Chapter 613

Perhaps by that time, they would all be wiped out!

Before long, the Holy Kingdom's army came swarming again like a dark tide. The cavalry led the way, followed by shield-spearmen, archers, and even the Class Mage corps were dispatched.

"Fire arrows!"

On the city wall, the number of Nightless Legion archers was greater than last time, almost shoulder to shoulder. Facing the incoming cavalry, the archers began to fire almost simultaneously. Arrows fell like rain. The Holy Kingdom's cavalry fell from their horses one after another, but this was only a small portion. There were always a few lucky ones who broke through the rain of arrows, reached the shield wall, and then leaped over.

More cavalry followed, jumping into the fray. The hooves of the horses crashed heavily into the backs of the cavalry in front, causing them to fall. The crisp sound of breaking spines rang out, accompanied by the screams of the cavalry.

The screams of one cavalryman could not stop this domino-like chain reaction. One cavalryman after another followed in succession, and the hooves behind mercilessly trampled the cavalry in front, even as the corpses gradually piled higher and higher.

It could not be stopped. Even if the cavalry in front did not die immediately, the Nightless soldiers hiding behind the second row of the shield wall would not hesitate to thrust their long spears, sending the heavily injured cavalry to their end.

Seeing that the number of dead cavalry was about enough!

"Ready!"

Yan Liu stood on the city wall, watching the situation and shouting.

Because of the archers, the number of cavalry capable of crossing the first shield wall was not large, but the first shield wall had not been destroyed by the cavalry that crossed it. Subsequent shield-spearmen and archers arrived one after another, further compressing the range of the cavalry.

Soon, the cavalry received the order to retreat.

Let the shield-spearmen do what the cavalry could not.

As the enemy gradually approached, the mages continuously attacked the first row of the shield wall with fireballs and ice bolts. The soldiers of the first row of shields gritted their teeth and held on resolutely, but they soon showed signs of fatigue.

The shield wall had no magic-resistant properties, and the pressure on the soldiers behind was immense. Whether it was the heat from the fireball explosions making the shields too hot to hold, or the ice arrows making the shields freezing cold, the soldiers behind could only rely on their hands to hold on tightly.

Watching the shields trembling in front, the Holy Kingdom captain continued to issue the order to advance, wearing a slight, hideous grin. He knew that with the attacks from the Class Mage corps, these shield walls would be vulnerable.

Soon, the soldiers behind these shield walls had to face the dilemma of retreating. If they didn't retreat, they would inevitably be killed by magic; if they retreated, they would lose their position.

Either way, it was what the Holy Kingdom wanted to see!

"Throw bombs!"

The Holy Kingdom's shield-spearmen slowly moved up. The sound from above made the captain suspicious, but he didn't take it to heart and continued to order the Class Mage corps to attack. Just at this moment, a black object fell from the sky and landed right on the captain's head.

What the hell hit my head?

The next second!

Boom!

The explosion rang out!

Including the Holy Kingdom captain, a dozen people crowded together around him were instantly lifted by the shock of the explosion and died on the spot. The shields of the front-line shield-spearmen were knocked out of their hands, exposing the Holy Kingdom soldiers behind who had been injured by the blast.

"Continuous thrusts!"

The Nightless soldiers behind the second shield wall quickly pressed their shields against the backs of the first row of shield-bearers, and the soldiers behind the first shield wall immediately thrust their long spears out through the holes in the shield wall.

Swish!

The long spears mercilessly pierced the chests of those soldiers without shield protection, killing them in one blow!

"Continue throwing bombs!"

Above their heads, black gunpowder was continuously lit and dropped into the crowded and dense phalanx of Holy Kingdom soldiers below. Around the shield-spearmen, archers, and even the mages, explosions rang out one after another. Severed limbs and arms, blood splashing, smoke filling the air...

In an instant, the Holy Kingdom suffered heavy casualties. The denser the crowd, the greater the power of the explosives!

The Holy Kingdom soldiers, who had no defense, directly experienced the feeling the Nightless soldiers had when they were bombarded by magic cannonballs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions continued to ring in their ears, accompanied by the screams of one Holy Kingdom soldier after another, rising and falling!

"Ah ah... my hand... my hand... help me... Holy King."

Watching the miserable state of the Holy Kingdom below, the Nightless soldiers on the city wall felt very comfortable, and the frequency of throwing explosive packages became more and more frequent, and they threw them further and further.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions continued to ring out. Compared to the terrifying power of the magic cannonballs before, the explosive packages in their hands, while not as powerful, still had a significant clearing effect. As the explosive packages were thrown into the crowd, they could instantly blast out an empty area with a radius of 1 meter.

As for the soldiers closer to the edge, although they wouldn't die immediately, the power of the explosives still caused them to be injured—the light ones were scared to the ground, and the heavy ones were thrown away, wishing they were dead.

The Holy Kingdom soldiers had never seen such a scene. In the past, only they had bullied other small countries; now that they were being bombarded like this, one soldier after another stood frozen in place, continuously moving forward.

But the soldiers in the rear didn't know what was happening in the front. They only heard the familiar boom sounds and saw corpses being continuously thrown into the air, thinking that some powerful person was putting up resistance.
