He nodded, suppressed his uneasiness, and stopped trying to dissuade her.

The army slowly entered the canyon, which was only a dozen meters wide at its narrowest point. The rock walls on both sides acted like natural barriers, squeezing the troops into a long dragon.

The sound of horse hooves, the clinking of armor, and the whispers of soldiers intertwined together, and an invisible sense of tension filled the air.

Although the general said there would be no ambush, his right hand was always holding the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were scanning the surroundings from time to time, obviously he had not completely let down his guard.

The team was marching to the middle of the canyon and was about to reach the end when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The man stood in the middle of the road, wearing a brown hooded cloak, blocking the way alone.

"Is there an ambush?" The deputy general's heart tightened and he immediately pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, his voice revealing a hint of uneasiness.

The general narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Just one person? You look down on us, the Galt Guard."

The figure slowly raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing a handsome and stern face - it was Zhang Luan.

The sunlight shone on his body, his short black hair was slightly blown by the wind, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

He raised his head, staring directly at the steel torrent. His voice, deep but clear, echoed throughout the canyon: "I am God's messenger. I command you to stop and surrender, or divine punishment will befall you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the canyon fell silent for a moment, and then the general burst into laughter.

"God's messenger? Hahaha! The rebels are really desperate and can even say such crazy things!" He waved his hand, signaling the troops to continue advancing, his eyes full of disdain.

The deputy general frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Zhang Luan was standing here alone, but his tone was so calm that he didn't seem like a madman at all.

He couldn't help but whispered: "General, do you want to..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" the general interrupted him, drawing his broadsword and pointing it forward. "All troops, accelerate! Crush this charlatan!"

Just as the army was about to launch a charge, Zhang Luan suddenly waved his hand and a cold air burst out from his palm.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire canyon dropped several degrees, fine snowflakes floated in the air, and even a thin layer of frost condensed on the ground.

He spoke coldly, his voice as deep and majestic as a cracking glacier: "Anyone who takes a step forward will die!"

Zhang Luan's eyes had already locked onto a secret mark on the ground - a buried landmine, less than half a meter in front of the general's horse's front hooves.

If the horse had taken another step, the explosion would have been powerful enough to blow the general and his horse into pieces.

Most people in the other world are superstitious and generally believe in the existence of gods.

At this moment, the sudden drop in temperature, the snow all over the sky, and Zhang Luan's mysterious appearance made the soldiers feel afraid.

Their hands holding their weapons trembled slightly, and their feet seemed to be nailed down. No one dared to take the first step.

The only sounds in the canyon were the horses' restless breathing and the low whistling of the wind blowing through the rock walls. The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if even the air had frozen.

Chapter 340 Trapped Beast

The general's face darkened upon seeing this. He suddenly drew his sword and raised it high, shouting in encouragement, "Don't panic! It's just ordinary ice magic, just a trick!"

He squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the warhorse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and then dropped heavily - miraculously, it just stepped over the position of the landmine.

Zhang Luan stared at the scene, his eyes twitching slightly. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Is this guy just lucky? He was able to dodge such a precise landmine?"

The general's heart was beating like a drum and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but after waiting for a few seconds, the ground remained calm and nothing happened.

He heaved a sigh of relief, his courage suddenly growing. He laughed heartily, "You play tricks on me, I'm moving forward. What's wrong? Where's the divine punishment?!"

Zhang Luan narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his tone was calm but with a hint of mockery: "Try taking another step forward."

The general snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and urged his horse forward a few steps again.

Incredibly, his luck was still against the sky, and the place where the horse's hoof landed just happened to avoid the other two buried mines.

Zhang Luan watched this scene with a frown on his face, cursing inwardly, "Is this guy cheating? He missed twice. With this kind of luck, why doesn't he buy a lottery ticket?!"

The general stopped his horse and turned to look at Zhang Luan with a smug grin. "I'm gone again, and still nothing happened! Go ahead, you idiot!!"

At the general's command, the soldiers immediately became braver when they saw that he was unharmed.

Fear was replaced by anger. They shouted in unison, raised their spears and broadswords, and urged their horses to charge towards Zhang Luan.

The sound of horse hooves roared like thunder, the dust was blown up several meters high, and the entire canyon seemed to be shaking.

Zhang Luan sneered and whispered, "I don't believe all of you have such incredible luck."

Then he quickly turned around and retreated along the safe route that had been planned long ago.

His steps were light and precise, and each step just avoided the buried points of the mines. The shouts and screams of the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.

Chapter 335

.

Just as he retreated to a huge rock at the end of the canyon, the cavalry in front finally stepped into the area with the densest mines.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the ground suddenly exploded, and a ball of hot fire mixed with soil and gravel shot up into the sky.

Several horses and their riders in the front row were blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there were two more "boom" sounds, and the mines that exploded in succession completely tore apart the charging column.

The horses neighed and fell to the ground, the soldiers were knocked over by the shock wave, and the originally neat formation instantly turned into a chaotic bloody slaughterhouse.

The general's horse was frightened and almost threw him off.

He grabbed the reins tightly, staring at the tragic scene of corpses strewn across the field ahead with wide eyes, cold sweat instantly running down his forehead.

"What kind of magic is this?!" He gritted his teeth, a hint of fear in his voice.

Zhang Luan stopped, turned around, looked at the chaotic enemy army from afar, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand and waved it again. A cold wind blew up the snowflakes, and combined with the aftermath of the explosion, the entire canyon seemed like hell.

"I said, anyone who takes a step forward will die." His voice echoed in the wind with unquestionable majesty.

The general stared at the bloody battlefield in front of him. The screams of the soldiers and the neighing of the horses blended into one.

He looked at the troops blown to pieces by the mines, a flash of anger in his eyes, and then he sneered and turned around and shouted, "Give me the magic crystal!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy general's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "General, do you really want to use that thing? Once the Demon-Breaking Crystal is used, although it can seal all magic for a short period of time, the backlash after the duration ends will make the user pay a heavy price, and may even endanger their life!"

The general whipped his head around, his gaze piercing his deputy like a knife. He gritted his teeth and said, "Under these circumstances, if we don't use the Demon-Breaking Crystal, we'll definitely lose this battle! I won't accept defeat! Bring it to me now!"

Seeing the general's firm attitude, the deputy general's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he had to grit his teeth and take out a small wooden box from the leather bag at his waist.

He carefully opened the box, revealing a fist-sized crystal.

This magic-breaking crystal is dark purple in color, and its surface is covered with fine cracks, as if it could shatter at any time.

A faint dark light flows inside the crystal, emitting a strange and oppressive aura that makes people shudder.

The deputy general held the crystal in both hands, handed it to the general, and whispered, "General, please use it with caution."

The general took the Demon-Breaking Crystal and held it in his hand, feeling its cold and heavy touch.

He took a deep breath, raised the crystal, and whispered an ancient spell.

The spell was obscure and low, and each syllable seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the throat, carrying an invisible pressure.

After finishing the chant, he bit his finger and dripped a drop of bright red blood onto the surface of the crystal.

The moment the blood touched the crystal, the dark purple crystal suddenly lit up with a scarlet light, which then quickly spread, as if forming some kind of contract with the general's vitality.

Then the general raised the crystal high and squeezed it hard.

With a "crack", the crystal shattered, and an invisible force was released instantly like a ripple, sweeping across the entire canyon.

The snowflakes and cold air in the air disappeared in an instant. The originally pervasive icy atmosphere was completely wiped out, and even the thin frost on the ground quickly melted.

This force is invisible but overbearing, as if it is suppressing all supernatural forces.

Zhang Luan, who was far away, was stunned. He could clearly feel that the surge of magic power in his body was still there, but it seemed to be locked by an invisible shackle and unable to break out.

He frowned, his eyes glancing at the crystal fragment in the general's hand, thinking to himself, "Demon-breaking Crystal? This thing is quite interesting."

When the general saw the snowflakes dissipate and the cold air was gone, a smug sneer appeared on his lips.

He suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Zhang Luan, shouting, "Without your magic tricks, I wonder what you can do to stop me! All troops, listen to my orders! Kill them!"

When the soldiers saw that the magic effect had disappeared, their morale immediately rose.

They reorganized their formation, their horses neighed, their spears and broadswords flashed coldly in the sunlight, and they rushed towards Zhang Luan again.

The canyon was filled with flying dust, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the air was filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Luan narrowed his eyes. Although the magic in his hands was sealed, he did not panic. Instead, he whispered to himself, "Did you think that was magic? Naive."

He stood where he was, his eyes coldly sweeping over the oncoming cavalry, and waved his hand gently.

This was a signal that had been agreed upon long ago, and the mixed forces of dog-eared girls and wolf-eared girls ambushed at the high points on both sides of the canyon immediately took action.

"Shoot! Free fire!" Zhang Luan shouted in a low voice, and his voice was clearly audible in the canyon.

High up in the valley, the silver-haired, wolf-eared girl Lina suddenly raised her head and let out a loud wolf howl. The sound was long and sharp, echoing throughout the canyon.

This familiar signal made the ears of the wolf-eared girl and the dog-eared girl tremble, and the flames of battle ignited in their eyes.

They quickly raised their assault rifles, pointed them at the chaotic cavalry below, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Da da da!" The dense gunfire sounded like a rainstorm. Bullets poured down from high above, cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The bullets from these modern weapons easily penetrated the thick plate armor of the Galt Iron Guards, penetrated into their flesh and blood, and brought up a puff of blood mist.

The cavalrymen were knocked to the ground before they even had time to react.

The warhorse fell to the ground neighing, the soldier's chest was shot through, and the blood stained the ground red.

Bullets ruthlessly reaped lives, the narrow canyon became a one-sided slaughterhouse, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

"How is this possible?!" The general widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

The magic-breaking crystal had clearly sealed all magic, and the snowflakes and cold air in the air had dissipated, but the explosions still occurred one after another, and soldiers fell down in large numbers.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "The magic was clearly suppressed, so why was there an explosion? What the hell is this?!"

The deputy general was already pale with fear, his legs trembling slightly. He said in a trembling voice, "General, have we really angered the gods? It might not be too late to explain the misunderstanding to this divine messenger now!"

He was completely shocked by the scene before him.

The ground suddenly exploded, and the "rain of light" falling from the sky penetrated his armor. All this was beyond his understanding.

And since the magic is sealed, it can be confirmed that all this has nothing to do with magic.

So apart from the only explanation of divine punishment, he really couldn't think of anything else that could lead to this.

Chapter 341 The Power of God

"I don't believe in gods!" the general roared, his eyes filled with madness. "Even if there are gods, I will break your arm off!"

He squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the warhorse under his crotch neighed and galloped towards Zhang Luan.

The horse's hooves trampled the pool of blood, splashing scarlet.

When the horse was about 20 or 30 meters away from Zhang Luan, its horse's hoof suddenly stepped on a landmine.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the flames of the explosion shot up into the sky, and the heavily armored warhorse was blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The general was caught off guard and fell off his horse, hitting the ground hard, raising a cloud of dust.

"Are you still not convinced? Do you have to wait for all your people to die before you face reality?" Zhang Luan stood where he was, his voice tinged with sarcasm and regret.

He looked at the corpses all over the ground and sighed in his heart. It would be much more cost-effective to subdue such an elite force than to wipe them all out.

"Stop talking nonsense, I will never lose!" The general stood up staggeringly with blood all over his face.

His left arm was broken and hung limply, the bone piercing his skin and bleeding.

He gritted his teeth, took out a dark red potion bottle from his waist, pulled out the cork, and gulped down the potion.

Chapter 336

Drink it down.

The moment the medicine entered his throat, a violent aura burst out from his body.

His muscles swelled rapidly, blood vessels protruded from under his skin, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and his breath became extremely wild.

The broken left arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the bones crackling and reconnecting.
