Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 480: Beneath the City Walls (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Hongyue 5/10)

At this moment on The Battlefield, the rhythm of both the enemy and allied sides was still maintained very well. You attack, I defend, back and forth, Methodical, and even a bit boring.

But everything was under the control of the commanders of both sides; whenever necessary, they could launch a small climax.

For example, right now, while Li Wei's side's offensive had become a joke, the fifteen Siege Transports of the Mountain Eagle Legion continuously maneuvered nimbly, and up to now, not a single one had been lost.

Moreover, they had already advanced to within 2500 meters. Even though all the Gargoyles had been destroyed by this time, and even though the enemy was relying on the tall City Walls to continuously launch fierce attacks, raining down Great Fireballs, Stone Projectiles, and Ballista Bolts like a hurricane.

However, when the moment for counterattack arrived, it would be no less than a violent storm!

Suddenly, over a hundred 4-Star Hunting Pets flew up from among the fifteen Siege Transports of the Mountain Eagle Legion.

At the same time, without exception, these Hunting Pets all turned into faint flashes of light, attached themselves to the soaring Ballista Bolts, and shot towards Kahndorf's Battlement like lightning!

Three times the speed of sound, plus at least a dozen micro-adjustments from the Hunting Pets, and a total distance of only 2500 meters—this wave was truly powerful!

In an instant, they blasted and destroyed seventy to eighty Enchanted Giant Ballistae and Enchanted Catapults within the Fortress.

The lethality was off the charts!However, as the saying goes, The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind; both the enemy and allied sides understood this battle rhythm all too well.

Just as this fierce and sharp strike from the Mountain Eagle Legion ended, the moment those hundred-plus 4-Star Hunting Pets took flight, two Rank 3 Casters, hiding who knows where, jointly instantly cast over a dozen spells, directly instantly killing those hundred-plus 4-Star Hunting Pets!

Haha!

Just trading pieces, everyone remained very Calm and Collected.

But exactly at this moment, Li Wei shot a Ballista Bolt from the Flaming Chariot. In reality, it was fired just one second later than the previous volley of bolts. It looked unremarkable, and even seemed to have missed.

But none of this mattered. What mattered was that through this method, Li Wei had sent Adai over.

Under normal circumstances, it would be too difficult for Adai to fly over there. The City Walls were densely packed with Archers. Who says Infantry and Cavalry can't act as Archers? They can, and they shoot fast and accurately. Plus, there were Spellcasters controlling the field. Flying over would be suicidal.

But catching this exact crucial juncture, Catching Unawares at the very moment those two 3rd-tier Mages acted, delivering Adai over yielded a completely different effect.

Adai wasn't an ordinary 5-Star Hunting Pet; it was a Hunting Pet that had mastered Tier 3 Frost Magic.

So it didn't need to suddenly enlarge its body to a wingspan of over ten meters. Right now, with a body the size of a sparrow, it was extremely agile. Just as it revealed itself on this side, dozens of sharp Sequence Three Ice Spikes on the other side had already shot overwhelmingly towards the nearest Rank 3 Caster.

Too close.

A distance of a dozen meters.

And too sudden. That Rank 3 Caster was quite formidable, even managing to instantly cast a Mana Shield, but it was Beyond Saving. In less than 0.1 seconds, the Mana Shield was instantly blasted apart, and he was directly blasted to death.

And immediately following that, even more Ice Spikes, like a torrent, like a Dragon's breath, shot towards the twenty-plus Enchanted Catapults and Enchanted Giant Ballistae in this area.

This was much more cost-effective than hitting people. To be honest, besides squishy targets like Spellcasters, any other Soldier wearing Four-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor could withstand twenty or thirty Ice Spikes.

But hitting Catapults and Giant Ballistae was a different story!

Especially those Auxiliaries operating the Catapults and Giant Ballistae, each spike truly poked a hole right through them!

In an instant, twenty-four Catapults and Giant Ballistae were destroyed, and over a hundred Auxiliaries were killed or injured alongside them.

Then, there was no 'then'.

Li Wei directly recalled Adai, used Blink to return to the city, and said bye-bye!

The entire process took less than three seconds, and the battle was over.

By the time both the enemy and allied sides regained their senses, the scene was already Utterly Empty.

Fortunately, the Dropped Gold Card and Purple Card of that dead Rank 3 Caster were still there. As long as he rested and reorganized for half a year, he could still Stage a Comeback.

Only then did Li Wei Without a Trace slip out from the Flaming Chariot, abandoning that Enchanted Giant Ballista, and then plunged into the second War Chariot that was slowly taking a detour.

What happened?

I don't know!

That little sparrow has nothing to do with my family's Adai.

We are working hard to lay Siege!

Speaking of which, during this short time, Thomas, the Stone Giant, had finally been shot back to his original form. He fled back all the way in a sorry state. If it hadn't been for the heavy losses suffered by the Giant Ballistae on Kahndorf Fortress in that recent wave, he would have already been skewered into several sticks of candied haws.

Being able to transform into a Stone Giant didn't mean one could be infinitely reckless.

Looking at Thomas lying on the Siege Transport, panting heavily, and looking at the Siege Transport that still needed human power to push, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Sigh, we really are Stragglers and Remnants.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Great Fireballs were showing off their power again. This time, they finally successfully blasted two Siege Transports. The Heavy Armored Infantry inside scurried out in a panic, one by one, like ants on fire. There were also those who couldn't escape in time and were swallowed by the flames.

But this was only one corner of The Battlefield.

The remaining Siege Transports of the Mountain Eagle Legion were all accelerating. Even though the Gargoyles in front were gone, they had still waded through nearly three kilometers of the Trap Zone.

At the same time, the attack frequency and density of the Giant Ballistae and Catapults in Kahndorf Fortress were significantly decreasing, occasionally having one blasted apart.

Speaking of which, this technology of being able to steadily and accurately fire Giant Ballistae while traveling at forty kilometers per hour was very awesome.

In just a short moment, aside from the Great Fireballs still being invincible, the Enchanted Giant Ballistae and Enchanted Catapults of the Fortress side were blasted apart one after another. Even Li Wei's side managed to Catch Unawares and blast two Enchanted Catapults. The situation seemed excellent!

The Siege Transports of the Mountain Eagle Legion had already charged to within one kilometer of the City Walls.

The two Siege Transports on Li Wei's side had also closed in to three kilometers. Fine, it was still too garbage.

Seeing that they could launch a frontal charge and be First Over the Wall at any moment, from within the Fortress, a star flew up into the sky. In the next second, a Fire Meteor the size of a small car smashed down at several times the speed of sound, obliterating one of the Mountain Eagle Legion's Siege Transports into flying ash with a single strike.

The eighty Heavy Armored Infantry inside didn't even see the Battlement before they were gone!

This was the Sequence Four Ultimate Move, Fire Meteor. The attack distance couldn't be too far; too far meant lack of accuracy and easy evasion. But within one kilometer, it hit exactly where it pointed. It was the specialty of a Fourth-Tier Mage in city defense battles, and even more so, a nightmare for all Siege soldiers!

But there was nothing to be done. Things had come to this point, they had charged to within one kilometer, what was there to hesitate about?

The remaining twelve Siege Transports instead continued to charge forward, forcefully enduring the Catapults, the three Great Fireballs from the Magic Power Mine, and the Fire Meteors that fell once every thirty seconds. Truly fierce and courageous!

Well, it had nothing to do with the Soldiers; the driver's seat of the Siege Transport wasn't their responsibility either.

Anyway, for this last kilometer, even Li Wei was very desperate, because once the Mountain Eagle Legion's Siege Transports charged beneath the City Walls, the remaining ranged firepower would fall onto their only two remaining Siege Transports.

"Thomas! You know what to do next, right?"

Li Wei suddenly spoke.

"I have no problem! I didn't even use my full strength just now."

Thomas chuckled. Last night, he and Zhao Xuanxuan had already forged Combat Cards suitable for themselves.

He had a Rank 3 Earth Warrior Card, while Zhao Xuanxuan, for some unknown reason, chose an Iron-Blooded Warrior Card at the last moment.

Both were a bit special, but perhaps this was the most suitable for them, as they were both quite eccentric.

But in this battle, the two of them were Li Wei's trump cards!

That was why Zhao Xuanxuan hadn't followed behind Li Yue, but had instead remained hidden inside the Siege Transport, waiting for this opportunity.

"Ice Legion, disembark and follow behind me."

At this moment, Thomas roared, jumped off the Siege Transport, transformed into a Stone Giant, hoisted a Custom Colossal Tower Shield made especially for him, and charged out.

Zhao Xuanxuan closely followed behind.

Then, the over a hundred Heavy Armored Infantry in the two Siege Transports also immediately all disembarked. Thomas cleared the path ahead, triggering Traps, while the Heavy Armored Infantry behind trotted along holding giant shields. This was much faster than the Siege Transports.

As for Li Wei, he stayed behind with the Logistics Corps, operating the Enchanted Giant Ballista mounted on the Siege Transport to suppress the enemy forces on the Battlement from afar.

Fortunately, the Giant Ballistae and Catapults in this direction had basically been blasted apart. What remained were all densely packed Archers on the City Walls, probably numbering around a thousand.

Such dense volley fire was deadly enough.

Fortunately, the true pressure was on the Mountain Eagle Legion.

In the short one-kilometer charging distance, of the originally remaining twelve Siege Transports, six were directly blasted apart.

Three evaporated directly on the spot. The soldiers from the remaining three desperately chased after the other Siege Transports, or hid behind them to suppress the Archers on the City Walls.

But in reality, at this time, the Heavy Infantry of the Mountain Eagle Legion only had seven or eight hundred men left.

And before them were the over eighty-meter-tall City Walls, as well as two thousand enemy troops wielding bows and heavy crossbows.

As for the Mountain Eagle Legion's five hundred Heavy Cavalry, they had remained stationary in the rear the entire time. Li Yue similarly led those forty-two Heavy Cavalry and didn't move.

Because the time hadn't come yet.

Mountain Eagle Parker was also a Fourth-Tier Mage.

At this moment, he even had a Fourth-Tier Ranger and two Fourth-Tier Warriors protecting him at all times.

"Damn, this Old Geezer is quite Calm and Collected."

Li Wei cursed inwardly. Mountain Eagle Parker could wait for the best opportunity to enter the field, but he couldn't afford to wait. He watched as Thomas had already led the soldiers of the Ice Legion to charge to within over three hundred meters of the City Walls. Arrows rained down from the Battlement. In a short time, over a dozen Heavy Armored Infantry were shot into hedgehogs and fell dead to the ground.

He directly pulled the trigger, firing a Ballista Bolt. Simultaneously, Adai attached to it. In an instant, Adai flashed above the Battlement, and an unprecedented torrent of Ice Spikes poured down. It only lasted for two seconds, but it shot and killed or injured three to four hundred garrison troops. However, Adai was also consecutively hit by twelve arrows in this short time.

If Li Wei hadn't grasped the timing extremely well, Adai would have been shot to death.

A 5-Star Hunting Pet could die too.

Immediately following, Li Wei waved his hand, and in the rear, Li Yue led the 42 Heavy Cavalry into the field, galloping and accelerating along the cleared path.

In an instant, their speed reached a hundred and thirty kilometers per hour, and they were still accelerating!

In the world of Ordinary People, Cavalry were just supporting characters in Siege battles, but in a Medium Magic World, the power of a Legion Skill was barely any weaker than a Sequence Four Fire Meteor.

"Hehe! That kid can't hold on anymore."

"Childish. On The Battlefield, if your grasp of timing isn't mature enough, you'll be out of luck."

"Alowell, I want to see you be First-to-Scale and capture the city!"

In another direction, Mountain Eagle Parker sneered. The five hundred Heavy Cavalry slowly moved, lagging a moment behind Li Yue's Cavalry formation. Hmm, speaking of which, this group of Wandering Bandits and Routed Soldiers were quite useful.

However, right at this time, still over two hundred meters away from the City Walls and still enduring the baptism of arrows, the Ice Legion suddenly... Following a roar from Thomas, a faint white light emanated from all the Heavy Armored Infantry and gathered onto Thomas.

This wasn't a Legion Skill, just a prototype, but it was enough to buff Thomas.

A Rank 3 Earth Warrior, 18 Points of Damage Reduction, 124 Points of Stonemason Destiny, 125 Points of Miner Destiny—at this moment, they all resonated comprehensively!

Thomas suddenly transformed into a Rock Giant nearly seventeen meters tall. With a few accelerating strides, he charged beneath the City Walls and delivered an incomparably fierce heavy blow against the mountain body in front of him!

Yes!

This was the weakness of Kahndorf Fortress, and simultaneously its strongest point.

They mistakenly believed that building the City Walls and Fortress on top of the solid rock mountain body would make everything foolproof!

In theory, this was indeed the case, but there's always a 'just in case'.

"Roar!"

The Rock Giant transformed by Thomas unleashed a frantic barrage of blows against that mountain body. As a result, the entire mountain body remained completely unmoved, except for the magic light constantly flashing on the City Walls above.

This looked like futile effort!

The enemy forces atop the City Walls were still firing wildly. The soldiers of the Ice Legion fell one after another, like a tragic massacre! Because they were living targets!

But they still struggled to maintain their shield wall, desperately charging forward until they reached Beneath the City Walls. By this time, the casualties of the Ice Legion had already exceeded half.

However, it was enough!

Because the goal had been achieved!

"Haaah!"

Zhao Xuanxuan gave a loud shout, her entire person enveloped by a mass of bloody vortex. At this moment, her heart beat like a drum, and the Qi and blood in her entire body ignited fiercely!

Blood Burn +17!

This was Zhao Xuanxuan in her strongest state. The moment she swung the 5-Star Enchanted Sledgehammer, an Illusion dozens of meters tall actually appeared behind her!

That was the Swordforger Phantom, the reverberation brought about by countless hammer strikes. This echo was like a roaring tsunami, this hammer shadow shook the earth and mountains!

One hammer strike!

Or perhaps hundreds, thousands of hammer strikes!

What was hammered down was not brute force, but a response to this world. All things in the world should respond to these flames, this pounding, and then resonate, reverberate!

"Boom!"

In just a dozen seconds, this indestructible mountain body composed of solid Rock directly collapsed due to resonance. No matter how many stars the City Walls above had, no matter how much magic was inscribed, if the foundation collapsed and shattered, then they had to collapse along with it!

In one breath, it frantically collapsed a full two hundred-plus meters. The originally insurmountable City Walls directly turned into a steep slope!

And at this time, the forty-two Heavy Cavalry of the Blazing Legion led by Li Yue were charging forward with gathered momentum. The terrifying Legion Skill was like the setting sun, like fresh blood, like a giant cloak, no, like a massive banner fluttering in the wind mid-air, Unstoppable!

The Blazing Legion, for which Li Wei had paid such a heavy price and invested an unknown amount of Resources, was finally Reborn and Transformed through fire at this moment!

They wanted to be First Over the Wall, to capture the city, and Rise to Fame in a single battle!
