Chapter 1315

"Also, these explosives aren't safe sitting here—move them all into the buildings in the rear." What Yan Liu was worried about, naturally, was whether the Holy Kingdom would hit them with another concentrated volley of magic cannon shells. If even a single magic shell exploded anywhere near the black powder, the Kongpajiu Society would set off a chain reaction. He had to be cautious—cautious, and again cautious.

"We absolutely cannot miss this chance to deal heavy damage to the Holy Kingdom's army."

Once everything was prepared, on the other side the Holy Kingdom's army once more sounded the horn, and the great host launched its second assault.

"Everyone up to defend the city! At the breach, raise a double-layered shield wall—take turns going forward!"

........ 0.......

The moment Yan Liu's order was issued, three ranks of soldiers gripping oversized shields rushed to the very front, using their own flesh and blood to erect a two-meter-tall great-shield wall before them.

"Personnel on the left and right city walls, get ready—those with shields, raise them; those throwing black powder, throw it. Just in case, we have to use it all up as fast as we can."

On each side of the city wall, three men propped up great shields at a forty-five-degree angle; behind the shields stood two soldiers handling the explosives—one held a torch, the other was in charge of tossing the charges.

"Is everyone ready?"

"Ready!"

The morale-soaring reply left Yan Liu thoroughly satisfied.

He had a premonition: once they began using explosives on a large scale, the next wave of attack would very likely make the enemy prioritize bombarding them with magic-crystal cannons. So in this assault, they had to use the explosives to kill as many Holy Kingdom soldiers as possible.

Only that way, in the next wave of attack, could they reduce the pressure on themselves to some degree.

He glanced at the already crack-webbed walls of Colin Fortress. Yan Liu knew that if another round of magic-crystal cannon bombardment came, the walls definitely would not hold—large-scale collapse was very likely. That would be the moment of the enemy's full-scale assault. W.
