Shortly after.
The entire city was engulfed in flames of war, but the advance of the Chiming Army suddenly halted!
It wasn't because they were kind-hearted and couldn't bear to continue the war, but because mirror monsters had emerged from the mirrors and glass surfaces on the streets!
Countless mirror monsters ferociously attacked the Chiming Army, preventing their further advance.
Fearless of death, the mirror monsters continuously burst out of the mirror world, engaging in fierce battles with the Chiming Army. The residual energy from the explosions caused nearby buildings to crumble.
In other locations, the remaining three armies that were scattered throughout the city were also met with mirror monster resistance, resulting in widespread battles.
The once peaceful city had completely transformed. In every corner, monsters clashed with monsters, creating a chaotic scene. From above, almost every part of the city was in ruins.
On the roof of a skyscraper on the outskirts of the city.
Ying Fei, Hong Yin Ye, and Yu Xi, along with their group, appeared at the top, observing the chaotic battlefield from above.
After a moment, Hong Yin Ye spoke first, his voice filled with confusion. "Strange, the human army of this world only used cannon fire initially. They haven't been seen since. Do they have another plan?"
As his voice trailed off, Yu Xi immediately followed, "It depends on how ruthless they are willing to be. They could use missiles to bombard their own city. But if they dare to do that, our hidden assassination team will take their lives in an instant."
Hong Yin Ye nodded slightly, then continued, "But I'm curious, why haven't their knight forces appeared yet?"
As his words faded, several Imperial soldiers were suddenly knocked into the air on the battlefield to the left of the city, landing in the clutches of the mirror monsters, who then cruelly killed them.
"Heh, heh, heh, ultimately, they're just monsters. Faced with the power of knights, they're nothing but overgrown chickens and dogs, easily crushed with a flick of the wrist!"
As this mocking voice echoed, a pink-clad masked rider, Hai Yao, emerged from a shattered mirror on the wall.
Wielding a tail-like pink whip, she walked and attacked, sending surrounding Imperial soldiers flying within a short time.
With Hai Yao's entry into the battlefield, other Dragon Ride world knights also burst out of the mirror world, specifically targeting areas with fewer soldiers.
These knights, unlike the amateurs Ying Fei had encountered before, possessed significantly higher combat capabilities. Their attacks were more fierce and efficient, striking directly at vital points.
It was evident that their cold-blooded fighting style was a product of professional training!
Using masked riders to eliminate monsters seemed highly efficient, but in the face of overwhelming numbers, their strength was still too weak.
Moreover, this level of force wouldn't make much difference.
However, the people of this world didn't think so.
The council members hiding in shelters watched their screens, witnessing the masked riders wreaking havoc, and let out excited shouts.
"Hahaha, what difference does it make if they have more numbers? With the combined power of masked riders and mirror monsters, their defeat is inevitable!"
"Heh, they're just a bunch of reckless outsiders. With the mirror monsters, the gap in numbers has been narrowed. And their lack of high-level combat power like masked riders is the key reason for their failure."
"Exactly. Without masked riders, you're like toothless tigers, easily crushed!"
"I believe they'll retreat soon due to heavy casualties. It's our victory then."
"Unfortunately, rebuilding the damaged city will cost a fortune. Those damn monsters, I wish they'd all just die!"
.
On the skyscraper on the outskirts.
Seeing the Ya Blood Tribe soldiers being killed, Yu Xi's neck and jaw instantly glowed with patterns, transforming him into Thorn Blood Devil. He grabbed the Man-Eating Blade and leaped from the skyscraper.
Witnessing this, Ying Fei decided to let the masked riders fight the masked riders to minimize the casualties among his soldiers.
"Yin Ye, inform An Mi Xiu, and let our knights engage."
Hong Yin Ye nodded, pulled out a communicator from his chest, and contacted An Mi Xiu.
Outside the city, in the commander-in-chief's tent.
An Mi Xiu put away his communicator and looked at the several individuals standing directly in front of the sand table. He said calmly, "His Majesty's orders, the enemy's masked riders have engaged. Your mission is to eliminate them. Understood?"
"Understood!"
Following An Mi Xiu's order, Masked Rider Dragon Fang, Masked Rider Emperor, Masked Rider Black Armor, Masked Rider Cold, and Masked Rider Excalibur, all pounded their chests in salute!
Then, the five masked riders left the commander-in-chief's tent and swiftly charged into the battlefield to face the thirteen knights of the Dragon Ride world.
Not long after.
On a street in the city, dozens of Imperial soldiers gradually retreated, maintaining a distance from the two masked riders in front of them.
Masked Rider Night Rider and Masked Rider Iron Soldier followed closely behind. The former wielded a winged spear, while the latter held a massive cannon barrel, gradually closing in.
"Scared now, huh? Don't run away! Take another one of my shots!"
Iron Soldier grasped his massive launcher tightly, aimed at the retreating Imperial soldiers, and pulled the trigger, firing a high-pressure energy blast!
The blast had immense power, capable of destroying a building with a single shot, but the recoil was equally massive. After firing, Iron Soldier himself was knocked back several meters.
Due to the energy blast's incredible speed, the Imperial soldiers couldn't dodge and could only wait for death with their eyes open.
But at the critical moment, a blade of light, shaped like a sword, flew in from a distance, striking and exploding Iron Soldier's energy blast in a single blow!
The shockwave from the explosion instantly sent the Imperial soldiers flying to safety. Then, sensing something, they turned to look at the direction from which the blade of light had flown.
Iron Soldier and Night Rider followed their gazes, and then they saw a black figure with gold trim walking towards them.
"Impossible. Is that a masked rider?"
Emperor, wielding the Underworld Sword, casually sliced away a mirror monster that was charging at him. He then pulled out the phone on his belt, switched it to gun mode, and locked onto Night Rider and Iron Soldier, firing a laser beam!
Seeing this, Night Rider immediately swung his winged spear, shattering the incoming laser beam.
"You guys go support elsewhere, this one's mine."
Knowing that the newcomer was an ally, the Imperial soldiers nodded gratefully to Emperor and then quickly withdrew.
"Don't even think about running!"
