"Chapter 398: Battle for the City Wall"
The kingdom's War Saint has fled, and we don't have to worry about him for the time being. That guy's strength is really strong, and I'm afraid no one can handle him if the princess is not there.
Our army is now awaiting orders from both of us, and the barrier is now completely gone, and the defenders inside and outside the walls have all been wiped out by that single blow. Although I couldn't see clearly due to the obstruction of the city walls, I could still see the large and terrifying pit in the city, and the heat and electricity of the electromagnetic cannon twisted the steel weapons into twists, and the wood materials were instantly burned into charcoal. We don't know how many civilian casualties this will cause, but that number is definitely troubling to me.
"Attack!"
Fang Zi and I gave the order at the same time, the horn sounded, and the troops that had already been ready immediately launched a charge. Although the walls of Mantas were very tall, the defenders of the walls near us were basically lost, and we had prepared siege ladders early in the morning, all of which we had captured in the previous city armory, and the two ladders were connected together to reach the head of Mantas. Barbarians, goblins, and archers climbed the ladder, and the skeletons climbed the ladder and stacked the ladder to the top of the city, and in ten minutes the city was full of our troops.
However, when the gates were opened, news came from our troops that there was a problem. The gates were fixed with chains, intercepted by iron nets, and sealed by magic, and it took a while to open, so large units like giants and heavy weapons like cannons were kept out of the city.
The troops at the head of the city soon waved their flags, conveying several meanings that the troops inside the city were daring to come to the side of the city walls, and were using powerful weapons and magic.
Mantas is a large city, with three layers from the inside to the outside, and the elite troops are much more distributed on the inside than on the outside, so although we easily climbed the walls of Mantas, we were still too far from capturing the city.
We have beaten the capital, and the kingdom will no longer hide anything. Less than two minutes after we received the news, a dense wave of magic covered the walls of the city where our troops were, and the kingdom's sky battle masters appeared in the sky again. In addition, there is also the Fifth Legion of the Kingdom, the Flying Warcraft Unit, which has been pressed and beaten by our air force. However, in the absence of warships, air supremacy is still firmly in our hands.
I looked up and saw that Louis was in a fierce battle in the air with a master of sky combat with a battle axe in hand, sparks flying everywhere between the knight's spear and the battle axe, and unlike the collision of ordinary weapons, if these sparks fell to the ground, they would cause an explosion equivalent to a fireball released by me, which was due to the power of the weapon. Every time these strong men swept through the air, they would tear many demonic beasts and undead into pieces in the air, and within the impact range, the internal organs of weak creatures would be directly shattered.
I remembered the ones I had seen before the crossing, and I remembered the episodes where the protagonist desperately led his troops to rush to the enemy, or motivated the troops with various means of motivation, or even turned the tide of the battle on his own. But I can't learn from them, my strength is limited, if there is no one to protect me, I'm afraid I won't survive for half a day on the city wall, and the high-level combat power of the kingdom is not pretentious. I would love to rush to help my warriors, those who are flesh and blood, loyal to me, but I am the most important thing, and my life determines all that I have. So I could only stand two kilometers from the city walls, holding a telescope and watching my soldiers fight. I don't want to, but I can't help it.
More and more troops ascended to the top of the city and dispersed under fire, engaging in an exchange of fire with the troops who rushed from within the city. The kingdom's defenses at Mantas were very strong, and it was good protection when we attacked, but when we climbed the walls and condescendingly fired bows and arrows and buckshot at them, it was our turn to be overpowered. The kingdom had several watchtowers near the city walls, which were inhabited not only by archers and mages, but also by catapults and bed crossbows. These towers, which are higher than the city walls, have become the focus of contention between the two sides, as they can directly attack our troops on the walls.
Due to the large target, the cannon temporarily retreated to the rear, while the rest of the troops continued to climb the city wall and engage in fierce battles with the kingdom troops. Our skeleton troops are at a disadvantage at this point, although they are numerous, but the kingdom has begun to put burst spears and a freeze weapon that can cause a slowing effect on bed crossbows and catapults, I don't know how they managed to overcome the technical difficulties, but this area damage is very scary, and our skeleton troops are now parked on the outside of the city walls to reduce casualties. Now the walls are full of troops that can attack from a distance, as well as barbarian squads with high HP and slow speed, which can rush down the walls at any time.
The gunfire never stopped, and Fang Zi's musketeers played a very big role in this battle, and the purple-haired ladies always killed the elite warriors of the kingdom who wore strong armor and were of great strength, and the smoke from the gunpowder spread around the city walls, and a wounded goblin reported to us about the situation in the city as he retreated. More than eighty musketeers formed a powerful firepower network at the head of the city, coupled with their own good survivability and armor, the kingdom's troops suffered heavy losses, and their magical attacks were also much weaker.
The high-ranking troops climbed the city wall one after another, and blocked the troops sent by the kingdom at the stairs of the upper wall. The barbarian fighters were divided into a dozen squads and fought against the elite forces of the kingdom at the city gates, covering the barbarian warriors and Valkyries who were frantically slashing through the iron nets of the city gates.
After half an hour of watching the battle of the city walls, our Valkyrie finally broke the bolt behind the iron net, and the heavy gate was finally opened. This was a timely time, and the kingdom sent a small number of guards to attack with other soldiers, and the defense of the city walls became more and more difficult.
After the gates were opened, our large army was finally able to enter the city. At this time, the strong men of the kingdom were also defeated, and after many battles, they retreated to the ground and retreated to the palace with their wounds. The kingdom's flying monster troops are also getting smaller and smaller, and they are divided and eaten by us. Mantas's air supremacy is basically in our hands, and with the offensive on the ground, this attack will be much easier than White Oak Fortress.
