he was quickly slain by the swarming Grim Reaper's army - the king of Thebes was dead, and none of his guards were left intact. Screams, begging for mercy, desperate cries, one after another. The only thing that is not is the roar of rebellion.

They are of no use - don't even think about it, it's a small means of Anubis. Because this is its domain, it can be 'fine-tuned' in a lot of ambiguities.

It's still fair, because it's a test of the power of the samsara. and not the strength of the Theban army. Cutting external variables is not a black whistle.

Then, the process of making the best use of things can only be done by the reincarnated.

- Do it.

In the psychic link, Jiang Yu sent a signal.

And in the next moment, from every block, from every large house, there was a blazing fire!

Fire, burn the city.

This is not Cairo, where over the course of several days, the reincarnations of Middle-earth have learned that all living things are false—and at the same time as the vast expanses of the Reaper Army warriors were reduced to ashes in the heat and flames. The entire column of semi-autonomous drones that had been equipped with fire prevention in advance also retreated into the center of the boiling fire.

The Reaper Army is still charging - they are not normal troops. Even if they need to pass through the flames, they will keep their eyes on what they must reach.

And at the same moment -

- Teleportation.
