Chapter 107: The Oncoming Attack

  "United Shield"

  "Raise Shields"

  "Pay attention and get closer"

  "Shield tight"

  "Shield tight!" With the sudden command, like a thunderclap, from several officers nearby who were infusing their energy, Liu Yu hastily raised the iron shield in his hand, about 1.5 meters long and more than half a meter wide, over his head, and connected it with Ivan, Nari and several others to form a tight shield wall.

  Through the gap between the shields, Liu Yu clearly saw that in the somewhat dark sky, there were several black dots rapidly changing from sesame-sized small dots to large blocks, and their falling direction was exactly where these soldiers were.

  "Boom, boom, boom......" Just as the large black blocks were about to hit the ground, they were struck by numerous arrows flying out from multiple directions, carrying golden, red, and brown auras. The arrows contained powerful aura energy, shattering the black blocks into powder upon contact.

  "I, huff... " Just as Liu Yu was starting to understand what he had just seen, the black blocks that were shattered turned into a large number of particles. Before he knew it, several grains fell into his eyes. He quickly switched to holding the shield with one hand and used the other hand to wipe away the dust from his eyes.

  "Boulders, the other side is using catapults." Feeling those falling particles, Liu Yu understood that what was shattered in mid-air just now were boulders thrown by the catapults of the Fano Empire.

  "First row, vertical shield."

  "Left column, left vertical shield."

  "Right column, right vertical shield."

  "Everyone crouch down and take cover."

  "Everyone crouch down, hold up the shields." After the stones thrown by the first row of the enemy were shattered, the soldiers on Liu Yu's side also mostly stood up and held up their shields. The several lieutenants and captains beside them continued to issue new orders.

  "With a loud crash..." As soon as the first command was given by the officers, the front row of Bi-Mong warriors in front of Liu Yu quickly crouched down and slammed their shields, which they had held above their heads, to the ground. After a row of uniform crashing sounds, these shields stood upright in front of them.

  Then Liu Yu and the other soldiers behind them immediately crouched down. The shields that were originally held above their heads were immediately connected to the upright shields of the first row of Bi Miao soldiers.

  Liu Yu connected his shield with the front row of shields, and then covered a Bamun warrior who was crouching in front of him entirely under his own shield.

  As for his own body, it was protected by the shields held up by the Bimon warriors behind him.

  While Liu Yu and the middle row of Bimon warriors completed these movements, the two rows of Bimon warriors standing on both sides turned around to the left and right respectively, quickly squatted down and held up their shields in front of them, while their bodies leaned tightly against the back of their comrades behind them, squeezing under their shields.

  Although these movements seem complex, many Bi Mon warriors work together, each completing a part of it, making the entire operation neat and swift. In just an instant, Liu Yu and his men formed a three-sided defensive shield formation.

  Liu Yu and his men had just formed a tight shield wall when they suddenly felt the dense, explosive sounds like firecrackers bursting above their heads, coming continuously from the iron shields on top of them.

  In the square formation like a small black room, Liu Yu felt the continuous impact force coming from the iron shield and secretly exerted his strength to grip the iron shield in his hand tightly.

  "You arrived pretty quickly, just after we finished setting up our defense." Liu Yu muttered to himself in the darkness, unaware of the situation outside and could only wait quietly for his superior's orders.

  This is the fifth day that the Second Legion has come to support the fortress, and on the third day, Cain formally announced that he was the highest commander of the fortress appointed by the kingdom. Then all the garrison troops in the fortress stopped their daily patrols and participated in the repair and defense work inside the fortress.

  Until last night, Liu Yu and his men had just completed the task of handing over to their superiors. Unexpectedly, at dawn today, a sudden trumpet sound came from within the pass. Before Liu Yu could rush up to the city head to see what was happening, Di Geng led them in forming an iron shield phalanx with other Moongate warriors below the city wall.

  This iron shield formation was specially used to defend against some large-scale attacks by the enemy, and Liu Yu and others had practiced it many times when they first joined the army. In the past few days, they had also practiced several times with the warriors of the Second Legion, Bimon.

  "Full contact."

  "Full assembly." The commands of several beast tribe officers echoed repeatedly in Liu Yu's ears.

  At this time, on the city wall of Emalbong Fortress from east to west, behind the city wall more than ten meters away, a phalanx formed by a large number of Bi Mong warriors with iron shields almost occupied the entire canyon passage, which was no more than 100 meters wide.

  The entire iron shield formation was divided into two parts by the eight catapults in between, with the front part of the formation being only over twenty meters long, and the rear part nearly fifty meters long.

  In the sky, dense arrows fell like raindrops, but the vast majority were blocked by the iron shield phalanx of the Mongol warriors. Many arrows also landed on the black iron catapults, but they couldn't cause any damage to these iron machines.

  Those black stone walls that crossed the Emalbawn fortress, the arrows that came from the east, lost their power and fell to the ground just over ten meters away from the rear half-iron shield formation.

  Behind the rear phalanx, about twenty or thirty meters away, there were a small number of Bimon warriors and a large number of Wolf Tribe warriors, standing in several neat squares. These two tribes of warriors all wore long swords at their waists, wore black leather armor, quietly watching the arrows falling in front of them, with a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

  Between the two tribal warriors' squads, sixteen catapults were neatly arranged in four rows. Beside each catapult stood several tall, muscular warriors wearing light golden armor from Bimon.

  At this time, on the city wall of Emalbong Fortress, there were still a large number of Bimon warriors who formed a phalanx with iron shields to resist the incoming arrows. As for the stones thrown by the catapults, if they were about to hit the soldiers' formation on the city wall, they would be shattered by several golden arrows.

  But the stones that hit the city wall, no arrow will take care of. It's just that at this moment, if you observe carefully, you'll find that there is a faint crimson light screen on the black stone city wall of the fortress.

  Although those rocks flew quite far and hit downwards with great force, more than half of the impact was dissipated when they struck the light screen. As a result, the originally extremely sturdy black stone city walls did not suffer any substantial damage.

  On the north side of the fortress wall, near the mountain wall, a cave was dug out of the mountain body, about two or three meters deep, which could hold seven or eight people. At this time, there were several beast tribe officers inside the cave, staring at the front of the fortress through the entrance.

  At this time, in the mountain pass at the front of the fortress, a Farnod army wearing blue uniforms completely blocked the mountain mouth. The most forward part of this army was a phalanx composed of dozens of rows of infantrymen holding iron shields, forming seven or eight continuous lines.

  These infantrymen are now standing still in their original positions, and between each of their squares there is a row of archers and a number of catapults. It was these troops who were continually firing arrows and stones at the fortress of Emal Begen.

  Beyond the mountain pass, the plain outside the mountain was already filled with blue Fano army, as if the plain had turned blue.

  Infantry assault

  "A loud order of the human army, 'Infantry Attack', began to be repeated in the Fano Army. The infantry phalanx at the forefront slowly moved forward with shields."

  "Ignite." As the first infantry phalanx moved forward, a line of fire, only as thick as an arm, quickly ignited on the ground in front of a row of archers behind them.

  The newly drawn arrows by the archers had several layers of black, sticky cloth tied to their arrowheads. All the archers stretched out the arrows in their hands towards the fire line, and the arrowheads were ignited.

  "The order 'Fire Arrows' was given, and the archers shot the fire arrows in their hands towards the fort in front of them."

  As the first row of rockets had just been fired, the second row, third row, fourth row... rockets also rushed towards that black rock fortress, looking from a distance like a sky full of fire rain, pounding against the fort's city wall was quite spectacular.
