Chapter 507
Chapter 507: Battle started! The moment they fought, they would be pleasantly surprised!
In the desert, two armies covered the sky and earth like two carpets.
This was a huge war!
It was much larger than the war that the Flame Empire had launched before.
Moreover, the Purple Cloud Empire’s soldiers were powerful, and there were also many of them. This was the first great empire that the Flame Empire faced!
“Your Highness the Son of Saint, my God still hasn’t responded, but five of my God’s gods have already responded. They will release their power when needed.”
The archbishop of the Purple Cloud Empire came to report.
This was the benefit of being the head of the Divine system.
When the kingdom of the Divine Masters faced a large-scale war, under normal circumstances, the Divine Masters would rarely be the first to lower his strength.
Instead, it was the other gods in the pantheon that first sent down their power to fight the enemy.
As for the war in the Heavenly Realm, it was usually not that fast.
Especially under such circumstances,
If the Purple Cloud Empire was strong and quickly took down a country, God’s estimation of that country would be far inferior to the God of the Purple Cloud Empire.
Of course, there might be exceptions.
If that God was strong, he might launch a divine battle against the gods of the Purple Cloud Empire in the Heavenly Realm!
If he was weak, he might just endure it!
Even if they were to launch a divine battle, they might not be able to do so quickly, because it would also take time to find the opponent’s position!
Just like back then, the five gods of the Xi Ling Kingdom and the Hun River Principality were in no mood to seek revenge for the Lord of Flame in the Heavenly Realm.
However, the Kingdom of Horton and the God of Saia of the Purple Gold Empire were searching for the Lord of Flame in the entire Heavenly Realm.
With different strengths, the choice was different.
This time, the Purple Cloud Empire came to attack the Eternal Night Empire, so they naturally recruited the troops of the surrounding kingdoms.
The kingdom around the Purple Cloud Empire was not weak. There was even a small empire smaller than the Purple Cloud Empire.
In other words, among the gods of the Purple Cloud Empire, there was a third-rank God.
The third-rank god might be a little weaker than Saia from the Purple Gold Empire.
It might be a God that had just advanced to the third rank, that is, a God that only had an eleventh ranked godhead and body.
Saia had already possessed a rank 12 godhead!
In terms of the army, the Purple Cloud Empire also recruited the army of the kingdom of gods and the army of the small empire.
The Purple Cloud Empire recruited eight kingdoms.
The number of troops that the Purple Cloud Empire had recruited from these eight kingdoms was not many, but they were all elites. The church and Royal armies of these eight kingdoms had been recruited. Just the armies from the eight kingdoms and that small empire were close to two million.
The Purple Cloud Empire had sent out more than a million elite troops!
In other words, the total number of Purple Cloud Empire’s troops was more than three million, which was more than twice that of the Flame Empire.
If it weren’t for the fact that there weren’t enough sand boats in the Purple Gold Empire, they could have even mobilized more troops.
An empire with a population of more than one billion, even with a 1% ratio of soldiers, could easily gather an army of ten million.
And 1%, this was a rather low percentage.
Of course, once the war began, the rest of their soldiers would definitely be transported over.
On the side of the Flame Empire, at the center were 500,000 orc soldiers and the Church’s army.
On the two wings were the elite royal army and a small number of Knights of the Temple.
The current orc warriors were terrifyingly strong.
Their equipment and food limited the strength of the orcs.
The orcs ate a lot, but in many orc countries, it would be good for the orcs to have enough food and clothing. As long as they were given high-calorie items, they would grow quickly.
And the equipment issue was not a problem for the Flame Empire.
In addition, Lin Yan’s Godhead’s mechanism would also bless these orcs regularly. This was the most important reason why the orcs’ warriors’ strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
The Flame of civilization also had a certain bonus. This bonus was mainly reflected in the crops, but it also had a certain effect on the citizens’ physical changes.
Even the orcs that were merged later had become quite strong.
All of them were able to display strength above rank three.
On the other hand, the royal army on the two wings had half a million soldiers. Their strength was not weak either. There were very few below rank one, almost all of them were above rank two, and there were plenty of ranks three or four.
Although the population of the Flame Empire was relatively small, it still had a population of 300 million. After nearly three years of full development, it was not difficult to gather such a powerful army!
Humans still dominated the orc warriors.
The human warrior was a ten thousand man battle formation.
However, from the looks of it, the battle formation of or not much smaller than the human battle formation.
There was no other way. They were so big.
Among the army of more than a million, 50,000 soldiers were supported at any time. In addition, the Flame Empire also built a heavy cavalry to cover the flanks.
As for the direct breakthrough, the Flame Empire would not rely on the heavy cavalry.
It wasn’t easy for a powerful orc warrior to break through the formation.
Moreover, there was even a few thousand Dwarves army in the army of the Flame Empire. These dwarves were born with tremendous strength, and they were on par with the bear warriors. In terms of flexibility, they were better than the bear warriors, and they were more useful on the battlefield.
Both sides sounded the battle horn at almost the same time.
Then, the battle formation on both sides began to move.
“Open the defense formation!”
In the army of the Purple Cloud Empire, the Son of Saint was commanding the war.
Following his order, a few soldiers instantly activated special equipment in the middle of each battle formation.
Following that, numerous virtual screens that were invisible to the naked eye enveloped the battle formations.
This was a defensive magic circle. Using magic crystals as energy was equivalent to a defensive barrier, but it could move, and could only defend against magical energy attacks.
Although he could not defend against magic that was too powerful, as long as he could block most of the magic, it was enough.
For example, the Sanctuary level of existence exchange, or the level of existence exchange brings the ripple effect.
The battles between empires, against powerful Magister, all had their methods.
“Command, open the defense formation!”
On the other side, Meng Ying also gave the order.
Not only did the Purple Cloud Empire have a defensive formation, but the Flame Empire also had one.
The method of making the defensive formation was kept secret, and it was not easy to make. It required a lot of energy. After a battle, the number of magic crystals consumed was terrifying.
Even the Purple Gold Empire could not prevent the imperial formation from covering the entire army.
However, the Purple Cloud Empire had this foundation.
The Flame Empire had this foundation.
The Flame Empire’s defenses were mostly made up of technology provided by Tina Empress. After being modified by Lin Yan’s godheads, they were mass-produced.
On the battlefield, thousands of defensive formations were erected at the same time.
Following that, the movement speed of the battle formation on both sides began to increase.
“Maintain the same speed!”
“Raise the shield, don’t lift it yet, conserve your strength!”
In every battle formation, some commanders kept using their words to stabilize their morale.
During the battle formation, these commanders were of great use.
For the battle formation, the most important thing was stability!
In order to be stable, everyone had to work together and think about it. This was the role of the commander!
“Huh, why are there so many orcs in the army?”
When the army of the Flame Empire entered, Son of Saint Purple Cloud finally realized this.
If this battlefield was not a desert, he would have discovered it long ago.
In the desert, the soldiers of both sides had stirred up a large amount of sand and dust. The sand and dust filled the air, blocking the line of sight. After more than ten kilometers, it was not particularly clear.
“This should be the orc kingdom to the west of the Endless Desert. It seems like a kingdom to the east of the Empire of Eternal Night has conquered the orc kingdom and allied with Medusa to attack us to assist the Empire of Eternal Night.”
The Church’s archbishop said.
“These orcs are just tall barbarians. They only know how to fight blindly. Even if they are reorganized, the short period of training cannot change their habits. They are no match for our elite soldiers on the battlefield.”
Next to Son of Saint Purple Cloud, there was an adjutant.
Son of Saint Purple Cloud shifted his gaze to the sky.
There were many mages in the sky, and there were also many flying ships.
“Gabriel, have you found the other party’s Sanctuary?”
Son of Saint Purple Cloud asked Gabriel, who was sitting in the middle of the sand boat.
“The opponent is on the flying ship in the sky. Don’t worry, Son of Saint. Once the opponent makes a move, I will make a move.”
Gabriel said.
Son of Saint Purple Cloud nodded and said to the three mages,” Please guard against the attacks of the gods.”
Those three Magister, heck, they were legendary rank Magister.
