Chapter 2771

Winter City had already appeared three kilometers away. The Holy Emblem Knights charged in the front. According to the prior agreement, the Holy Emblem would attack the city, and the wolf cavalry would block the enemy's reinforcements.

Su Xiao ordered the wolf cavalry legion to be divided into five groups, each with a scale of about 100,000, and blocked the front of Winter City with a semi-enclosed defensive formation.

Thump, thump, thump...

Dull sounds came from above the city walls of Winter City. At the front of the top of the city wall, thousands of ballistae were pushed out.

Seeing these ballistae, Legion Commander Tuert's eyelids twitched. As the main city of the Northern Territory, Winter City's defensive strength was somewhat exaggerated.

Originally, the Heavy Hammer troops were responsible for guarding Winter City, but because the Heavy Hammer troops were transferred to the Ice Wind Zone, only the troops of the eldest daughter of the Extreme Ice Lord could guard this main city, which was the troops of the eldest daughter, Ayana.

This troop was named the Iron Wall Legion, a heavy shield infantry team that claimed to be as famous as the Heavy Hammer troops, but in fact, this was not the case.

The strength of the Heavy Hammer troops was recognized by both the wolf cavalry and the Holy Emblem. Except for their "worrying IQ," they were the well-deserved strongest troops on the Canglong Continent. As for the Iron Wall Legion, they were stronger than conventional troops but weaker than elite troops.

The scale of the Iron Wall Legion was about 400,000, all stationed on the city walls and inside the city. Clearly, the eldest daughter, Ayana, still had a good sense of self-awareness.

It was fine to brag a little in normal times, but at critical moments, one still had to be cautious to avoid being beaten by the wolf cavalry and the Holy Emblem until they doubted their lives. These two troops were angry lions and hungry wolves on the battlefield, and their reputation was carved out through killing.

"Warriors, it is time to prove the strength of our Iron Wall Legion!"

A Northern Territory officer stood on the city wall and shouted. The thousand ballistae on the city wall were already ready, just waiting for the Holy Emblem Knights to attack the city.

And three kilometers directly in front of Winter City, Tuert looked hesitant. There were simply too many ballistae in Winter City. Other large cities in the Northern Territory had at most a few dozen giant ballistae. These all-metal war weapons were expensive to build, and Duoyin had also tried to imitate them but had never achieved any results.

Given the current situation, Tuert no longer had the chance to go back on his word. With a wave of his hand, the Holy Emblem Knights began to attack the city.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huge fireballs flew out one after another. Before these fireballs had flown very far, most of them were shot and exploded by giant crossbow bolts wrapped in ice.

A total of five giant fireballs flew directly above the city wall. These fireballs shattered and turned into a large rain of fire, falling toward the city wall.

The city wall immediately ignited with flames. Taking advantage of this brief chaos, led by Tuert, the entire Holy Emblem Knights charged forward. Tuert was clearly the type of legion commander who said "follow me" rather than "charge for me," after all, his own combat power was there.

During the charge, Tuert looked at the black dragon in the high sky. He had been observing for a long time. The war demon never left the black dragon too far, and most of the time, he was standing on the dragon's back.

This gave Tuert an important piece of information. First, the war demon's own strength was not weak; after the opponent broke free from the seal in the capital's outer county, he killed several soldiers in a row, from which one could see the opponent's strength.

But that was limited to this. The opponent did not dare to leave the black dragon too far, indicating that the opponent needed the protection of the black dragon. Inferring this, the opponent's own combat power was definitely not in the top tier.

Thinking of this, Tuert felt confident. The wolf cavalry legion was very difficult to deal with, but as long as Kukulyn Bai Ye was killed, the wolf cavalry legion would inevitably fall into chaos, and then they could be annihilated with minimal losses.

The thoughts in Tuert's mind suddenly cleared up. He pointed the long sword in his hand forward. With a better mood, his strategy for commanding the siege was also clearer.

"Activate the spell."

After a shout on the city wall, the front of Winter City's city wall was rapidly covered with a layer of solid ice, covered with ice spikes.

Several Northern Territory officers on the city wall were all looking at Tuert who was charging over, with a trace of pity in their eyes. How could they not be prepared for the war between the Northern Territory and Duoyin? The defensive spells on the Winter City wall had long been changed by them. Regarding spells, the Northern Territory had also studied them for many years.

Ice spikes appeared on the front of the city wall. Not only that, the thousand ballistae on the city wall fired simultaneously. Metal crossbow bolts nearly ten meters long shot out, splitting in mid-air and turning into tens of thousands of powerful kinetic energy split crossbow bolts, carrying low temperatures, and hitting the Holy Emblem Knights head-on.

Bang, bang, bang...

Dull sounds continued incessantly. Every Holy Emblem Knight was wrapped in a layer of golden light film. After the split crossbow bolts hit them, they were bounced off by this resilient pale golden light film.

Tuert looked at the city wall ahead. He had long anticipated this kind of change. The Duoyin side could no longer control the spells on the Winter City wall, but Duoyin had another trump card.

Tuert took an amber from his bosom. After crushing this amber, several black poisonous bees flew out and headed straight for the city wall ahead.

These black poisonous bees turned into afterimages and all crashed into the front of the city wall. After their bodies shattered, they turned into puddles of black liquid the size of fists, gradually sinking into the ice layer on the surface of the city wall.

This black color spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually spreading to the entire city wall. The ice on it shattered with a rumble and fell downward.

Duoyin knew too much about spells. What outsiders didn't know was that Duoyin had mastered the method of forcibly destroying spells many years ago.

From this point, one could see how great Duoyin's ambition was. They set up spells for other parties at low prices. To reinforce the city wall's defense, one could only find Duoyin; other parties simply did not have this technology, at least not on the surface.

The spells of Winter City were instantly destroyed. The garrison on the city wall was somewhat panicked, and only under the roars of several Northern Territory officers did they barely stabilize the morale of the army.

A 500-man Holy Emblem cavalry team formed a charge squad and headed straight for the city gate. The flames burning all over their bodies began to become blinding.

Thump!

The entire city wall trembled. Not-so-obvious cracks appeared on the thick metal city gate, and most of it was burned red. Around it were the shattered corpses of hundreds of Holy Emblem Knights, their broken bodies like pieces of wood about to be burned out.

"Continue."

Tuert's eyes were bloodshot, and he gave the order to charge again. A tragic siege battle began.

Giant fireballs flew across, and metal crossbow bolts carried wailing sounds, shooting and killing Holy Emblem Knights one after another. The battle situation was temporarily deadlocked. Even without the defense of spells, the city wall of Winter City remained hard.

After more than half an hour of chaotic fighting, sky-high shouts of killing came from the rear. It was the enemy's large army coming to reinforce. The city wall had not yet been destroyed, so now was not the time for a decisive battle.

The wolf cavalry were ready for battle. The Holy Emblem Knights in the front were attacking the city, and the enemy's large army coming to reinforce from the rear needed to be blocked by the wolf cavalry legion.

Groups of wolf cavalry blocked the enemy's large army in the rear. For a time, the battlefield in front of Winter City became exceptionally chaotic.

This chaotic and fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and a loud noise completely changed the battle situation.

On the front city wall of Winter City, rubble splashed like scattered flowers. A hole about 30 meters wide appeared at the bottom of the city wall, and on the other side of the hole were Ice-Born warriors holding large shields.

"Kill."

Legion Commander Tuert, bathed in blood, gave an order and led the Holy Emblem Knights to kill their way into the city.

20 minutes later, two twisted metal city gates were pushed open from the inside, and the Holy Emblem Knights filed in.

At the same time, on the city wall, a flame long sword killed enemy soldiers one after another. When Tuert killed the last Ice-Born warrior on the city wall, he looked at the large row of giant ballistae at the front of the city wall, and a smile appeared on his face.

Winter City had basically been captured by Tuert. Now, he only needed to clear out the garrison in the city, and the combat power of the garrison was not worth mentioning compared to the Holy Emblem and the wolf cavalry.

"Oufu, pass the order down, let the knights take over these ballistae. After all the knights outside the city enter the city, immediately launch a surprise attack on the wolf cavalry legion. No, first shoot down that black dragon in the sky."

After Tuert said this, he felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. In the end, he had won.

"Give Kukulyn Bai Ye a decent death. After shooting his dragon, leave him a whole corpse. Even if he is an enemy, he is worthy of respect."

As Tuert spoke, he walked toward the bottom of the city wall. He wanted to continue commanding the Holy Emblem Knights below, but just at this moment, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something in the sky.

Tuert looked up. In the sky full of dark clouds, he saw a blue-white light flickering.
