No matter how high his prestige is in his own legion, even if he is an earthly emperor, he wouldn’t dare to boast in front of Ye Luo. After all, because they themselves are commanders of one of the legions, they know all too frighteningly well what kind of strength the garrison legions of the Great Tang Empire possess!

...

"Your Highness, since His Majesty has appointed you as the General of the Garrison Army, why not order the surrounding garrison legions to come and assist, and at the same time, command the city guards within Yingfeng City to cease resistance?"

A commander of the Yulin Guards stepped forward and addressed Ye Luo, yet at this moment, his attitude was several times more respectful than before!

The General of the Garrison Army has always been personally commanded by the Emperor. Coupled with the previous favoritism shown by the Emperor of Great Tang towards Ye Luo, it can be said that many people’s hearts have already regarded Ye Luo as the second Crown Prince!

Because Ye Luo’s current authority is far greater than that of the Crown Prince!

In fact, the Emperor of Great Tang regretted giving the order after it was issued. However, since the order was already delivered, he wouldn’t retract it out of pride. Moreover, considering that Ye Luo was soon to go to the Da Yue Empire, once he went to the Demon Clan, even if he could return alive, people might have already forgotten him. Thus, the Emperor of Great Tang did not retract the appointment.

What the Emperor of Great Tang thinks, Ye Luo doesn’t care at all.

Since he has been given authority, there is no use not utilizing it!

Ye Luo directly, based on distance, pinpointed six nearby garrison legion commanders and without hesitation ordered each to send a third of their troops for support.

Simultaneously, Ye Luo also commanded the city guards inside Yingfeng City to cease resistance.

Anyway, Ye Luo never paid any attention to how effective it was, and he still didn’t know the might of Spirit Sword Island at this moment.

Even seeing those Yulin Guards in utter terror, Ye Luo had nevertheless never seen such a thing.

"According to the original plan, continue with the siege?"

Due to the sudden appearance of Spirit Sword Island, the siege was disrupted and paused; and this waiting lasted for four hours, during which the Yulin Army received no new orders and therefore didn’t proceed with the siege. Meanwhile, the Yingchen Family, clearly due to the exposure of having Spirit Sword Island, fell into internal turmoil, hence didn’t counterattack.

The bizarre waiting of four hours, as both sides just stared at each other for the duration!

But finally, new orders were delivered!

The battle reignited!

"Army formation, transmit orders. All agents in the city, mobilize!"

Ye Luo shouted, personally arriving at a special formation, known as the order transmission army formation, specifically used to convey orders!

"Swish!"

A ray of green light shot into the sky, with strands of extremely weak yet exceptionally accurate spiritual power instantly spreading throughout Yingfeng City!

This is the special effect of the order transmission army formation, collective telepathy!

The Yulin Guards lurking in various parts of the city almost simultaneously heard Ye Luo’s voice.

Immediately, they acted without hesitation!

These Yulin Guards are the most elite warriors, fearing no death; for them, war is no big deal.

"Boom boom boom!"

Insane explosive sounds, like waves surging one after another, engulfing the whole Yingfeng City. The formations already set up were simultaneously detonated!

Terrifying explosions spread throughout Yingfeng City, especially targeting the residences of the loyal followers of the Yingchen Family!

In a magnificent courtyard, hundreds of servants were receiving instructions from their master, who was a steward of the Yingchen Family!

Though he was just a servant in the Yingchen Family!

Yet within this residence, he was everyone’s master!

This steward knew very well that if the Yingchen Family fell, they certainly wouldn’t have good days ahead—at least they couldn’t act as tyrannically as before—thus without hesitation, he gathered all his men, ready to join the city defense when needed!

"See that? That’s our Yingchen Family’s super weapon! Spirit Sword Island, with its presence, any enemy daring to oppose our Yingchen Family will surely be obliterated! Be prepared, as soon as the master calls, we will immediately join the city defense battle, rest assured, the master will never treat us poorly!"

However, just as these words fell. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

A tremendous sound erupted, and the entire courtyard was like the end of the world!

The ground shook, swirling with terrifying energy that mercilessly slaughtered everything around!

This steward, along with his servants, didn’t even have the slightest ability to resist, and fell dead instantly!

And similar occurrences were happening everywhere across Yingfeng City.

Explosions took countless lives!

However, though these formation detonations achieved very ideal effects, many assassination attempts on the other hand failed!

The initial plan was to carry out all assassination actions once the siege began, maximizing chaos and disrupting enemy formations!

But unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of Spirit Sword Island changed everything!

In four hours, these target individuals had ample time to make numerous choices!

Either fleeing back to their families or strengthening their guard strength.

Almost all designated targets took countermeasures.

Thus when assassinations began, almost all advantages were lost. Rather than assassinations, it became more of a direct assault!

Assassination and direct assault are completely different concepts, which inevitably led to the failure of the assassination attempts!

"Kill!"

At one command, a Yulin Army phalanx swiftly rushed towards the city gate!

In a siege battle, naturally, the aerial prohibition of Yingfeng City had long been activated.

So, the attacking side could only launch an assault from the ground!

"Falling Star Array, attack!"

On the city wall, an order came from a Yingchen Family officer.

Soon, beams of light radiated, formations were directly activated.

Instantly, the color of the sky changed, as if it were stained blood red!

Blood clouds gathered, rapidly converging terrifying spiritual power!

This is the power of war; war is not a single person’s battle but the convergence of the strength of tens of thousands!

This is just the first wave of probing attacks, and its manifestation is astounding!

"Defend!"

The Colonel commanding the thousand troops advanced without a trace of fear, just like all the Yulin Guards behind him!

They are the most elite warriors, some having even experienced bloody battles on border battlefields, so this mere city truly held no intimidation for them!
