Chapter 238: The Battle of Defending the City (Part II)

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped onto the city wall, and the dagger in his hand drew a blue arc of light, which stabbed into Leon's chest with great speed!

Assassin!

Athletic skill, unmatched speed, and ferocious and accurate attacks all reveal the identity of the sneak attacker.

In the thousands of years of war history in the Glorious Continent, the Terrans like and are used to using assassins to assassinate opponents' generals and key figures in wars.

The Assassin was decisive and well-timed, seeing Leon as an important figure in the garrison, and striking straight to the point.

The blue glow is characteristic of the condensation of vindictive energy, and the ability of a skilled assassin to use his fighting spirit and sharp weapons to break through the opponent's armor and defenses is clearly very confident.

But he underestimated Leon's strength and reflexes.

His movements were so fast that the guards around him didn't have time to intercept him, but in Leon's eyes, he wasn't fast enough!

The current Leon, both in terms of soul power and physical strength, has returned to his original peak state, and the soaring spiritual power has given him a keen perception far beyond his previous one.

As Leon was engrossed, all of the Assassin's movements were clearly visible to him from the moment he jumped onto the wall, like a slowed down.

In the face of the assassin's surprise attack, he took a small step forward with his left foot, and his right arm took advantage of the momentum to raise and swing forward, and his strong soul power directly entered the Lei Yan battle knife, slashing at the opponent with a single sword!

This sword Leon did not stimulate the power of the elements, abandoned all the technical movements, and just burst out all his power in an instant.

The Lei Yan battle knife revealed a half-foot-long aura, and the snowy blade slashed through the air, like an overflowing arc light, and the speed was incredible.

When the assassin's dagger stabbed only a foot in front of Leon, Lei Yan's sword came first, slashing at his shoulder and neck!

Click!

The Assassin flew straight upside down, his protective aura helping him avoid being cut in two on the spot, but unable to fully withstand the force of the explosion.

As a price, the bones of the parts that were slashed by the sword were shattered, and he was already seriously injured.

One inch long and one inch strong! In the process of this confrontation between lightning and stone fire, Leon gave full play to the power of the war knife, striking out with one knife and breaking the enemy with one sword!

When the assassin fell to the ground, the thunder beast warriors around him raised their battle axes and slashed at them, directly splitting them to the ground.

The enemy's sneak attack and the death of their companions made these bear men already furious.

"Cut the hook!" exclaimed Leon.

With a flick of his left hand, he opened the Spatial Ring and pulled out a scroll as quickly as he could.

Boom!

A bright ball of light bloomed above the city wall, and the light it emitted instantly illuminated the surrounding space within a radius of hundreds of steps, leaving the sneak attackers outside the city with nothing to hide.

The enemy was numerous, at least a thousand of them, and in order to keep their movements hidden, they wore black armor and did not carry heavy siege equipment.

These enemies are all strong and strong, and most of them are barbarian warriors.

Their attack was mainly on the eastern part of the White Rock Castle, and the barbarian warriors in front tried to climb the wall with rope hooks.

However, this was not easy, because Lyon had people pour ice and water on the outside of the walls to increase their defenses, and there was a lot of ice condensed on the walls, so the hooks could easily slip off.

The Thunderbeast warriors who reacted cut the fixed hooks as fast as they could, causing the enemies who were climbing up to fall down one after another.

Seeing that the sneak attack was ineffective, the archers among the barbarians strengthened their attacks, and for a while arrows flew on the city wall, so that the thunder beast warriors could hardly raise their heads, and could only shrink behind the wall to protect themselves with shields.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of wooden ladders were erected on the city walls.

However, at this time, the main force of the Thunder Beast Brigade rushed to the eastern section of the city wall, and the defensive strength increased sharply.

It's not for nothing that the Thunderbeast warriors were able to jump into battle so quickly.

First of all, White Rock City is very small, and it doesn't take much time to rush from the east of the city to the west of the city, and secondly, the thunder beast warriors are well-trained, and as soon as the warning horn sounds, they can wake up in their sleep immediately, put on armor and pick up weapons and rush out of the barracks as quickly as possible.

Strict training and strict discipline made it possible for no one to panic even in the event of a surprise attack, and the soldiers quickly formed according to their respective duties and rushed to the place where they needed support as soon as possible.

Under the cover of the axe shield bearer with a large shield, the thunder beast archer who rushed to the city wall used the longbow in his hand to give the enemy the most ferocious counterattack, and the archers among the enemy were the first targets.

"Ahh

In the light of the illumination, the barbarian archers, who had no cover, were killed and wounded, and they fell down as if they had been harvested stubble.

Due to their close proximity, the Thunderbeast Archer's armor-piercing arrows could easily penetrate their leather armor, and if they were shot at the vital point, they would inevitably be killed on the spot.

Although the Thunderbeast Bow Team has not been established for a long time, the members are all leopard warriors with archery talents, and Leon equips them with the best standard longbows and the sharpest metal armor-piercing arrows, and each archer consumes more arrows in training than an average army archer might use in a lifetime.

The three-hundred-man crossbow team can be said to have been piled up with money and sweat, representing the concept of war covered by the firepower of the Leon expedition, and now it is a condescending attack from a favorable position, and it is a strange thing not to defeat the barbarian opponent.

Under the powerful suppression of the thunder beast archers, the barbarian archers suffered heavy losses, and the threat to the thunder beast warriors on the city wall was greatly reduced.

They used their tomahawks to cut down the enemies who climbed on them, and with their feet and hands they knocked down the ladders that had been erected on the city walls, and steadily blocked the enemy's frantic onslaught.

Bang! Jump!

The heavy crossbows deployed on the city wall finally opened fire, and the crossbow arrows fired by dozens of heavy crossbows landed in the enemy ranks of the city wall, immediately setting off a bloody storm.

Leon's previously prepared arrangement showed its might at a critical moment, and he placed more than two hundred heavy crossbows on the walls on all sides.

This large mechanical crossbow that required a carriage to carry it was extremely powerful, and could be used for siege and defense of cities, and the crossbow arrows it used were as thick as six feet long and arm-thick, and it used a winch to pull a special multi-strand of animal tendon to wind, and the maximum range was 500 paces, which could easily pierce through heavy armor.

Forty or fifty heavy crossbow arrows could not be resisted by even a barbarian warrior with a large shield, and crossbow arrows made of fine iron could easily shatter wooden shields and pierce metal shields, and the force of the impact alone was enough to break the bones of a strong barbarian.

A barbarian warrior carrying a ladder was pierced through the chest by a crossbow arrow, his leather armor was like papier-mâché and did not serve the slightest defensive effect, and the long crossbow arrow pierced through his body, and then through the lower abdomen of the warrior behind him, and the blood-stained arrow pierced deep into the earth.

And this was just the beginning, when the Thunderbeast Archers cleared out their most threatening targets and turned the arrows back, it was the beginning of the real nightmare of those barbarian warriors.

Bang!

At this moment, a dazzling lightning suddenly flashed in the sky above White Rock City, dark clouds rolled and the wind howled, and the cold current wrapped in frost pressed down.

The temperature on the city wall dropped sharply, and Leon, who had the flame soul armor body, had no effect, but a layer of white frost quickly condensed on the armor of those ordinary warriors, and the bone-chilling cold made their faces turn blue and their movements stiffened a lot.

Leon was startled, and he felt the elemental power that was frantically converging between the surrounding heaven and earth.

There is no doubt that the enemy mage lurking in the rear has attacked, and the arrival of a strong cold snap means that the opponent is an ice mage, and this is only a precursor to a more powerful magic attack.

"There's a mage!" Leon turned around and shouted, "Where is the shaman?"

White Rock City does not have a spell tower, which means that it does not have the ability to defend against spell attacks, and once it is attacked by enemy magic, it can only rely on the shaman to dispel the defense.

Luckily, there are shamans in White Rock City, and in addition to the five shamans who originally went out with the Thunderbeast Brigade and returned, there are also three shamans who stayed in the city.

Eight shamans are not enough to attack the enemy, but defense alone should not be a problem, unless the opponent has a powerful archmage.

As if in response to Leon's shout, a loud battle song resounded in the city.

The song went straight to the sky, and the faint aura of magic was like boiling water pouring snow, quickly dispelling the elemental clouds that condensed in the air, and the surging cold eyes disappeared without a trace.

At the same time as the song sounded, the figure of a shaman appeared inside the city wall, and a wide range of aura spells were released one after another, blessing the aura for the thunder beast warriors fighting on the city wall.

Seeing such a scene, Leon breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the shaman mage could resist the opponent's magician, then White Rock City would not be in danger of being breached.

Discovering that the spell had been dispelled by the shaman, the enemy mages quickly died down.

The status of the mages of the human race is comparable to that of the nobles, and many of them are pampered, especially the high-level mages are worshiped by the kingdom or empire, and very few are willing to suffer on the Arctic Ice Sheet.

Generally, the mages who join the barbarian army are relatively low-level, and for the sake of rich remuneration and attractive spars for a few years, only in large legions can there be high-level mages.

The strength of this barbarian army that came to attack White Rock City was not strong, and a large area attack spell could consume most of his mana, and it was normal to stop immediately after failure.

Mages cherish their lives the most, and it is irresponsible for their lives to run out of mana in battle.

But although he retreated, some people were eyeing him!
