Chapter 205: The City Walls Are Trembling
Several surface-to-surface tactical missiles with long fiery trails launched from deep within the fortress.
They arced through the sky before slamming into the highest threat level targets at the very rear of the monster wave!
The earth-shattering explosions made hearts stop even from a great distance!
The mushroom clouds that rose up reached straight for the heavens!
The city wall itself was a steel behemoth spitting tongues of fire!
Heavy machine guns wove a dense storm of metal, frantically firing at the climbing beast tide, riddling any monsters attempting to scale the walls with holes.
High-rate-of-fire autocannons roared, blasting low-flying monsters out of the sky one after another, turning them into falling fireballs.
Thick spiritual energy crossbow bolts charged with energy shot out, piercing through the head of a Mountain Abomination, nailing its massive body firmly to the ground!
Life Soul lights of various colors and shapes lit up all along the city wall!
A strength-type Awakened individual went berserk and transformed, like a human-shaped tyrannosaurus, smashing a Bone Corrosion Hunter that had just appeared over the wall along with a large chunk of the battlement.Elemental-type Awakened individuals wielded flames, frost, and lightning, clearing attached monsters from the walls in swathes.
Explosive flashes, frozen ice sculptures, and rampaging electric snakes rose and fell in succession.
Support-type Awakened individuals desperately released healing auras, shields, and speed boosts, lights constantly flickering over the soldiers, propping up the battle line.
Special-type Awakened individuals had bizarre and unpredictable abilities;
some created illusions to confuse monsters, others used mental shocks to make monsters turn on each other...
The area where Su Zhan's squad was stationed instantly fell into bitter combat!
"Feng Jue! Left flank! Three have climbed up!"
Su Zhan roared, his Time Abyss Pupil instantly locking on, a powerful deceleration field covering the area. The movements of those three Bone Corrosion Hunters suddenly became sluggish!
A flash of sword light!
Feng Jue's figure swept past like a ghost, his Startling Swan Sword severing the vital points of the slowed monsters!
"Liu Ziming! Lightning net! Clear the right side wall!"
"Received!"
Liu Ziming slammed his hands onto the battlement, blinding lightning instantly spreading out, electrocuting seven or eight small monsters climbing on the right side until they were charred and smoking, screaming as they fell.
"Xie Xi! Front!"
Xie Xi swung her Destruction Scythe, a dark red arc of light shattering a Mist Creature in the air.
Xu Hao nervously moved among his teammates, using his teleportation ability to block sneak attacks for his teammates in time.
Explosions, gunfire, roars, shouts, screams...
All kinds of sounds mixed together, vibrating painfully in the eardrums!
The city wall trembled, the air burned!
Every minute, every second, someone was injured or fell. Medics braved the hail of bullets desperately dragging away the wounded.
Every minute, every second, countless Mist Creatures were torn apart by the powerful firepower, falling from the city wall.
But even more monsters kept coming wave after wave, as if endless!
This was the Mist Surge!
This was the true battlefield!
Grand, cruel, bloody, yet carrying a kind of heart-pounding, destructive magnificence!
Su Zhan's twin blades danced, slicing a Bone Corrosion Hunter that had luckily broken through the fire net into several pieces.
He gasped for breath, his gaze sweeping over this hellish battlefield.
He licked his somewhat chapped lips, the cold light in his eyes growing brighter.
"Bring it on!"
...
At a section of the wall under the greatest pressure.
Several medium-risk Siege Behemoths, under the cover of other small Mist Creatures, were using their heads covered in thick bone armor and specialized massive ramming horns to frantically smash against the same spot on this section of the wall!
The spiritual energy shield had long been overloaded and shattered. Cracks in the alloy-cast wall continuously expanded!
The soldiers' heavy firepower hitting their thick carapaces often only sparked, with minimal effect.
Several Awakened individuals tried to focus fire, but were forcibly suppressed by Shade Bat Demons circling overhead and acid spit from the ground, suffering continuous casualties!
It seemed this defense line was about to be breached!
"Everyone get out of my way!"
A thunderous roar came from behind!
A silver figure shot into the battlefield like a cannonball!
The scar-faced officer had directly entered his Moonlight Werewolf transformation state!
His nearly two-meter-tall powerful wolf body was covered in silver fur, muscles bulging as if about to burst.
He completely ignored the small monsters scratching and biting, his target extremely clear!
"Awooo—!!!"
A battlefield-shaking wolf howl suppressed the cacophony!
The scar-faced officer violently kicked off the ground, the solid wall bricks instantly cracking. The silver figure turned into a stream of light, pouncing directly at the largest Siege Behemoth charging at the front!
The behemoth seemed to sense the threat, letting out a muffled roar.
Its massive ramming horn suddenly lifted, aiming at the pouncing silver wolf!
However, the scar-faced officer's speed was unimaginably fast!
His body sharply sidestepped.
A wolf claw struck out.
"Thud—!"
Claws sank into flesh, tearing through sinew.
The Siege Behemoth let out an earth-shaking howl of agony, its massive body staggering violently.
A huge gash was torn open at its neck, dark red filthy blood gushing out!
The scar-faced officer didn't stop at all. His wolf claw grabbed the edge of the behemoth's bone armor, using the leverage to flip through the air, his other wolf claw thrusting into the eye socket of another behemoth trying to approach!
"Squelch!"
Red and white matter splattered!
The second behemoth shook its head wildly, emitting pained whimpers.
The moment he landed.
The scar-faced officer didn't even look, his thick wolf tail whipping out violently!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound.
A Bone Corrosion Hunter trying to sneak attack from the side was directly whipped until its bones broke, flying off the city wall like a ragged sack!
His fighting style was frenzied, precise, and efficient to the extreme!
Weaving and maneuvering among several behemoths.
Wherever he passed, broken armor flew and filthy blood splashed!
In just over ten seconds, the three most threatening Siege Behemoths were actually severely wounded or forced back by him alone!
The pressure suddenly decreased!
The surrounding soldiers and Awakened individuals' morale greatly boosted. Seizing the opportunity, they frantically poured out firepower, finally temporarily stabilizing this precarious defense line.
The scar-faced officer stood among the corpses and wounded beasts of several behemoths, his silver fur already stained dark red with filth.
He breathed slightly heavily, white hot air puffing from his mouth and nose.
Like a silver killing god guarding the city wall, standing firm and unyielding!
...
The section of the wall where Su Zhan's squad was located had now also turned into a bloody meat grinder.
The pressure hadn't lessened at all despite their fierce fighting.
Instead, as the Mist Surge continued to advance, more and more monsters noticed this section defended by student soldiers.
"Urgh—!"
A short, sharp scream came from not far to the right.
A student from another academy used his vine Life Soul to restrain a Bone Corrosion Hunter that had charged over the battlement.
But another hunter pouncing from the shadows directly bit through his throat!
Blood splattered on the face of his companion beside him.
That companion instantly froze in terror, instantly overwhelmed by the monsters surging up afterward!
This was just a tiny microcosm of the brutal battlefield.
