Beginning in early December, the ecstasy formations on Anping Road and Nanxiang Road became ineffective and could no longer reduce Tonghuo City's supply efficiency.

Many leaders of the Soul Sacrifice Pass decided to completely abandon the defense outside the Soul Sacrifice Pass. Many troops hidden in the wild were all transferred back, and all small gathering places were abandoned.

Only a few troops are still hiding in underground cities or hidden valley bases. These strongholds can only hide a few hundred combatants, and the scattered numbers may add up to twenty or thirty thousand.

The Sixth Army Alliance basically doesn't care about these little shrimps and doesn't bother to spend time searching for them.

Because they couldn't gather together, they didn't have heavy siege equipment, or even stronger warships, so they couldn't do anything.

On this kind of battlefield, the bravery of a small group of troops has no effect at all.

Even if tens of thousands of people gather together, if there is not even a fifth-level warship, three to five hundred Zhou Dynasty soldiers can chase them away.

In low- and mid-level battlefields, large magic weapons, siege weapons, and flying warships can play a decisive role.

Like when Long Xiao and Zhao Xing encountered the Dark Flame Warship, if the other party didn't open the barrier, they could only stare blankly.

The same goes for killing Qian Shougang. Only when the opponent took the initiative to leave the air fortress of the warship did they have the opportunity. Otherwise, they would have to watch Qian Shougang's men fly back to the Black Dragon Army's base.

The wilderness outside the pass is vast. Once the Soul Sacrifice Pass is conquered, you can mobilize the army to slowly pass through the sieve to find military exploits.

There are sixteen armies of different factions defending the Soul Sacrifice Pass. Some of them are members of the Fire Demon Tribe, some are from the Holy Spirit Court, and some belong to other tribes from the Golden Feather Court.

The big leader elected by the sixteen armies is called "Wraith", and Morik is just a small leader ranked at the bottom.

There is also a ‘strategist’ from the Xuantian Sect under Ming Hun, named ‘Taoist Longyang’.

It was also he who ordered to shrink his strength and defend with all his strength.

Two months ago, Wraith was still able to fight back and forth with the Six Army Alliance of Great Zhou.

Even a small leader like Morik can harass Tonghuo City in the rear.

Now, two months later, Wraith has completely turned to defense. Not a single warship is sent, not a single ghost is released, and it is purely defending the city.

The gray-black boundary stretches into a line on the horizon.

Zhao Xing stood on the boat and looked out into the distance. He could see that the sky in front of him had completely darkened.

If you look closely, you can see that there are many ghosts roaring on the barrier.

"The Soul Sacrifice Pass stretches for hundreds of miles. Because there are too many ghosts, the whole world is filled with Yin Qi."

The defense level of Soul Sacrifice Pass is not as high as that of Fire Dragon Pass, but it requires specific tools and professions to fight.

Because its barrier is rooted in the underworld, it tears a hole in the underworld and releases the yin energy continuously.

Normal siege equipment will have its effect weakened, and other professions will also be weakened when they enter this area to fight.

It has formed a field that is only suitable for underworld professions such as priests and soul control warlocks.

"If there was only the Shenwei Army, the Xuanjia Army, and the Zhenhai Army as a three-service alliance, then this battle would not be easy to fight."

"But with the addition of the Huanyou Army, Zhaoyuan Army, and Yuanhua Army, the situation will be different." Zhao Xing said secretly.

The Zhaoyuan Army and the Yuanhua Army both had priest camps that were purely combat-oriented. As for the Huanyou Army, they were mainly priests.

As for the Shenwei Army and Zhen Haijun, there are not many combat-type priest professions. A battalion with a thousand people can only be equipped with ten to twenty priests. There are not many masters, most of them are ninth-grade, eighth-grade and seventh-grade.

Too few to form a camp alone.

The Xuanjia Army did have a priest battalion, but Xia Jing didn't consider that they would encounter people from the Holy Spirit Court when he was selecting them.

"It's different now."

While Zhao Xing was waiting for the supplies to be unloaded, the Alliance Army also began to tackle key problems.

Among them, the most important weapon for solving critical problems is called the ‘Hunyuan Boundary Breaking Vehicle’.

The name sounds very majestic, but it is actually a "five-element catapult" installed on a warship.

The warship that carries it is also called the Hunyuan warship or the Five Elements warship.

They were lined up thirty miles outside the Soul Sacrifice Pass and launched in the air.

The entire warship serves this kind of custom-breaking weapon.

There are many kinds of materials that Zhao Xing planted in Tonghuo City, which are consumables needed for Hunyuan's boundary-breaking warships.

"Boom boom boom!"

A burst of blue light appeared on the left deck of the Hunyuan warship, and there were twenty mechanics behind each catapult.

When they were launched, the world around the warship camp was rendered blue, and the power of water became extremely rich.

The first round of launches are all [Golden Rock Catapults].

One by one, giant boulders with a diameter of eight meters and a quasi-spherical polyhedron roared towards the Soul Sacrifice Guanchengfang.

It dragged its khaki tail and crashed onto the black barrier.

The black barrier suddenly covered a ten-mile radius and was eroded and dyed earthy yellow.

The barrier at the Soul Sacrifice Pass is called the 'Xuantian Yin Five Elements Formation', and the largest sectarian force in the Holy Spirit Dynasty is the Xuantian Sect.

This array is tailor-made for the Holy Spirit King's Court and can be defended by the power of the underworld.

Spears and shields, offense and defense, overall, spears are stronger, but it depends on the situation.

The Soul Sacrifice Pass has a large area to defend, but the Six Army Alliance focuses on attacking one area.

On the current black barrier, a large area of ​​khaki appeared, as if it had been patted into a puddle of mud.

The first batch of Hunyuan warships launched, and the second batch of Hunyuan warships launched the second batch of 'big rocks' without any gaps.

The second batch launched was [Lihuo Catapult].

Zhao Xing planted the fifth-level materials in the volcano in the south of Tonghuo City, including 'Split Crown Wood', 'Fengqi Wood', and 'Fire Bamboo', all of which are fire-element materials and are consumables for making 'Lihuo Stone'.

The fiery red boulder fell immediately after the earthy yellow boulder.

The patch of earthy yellow on the black barrier was suddenly covered in flames.

Black, who was originally recovering lost ground, suddenly slowed down.

The purpose of the double throwing of fire and earth is not to break through the black barrier defense, but to solidify and destroy the self-repair of the Yin Five Elements Barrier.

Immediately afterwards came the third batch of boulder launches - [Heavy Water Catapult]

The blue water mass, rippling with intoxicating light, covers the flame that has just been extinguished.

"Buzz~"

The entire barrier suddenly became transparent.

After the Soul Sacrifice was closed, the solidified earthy yellow barrier suddenly became brittle.

A large amount of ink color faded away, and the barrier began to shake, as if intense energy had been consumed.

The fourth batch - [Gengjin Catapult]

"Boom boom boom!"

The power of Gengjin's stone throws was much greater. When they hit the light blue ice crystals, they immediately opened big holes in the barrier.

However, it didn't take long for the black barrier to be repaired and all the colors erased.

The warships on Dazhou's side began a new round of bombardment with earth, fire, water, and metal.

"This kind of stupid battle is purely a waste of logistics." Zhao Xing shook his head. "On the low-level battlefield, the Hunyuan warship is a castrated version, and it still lacks the most important wooden skills."

The wooden row throws stones, which throws a large number of seventh-level seeds and seedlings over.

All the ones selected are carefully selected ‘exotic species’.

They can use the barrier as nourishment! Take root in the defensive barrier!

The energy supply of the barrier can be drained quickly, and it is not that simple to restore it.

"The complete version of the Hunyuan warship has fifth-grade and fourth-grade military commanders sitting in charge. The four-line launcher in front also has a corresponding warlock battalion."

"When hitting Mu Xing, if circumstances permit, Jun Sinong's pure Yuan projection will also cover the barrier, doubling the power."

However, a full-level Hunyuan warship, equipped with so many masters, usually appears in high-level battlefields, such as attacking the royal city.

As for now?

Now all we have to do is deal with the Soul Sacrifice.

The bombardment method of the Hunyuan warship puts a lot of pressure on logistics, and the magic circle of the Soul Sacrifice Pass also consumes a lot of money.

Now let's see who can't stand it first.

Even if there is only one gap that cannot be restored, the army can break through the level and go in for the kill.

On December 15, Zhao Xing once again brought eight warships to transport materials to break the formation and arrived in front of the Soul Sacrifice Pass.

At this time, Soul Sacrifice Pass had been under continuous attack for seven days.

However, the Xuantian Yin Five Elements Formation is still strong, and every time it breaks a gap, it is quickly filled.

On December 22, Zhao Xing came to the Soul Sacrifice Pass again to deliver supplies.

The planting direction of Tonghuo City has been completely adjusted, and the main purpose is to plant siege consumable materials.
