Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1826: Chapter 1828: Border Legion

The two looked at each other, and only they knew the emotions in their hearts.

Of course, now is not the time to debate these things.

Ye Luo paused slightly and then said, ”These people are from the Commerce Alliance. The internal chaos of the Great Tang Empire, the foreign enemies of the Da Yue Empire, and even the turmoil in many surrounding countries are all caused by the Commerce Alliance. Today, they seem to want to kill me! Do not underestimate them, as they are all from the Eighth Region!”

If others heard that the enemy was from the Eighth Region, they might not remain calm.

But these Border Guards seemed as if they hadn’t heard anything at all!

From the moment they joined the Border Guard, they were continuously taught that the enemy they might face could come from anywhere!

So, no matter where the enemy comes from, to these Border Guards, there is only one word, fight!

...

”Listen up, people in front, we don’t intend to be your enemies. Hand over Ye Luo, and we will spare your lives!”

A soldier from the Commerce Alliance shouted loudly, his attitude extremely arrogant.

However, Ye Luo knew they had the qualification to be arrogant.

Truth be told, although the elite Commerce Alliance force now only numbered just over nine thousand, whereas the Border Guard boasted hundreds of thousands and possessed comprehensive offensive and defensive facilities, with the border walls being continuously improved since the establishment of the Great Tang Empire!

But if a battle really broke out, it would be uncertain if they could withstand the enemy’s attack!

Unfortunately, the Border Guards held their pride.

This pride was forged through centuries of desolate garrison duty!

It was exchanged with the blood and lives of countless predecessors of the Border Guard!

Now, facing the enemy’s provocation.

None of the Border Guards responded; they just silently prepared!

Ye Luo understood that this place had not yet submitted to him, so, naturally, he had no authority to command. After talking with Li Long, Ye Luo went to the wall with Ao Long. The Border Guards were willing to fight formidable adversaries to protect them, so Ye Luo obviously couldn’t flee alone at this time!

As for those Guards that Ye Luo had brought?

They were long dead...

”Looks like you are seeking death! Then, let me fulfill your wish!”

”Seventh Battalion, Eighth Battalion, break the city for me!”

At an order, two battalions charged forth!

The magical treasures in these two battalions’ hands were different from the others; they used a giant hammer!

It seemed their mission included breaking the city!

”Charge!”

A soldier from the Commerce Alliance suddenly leaped up, his hammer bursting out with a blinding light, then slammed it down toward the city wall!

With a thunderous boom, the Spirit Power Shield outside the city wall shook violently!

”Autonomous turrets, open fire!”

Li Long’s voice came from afar.

Immediately, countless autonomous turrets began to fire, spewing tongues of flame that, in an instant, wove a massive web of firepower.

Unfortunately, such attacks posed no threat to the enemy; most enemies didn’t even bother to take notice, as this kind of attack couldn’t even break their protective Spirit Shields!

This situation didn’t throw the Border Guards into disarray. Instead, the Spirit Power Cannons began their bombardment!

Simultaneously, puppets were swiftly released!

By now, the anti-flight array was activated, so if the enemy got too close to the city wall, they couldn’t fly.

Such restrictions don’t take into account anyone’s strength but once activated, no one can escape from it.

The enemy could only attack from the ground reluctantly.

Of course, having likely encountered such situations countless times before, they were chosen by the Commerce Alliance for their elite status!

Ye Luo did not take action since it was not yet time for him to do so. He couldn’t guarantee that the Border Guards could repel the enemy, so he waited. If the enemy breached the city wall, he would take action!

Countless puppets were dispatched, and the specially crafted ones from the Border Guards were quite powerful.

But since they were facing not ordinary enemies, the puppets were soon all destroyed!

Suddenly, countless small holes appeared midway up the city wall, not very big, and tubes of unknown purpose emerged from them!

Suddenly, these tubes spewed out thick mist!

The smoke didn’t linger in the air but fell directly to the ground.

Oddly, the mist slowly changed colors!

What is this?

Ye Luo was slightly taken aback, but soon realized.

It was poison mist!

Though formidable, the enemies couldn’t be invulnerable to toxins, especially those specifically targeting Spiritual Power!

There are countless exotic poisons in the world, and it’s said some people specialize in refining and making poisons, known as Poison Masters!

This time, surprisingly, the Border Guards possessed such a bizarre poison!

Once the poison mist touched down, it seemingly judged on its own and charged straight toward the incoming enemies.

With a visible speed, the enemies’ Spirit Power Shields began to rapidly dissipate, not corroding, but more effectively than that!

What was more, sometimes black lightning flashed within the poison mist!

This black lightning was incredibly terrifying because it shattered any Spirit Power Shield immediately!

However, while the poison mist could destroy the enemies’ Spirit Power Shields, it couldn’t harm their bodies.

Of course, the Border Guards were completely prepared; from the city wall fell attacks aimed precisely at enemies whose Spirit Power Shields were broken!

Perhaps because the Border Guards often encountered Demon Beasts.

The attacks were not based on Spirit Power but were sharp metallic spears!

These spears were specially crafted, extremely sharp, and aimed at the tough bodies of powerful Demon Beasts.

Using them against the Commerce Alliance members was more than enough.

After all, the bodies in the Spirit Martial Realm, though significantly strengthened, were still not as robust as Demon Beasts!

Finally, casualties appeared among the Commerce Alliance forces!

Ye Luo nodded slightly; the border walls had indeed been well-developed over countless years, with considerable financial and material investment, and they were quite well-prepared.

Of course, the Commerce Alliance could not be that easy to deal with. Even without carrying any heavy siege equipment, their strength alone was something to be reckoned with.

At this moment, Ye Luo noticed from afar that they were forming a strange formation, one where spiritual power was being continuously imbued. Soon, a massive golden axe appeared in front of everyone!

A giant axe? Do they intend to chop down the city wall with an axe?
