Huuu... Huuu... Huuu...
As I stood there in stunned silence, a fierce gust of wind suddenly swept across the front of the city wall, and for a moment the outside world was plunged into darkness. The raging winds howled and sent the enemy army outside stumbling about in all directions!
Tick... tick... tick...
Under my stunned gaze, small white dots began to appear in the space outside the city, gradually... the white dots got bigger and bigger, oh my god... it's actually hail!
In just a short while, the hailstones had grown to the size of fists, and under the acceleration of the strong winds, they became tiny cannonballs that smashed into the enemy's heads, causing blood to flow.
Bang!
Suddenly... a loud noise, the sky seemed to be struck by someone with all their might, the huge sound made everyone lose their hearing for a moment, even the entire city wall seemed to shake.
I lifted my head in shock, only to see countless red dots appearing in the air. In just an instant... they entered our line of sight. I stared blankly at the tens of thousands of fist-sized fireballs descending from the sky, my mouth agape. At this moment... I finally witnessed the power of magic!
A rain of fire mixed with hailstones, falling from the sky in a blanket of flames, instantly turning the area around the city walls into a sea of fire. All enemies within range were engulfed, one by one becoming human torches, rolling about in agony as they tried to put out the flames on their bodies.
But... everything was in vain, after rolling over a few times, they were all burned to death, stiff and unnatural, lying there, with flames flickering on their bodies from time to time.
Silently watching the suffering enemy soldiers at the foot of the city, I secretly sneered. This... is probably the taste of ********* now, only to wonder... how long this attack can be sustained. If it can be sustained forever, then these 1000 mages alone can defend the city!
Ten minutes later, all the mages stopped attacking. After all... they were also human, their magic was limited and it was impossible to attack indefinitely. They had to take some time to recover their magic before they could launch another attack.
Don't underestimate these mages, although there are only 1,000 of them, each and every one of their levels has reached the standard of a great mage. In terms of individual strength, they are even stronger than me and my four brothers. No matter where you put them, these 1,000 mages are an unstoppable force!
In this world, mages are the most noble profession, with no other occupation surpassing them. A high-ranking mage's status is even comparable to that of a noble, and it can be said that someone who reaches the rank of Archmage has an identity equivalent to that of a noble!
Looking at that large-scale destructive magic for the first time... I had an unparalleled yearning for magic, what's the point of just slashing with a knife, it's too monotonous, too boring, if only I could use magic too!
Just as they were about to enter a state of trance, the enemy's roar suddenly echoed outside the city again. As soon as they saw that the flames had been extinguished, they once again propped up their ladders and charged towards the city wall.
The archer only had time to shoot two rounds of strong arrows, and the enemy had already rushed to the bottom of the city, one by one putting ladders on the city wall, and leaping up like a leopard, forcing the archers to quickly leave the edge of the city wall. Otherwise... With their poor close combat ability, they couldn't even withstand the enemy's attack, let alone delay them for a moment.
At the command of each team leader, all close combat warriors and quickly retreating archers rushed past each other, swiftly pounced on the city wall, preparing to slash and kill the enemy climbing up from the ladders outside the city.
The warriors of this world and those on Earth are completely different, they don't climb ladders, in front of them, the ladder is like a step, quickly jumping over.
After all... every warrior has the strength of a novice martial artist, so they climbed up the ladder without using their hands, and swiftly sprang over like a qinggong master in a Chinese martial arts film!
Before we had time to feel sentimental, the five of us brothers and all the warriors rushed to the city wall together, drew our weapons one after another, and prepared to fight against the rapidly approaching enemy.
My five brothers and I guarded a 50-meter-long section of the city wall. Within this section, the enemy had set up two ladders, on which more than a dozen enemies were jumping up and down, and in an instant they rushed to our faces.
Slowly, I reached back and gently grasped the hilt of my battle-worn sword. In an instant... endless killing intent surged into my mind like a thunderclap. Instantly... my eyes turned blood-red once more, boundless resentment and venom spreading rapidly from within, and in that moment... every last drop of my blood was boiling!
Roar!
With a loud roar, I took a swift step forward, and suddenly faced the dozen or so warriors rushing down from the two ladders. Now... there was only one thought in my mind - kill!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo......
Just as I was about to step onto the city wall, a dozen or so warriors jumped up together and pounced on me in mid-air. This is the usual practice of all warriors when attacking a city. In this one jump, the relationship between high and low was completely transformed!
Originally... we were in a superior position, having the geographical advantage, but... with this one jump, we suddenly lost this advantage, and not only that... the advantage turned around to be in their favor!
This is not all, this jump, not only won the spatial advantage for themselves, but also brought them a numerical advantage, more than a dozen people jumped into the air at the same time, each person's position and height were different, suddenly... More than a dozen warriors rushed towards me like a big net.
The corners of my mouth slightly hooked, I slightly closed my eyes, completely using my ears to judge the enemy's position and direction of attack. You want to take advantage of being outnumbered? Fine! That suits me just fine......
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang......
In the midst of a series of clanging sounds, nine sharp cold gleams suddenly appeared in the air. Amidst the reverberations, I and ten warriors brushed past each other, standing coolly at the edge of the city wall, gazing down with expectant eyes at the enemies continuing to leap up from below.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang......
In the midst of a dozen muffled sounds, a dozen or so warriors rushing towards me flashed red light on their bodies. The next moment... Their bodies floating in mid-air quickly exploded into a vast expanse of black ash, drifting away with the wind!
The enemy didn't show the slightest concern or fear due to my slaughter, and they continued to charge towards the city head-on, but... this was exactly what I wanted! The more that came, the better.
I don't know how many people I've killed, the battle has been going on for more than two hours, but...the enemy shows no signs of stopping...In just these two hours, through the two ladders that rushed towards me, there were at least thousands of enemies, or even more...
The warriors around me have been replaced one after another, no one can withstand such a high-intensity battle, even the four brothers have already rested for four or five times, only I... With the help of Bǎi Zhàn Dāo (Hundred Battles Knife), I not only don't know what fatigue is, but instead become more courageous in battle, and my strength grows with each fight!
Although... the true energy within me has already been depleted, however... relying solely on combat skills, I am still superior to the enemy's warriors. Nevertheless... gradually, I can no longer be as sharp as when I first started fighting, lacking the augmentation of true energy, now I can only rely on my own close combat abilities to counter the enemy's attacks!
Cry...
A long, sonorous bugle call rang out, and my heart skipped a beat. I quickly cut down several enemy soldiers and rapidly retreated from the city wall position, because the tea house signal just now meant that we should temporarily fall back!
Just as I was retreating back into the city, a loud whooshing sound echoed through the sky. Astonished, I turned my head to see that those blue-robed figures were all pointing their wooden staffs at the city gate, and one by one, football-sized fireballs shot out from the tips of their staffs, whizzing towards the city gate!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion rocked the city wall, and all the enemy soldiers who had just rushed up to the city wall were suddenly hit by a fierce fireball, blown to pieces, and for a time... The city wall was littered with scattered bone fragments everywhere. The battle was so brutal that it was shocking.
Just as the fireball was launched, another part of the blue-robed mages raised their staffs, and a series of deep blue ice arrows flew quickly towards the city wall. As they reached the top of the wall, there was a faint explosion, and in an instant... The temperature on the top of the wall suddenly dropped, and in just one moment, the top of the wall was covered with white frost!
When the enemy who jumped down from the city wall wanted to land on the ground, they desperately found... The flat city wall had risen with countless sharp thorns, each of which was more than one meter long, extremely sharp and hard.
Some people wanted to turn their heads and fall onto the wall's parapet, in order to avoid being stabbed to death. However, at this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose on the city wall, causing everyone to stumble and lose their footing. Some fell inside the city wall, while others tumbled down from the wall. From such a high wall, falling like that would likely result in severe injury or disability, even if they didn't die.
