Chapter 471: Chapter 308: Becoming the Captain-General, Well-Deserved

After Gu Yun backstabbed and eliminated Tuoba Yu,

he immediately commanded his Clans to take over Tuoba Yu’s defensive lines.

After quickly adjusting the defenses,

Gu Yun prepared to concentrate all the forces within his Divine Realm for a final, decisive battle with Zhang Yi!

Gu Yun’s plan was to use the frigid terrain within Tuoba Yu’s Divine Realm and its natural geographical advantages.

He would deploy his infantry in successive layers,

hoping to stall Zhang Yi’s massive Clan army.

He wasn’t aiming for a decisive victory, only a delay.

All he needed was to hold out for the remaining four days!

However, Gu Yun had underestimated the combat strength and resilience of Zhang Yi’s Clan Corps. Even more so, he had underestimated the terrifying power of Pioneer Corps Commander Eric!

Zhang Yi’s Clan Corps,

under the command of Legion Commander Feiyana,

had broken through Tuoba Yu’s Divine Realm

and shattered its core.

Yet, they did not grow complacent with their victory and blindly push forward.

After a reconnaissance of the surrounding area confirmed it was safe, they used the resources left behind by Tuoba Yu for the army to rest and resupply on the spot.

Simultaneously, they used Goblin Magical Airships to continuously ferry in supplies and rotate troops from the rear.

In just half a day, all the wounded from the front lines were transported to the rear.

The Elf Mages, drawing on the experience they had gained in the Snow Realm,

grew plants adapted to the frigid environment of the ice plains and used them to construct wooden huts.

After resting for just over half a day,

Eric, the Legendary Level Heroic Clan member, and the other combat-focused Heroic Clans from the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had all recovered the majority of their stamina.

「At dawn on the fifth day.」

They launched an attack on the Divine Realm of the second Alien God in the melee!

Following Legion Commander Feiyana’s battle plan,

Zhang Yi’s Clan Corps split into three columns.

The left flank was led by Pioneer Corps Commander Eric, tasked with assaulting the most heavily fortified section of Gu Yun’s defensive line.

The center was commanded by Legion Commander Feiyana herself,

advancing with the Magical Mechanized Corps and the Elf Corps, which were still mobile on the ice plains.

The right flank consisted of the Elf Cavalry Corps, primarily Dark Elves and Moon Elves, acting as a rapid-reaction force responsible for reconnaissance, flanking maneuvers, harassment, and probing for weaknesses in the enemy line.

Relying on the geographical advantage of the ice plains and the defensive lines he had taken over from Tuoba Yu’s Divine Realm,

Gu Yun mounted a tenacious resistance.

Aided by the tireless Stone-man Clan and the astounding strength of the Stone Titan,

they actually managed to cause considerable trouble for Zhang Yi’s three-pronged assault.

The offensive on the fifth day quickly devolved into a stalemate.

But at the critical moment, Pioneer Corps Commander Eric demonstrated his absolute dominance on the battlefield as a Legendary Clan member.

With the battle at a stalemate,

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric, wielding the Jade Giant Sword now brimming with Life Energy,

carved a bloody path straight through the enemy ranks!

If men stood before him, he cut them down.

If a mountain blocked his path, he split it asunder.

If a river crossed his way, he parted its waters...

And so, he carved his way forward by sheer force.

Among the enemies he met on his path was a particular Stone Titan under Gu Yun’s command—one that possessed peak Ninth Level Power, had evolved an Obsidian shell, and stood over ten meters tall.

This Stone Titan was the ace Heroic Clan member in Gu Yun’s Divine Realm.

It was not only immeasurably strong, but its defense was also astounding.

It had previously withstood direct hits from Magical Tank shells, which had only left dents in its hide without causing a single crack.

When the Titan saw Pioneer Corps Commander Eric, alone and deep within the enemy ranks, wielding a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact,

it acted on the command of an Oracle.

It let out a muffled roar,

then began to take heavy strides, charging toward Pioneer Corps Commander Eric like a moving mountain!

Every step made the frozen plains tremble.

The nearby members of the Stone-man Clan watched this, and a glint of hope appeared in their eyes.

’Even if our Heroic Clan, the Stone Titan with the Obsidian shell, can’t defeat their Legendary Clan... surely, with that defensive power, it can at least stop him from advancing further, right?’

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric watched the behemoth charge toward him,

his expression showing not a trace of fear.

Instead, his eyes burned with a fierce will to fight!

The Law Enlightenment granted by his Combat Divine Position surged through his mind.

He could feel it: if he could defeat this opponent,

his enlightenment of the Laws would deepen, and he would become a Legendary Middle Stage Clan member.

"Excellent!"

Pioneer Corps Commander Eric let out a great cry. Instead of slowing down, he actively accelerated to meet the charge.

The light from the Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact Jade Giant Sword in his hands flared brightly, as if condensing the sharpness of a thousand thorns into its edge!

The Obsidian-shelled Stone Titan’s fist came down like a small mountain,

the sheer force of the blow making the air itself roar.

But just at that critical instant, Pioneer Corps Commander Eric

pushed off with one foot, his body instantly shifting two meters to the right, dodging the powerful blow.

The Obsidian-shelled Stone Titan’s fist smashed into the ice, blasting a crater several meters deep.

Ice, snow, and shattered rock flew in all directions!

The instant he dodged, Pioneer Corps Commander Eric countered with a backhanded slash.

The Jade Giant Sword whistled through the air and slammed viciously into the joint of the Stone Titan’s arm.

CLANG—!

The ear-splitting shriek of clashing metal echoed across the battlefield.

Sparks flew.

The Jade Giant Sword bit a third of the way into the Stone Titan’s joint.

But ultimately, it failed to sever the limb in a single blow.

Considering how the Jade Giant Sword had previously cut through anything in Pioneer Corps Commander Eric’s hands,

this was the first time it had ever been stopped.
