Chapter 118: Clouds
The dawn is coming.
But on the walls of Cloud City, many warriors were extraordinarily energetic, staring at the faint lights in the distance...... That's where the Xingzhu Empire garrisoned.
Late at night and before dawn is the best time for enemy sneak attacks, late night has night cover, and before dawn is the easiest time for the soldiers on duty at night to relax.
But tonight seemed to be a very quiet night, and the enemy was already attacking the city day and night.
General Kant did not dare to relax in the slightest, and as a general, he even came to the city wall himself to watch into the distance.
This short period of tranquility is too weird, he is a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he naturally understands that this is just the calm before the storm, the Xingzhu Empire launched a full-scale war this time at any cost, singing all the way, winning consecutive battles, and now it has reached the outside of Cloud Mist City, and there is only this last step away from the destruction of the Cloud Mist Empire, so they naturally can't give up easily.
In the days of battle on the front line, although the soldiers survived with the determination of the soldiers to protect their homeland at all costs, the heavy pressure of the Star Bamboo Empire outside Cloud City still made the soldiers defending the city see no hope.
How long can they keep it? A month, a year?
This is the last line of defense of the Cloud Empire, and no matter how long it holds, there will be no reinforcements......
Unless...... You can find an opportunity to counterattack the Xingzhu Empire army outside!
But the stalemate situation in front of him is also based on the accumulation of Cloud Mist City for many years, without the assistance of this war fortress, the only hundreds of thousands of troops of the Cloud Mist Empire and the Xingzhu Empire's army have almost no chance of victory.
The sun is rising, and the golden sunlight pierces the darkness.
As the sun shines all over the earth, a light black shadow appears on the horizon in the distance!
"Enemy attack!" Almost simultaneously with General Kant's shouts, the alarm bell rang throughout the city!
The magical alerts placed by the Cloud Empire in the frontline skies worked.
Hordes of magicians rushed to the top of the tower, and a bright magical enchantment with a multicolored halo appeared over the city.
General Kant took a deep breath, his somewhat cloudy eyes becoming bright again. Faster than the army of the Star Bamboo Empire, hundreds of bright white beams of light descended at an astonishing speed, slamming into the magical barrier outside the city!
A large number of ripples spread out on the multicolored magic barrier, but it only caused ripples, and after a while, the white beam of light gradually dissipated, but the luster of the magic enchantment shield covering the entire city seemed to dim a little.
General Kant frowned slightly, these things are the new magic guide weapons of the Xingzhu Empire, the performance is far beyond the ordinary magic guide cannon, and according to the news sent back by the spies in the Xingzhu Empire army, the volume of the new magic guide weapon [magic energy array cannon] is much smaller than the magic guide cannon.
The reason why the magic cannon is only suitable for defending the city is because of the huge size of the magic cannon, which can't keep up with the fast movement of the battle. However, the Magic Energy Array Cannon is very small and lightweight, so it can be easily carried by one person.
Moreover, the attack strength of this magic energy array cannon is not inferior to that of the magic guide cannon.
However, in the previous war, the Star Bamboo Empire had already used magic array cannons, and it turned out that those high-performance cannons could not blast through the defensive barrier of Cloud City.
The reason why General Kant frowned was because he felt the gap between the Cloud Mist Empire and the Star Bamboo Empire in terms of magic guidance technology from this magic energy array cannon.
The Cloud Empire's magician technicians couldn't make such a high-performance cannon.
The enemy's battle formation had already appeared in the field of vision, and the black armor of the Xingzhu soldiers all seemed to be particularly impactful at this time, and they charged with overwhelming momentum!
"Magic Strike!"
Magical glow of various colors lit up over the city, and the combined magic of a large number of magicians who are skilled in the same kind of magic has always been the strongest weapon in war!
Huge fireballs with a diameter of dozens of feet, violent tornadoes, arrows of ice in the sky, and huge rolling stones falling from the sky......
On the side of the Star Bamboo Empire, the magic shield was also lit up, and in the infantry array, there were many mammoths pulling the chariot, and the chariot was placed with silver-white metal instruments, which emitted a light blue halo, and the light blue halos emitted by dozens of instruments fused with each other, connecting into a magic shield that sheltered the entire army!
Moreover, this magic shield accompanies the entire army as it advances!
The powerful combined magic was all blocked by the magic shield, although the halo of the shield quickly weakened under the powerful magic attack, but with this powerful protection, the army of the Star Bamboo Empire quickly approached Cloud City!
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
In the past siege battles, the enemy's army approaching the city walls would be greatly devastated by the powerful magic attacks of the magicians on the walls, because it was difficult for the lower-level magicians to concentrate on releasing magic during the charge, resulting in the besieging side not being able to release magic shields for defense.
But now the appearance of this magic guide device has minimized the loss of the Star Bamboo Empire's charge this time!
The powerful combined magic finally tore off the shield, and the fierce flames and biting ice all fell on the army, but the vast army, the magic could cover only a small part.
Dazzling beams of various colors lit up on the city wall, and thousands of magic cannons suddenly fired when the shield of the Star Bamboo Imperial Army was just broken, and the beams disrupted the horn of the Star Bamboo Imperial Army's charge, but each time the magic guide cannon was fired, there would be a relatively long charging time......
It didn't take long for the Star Bamboo Imperial Army to adjust its state, and the soldiers didn't have time to mourn their comrades who died under the fire of the magic cannon, and at this time their target was only the city in front of them!
The glory of the empire will conquer all!
The gates of Cloud City were opened, and a large number of warriors also poured out, their eyes burning with flames, they were the last warriors of the city, and they swore to defend the country to the death!
This is war, there is no right or wrong, and the soldiers standing on this battlefield have the reason and determination to fight for it!
The Cloud Empire army also began to charge, and the two armies began to engage in close combat.
Blood stains the battlefield red, and life is the cheapest thing at this time, for your own beliefs, for your own duty, or in other words, simply to live on this battlefield......!
A soldier of the Cloud Mist Empire pierced the chest of an enemy with Changge in his hand, but Changge was also stuck between the enemy's ribs, and then he was beheaded by the Xingzhu soldiers on the side......
A knight was covered in blood, his left arm drooping, and his left arm was supposed to be completely shattered, and his shoulder was pierced by a long knife...... But he was still holding Changge in his right hand, and suddenly rushed into the enemy group, his eyes were wide with anger, and he was invincible!
He was a powerful professional, but eventually died of exhaustion......
