The central base of the Human race.
Eight alien race encampments were stationed ten miles away.
They were deployed in the eight directions surrounding the Human base, acting as vanguards for the Beast race, or more bluntly, cannon fodder.
At this moment, countless wolf-headed tribesmen charged out of one of these alien encampments.
They surged like an unstoppable river, rushing towards the Human encampment.
Led by their chieftain, Lang Feng, they charged forward with ferocious howls.
Inside the Human base.
The members of the Grand Council watched the scene outside the base, their expressions filled with confusion.
The Elder and others, having received the news, rushed to the front lines only to witness this spectacle.
The Elder questioned, "Is the intelligence accurate?"
Wu Qi replied, "Elder, the intelligence is correct. We have confirmed that only the wolf-headed tribe has come to attack our Human base."
The Elder stroked his beard, utterly bewildered.
"Are their brains malfunctioning? Even if all eight tribes attacked together, we wouldn't fear them. Is this one tribe here to throw their lives away?"
It was no wonder he was confused. While the Human race was not a top-tier race on Blue Star, they were once its rulers. With a population of two billion, their strength was not to be underestimated.
The front-line base was built with the nation's full might, making it incredibly sturdy, protected by formations above and garrisoned by millions of troops. For a mere wolf-headed tribe to dare attack the Human encampment was truly seeking death.
The Elder scoffed.
"Hmph, since they dare to come, then let them stay here!"
The members of the Grand Council responded in unison, "Yes!"
The sun began to set in the west, its light dimming.
Finally—
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The war drums sounded!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Countless wolf-headed tribesmen, their eyes bloodshot, some riding on giant wolves, others tall and wielding massive cleavers, charged furiously towards the Human base.
They numbered in the millions, a sight like a cascading flood, truly astonishing.
Inside the Human base.
"Deploy the Annihilation Net!" someone shouted.
"The Annihilation Net is deployed!" a subordinate replied.
"Activate the defensive formations and prepare the Fire God Cannons!"
"Fire!"
Boom!
Boom!
Roaring cannon fire erupted, deafening and shaking the very earth.
Suddenly, the giant wolf-headed tribesmen spat out whirlwinds, blowing the cannonballs hundreds of miles away.
The shells landed hundreds of miles away, with a thunderous explosion, no weaker than the self-detonation of a seventh-tier expert.
As the shells fell, the wolf-headed tribesmen, wielding the power of wind, blew them away. After a barrage of over a thousand shells, only a handful actually landed within the wolf-headed tribe's ranks.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!!!
The sound of countless footsteps echoed as the wolf-headed tribesmen, with almost no losses, arrived before the Human encampment.
This sight caused the members of the Grand Council's expressions to turn grim.
"If the cannonballs cannot hit, then we shall use formation attacks. Can they blow away formations as well as cannonballs?"
"Also, do not reveal our trump cards. Use only moderate means to engage the enemy!"
"Yes!"
At the formation's central hub.
Upon receiving the Elder's command, the staff immediately activated the formations.
The base possessed numerous formations, including defensive and offensive ones.
The wolf-headed tribes were already close to the base, and the defensive formations were constantly active. Therefore, it was time to activate the offensive formations to engage the enemy.
"Activate the advanced Five Elements Formation: The Great Que Formation!"
Great Que was the name of a sword, often used to describe its immensity.
As this formation activated, countless energy greatswords materialized in the sky. These swords lacked sharp double edges but were instead serrated.
However, each sword was enormous. Some were ten meters long and three meters wide, others six meters long and two meters wide. Tens of thousands of these greatswords gathered in the sky, poised to strike.
"Release!"
At the command, the formation was driven.
Innumerable greatswords rained down from the sky, targeting the wolf-headed tribe.
The wolf-headed tribesmen were greatly alarmed.
"Not good, this is a Human formation! Shamans, come quickly!" Chief Lang Feng of the wolf-headed tribe roared.
Shamans were the keepers of knowledge for their tribe. They controlled the tribe's legacy and held the right to perform sacrifices.
On the battlefield, they could typically bestow various buffs upon their tribesmen, making them more valiant. High-level shamans could also offer sacrifices to mysterious beings in the unseen realms to gain temporary but immense power.
A group of shamans approached the front, clad in peculiar garments, their faces painted with various colors, appearing mysterious and primal.
Suddenly, a group of towering wolf-headed warriors behind them placed giant ferocious beasts before the shamans.
"Humble subjects offer the souls and bodies of insignificant beings to you, please bestow your defensive power!"
Each shaman killed a beast and then prostrated themselves on the ground, praying.
Concurrently, their arms moved in strange gestures, seemingly communicating with a mysterious entity.
At this moment, the greatswords finally reached overhead, about to descend.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation descended from an unknown location.
Boom!
The greatswords encountered resistance mid-descent and could no longer fall, scattering in all directions.
The Human side was somewhat surprised by this development.
It seemed the wolf-headed tribe was not to be underestimated.
They shed their underestimation and commanded, "Release the Heavenly Fire Formation!"
The Heavenly Fire Formation was a top-tier Human formation. Although it was only a ninth-tier formation, its deployment was extremely difficult, requiring nine formation masters to set it up together. Furthermore, it necessitated the use of inextinguishable heavenly fire as the formation's foundation.
Consequently, this formation possessed immense power, more than ten times that of the Great Que Formation's offensive capability.
Upon receiving the order, the Heavenly Fire Formation activated. Heavenly fire condensed and descended from the sky.
Each ball of heavenly fire was like a meteorite falling from the heavens, carrying boundless might as it descended upon the wolf-headed army.
"The Humans are bullying us too much! Shamans, block them!"
"All wolf warriors, unleash the power of wind and blow away these heavenly fires!"
"Roar~ Wind, obey my command, let the tempest rage!"
Whirlwinds appeared from nowhere, forming colossal wind vortexes that swept towards the descending heavenly fire.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Swish~
The tempest blew upon the heavenly fire. To their surprise, instead of blowing the fire away, it only intensified its flames.
Seeing this, the wolf-headed tribe leader's face darkened as if water could drip from it. Before he could even attack the Human base, he was about to be defeated by a formation. He was unwilling!
"Wind God!" he roared, controlling the power of the wind to form a mysterious phantom behind him. With a casual gesture, countless windstorms swirled around his body.
He stepped out from the crowd and flew into the sky, a lone wolf challenging the Heavenly Fire Formation.
The members of the Grand Council were slightly startled by this sight.
"Do we have arrows?" the Dean of the Divine Envoy Academy asked, wanting to shoot down Lang Feng.
The Dean of the Soldier Master Academy stood with his sword drawn and scoffed, "No need for sneak attacks, which would diminish our integrity. Since the formation cannot kill this wolf, I shall slay it myself!"
The Elder stopped him, "Not yet, let's wait a bit longer!"
After a moment, the countless heavenly fires in the sky, under Lang Feng's attack, had almost completely vanished.
The strength of heavenly fire lay in its vast range. Against powerful individuals, its intensity was somewhat lacking.
At this point, the Elder nodded, "Jian Ku, be careful!"
Jian Ku, the Dean of the Soldier Master Academy, said expressionlessly, "I shall slay it with three swords!"
Jian Ku drew the sword at his waist and flew outwards.
Just as he left the formation and was about to strike Lang Feng down with a single sword, he suddenly returned.
Everyone understood and looked at him. Some regretted not seeing Jian Ku in action, while others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the wolf-headed tribe had retreated.
"Cowardly curs! As soon as I appeared, you turned tail and fled. You fear me too much!" he sneered, pointing at the retreating wolf-headed army.
Outside.
Amidst the wolf-headed army, a scout reported.
"Lord Chieftain, this is bad! That Human who ambushed us and slaughtered our kin is currently slaughtering the old and young in our encampment. Please return swiftly and slay the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Lang Feng was so enraged that his head spun.
"Outrageous! They dare to kill my people again! Humans, I shall have eternal enmity with you! Retreat, protect our tribe's elders and children!"
