The Temple of Dawn Warriors, who were initially bewildered by the fierce attacks from the war fortress, calmed down upon hearing this voice and seeing the figure floating in mid-air.
The posthumous child also stopped attacking, reorganizing alongside the enemy, and the entire siege of the Royal City came to a complete halt due to a simple phrase and the appearance of one person.
This was the deterrent power of a ninth level expert.
One word from him, even directed at an enemy, demanded careful attention.
Of course, his current questioning made many not feel it was a query, but rather a statement of fact.
These two terrifying machines were specifically designed to deal with the ninth level holy father.
The Holy Maiden looked around, her eyes growing increasingly sorrowful. Many familiar faces had perished; in just a few hours, far too many elite members of the Sanctuary had sacrificed their lives. She began to doubt whether this war was truly justified. Even if they eventually triumphed and reached the New World spoken of by the Holy Father, could the Temple of Dawn ever regain its former glory?
She looked back up at the Holy Father, and there was a hint of unfamiliarity in her gaze.
“Not bad,” the Holy Father remarked again, but many felt a chill in his words.
The posthumous child and the Cloud Summit alliance initiated their attack first. The cross slicer from the war fortress shot out suddenly, whistling as it aimed at the Holy Father floating in the air.
The two war fortresses fired from different angles, creating an enclosing angle, one after the other. The first cross slicer was aimed slightly to the right, intending to force the Holy Father to dodge left, while the second was positioned perfectly to intercept.
It had to be said, this was a remarkably executed attack.
Sudden and precise.
The cross slicers were cold weapons, and these weapons did not remain still when fired; they spun at high speeds. Due to their complex structure, the trajectory of the slicers was curved when they flew out, making it difficult to judge their landing point.
The high-speed rotation not only made their direction unpredictable but also increased their power and speed.
Thus, when these two devices were launched, they reached the Holy Father in the blink of an eye, and only then did the piercing whistle of the slicers reach everyone’s ears.
The Temple of Dawn warriors felt their scalp tingle.
If these had been used earlier, with such speed and from a high position, it was certain that they could have claimed thousands of lives.
The posthumous child suddenly felt a surge of hope; it seemed that things from Earth could really work.
But in the next moment, everyone’s thoughts shifted.
The Holy Father vanished from his original spot and reappeared at the side.
Only a few individuals present were able to catch a glimpse of the Holy Father’s movement; to the others, it appeared as complete teleportation.
The two cross slicers flew into the sky, and at their center, where they had lost their target, flickered regular red lights—this was their smart sensors. After missing their target, they traced an arc in the air before flying back toward the war fortress.
Those behind the war fortress could now see that the section holding the cross slicers was a remarkably complex launch structure, no wonder it could provide such high initial speeds.
However, on their return, the speed of the two cross slicers was no longer as fast. The Holy Father, who had previously dodged, pointed, and immediately, members of the combat unit launched an attack, hitting the two still rotating massive weapons.
The cross slicers immediately deviated from their trajectory.
“Doesn’t seem that impressive,” the Holy Father scoffed coldly at the two large weapons, “Destroy them!”
Instantly, the battlefield, which had fallen silent due to his presence, erupted back into combat.
The Holy Father began to fly closer to the war fortress.
Any adversary felt fear when a ninth level expert approached, and the war fortress started launching combat missiles, the Fortune Bamboo!
