Chapter 1230: The Last Moment
Chapter 1230: The Last Moment
Night fell.
The Blue Glory Empire’s Capital Fansidian did not have the tranquility of nightfall at all. The sky above was brightly lit. Various dazzling lights shone from time to time amidst the explosions.
The battle to the west of the capital had reached a climax. They were fighting desperately in the sky and the ground.
The ground in front of the city wall was filled with holes, and high-temperature blood red permeated many places. These lava-like blood reds were all formed by the corpses of the Abyss monsters being dissolved.
There were still many corpses that had not dissolved. The arrows and bullets from the top of the city were pouring down like rain, constantly stopping the approaching gap demons and berserk demons. Even so, the torrent of the Abyss was still advancing. Many monsters close to the city wall had already begun to climb.
The defending soldiers gradually suffered casualties. Most of which were injured by the bone spurs fired by the berserk demon during the attack. Each berserk demon had 6 bone spurs. Although one unit could only be fired 6 times at most, due to the amazing number of units and the intensive attack, even the large shield warriors of the hobbits couldn’t cover everything.
There were more and more Abyss monsters near the city wall. From a distance, the blood-red sea was constantly beating against the city wall, and the ‘waves’ were layer upon layer, quickly approaching the top of the city wall.
Sandro didn’t panic as he gave orders to the First Coalition Legion Magician. The elf magicians walked up to the top of the city neatly, ignoring the monsters who were close at hand. They didn’t dodge the bone spurs flying all over the sky, and they quickly activated the magic that had been charging for a long time.
The hobbit warrior’s shield next to an elf magician was half a beat slower, and the elf’s thin body was pierced through by the bone spur and fell to the ground, dead. 2 other elves were attacked and fell down the city wall, then they were instantly swarmed by the monster crowd. Nevertheless, the rest of the elves fearlessly cast the magic under the command of Sandro.
[Gravity]!
For a while, all the monsters under and in front of the city slowed down, and the monsters that were climbing the city wall with high overlapping fell down, but this was not the real purpose of [Gravity].
The catapults at the rear fire simultaneously. They had already adjusted their angles and distances. At the same time, the magic crystal cannons, which had been cooling down for a long time, were launched.
The boulders launched by the catapults were not ignited as before, but they were bundled with special magic bombs. These bombs were produced by the Magician City, and some of the bombs were also crafted by the elves. There was no lead wire or complicated magic trigger switch, but it was activated by some kind of firing pin, which could cause a powerful explosion under severe impact. When Chen Rui was traveling in Jaqda, he was amazed when he saw this bomb. It was very similar to the aerial bomb he knew in his previous life.
Attracted by gravity, the explosive bomb thrown by the catapult accurately landed on the Abyss army in front. Boom Boom Boom Boom… The entire ground of the capital shook violently.
The stacked successive explosions of the bombs were far greater than that of a single one. There were large blanks in the monsters that were originally dense like a tide. The magic crystal cannons aimed at the monsters at close range under the city wall. The white light shone, illuminating the night sky like the sun. The blood-red torrent of the Abyss was turned into nothingness.
At this time, the bows and the magic rifles would also be affected by the double gravity. The defending soldiers on the city wall stopped attacking and hid in bunkers. The hobbit warriors formed a shield formation to protect the shooters from the explosions.
The effect of this tactic was quite obvious. The original endless blood red sea in front of the city wall turned into a large vacuum. The Abyss monsters suffered a huge loss this time, but Sandro wasn’t relieved at all.
The capital defending soldiers had been holding to the city wall. With the cooperation of various tactics, they had brought huge casualties to the Abyss at a very small price. If it was an ordinary battle, it would undoubtedly be a brilliant victory. However, this was no ordinary battle. What they were facing now was not ordinary enemies, but almost endless monsters without fear.
Although they were in the advantageous situation, the overall number of the Abyss army had not decreased significantly. In contrast, after such a fierce battle, the physical strength and energy of their own side were declining rapidly, especially the magic power of the magicians. Even if Sandro deliberately arranged the rotation to rest, they couldn’t keep up with the speed of consumption.
If we continue to fight like this, I’m afraid…
The effect of [Gravity] was ending soon. Sandro took a deep breath. He didn’t think about it any more as he raised his long sword and commanded, “Catapults, readjust the angle. The second magician legion, prepare the magic! Holy Sanctuary warriors, clear the enemies in the air that is close to the capital!”
In the sky, the number of people participating in the battle was much smaller than that on the ground, but the momentum was far above the ground.
The most conspicuous thing was the crisscrossing flames. These flames were like ropes lingering in the air. These ‘ropes’ were left by the mutated elite blazing flame witch. It had killed many griffon riders.
The strength of ordinary blazing flame witches was generally at the Demon Emperor level, and a small number of mutated ones could reach the Demon Overlord level. This blazing flame witch was elite among mutated ones. It had already kingdomized and had a special flame talent. While casting the talent, it could leave a fire trail wherever it passed. Many griffons had no time to change direction and directly hit the fire trail, turning into a firebird. The knights behind them fell from the air.
The griffon rider legion was lost by more than half, but they managed to draw most of the enemy’s power in the sky, keeping them away from the friendly forces on the ground.
The mutated elite blazing flame witch who was killing the griffon riders suddenly turned around and whipped behind, entangling a rapier stabbed from behind. The rapier was held in the hand of a male elf, who was the elf tribe’s super powerhouse Pulos.
The blazing flame witch yelled, and the flames of the long whip exploded. The rapier in Pulos’ hand turned red under the high temperature. His strength was originally on par with the blazing flame witch, but since he was good at fire element power, his damage to ward the blazing flame witch was greatly reduced, putting him in a disadvantageous situation. If it weren’t for the griffon riders constantly interfering the blazing flame witch with javelins, Pulos would have been seriously injured if not dead.
Looking at Pulos who was struggling, the blazing flame witch showed a sinister smile. Suddenly, the smile froze on her face. She was frozen into an ice cube instantly and fell from the air.
Pulos had quite a lot of fighting experience. He flickered and intercepted the falling ice cube, then he channeled all kingdom power in his fist and launched it. The blazing flame witch, which was frozen into ice, was instantly shattered apart.
“Kelsa, thank you. If you came later, my soul would have gone to see the Moonlight Goddess.” Pulos looked at the old friend who appeared in front of him and said with emotion, Kelsa’s strength was at the peak stage of the Kingdom level, which was 2 small realms higher than him, but judging from Kelsa’s wounds all over her body, the battle she experienced was even more dangerous.
“Take care of the Holy Sanctuary warriors and the griffon riders.” Kelsa gasped, “I’ll go to Madam Dursa and see if I can help.”
Dursa was the only remaining Demi-God elder of the elf tribe, and 1 of the controllers of the Magician Tower Group. This time, she came to Fansidian to protect Princess Royal Philly. Empress Liv was Dursa’s niece and her apprentice. The destruction of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital made Dursa inexplicably angry. If it wasn’t for Sandro and Philly’s dissuasion, she would have barged into the Abyss army alone.
The power of the Demi-God powerhouse was unquestionable. Sandro kept Dursa just in case. He didn’t want her to waste power prematurely. In fact, this consideration was correct.
After eliminating the vanguard of the Abyss army, 2 terrifying elite Abyss lords appeared, both of which had reached the Demi-God level. If Dursa hadn’t stopped them, the city wall would have been breached.
Dursa’s original intention was to pull the battlefield of the Demi-God level contest into the Abyss army so that she could use the aftermath of the battle to destroy the army. Unlike ordinary trainers, the Abyss lords did not have a kingdom or territory, but their power was purer. The combat power of these 2 elite Abyss lords was far superior to that of an ordinary Demi-God. Under their joint attacks, Dursa was actually at a disadvantage. Moreover, even Dursa was secretly frightened by the pressure from the Abyss army. If she rushed into the Abyss army rashly, she might be swallowed by endless waves. Similarly, this battlefield could not be drawn to the capital side, so Dursa gave full play to the magician’s kite-flying tactic, leading the 2 Abyss lords into the air, launching the kingdom, and trapping the 2 enemies in the guerilla. Once Kelsa finally joined in, the pressure on Dursa finally eased a little. The stalemate could basically be maintained.
The intense fighting continued until dawn.
Many cracks had appeared on the blood-stained city wall, and the ground below the city was covered with steaming lava.
The fighting that night was mostly maintained at the highest intensity. No one knew how many Abyss creatures were killed and how many times the enemy’s attacks were defeated.
Even with the geographical advantage and the combination of various tactics, 1/3 of the defending soldiers were still killed. It could be seen that the battle was brutal. The surviving people were already in a state of extreme fatigue physically and mentally. They just executed the commands mechanically and held on with the last breath of courage.
They were like a tense bow that would break at any time.
The battle in the sky was also continuing, but the number of people on the side of the Blue Glory Empire was getting smaller and smaller.
What was terrifying was that the Abyss army was still not at all tired. The number still seemed to be endless, which made the defending soldiers feel desperate.
“Your Majesty Landbis is here!”
The full-armor Empress Landbis appeared in front of everyone with the imperial guards.
“I will fight side by side with you. Live and die together!”
A simple sentence from Landbis boosted the already low morale again. Her Majesty Empress did not run away like those noble families, but she stays and fights to the death!
“Fight to the death! Fight to the death!” The soldiers raised their weapons one after another.
Sandro and other generals knew that this was just drinking poison to quench their thirst. Their own strength had almost bottomed out, and the Abyss army was still unfathomable.
What’s even more terrifying was that a considerable part of the Abyss’ troops had bypassed the west gate of the capital, turned over the mountains and rivers that were originally natural barriers, and began to attack the remaining 3 gates with weak forces. It could be seen that the Abyss creatures not only possess powerful combat power and fierceness without fear of death, but they also possess considerable wisdom.
Landbis took a look at Princess Philly. The elf royal princess’ charming face was covered in blood. Some of the blood was from her companions and some was her own, but compared with the previous arrogance, she was a little more mature and stable. Princess Philly knew what Landbis wanted to say. She looked at her injured companions and shook her head slightly. Landbis took a deep breath and nodded.
A large number of blazing flame witches flew from the sky, and the torrent of monsters on the ground swept over again. A new wave of attack began, with a momentum even stronger than before.
“It is likely to be the final battle.” Many people said in their minds, clenching their weapons.
