Chapter 178: Soldiers Approaching the City

He looked to the east and saw a black line in the sky, rushing from the east line by line like a black tide.

"There are too many people! The momentum of the 100,000-strong army is very strong!" Henry sighed.

As the army got closer, Ace became more relaxed, and there was no nervousness on his face: "If I'm not mistaken, they should stop outside the city first and not attack directly. First of all, this is to restore the energy expended on long journeys; Secondly, it's a test of our strength!"

The sound of horses' hooves and war drums grew louder and louder. This extremely palpable shock can already be felt by many in Nameless City.

Soon after, all 100,000 soldiers appeared in the distance.

Ace looked at the New Delhi army rushing towards here. He couldn't help but scoff, "Do you think you can defeat us in this way? That's naïve!"

Suddenly, a childish and unrealistic idea flashed through Ace's mind.

He took out a Thunder Magic Scroll from the Space Bracelet, one of Hades' bequests.

He looked at the sky, then shook his hand gently, and a small black void vortex suddenly appeared on his palm, which immediately absorbed the Thunder Magic Scroll.

Immediately after, the Thunder Scroll exploded in the sky, "roaring" with a burst of lightning and thunder, and the clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed.

The originally clear sky suddenly darkened. The sky was filled with thunder and lightning that seemed to tear the whole sky apart.

The sky soon darkened. Soon, darkness engulfed all sides. With lightning in the sky, the whole world seems to have a catastrophe.

The fast-moving New Delhi army suddenly became disorganized, especially the cavalry rushing to the front. Their horses were frightened and kept neighing. The scene suddenly became chaotic!

Seeing this, Ace couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought you had a strong will. As a result, frightened by a few thunders? It's useless!"

Although his voice was not loud, it reached the ears of the soldiers and the soldiers of New Delhi.

Only then did they realize that the traitor Ace had done all this!

One of the captains snorted, "Don't panic, it's just a trick by Ace's traitors. Stay in formation and keep going!"

Under the command of the commander, the army slowly stabilized and began to rush towards the Nameless City.

However, compared to the beginning, the momentum of the battle has weakened a lot, and there is no momentum in one go.

Henry stood on the wall and watched the army rush again. His expression became more serious, and he turned to look at Ace beside him.

Ace still didn't appear nervous or flustered. He said coldly, "Little tricks? Today I'm going to show you how good my little tricks are!"

As soon as his voice fell, he saw an extremely strong lightning bolt that shot down from the sky and fell more than 100 meters in front of the New Delhi army!

With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared in the ground.

This earth-shattering thunder not only frightened the soldiers of New Delhi, but also panicked the horses.

For a time, the cavalry in front of the army was completely confused, and many horses almost instinctively turned around and prepared to flee to the rear.

This general, as the commander of the army, saw that the situation was not right. He quickly shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Knights, lean back!"

Soon, the soldiers in the middle marched forward, while the cavalry retreated to the rear, protecting the front of the mage's ranks.

After the formation was adjusted, the captain shouted, "All soldiers obey my orders and charge forward!"

In a few moments, the sound of "bang bang bang" kept coming, and the soldiers quickly arrived at the Nameless City with the magical blessing of "concussion".

The pace of the advance of the army in New Delhi was also significantly accelerated.

The knights in the middle, their mounts, were well-trained horses after all, so they quickly adjusted, rearranged their formation, and charged all the way towards the city walls.

"What now?" Henry asked Ace.

Ace looked calm, jumped to the wall, and said without looking back, "Don't move. Let me disrupt their formation!"

Ace

When he had finished speaking, he jumped forward and rushed to the battlefield below.

When Ace landed on the ground, the soldiers on the front line had already appeared hundreds of meters in front of Ace.

Ace was not in a hurry to fight the mighty New Delhi army.

300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters.

When the first soldier appeared fifty meters in front of Ace, Ace finally took action.

He took a deep breath, then let out a loud roar.

The earth-shattering roar of the dragon spread all over the world. The impact of the dragon's roar directly blew up all the flying sand and rocks on the ground, hitting the oncoming army.

With a "bang", hundreds of soldiers on the front line did not have time to escape. They were all swept to the ground by the dragon's roar, their ears roaring and their eyes red.

Some of the horses were frightened even more by the dragon's roar and immediately fell to the ground.

In this way, after Ace's roar, the New Delhi army, which had just regained momentum, was routed and disrupted again!

"Don't panic! He's just a man. How can you defeat 100,000 of us!" The commander shouted angrily to stabilize the morale of the army.

However, no matter how much he raised his voice, compared to the dragon roar that Ace had just now, it was completely different and could not be compared.

What's more, the commander was pale at this time, apparently suffering internal injuries.

However, at this time, he did not show any fatigue, and still shouted to the team of magicians behind him as if he was nothing, "All magicians, stand up!"

Normally, when forming troops, the mage should stand at the end of the line and use the barrier of soldiers and knights to attack the enemy from a distance.

But now the cavalry, which was supposed to rush to the front, retreated again and again, forcing the commander to change tactics.

Soon, 10,000 magicians who had not lost their strength bypassed the invisible cavalry formation and came to the front line.

On the front line, the soldiers, who still have all their energy, are facing the command of Ace at this time, ready to fight to the death at any time!

As soldiers, not generals, they can only follow the instructions of their commanders!

Ace looked at the New Delhi army coldly, knowing that this army had lost a large part of its momentum, and sneered, "Why, I haven't really started yet!" You can't do it? It seems that your regimental commander is really not good! Cultivated such a bunch of waste!"

As he said, he constantly scans the army to see if there are powerful people hiding inside.

The reason why Ace didn't kill him directly, but used the "Dragon Roar" to scare the other party, was mainly for testing! After all, he could not be sure if the New Delhi army was really as vulnerable as it seemed!

"Ace! You traitor, you have been hiding in the Northwest for so many years, but your ambitions remain! How dare you attack Sharp Province this time? I'm really looking for death!" The commander yelled as loudly as he could.

Ace laughed angrily, "Your mad king has a plan to kill me, even if it is at great cost to the gods! Now that I have taken revenge with a great army and taken 20 cities, do you call me ambitious and selfish?"

At this point, Ace stopped laughing and said, "If this is what the madman of Firmament City thinks, please go back and tell him to protect his dog's life. His life must end with me!"

The commander was initially promoted by Terrera, who was loyal to the New Kingdom. Now, when he hears that Ace is a "madman" and is talking nonsense, his heart is filled with rage.

Before the troops were dispatched, His Majesty had specifically instructed him to "do whatever he wanted"! In other words, he can decide whether to fight or retreat!

Now, hearing Ace slander His Majesty the King of Firmament City like this, he naturally had the idea of "fighting".

Just as he was about to give the order for the whole army to attack, a lieutenant next to him stopped him: "Commander! We should calm down, the king said that if we can win without a fight, it will be the best!"

The captain said coldly, "Can we stop fighting now? Look at the current situation, we have suffered casualties, but we haven't even touched the walls of the Nameless City!"

After saying that, the commander again

"Today, no matter what happens, everyone must obey the order, occupy Nameless City, and drive the traitor Ace back to the land of the subhumans!"

Although the commanders did not take this dispute into account and wanted to use the momentum to scare Ace's garrison, they clearly underestimated Ace's determination to fight. This, of course, was the idea of the commander himself.

Under his command, the army was rapidly reorganized, and eventually a reasonable formation was formed.

"Forward!" The commander shouted.

Then, they saw an army of nearly 90,000 men marching towards the Nameless City.

The soldiers were in front, the magicians were behind, and the regrouped cavalry came to the sides of the army, ready to encircle the Nameless City.

Ace looked at it all with a smile. Alone with 100,000 soldiers, he remained fearless.

He didn't expect that the 100,000 army was really ready to retake the city! Originally, I thought that this was just a test and attempt by the New Delhi Empire to scare itself away.

However, he was still not too worried.

He has made great progress in strength over the years, so he can take this opportunity to test how many troops he can resist.

After all, he promised Zavalado not to involve the soldiers guarding the city.

Therefore, he had a very bold idea and decided to resist the army of 100,000 with the strength of one man!

Even if he finds out that he can't stop it, it's fine. After all, when the time comes, you can take the Shining Knight back and then retreat.

The Knight of the Flash is Ace's most powerful hole card to ensure the safe retreat of his troops.

With this in mind, Ace turned around and looked at Leonardo da Vinci, who had landed outside the city. After a brief eye contact, Leonardo da Vinci understood what Ace meant. He immediately prepared ahead of time with the other Knights.

At that time, as long as Ace gave the order, they would immediately lead the army into action! This is the power of the Shining Knight!

Ace turned around and faced 100,000 soldiers again, looking calm.

"Kill them!"

"Rush!"

The oncoming cries of killing were very loud, and the sound of horses' hooves on either side was even louder.

Faced with all this, Ace closed his eyes.

For him today, there is no need to open his eyes, because his perception is already strong. Even when he closed his eyes, he could clearly feel everything around him.

Not only that, but once he closes his eyes, he can also enhance his other senses, judging the direction in which the opponent is preparing to attack through his voice; A person hiding in the dark ready to carry out a sneak attack can be identified by the air current.

Therefore, when he closes his eyes, he actually enters another world, a quieter world where all external distractions can be stripped of!

Today, Ace decided to test his strength with these 100,000 people!

As the army approached, Ace felt a more and more pronounced shock.

His ears twitched slightly, and all the images and breathing in front of him were within his perceptual range.

Even Ace can feel the elemental cycle of the magicians!

This was discovered by Ace by accident in recent years while researching Hades' legacy.

Although he couldn't do this at the time, he was able to sense the existence and operation path of these elements, even the magic of different elements!

Therefore, even if the mage was not wearing a robe, Ace could immediately tell what kind of magic he was practicing, and could even roughly infer his realm from the intensity of the elemental energy.

Therefore, although there is still a certain distance between the five thousand magicians and Ace, Ace already knows the strength of the 10,000 magicians.

20 Magisters, 2000 Advanced Mages, 7980 Intermediate Mages.

Ace didn't pay much attention to such a large team of magicians. Although he hasn't really become a great magician yet, it's only a thin line.

Using the "Burst Gas" magic, he can become a real Grand Mage in a short period of time!

As a dark archmage, Ace's strength is much stronger than that of ordinary archmages!

soon

, the army appeared fifty meters in front of Ace. He snorted coldly and immediately used the "Explosive" magic, and his realm rose to the level of a great magician! Then he pressed his hands the ground, and the army of 100,000 people immediately stopped!

This is a very strange scenario. 100,000 people kept moving forward, but many were frozen in the air. Flowing hair and flowing sleeves look unreal.

Ace shuttled from army to army, and soon came to the center of the 100,000 army.

After he stood still, he used a dark magic called "Dark Winding"!

What a terrible thing it is to be surrounded by sharp blades at the level of a great mage. Within a 2-mile radius, all those touched by the sharp blades of the Black Shadow were shocked into the sky, but they were suspended in the air by the magical effect of time standstill.

In addition, each of them had a deep wound cut by a sharp blade. Some will die on the spot, while others will lose all their combat effectiveness!

Of these, hundreds are magicians!

This was a huge blow to the New Delhi Empire.

Ace has rarely taken action in recent years, so many in New Delhi seem to have forgotten how terrible the once-proud son of the Emperor is now.

Over the past three years, the reputation of the Shining Knight seems to have far surpassed that of Ace.

They even ignore that Ace was the first magician to start practicing time magic!

Soon, the magic of "time stagnating" disappeared, and thousands of New Delhi soldiers flew out in an instant.

Some fell to the ground and were quickly trampled to death by the galloping horses, while others hit other soldiers and fell together. Some are even unlucky. They were directly hit by the weapons of their companions and died on the spot!

For a while, the array was destroyed again!

Taking advantage of the space jump, Ace suddenly retreated from the army and stood hundreds of meters in front of the army as if he had never moved before.

The commander looked scared. Although he had heard that Ace killed people like a ghost before, he didn't pay much attention to the claim at the time. How can you not be shocked and frightened when you see this with your own eyes now?

Ace smiled calmly at the Commander, "What, do you still want to continue?"

The commander slowly recovered from his fear, and his eyes became fierce.

At this point, if you choose to retreat directly, you may not lose much. But if you choose to go on the offensive, not a single one of these 100,000 soldiers will leave alive!

After hesitation, there was a hint of madness in the commander's eyes.

Although Ace was still some distance away from him, his sharp eyes could still detect the eyes of the strange man.

Ace had a very familiar feeling with this expression. He saw another man in his eyes, and he was Terrella, the mad king of the Firmament.

Seeing such an expression, Ace knew that today's 100,000 troops would not retreat again! They decided to fight to the end!

Ace's mind suddenly changed and he began to weigh the pros and cons!

If he really wanted to fight hard, Ace could only choose to let the Knight of Shine lead the soldiers guarding the city to leave as soon as possible.

Until then, Ace seems to be using his own strength to try the outcome of the battle!

After all, he is fighting the entire army of 100,000 with the strength of one person!

Ace turned around and whistled in the direction of Nameless City. Soon, there was a whistle, and it was a response!

The commander is not stupid. After seeing the soldiers of Nameless City begin to evacuate, he knew that Ace was retreating!

He sneered and said, "What? Are you scared? I know it's impossible to defend the city, so you're going to give it up?"

Ace just looked coldly at the New Delhi army in front of him and didn't answer.

In fact, he was disappointed. If he retreats like this, he will not only lose a dozen cities, but will also affect the morale of the army.

However, he didn't want to gamble more with the lives of more soldiers!

Ace didn't expect the enemy commander and Trek he encountered today

Pull is the same. They're all crazy!

Ace can conclude that the initial order of this New Delhi army was not to retake the city, but to limit Ace's actions here, destroying the offensive that continued to the east.

But for some reason, the guy temporarily changed his mind and was ready to fight with all his might. Even if he is at risk of huge losses, he will fight Ace!

"Maniac! Another madman!" Ace felt helpless for a while. It seems that the idea of inducing New Delhi to continue to provide more support will need to be postponed for a while!!

The commander still had blood in his mouth. It was clear that he had been wounded again in that short battle.

But he didn't care at all, just wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve, laughed coldly twice, and shouted, "Kill this traitor and avenge the hero of the empire!"

The soldiers running at full speed quickly rushed to Ace. At this point, he could no longer use time stasis and could only use his dark mage's abilities against them.

He originally wanted to use space jumping to send some enemy troops hundreds of miles away, but this would consume a lot of mental power, which was very disadvantageous for him who needed to fight for a long time!

As a result, he eventually abandoned the idea and prepared to use dark magic against his enemies.

Soon, the first warrior rushed to Ace. He roared, jumped to his feet, and slashed with his greatsword. Ace could feel that the power behind the greatsword was very powerful.

Although he now has the power of a great mage, his physical toughness still can't compare to that of a warrior, so Ace chose to dodge.

He appeared behind the general, flashed his body, and then slammed his fist into the general's back.

The warrior split the air with a sword, and he moved quickly. Wanted to swing his greatsword backwards and horizontally, but even if he was fast, it couldn't be as fast as Ace's fist!

As soon as the fighter moved, he felt as if he had been hit by a sharp rock in his back. In an instant, there was a sharp pain all over his body, and his bones were almost scattered.

He snorted, and the whole person was suddenly knocked unconscious. As he landed, he looked up at Ace with fear and doubt in his eyes.

Of course he knew Ace's reputation, but he didn't. Ace's physical strength should not be underestimated. This blow may make him unable to stand up for a while!

More roars came from behind Ace, but he didn't look back, mouthing a spell before shaking his hand.

Those soldiers who rushed a few meters behind Ace were immediately entangled in countless dark swamps and could not move forward.

Hundreds of soldiers were trapped, and the front-line formations suddenly stopped. The captain yelled, "All magicians, kill him!"

Under the command, countless colorful lights flickered, and all kinds of magic shot out in the direction of Ace.

Ace walked around at breakneck speed. Almost all of the magic fell to the ground and didn't hit Ace.

At this time, the commander also rushed to the ground. He stepped on the ground with his right foot, and suddenly a large pit appeared on the ground. The rocks are broken and the dust is flying. Flying into the air, the long sword in his hand immediately stabbed down!

Ace didn't panic when he faced the sword. The dagger in his hand was slightly above the tip of the sword, the position changed, and then he rubbed shoulders with Ace.

But the general-level commander, his strong body, suddenly hit Ace.

Ace dodged, and the commander landed smoothly. At the moment after landing, his feet began to exert force, and the ground was again smashed by him.

When Ace's sword fell behind him, the commander attacked again.

The magic blessing on the longsword triggered, and flames shot straight into Ace's face. Ace's figure was like a ghost, and he retreated more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and the flames missed again.

With a "bang", the commander still did not give up, but shortened the distance between them with explosive steps.

This time, Ace didn't quit again. He is now the strength of a great mage, so there is no need to be too afraid of this general, unless he is at the peak of the general.

However, judging from the short battle just now, this captain should not have such strength!

Therefore, when the Commander approached, Ace recited the incantation in advance, and then whispered, "Dementor!"

The commander suddenly froze on the spot, swaying his body slightly, shaking his head, and looking like he was going to fall to the ground at any moment.
