I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 171 Support, Devastating

Along the vast border of the Longyuan Dynasty, the flames of war raged, and the smoke of battle, like a thick haze, permeated every inch of land, lingering for a long time.

The Izumo Empire's meticulously planned surprise attack, like a sudden and violent storm, mercilessly swept across this once peaceful territory.

Thousands of well-trained and highly skilled cultivators surged forward like an unstoppable tide.

Compared to this, the military force that the Longyuan Imperial Dynasty deployed here seemed insignificant.

The fortifications were on the verge of collapse under the enemy's fierce attack, and the soldiers fought desperately.

However, due to the huge disadvantage in numbers, they gradually became unable to hold on, and signs of collapse appeared in many places along the defensive line.

The entire battlefield descended into bloodshed and chaos, with shouts of battle and screams of agony mingling together.

Meanwhile, in the border region adjacent to the Golden Goose Empire, the same tragedy was unfolding.

The Golden Goose Empire seized the opportunity presented by the Longyuan Dynasty's predicament of being attacked from both sides and launched a war.

For a time, the area was engulfed in flames of war, and the situation was extremely precarious.

The Longyuan Dynasty's army had to divide its forces to resist, further dispersing its already limited strength and making it difficult to support both the front and rear.

Meanwhile, the troubles on the other side of the Ruolan Empire have not been resolved, and it is impossible to spare even a single soldier from the Ruolan Empire to support the border where the war is raging.

In order to cope with the crisis of being attacked from both sides, the Longyuan Dynasty had no choice but to do everything in its power and squeeze the war potential of the entire country to the limit.

A large number of reserve troops were urgently conscripted, and material reserves were depleted in a short period of time, leaving the people living under the shadow of war.

Even so, facing powerful enemies from two directions, the situation remains extremely critical.

It's like a crumbling building, ready to collapse at any moment in a storm.

"When will reinforcements arrive? We really can't hold on any longer!"

On the battlefield at the border of the Izumo Empire, a heavily wounded late-stage Golden Core cultivator leaned against a boulder stained with blood, shouting hoarsely.

His face was blackened by the smoke of war, his armor was tattered, and his shocking wounds were so deep that bone was visible. Blood kept seeping from the wounds, staining the ground beneath his feet red.

His once resolute eyes were now filled with heaviness and despair. Looking at the few remaining cultivators around him, all equally exhausted and wounded, he felt a mix of emotions.

Those comrades who once fought alongside him and laughed together are now either lying dead or critically wounded and dying; very few remain.

From some point onward, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly dire, with their own Golden Core Realm experts falling one after another under the enemy's relentless attacks.

Now he is all alone, holding his ground in solitude.

Those late-stage Foundation Establishment experts who could restrain Golden Core Realm experts were also constantly being reduced in the fierce battle, and now only two remain.

Their eyes revealed endless exhaustion and resentment, yet they still stubbornly gripped their weapons, ready to face the next round of battle.

Meanwhile, the enemy on the other side surged in like a tide, numbering over a hundred, with well-organized formations, excellent equipment, and high morale.

Such a huge disparity in strength made it impossible for the survivors of the Longyuan Dynasty to organize any effective resistance.

Every confrontation was like throwing an egg against a rock, only resulting in more casualties.

To make matters worse, some mysterious and unpredictable individuals have appeared in the ranks of cultivators in the Izumo Empire.

These extraordinary individuals can perform unprecedented spells. Strange lights flash as they move their hands, and then they unleash powerful and eerie energy.

These spells are either as destructive as a raging storm or as elusive as ghosts.

The cultivators of the Dragon Abyss Dynasty were completely unprepared for this attack, and were thrown into chaos by the mysterious spells, suffering heavy casualties.

The already disadvantageous situation became even more vulnerable, like a wrecked ship about to sink in a raging storm, which could be swallowed by the sea at any moment.

At this critical moment, two powerful surges of true energy suddenly erupted on the battlefield.

This surge of true energy spread outwards like a surging sea wave, causing sand and stones to fly and dust to billow wherever it went.

Immediately afterwards, two figures emerged from the fluctuations of true energy like ghosts, their movements agile and their speed so fast that it was impossible to keep up with their movements.

Lin Yao was tall and imposing, dressed in a long black robe that fluttered in the wind, giving him a mysterious and powerful aura. He held a long sword tightly in his hand.

Yun Tong has a tall and slender figure, a gentle face, and eyes that reveal a sense of tranquility and profundity, as if he can see through everything in the world.

She wore a clean and tidy white long gown, which contrasted sharply with the bloody battlefield.

Strands of true energy emanated from his hands, seemingly weak, yet containing immense power.

The two worked together seamlessly, landing on the battlefield and quickly surveying the surrounding situation, gaining a general understanding of the battlefield's devastation.

"They've arrived! And two powerful figures, one a True Monarch and the other a Golden Core expert!"

The injured Golden Core Realm expert from the Dragon Abyss Dynasty was initially intimidated by the powerful aura of the two who suddenly appeared, and was startled.

He instinctively gripped his weapon tighter and immediately became alert.

Once he realized that they were his own reinforcements, his tense nerves relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he realized there were only two of them, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

This slight disappointment was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the glimmer of hope that had just been rekindled within him. Nevertheless, he asked with anticipation, "I wonder if there will be any reinforcements?"

His voice trembled slightly, a mixture of hope for more reinforcements to arrive and change this desperate situation, and fear of receiving a negative answer.

Yun Tong's expression was gentle and calm as always. She said softly, "I'm sorry, it's just the two of us for now."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly in the noisy battlefield.

These simple words, like heavy stones, instantly made the atmosphere, which had eased slightly due to the arrival of reinforcements, heavy again.

The Golden Core Realm expert thought to himself: He originally thought that the arrival of reinforcements would ease the situation, but now there are only two people, while the enemy still has three hundred.

Although these two appear to be exceptionally strong, with True Monarch-level experts and other powerful individuals, their opponents are by no means weak either.

Those who have survived to this day are at least Foundation Establishment experts. They have experienced countless life-and-death trials on the battlefield, have rich combat experience, and their strength should not be underestimated.

There were even half of them at the Golden Core stage and several late-stage Golden Core experts. These people were the backbone of the enemy force, ruthless and powerful.

This battle remains extremely difficult.

However, Yun Tong showed no panic or worry. A faint smile remained on her face as she gently asked the person beside her:

"Those below the Golden Core Realm need not be mentioned. Tell me the number of Golden Core Realm experts on the other side, especially the situation of late-stage Golden Core Realm experts."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with powerful confidence, as if in his eyes, enemies below the Golden Core realm were nothing but ants, and he could kill them instantly if he wanted to.

This confidence is not blind arrogance, but rather stems from the profound strength and rich experience he has accumulated over many years of battles.

"There are probably more than a hundred late-stage Foundation Establishment experts on the other side, including several late-stage Golden Core experts and about a dozen ordinary Golden Core experts."

However, there was one late-stage Golden Core realm expert and his team who seemed rather strange.

At this point, a look of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the late-stage Golden Core Realm expert on the battlefield. He described in detail what he had observed, his tone filled with doubt and vigilance.

"Each of them was equipped with a powerful magical artifact, which emitted a mysterious light and was clearly not an ordinary item."

Moreover, that late-stage Golden Core Realm expert could also use some unique combat techniques; as his hands moved, strange runes and lights would appear.

These runes and rays of light combined to form a mysterious and unpredictable power, seemingly not a power openly recognized in our cultivation world.

Hearing this, Yun Tong frowned slightly, realizing that this enemy was probably not simple. She pondered to herself:

There's such a peculiar power; it seems this battle is more complex than I imagined.

As for Lin Yao, who was standing to the side, he understood.

That late-stage Golden Core Realm expert was likely an intruder from a powerful Reincarnation Realm force, and perhaps used magic from another world.

The power within the cycle of reincarnation is complex and powerful, and they are interconnected, but many of them have innate limitations and requirements to be acquired.

This person can use spells that we have never seen before, so their methods must be extraordinary.

Although they are slightly stronger, we cannot let our guard down.

If you encounter single-target, curse-based, or defense-breaking attacks, you may find yourself in trouble.

These attack methods are often difficult to defend against, and once you are hit, the consequences are unimaginable.

This battle must be fought with utmost care.
