Chapter 437
by post_apiChapter 437: The Siege
The large demon was not made of lava; it was entirely made of stone, a dark red color. They were definitely the leaders of the hellish army. This massive and fierce creature stood on the battlefield, and its mere presence made some timid soldiers too afraid to move.
Beneath several large demons appeared a massive teleportation circle, and before the enemy could react, they were already transported to the gates of Dawn City.
Bang!
Several big axes hit the city wall, making it shake and tremble.
This personification is a bit strange for the city wall, but it truly shakes like a person.
The ninth-level great demon, although not as strong as a ninth-level hero, is still quite powerful for a ninth-level follower, but its destructive power is terrifying and threatens the magical array of Dawn City.
Suddenly, the Phantom Dragon flew over from a distance.
In the bottomless swamp, ancient tombs are hidden, and the Phantom Dragon is concealed beneath this muddy ground.
They are not tainted by the rising miasma, but very few witnesses return alive to tell these legends.
With a breath of the dragon, the miasma spews from their mouths, as if to drown the entire Dawn City.
If it weren’t for the magical array holding it back, who knows how many people would survive in the city with the poison of this miasma.
The eighth-tier ghost dragon, great demons, Abyssal Demons, and corpse monsters all rushed forward, unwilling to back down.
The roar of the ghost dragon made the magic circle start to take shape.
The great devil is a weaker version of the big demon. Although they were a step behind, they managed to keep up with the big demon’s pace.
Thump, thump, thump…
Axes struck the city wall, leaving many cracks in the wall protected by the magic circle.
It is clear that the big demon has already started breaking the magic.
Dawn City is the grandest city in this dungeon world, and its walls are the tallest. However, the big demon can still hit the soldiers above the wall just by raising its weapon.
The Abyssal Demons rushed forward with their long swords. Their swords are made of a highly flexible metal, making the Abyssal Demon’s attacks as quick and sharp as a poisonous snake.
They do not teleport, but their mobility is exceptional. Especially their power to cause damage is astonishing.
"Roar!"
The undead howled.
The undead infused fear into the souls of all living beings; the weaker ones would drop dead at the sound of their cries. On the battlefield, the undead also used their rusty scythes to turn more people into victims.
Bang, bang, bang…
Many of the soldiers guarding the city were found dead with blood pouring from their seven orifices; countless soldiers of the sixth tier and below had fallen.
As soon as they clashed, Gabriel suffered a great loss!
This is not his fault; it is mainly a matter of the times.
In a normal siege battle, there would be more talk, exchanging harsh words, followed by a good cursing match.
Among them, two generals were especially memorable; they fought verbally for ten years, wasting countless supplies…
If you don’t understand, you can think of it like the wars of the feudal lords during the Spring and Autumn period, where everyone still fought politely.
A person broke this rule, and that is when the war became darker.
It’s like throwing Han Xin back to the Spring and Autumn period, where people would send challenges before a battle, fighting fairly. If someone played dirty, they would sweep away the competition.
The current battle between Karoso and Gabriel is like that.
When players play the game, they have to watch the cutscenes. Even if they click 16 times the speed or skip them, it still takes a lot of time. But Karoso doesn’t have to follow this rule at all.
His troops are all his own, and there’s no one above him who can control him.
Otherwise, if Zoltan were here, he would have started with a scolding.
Leader Gabriel’s eyes were filled with anger, as this guy in front of him was playing completely out of the script.
Damn, weren’t you supposed to praise the gods first, pray to them, and then argue with me for a clash of beliefs?
This is so against the rules!
"Counterattack!" Gabriel pointed his sword straight at the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Angels with red and white wings, dressed in red armor and carrying flame blades, soared into the sky, diving down from above to charge at the great demon and the Phantom Dragons.
Behind them came archangels wearing white clothes with white wings, holding ice swords, along with angels who had gray wings.
The number of ninth-tier angels alone was double that of the ninth-tier troops carried by Karoso.
Moreover, eighth-tier Griffin Knights also rode griffins flying out of the city to attack Karoso’s army.
Not only these high-tier troops, but low-tier soldiers also began to contribute their strength, with fourth-tier crossbowmen, third-tier archers, and second-tier bowmen shooting arrows in a rain of fire.
Although their individual strength was weak, many arrows combined their power; if just one arrow hit, it would be like the strength of hundreds.
"Roar!"
The giant axe of the great demon clashed with the flame blade, and Seraph was pushed back by a mighty blow.
However, Seraph is a flying unit, moving incredibly fast, and for a moment, the sky was filled with Seraph’s shadows.
Although the great demon was incredibly strong, as it faced Seraph’s attacks, more and more wounds appeared on its body.
Not only that, but the disturbance from the arrows made its magical shield become weaker and weaker.
"Roar!" The Phantom Dragon and the Ghost Dragon refused to back down, each letting out bursts of dragon breath toward the angels.
However… the advanced troops from the graveyard, well, it’s a bit tricky to say.
In short, their arrival did not change the outcome of the battle.
The difference in numbers allowed the angels to keep them firmly under control.
At this moment, the seventh-tier Bone Dragon, Death God, and Lich Master also arrived.
Both sides began a fierce battle.
"Roar!"
A bone dragon was slain by a great angel with a single sword strike.
The great angel was still in shock when the Phantom Dragon blasted its breath upon it.
The forces on both sides began to quickly dwindle.
Bang!
A ghost dragon crashed against the city wall, instantly killing many soldiers.
The ghost dragon tried to rise, but saw a group of seemingly ordinary soldiers attacking it with their swords.
"Roar!" The ghost dragon cried out in pain.
The pastors cast a spell, and the purifying magic fell on the ghost dragon, making the dark mist around it weaker and weaker.
"Arrow tower!" Gabriel ordered again.
The three magical arrow towers in the city aimed at the huge evil demons.
The power of this thing is no less than that of the Magic Cannon from the future!
Boom, boom, boom…
Karoso’s army was struggling to move forward.
"Catapult!" Karoso commanded, and the demons brought out one of the siege treasures Karoso had found underground, the catapult.
Bang!
A stone was shot out and hit an arrow tower, causing it to explode.
But this still cannot turn the situation around.
Varian was so confused; he didn’t understand what this Saint Child was up to.
Attacking a city like this is like giving it away; this is definitely not an exaggeration. Hasn’t the Saint Child studied strategy?
