Chapter 020: Interdisciplinary Fields

By this time, the two sides had been fighting for nearly three hours!
Three hours—George’s 20,000 troops and the Black Snake Army were already exhausted from the battle. Suddenly, they encountered William’s forces, along with ambushes led by Alva. The soldiers of the Northern Legion, already weakened, simply couldn’t stop them!
It wasn’t that they didn’t try—it was that they truly couldn’t!
The ambush troops all had a cultivation level of at least Level 3. A single such soldier could fight against ten ordinary soldiers! Coupled with their fearless spirit, although these ambush troops numbered only 500, they were by no means insignificant!
“Take 10,000 troops and follow up quickly!” Carol immediately ordered one of her generals, observing the situation ahead.
Hearing Carol’s command, the general promptly led 10,000 troops toward the force of just 5,000!
When the two armies clashed, the general quickly realized that the hundreds of soldiers leading that force were extremely formidable!
Even with his finest elite troops, he still couldn’t match them!
Watching as those 5,000 cavalrymen continued to charge toward the heart of the Northern Legion, the general’s expression turned cold.
“Imperial Guards! Follow me and charge!” Gritting his teeth, the general immediately spoke and led the charge.
“Your Majesty, something seems off down there!” Lai Luo quickly noticed the abnormal situation.
Hearing Elder Lai Luo’s words, Naixiu immediately changed her observation angle.
Indeed, at the position of the Black Snake Army, a force of several thousand soldiers slipped past them and fiercely penetrated the Northern Legion’s central position.
Seeing this, Naixiu immediately turned and flew toward the Black Snake Army’s side.
“William, it’s just as you planned!” Standing alongside the commander of the Black Snake Army, Feiya smiled at William.
Seeing that most of his plans had been carried out, a faint smile appeared on William’s lips as well.
……
“Your Majesty, this force was able to advance to this position solely because there’s an elite unit ahead!” Watching the battle below, Lai Luo frowned and said.

“Not bad. If we don’t deal with that unit, they’ll kill even more fiercely! If they manage to break through to the core of our army, it will surely fall into chaos,” said Naixiu.
As soon as she finished speaking, Naixiu quickly lowered her Green Shuttle and promptly drew her Elven Longbow, swinging her arms swiftly!
Battle in All Directions!
This was an Elven archery technique designed for one person to fight against a group of enemies!
When wielded by a master like Naixiu, every arrow was deadly accurate!
To William’s astonishment, all five hundred assassins were pinned to the ground by those long arrows!
“Amazing! Truly incredible! No wonder she’s the queen of the elves!” William murmured as he watched the assassins all killed.
With the assassin unit wiped out, William showed no trace of sorrow, only admiration for the elves’ extremely lethal archery skills!
With the five hundred assassins dead, the five-thousand-strong cavalry unit was immediately halted!
George and Eileen each led twenty thousand troops. Adding to this, ten thousand more troops were sent under Carol’s orders to confront the assassins. Thirty thousand heavy cavalry faced off against the Third Legion’s cavalry, along with the Holy Light Knights, and another twenty thousand spearmen were also deployed.
In total, the Northern Legion now had one hundred thousand troops engaged in battle!
Yet, less than thirty thousand of them were still available for combat!
Along the way, the Northern Legion kept advancing, suffering significant losses. As a result, its strength had dropped to under one hundred thirty thousand.
At this point, nearly seventy thousand troops of the Third Legion hadn’t yet been deployed!
In terms of troop numbers, the Gavin Empire’s army led by Fisher held a decisive advantage!
Even in terms of skilled fighters, the Northern Legion didn’t have an edge. If it weren’t for the seven Archbishops led by Fisher, who were determined to eliminate Du Fan first, their combined strength as domain masters would have given them a numerical advantage as well!
……
After appearing, the blood-red monster immediately lunged at Du Fan! Its claws emitted an endless stream of even darker red light, filled with a strong scent of blood, as it fiercely attacked Du Fan!

The divine messenger summoned by the seven cardinals just now wasn’t completely useless either. After being attacked a few times by the Midgod, Du Fan’s Absolute Protection Field was shattered, leaving him to rely solely on his own energy and physical strength for defense! Seeing the blood-red monster reaching for him, Du Fan quickly sidestepped and swung his Thunder Sword fiercely at the monster’s claws. Upon sensing the sword coming toward its claws, the monster let out a loud scream! Its speed suddenly increased, and to Du Fan’s surprise, the blood-red monster dodged his attack with great agility before reaching up to grab his wrist. He never expected the monster to be so quick! Under its attack, several sharp claws grabbed hold of Du Fan’s wrist. Fortunately, Du Fan reacted fast and quickly pulled his hand back just as the monster’s claws touched his wrist! Even so, several bloodstains appeared on his wrist—caused by the monster’s attacks. The moment the monster’s claws made contact with his skin, an extremely cold aura surged into Du Fan’s heart. This cold aura was filled with an endless sense of killing intent. It seemed to ignore the protective energy gathered on Du Fan’s body, cutting through it directly, followed by the sharp claws tearing through his skin. After several cuts on his wrist, Du Fan immediately felt a cold, murderous energy gathering at his wounds. This strange energy prevented the powerful life force within his body from healing the wounds. Immediately, Du Fan pushed his Light Combat Qi toward the wounds. Under the pressure of the Light Combat Qi, that cold, murderous aura began to fade little by little. Before Du Fan could rest, the monster clung to him like a persistent pest, its rapidly moving claws constantly attacking his vital points. In just a short time, the monster forced Du Fan into a stalemate. Added to this was Fisher, who wielded his Blood Sword and frequently launched surprise attacks from unexpected angles, leaving Du Fan in a state of chaos.

By intuition, Du Fan could sense that the blood-red long sword in Fischer’s hand must not be allowed to strike him. Watching more and more heavy cavalry around him being killed, Moses let out a fierce roar! Suddenly, the domain he unleashed was no longer a war domain—the weakening effect of war domains had absolutely no impact on those Holy Light Knights wearing armor blessed by priests! With Moses’s roar, a faintly black domain appeared! This domain was Moses’s other gravity space domain! By increasing the gravity within this domain to twenty times normal, it could cover an area of five hundred meters! The knights of the Holy Light Knight Order were only at level three, and this suddenly increased gravity of twenty times made their weight soar to around five thousand pounds! Five thousand pounds—far beyond what warriors at level three could withstand! Under such gravity, the knights immediately found themselves unable to move. Although they were unable to move, such gravity wasn’t enough to kill them outright. But their horses were different! The horses of the Holy Light Knight Order were ordinary horses, though finely trained—still, they could only be considered good. The weight of these horses, including their armor, was already a thousand pounds! Twenty times that was twenty thousand pounds! With the knights on top, each horse now weighed twenty-five thousand pounds! Twenty-five thousand pounds—well beyond what these horses could bear! When Moses activated his gravity space domain, all the horses of the Holy Light Knight Order inside it immediately fell to the ground. After struggling for a few moments, they began bleeding from their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears, and died within five seconds! With their warhorses dead and the Holy Light Knights unable to move, the battle within Moses’s gravity space domain quickly turned into a one-sided massacre! Under Moses’s leadership, the Holy Light Knight Order continued to fall, turning into lambs waiting to be slaughtered in large numbers! Seeing the effect of his gravity space domain, Moses roared toward the sky and started running rapidly back and forth!

Behind Moses, the heavy cavalry and archers were eagerly and ferociously slaughtering the members of the Sacred Light Knights who lay on the ground! In just a short while, the number of Sacred Light Knights killed by Moses, his cavalry, and archers reached four digits! Such heavy casualties deeply troubled Fischer, who was watching from the side! The Sacred Light Knights were the pride of the Church! One of the Church’s strongest military forces, they were also the most frequently deployed elite troops in various secular conflicts! If this army suffered heavy losses at Fischer’s hands, even as a Church disciple, Fischer would face scrutiny from the Church! “Eminent bishops! Please organize the massacre of those elves as quickly as possible!” Fischer shouted as more and more Sacred Light Knights fell in pools of blood. “Yes, respected Fischer,” replied the archbishop with snow-white hair and beard, bowing to Fischer before leading seven other archbishops toward Moses. Once they reached Moses’s position, the seven archbishops immediately unleashed their domains—domains of various colors that intersected with each other! Soon, under these domains, any remaining guards and Sacred Light Knights began to get up again! Their wounds healed at a speed visible to the eye! Under the cover of these domains, the warriors of the Gavin Empire, now reborn, felt an surge of strength, even emitting intense light! Book 48: Conquering the Land with a Single Hand
