Chapter 1265 The Final Battle
"The sun is burning our power!" Maximinus's personal guards discovered the characteristics of the Sun Riders the moment they fought.
"Burn everything of the opponent!"
Flames were burning on the Sun Rider's body, and under the blazing sun high in the sky, it seemed as if it was truly burning.
As a legion on the right track, they successfully pushed the two types of manifestation talents, scorching sun and burning, to their limits, which is the usual sense of the double three-talent legion.
The final manifestation of Parthia's talent for unification was sublimated in the hands of the Fiery Sun Rider.
The talent now is no longer a simple talent cancellation. The flames on the Sun Riders carry the power of the military soul. The injuries on their bodies, even fatal attacks, can be healed in the rising flames.
This is the end of burning, nirvana and rebirth.
Sun strengthens their attack and defense, Incinerate destroys the enemy's talents, and Nirvana ensures their survivability.
This is the current Sun Knights, a legion that carries light and heat.
The flames attached to their weapons are not real, but for those soldiers whose willpower is not up to standard, such illusory flames are more terrifying than real flames.
Because they can fundamentally disrupt the talent structure.
Maximinus roared and released his terrifying aura. When the sound waves spread in all directions, it attracted the attention of all the strong men.
"Are you just one step away from reaching the third level of talent?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.
"No, to be precise, they have crossed the threshold of three talents and started to transform into a three-talent army?"
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment with the fan in his hand, reached out to remove the blessing from Zhang Liao, and pressed the power of the Eight Diagrams on Maximinus' personal guards.
Maximinus's face changed drastically. He could clearly sense that the organizational strength of the Guards was being eroded. Zhuge Liang was using the most fundamental way to hinder the transformation of the Guards.
"Although I don't know whether you can be resurrected, but if you want to break through in the battle, it is better to lie down honestly!" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan calmly.
Even if he hadn't taken action, Maximinus would most likely not have been a match for the Sun Cavalry, but delay would result in changes, so Zhuge Liang still chose to take action.
"Die!" The soldiers of the Fiery Sun Cavalry thrust out their spears indifferently. When the spears burning with flames stabbed towards Maximinus with unstoppable breaking power, the sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the world.
"Puff~" Maximinus, who had clearly blocked the attack of the Fiery Sun Cavalry, spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the Fiery Sun Cavalry opposite him in disbelief. They should have been just ordinary soldiers, but they had actually injured him, a boundary-breaker.
The Sun Knight continued to thrust out his spear indifferently, with destructive power brewing at the tip of the spear. When Maximinus blocked it again, he finally realized what the problem was.
The attack of the Fiery Sun Riders contained devastating explosive power. Even if one blocked the Fiery Sun Riders' weapons, one could not block the force spreading from the weapons. The force that violently exploded in his body was the main cause of his injury.
There is no need to consider the opponent's defense or attack, just inject your force into the opponent's body and detonate it.
Just because Maximinus could block it doesn’t mean that his personal guards could also block it.
After blocking the first shot from the Fiery Sun Cavalry, hundreds of royal guards had their powers detonated within their bodies, instantly turning them into human fireworks, exploding directly, and then being burned to ashes by the illusory flames.
The terrifying killing power easily crushed all of Maximinus's pride.
His personal guards were indeed powerful and had even crossed the threshold of three talents.
However, the combination of talents of the Sun Riders destined them to be one-on-one killers.
Burning the enemy's talent, and then using the power of the sun to fight again, is almost equivalent to three talent legions fighting the Royal Guards.
In other words, any legion that cannot withstand the burning of the Burning Talent is not qualified to fight against the Sun Riders in a one-on-one duel.
"Puff~" Maximinus spat out blood again. The head of his mount exploded at the moment the power exploded. Maximinus rolled on the ground. When he stood up again, he was surrounded by the soldiers of the Lieyang Cavalry.
"Die!" More than a dozen spears pierced Maximinus' body from all directions.
"I won't give up!" Maximinus fought hard, but was still pierced by several spears.
Even if he broke through the boundary, being suppressed by the clouds and surrounded by the three gifted legions, his only outcome would be death.
"Bang!"
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but disappeared completely under the burning flames.
Only a deep pit was left on the ground, recording Maximinus's final unwillingness.
The last elite group was also blocked by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Ang. The speed of the elephants meant that they could not outrun the leopards, especially the leopards who were blessed with super speed.
As the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry special attack against Peacock, they showed terrifying fighting power.
As soon as the Tiger Tribe led by Cao Ang appeared, the war elephants of the Peacock Legion became panicked. Even though the war elephants were trained to be fearless, they could not resist the fear that came from their instinct.
The Tiger Tribe's natural talent was to amplify fear, and coupled with the tiger's own might, it destroyed the war elephants' psychological direction in a flash, causing them to become as chaotic as headless flies.
The strength of the Peacock with three talents is more concentrated on the soldiers rather than the elephants. The elephants are in a panic and cannot be calmed down, and even start to attack each other in chaos. The Peacock soldiers riding on the elephants can only jump off helplessly and stay away from the chaotic war elephants.
The elephants were completely terrified and in chaos. The blows from their trunks hitting each other were completely fatal, and they couldn't even stretch themselves.
The elephants, which they were once so proud of, became a burden, and they had no choice but to abandon them.
The moment they landed, the leopards took off and began their hunt.
Cao Ang led the Tiger Tribe to drive the elephants away, while Xiahou Yuan led the Leopard Tribe to start the slaughter.
Even the soldiers with three talents had no way to resist Xiahou Yuan's killing after losing the elephants as their source of combat power.
What's more, the leopard's outbreak was more terrifying than they thought.
The spears that were thrust at them at high speed made it impossible for them to resist. The Peacock Soldiers, who were used to fighting on war elephants, had forgotten what it was like the last time they fought on flat ground.
Amidst the infinite chaos, the Peacock's soldiers fell under the iron hooves of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. As a force designed against the Peacock, they perfectly achieved the goal of overthrowing the superior.
Some soldiers even seemed to have plundered some abilities of the Peacock God and Buddha from the soldiers of the Peacock Legion.
It was originally used to strengthen the power of the Peacock Soldiers, but now it has been rudely snatched away by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In Cao Ang's experiment, it seems that it can give the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry a layer of wings, allowing them to realize their dream of flying.
However, with their current abilities, they can't even hover for a long time.
The Kushans suffered a total defeat and were almost completely wiped out before they could capture Peshawar, with only a few soldiers able to recapture it.
"I didn't expect it to be so smooth!" Zhuge Liang was surprised after cleaning up the battlefield.
Even before the infantry battalion arrived, the combination of the White Horse, Iron Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry was enough to completely destroy the Kushans. His appearance was just the icing on the cake, blocking the last way out for Barak and his men.
Even if he had not intercepted them halfway, not many soldiers would have been able to escape back to Peshawar.
"Prepare to attack the city!" Yue Fei and others who arrived late sighed after hearing the situation. The mobility of the infantry was too poor and they ultimately failed to catch up with the battle.
Fortunately, the next stop is their home ground, and cavalry is not suitable for siege.
"Wait a little longer, I can already smell those guys from the Yulin Army!" Bai He gave his advice expressionlessly.
Yue Fei looked at Guo Hao in surprise, and Guo Hao nodded. He could indeed feel that the Yulin Army was approaching Peshawar.
But Baihe shouldn't have this ability.
Baihe remained silent with an expressionless face. They couldn't say that they had suffered sequelae from the attacks by the Yulin Army. As long as the Yulin Army approached within a hundred miles, they would be able to detect it regardless of day or night.
After the Yulin Army and Guan Yu arrived, the Han Dynasty directly began to attack the city, not wanting to give Peshawar any chance to breathe.
Outside Peshawar, all the heavy siege weapons on the Shenzhou were dismantled and placed around Peshawar, bombarding it almost non-stop.
Arrows rained down, boulders flew everywhere , and from time to time the army would draw on clouds to condense into blades and slash towards Peshawar.
Peshawar’s main feature is forbearance. No matter how the outside world bombards it, it never intends to leave Peshawar.
No one knew how long Peshawar could hold out. Huge naval guns were transported here from the Central Plains and placed outside Peshawar, firing fiercely.
If Peshawar had not used some more advanced defensive secret techniques than Parthia, it would have been reduced to ruins by these crossbows.
The bombing lasted for three days and three nights. Some people on the Han side couldn't help but become impatient. The other side's cowardly tactics made them feel disgusted.
"General, do you want to stop the bombing and try to send people to attack?"
After a long time of siege, the officers and soldiers could not hold back any longer. Li Que was the first to propose a strong attack, and he was willing to be the vanguard and the first to rush to the top of the city.
"Don't worry, our reinforcements will be here soon!" Guo Hao narrowed his eyes and stared at the Kushan shrine that was gradually merging with reality in Peshawar.
Although he didn't know what the other party was doing, he decisively mobilized more people from the country.
As he was speaking, a surge of heat came over him. Guo Hao smiled slightly. The person he was waiting for had arrived.
"You called me here because you want me to turn this place into a barren land?" Nüba opened the tent and asked in an unhappy tone.
"Yes and no. It's just that considering the myths and legends of Kushan, I asked you to come here as a precaution." Guo Hao explained with a smile.
"So you asked me to carry this thing over here, just in case. You are really brave!" Nüba said with a little admiration.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Guo Hao led everyone out and saw a large tripod placed outside the tent.
There was a sword floating on the tripod, which was a combination of the Nine Tripods and the Xuanyuan Sword. Nüba came from afar just to respond to Guo Hao's instructions and brought the two national treasures.
"Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit!"
"These gods and Buddhas must die!"
Guo Hao's words were calm, yet they revealed a solemn tone.
Almost everyone could feel the resolute murderous intent in Guo Hao's words.
"I am willing to be the vanguard and take Peshawar!" Li Que immediately knelt down and petitioned.
"I am willing to be the vanguard! Take Peshawar!" Hua Xiong and other officers also knelt on the ground to petition.
The moment Guo Hao moved the Nine Cauldrons over, all the officers knew that they had only one goal next, which was to capture Peshawar and kill all the gods and Buddhas.
"Rest for a day and capture Peshawar tomorrow!" Guo Hao stared coldly at the sky above Peshawar. The fusion of the divine land and reality will be completely completed tomorrow.
The next day, after the army was reorganized.
"Boom!" A huge roar came from Peshawar. The Kushan divine land finally merged completely with reality, and the phantom of the Three-Phase God appeared in the sky of Peshawar.
"Wash away the sins of the world with the water of the Ganges!"
"Boom~" The sound of surging water came from the sky, followed by the three gods' full-strength attack, shattering the sky. Like a waterfall, the water of the Ganges mixed with the power of the Ocean of Milk in mythology rushed down.
"I guessed you would do this!"
Changing celestial phenomena was not exclusive to the Han Dynasty; these gods and Buddhas could also do it, and they had an even greater advantage in the Kushan lands.
Arvind’s last move made Guo Hao realize the final way these gods and Buddhas would choose.
Among all myths, the Great Flood is an indispensable topic.
As for the myths about the Ganges, the great flood is of course unavoidable.
"The sun boils the sea!"
A three-legged golden crow flew out from Guo Hao's body, flapped its wings and flew high, blocking the crack in the sky. The terrifying high temperature evaporated a large amount of water in an instant, and Nüba showed its original form. The earth was cracked and dry, and even the water of the Ganges that fell from the sky could not completely turn the earth into a swamp.
"Brahma, your little tricks end here!"
After enduring the first round of flooding, Guo Hao roared furiously, grabbed the Nine Cauldrons on the ground, and rushed towards the sky.
The flood myth exists in every region, but the most different thing about it from other myths is this.
China's natural disaster of floods was quelled by humans.
The Jiuzhou Ding radiates colorful divine light, and the prayers from all people make it one of the most magical objects in the world.
In addition to carrying the heroic spirits, the greatest ability he was given was to suppress disasters.
"All troops, listen up! Attack the city!" After the Nine Cauldrons completely suppressed the flood in the sky, Guo Hao, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, shouted out the roar of mankind.
"kill!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Lin, Fei Xiong, Shen Tie Qi, Xian Zhen, Lie Yang, Jin Jia, Xian Deng, Bei Wei...
The elite troops of the Han Dynasty came out in full force and began to attack the city amid the rain of arrows and attacks from Peshawar.
