Chapter 2735 The Contrast of Power
If it weren't for the considerable power of Bega's elemental energy, just one sweep of these few types of weaponry would have wiped out a large number of ordinary troops, making it difficult for them to maintain any fighting capacity.
Of course, the Bega army was not idle either. Huge, whistling shadows flew out from behind and headed towards the Panlong army's defensive fortifications.
This is a double-headed hinge, with two enormous wolf-tooth iron hammers connected by a fine gold chain. Once launched, the two giant iron hammers will pull each other and spiral forward, smashing whatever they encounter along the way, acting utterly unreasonable.
The iron hammer was still flashing with black light, clearly imbued with supernatural power. The walls of the Mingsha Forest Village, which other spells couldn't damage, were smashed into several craters by the double-headed hinge.
However, the Bega army was not too happy, because its experience in the past two weeks had taught it that this wall was not easy to break down.
The Singing Sand Forest is the last line of defense before Panlong City, and He Lingchuan will certainly do his best to make it impregnable. The valley was originally open, but there was a sand-proof dam here based on the difference in elevation of the hills. Panlong used it as a base to almost create a fortified wall. One of the main materials used in the construction was the Thousand Ying Furnace Ash given by the True Immortal Xiao Hanzi of Lingshan.
The Thousand-Eyed Treasure Furnace is one of Xiao Hanzi's natal magic artifacts. The ash inside has been repeatedly tempered by true fire over thousands of years. In addition to being incredibly sturdy, it has another wonderful use when used to build walls: it can grow rapidly on its own, as long as the energy provided is sufficient.
In layman's terms, as long as there is enough Xuanjing, it can quickly repair the damage on the wall.
This feature is really great. In battle, it is often difficult to repair city walls in time by manpower. First, there is not enough time, and second, the enemy will not give you a chance. Do you think you can easily repair the hole that the enemy has worked so hard to create? Wouldn't they have to launch a full-scale attack?
But if the healing of the city wall were fully automatic, it would save too much effort.
After more than half a month of fierce fighting, the stockade wall has stood firm, and Xiao Hanzi's furnace ash has played a significant role in this. Panlong has reinforced the stockade wall with many defensive formations and fortifications, making it look more like a dam.
It can be said that the stockade wall itself is a large-scale magical artifact, and because it is protected by the Yuan energy of the Panlong, it is not afraid of the bombardment of Bega's army.
Using the stockade walls as a base, Panlong was able to set up many restrictions on Chen En Cliff behind it, such as restrictions on escape, restrictions on flight, and solidification barriers.
Although these facilities are all major energy consumers once they are turned on, who cares, isn't this the final battle?
Panlong's generals also led their troops out to fight. Both sides not only had battle puppets like the Golden Armored Divine General, but also immortals and great demons appeared on the battlefield.
The production and operation of the Golden Armored Generals are extremely expensive, but Panlong has emptied its coffers this time, releasing twenty Golden Armored Generals at once. Although some of them are old ones that have been repaired and put back into the battlefield, and cannot compare to the dazzling appearance of the opposing side, their effectiveness on the hilly battlefield is still very real, especially in destroying enemy weapons, large vehicles, and fighting large monsters.
In addition, both the attacking and defending sides have immortals/demon immortals assisting them.
Before this decisive battle, there were eleven immortals in the Bega army and seven on the Panlong side.
Of these seven people, four came from Lingshan, and the other three came to Panlong on their own.
Panlong is not the only one in the human world determined to rebel against the Heavenly Demon.
At least in terms of combat ability at this level, Bega does not have an overwhelming advantage. Moreover, under He Lingchuan's careful coordination, the seven immortals performed their combat tasks in their respective positions with excellent results.
In the Panlong world, the spiritual energy concentration has only risen to the ancient level, allowing immortals to move freely, in just the last few days. And as everyone knows, a rapid increase in spiritual energy concentration inevitably brings about drastic changes in the nature of warfare and tactics. However, neither Gao Huaiyuan nor the other generals of Bega had any experience with this.
In the past four hundred years, Bega has never fought a battle with such abundant spiritual energy.
However, in the real world, this concentration of spiritual energy has persisted for many years, and the Nine Nether Emperor has plenty of experience in dealing with it.
Therefore, in terms of using power at the level of a sage, Bega was actually inferior to Tiger Wing General!
Putting aside other matters, in the Panlong Army, immortals/demon immortals were used as daggers to pierce through enemy formations, just like warriors.
As the power of primordial energy has evolved to the point that the supernatural abilities and techniques of immortals and cultivators are no longer as decisive in determining the outcome of a large-scale war as they were in ancient and medieval times.
In an era when the power of the Yuan Dynasty was not yet abundant, a few immortals or great demons could bring a small country to its knees. For ordinary soldiers and armies, their mere presence was enough to destroy the world.
But today, this situation has changed dramatically.
The elemental power of beings like Bega and Panlong can greatly enhance the resilience of individuals within an army against attacks from supernatural powers, spells, and even divine arts, providing a defensive boost. For instance, the fire dragon technique recently unleashed by the immortals of Bega's army, which could previously burn dozens of soldiers instantly, only managed to scald large blisters on the Panlong warriors after several leaps across the battlefield—painful, but not fatal.
Only one person was unlucky enough to be hit directly in the eye.
Furthermore, elemental power is the power of aggregation. This also manifests as the ability to share the damage from a single attack with the group, which is called damage sharing.
After the laws of heaven and earth were revised, supernatural powers and spells such as taking the place of others in death or injury, or sharing the damage, have become ineffective. Only Yuan Power can accomplish this.
Therefore, it is far more difficult for cultivators to directly kill soldiers on the front lines than before. The supernatural power unleashed may look impressive and can indeed instantly turn civilians into mincemeat and knock down soldiers on the battlefield, but those soldiers may get up and run away after a short while.
Yuanli (元力) was originally a powerful tool used by nations to combat supernatural forces.
However, the strength of immortals and demon immortals is undeniable; they would be outstanding even in an army. If He Lingchuan places them in suitable positions, they can still play a powerful role.
Therefore, at the beginning of this war, Panlong not only did not suffer losses, but also gained a slight advantage.
Even the immortals and demons of Bega dared not fly close to the walls of Mingsha Forest and Chen En Cliff, because the divine powers and arrows they shot out were too dense, and they would be turned into hedgehogs if they were not careful.
This thing is specifically designed to break supernatural powers.
The barrage of arrows imbued with powerful elemental energy has always been a nightmare for both immortals and demons.
But He Lingchuan also knew that everything has its limits.
The immortal from Panlong performed better than his opponent because his Tiger Wing General was a skilled commander.
The reason why Bega's immortals failed to inflict devastating damage on the Mingsha Forest defense line was because their numbers were limited.
But what if their numbers increase?
