Chapter 445: Chapter 238: A Different City Wall! (5/5)_3
WHIZZ! WHIZZ!
Arrows flew like a swarm of locusts, their sharp points drawing arcs as they pierced the dust-filled air, rushing towards the fortress walls with relentless speed.
The fortress walls, already significantly damaged by a round of bombardment from Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters, were now shaking even more violently under the assault of three million Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters. The sounds of their collapse echoed constantly.
Simultaneously, a barrage of Energy Bullets, each unleashed by a Skeleton Monster’s Magic Wand, flew towards the fortress walls. As soon as these Energy Bullets touched the fortress walls, they instantly exploded. The aftershocks of the explosions reduced the fortress walls to fragments.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!”
In the face of this sudden, overwhelming assault, the fortress plunged into chaos. Archers fired relentlessly, and Mages continuously cast Spells, attempting to halt the attack.
Struck repeatedly, pieces of iron from the walls were blasted into shrapnel that flew everywhere, while the battlements were shattered by the relentless shower of arrows.
Under the terrifying assault of the Skeleton Monsters, the fortress had begun to teeter, yet it held steady, stalwartly resisting the relentless onslaught.
This resilience was entirely due to Spirit Iron, a special mineral that allowed the Mages within the fortress to use their Mana to reinforce the structure; otherwise, the fortress would have collapsed long ago.
But this was merely a futile delay.
Amidst the storm-like bombardment, the arrows and Energy Bullets of the Skeleton Monsters fell densely upon the fortress walls like a torrential downpour.
Although the walls were incredibly sturdy, they now looked as if they had been battered a thousand times over. Countless breaches were blasted open, sending iron fragments and brick shards flying everywhere.
However, it had to be said that these soldiers of the Empire were incredibly loyal.
No one really knew what was so great about this Empire that made it worth defending.
Even under the heavy barrage of arrows and Energy Bullets, the guards on the fortress walls were still resisting desperately.
Fiery walls erupted one after another on the battlements, nullifying a large number of the attacking arrows and Energy Bullets.
As they countered the Skeleton Monsters’ assault with their own, the sound of explosions thundered to the heavens, and clouds of dust and smoke rose everywhere.
Flame and smoke cloaked the sky above the fortress walls, momentarily obscuring the situation on the battlements. Chen Mo, at this moment, couldn’t be bothered with those soldiers; he now had only one objective: destroy the fortress!
No matter how the enemy resisted, this was the only order he gave the Skeleton Monsters.
With the frenzied assault carried out by the Skeleton Monsters, the fortress walls were already on the verge of collapse.
Despite the dire situation, the guards on the fortress walls had not retreated. They continued to resist with all their might, retaliating with arrows and Spells, effectively eliminating one Mirror Image Skeleton Monster with each hit.
But there were three million Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters!
Against such a massive Skeleton Legion, they were still far too weak.
With the commotion growing to such an extent, the two Generals within the fortress had, of course, already received news. They rushed directly to the top of the fortress walls to behold the sea of over a million Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters materializing outside.
Watching countless Skeleton Monsters furiously pounding the fortress, both their faces turned grave.
“Dammit! Where did all these Skeleton Monsters come from? And why are they so powerful? Aren’t Skeleton Monsters supposed to be the weakest of the Undead Creatures?” Serreya watched the million-strong army of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters in disbelief.
Baroque, his face equally stern, replied, “This isn’t the time to question that. If we don’t act now, the fortress will fall!”
As a Mage, Baroque possessed formidable area-of-effect attack abilities.
With a swing of his Magic Wand, a ripple of Magic Power appeared before him, and a water-blue magic array instantly materialized in front of him. The next moment, a massive number of giant Ice Cones burst forth from within this array.
“Go!”
With a point of Baroque’s Magic Wand at the array, the giant Ice Cones instantly flew towards the army of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters, letting out a piercing shriek as they tore through the air.
Simultaneously, Baroque activated another magic array. With a point of his Magic Wand, a large number of Fireballs, each as big as a human head, burst forth and struck towards the army of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As his giant Fireballs and Ice Cones landed, they instantly exploded into spheres of Flame and frost Energy, annihilating a huge number of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters in their vicinity.
The area his Spells covered was extremely wide, destroying thousands of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters with a single cast.
Watching Baroque’s relentless assaults, Serreya wasn’t about to be outdone. Holding a great sword, she stood on the fortress walls, confronting the horde of Skeleton Monsters.
With a sudden twist of her body, she swung her great sword heavily through the air. A powerful energy ripple burst from her great sword, cutting through the air like a gigantic blade as it headed straight towards the Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters.
In an instant, a large swathe of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters were cleaved apart as if a path was being carved through them. Split in two, they dissipated into thin air.
Not satisfied with just one blow, Serreya continuously waved her great sword, frantically sending out a succession of powerful energy waves towards the army of Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters, obliterating even more of them.
They’re pretty tough, really asking for it. I was planning to bring down the fortress walls first and deal with them later, but since they’ve voluntarily moved to such conspicuous positions on the battlements, I’ll start with them!
The Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters died easily, but Chen Mo’s own Skeleton Monsters were not so easy to kill.
Not only were they not easy to kill, Serreya and Baroque couldn’t even see Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters, let alone inflict damage on them.
As Chen Mo locked onto Serreya and Baroque, the attack target of his three million Skeleton Monsters instantly shifted from the fortress walls to the two Generals.
Concentrated volleys, one of one million five hundred thousand arrows and another of one million five hundred thousand Energy Bullets, flew silently towards Serreya and Baroque, each General targeted individually.
At this point, the two of them were still obliviously showcasing their powers, clearing out the Mirror Image Skeleton Monsters summoned by Alina.
In the blink of an eye, the expressions of both Generals turned to utter shock.
The next moment, they both exploded into pieces, killed instantly by the overwhelming wave of attacks!
This scene was so shocking that the Imperial Army, still desperately resisting on the fortress, were all left stupefied where they stood!
Their most revered Generals had suddenly and inexplicably exploded and died. This spectacle was far more shocking than the fortress being breached!
