Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1776: Chapter 1778: Flames of War

The infiltrators, a special unit of the Human Empire, perhaps in Ye Luo’s eyes, they should be known as elementalists, albeit a unique kind of combat stealth elementalists!

Because these elementalists are cultivated specifically for battle, and their combat style is not as comprehensive as true elementalists, but rather exists in a streamlined form!

Combat elementalists, Demon Swordsmen!

It can be said that this time, the enemy dispatched their most elite soldiers to execute this invasion plan!

This also indicates that they are determined to succeed!

Merely witnessing the combat elementalist, the squad leader immediately understood that this time, things were not going to be simple!

”Everyone, cover me, we must activate the formation!”

The squad leader shouted, and instantly, the remaining people at the outpost rushed forward without hesitation; they knew what needed to be done.

The reason being, they had drilled for this countless times already!

Facing a desperate situation, their only mission was to activate the formation at all costs!

The squad leader charged out, rushing toward the formation while others quickly followed behind him!

Suddenly, another attack came!

An attack that could not be blocked, an assault that could not be withstood!

If that attack struck the squad leader, the result would be inevitable.

Yet the squad leader showed not a hint of hesitation and continued to charge forward rapidly!

Suddenly, beside the squad leader, a soldier sped up without hesitation!

He actually chose to use his body to shield the squad leader from the attack!

It’s known that given their power, being hit by a combat elementalist was a sure death!

However, there was no hesitation, not one bit of reluctance, even others also with an air of inevitability!

For the mission, at all costs, they had guarded this place for so long, just for this moment, wasn’t it?

One by one, soldiers sacrificed themselves, using their bodies to block lethal attacks for the squad leader, ensuring he could ignite the formation.

Because they clearly understood, igniting the formation would save more people from being ambushed.

But the enemy came prepared, and with so few of them, how could they possibly stop it!

Midway, the squad leader was hit by an attack, falling unwillingly, even in death, his gaze remained locked on that formation, his mission!

His mission to be carried out with his life, in the end, he still failed to complete it!

Behind him lay rows of fallen soldiers, all guardians of this outpost!

And now, they indeed perished alongside this outpost!

...

Of course, such an attack couldn’t possibly be isolated to just the first outpost!

In fact, the entire border had already erupted in invasion, the enemy was already prepared!

Moreover, this time, it was a combined operation by the Commerce Alliance, so the enemy’s numbers and strength were sufficient to launch an all-out attack!

The entire Western Frontier battlefield was engulfed in flames at this moment.

Fortunately, eventually, one outpost managed to sound the alarm because coincidentally, when the attack arrived, a soldier was right beside the formation. Although the enemy had launched a surprise attack against him as well, he managed to send out a warning before his death.

”Invasion! How is it possible!”

The commander of the Jade Legion was extremely shocked, after all, the Western Frontier had been peaceful for a long time.

But the reality had already occurred, leaving him no room for doubt and hesitation.

At each outpost, roughly half of the Jade Legion’s manpower was allocated, along with soldiers for transmissions and other tasks, as well as those responsible for logistics.

Actually, the commander now had only about three thousand troops at his disposal!

After all, their mission was to discover the enemy and promptly raise the alarm, not to fight!

But now, they had no choice but to fight.

Because the enemy’s invasion was far too sudden, leaving them completely unprepared. The entire Western Frontier was utterly unprepared!

”Quick, all dispatch riders, logistics personnel, go out and notify everyone to evacuate, tell them this is not a drill, it’s a real invasion!

Everyone else, follow me to hold back the enemy, to buy time for the people to evacuate!”

The commander issued an order many would dread to give, after all, he had only three thousand men!

And since the enemy’s invasion was premeditated, they must have a large number of troops and immense power, just with these three thousand men, it was essentially fighting a losing battle!

And indeed, in this instance, the enemy had dispatched a full six hundred thousand troops!

Moreover, these six hundred thousand were just the vanguard; it’s known that the Commerce Alliance intended to use the Western Frontier as their main breakthrough point, meaning the main forces were certainly there!

And those attacking the outposts were merely the vanguard scouts used to clear a path!

Three thousand men trying to block them was effectively a death wish!

...

Quickly, the three thousand men were fully assembled, yet none showed even the slightest hint of fear.

Even though they were keenly aware of what they were about to face!

”Form ranks to repel the enemy!”

Upon the commander’s order, the three thousand men swiftly assembled into formation.

There were no fortifications here because their legion’s mission was to scout for enemy threats, not as the main combat forces.

But now, they had no choice!

The enemy’s assault was far too abrupt, behind them were no fewer than hundreds of thousands of border populace needing protection if they retreated, there would be no one to safeguard these civilians!

The commander was indeed afraid of dying because he knew more than ordinary soldiers!

But being afraid of death doesn’t mean running away, does it?

No, he couldn’t do that, they were a legion personally forged by Princess Yu, completely understanding what duty and honor mean!

Running away was something they absolutely couldn’t bring themselves to do!

At this moment, the commander even wished the enemy would come later!

Because as long as they completed the cover task, their withdrawal would be justifiably warranted.

However, things did not go as he hoped, in the end, they didn’t get that moment, because the enemy had already arrived!

Gazing at the overwhelmingly dense crowd ahead, both the commander and ordinary soldiers alike felt a sense of despair!

Since their presence was uncovered, the enemy no longer concealed themselves, so now standing before these three thousand men was the entire vanguard army!

Over ten thousand was beyond counting!

The saying is, when over ten thousand are gathered, it’s almost impossible to count them.

Moreover, this time, it wasn’t ten thousand, but a full six hundred thousand!

Indeed, the vanguard army of six hundred thousand had gathered and was arrogantly invading!
