Chapter 1774 War Resumes

Alex looked down to where his father was and smiled as he saw that his father had come victorious against the person he was fighting against.

Alex had wanted to go help him, but that would just bring the attention of the entire army in that direction and he needed to keep their attention here for the most part.

Soon, Graham and a few other soldiers managed to take hold of the teleportation building, shutting it down for the time being.

No more soldiers came to aid the Dragon Emperor from the teleportation formation anymore, so only those who had managed to teleport in were able to help the empire in the war.

Unfortunately, enough soldiers had already come in that the battle wasn't going to be as easy as Alex would've hoped for it to be.

The Emperor's army created layers in front of the Emperor that they would have to beat to get across to the Emperor.

There were 3 layers in total, each acting in unison as though the same body. These people had a lot of training when it came to just war, something the Southern Continent lacked a little.

Alex's soldiers were in war formations too, but they weren't sure how strong it would be against the enemy. This was their first war in millennia, so there was nothing for them to compare this information with.

Still, they hoped that the Hell Emperor's Divine Battle Array would be enough to overcome any other disparity that they had.

Alex saw the many groups of soldiers on the enemy side forming clumps where they were ready to use the Dragon Array to empower someone.

Alex could see who would probably be the target for that. There were about 20 different strong individuals that could be improved upon.

Alex sent a mental note to everyone strong to target those 20 people.

"Get ready!" Alex bellowed as loudly as he could so that his entire army to hear him over the sound of the battle that still raged all around him. "The real war starts here."

Everyone got their weapons and attacks ready and looked at the enemy army who seemed ready to get into the fight as well.

"Attack!"

"KILL THEM ALL!"

'Come on. Use it already.'

Alex was waiting for the old man to use his Immortal Qi. As long as he could dodge that and be sure that the old man no longer had any more Immortal Qi to work with, Alex could charge at him without any care and kill him.

The two of them exchanged a few more attacks before Alex realized that the old man wasn't going to actively seek to kill him unless Alex did something to threaten him first.

As the understanding fell upon Alex, his sword glowed bright white before colors took over the surface. To anyone not aware of what was going on, the attack looked as normal as it always had.

Alex swung the sword and it flew in the old man's direction. The old man flipped his halberd, causing a whirlpool of golden energy to form in front of him, which quickly sought to consume the incoming attack.

The two attacks landed and the old man felt the difference in the new attack.

The golden ornament that was pinned to his hair buzzed with a dull ringing sound and the old man realized that he had been attacked with a Spiritual attack.

However, he hadn't sensed the attack coming at all.

Alex swung again, sending another attack. The old man used an attack of his own to contend with Alex's, and the aftermath brought another spiritual attack, one that affected him directly.

It was so strong that his artifact hadn't been able to completely block the damage.

The old man flew back in panic, and another attack flew toward him. He dodged it, but then Alex dashed in the direction he dodged.

Alex charged toward the old man like a meteor, and with no choice, the Old man quickly used the Immortal Qi in his body to pour into his halberd and struck out.

The Immortal metal attack struck Alex, and the illusion fell apart into motes of yellow light.

"Wha—"

Before the old man realized, Alex had already appeared behind him and struck him. A barrier appeared before the old man to block Alex's attack. However, for some reason, the same barrier that had done quite well to block most of the attacks before was torn apart like paper from this final attack.

In one fell sweep, Alex cleaved through the old man entirely, killing him and his soul at once. As a result, he found a pathway to go past the first layer of soldiers to make it to the next one.
