THE REAL POWER OF THE PHOENIX LANDS ON A WALL TECHNIQUE

The arrival of the Flame Shadow army heralds a change in the course of the battle. Their first move had injured all the mighty Sword Sovereigns and quasi-Sword Sovereign realm cultivators.

There was a display of their might for all to see, no wonder the legends all stated that where ever the Flame Shadow army passed on the death and destruction remained. Their power is top-notch and not many armies could be their opponents.

To have a Sword Emperor realm cultivator as their general should mean there are a lot of peak late Sword Sovereign realm and quasi-Sword Emperor realm experts among their numbers.

To think the Black Dragon Empire has such a formidable force hidden away sends shivers down the spine of many of the hidden experts watching from the clouds. Many began to hide their auras even more meticulously.

Should they be found out, it might be their end. Some of the weaker ones quite slipped away. It is not worth being killed just to be able to watch a battle. But the more curious ones who had faith in their ability not to be found continued to watch.

The wounded Blue Flame castle soldiers hurried back to join their compatriots atop the castle walls. They watched on with solemn countenance as the roiling black clouds settled on the ground.

For the first time in the past ten thousand years, some very selected few people finally saw the appearance of the Flame Shadow army and still live to tell the story.

Today they are seized to be just a legend told to scare children into being good children, the legend is no longer a myth but a reality. The terrifying stories told would now have a physical basis.

As the cloud thinned out one could see a neatly aligned contingent in groups of hundreds and a leader in front of each contingent assembled behind a man riding a black wind condor.

The black wind condor is a horse local demon beast with a dragon-like head and black scales instead of fur. They are not too gigantic and are capable of riding the wind without having wings.

The Flame Shadow army were all dressed in black armour with their face covered with sinister-looking masks. Each had a black most bellowing gently around them. They all rode a black wind condor.

Each soldier carried a sword box on their back, and on their black gloves, one could see an endless row of short daggers that were giving off a metallic glow at the tips. Each of these soldiers was built thick and taller than the average cultivator.

They had very robust muscular builds due to the special technique they cultivate. The black mist bellowing around them gave them a more sinister appearance. They look like a phantom army from hell itself.

As they stood facing the Blue Flame palace, a cold and sinister chill could be felt spreading along the whole place. Even the early morning sun began to lose its glow as its cold and dark aura swept all over the surroundings.

Stop the Blue Flame Palace everyone had a grim expression on their faces. The opponent this time must not be trifled with. They would have to go all out if they want to have a say in the next battle.

Instead of the impressive aura of the enemy suppressing them and causing them dismay and disheartened; their appearance rather made their resolve to become more resolute.

They looked into each other's faces and shouted to boost their morale. This was self-motivation being taken to the next level.

" The Blue Flame Empire shall reign forever!!! The Blue Flame Empire shall reign forever!!!, the Blue Flame Empire shall reign forever!!!!" their shouts echoed throughout the Imperial City.

People who heard their shouts could not help but be moved. They even began to wish that such heroic men would not perish but somehow come up on top of the battle is over and everything is settled.

How naive they were, if they were to see the army these Blue Flame Empire soldiers were up against. They would have had a different sentiment altogether. For the Blue Flame palace to win this battle, it would take a massive amount of miracles and effort.

Even though they knew they were fighting a lost battle, the plan now was to take as much of the enemy down as they could and delay their defeat long enough for the families to make it safely to the secret realm.

This was the reason for this fight in the first place. It was just a roost to confuse and distract the Black Dragon Empire whilst their national treasures and the royal family with the rest of their family to escape.

The Flame Shadow army just stood at their initial position whilst looking at the Blue Flame Palace soldiers shout and encouraged themselves. From their calm demeanour, one could see that the loud cheer earlier didn't even catch their notice.

It was as if it had nothing to do with them. Their general lifted his hand and a huge banner was let loose to flap above their contingent. On the banner, one could see a silver dragon wrapped around a giant skull and a sword floating above them.

With the banner, the aura and coldness emitted by the Flame Shadow army double in intensity. At this point the sun was covered by the presence of their darkness and the otherwise bright morning turned into a gloomy shade of grey.

As the sun's rays vanished completely, a bright blue hue could be seen spreading with the Blue Flame palace as its epicentre. It quickly spread across the sky above the Blue Flame palace.

The warmth and heat it brought dispelled a large portion of the bitter cold and wind the enemy's aura had evoked. The heavy atmosphere lightened considerably and those who were being suffocated by the Flame Shadows' army's aura could breathe a bit easier.

The presence of the Blue Flame had formed a large fiery Phoenix that hovered above the Blue Flame palace hence the Blue hue that spread warmth earlier. This was the ace of the Blue Flame Empire,

Its presence showed its determination to go all out. Two thousand spirit realm cultivators, four Sword Sovereign cultivators and a Blue Flame against an army of a thousand Sword Sovereign cultivators, ten quasi-Sword Emperor realm cultivators and an early-stage Sword Emperor realm expert.

The odds were not looking good for the Blue Flame Palace side, they are completely outmatched and shouldn't even stand a chance against this mighty Flame Shadow army contingent.

Even one group of hundred soldiers Sword Sovereigns and their Quadi-Emperor captain should be able to sweep through the enemy's ranks witwithoutny problems at all.

The gap between one major realm is an insurmountable chasm. The difference is so huge that only the truly favoured sons and daughters of heaven could breach this gap. And those who could do this through out history can be counted on one hand.

So doom is already upon the soldiers of the Blue Flame palace side. This should be a merciless one-sided massacre. How can an ant seek to stop the rolling wheels of a cart?

Defying all logic, the generals on the Blue Flame palace sides, shouted for their soldiers to be informed as they began their match towards the imposing Shadow Flame army's waiting side.

Can the Bleu Flame palace hold on and win this battle or is it just going to be a one-sided quick merciless massacre?
