148: Chapter 148 Utter Devastation! The Power of the Nation!

Countless star crystal shells bombarded the ground, sending the Black Earth Tribe's ninety-thousand-strong The Military into chaos.

Although our nation's weapons technology is not quite on par with the Baiou Empire, it is not far behind. Furthermore, the Black Earth Tribe's forces had previously launched electromagnetic pulse bombs, which resulted in them entering the forest area without carrying any defensive equipment.

Consequently, they had absolutely no ability to resist the carpet bombing.

Just a single round of bombardment killed at least ten thousand of the enemy!

"What's happening? Where is this bombardment coming from?"

"It seems to be from the east! Look, there are people over there!"

Flares of fire erupted into the sky one after another, and the people of the Black Earth Tribe finally saw the overwhelming number of figures on the mountain to the east.

The number of people was at least several times their own!

The people of the Black Earth Tribe were all shocked.

However, The Military of Great Xia would not give them any chance to react.

Zhao Zhenyuan, commanding from the center, pointed directly at the general of the Black Earth Tribe in the forest.

"Soldiers! Charge!"

Following Zhao Zhenyuan's order, all the soldiers of Great Xia let out a thunderous roar and then charged toward The Military of the Black Earth Tribe.

Even General Gemu was startled by this scene.

He questioned, "This isn't right! How is this possible! Why didn't Great Xia's main force appear earlier or later, but exactly at this moment?"

In reality, after General Gemu decided to have his hundred-thousand-strong The Military enter the forest to capture Li Mo, he had already confirmed that Great Xia's main force had not yet arrived.

Because if Great Xia's main force had arrived long ago, it would have been impossible for them to search the forest area so unscrupulously; they would have long since set an ambush somewhere.

It was at that moment that General Gemu confirmed that all of Li Mo's military actions were merely intended to delay their main force.

Therefore, seeing Great Xia's main force now, General Gemu felt as if he had seen a ghost.

But the next moment, General Gemu suddenly realized.

He pointed at Li Mo, who was nearing exhaustion, and said, "Damn you! You brat! I understand now; Great Xia's main force has been on the way all this time, and you have been luring us in!"

However, General Gemu realized it too late.

A contemptuous smile appeared on Li Mo's blood-covered face: "Only realizing it now? It's too late, General Gemu!"

At this moment, the rage in General Gemu's heart reached its peak. He even ignored the weapon Li Mo might possess that could kill a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist, and prepared to strike him.

"I will kill you!"

General Gemu slammed a palm toward Li Mo's head. This was Li Mo's only weak point, and with Li Mo now exhausted, he could not dodge the lethal strike of a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Mo, followed by a flying kick that sent General Gemu reeling back.

"General Gemu, we are all seventy or eighty years old; isn't it unseemly to play dirty against a junior?"

The newcomer was a kind-looking old man with white hair and beard, wearing the uniform of a general.

Li Mo recognized him instantly.

"General Mo Yi!"

Li Mo wanted to salute, but he no longer had the slightest bit of strength left.

At this moment, General Mo Yi took out a pill and gave it to Li Mo, instructing, "This will help you recover your vitality. Alright! Sit down, meditate, and get some rest! You did well! Leave the rest to us!"

Li Mo nodded. In reality, they no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

Seeing General Mo Yi, General Gemu was also full of surprise.

The two were old rivals on the battlefield; General Gemu was one of the commanders-in-chief of the Black Earth Tribe's The Military, and General Mo Yi was likewise one of the commanders-in-chief of Great Xia's The Military.

Moreover, both were Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists who frequently clashed on the battlefield.

General Mo Yi, known as the Leg Emperor, had dominated the battlefield for many years relying on his leg techniques, which is very rare in this era.

His family had been a traditional martial arts family before the Spirit Awakening, and after the Spirit Awakening, they continued to study traditional martial arts.

In fact, after entering the High Martial Age, traditional martial arts had gradually been phased out. Many traditional martial arts families had improved their techniques, turning them into various cultivation methods that aligned with their talents.

But the Mo family was different; they had always been studying leg techniques, and General Mo Yi had fought his way to his current position as a general of Great Xia by relying on the traditional Twelve-Road Tan Leg.

"General Mo Yi! Don't talk nonsense! You're the one who's seventy or eighty! I haven't even reached sixty yet! You old geezer!"

General Gemu was roughly on par with General Mo Yi in terms of strength, but the kick he had just received from General Mo Yi still left his arm feeling numb. From this, General Gemu understood that General Mo Yi's strength had improved again.

It was no longer possible for him to take Li Mo away today.

General Mo Yi sneered coldly, "General Gemu, you have already lost! Leave your life here today!"

Just as he finished speaking, General Mo Yi's body vaulted into the air, and he immediately unleashed his exquisite leg techniques. The Twelve-Road Tan Leg was not only fast but also fierce and domineering, forcing General Gemu to retreat repeatedly.

Suddenly, General Gemu roared, and after shoving a palm out to force General Mo Yi back, a white phantom suddenly emerged from behind him.

That white phantom possessed an extremely terrifying aura. Li Mo did not know what it was, but the moment he saw it, he felt a sense of fear.

Following a remark from General Mo Yi, Li Mo finally understood what it was.

"Heh! Using a Divine Soul in front of a Great Xia person? You're just showing off before an expert!"

After General Mo Yi finished speaking, a white phantom also appeared behind him.

General Mo Yi's white phantom was significantly larger than General Gemu's. With a slight wave of his white phantom's hand, General Gemu's white phantom was instantly repelled, and the inexplicable feeling of fear in Li Mo's heart vanished instantly.

It turned out that this kind of white phantom was a manifestation of a materialized Divine Soul.

Currently, Li Mo had only constructed a Divine Soul within his inner landscape; he still had a long way to go before he could materialize it.

It was fortunate that General Gemu had not thought to use his Divine Soul to attack Li Mo earlier, otherwise, Li Mo and the others likely would not have been able to hold on.

General Gemu was one of the rare martial artists in the Black Earth Tribe who could cultivate a powerful Divine Soul, which was why Morpheus valued him so highly.

Unfortunately, when it came to Divine Souls, Great Xia would always be the strongest!

Just at this moment, all the soldiers of Great Xia also charged over and began fighting with the soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe.

The outcome for the Black Earth Tribe was predictable. Having spent a day and a night trying to capture Li Mo, they were already exhausted. Furthermore, with ten thousand of their hundred thousand troops killed by the Vanguard Battalion, their morale was extremely low.

In contrast, the Great Xia army was currently like tigers descending from the mountains; their morale was high. As soon as the two armies clashed, the Black Earth Tribe's ninety-thousand-strong The Military was crushed and routed.

Seeing this, General Gemu knew he had been defeated and had no choice but to give up on Li Mo and turn to flee.

He gritted his teeth fiercely and immediately ordered all his troops.

"All units, listen! Preserve our fighting strength! Retreat immediately!"
