They would also have soldiers shoot arrows and use various heavy military equipment, such as trebuchets and heavy crossbows, to bombard the Titled Douluo who wanted to break through the city.
"Heh, a defensive formation? Do you really think that this hundred-man defensive formation can stop my Spirit Empire's army?"
At this moment, Snake Lance Douluo was riding a warhorse, standing at the forefront of the army, looking at the enemy on the city wall with disdain.
"Who are you! State your name!" the enemy commander asked.
Although Spirit Hall has many Titled Douluo, not many are widely known. In fact, many Titled Douluo's appearances are unknown, such as Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo, who are rarely known.
Snake Lance sneered, "Listen well, I am Spirit Hall's Elder, 92nd-ranked Snake Lance Douluo, She Long!"
"If you know what's good for you, open the city gates immediately and surrender on your knees!"
"It really is a Titled Douluo." The enemy commander's eyes narrowed, then he sneered mockingly, "Heh! So what if he's a Titled Douluo! Our Barak Border City is easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if your Spirit Empire has a Titled Douluo, you won't be able to break through!"
"How dare a mere Barak Border City be so arrogant! I'm going to break your defensive formation right now!"
Snake Lance Douluo looked arrogant and released his Snake LanceSpirit. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, and he was about to act, preparing to break open the city gate by himself.
But at this moment, Lin Yu's voice came from within the army: "ElderSnake Lance, step back."
A path opened up in the army.
A young man with an extraordinary aura slowly rode out from the army on a warhorse.
Upon seeing Lin Yu, the enemy on the high wall and their commander immediately changed their expressions, revealing looks of terror and dread!
"This person! Could this person be Spirit Hall's Lin Yu!"
"Commander, it's Lin Yu!"
"Not good! Rumor has it that two years ago, Lin Yu single-handedly killed Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Now, two years later, Lin Yu's strength is probably even greater than a 96th-ranked Titled Douluo!"
"He's actually participating in the war."
"Our defensive formation might not be able to defend against him!"
As soon as Lin Yu appeared, the enemy army immediately panicked.
Snake Lance immediately knelt on one knee: "Grand Marshal Lin Yu, it's just a small Barak Border City. There's no need for you to personally act. I, Snake Lance Douluo, can break the city alone!"
"Step back, Snake Lance. I will personally break this city." Lin Yu slowly walked in front of Snake Lance, looking indifferently ahead.
A 92nd-ranked Snake Lance Douluo alone, without soldiers, might not actually be able to break the city. If he tried a few times and still couldn't break open the city gate, it would definitely affect the army's morale.
This was the Spirit Empire's first battle in their northern expedition against the Heaven Dou Empire.
Lin Yu had to personally lead the first battle, using the most powerful force to shatter the city wall with one move, letting all the generals and soldiers of the army know the invincible Spirit of their Spirit Empire.
Only in this way could the army's morale and confidence surge tremendously.
This would have a huge impact on the subsequent push through the Heaven Dou Empire, so the first battle had to be fought beautifully!
"Yes! Grand Marshal Lin Yu!"
Seeing this, Snake Lance obediently retreated.
Under the gaze of both armies, Lin Yu slowly walked towards the city wall. Beneath his feet, eight spirit rings—black, black, black, black, black, red, red, and dark crimson gold—appeared.
"This! What kind of terrifying spirit ring configuration is this!"
The enemy army was already terrified at the sight!
"Quick! Strengthen the defenses, quickly!" The enemy commander was also somewhat scared out of his wits, roaring as he urged his soldiers to strengthen their defenses.
"Let's see if your defensive formation can withstand one of my swords."
Lin Yu's majestic voice echoed through heaven and earth.
He flapped his angel wings and flew into the sky, looking down proudly at the high wall: "Fifth Soul Skill, Angel Evil Thunder Sword."
The enemy commander's face was filled with terror: "Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows! Kill him for me!"
"Quick! All long-range Spirit Masters, release your Spirit Abilities and take him down!"
"Useless resistance." Lin Yu's expression was cold. He slowly raised his Evil Thunder Sword, which was over ten meters long, and like an invincible sword, he slashed towards the high wall.
"Break!"
Bang! Boom boom!
"Ah ah ah ah~~"
All the arrows shot in unison, as well as attacks from various heavy machinery, and the Spirit Abilities unleashed by a large number of Spirit Masters, were all destroyed by the power of the Evil Thunder Sword.
Lin Yu's terrifying sword struck down instantly.
A earth-shattering roar shook the entire army. The defensive formation and the sturdy city wall were instantly split into two by Lin Yu's single sword, and the massive city gate was thus breached.
Lin Yu broke the border city with one sword!
At that instant, a large number of soldiers around the city gate were also killed by the single sword, and cries of agony continuously echoed.
The enemy army despaired.
This scene also shocked our army.
"He's too powerful! This is Lin Yu!"
"This is our Spirit Empire's Grand Marshal!"
All the soldiers in our army were incredibly excited. Their morale soared to its peak under this single sword, and every soldier seemed to be pumped up, awe-inspiring.
Lin Yu pointed his sword forward, commanding the entire army: "The city gate is broken! All troops, listen to my command, charge into the city! Take Barak Border City!"
"Yes!"
"Kill!"
With Lin Yu's command, the Spirit Empire's 200,000-strong army began to madly charge into the city.
"Die!"
Lin Yu also instantly decapitated the enemy commander with a single sword.
The city was breached with one sword, and the commander was instantly slain.
The 200,000-strong army of Barak Border City could be said to have completely collapsed in morale. The two armies fought in a chaotic battle for only a moment before the enemy was routed and fled the city.
Lin Yu easily won the first battle, completely defeating the enemy.
There was no suspense whatsoever.
Next, the 200,000-strong army led by Lin Yu, like an invincible force, began to sweep through various cities and important strategic locations in the Balak Kingdom.
"Kill!"
"Take this city!"
City after city was captured by Lin Yu, and the territory of the Balak Kingdom was rapidly being invaded and occupied by the Spirit Empire.
The Spirit Empire's territory and land area were constantly expanding.
"Report!"
"Reporting to the High Priest, Grand Marshal Lin Yu broke open Barak Border City with a single sword, achieving a complete victory in the first battle!"
"Report! Grand Marshal Lin Yu has captured another city!"
"Report! Grand Marshal Lin Yu has taken yet another city!"
Good news kept pouring in from the front lines in Spirit City.
In just three short months, the 200,000-strong army led by Lin Yu had already captured and occupied two-thirds of the Balak Kingdom's territory.
At this moment, the army was heading towards Barak Royal City, the capital of the Balak Kingdom.
As long as Barak Royal City was taken, the gateway to the Heaven Dou Empire would be completely breached.
By then, the Spirit Empire's army could cross the Limaping Plain and directly enter the Heaven Dou Empire's territory.
Meanwhile, the army attacking the Star Luo Empire, led by Lin Tian, also won battle after battle, causing the subsidiary kingdoms under the Star Luo Empire to continuously retreat, and nearly half of their territory was occupied.
At this rate, it would probably only take a year for the two armies of the Spirit Empire to reach the capitals of the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires.
