280 The Light-Types And Their New Attacks
They had to get rid of these Light-Type creatures and their Lord.
“We don’t need to be lenient. They attacked first. This Lord’s territory is in the middle. It is better if we can eliminate them and clear the way.” Su Wan and Xu Yuan had fought together for so long. She had begun to understand that the strong preyed on the weak. That was the rule of the world.
“Let’s go all out!” Shi Linglong gritted her teeth.
They just needed to wait till Xu Yuan arrived. If they could hold out till then, he would definitely help them. The success and failure of the four Lords depended on him now.
“Everyone, take care of your troops! Protect yourselves and try to reduce the casualties. We need to hold our ground till Xu Yuan arrives,” said Su Wan. If she had known that there were such strong Light-Types here, she wouldn’t have rushed over alone.
Without Xu Yuan by their side, they wouldn’t be able to resurrect the troops or themselves if they died here.
Su Wan stood at the back in a relatively safe place. As a temporarily chosen leader, she needed to be able to see the progress of the fight and issue orders from a safe place.
The sound of a horn rang out from the Dimensional Portal. The war had begun!
“Archers, get ready!” Shi Linglong ordered.
The soldiers stationed on the city wall pulled their longbows. The sound of the bowstrings being pulled tight was audible.
Countless mechanical troops entered from the Dimensional Portal. The mechanical troops were masterpieces of the dwarves, who were exemplary in building such things. The weapons and blades on the body of these mechanical troops looked intimidating.
“Attack!”
The archers fired. The volley of arrows arched through the sky toward the Dimensional Portal. For a moment, the arrows covered the whole sky like a curtain. Then, they descended on the mechanical troops.
Even though the mechanical troops’ bodies were made of metal, the arrows pierced through them.
However, the arrows were barely enough to hold them back as more and more mechanical puppets arrived through the Dimensional Portal.
The ground was littered with metal bodies. Numerous mechanical troops appeared to replace them. Behind them, human warriors appeared as well.
The corpses of the mechanical troops that were piled up at the front provided ample cover for the human troops which just arrived. Their archers fired their arrows to counter the incoming volley of arrows.
Meanwhile, the human warriors advanced toward the bottom of the territory wall. The walls were high enough to make sure ordinary people or troops couldn’t climb through. However, warriors were a different story. They were trained for something like this.
The fully armed human warriors leaped up and stabbed their long blades into the walls. They pulled themselves up the wall.
Shi Linglong’s archers were busy firing a volley of arrows to stop more troops from entering through the Dimensional Portal. Only the troops that were near the wall could pose the enemies a threat.
Despite their efforts, the front of the walls was crawling with enemy warriors. There were just too many of them. They couldn’t kill them all!
Just when they thought the enemy would succeed, a volley of fire arrows rained down. The enemy warriors weren’t prepared. Although their armors were strong and covered them almost entirely, the few uncovered areas were vulnerable. Blood sputtered when they were pierced. There was the smell of burning flesh.
The Night Flame Archers that Su Wan had brought along with her did their job perfectly. A notification appeared in Su Wan’s mind.
[You have leveled up!]
Her aura reached its peak. Every time she leveled up, her attributes increased, and she felt a surge of power within her body. The benefits of each upgrade were not to be underestimated.
As a person who was under contract with Xu Yuan, Su Wan received better benefits than most. She took a deep breath as she felt the immense power flow through her body.
She had finally leveled up!
The enemy troops kept advancing. The number of archers on the enemy side gradually increased and attacked their archers.
“Mages, attack with magic fire!” shouted Lin Yao.
The mage army that Lin Yao had brought along with her began chanting. Fireballs wheezed past and fell from the sky onto the enemy troops. The temperature suddenly increased. The enemy archers were engulfed by flames.
Of course, the fight wouldn’t end so easily. The enemy offense strategy began to get more aggressive.
More archers, mechanical troops, priests, and creatures of light poured in from the Dimensional Portal to replace the fallen human warriors.
The combat ability of a mixed army was always more powerful and confusing to deal with than facing just one type of troop.
The deadly arrows weakened as the priests’ healing and courage spells encased the enemy troops.
The mechanical troops constructed siege ladders at a rapid speed. Half an hour later, the siege ladders were completed. The enemies charged up the city wall easily.
Su Wan ordered the archers on the wall to retreat a little further so they could form a new line of attack. At the same time, she urged Lin Yao to order the mages to produce more fireballs to destroy the enemies and their siege ladders.
However, maintaining and repairing the walls of the territory required too much energy and resources. Shi Linglong couldn’t do two things at once. She focused on keeping the walls upright.
They did not have the confidence that they could win this fight. Shi Linglong had to rely on Su Wan’s troops if she wanted to survive.
“Blazing Flame Axe Break!”
Other than the Night Flame Archers, they still had the Heavy Blade Warriors and the Battleaxe Warriors that they could send outside to fight.
The Battleaxe Warrior threw their battleaxes at the enemy troops from the walls. The battleaxes crushed the enemy and erupted in flames, covering a diameter of about 10 meters.
