However, in order to gain a voice in the empire, the various nobles would use special means to strip away the core of the control array and take control of it themselves.
"As long as the core of the grand formation is controlled, and the nobles collude with each other, even the royal family will have no choice but to acknowledge their control over the border fortresses."
"The control of this border town should belong to He Yi, the eldest son of Earl of Flying Dragon and the leader of the Flying Dragon Knights."
The garrisons in the border fortresses are nominally under the command of the imperial family, but they are likely the private army of Earl Flying Dragon.
Luo Tian couldn't help but touch his chin.
"You mean, this guy named He Yi must have gotten into trouble, which is why the border city was breached?"
"Yes!"
Luo Tian nodded slightly and strode towards the border town.
Luo Tian and Ivyia acted swiftly at the Magic Train station, and with the battle in the city gates having just ended, the ogre army inside the city was unaware that the team sent to deal with the Magic Train had been completely wiped out.
The ogres who had just occupied the city walls and were cleaning up the corpses spotted Luo Tian and Ivynia immediately.
"Stop!"
Who are you?
"Where did General Herku go?"
"Close the city gates immediately!"
A series of chaotic sounds rang out on the city wall, and then the city gate that had just been opened slowly closed.
Luo Tian remained silent. Beside him, Ivynia waved her hand, and a tremendous force descended.
The earth collapsed with a deafening roar, and the sturdy city walls slowly cracked at that moment.
The ogre soldiers above were crushed to pieces, their mangled flesh embedded in the cracked city wall, which was now teetering on the brink of collapse.
Just then, a burst of light shone from the tower in the city gate, and then a huge protective array, based on the layout of the entire city gate, instantly enveloped the entire city, isolating Ivynia from gravity outside the city's protective array.
Luo Tian slightly raised his eyelids and said with great interest:
"This is the city's protective formation?"
"It must have been repaired by the alchemists in those ogre armies, so it shouldn't be able to connect with other towns and cities like before."
Luo Tian raised his right fist, nodded slightly, and said with a relaxed expression:
"It's better if we're not related!"
“I’m afraid that if I use too much force, I might smash through all eight city gates with one punch, which would be a terrible mistake.”
Chapter 144 The War Horn!
With a gentle slap forward, before the passive power of the Soul-Sucking Strike had even been released, the city's protective array seemed to sense a great threat, and numerous complex formations appeared from within the city.
At the very center of the city gate, atop the enormous tower, a massive beam of light shot straight into the sky, enveloping the entire world.
In that instant, it was as if all the space outside the city gates had been stripped away, turning into an invisible barrier standing in front of Luo Tian.
Ivynia sensed the protective array within the city gate before her. This powerful array, which had lasted for thousands of years, could even withstand the offensive of the allied forces of the five planes when it was in use. Even if a true god descended, he might not be able to break it easily.
But just in front of Luo Tian's outstretched right fist, the massive barrier constructed by the separation of space collapsed in the void with a deafening roar, and terrifying soul power swept past along with the shattered space.
A roar, seemingly emanating from an ancient dragon in the void, echoed across the entire battlefield, shaking the very fabric of the world.
The protective array of the border city gate shattered inch by inch, and the terrifying power of the Soul-Sucking Strike devoured everything in sight like a whirlwind.
The city gate that had stood there for over a thousand years was completely destroyed by that one punch.
Whether it was a powerful demigod general in the ogre army or an ogre priest who used bizarre methods to sacrifice his life, they were all reduced to ashes under that terrifying power.
The city gates were shattered, and the powerful aftershocks shook the entire dimensional battlefield, attracting countless gazes.
......
In the main battlefield of the interdimensional war, tens of millions of troops were arrayed on the Undead Plains, completely covering this vast and boundless plain.
Ogres, werewolves, vampires, winged people, merfolk... the allied forces, composed of a vast array of alien races, are almost all-encompassing.
At the forefront of the battlefield, Behemoths, hundreds of meters tall and with bodies like mountains, gazed ahead.
The enormous war beasts, carrying terrifying siege magic cannons, intimidated the soldiers of the Great Yin Empire.
Beneath the earth, burrowing worms with bodies stretching for kilometers are wreaking havoc on the earth's veins, frantically hollowing out everything beneath the ground.
Before this terrifying allied force of five planes, every living being seemed so insignificant.
Opposite to the allied forces of the five planes was a magnificent city gate built against the mountains. The huge city gate seemed to have been built for the legendary Titans. This single city gate stood in front of the allied forces of the five planes, blocking everything.
Above the city gate, amidst the dense clouds, a fierce wind swept through the dark clouds as if accompanied by a high-pitched roar of a tiger and a dragon, occasionally revealing a claw or half a scale, displaying a breathtaking aura.
The Yunlong and Fenghu legions have been stationed at the Undying Pass, confronting the main force of the five-dimensional allied forces for dozens of days.
Neither the Five Dimensions Alliance nor the Cloud Dragon and Wind Tiger Legions showed any intention of taking any action.
Both sides are well aware that the outcome of a single battle on the interdimensional battlefield could determine the course of the entire interdimensional war.
The five allied leaders, seated in their golden tents, all looked toward the desolate border, a sense of unease rising in their hearts.
The news that the ogre army had captured the border city gate half an hour earlier had invigorated them.
The most important thing about border fortresses is that they can be linked together for protection. The destruction of a fortress means that the pressure on their front lines will be greatly reduced.
Even the most important Undying Pass largely depends on the support of several other passes, each of which is an impregnable fortress.
If the allied forces of the five planes have the opportunity to break through more than half of the barriers, it will mean that they will be able to attack or defend under the protection of the city gates.
As a result, even the imperial family had to acknowledge their rule over the Underdark from the five planes.
This news even led them to prepare for a final offensive.
But just half an hour later, the earth-shattering explosion from the border town swept across the entire battlefield, casting doubt on their idea.
"Was it a nobleman who, dissatisfied with our capture of the border fortress, chose to attack us against our agreement?"
"No! There's only one desolate city on the other side of the border pass. It's not some wealthy city with powerful nobles in charge. Those nobles would never turn against us over such a trivial matter."
"Could it be that the three major religious sects have reacted?"
"No matter what, we must investigate this matter thoroughly first."
"I think the final offensive should be postponed!"
I second that!
"I agree!"
Amidst the exchange of opinions, the leaders of the five-dimensional allied forces quickly reached a consensus, and news of the impending postponement of the general offensive plan spread from the golden tent.
At that moment, the old werewolf high priest, who had been sitting silently with his eyes closed in the golden tent, spoke.
"Our Lord's divine decree proclaims that the border fortress has fallen, and the time for a general offensive has arrived. You need not hesitate any longer!"
The werewolf high priest's words immediately made the leaders of the five allied forces' expressions harden, and the ogre king spoke in a deep voice:
"Priest, I respect you as the High Priest of the God of War, and I admire your contributions to the unity of our five planes."
However, the command of the allied forces was decided by the five of us. You have no right to overstep your authority, not even as the high priest of the god of war.
Faced with the ogre king's rebuttal, the aged werewolf high priest let out a soft sigh:
"Only the god of war can guide us to victory in this war. Why don't you understand?"
The moment the words fell, a long horn sounded outside the golden tent, like a sacrificial chant from the ancient wilderness, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.
"war!"
"war!"
"war!"
A frenzied roar echoed across the entire battlefield, and the leaders of the five-dimensional allied forces immediately changed their expressions.
"War horns?"
"Damn it! Who announced the all-out attack?"
The ogre king frowned as he looked at the werewolf high priest. He took a step forward, his towering frame fixed on the high priest with eyes blazing with fury, and said:
"Are you looking for death?"
However, the werewolf high priest merely smiled slightly, his aged wolf paw flicking gently as he spoke in a calm tone:
"The battlefield is still too dangerous. Let's send the five kings away first!"
The upcoming war will be handled by our priesthood.
The moment the words fell, several leaders suddenly unleashed powerful auras, all of them being demigods. Among them, the vampire duke even ignited divine fire, just one step away from becoming a god.
Their guards also displayed a powerful aura, as if they wanted to tear the werewolf high priest to shreds.
However, the next moment, a large hand with golden hair reached out from the void and easily took the huge golden tent from the rear of the five-dimensional allied forces, as if picking an apple, and then disappeared into the shattered space.
Even those stronger than demigods seemed to see a towering golden giant carrying a golden tent walking through space, gradually disappearing into the distance.
An angry roar came from inside the golden tent.
"King of Behemoths!"
Subsequently, war was imminent.
......
Standing before the ruins of the desolate border town, Luo Tian, having withdrawn his right hand, looked at the razed ruins before him and clenched his right hand in confusion.
"I clearly held back, so how come it's all gone?"
Chapter 145 Do you know about the Great Wilderness Starfall?
Luo Tian himself did not expect that the tortoise shell, which Ivy had described as very powerful, could not even withstand one of his punches.
Originally, Luo Tian only estimated that he had accumulated a small amount of passive stacks, thinking of breaking the tortoise shell and then asking someone about the current situation of the interdimensional battlefield.
But right now, let alone people, the entire desolate border town has been blown away, and there isn't even a single living thing to be found.
The fact that he went too far and killed everyone is something that Luo Tian, who has spent 500 years making up for lost time, could not have imagined.
"Is it because the upgrade increased my base attack power, causing me to misjudge the strength of Soul Drain Strike?"
"But that doesn't seem right. Upgrading only increases basic attack slightly, which is negligible compared to the huge passive skill levels. How could there be a situation where the power is not accurately controlled?"
