Chapter 17: Thunderous Suppression, Demonstrating Divine Power
"Unification is inevitable, the Divine Court is not to be blamed!"
"The Divine Court?"
The other party was stunned. What kind of force was this? However, this was not for him to consider. He immediately spurred his horse back and informed Gu Bei of the information he had gathered.
...
"Arrogant!"
Gu Bei slapped the dragon chair in anger: "What damned Divine Court, playing tricks! A mere rabble of less than a hundred thousand dares to speak so presumptuously in front of my army!"
"Men!"
"Your subject is here!"
"Send out one hundred thousand iron cavalry to flatten them! Show no mercy! I want to see if this Divine Court is just talking tough!"
Gu Bei waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The great general drew his sword: "Where is my Gu Country's iron cavalry!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Great Wind!"
The loud roars echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Follow me and kill!"
The great general led the charge, leading one hundred thousand iron cavalry straight towards Jiang Fan's side. The sound of hooves hitting the ground was deafening.
"Kill!!!"
...
Facing the mighty one hundred thousand iron cavalry, the people on Jiang Fan's side felt a chill in their hearts.
This was iron cavalry! Slaughtering them would be like butchering lambs. For a moment, everyone felt very uneasy.
Their weapons were only swords and blades, completely unable to resist. Not to mention, the enemy's iron cavalry army numbered one hundred thousand, while they had less than one hundred thousand.
Jiang Fan naturally sensed everyone's unease. If he didn't show off his skills now, they would probably desert.
"There are always beings on the ground who offend the glory of the Gods!"
Jiang Fan let out a shout, then no longer hesitated and directly made his move.
"Divine Might is vast!"
Jiang Fan's eyes shone with golden light, and boundless pressure spread out. With a wave of his hands, a massive phantom of the Divine Court descended from the sky.
And the place it was aimed at was precisely the moving one hundred thousand iron cavalry.
"Clang!"
The Divine Court smashed down, raising thick dust.
The one hundred thousand iron cavalry directly crashed into the south wall inside the Divine Court. Immediately, men and horses were thrown into disarray, and many soldiers were trampled to death by their comrades.
They wanted to reorganize their ranks and charge out of this cage, but no matter how they attacked, they couldn't break even a single bit of this Divine Court.
The one hundred thousand iron cavalry were directly trapped and died inside, as if the outside World had completely separated from them.
Jiang Fan's move instantly stunned everyone on the battlefield.
The Human Race on their side felt a surge of fanaticism in their hearts. For a time, many people became fervent believers of Jiang Fan.
Is this divine might!!!
On the other hand, everyone on Gu Bei's side was dumbfounded, looking at everything happening before them and thinking they were dreaming.
Is this power that Humans can grasp?
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Gu Bei slammed the table and stood up.
"Your Majesty..."
Yuanfang supported the somewhat unsteady Gu Bei, his eyes full of bitterness. It seemed their previous speculation was true.
This force called the Divine Court was the small tribe from before.
"Get lost!"
Gu Bei pushed Yuanfang away and roared: "The entire army attacks! Annihilate them for me!"
Although Gu Bei had given the order, everyone looked at each other, feeling hesitant. Facing mortals, they still had the will to resist, but when the enemy is a God, how could they muster the will to resist?
"Do you not understand my command!"
Gu Bei's face was contorted, completely disregarding his image: "What use is it for me to raise you! You eat what is mine and use what is mine, so your lives are mine! Kill for me! Those who retreat—die!!!"
The generals beside him also drew their swords, staring fiercely at everyone.
The generals' prestige was usually present, so although everyone felt like retreating, they had no choice but to continue charging forward.
"Hahaha! I don't believe you can continue to act! Let my great army tear apart the fake tricks of your damned Divine Court!"
Gu Bei said, deceiving himself.
...
"My Lord, the enemy continues to send troops to attack."
Zhuo Yuanming's tone was excited but his face was calm. Jiang Fan's display just now gave him complete confidence. He was excited because the God he believed in was a true God. Even staying by Jiang Fan's side, he felt endless glory.
"Mm, no need to worry. The increase in numbers won't change anything. Of course, my purpose is not to destroy the people of the Seven Kingdoms, but to subdue and unify them. You are all Human Race, all my subjects. I will spare the lives of these people."
Jiang Fan said calmly. Furthermore, with only one ten-thousandth of his current strength, he couldn't annihilate millions with a single hand. He needed time to kill them slowly. Instantaneous killing was impossible, after all, he was currently only a Tier 2 Star Lord.
The gap between Tier 1 Star Lord and Tier 2 Star Lord is not big, but the gap between Tier 2 and Tier 3 is very large.
To be promoted to a Tier 3 Star Lord, the civilization under his command must be a Tier 1 civilization. Jiang Fan is still far from meeting this condition.
"Yes! My Lord is merciful! Your greatness should be praised by all Humanity!"
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes filled with fanaticism, which made Jiang Fan's mouth twitch. If this kid were in his previous life, he would definitely be a pyramid scheme leader.
"When I make my move again, after this, the army's inner defenses will surely collapse. In this way, we only need to capture the Gu Country's monarch alive, and this battle will be over."
After Jiang Fan finished speaking, he stood up.
With his current strength, suppressing hundreds of thousands of troops at once would still require considerable effort. He didn't want others to see his weak state; that would completely ruin the image he had painstakingly built!
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Fan's figure flashed, and the next moment his figure appeared directly one hundred meters above the enemy army.
Seeing this, the hundreds of thousands of troops stopped in their tracks. Looking at Jiang Fan flying high in the sky, a bad premonition flashed in everyone's hearts.
Moreover, this person was flying! This was not the power of a mortal. Was he the God of the Divine Court...?
Gu Bei's smile froze instantly. He had just said he would expose the other party's fake tricks, and now he was being slapped in the face so quickly.
Jiang Fan took a deep breath: "Hoo~".
Mobilizing all the divine power in his body, the sky instantly turned golden, and boundless divine might locked onto the army below.
The soldiers felt it difficult to breathe. What was more fatal was that their instincts were frantically warning them to flee this place.
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the army, which had just been neatly arranged, instantly scattered in all directions. Everyone ran for their lives, wanting to leave this place of trouble.
"Pillar of Judgment—Imprisonment!"
A majestic voice echoed through the heavens and earth. Everyone heard this whisper that struck their souls.
"Buzz!"
Instantly—
Streaks of golden light descended from the sky.
Before those soldiers could escape a few steps, they were pierced by a beam of light from top to bottom, pinned firmly in place.
Their eyes were filled with terror. They felt no pain in their bodies, losing control of their physical forms. Only their eyes could look around.
As far as their eyes could see, their comrades were pinned to the ground just like them.
After unleashing this move, Jiang Fan felt a bit weak. He forced himself to flash back to the carriage and said to Zhuo Yuanming: "The rest will be left for you to handle."
Jiang Fan didn't give him a chance to refuse, and calmly closed the carriage door and drew the curtains.
However, in Zhuo Yuanming's eyes, all of this was a test given to him by Jiang Fan. For a moment, he felt extremely excited.
