"The Evil God is here, quickly notify all Supremes to return to the capital!"
"Hurry, mobilize all troops to defend the city. We absolutely cannot let the Evil God harm His Majesty!"
"Should the army from the Monster Forest also return?"
"If His Majesty is harmed, what use is the army from the Monster Forest? Recall them all!"
"Yes! As commanded!"
The Imperial Guards within the palace city hurried to transmit messages to various locations.
They possessed similar long-range communication devices to rings, but their cost was exorbitant, and only high-ranking officials and powerful individuals were qualified to wear them.
*Crackle... Crackle...*
The ancient teleportation gate within the inner city of the Imperial Palace slowly opened.
Subsequently, one powerful individual after another emerged from the teleportation gate.
Of the original eight Supremes, Zhang Chen had already dealt with four, and another was currently battling Deloris and the three kittens.
The remaining three Supremes had also arrived.
Concurrently, the empire's strongest elite, the Scarlet Blood Camp, urgently recalled from the Monster Forest, also returned.
These soldiers had weathered the trials of the Monster Forest, possessing ferocious natures and immense strength.
Even an ordinary soldier's strength was equivalent to that of a vice-general in a regular army.
Over five thousand imposing figures, still stained with the blood of monsters, emerged from the teleportation gate in neat rows with grim expressions.
Accompanying them was the chilling aura they exuded!
These border troops were on an entirely different level from the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards were merely slightly stronger than ordinary troops and came from more noble backgrounds.
However, the border troops' combat experience and strength were forged through life and blood, akin to the difference between wild wolves and pet dogs.
The Imperial Guards, witnessing the formidable formation of the border troops, were struck dumb with fear, feeling the temperature around them drop by several degrees.
"Reinforcements have arrived, we are saved!"
The Imperial Guards rejoiced.
But as they turned their gazes to the outside of the palace city, to the world shrouded in dark clouds, their expressions once again turned grave.
Even though these border troops were mighty, and there were four Supremes...
Could they truly halt the advance of the Evil God?!
"Demon Suppressing Formation!"
The leader of the border troops narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke.
This formation was designed to deal with powerful, colossal demonic beasts, to trap them and force them to retreat.
The general of the border troops was not foolish. The moment he traversed through the gate and observed the situation outside the city, he had already formed a rough estimate.
Anyone capable of reaching the capital alone was no ordinary foe.
Therefore, he deployed his strongest military formation from the outset.
As the formation took shape, each border soldier's energy synchronized with the formation's energy field, becoming a unified entity.
At this moment, unless the formation's energy field could be directly shattered, any attack, no matter how powerful, would have its damage evenly distributed among the border troops.
Through the advantage of numbers, fatal attacks were weakened into minor injuries; this was the formidable aspect of this formation.
"Stand aside, I do not wish to engage in needless slaughter!"
Zhang Chen walked before the military formation and spoke coldly.
His voice was not loud, but it resonated with absolute clarity, reaching the minds of everyone within the formation of thousands of soldiers.
Simultaneously, as these words were uttered, the formation's energy field began to fluctuate uneasily.
"It seems this fellow is even more formidable than I imagined!"
"Everyone hold your positions and absolutely do not let the demon advance a single step!"
The general roared.
"Yes!"
Thousands of voices echoed in unison throughout the palace city.
"Alas, you are indeed valiant, your deaths are truly unwarranted!"
Zhang Chen declared, casually unleashing a beam of energy.
*Hiss!*
*Voom!*
The energy beam shot directly towards the general of the border troops. However, as it passed through the military formation, an invisible energy field suddenly intercepted the beam.
With a *pop*, the energy beam vanished.
"Oh? Quite interesting, I've never encountered this kind of skill before!"
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, the general and soldiers of the border troops, while appearing to have effortlessly blocked Zhang Chen's attack, were in fact enduring immense suffering.
With that single blow, the energy within their bodies began to surge chaotically.
This irregular fluctuation of energy was more agonizing than being punched in the chest.
They knew that the damage from Zhang Chen's attack had been divided into five thousand parts and inflicted upon each of them.
Without the military formation, they would have already suffered heavy casualties.
"Then... let me try this!"
Zhang Chen said, slowly raising his right hand and extending his index finger.
