Chapter 328

On the city wall, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. The soldiers of the Harik family were well-trained and coordinated, and they gradually gained the upper hand with their superb martial arts and tenacious fighting spirit.

Although Zhao Wu’s soldiers were brave and fearless, they gradually showed signs of defeat in front of the well-trained army of the Harik family.

Zhao Wu watched his soldiers losing ground, feeling anxious and angry. He brandished his sword and rushed to the battlefield himself, trying to save the situation. However, his efforts were in vain.

When Keton saw Zhao Wu appear, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He held a spear in his hand and rushed towards Zhao Wu like a black lightning.

The two men had a fierce duel on the city wall. Although Zhao Wu was brave, Ke Dun’s martial arts were more sophisticated.

Kedun’s spear was like a nimble venomous snake, stabbing Zhao Wu’s vital points repeatedly. Zhao Wu blocked left and right, but gradually felt powerless.

“You’ve already lost, Zhao Wu, surrender!”

Kedun shouted loudly while attacking.

“Humph, you want me to surrender? Dream on!”

Zhao Wu gritted his teeth and fought back desperately.

At this moment, Kerton suddenly fired a feint, and Zhao Wu quickly raised his knife to block.

Taking the opportunity, Keton moved sideways and went behind Zhao Wu, thrusting out with his spear, piercing Zhao Wu’s chest.

“You…” Zhao Wu’s eyes widened, his face full of reluctance and despair. His body slowly fell down and hit the city wall heavily.

When Zhao Wu died, his soldiers were thrown into disarray. The soldiers of the Harik family took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack, quickly occupying the entire town.

The people came out of their homes, cheering and welcoming the arrival of the Harik family. Their eyes were full of gratitude and joy, as if they saw the hope of rebirth.

After dealing with Zhao Wu, the army of the Harik family marched non-stop towards their next target – Sun Ba’s territory.

When Sun Ba learned that the Harik family was coming to attack him, he did not dare to be careless at all.

He knew very well that although his strength was not weak, the Harik family had strong support behind him and he could not take it lightly.

So he assembled all his troops and set up many lines of defense on the borders of his territory.

When the army of the Harik family arrived at the border of Sun Ba’s territory, they saw the impenetrable fortifications before them.

Continuous deer antler stakes are densely arranged in front, like dormant steel behemoths, blocking the way forward; towering watchtowers stand everywhere on the defense line, and the soldiers on the towers vigilantly observe the surroundings, not missing any slight movement; the thick city walls stretch for miles, and the walls are covered with various defense facilities. The muzzles of the soul guides are pointing blackly into the distance, as if ready to spit out the flames of death at any time.

Norton looked at the fortifications with a frown on his face.

A general beside him said, “Master, this Sun Ba is really well prepared. It is not easy to break through these fortifications.”

After pondering for a moment, Norton said, “We can’t attack by force, as this will cause a large number of casualties. Let the soul masters test the enemy’s strength first.”

Leon, Ellie and several other soul masters followed the order and approached the enemy’s defense line cautiously.

Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall discovered them and immediately shot thousands of arrows at them.

Seeing this, Leon immediately released his martial spirit. The shadow of the fire lion loomed behind him, emitting a blazing heat. He shouted, “First soul skill, fire shock!” A huge column of fire rushed towards the rain of arrows on the wall, instantly turning those feather arrows into ashes.

At the same time, Ellie also used her soul skills, and a layer of wind power surrounded her body, making her faster. She flashed and came to the bottom of the city wall, then with the help of the wind power, she jumped up and jumped onto the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall surrounded her and wanted to kill her.

But Ellie was too fast and they couldn’t touch her at all. Ellie was like an empty space on the wall, waving the dagger in her hand, killing several soldiers in an instant.

However, Sun Ba’s army was no ordinary force.

They quickly organized a counterattack, and a soul master rushed out of the city. His martial soul was an earth rhinoceros, which possessed powerful defense and strength.

He rushed towards Ellie, and the ground shook with every step he took.

Ellie felt the strong pressure from the opponent. She didn’t dare to fight hard and could only keep dodging.

Seeing that Ellie was in trouble, Leon immediately released his second soul skill, “Fire Lion Roar!” A huge lion roar sounded, and powerful sound waves rushed towards the Earth Rhino Soul Master.

The Earth Rhino Soul Master was shocked by the sound waves and took a few steps back. Ellie took the opportunity to escape from his attack range.

Norton saw that the soul masters’ attempts did not produce much effect, so he decided to change his strategy.

He said to the generals around him: “We will outflanking from both sides, bypassing the enemy’s frontal defense line, and then attack from the front and back.”

The generals nodded in agreement.

So, the army of the Harik family was divided into two routes and marched towards Sun Ba’s territory from both sides.

Sun Ba’s army discovered the actions of the Harik family’s army, and they quickly sent part of the army to stop them.

But the Harik family’s army was well-trained and they worked closely together, and soon broke through the enemy’s blockade.

After a fierce battle, the army of the Harik family successfully bypassed the rear of Sun Ba’s army.

At Norton’s command, the front and rear armies launched attacks at the same time.

Sun Ba’s army was suddenly thrown into chaos. They were attacked from both sides and didn’t know which side to resist first.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the shouts of killing were deafening.

The shouts of the soldiers, the collision of weapons, and the roar of spirit skills intertwined together, as if it were a tragic war symphony.

The ground was dyed red with blood, corpses lay scattered on the ground, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and gunpowder.

In the chaos, Norton personally led an elite force and rushed towards Sun Ba’s location.

Sun Ba was shocked when he saw Norton rushing towards him. He knew that he had met a real opponent today.

But he did not want to admit defeat. He waved the sword in his hand and led his trusted team to meet Norton.

Norton and Sun Ba finally faced each other on the battlefield.

Norton’s martial spirit is a shining long sword. His swordsmanship is sharp, and each sword carries a strong soul force. Although Sun Ba is powerful, he gradually cannot resist Norton’s swordsmanship.

While the two were fighting fiercely, soul masters such as Leon and Ellie also joined the battle. They attacked Sun Ba from different directions, and Sun Ba was immediately surrounded by enemies.

In the end, Sun Ba was besieged by everyone and was stabbed in the chest by Norton and fell to the ground.

After Sun Ba’s death, his army completely lost the will to resist and laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The army of the Harik family successfully occupied Sun Ba’s territory.
When the Harik family successfully occupied Sun Ba’s territory and the people were immersed in the joy of victory, they were not loyal to the Harik family, but they longed for peace.

Compared to the brutal Sun Ba, the Harik family, the nominal usurper, can at least bring order and stability.

While the local area was stable, Norton did not slack off at all.

He knew very well that those forces that were once loyal to the royal family were the real concern.

These royal remnants, like poisonous stings hidden in the darkness, could deal a fatal blow to the rule of the Harik family at any time.

Therefore, Norton personally selected an elite force and prepared to go deep into the mountains and forests to wipe out the remnants of the royal family.

The soldiers of this unit are all experienced warriors. There is determination and fearlessness in their eyes, as if what they are about to face is not a brutal war, but an ordinary hunt.

In the mountains and forests, the trees are dense and the branches and leaves are intertwined. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.

The terrain here is complex, with gullies and numerous caves, making it an ideal hiding place for the remnants of the royal family.

The army moved forward cautiously, their steps light and steady, for fear of alerting the enemy hiding in the dark.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle broke the silence of the forest.

Then, a group of people in tattered clothes emerged from all directions, holding weapons, with madness and hatred in their eyes. They were the remnants of the royal family.

They pounced on the Harik family’s army like a group of hungry wolves.

Seeing this, the leader immediately gave the order: “Form a battle array!” The soldiers moved quickly, and they lined up closely together to form a solid square array. The shieldmen were in front, the spearmen were in the back, and the archers were in the gaps between the square array, drawing their bows and aiming at the enemy.

The attack of the remnants of the royal family came like a storm. They waved their weapons and rushed towards the phalanx desperately.

However, the army of the Harik family was well-trained, and they successfully resisted the enemy’s attack with their solid phalanx and tacit cooperation.

In this fierce battle, both sides showed tenacious fighting spirit.

Although the remnants of the royal family were poorly equipped, they were willing to pay any price to restore the royal status, and every attack was carried out with the determination to die.

The Harik family’s army not only has the most advanced soul guides, but also has soul masters from Douluo Continent who have extremely terrifying individual strength.

On the battlefield, shouts of killing shook the sky, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. The land was dyed red with blood, corpses lay in all directions on the ground, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and gunpowder.

The shouts of the soldiers and the screams of the wounded intertwined together, as if it were a tragic war symphony.

Chen Ming, the soul master from Douluo Continent, is said to be the nephew of Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and is also the leader of the Harik family army.

He held a shining long sword in his hand and moved freely on the battlefield. His swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword carried a powerful soul force. Wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another.

His eyes were firm and calm as he looked at the fighting on the battlefield without any fear in his heart.

As the battle continued, the attacks of the remaining royal party gradually weakened. Their physical strength was constantly depleted, and their weapons were damaged in the battle. Facing the tenacious resistance of the Harik family army, they were already somewhat powerless.

Chen Ming was overjoyed when he saw the enemy’s defense line was loose. He immediately ordered: “Charge!”

The soldiers rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from a mountain. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they swung their weapons more vigorously, with every attack carrying the determination to kill.

Under the fierce attack of the Harik family army, the remnants of the royal family finally collapsed completely.

They dropped their weapons one after another and knelt down to surrender. The battle to wipe out the remnants of the royal family ended with the victory of the Harik family.

The news soon reached Norton, however, Norton was not carried away by the victory.

He knew that there were many warlords in this land. They each acted independently and had their own troops, posing a serious threat to the rule of the Harik family.

So he decided to continue sending troops to pacify the warlords in the north and south and achieve the unification of this land.

The warlords in the north, headed by Li Batian.

He occupied a vast plain and had a powerful cavalry. His army, the cavalrymen dressed in heavy armor, holding long spears, riding tall war horses, galloped across the plain like a torrent of steel.

When the Harik family’s army arrived in the north, Li Batian had already received the news.

He assembled all his cavalry troops and prepared them for battle on the plain. His eyes were full of confidence and arrogance, as if he was announcing to the army of the Harik family that he was the master of this land.

Norton looked at the cavalry in front of him with a frown.

He knew that the cavalry was extremely powerful on the plains and that it would be difficult for his army to gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation.

So he decided to adopt a roundabout tactic, bypassing the enemy’s front line of defense and launching an attack from the flank.

Norton’s army was divided into two groups. One group launched a frontal feint attack to attract the enemy’s attention, while the other group quietly went around the enemy’s flank and prepared to launch a surprise attack.

The troops launched a frontal feint attack, with soldiers pushing huge siege equipment, slowly approaching the enemy.

There was a determined look on their faces, as if they were about to face a battle that they were sure to win.

When Li Batian saw the army of the Harik family launching an attack, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack. The cavalry rushed towards the attacking army like an arrow from a bow. The sound of their horses’ hooves was like thunder, and the earth shook.

Just as the cavalry was about to charge in front of the attacking army, Norton’s flanking troops suddenly appeared. They held powerful crossbows and shot at the cavalry. The cavalry were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the originally neat formation was instantly disrupted.

Norton saw this and immediately ordered the frontal troops to charge. Soldiers rushed forward like a tide and engaged in fierce close combat with the enemy. On the battlefield, shouts of killing shook the sky and the sound of weapons clashing was endless. Blood dyed the ground red, corpses lay on the ground in all directions, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder.

In this fierce battle, the army of the Harik family fully utilized their advantages. They were well-trained, coordinated well, and gradually gained the upper hand with their tenacious fighting spirit and superb martial arts. Although Li Batian’s cavalry unit had strong combat effectiveness, after being attacked on the flank, its formation was in chaos and its morale was greatly hit.
