Chapter 148

The eight clans' people exchanged glances and immediately sent their subordinates to transmit the news back to their clans by various means.

All those from the eight clans who came to observe the battle brought along many subordinates, precisely to relay messages back at any moment.

Then, these members of the eight clans temporarily suppressed their doubts and turned their gazes toward Aldington, all eager to see how Aldington would respond.

Would they retreat, or choose to attack this city that had suddenly appeared?

Aldington's gaze remained fixed on the massive city; its towering walls filled it with deep unease.

Such a city would be extremely difficult for the orcs, who lacked siege equipment, to breach.

But…

On the Continent of Gods, when a powerful cultivator reaches a certain realm, they can crush everything underfoot!

"As long as the enemy's magicians have not achieved Sixth Rank, I alone can break this city!"

Aldington's gaze grew deep and solemn.

It had made its decision!

Attack the city!

As a powerful Sixth-Rank warrior who possessed the divine armor granted by the Old Lion King, as long as this city had no Sixth-Rank mage, Aldington could break it with a single sword strike!

Sixth-Rank mages were exceedingly rare; Aldington did not believe the enemy had one.

After returning to the Lion Clan's territory, it had personally visited Lion Pass and the place where Prince Bert had perished.

Aldington had its own judgment on that magician's strength!

Absolutely no Sixth Rank!

At most, Fifth Rank!

And it—Aldington—was a true Sixth-Rank warrior!

Sixth Rank could already dominate a war involving thousands!

One Sixth-Rank warrior could, single-handedly, slaughter an entire force of two or three thousand!

The scale of this war was certainly greater than just thousands.

But remember, behind Aldington stood sixty thousand mighty Lion Clan warriors!

Aldington only needed to use its overwhelming strength to breach the gates and eliminate the enemy's top-tier combatants!

Even if that Fifth-Rank magician's attacks were fierce, Aldington, as a Sixth-Rank orc warrior, was not afraid of it.

Besides, it had the divine armor!

After the city fell, the mighty Lion Clan army would handle everything else!

No matter how bizarre this city had appeared!

Once taken, everything would become clear!

"Issue orders: today's afternoon until tomorrow morning, the entire army rests. At sunrise tomorrow, we attack the city! No matter how tall this city is, I alone can break it!"

Aldington issued the order, its voice resolute and ringing with unshakable confidence!

"Aldington truly deserves to be called a Sixth-Rank warrior—alone, it can break a city! If anyone else said that, I'd think them arrogant, but coming from it, I truly believe it can!"

Aldington's command struck awe into the members of the eight clans.

Of course, these members of the eight clans would not be pleased at all.

The stronger Aldington became, the stronger the Lion Clan grew—and the more unbearable that became for the eight clans!

That afternoon, the entire Lion Clan army went out to cut down forests and clear a vast open area.

This was to prevent the people inside the massive city from launching fire attacks as a surprise.

Some Lion Clan warriors were also using the trees to construct simple siege equipment!

Such as ladders.

Although Aldington was confident it could break the city alone, the experienced General Reed decided to be more cautious.

Aldington said nothing.

Although it commanded the entire army, the actual operational command rested with General Reed.

As a Sixth-Rank warrior, it always led from the front—that was precisely why it earned the fierce loyalty of so many Lion Clan warriors!

After a night of rest, at dawn the next day, the vast Lion Clan army marched toward the City of Miracles!

The Lion Clan warriors in this army had never seen the City of Miracles before.

So when they saw it, each one was utterly astonished.

Some Lion Clan warriors were already trembling inside!

Even though they outnumbered the enemy and were fierce and battle-hardened, facing such a mighty city, they felt a pang of doubt.
