Chapter 1320

As the spatial mirror high in the sky gradually took shape, Yan Liu suddenly thought of this possibility.

The possibility of executing the plan naturally fell upon the newly arrived Ming Ji and the others. The four being watched by Yan Liu all looked at him at the same time; just as Yan Liu waved them over, the four walked over.

"General Yan, is there anything you need us to do?" Ming Ji took the initiative to ask.

Nodding, Yan Liu indeed noticed that the four before him, whether in blood qi or in their bearing, were far above ordinary soldiers—at least reaching the level of fifth or sixth rank.

"The city wall is about to collapse, and a large-scale collapse may occur at that time. I hope you can each lead some soldiers to form a defensive line together. Of course, what I hope even more is that you can kill those mages, if those mages dare to approach."

Yan Liu had long instructed the archers to focus their attention on the cavalry and the mages as much as possible, but those mages were very cunning, hiding at the edge of the archers' target range, and even if they got a bit closer, they were still heavily protected by surrounding soldiers.

If they hadn't relied on explosives to blow up some mages earlier, those mages would probably still be living free and easy. The four of Ming Ji's group also showed some hesitation on their faces—well-intentioned but lacking the strength. Mages are the top priority of the enemy's final assault; there will surely be layers of soldiers protecting them around. To rush in and kill them rashly would probably also make them the enemy's concentrated-fire target.

Unless they used transformation, relying on high mobility and powerful recovery ability, it might be possible. The other three thought of this and looked together at Ming Ji, who was leading them.

But Ming Ji shook her head imperceptibly—now was not yet the time to reveal their abilities.

"You've also seen it—the spatial mirror in the sky needs mages to activate it, but I can tell you that the range and formation speed of the very first spatial mirror were far faster and larger than now. However, in the previous wave of the enemy's attack, we killed nearly two thousand mages, so the enemy's spatial mirror magic this time formed slowly and with a small range."

Regarding what Yan Liu said, Ming Ji naturally knew; she herself was a spatial mage and naturally understood how complex spatial magic was, and how much mana and mental energy it consumed.

Without corresponding treasures and a large amount of mana to cooperate, casting an ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation would be almost murder!

It would drain a spatial mage's mana and vitality in an instant!

"General Yan, what you've said—we can only do our best. On the battlefield, an individual's combat power is extremely limited."

"Yes, that's why I hope you will participate in defending the city and attack those mages first. If your attack range doesn't reach, then forget it."

Sigh!

Yan Liu sighed.

On the battlefield, when individual strength faces an army of thousands, unless one is a seventh-rank powerhouse who can come and go freely, even a sixth-rank powerhouse will be drowned by numbers.

The four before him were, after all, subordinates of the Third Imperial Prince; they actually had no obligation to help their Eternal Night Legion defend Colin Fortress. The fact that they were willing to come help now was already very good—how could he dare ask for more?

"Just do your best."

Throwing down these words, Yan Liu turned and left.

Ming Ji watched Yan Liu leave, recalling His Highness's order—although the use of that move was permitted, it should only be used at the very last moment.

"You three must not transform unless absolutely necessary!

"Understood?"

"Understood!" the three said in unison.

The magic mirror in the sky finally took shape, and a steady stream of magic cannonballs once again concentrated fire on the crumbling Colin Fortress. The Holy Son was unsure whether the enemy still had black powder left, so he ordered the kingdom's magic-guided cannonballs to bombard the entire Colin Fortress city wall as much as possible. Once the city wall disappeared, their assault would be much easier.

At the very least, the role of the cavalry would no longer be restricted.

Amid the scattered bombardment, the already crack-covered city wall of Colin Fortress finally could not hold up and collapsed with a rumble, kicking up countless dust that obscured both sides' vision. As the magic cannonball bombardment ended, the magic mirror in the sky disappeared.

The Holy Kingdom army sounded the charge horn at the first opportunity.

The cavalry legion acting as the vanguard launched a direct charge. Previously, the terrain had restricted them from unleashing the cavalry's might; now that the city wall had fallen, it was time for them to display their prowess.

"Prepare to shoot!"

"Connected shield wall! Spearmen, prepare!"

Yan Liu quickly scanned the brothers on his left and right; seeing they were safe and sound, he swiftly issued orders.

The shield wall was formed with the cooperation of the shield soldiers, and the spearmen behind were also ready. As for the other soldiers, they acted as archers by the city, using up all the remaining arrows while there was still some sunlight to roughly see the enemies' positions.

Starting a battle as night approached was not a good choice—the moon's brightness was nowhere near as bright as the sun's, and if dark clouds appeared, it would truly be pitch-black like you couldn't see your own hand. Tonight happened to encounter dark clouds; once the sun completely set, it would truly be completely dark.

If Colin Fortress's city wall were still standing, the Holy Kingdom army might still have some advantage—the defenders on the wall would surely prepare a large number of torches for garrison defense—but now the city wall had unfortunately already collapsed.
