All of Great Yi's military legions had long been fully prepared.Inside the War Soul Battlefield, countless soldiers had waited with clenched fists and burning hearts. They yearned to march into battle, to contribute their lives to Great Yi. Even if they were to die on the battlefield—it would be a glory eternal.
They had waited too long for this moment.
Seeing their homeland besieged and unable to act—this torment was unbearable.Death in battle was their duty, their honor.
Within the War Soul Battlefield, billions of soldiers stood in perfect formation.
Armor on their bodies, weapons in their hands—ready to deploy at a moment's notice.
"By decree of the Sacred King and the authority of the Commander:
The Vermilion Bird Legion shall follow this commander to the Northern Front, to battle the undead!"
As Yang Ye stepped into the War Soul Battlefield, a Vermilion Bird Command Token appeared in his hand.
Only with this Tiger Talisman could a legion be mobilized—this was the iron law of the military.Not even the legion commander could bypass it.
Those who disobeyed?
→ Punishable by military law.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
The million-strong Vermilion Bird Legion erupted in ecstasy.They had waited too long for this order.
Without hesitation, they followed Yang Ye through the Rainbow Bridge, streaking through the skies toward the Northern Front.
"Black Tortoise Legion, follow me to the Southern Front!"
"Azure Dragon Legion, to the Eastern Front!"
"White Tiger Legion, move out!"
One by one, the commanders entered the War Soul Battlefield, leading their respective legions to the frontlines.
Even Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan, and other women of command entered the fray—Because in times of national peril, there was no difference in status.Wearing battle armor, they were simply soldiers of Great Yi.
March! March! March!
Legion after legion stepped out of the War Soul Battlefield.Across the territory of Great Yi, one could see rainbow-colored light tearing through the void—Each streak filled with overwhelming battle intent, descending upon the warfronts.
In the blink of an eye, the Four Divine Beast Legions, Four Destruction Legions, Five Elemental Legions, Twelve Zodiac Legions, Seven-Color Legion, Immortal Thorn Legion, and even the Heavenly Calamity Legion (which had not yet fully returned) were all deployed.
A full-scale mobilization. Dozens of millions of elite troops.
"By royal decree:
Those ranked in the Martial Examination of Great Yi may enter the War Soul Battlefield, select 500,000 troops, and receive a Blood-Soaked Battle Banner.They may join any of the four major warzones to fight invaders.Those who distinguish themselves in battle will be formally appointed and titled."
An internal official carried this decree into the War Soul Battlefield.
Immediately, the gathered talents were overjoyed, hearts pounding with excitement.
"I've waited too long for this day!"
"I learned the arts of war for this!For the Sacred King—for Great Yi—I would gladly die!"
"These invading aliens dare cross our borders? Let them taste death. That's my gift to them."
There were hundreds of such talents in the War Soul Battlefield—some were famous historical generals like Han Xiong, Di Qing, and Han Shizhong, others had risen from Great Yi's civilians.
Many were on par with any general from history.
Now, they had a chance to prove themselves in real combat.
Each one was allowed to command 500,000 soldiers—A test of strategic and leadership ability.
This was a real battlefield—a trial by fire.
"Han Xiong, receive the Tiger Talisman."
A eunuch presented a tray holding the temporary command token.
It was valid only for this battle—miss the chance, and it meant nothing.
"Yes!"
Han Xiong stepped forward, body trembling.
He had never relied on his son, Han Qinhu—a Zodiac Guardian.
He was a father—this was about his own honor.
"Li Xiangong, receive the Tiger Talisman."
"Liu Shouyi, receive the Tiger Talisman."
"Wang Qingquan, receive the Tiger Talisman."
"Zhang Zhongshan, receive the Tiger Talisman."…
One by one, names were called.Each general selected their ideal troop composition:
"I want 200,000 cavalry, 100,000 crossbowmen, 100,000 shield soldiers, 100,000 spearmen."
"Give me 200,000 shield soldiers, 200,000 archers, 100,000 divine riflemen."
Great Yi's soldiers were pre-classified by specialty, so organizing legions took only moments.
Each general received a Blood-Soaked War Banner, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and charged into battle.
Over 1,000 Tiger Talismans were issued.
At 500,000 troops per command—500 Millions troops were deployed in this wave.
Across Great Yi, the War Soul Battlefield released wave after wave of soldiers.
At the same time, in the various war zones, the situation was growing perilous.
The Bohai Region
Massive hordes of demonic beasts surged forward.They drove beast tides as cannon fodder and struck the Iron-Blood Wall with countless divine abilities.
The Iron-Blood Barrier was already dimming, flickering under relentless assault.
Among the enemy were Stage 4, 5, 6, even Stage 7 demons—not mere beasts, but creatures of divine magic and armaments.
"Kill! Break through the wall! I just killed a Great Yi soldier, and I felt my power surge!"
"Don't fear—we are the chosen of fate!"
"Great Yi can't withstand our charge—attack!"
Their roars shook the battlefield.
"The barrier's broken! Brothers—prepare for a blood battle!"
"Heaven and Earth are heartless—Humanity shall rise!"
"War! War! War!!"
The defenders shouted back with unyielding resolve.
Then—a rainbow light tore through the skies.
"He who offends the might of Great Yi—no matter how far—shall be slain!Snow Rabbit Legion—kill!!"
Descending from the heavens—was the Snow Rabbit Legion.
Their soldiers wore snow-white armor, riding towering blue moon demon rabbits.
On their backs:
Godslayer Crossbows.
In their hands:
crescent-shaped Snow Moon Demon Blades, dual-edged, capable of cleaving and reaping like scythes.
The crossbows unleashed a storm of arrows, then the rabbits stomped down like thunder.
One demon's head was crushed into mush. Another had its chest shattered, spewing blood.
"How can this be?!"
"Rabbits—why are you so savage?!"
"I'm a bunny too, you monsters!"
The Snow Rabbit Legion caused havoc among the demons.
"Snow Rabbit Legion, charge!!"
Commander Xue Kunlun gave no mercy.The rabbits burst forward—fast as lightning—heads flew beneath blades of moonlight.
Another rainbow flashed.
"War Tiger Legion—kill!!"
Wang Dahu's War Tiger Legion emerged—riding ferocious war tigers, radiating beast king dominance.
Their roars surged—and so did they.
Soon, the Twelve Zodiac Legions all descended—plunging into battle, throwing the enemy into chaos.
From atop the walls, the defenders fired Godslayer Crossbows, raining death upon the enemy.
"What's going on?! Great Yi dares deploy its army like this?!"
"They think we're just going to take it?!"
"Fine—no more walls to protect them. Let's slaughter them all!"
The demons were shocked and furious.
They hadn't expected Great Yi to counterattack in force.
They were sieging—yet Great Yi had chosen to go on the offensive?
This was not fear.This was total war.
