Chapter 20: The Destruction of the Liu Kingdom
On the city wall.
Liu Su frowned: "Divine Court?"
"Your Majesty, this so-called Divine Court seems to be that unknown force."
"To dare call themselves Gods, what arrogance!"
Liu Su scoffed, they just destroyed a Gu Country, yet they really think highly of themselves!
"No need to pay attention to their barking, I want to see just how capable the other side is!"
Below the city wall.
The messenger saw that the other side did not respond and stopped shouting; his task was complete anyway. Since they did not put their God in their eyes, when their God displayed great divine power, it would be too late.
Soon, this person relayed the message back.
"Let the army directly attack the city, no need to worry about getting injured."
Jiang Fan signaled Zhuo Yuanming to attack the city directly.
"We obey the divine oracle!"
"All forces attack!"
"Kill!"
The mighty army surged towards the city like a tide.
"Hmph, truly ignorant and fearless! To dare attack directly!"
Liu Su smiled, forty thousand troops wanting to capture their city was wishful thinking. However, the more ignorant the opponent was, the happier he was. Anyway, when they reached the city walls, the advantage would be with him, and they could shoot arrows at the enemy without restraint.
"Archers, prepare!"
"Whoosh——"
The archers lined up in a row on the city wall.
"Fire!"
"Swish——"
Arrows covered the sky and sun. Jiang Fan's army looked towards the sky. Although they knew Jiang Fan was overseeing them, they couldn't help but feel panicked at this moment.
Looking at the volley of arrows, Jiang Fan waved his hand, and the phantom of a golden fortress protected the army.
"Clang clang clang——"
Arrows fell like rain, densely hitting the fortress. Not a single arrow could break through the defense and cause any damage to the army within.
"Our Lord's divine power!"
"Keep charging!"
Everyone was excited. When Jiang Fan was the enemy before, they felt despair. Now the situation was reversed, and with a God overseeing them, they felt their lives were safe!
Suddenly, many soldiers began to slowly convert into fanatical believers.
Looking back at the Liu Country side.
"What!"
"What is this thing! How can it withstand hundreds of thousands of our army's arrows and still be unharmed!"
Liu Su was dumbfounded. He had thought of many scenarios but couldn't have guessed the outcome would be like this.
"Your Majesty, this method is definitely not something Humans can grasp. This Divine Court might truly have a God as they claim..."
The ministers calmed down and quickly speculated.
Liu Su also reacted: "So what if it's a God! This golden fortress must have a limit! As long as we break this fortress, my million strong army can also kill a God!"
"Use flaming arrows! Bring up the trebuchets! Keep suppressing them with arrows, and when they enter the trebuchet range, attack fiercely together!"
"Rumble rumble rumble——"
One after another, huge trebuchets were pushed up.
The archers were still continuously shooting to suppress the enemy's advance, but under the protection of Jiang Fan's divine power, all attacks were like child's play and caused no substantial damage.
Just like that, the forty thousand strong army easily reached the city walls.
"Launch the stones!"
Liu Su ordered.
Giant stones were continuously launched, smashing towards the army below the city wall.
"Bang! Bang! Bang——"
The giant stones hitting the fortress were still deflected as before. The army began to attack the city gate.
"Bang!"
The fierce impact loosened the city gate slightly.
Seeing this, everyone immediately brought up the siege engines, preparing to ram open the city gate.
Liu Su above was anxious: "Don't let them breach the city! Pour boiling oil and burn them to death!"
For a moment, a downpour of oil rained down from the city, followed by torches being thrown down one after another.
Below the city wall, a raging fire immediately ignited.
Jiang Fan watched with an amused expression. They thought this could break his divine power protection?
The two sides were not on the same dimension at all; it was simply a dimensionality reduction strike. From the moment they became his enemies, the outcome was already destined—certain defeat!
Liu Su watched as the fortress kept the fire out, his face becoming even uglier.
Is divine power truly so invincible...
No! I still have a million strong army! I can definitely kill a God!
"Leave the city and face the enemy! Since ranged attacks are useless! Then let's fight! My Liu Country has a million strong army! We can definitely turn the tide!"
Liu Su roared.
As his order was given, the city gate slowly opened, and the army directly charged towards Jiang Fan's forces.
Watching his soldiers safely enter the phantom of the fortress, Liu Su smiled. As expected, this fortress could only defend against ranged attacks.
Now he wanted to see how the opponent's forty thousand strong army would resist his million strong army!
"The small skirmish ends here."
Jiang Fan slowly stood up. It was time to end the battle. These Human Race would be his people in the future, and he couldn't let them die.
"The new era of the Human Race has arrived."
A majestic voice spread throughout the battlefield, followed by a massive pressure sweeping over the entire area.
Everyone immediately stopped their movements obediently.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Fan used shrink ground into an inch, walking towards the city step by step.
In just a few breaths, he arrived below the city wall.
"Retreat!"
The direct soul-hitting whispers made the million strong army unable to stand steadily, and they instinctively moved aside step by step as Jiang Fan instructed.
Jiang Fan slowly ascended: "In ancient time, I incarnated as a Sage and led you all to develop. After many years, the Human Race progressed from barbarism to civilization.
War brings many things, and also loses many things. Today, I descend as a God once more to lead you all towards a new future."
The crowd below cheered fanatically:
"Praise our Lord!"
"Our Lord is great!"
Liu Su's face was extremely grim as he watched Jiang Fan flying in the air. The ministers also dared not speak; at this moment, the entire situation was under the opponent's control.
"Believe in our Lord. In ancient time, it was our Lord who led us to develop. Now that our Lord has descended as a God, we should also merge and unify as before, cooperating with our Lord's divine oracle."
Zhuo Yuanming said fanatically!
Seeing this, others also spoke up one after another.
"In ancient time there was a Sage! Our Lord's incarnation!"
"Today a God descends! Unify and merge!"
...
...
"Impossible! Delusional! My empire is not something you can covet! What damned Gods, what Sages, they are all historical fabrications, misleading the masses with evil words! Kill them for me!"
An untimely voice rang out. The ministers around him looked at Liu Su in astonishment one by one.
Your Majesty, can't you see the situation clearly right now?
Consequently, one by one, they moved away from Liu Su, not wanting to be implicated.
Noticing the ministers continuously moving away from him, Liu Su's already dark face became even darker.
Jiang Fan in the sky frowned. It seemed he had to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys.
"Heh, insulting a Sage, death!"
Jiang Fan glanced at him.
Liu Su's body uncontrollably drew the sword from his waist and slowly placed it against his neck under everyone's gaze.
"St...Stop..."
Liu Su's pupils constricted, fear surging into his heart, but no matter how he called out, his body still moved uncontrollably.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered three feet high, and Liu Su's body slowly fell from the city wall.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, the others had no will to resist and surrendered their weapons one by one.
Throughout the entire war, only the Liu Country's monarch died.
Congratulations, congratulations...
Liu Country is destroyed——
