Chapter 830: Chapter 830
"Is the great war of the ancient countries about to begin? What do we need to do?"
This time, Du You finally showed his face. Seeing Du You’s youthful appearance gave the other party quite a shock. But then they recalled that wizards tend to have long lifespans, which can keep them looking young, so it wasn’t such a surprise after all.
"We are planning to launch an offensive from the front and need you to attack from the flank. As long as we can disrupt their arrangement, the pincer attack from both sides will surely lead to our victory. We will fulfill the conditions we promised you."
Du You nodded lightly, "That’s fine, but there’s no need for any complications; we’ll just launch a direct assault on the flank. With our limited numbers, they won’t be able to withstand the might of our magic." Du You displayed immense confidence.
The other side wanted to say something, but after opening and closing their mouth, they ended up staying silent.
Du You wouldn’t care about them, though. Instead, he led the two sisters, with a large number of Demon Extermination Spirits by their side, pressing forward and making their way to the vicinity of Gu Country once again. With such a large-scale operation underway, there was no way Gu Country couldn’t have known.
So, right from the start, the enemy was aware of the pincer strategy. But at this point, it was an open secret—there was nothing that could be done except to rely on pure strength in the face of confrontation.
"It’s going smoothly. They haven’t offered much resistance along the way; they just took all their people and left. Half of my Demon Extermination Spirits haven’t even seen action," Lin Yushi grumbled with pursed lips.
After these days of adaptation, the impact of such slaughter on them had diminished significantly.
"No matter, our ferocious reputation precedes us, so they naturally need to think of ways to deal with us. Look, the battlefield is likely to be just ahead," said Du You, pointing forward.
A large mountain lay before them, with only one path through the middle. It seemed they were unaware that he could travel long distances by flying.
On both sides of the mountain, numerous caves were densely scattered, hollowing out the peaks. Inside, a cold gleam flickered—a sure sign of war machines, with a variety of ballistas and stone-throwing machines ready for action.
There was also something Du You didn’t understand—a very strange Blade Launcher.
Du You could feel that the yet-to-be-fired blades contained immense power, which seemed very similar to Gang Qi but was somewhat different. This was definitely not the power of a wizard.
This world probably lacked real wizards, or maybe this world had not yet developed the capability to bring the wizards of legends and memories into reality; thus, they only existed within books and the imagination.
Behind the mountain path lay a temporarily reinforced wall, along with a large number of soldiers and quite a few Tian Gang Martial Artists.
"So, they were all waiting here for us. They don’t really think this can stop us, do they?"
"After all, Wu Country was blocked by such tactics, and it’s normal for Gu Country, being mountainous, to resort to this method," Lin Yucha whispered.
Du You casually smiled, "Regardless of their situation, in the end, we just need to launch a strong attack." Du You wasn’t planning on wasting time. An Energy Gathering Magic Cannon shot from his hands directly hit the city gates, breaking through them.
It couldn’t be helped. The city’s defence technology in this world hadn’t evolved, still using conventional construction methods. At best, the stones were of better quality, but that was it—they stood no chance against large-scale magic.
The enemy obviously knew this, so they never even considered that the city gates would hold up. After breaking the gates, Du You discovered massive rubble had already blocked the entrance on the other side.
At the same time, a variety of ready-to-launch weapons lined the peaks on both sides. Even the soldiers behind had scattered, taking refuge in air raid shelter-like places, apparently anticipating Du You’s Destruction Flames.
That wasn’t unusual since it wasn’t the first time he had used his magic.
"Heh, let’s fight," Du You chuckled. The terrain also suited him well. He stood still, and nobody knew what he was doing. But soon, the left cliffside began to change.
Stones tumbled down, and the collapsing area grew wider and wider. In many places, the rocks sandified and collapsed. Du You had already sent the Death Scorpions there.
The Death Scorpions, though only tier three and perhaps not strong in head-to-head combat, were quite adept at handling such rocky terrain.
On the other side, the mountain rocks also started falling continuously, quickly leading to a landslide, which happened to be right above where the city walls were. On this occasion, it was Du You’s Death Gorillas at work.
The Death Gorillas could control the forces of the earth; albeit not very powerful, given enough time to gather energy, they were formidable. Gu Country suffered greatly from not understanding the capabilities of Du You’s pets or the extent of their powers.
Many of the war machines hadn’t even been utilized before being destroyed, along with the city, which was buried.
"Damn it, what is the intelligence department doing? Why do you know nothing about the enemy’s capabilities?" the commander roared in anger. Without even starting the battle, his carefully arranged defences had been demolished, losing a third of his soldiers.
"That’s not our fault. We had no idea a wizard could do this; they’ve never done it before," came the reply.
"It’s your fault regardless, and I will report this to His Majesty."
"Then please make sure you live to tell him, as we will no longer accompany you." With that, those men disappeared.
The commander himself couldn’t leave and, in a rage, kicked a stone at his feet and bellowed orders to prepare for battle. The Demon Extermination Spirits from the other side had already started charging toward them.
Because he destroyed their meticulous defenses, Du You found it very easy to cut through. The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs led the charge at the forefront, and the soldiers within a large radius found their physical strength and hydration depleting rapidly.
If they couldn’t protect themselves with Gang Qi continuously, they’d lose their fighting capacity in just a few minutes. On the battlefield, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs’ warfare-level destructive power was fully displayed, leaving the enemy utterly helpless.
Meanwhile, Du You and the two sisters merely followed behind the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, hunting their targets with various skills.
Barging through everything, Gu Country’s defenses couldn’t stop them. However, due to the mountainous terrain, Du You still took half a month to advance to the capital of Gu Country, which by then was in utter chaos.
Apart from the army at the borders of Wu Country, which was still confronting the enemy, all other nearby forces had been recalled within the nation’s capital. By the time Du You arrived, the entire capital had turned into a fortress of war, bristly like a hedgehog.
"All those Blade Launchers, I didn’t get a chance to test last time. I wonder how strong they really are." Du You’s own combat power had been growing day by day through the unceasing battles. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
