Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4140 - Concentrated Attack!

Upon arrival at Grand Feng, the Tian Jiu Cult wasted no time in launching an attack, indicating that they had prior intelligence of the conflict between Tianming and Lord Yue on Grand Jiang. Although Lord Yue’s twenty-five million troops bolstered Grand Feng’s five million, their combined armies posed less of a challenge than Grand Jiang. They were the definition of an easy target! The kunlan primalwingers’ internal division presented the Tian Jiu Cult with an opportunity in crisis.

A formidable ring of ten thousand astralships encircled Grand Feng, their combined nova source creating a brilliant halo around the star. At the pope's command, all astralships attacked, unleashing a beam of light.

BOOM!!!

Once discovered, the star-cloaking formation was useless. When the beam of light found its mark, an ice-blue star shrouded in swirling blizzards was revealed. The astralguard formation was activated, generating a frosty hellscape as thick as the radius of a maniverse-class nova source. Grand Feng’s twenty-five million cosmic gods gathered in the snowstorm, completely unaffected and able to move freely within the astralguard formation.

The primalwingers unfolded their resplendent wings, each pair stretching at least several hundred meters. These wings not only boosted their combat capabilities but also granted them greater speed and agility, allowing them to maneuver their way through the snowstorm. Against the howling wind and heavy snow, their vibrant wings formed a colorful ocean. Though numerous, the primalwingers still appeared outnumbered by the ninety-million-strong Tian Jiu Cult.

"Here they come!"

A blinding pillar of light formed by ten thousand astralships was already streaking toward them as they looked up. Each astralship's attack unleashed devastation akin to a fortuna-class nova source, creating a deafening explosion in the icy landscape.

A thunderous roar ensued, violently shaking Grand Feng, sending tremors through its mountains, rivers, cities, and universe cities. Panic-stricken, the primalwingers stared upward, their breaths suspended in their throats.

Most of Grand Feng’s populace were aware of the events on Grand Jiang, condemning Tianming's ruthlessness and Jiang Tianzhou's heartlessness. Few blamed Lord Yue for refusing to kneel as they clung to the belief that he would still turn the tide.

This was perfectly normal. After all, Lord Yue was one of their own, while Tianming was an outsider commanding a ghoul army. The entire population, along with the twenty-five million warriors on Grand Feng, had pinned all their hopes on Lord Yue.

"The Tian Jiu Cult is hoping to exploit our window of vulnerability, so they’ll come at us hard. If we just hold on, we can not only repel them, but also shatter their forces!"

This conviction spread across Grand Feng, igniting a renewed fighting spirit. The first wave of attacks flooded the astralguard formation with a significant amount of nova source, causing icy shockwaves. Grand Feng’s army was hit and a part of their battle array scattered.

Right then, the ten-thousand-meter-tall pope and Ten Paladins appeared in the center of the astral armada.

With a forceful voice, the black and white pope commanded, "Seize Grand Feng and make the wondermancers’ legacy eternal!"

Ninety million cosmic gods charged out, a tidal wave of bodies crashing into this frosty hell like a spectacular meteor shower. Their unwavering resolve intimidated their opponents.

"They’re going for a direct, concentrated attack!" This information quickly spread among Grand Feng’s forces.

There were basically two ways to attack a nova source world: a concentrated attack or a dispersed warfare. The latter, a strategy of attrition, was highly effective provided sufficient forces were deployed. The vastness of nova source worlds made repelling such broad attacks challenging. However, dispersed units were slow to reassemble so defenders could pick them off one by one.

In contrast, a concentrated approach involved a swift, decisive, and precise initial attack. Once the star was breached, the army could assemble quickly and potentially inflict a devastating blow on cities and universe cities. And should retreat become necessary, their consolidated forces ensured greater cohesion and mutual support which increased the overall chance of a successful retreat.

Faced with immense pressure, Grand Feng had no choice but to draw its forces together to face the Tian Jiu Cult’s offensive head on. Soon, they saw countless Tian Jiu Cult cosmic gods and their wonders amid the icy storm.

"Damn it! These bastards have formed a massive wonder from their individual wonders to resist the formation!"

It had been a long time since the primalwingers and Grand Xia Imperials engaged in an actual war. As the battle began, the wondemancers’ advantage was immediately apparent. It seemed as if a colorful astralguard formation had slammed into them. Within it, a legion of Tian Jiu Cult cosmic gods burned with fierce determination.

"They're advancing with incredible speed! Have they neutralized our astralguard formation?" Numerous cosmic gods from Grand Feng wondered in trepidation.

War had faded to a distant history so the primalwingers failed to grasp the wondermancers’ true strength in battle, though they would have denied it in any case.

An enormous, multicolored divine wonder sphere hit the frosty storm with such force that waves of ice and snow exploded as the entire astralguard formation seemed to fracture. It was a truly astonishing sight. Upon entering the blizzard, the sphere rolled rapidly through the air, reaching the middle in an instant. Countless primalwingers frowned at the sight of this.

"Lord Yue will be here soon! Everyone, charge forward together. Coordinate with the frost prison to halt the enemy's advance!" An imposing female voice echoed across Grand Feng.

It was Feng Linxue, Grand Feng’s starlord, who spoke. She held supreme authority while Feng Buhuo was merely the deputy starlord.
