Chapter 197: Enemy at the Gate

Chapter 197 · The Enemy at the Gates

The Theban army did not attack.

They hid behind the city walls, changing from the calmness and confidence they had shown in the previous few days - the bravest warriors among them stood behind the parapets, their legs trembling constantly. And more cowards huddled together, trembling, and begged and prayed to the gods.

This should be the last day.

This should also be the day five thousand years ago when the Scorpion Emperor returned from the Amshe Oasis with the Death Army and came to the gates of Thebes for the second time.

This city will be breached today, regardless of whether these warriors can muster the courage. Their fate will be to be executed by Anubis's Death Army.

Under the city, the army of black jackal-headed monsters stood like a forest.

They were quiet, cold, and wore armor and weapons made of gold. Their array was neat and tight, and the dark flames that seemed to be materialized gathered into gloomy clouds above these tens of thousands of legions.

There is more than just a difference in parameters between eight times and ten times.

Today, perhaps every individual in the Death Corps has C-level or even CC-level enhanced combat power.

And the Scorpion King stood in the center of the silent Death Corps - he was still wearing the scorpion-shaped armor. One hand was a shield, the other hand was a recurved slash. He did not show the scorpion-like phenomenon in the final form of the movie. However, the Anubis power overflowing from his body has turned into a blazing red light leaping from his eyes.

From the momentum, his combat power at this moment may be roughly the same as that of Anmanet in Set's palm at the end of World Three. If the reincarnations were not suppressed by the Lord God and the rules of Anubis. Then the final victory or defeat of this battle would not be as difficult to know as it is now.

The enemy is strong, I am weak - but it may not be impossible to fight.

And in the silence of the Death Corps and the trembling of the Thebes defenders. From the mouth of the Scorpion Emperor, there was a roar that was no different from the first one.

"People of Thebes! Surrender, or be destroyed!" His voice was the same as before.

However, no one from the Theban defenders dared to respond to him.

"Get ready for battle, everyone." Jiang Yu pressed his palm on the Spear of Judgment. "The probability of winning head-on is very low. Only by dragging it to the street fighting stage, relying on the terrain and props to intercept layer by layer, can we effectively delay the speed of the Death Army. At the same time, we must put as much blocking force as possible on the Scorpion Emperor... The Theban army can no longer withstand the attack of the Death Army. We have to deal with the Scorpion Emperor before the Death Army rushes to the Central Grand Temple."

A simple and direct plan - the reincarnationists did not express any dissent. Chu Xuan blocked the doors and windows of the temple after entering the inner hall of the Grand Temple, and no intelligence has been released so far. Zhang Jie was entrusted by him to guard the entrance of the temple - and Li Shuaixi, who was not actually entrusted with an important task by Chu Xuan, was also included.

Others may not know what Chu Xuan is doing, but Jiang Yu trusts Chu Xuan and knows that this guy will definitely be active on this battlefield in some unexpected form. And in this case, there is no need to consider his specific whereabouts too much.

Jiang Yu trusts Chu Xuan, so he didn't ask.

Others trust Jiang Yu, so they didn't say much.

Zhan Lan also stayed near the Great Temple, but was stationed in a side hall. After several days of adjustment and adaptation, her mind connection has been able to fit in with every companion again.

Then, there are five people on the front line of the war - Jiang Yu, Xia, Zheng Zha, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Yingkong.

Lingdian has found the most suitable commanding heights. Even if he can no longer open the point-line magic eye, he is still a powerful sniper. Although Mu Gang could not complete the transformation of the aerospace fighter, he could still serve as a firepower turret, and use the suppressed but impossible-to-be-deprived Cybertron multi-threaded thinking power to manipulate the unmanned machine war sequence prepared by Chu Xuan.

The configuration is not bad.

Then——

"Wait for the Scorpion King to come in, or should we try to stop him at the foot of the city wall?" Zheng Zha exhaled lightly, his breath carrying a faint high temperature. He had a reagent hidden in his arms.

Blood reagent——Chu Xuan prepared a research and development byproduct based on the Blood Clan Gold Cup before entering the Anubis Pyramid. It cannot help Zheng Zha reach the realm of the Duke in one step, but it can be used as an amplifier to temporarily improve Zheng Zha's parameters as a Blood Clan, endurance, and the final integrated combat effectiveness.

The reincarnations have made full preparations for the possible weakening they may encounter. Not only Zheng Zha, but the other few people also have similar means at hand. Of course, the corresponding side effects will naturally not disappear, and soon, perhaps it will be the time when they should be used.

"If it can be solved outside, it will be outside." Jiang Yu made a decision. He said to solve, not to stop. "If... we are the only ones who can fight."

The words fell.

When the tactical configuration of the reincarnations was confirmed once again. Under the city of Thebes, the Scorpion King, who led the army, might also feel that he had given the Thebans enough time to consider.

The response of the Thebans was no response.

And the champion of Anubis would naturally swing the recurve sword in his hand.

"Attack." He said.

So, everything started like this.

The silent Death God Legion lowered their bodies and launched a tidal charge towards the city of Thebes. Their strength, speed, and the jumping power that came with it were enough for them to directly cross the towering city wall. The only strategy that the Reincarnationists could make was-

"Open fire."

Jiang Yu gave the order, and Mu Gang took action.

Hundreds of semi-autonomous drones located in various directions on the city wall spewed out dazzling flames at the same time. They released all the power that was not restricted by the operating mechanism of this world-the cursed beam cannon disassembled from the late jungle guardian. They opened fire at full force at the moment when the Death God Legion charged, throwing blue streams of light into the center of the battlefield, followed by a series of violent explosions.

‘Boom--! ! ’

A large impact, a large fire.

The Anubis Legion is protected by divine power. To kill them, either cut off their heads. Or directly explode their bodies below the neck into slag. The reincarnationists chose the latter, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Death God soldiers were broken into pieces, and then disintegrated into black smoke and sand!

They did not hesitate - they continued to move forward.

Then - the second wave of blocking arrived immediately.

- Detonate the gravity mines.

Under the city wall, the reincarnationists calculated the most suitable position for take-off and buried the mines on the position before sunrise. When they took effect, the large area of ​​gravity anomaly forcibly pulled apart and pulled down these fast-charging Death God soldiers. And accompanied by the cursed light cannons projected from the semi-autonomous drones, they bombarded the heads of these Death God soldiers on time.

They could not resist - they could only be broken in the bombardment.

But even so... what's the harm?

Hundreds, thousands... even two thousand Death God soldiers died. The remaining troops are still about ten times the weight of the losers. The successors stepped over the wreckage of the losers without hesitation. They waved their gold-decorated weapons and filled the battlefield with this simple and huge number.

The first soldier of the Death God Army climbed up the wall of Thebes.

It was shattered in an instant by the light blade cast by the nearest semi-autonomous drone - that was also the divine weapon disassembled from the jungle guardian.

The first one to climb up died.

But after the first one, there was a second climber, a third, a fourth - until the hundredth, the thousandth. If possible, tens of thousands of people might be able to do it.

Huge numbers, fearless of death. This is the power of the monster army.

And soon, the first semi-autonomous drone was chopped into scraps by the soldiers of the Death God Army.

And the guards of Thebes were not used at all in this battle.

…………………………

——As expected.

——I originally thought that the defenders of Thebes could at least help in this last battle. But I didn't expect... they couldn't even delay for a second.

——Since that's the case...

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. He didn't want to do this. He thought that just like the Gravekeeper Cult in the movie could withstand the first wave of the Death Army's offensive and completely annihilate the other side, the Theban Army five thousand years ago could at least provide some assistance.

But they didn't - they lost their morale and fighting spirit. Even though they still had a little ability to resist, they were quickly killed by the Death Army that swarmed in - the King of Thebes was dead, and none of the guards around him were left with a complete wreckage. Screams, pleas for mercy, and desperate cries came one after another. The only thing missing was the roar of resistance.

They were useless - don't even think about it, this is Anubis's little trick. Because this is its domain, it can make "fine adjustments" in many ambiguous places.

This is still fair, because this tests the strength of the reincarnations. Not the strength of the Theban Army. Reducing external variables is not considered a black whistle.

Then, the process of making the best use of everything can only be done by the reincarnations.

- Get started.

In the mind connection, Jiang Yu sent a signal.

And the next moment, from every block, every large house, all burst into blazing flames!

Fiery fire, burning the city.

This is not Cairo. After several days of experience, the reincarnations of the Zhongzhou team knew that all living things were false - and at the same time when a large number of Death Army soldiers turned into ashes in the high temperature flames. The semi-autonomous drones that had prepared fire prevention configurations in advance also retreated to the center of the boiling fire.

The Death Army is still charging - they are not normal troops. Even if they need to pass through the flames, they will keep their eyes on the target they must reach.

And at the same time -

- Teleport.
