Chapter 939: Chapter 939

"The battle has started, the battle has started, our Ice-armored Warriors up front have made contact with them. Good, they can hold the line. We have a great chance of winning this time," someone shouted loudly.

In the camp, there was a large screen showing the battle unfolding in the front. Others were watching the battle through crystal balls or other means. It wasn’t just Du You who had the ability to watch the fight.

Besides that, other academies were also broadcasting the battle live or through relay, and journalists were busily covering the event. Such a grand battle wasn’t something you could witness all the time, and it was even rarer for it to be publicly open for interviews. Such scenes of tier five forces clashing in group battles were not something people could see on a normal day.

Even ordinary people who didn’t usually care much about these matters had put down whatever they were doing to watch the battle.

This battle had captured the attention of almost everyone in the Capital.

Meanwhile, the battlefield wasn’t going to pause just because of the attention it was getting elsewhere. The moment the two sides collided, the Giants’ fists struck the bodies of the Ice-armored Warriors. But the Giants, whose strength was weakened, had much less power than before.

The Ice-armored Warriors braced themselves against the ground and surprisingly held their ground, even though cracks appeared in their ice armor. Then, the Warriors thrust their long swords fiercely, creating scars on the Giants’ bodies.

The Flame Giants were powerful, but the Ice-armored Warriors had strong defenses, and their ice powers somewhat restrained the Flame Giants, making the battle seem evenly matched.

In the sky, the swords of the Sword Cultivators rained down, creating a barrage like a downpour.

Several Flame Giants were severely injured on the spot, and one unlucky one even died in the first wave of attacks. Though the achievement was slightly less, the act still spurred a roar of cheering.

Just then, right as the first charge was stopped, the Giant Sword Warriors rushed past the Ice-armored Warriors, stabbing fiercely into the formation of the Giants, like two long spears thrusting forward.

"Not bad; the situation is much better than we expected. Perhaps there’s a chance of victory," said Li Daxian, grasping his sword. The two of them hadn’t made a move yet since they didn’t know if they could win this battle, so they needed to conserve their strength.

On one hand, it was to cover the retreat later, and on the other hand, it was for the final escape. The recruited Warriors could die, but they didn’t want to throw their lives away.

The battlefield shifted in an instant as forty Ice Thorn Dragon Knights suddenly leapt into action from the rear. The Ice Thorn Dragons, stepping on the air and leaving a trail of ice, accelerated through the sky.

Almost instantly, the fiercely quick Ice Thorn Dragon Knights pierced the bodies of the Flame Giants with their long spears. Then, the Ice Thorn Dragons beneath them opened their mouths, spewing forth a breath of icy air, freezing Giants one by one, instantly killing over a dozen and severely injuring many.

"Good, truly worthy of a top-tier branch of the armed forces. Those forty Ice Thorn Dragon Knights, and the Ice Thorn Dragons beneath them that are also tier five peaks, are like adding forty tier five fighting powers," said Director Wang, a bit belated in his realization. It couldn’t be helped, since the knights and their mounts acted as one, making it impossible to calculate separately.

A single charge and the advantage of the Flame Giants evaporated. But then, relying on their massive size, the Giants solidly secured their defensive line. Flames emanated from their bodies, burning outside.

Different Flame Giants simultaneously released flames, turning the ground into a domain of fire, with the cold having less and less effect on them. Although this consumed more energy, the Flame Giants slowly recovered from their inferior position.

A fireball blasted forth, and suddenly a Knight had an ice shield in hand, blocking the fireball. With a flick of the sword, an icy blade cut a Flame Giant in half.

Then, a massive wave of fireballs flew at them, with over a dozen attacking simultaneously, engulfing the Knight, who emerged as nothing but charred remains. So many tier five fireballs landing meant that even the Ice Thorn Dragon Knights couldn’t withstand them. These attacks might not have had the visual and auditory effects of massive Magic, but the power and rules contained within were totally different matters.

The vicious battle reached a fever pitch from the start. Half an hour into the battle, both sides had lost more than half their forces. But for tier five, as long as they weren’t dead, this amount of time wasn’t enough to deplete much of their strength.

"The situation is tense; our chances of winning don’t seem very high, but neither do our chances of losing. If we keep fighting , in the end, it’s very likely we’ll both suffer heavy losses, and we might end up worse off," one remarked. Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

"You’re right, but the Flame Giants won’t retreat, only we can. In this situation, there’s no need to hold back any longer."

As he spoke, Director Wang pulled out a rune stone and crushed it forcefully. Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, filled with thunder and lightning. In an instant, a thick white bolt of lightning struck down from above, hitting a Flame Giant directly and turning it into charred remains. Then, the unspent electrical energy jumped around, killing over twenty Flame Giants in one go.

"You’re correct, we can’t hold back. It’s better to win this battle in the end."

Previously, because the gap was significant, the two didn’t have much confidence. But during the subsequent battle, the performance of the Ice Thorn Dragon Knights was too impressive, truly worthy of level 50 tier five max-level warriors.

With the scrolls they had prepared beforehand, they could actually fight the Flame Giants to a standstill. It is worth noting that the strength of the Flame Giants was more potent within their territory.

Li Daxian also took out a magical item he had been reluctant to use, a small flying sword.

The sword was thrown out and rapidly grew larger in the air, also splitting up. Eventually, hundreds of giant flying swords formed, shooting directly at the Flame Giants. This time, they only killed about a dozen Giants, but many were injured.

One can’t say that each Giant was hurt, but most of them now had wounds, and the kind that bled ceaselessly.

In an instant, because the two masters acted, the balance was broken. Du You was also startled; during the previous bouts, Director Wang could only handle two Giants at full strength, it seemed that was just his normal fighting capacity.

These old masters, who knew how long they had lived, who knew what they carried on them. The power displayed by this magical item far exceeded their own, showing the true depth of their resources.

Of course, after using up this item, they believe the academy will surely reimburse them, and they won’t miss out on the benefits.
