"Any who trespass on Great Yi's land… will be killed without mercy!!"
"**All soldiers, listen up! Deploy the God-Slaying Crossbows.
Target:
all enemies outside the Great Wall—open fire at will!"
"We've got enough bolts! Enough rune bombs! Enough crystal ammo for the rune cannons! Let loose!Anyone bold enough to violate Great Yi's borders must be seeking death.Even if they've eaten demon hearts, today they'll learn the true meaning of terror!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
On top of the Iron-Blood Great Wall, the soldiers' eyes burned with killing intent.Though the Great Wall Garrison was made up of regulars—many of them fulfilling military service—they were no less skilled than elite Fate Dynasty forces.With specialized war machines in hand, their combat strength was absolutely top-tier.
Brush!!
A crimson barrier suddenly appeared over the entire wall—it was the Iron-Blood Barrier.This barrier was part of the Iron-Blood Great Wall's evolution. It could now be activated independently around each war fortress, making energy management far more efficient.
If one fortress's barrier was exhausted, energy could be rerouted from other sectors to replenish it instantly.This adaptability had multiplied the Great Wall's effectiveness.
Then came the demons.
They came in all shapes—boar heads, leopard faces, tiger maws—visages twisted and terrifying.
But unlike ordinary beasts, these demons had intelligence and awakened bloodline abilities, giving them supernatural battle powers.
Roar!!
From the sea, waves of sea beasts surged forth.Driven by the demons, these were the vanguard cannon fodder—a beast tide used to pave the path with their corpses.
Though demons were greedy, they had intelligence.They would not waste their elites—only command enslaved sea beasts to charge first.
This control came from their shared lineage—demons evolved from feral beasts, and held unnatural dominance over them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Faced with the onrushing beast tide, the wall's soldiers responded without hesitation.
Countless battle arrows and bolts rained down like a hurricane.
The God-Slayer Crossbows fired dozens of bolts at once, forming stormlike waves.
In an instant, over a million arrows darkened the skies.
There was flame. Ice. Howling wind. Piercing gold light.
Each bolt was a rune-imbued war arrow, each one deadly.
The beasts, despite being manipulated, showed no fear—instead, they fought back savagely.
Using their bloodline powers, they dodged and deflected what they could.
But no matter their resistance, the endless rain of arrows overwhelmed them.
Squelch! Squelch! Squelch!!
Flesh torn. Limbs pierced.
Some beasts were incinerated midair. Others were frozen solid. Some were torn apart by golden energy. Some were shot in the throat, dying from poison.
Corpses fell like rain, blood soaking the sea.
But they did not remain to rot—instead, an invisible force absorbed them directly into the Iron-Blood Great Wall, turning the invaders into material to reinforce the wall itself.
In Great Yi, even death served the war machine.
"Fire!!"
"Again!! Don't stop! Slaughter them all! Exterminate the beasts and demons!!"
Shouts rang out across the Great Wall.
The soldiers used a three-layer arrow formation:
One unit fired
The second stepped in
The first reloaded
The barrage was endless, never ceasing for a moment.
"Deploy God-Slaying Ballistae!"
"Deploy bomb catapults!"
"Rune cannons—target the demon commanders behind the beast tide. Fire at will!"
The commanders issued orders swiftly.
In Great Yi, ammunition was never a concern.War machines were always loaded, meant to be used lavishly.All that mattered was maximum lethality.
Let steel and blood tell the enemy what it meant to wage war against civilization.
Huge ballistae fired bolts like divine spears, each the size of a war chariot.
They roared through the sky like thunder, leaving trails of sonic booms.
Wherever they landed, beasts exploded like glass, bodies torn to fragments.
Each bolt carved bloody canyons in the beast tide.
The bomb catapults resembled traditional trebuchets—but redesigned by the Heavenly Works Pavilion to be smaller, more powerful, and longer-ranged.
Instead of stones, they launched rune bombs.
Each tray held hundreds of bombs, which scattered in a wide arc—like flowers falling from the sky.
There was no targeting. Only mass destruction.
Yin-Yang Annihilation Bombs covered the battlefield.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Each detonation ripped through entire sections of the beast tide.Beasts turned to blood mist. The sea boiled red.
The rune cannons joined in next.
They resembled ancient Red-Cloth Cannons, but their barrels were etched with countless glowing runes.
Each cannon blast unleashed laser-like divine beams, with terrifying range and pinpoint accuracy.
When they hit the demon commanders, their bodies detonated like bombs, torn to pieces by pure energy.
These war machines gave Great Yi a natural edge in defense.
The enemy couldn't even reach the wall before piling up corpses.
The battlefield was painted in blood—the sea below a graveyard.
The Iron-Blood Great Wall devoured the dead, using their corpses as resources.
And this was only one of the four fronts.
"They're strong. So this is the strength of Great Yi's military…Not just in soldiers—but in war machines."
"Half of Great Yi's power lies in its technology.Before even reaching the wall, swathes of enemies are annihilated.This kind of power is a nightmare for any army."
"This… is civilization."
Those who had observed Great Yi's wars before were left speechless.
Human strength didn't just lie in flesh and blood—but in intellect.
War machines were the crystallization of wisdom.And only a highly advanced civilization could build such devastating weapons.
In Great Yi's wars, you saw not only iron and blood,but the majesty of civilization itself.
Meanwhile, in the Caribbean Sea, a new front erupted.
The pirates roared with bloodlust.
Unlike the demons, they didn't send beasts.
Instead, billions of pirate ships extended hideous cannon barrels—but these weren't ordinary cannons.
These were "Sea King Cannons", weapons fused with living sea creatures.
These cannons weren't metal—they were bio-organic artillery made from a rare sea creature called the Sea King Jellyfish.
Native to the Caribbean, this jellyfish was:
Transparent
Capable of fusing with objects
Able to imbue magical properties into whatever it merged with
Once fused with cannons, the jellyfish gave them the power to absorb aquatic spirit energy and fire elemental "Sea King Shells."
These shells had different effects depending on the fusion:
Water Spirit Bombs
Magma Shells
Lightning Plasma Charges
The pirates didn't just bring numbers.
They brought living weapons of oceanic horror.
