Chapter 150

Obviously, it's going to attack on its own!

"Prince Or, first test their strength before advancing!"

At this moment, General Reed said.

Aldington paused, then said: "Alright!"

General Reed turned to a nearby messenger: "Order the Vanguard to advance—probe only!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly relayed the order downward.

Immediately, from within the lion tribe's ranks, a force of five thousand lion warriors charged toward the City of Miracles, bearing massive shields.

"Is this force here just to probe?"

On the city wall, Princess Lodi of the cat tribe said.

Princess Lodi had already offered a drop of her blood to Lin Yan within the newly built cat temple, becoming his Holy Maiden!

This adorable cat-eared girl, besides being cute, was actually quite clever!

"Yes, they're here to probe."

The fox maiden Sister Qing Ling confirmed Princess Lodi's words, then gave her order:

"Order: Do not attack unless I command it."

Beside the fox maiden Sister Qing Ling, Meng Ying watched the scene below with a calm expression.

After becoming a Sixth-Rank Archmage, Meng Ying's aura had grown even more outstanding.

Merely standing there quietly, she could become the most radiant figure in any crowd.

Of course, the other women present were no less impressive—each possessed her own unique aura.

Princess Lodi was adorable; the dwarf queen Aiwei looked equally cute on the outside, yet she was truly the Dwarf Queen; the fox maiden Sister Qing Ling and Meng Ying shared similar auras, and in many aspects, they were evenly matched.

If any one of them were placed elsewhere, she could outshine all others!

The five thousand lion warriors moved swiftly; soon they neared the wall, closing to less than a hundred meters—well within the range of the archers on the wall—but to their surprise, no attacks fell from above.

"Huh? They're not attacking!"

Far away, General Reed let out a soft exclamation.

"Order: Continue the assault!"

General Reed said.

The five thousand lion warriors pressed forward toward the wall.

In an instant, they reached the base of the wall—and then…

They all froze in shock!

The wall was tall and straight, seemingly thick, built entirely of square stone blocks—how could they possibly attack it?

They seemed to have no choice but to stand helplessly beneath it.

"Boom!"

At the gate, dozens of lion warriors repeatedly slammed into the gate, but the gate was forged entirely of iron—after pounding for a long time, it didn't budge an inch!

"Build a human ladder!"

One of the lion warriors shouted.

Instantly, the lion warriors began forming human ladders.

Standing upright, each lion warrior stood over three meters tall; they scrambled to build the ladder, quickly stacking three layers, then four.

Then, one lion warrior climbed to the fifth layer and leaped with all his strength, grabbing the top of the wall.

"Ah!"

The moment his fingers touched the wall, a blade cleanly severed them—he tumbled down.

Immediately, boiling water poured down from the wall, scalding the lion warriors, who screamed in agony—the human ladder tactic collapsed instantly!

Yet, because they had clustered together to build the ladder, their density had increased dramatically compared to before.

"It's time!"

The fox maiden Sister Qing Ling gently pressed her hand down.

With her motion, a thousand centaur warriors suddenly appeared on the wall, each holding a spear whose tip erupted in red flame.

The centaur warriors hurled their spears toward the densely packed lion warriors!

"Boom!"

The flames on the spears exploded violently.

A thousand explosive fire spears obliterated all five thousand clustered lion warriors!

In an instant, countless lion warriors were blown to death!

Beneath the wall, the ground became a sea of fire in an instant.

Even those not killed by the blast were burned alive as the flames raged.

The screams of the dying lion warriors rose and fell beneath the wall.

The casualties inflicted by these thousand explosive spears were more than twice those of the thousand spears that had slain Prince Bert's two thousand troops on lion territory!

This was thanks to the lion warriors' human ladder tactic.

Had they not clustered to build the ladder, they would never have been so densely packed—the explosive spears would never have achieved such devastating results!

And all of this was naturally within the fox maiden Sister Qing Ling's calculations—otherwise, why had the wall offered no substantial attack for so long as the five thousand lion warriors advanced?

Even though it was merely a probing assault, Sister Qing Ling intended to devour them all and deliver a crushing warning to the lion tribe!

One kilometer away, witnessing this, General Reed's eyes narrowed.

Beside it, whether the ten lion princes, the army's high command, the eight tribes watching from afar, or the front-line lion warriors who saw it—all were momentarily stunned.

He was truly dumbfounded!
