Chapter 272: Taking Jushi Castle

The defensive strength of Jushi Castle is indeed quite good; after the drawbridge is pulled up, if a Professional Knight wants to charge over to attack the gate, they must inevitably endure the attacks of the garrison on the city wall.

However, relying on the Magic Cannon, Luoning can launch an attack on the gate of Jushi Castle from over a hundred meters away.

"Boom—"

The massive collision sound made the earth tremble, and the soldiers on the city wall were shaken until they swayed and stumbled, their souls quaking.

Especially behind the castle gate, those knights holding the iron gate with pillars were directly knocked over by the impact of the Magic Cannon's strike.

"Hold the line for me!"

Bulisuo roared loudly, commanding the castle knights to guard the gate once more, while he himself grabbed an iron pillar and braced it against the gate.

"The Magic Cannon consumes a great deal of Battle Qi from knights; they can fire it at most two or three times. If we hold out, we win!"

Two or three times?

If it were only Ruidar, in order to preserve a certain amount of Battle Qi, he could indeed only fire it three times.

But there is more than one Fire Attribute Silver Knight present; Mawen and Tolu are as well.

With this Magic Cannon, a Silver Peak Knight could fire it three to five times, not to mention Tolu, who is a genuine Golden Grade.

"Quick, quick, quick, let me have a go."

Mawen rubbed his palms together and squeezed Ruidar aside, and Tolu also approached, showing great interest.

Boom, boom—

One shot, two shots, three shots...

No matter how strong the iron gate of Jushi Castle is, it cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of Level 6 Magic.

Finally, after the fourth bombardment, the iron gate could no longer withstand the massive impact force; it detached directly from the city wall and was pushed by the scorching air wave to crash into the interior of the castle.

The knights behind the gate were directly blasted away; some were crushed to death by the iron gate, while others fell heavily to the ground, unable to climb back up.

"It's broken!"

Everyone's spirits lifted.

Luoning drew the Yanliu Sword, his voice spreading across the battlefield: "Attack!"

Although the drawbridge had been pulled up by Keruien, the width of over ten meters was no obstacle for Professional Knights; they could cross it in a single leap.

"Kill!"

Battle Qi Armor lit up on Viscount Mawen; he bent his legs, kicked off the ground fiercely, and shot out like a cannonball, landing heavily on the other side.

It was not just him; Tolu, Talun, Feilipu, Solstein, and others moved almost simultaneously.

A group of Bronze and Advanced Knights also lit up their Battle Qi Armor and followed closely behind.

On the city wall, Keruien's face was pale; he had not expected the situation to suddenly evolve into this.

He had observed the forces of Wushan Castle and Wubei Territory and had not discovered that they were carrying a weapon like a Magic Cannon; how could they suddenly produce such a big guy?

The city gate being breached dealt Keruien a heavy blow, pushing him to the edge of death.

He knew in his heart that without the castle's defense, he had no capital to contend with the Noble Allied Forces.

The defeat was set.

But he had not yet given up.

Keruien took a longbow, drew the string, and nocked an arrow; the Magic Arrow shot out like a streak of light. Although the aim was slightly off, it still pierced the shoulder of an Advanced Knight, pinning him to the ground.

"Everyone, attack for me!"

Seeing this scene, the archers, spearmen, and stone-throwers on the city wall gained confidence and launched a fierce attack downward.

However, they were all ordinary people and were not using Magic weapons, so the threat was smaller.

"It's a Magic Arrow, everyone be careful!"

Tolu called out a warning, and he glanced at Keruien on the city wall: "Bronze and Silver Knights, cover me as I charge into the castle; I will go up the wall to stop Keruien!"

The Magic Arrow did not pose much of a threat to them, but it was a great threat to the Advanced Knights.

They could not let Keruien shoot steadily.

Immediately, a dozen people covered Tolu as he charged into the castle, colliding head-on with Bulisuo and his Knight Squad who were waiting inside.

On the other side, the Advanced Knights raised their Shields and, while dodging arrows, charged toward the drawbridge's traction device. They needed to lower the drawbridge to let the troops on the other side charge over.

"In the way!"

Luoning looked at the arrow towers on the city wall; their existence hindered the knights from lowering the drawbridge.

"Then I'll give you a big gift."

The fire elements between heaven and earth condensed before him, and a massive fireball smashed toward the arrow tower on the castle.

Although the power of the fireball was not as great as the Level 6 Magic emitted by the Magic Cannon, the arrow tower was not as sturdy as the city gate.

With a boom, the arrow tower was blasted open, and the scorching air wave directly incapacitated the archers inside.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Keruien immediately locked his gaze onto Luoning.

He was not sure how Luoning had released this magic, but he was clear that this magic had come from Luoning.

"It's all your fault!"

Keruien drew the string again, the Magic Arrow aiming at Luoning.

Whoosh!

The arrow light flew rapidly, intending to pierce Luoning's skull, but it was directly grasped by Ruidar, who was guarding at his side.

At this moment, Luoning cast his spell a second time, bombarding the arrow tower on the other side.

"He is an Advanced Mage? How is this possible!"

Keruien was stunned, his head buzzing.

He had no time to think further, because Tolu had already shaken off Bulisuo's entanglement and charged onto the city wall.

Two Flame Explosion Techniques greatly reduced the pressure on the Knights below; they used their Shields to protect one another and forcibly lowered the drawbridge.

"Charge!"

As the drawbridge fell, the Primary Knights, Intermediate Knights, and Infantry who had been waiting for Along time all charged up.

Just as Luoning felt the overall situation was settled, a red beam of light, compressed to the extreme, shot out from inside the castle, piercing through the bodies of several Knights along the way, and headed straight for Luoning.

"It's the Golden Grade Battle Technique 'Fire Flash'!"

Luoning remembered that during the battle between Lulansi and Aosen, the Marquis had used this move.

He did not move, but Ruidar, who was at his side, had already drawn his long sword and used an Instant Burn to extinguish the remaining force of the Fire Flash.

"Ruidar, there is a Golden Knight inside; you go up and help as well."

"Very well, my lord, please be careful."

At this moment, taking advantage of Mawen and the others being unprepared, Bulisuo unexpectedly displayed powerful strength and cleared a path.

"Since there is no way to trap and kill the Noble Allied Forces, then I will kill you!"

Taking Luoning's life was part of their plan from the beginning.

Now Jushi Castle was finished, and counting on them and Chishan Town to jointly annihilate the Noble Allied Forces was clearly no longer possible.

Therefore, Bulisuo decided to kill Luoning and then retreat himself.

In this way, it could be considered as having some effect from this alliance.

A Golden Knight could be called an existence capable of "taking the enemy general's head from amidst ten thousand troops," and Bulisuo indeed had the confidence for it.

"Oh no, he wants to kill Luoning!"

Mawen and the others were shocked.

At this time, Tolu had already rushed onto the city wall to find Keruien, so they were the only ones who could block this Golden Knight.

"Stop him!"

The four of them immediately lunged toward Bulisuo.

"A bunch of Silvers think they can keep up with my speed?"

Bulisuo glanced at the people chasing him with disdain; he darted left and right through the chaotic crowd, charged directly out of the castle gate, and fought his way across the drawbridge, only to see the Knights beside Luoning lunging toward him.

"Get lost!"

Bulisuo thrust his sword, preparing to pierce Ruidar's heart.

Battle Qi Armor ignited on Ruidar's body as he raised his sword to block.

With a loud clang, the Battle Qi formed a violent burst that swept across the surrounding battlefield, directly knocking the surrounding Infantry back.

Bulisuo's strength was very high, and even Ruidar was knocked backward, but his rhythm of attack was interrupted.

"Silver Grade, and at the peak?"

Bulisuo cursed Luoning's deviousness in his heart; this Silver Knight had not been registered and belonged to hidden strength.

Seeing this scene, Mawen and the others all revealed looks of surprise.

They had guessed whether this person was hiding his strength when Ruidar used the Magic Cannon, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

"Even if you are at the Silver-tier Peak, don't even think about stopping me!"

Bulisuo roared, wanting to break through Ruidar's defense, but his footsteps were blocked by the latter's continuous attacks.

With this delay, the four Knights chasing from behind quickly surrounded him.

Even though Bulisuo was a Golden Knight, it was difficult for him to parry while facing five Silvers at the same time, and he was soon defeated.

On the other hand, Keruien was no match for Tolu at all.

After exchanging only two or three blows, he had one of his arms cut off and was captured alive by Tolu.

With the two strongest people in Jushi Castle captured one after another, this siege battle had come to an end. (End of chapter)
