Chapter 18: The Second Night Siege

They went on the offensive. โ€™

Caleb saw the wolves and skeletons go into action, and knew they were about to attack Greywood.

Caleb stood up and climbed the southern wall, where he found Mawson.

"The Corpse Soul Cult is on the offtake, so get them ready."

After Caleb finished speaking to Mawson, he sat down directly on the city wall, took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it.

With a serious expression, Mawson stood up and commanded the soldiers beside him:

"You, and you, go and inform the other three city walls that the opposite side is attacking, hurry up and get ready."

"Yes!"

Mawson walked to the edge of the city wall and said to the soldiers and adventurers below:

"Listen, the scum of the Demon Beast and the Corpse Soul Sect has begun to attack, cheer me up, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, as long as we hold on to this night, it will be victory!"

"Oh! โ€”โ€”โ€

Everyone raised their weapons and shouted, everyone knew that the defense of the city was difficult, and they wanted to dispel the fear in their hearts by shouting.

Everyone on the city wall stared nervously at the dark night scene, and many of them nervously clenched their bows and arrows and staffs.

Caleb noticed a mage girl beside him checking her equipment repeatedly, looking at the dispensed potions, then tightening her robes and inner armor.

"Nervous?"

Caleb asks her, Caleb knows her, she is Gray's team member Sheryl, Caleb almost scared her out of the bug at the beginning, she is also the only two women in the Windwind Adventure Group, and the other team member Cherie is now in the archer unit.

Caleb's sudden voice startled Sheryl, and she turned her head in an instant, and was relieved to see that it was Caleb, and she reluctantly smiled at Caleb, and said in a trembling voice:

"Yes.... It's Mr. Caleb, it really scared me, I'm really nervous now, I feel like my heart is going to pop out, I'm so scared..."

Caleb smiled comfortingly and patted her head, she was no taller than Caleb's chest, and it was really hard for her to go through such a difficult battle at the age of 15.

"No problem, we can defend it, wait for the monsters and skeletons to come, you can concentrate on releasing the magic attack, and when the magic power is used up, you will return to recover the magic power, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Shiryl felt the warmth of Caleb's palm, and felt much better, and she smiled at Caleb, her voice no longer trembling.

"Thank you, Mr. Caleb, I feel better."

The time was approaching, and Vane, who was standing on the watchtower, did not dare to sleep today, his eyes widened, and he stared at the night woods, with a bow and many arrows beside him, he was chosen as a watchman because of his excellent eyesight, and now he also took his weapon again.

A little red light came out of the woods, it was the demon wolf that had completely gone berserk, its eyes bloodshot and both eyes turned red, they grinned and headed towards Greywood City with a hideous face.

Vane was the first to notice the wolf, he picked up the bell rope hanging from the watchtower, rang the alarm bell on the watchtower, and shouted down with all his might.

"Demon wolf! The Demon Wolf has appeared! โ€

"Dangdangdangโ€”"

The bell rang over the town, but the defenders felt inexplicably relieved, it was finally here, the unknown wait was the most uncomfortable, and now the war was finally about to begin.

Mawson drew his sword and shouted:

"The demon wolf is here, cheer up Lao Tzu and beat me hard."

"Whew-"

Just as Vane sounded the alarm, a loud wolf howl was heard in the woods.

When the demon wolf heard the wolf howl, he immediately turned away and ran towards Grey Wood City.

"Here we are...."

Caleb had already seen the pack of demon wolves, and they were charging in a triangular formation, like a sharp knife.

"The first team of magicians and archers is out!"

50 magicians and archers stepped forward, the magicians began to condense their magic, and the archers began to bend their bows and aim.

"Attack!"

As the demon wolf got closer and closer, Mawson's sword pointed at the wolves, and he drank loudly.

Magic and arrows flew out, and soon they met the demon wolf, and in an instant, more than a dozen demon wolves were knocked down, and then trampled to death by the follow-up demon wolves.

The flames splashed by the fireball technique ignited the earth, and during the day, Mo Sen arranged for people to pour fire oil outside the city, for this effect, the flames soon spread throughout the battlefield, but now the demon wolves have lost their minds.

They were not afraid of these flames at all, they stepped on the flames, let the flames burn the wolf hair on their bodies, and just like that, they hit the city wall headlong, and more and more demon wolves hit the city wall, and even made the city wall start to shake.

"Keep attacking! Don't stop! Aim for the wolves who unleash their magic! โ€

Mo Sen's face was a little bad when he saw that the flames had no effect, but he didn't care, it was originally an idle move, and the temperature of the fire oil was not higher than the temperature of the flames produced by magic.

The demon wolf slammed into the city wall and gradually began to disperse in both directions.

Caleb stood on the city wall and commanded 5 acid eaters to shuttle among the wolves, this is the limit of his manipulation, any more can only let them attack freely, the acid eaters that open the wave jet flight, the speed is extremely fast, coupled with the full level of armor-piercing power, so that they can easily penetrate the demon wolf's defense.

The sharp wings of light easily cut through the soft abdomen of the demon wolf, cutting off the limbs of the demon wolf, and with the blessing of 10 times the speed of the first attack of the sneak attack skill when Caleb controlled it, these demon wolves were cleared by Caleb for a while.

Dingโ€”โ€”

"Kill a 'Demon Wolf' and gain experience +1"

"Kill a ..... of the 'Demon Wolf'"

"Kill a ..... of the 'Demon Wolf'"

"Kill a ..... of the 'Demon Wolf'"

After a swipe of the system, Caleb credited 100 points of experience.

His strength has surpassed that of the Demon Wolves, and now he can only gain 1 experience point per one.

The acid eaters dragging the blue ribbon of light were soon spotted by the demon wolves, and they realized that if they allowed the little bugs to continue attacking, they would suffer great damage, and began to spit wind blades at the bugs.

Thousands of demon wolves spat out the wind blade together, and the dense wind blade almost turned into a wall of wind, and the range was even greater, even if Caleb controlled the acid phagome to make an emergency turn, he was not spared, and they were torn to pieces by the wind blade, turning into points of light and disappearing.

And the wind wall did not stop, pushed towards the city wall, there was a commotion on the city wall, if the wind wall hit the city wall, it would be over, the city wall would definitely fall, Mo Sen couldn't think of a good way for a while, is it going to end so soon?

"Let me come!"

Caleb walked out, knowing that he couldn't let this wall of wind touch the wall, or it would all be in vain.

Caleb looked at the wall of wind that was getting closer and closer to the wall, and summoned hundreds of glowworms, ready to make them rush into the wall and blow themselves up.

The glowworms hovering around Caleb began to spread out in both directions, gradually leveling up with the range of the Wind Wall.

"Go for it, Hotaru is hot!"

The glowworm rushed into the wind wall without hesitation, and a trace of crimson light appeared, instantly blooming with brilliant flames and impacts.

boomโ€”โ€”

The shock wave of the explosion washed away the stable structure of the wind blade, creating a chain reaction, some of the wind blades were redirected, colliding with other wind blades, and exploded together into a high-speed air flow, which in turn affected the other wind blades, and in a short period of time, the wind wall was no longer an offensive, turning into a strong wind blowing on the faces of everyone on the city wall.

"Oh-"

Although the crowd was blown to a staggering role, they still cheered, the walls did not fall, and Caleb's attack succeeded in breaking through the wall of wind spat out by the demon wolf.

Caleb held down the cloak that was blown and hunted, and looked at the demon wolves with a solemn expression, a single wind blade almost destroyed the city wall, and they had to be scattered.

"Mawson, break up the wolves and drive some of them to the other city walls, otherwise the south city gate will not be able to withstand it."

"Yes, Lord Caleb."

Caleb summons a large number of glowworms.

"Red Firefly"

Turning the glowworm into a pillar of fire, Caleb began to drive some of the demon wolves to the east city wall, and now there are no demon beasts attacking there, although the demon wolves spread to both sides, but the speed is too slow, and they can only be driven away manually.

Mawson ordered someone to bring hot oil, which had been boiling for a long time.

"Pour the oil! Drive them to the Western Wall! โ€

In the woods, Edson and Marcy stand in the trees to observe the situation.

Marcy said with a look of pity:

"Oh, it's a pity, if only that wind wall could directly tear down the city wall, now that the demon wolves are scattered by them, it won't be so easy to break."

Edson maintained the appearance of beasthood, the negative effects of beasthood made him a little irritable, and his consciousness began to blur, he lowered his voice and said:

"Yes, Mr. Marcy, you might as well let your skeletons attack, with your army joining, you will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop."

"Hahaha... Okay, then I'll let the skeletons attack and break the walls. โ€

The undead hidden in the darkness moved, raised their weapons and began to charge towards the walls.

On the city wall, Caleb drove away the demon wolf pack in time, and now the pressure on the city wall is not so great, and the attack of the magician and the archer successfully resisted the attack of the demon wolf.

"The second team is out! The first team retreated, the magician drank the magic potion, and the archer drank the healing potion! โ€

"Mr. Caleb, I'm on."

Sheryl makes a cheering gesture to Caleb, and she is assigned to the second team.

"Go ahead."

Caleb nodded to her.

Caleb observed the battlefield while controlling the dozen or so rescued acid phagons in his mind, and now they finally reached the cave, since he found that the level 5 acid phagome was ineffective against the fence, Caleb controlled the acid phagogue to fly out of the cave, and now he didn't know that the cave had collapsed.

Sure enough, as soon as he reached the vicinity of the hill, Caleb was shocked by the vision transmitted by the insects, and the entire hill had collapsed, leaving only a large hole in the field that was sunken downward.

"How can this be, it's those ghosts of the Corpse Soul Sect! The abominable Corpse Soul Sect, is human life so worthless in their eyes? โ€

Caleb's hands were clenched, his eyes flashing with rage, the cave had collapsed, and the people inside would have suffocated if not crushed to death.

It's impossible to rescue now, he can't leave these people in the city alone.

There are two high-level combat power in the Corpse Soul Sect, and this side seems to be the highest combat power, although Mo Sen is more powerful than the demon wolf, but he shouldn't be able to defeat that werewolf.

Now that he has been dragged by the Corpse Soul Sect, he can only control these acid devourers to burrow into the soil to see if he can find some surviving life.

On the watchtower, Vane is holding a longbow and is shooting those crazy demon wolves, his aim is extremely high, the arrows do not leave the eyes of the demon wolves, while attacking him, he did not forget to observe the movement in the distance, he was notified before, he knew that there would be a sea of skulls coming, and now the sea of skulls has not yet appeared.

Suddenly, he noticed a swaying figure in the distance, and more and more, and Vane knew that it was the Sea of Skulls.

He sounded the alarm once more, shouting to the following:

"It's a skeleton! The skeletons are coming! โ€

Mawson and Caleb perked up after hearing this, and the general assault began.

Mawson began to shout:

"All magicians drink the magic potion, the strongest attack is coming, resist me!"

"Lord Caleb, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll take the warriors to rush in waves."

"Don't be surrounded anymore, be careful."

Watching Mawson jump off the wall and lead the warriors to rush out of the city gates, Caleb took command and shouted from the wall:

"The attack of the Corpse Soul Sect is coming, but don't worry, we have the magic weapon to win, and now our biggest difficulty is still these demon wolves, and after a while, Mo Sen will lead the warriors to rush out of the city gate to delay time for us.

The members of the first team, we have to cooperate with them, and everyone aims at the target of the fighters.

The second team will now start drinking mana potions and healing potions, and when the first team runs out of mana, you will have to go to the top.

The third team, you are all magicians, and your task is to repair the walls, and when the warriors have dragged the wolves for us, we will start repairing them, and we must repair the walls before the skeletons arrive. โ€

"Yes!"

Caleb, who received the answer, nodded and continued:

"Now the second team is starting to clear the demon wolves at the city gates, and we have to open a way for the warriors."

Caleb took a look at the situation in the city, all the inhabitants were mobilized, the wounded had special people carrying down the walls, a group of women were bandaging the soldiers, and children and women were helping to carry some supplies.

Mawson was ready to lead the warriors out, and he gestured to this side, Caleb nodded.

"Open the gates!"

"Soldiers, rush me!"

Mawson took the lead, holding his sword and rushing out first, and the others followed suit.

Caleb took one look, stood on the wall, and shouted:

"The second team retreats, the first team goes up, the second team drinks the second bottle of magic potions, and the third team prepares to repair the magic!"

Mawson rushed out of the city gate, this time he did not directly attack the wolves, but used the method taught by Caleb, and led the team to fight against the city wall, so that they would only be attacked by one side, and the equipment he carried this time was also different, the strong ones picked up thick tower shields, and the weapons were mostly spears.

I saw that the tower shield stood directly on the ground, dozens of strong men turned into a city wall with a shield, and the people behind him began to poke through the gaps in the shield with spears one by one, the effect was very good, the demon wolf could not break the tower shield, and as soon as it approached, it would be pierced by the spear, and the demon wolves attacking the city wall were attracted.

Caleb took a look at their battle, and it worked well.

"That's right, it's not in vain that I specially got these shields and spears before, at least the attacks of these demon wolves won't be able to break these shields for a while."
