"As long as we strike the final blow, we can completely shatter the morale of the alien forces in the city. Once their morale collapses, Sunset City will fall to Great Yi with near certainty. Nothing hits harder than an elite army suddenly appearing inside their stronghold. It's like plunging a dagger straight into the enemy's heart. They're nothing but a disorganized mob—no matter how they try to unite, they're still scattered sand."
Jia Xu spoke calmly.
To him, the battlefield had become clear. The aliens, numerous as they were, could not withstand the relentless assault of Great Yi's five grand legions. From the very beginning, they had been on the defensive and consistently suppressed. Were it not for their defensive posture, they'd have been massacred already. Even now, their resistance was pitiful.
The goblin war chariots, with their immense power, relentlessly suppressed the defenders on the walls. Accompanied by wave after wave of arrow volleys, there was no reprieve. Screams rang out as bodies toppled from the walls, blood staining the battlements.
Shuaa!!
A spatial gate opened on the battlefield.
"Demonbreaker Legion, follow me into Sunset City! Crush them from within!"
Zhang Fei roared, riding his warhorse and charging through the portal. The Demonbreaker Legion surged behind him.
Inside Sunset City
The spatial gate appeared without warning. A nearby werewolf, curious, approached to investigate—only to be impaled by a serpent spear that shot forward like a striking viper. The blow pierced his throat and hurled him into the air before violently tearing his body apart.
"No! The humans have breached the city! They can teleport their forces inside?"
"It's over! We're under siege from both outside and within. The city's lost—we must retreat before the encirclement tightens!"
"Run! Flee Sunset City while we still can! Staying here is suicide!"
The alien warriors, watching the human troops pour in with mountain-crushing momentum, felt despair eclipse any will to fight. Panic erupted. Chaos reigned. Many jumped off the walls in desperation, scrambling through unguarded exits.
Sunset City was enormous. Great Yi's forces, though vast, couldn't entirely seal every route of escape. They did what they could—unleashing relentless arrow barrages, pinning down wave after wave of fleeing aliens. Few resisted. It had become a one-sided slaughter.
"Damn these humans! Ambushing us from both sides! But you won't trap me—Alistar, chieftain of the minotaurs!"
On the walls, a towering minotaur stood resolute. In his eyes gleamed not just raw courage, but rare intelligence. His gaze was cold and calculating. Had the defenders been solely minotaurs, he might've had a chance—but the city was a chaotic mix of races, each with their own agendas. His voice held no weight beyond his own people.
The battle was lost. Even divine intervention would be too late. Now, his only move was to gather the minotaurs and break out.
"I am Alistar, Chieftain of the Minotaurs!"
With a roar, Alistar's body surged upward, swelling to dozens of zhang tall. His horns gleamed with a chilling light, his muscular frame radiating savage might.
"It's the chieftain! Find him!"
"Yes! Chieftain Alistar is the pride of our people! Follow him—we'll survive this!"
The minotaurs, hearing his voice, rallied. Alistar was a legendary figure among them—both a cunning leader and a mighty warrior. Now, as he activated his Minotaur Battle Form, he became a beacon of hope in the chaos. Within moments, over ten thousand minotaurs had gathered around him, eyes filled with reverence and fanaticism.
"Goblin war chariots—target the minotaur chieftain! Fire the crystal cannons!!"
Feng Yumo spotted Alistar's towering form and didn't hesitate. To her, he was a perfect target.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The crystal cannons fired in succession, sending bolts of blinding white light toward Alistar.
"You think you can kill me? Keep dreaming!"
With a roar, a divine light surged from Alistar's body. Behind him, an enormous, phantasmal minotaur war god materialized in the air. The pressure it exuded suffocated even the air itself.
🌀 Totem – Minotaur War God Totem-based cultivation unique to beastkin. Like human "Life Diagrams," beastkin develop external "Totems" etched into their flesh, directly linked to their body. Once activated, a totem grants immense strength and divine powers.
With a roar, the minotaur totem unleashed a shockwave of golden soundwaves. The cannon blasts shattered midair—completely neutralized.
"Totem—Alistar has reached the Life Diagram Realm. Such power!"
Yi Tianxing, atop his Nine-Dragon War Chariot, narrowed his eyes. He recognized the Minotaur Totem from ancient texts—its divine art known as:
✨ Bull Demon Totem — Triumphant Roar
A divine ability that turns a roar into a devastating force, even shattering crystal cannon blasts.
"MOVE!"
Alistar leapt from the walls, landing with such force that the ground cracked like a spiderweb. His totem stomped down as well, triggering a shockwave that made the earth tremble. The tremor surged beneath the goblin war chariots, throwing them into the air.
The Vermillion Bird Legion, caught in the quake, were shaken and injured—some vomiting blood as internal organs ruptured.
"CHARGE!"
Alistar roared again, leading his people in a furious breakout.The minotaur charge was like a herd of maddened bulls—unstoppable and wild. Taking advantage of the disarray, they broke through the siege line.
Alistar's massive frame surged forward, covering hundreds of meters in a single step. His momentum was that of a mythical beast.
"You want to escape? Take me on first!"
Yi Tianxing's gaze turned cold. With a flick of his wrist, he struck toward Alistar with deadly intent...
