The Emperor is Above

Chapter 503 A red cloud flew in the sky? (Fourth update)

"howl--"

The horrifying howls of ghosts continued to be heard from the army of ghost witches.

The phantoms in the rolling black clouds and the black ghosts hundreds of feet high put people under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, there was a faint light curtain above the city, preventing these hideous and terrifying ghosts from breaking in from mid-air.

For the city defender Tian Bin, chief clerk Beigong Yu, and city lieutenant Chai Yong who had been holding out on the city wall for three days, the bone demon that was more than ten feet tall was the most terrifying.

They are covered with densely packed Yin Warriors and serve as siege weapons. One only needs to rush to the side of the city wall to send up countless powerful Yin Warriors.

Fortunately, Kui Wendou can always manipulate the formation to fiercely attack these bone demons at the critical moment, and the city guards also have enough rune arrows and crystal bombs to repel the enemy.

After repelling the attacks of the Ghost Witch Tribe time and time again, Tian Bin was still extremely anxious: "Mr. Beigong, City Captain Chai Yong, the Ghost Witch Tribe has been besieging the city for the third day, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?
Yangwu City is a small city after all, and the rune arrows and crystal bombs in stock are limited. I'm worried that we won't be able to hold out for long if things continue like this."

At this point, Tian Bin looked around at the empty wilderness outside the city, and said with a hint of relief, "Fortunately, the people of the village outside the city have already migrated away.

Otherwise, even if we work hard to defend the city, the tens of thousands of people outside the city will be killed by the Ghost Witch Tribe, and the loss will be too heavy. "

Beigong Yu certainly understood where Tian Bin's anxiety came from. No one had expected that the attacking army of the Ghost Witch Tribe would be so powerful.

A thousand giant beast puppets, a thousand bone demon legions over ten feet tall, and two totem warriors of unknown strength and level made everyone breathless.

In addition, the main components of the Ghost Witch Army include 10,000 Yin Warrior Legions, 30,000 Corpse Puppets, and 10,000 Ghost Witch Wild People. The total number of the army is more than 50,000.

Over the past three days, Yangwu City relied on its powerful city defense formation, crystal bombs, and rune arrows to prevent the Ghost Witch Tribe from attacking the city walls, but this also consumed more than half of its weapons reserves.

However, the number of Bone Demons and Yin Warriors destroyed was limited, and nearly half of the corpse puppets were killed, but it did not help to change the situation of the battle.

Beigong Yu was also worried when facing such a powerful Ghost Witch Army. While worrying about the safety of the lord, he was also wondering why the reinforcements the lord had mentioned had not arrived yet.

But at the moment he had to suppress his emotions, forcing a smile to comfort him, "The city defenders don't have to worry, the Lord has promised that reinforcements will arrive within five days at the latest, and they will definitely arrive.

It has only been three days. With the formations set up by the Diqiu Mage Camp and the operations of Mr. Kui Wendou and his men, we will definitely be able to hold out for another two days."

"Mr. Beigong is right. It is more than 800 miles from Longcheng Fengtu to Yangwu City. It will take three or four days just to travel by car.

If a large army is marching, it must pay attention to maintaining its combat effectiveness. If it is only concerned with marching quickly, there will be the risk of the three armies losing their generals. Do not be careless.

Therefore, I think it is reasonable to arrive from Longcheng Fengtu in five days. I estimate that the reinforcements that the lord mentioned will definitely arrive tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow."

Chai Yong clenched the halberd in both hands and whispered in agreement with Beigong Yu's words. It was more like he was encouraging himself than comforting Tian Bin.

"Yes, yes, yes. With the formations arranged by Shaoqing and the Mage Battalion, and Mr. Kui Wendou in charge of the formation, we will definitely be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive."

Tian Bin's expression eased slightly, and he and Beigong Yu turned their eyes to Kui Wendou, the puppet masters, and the young imperial students. Looking at this group of old and young talisman masters and formation masters, and their busy figures, Tian Bin still hesitated in his heart, hoping to hold on!
However, before they finished speaking, they heard a student from the Imperial Academy panicking, "Sir, Sir, the Ghost Witch Tribe is constantly attacking us, and our crystals are being consumed too quickly. Our current reserves can only support us for a day and a night at most."

The words of the Imperial College student shocked everyone present. Even Kui Wendou frowned and asked, "Didn't we calculate it very clearly when we came here? How come there is such a severe shortage?"

“Mr. Kui Wendou, first of all, the formation set up by the Diqiu Mage Camp has extremely high requirements for crystals. In addition, the continuous attacks of the Ghost Witch Department also accelerate the consumption of crystals.

The biggest factor is obviously that we have ignored those phantoms and huge ghosts in the sky. Although they cannot rush in, they have been plundering the spiritual energy of the light shield. "

"Oh, why didn't you think of that?"

Whether it was Chai Yong, Beigong Yu or Kui Wendou, they were all filled with resentment, "We should have remembered this during the Battle of Yanze."

During the Battle of Yanze, the protective shield supported by the four dragon-claw locust tree spirits was bitten by countless ghosts and evil creatures, making the shield extremely dangerous at one point.

However, at that time, with the support of the rich spiritual energy of the entire God's Spirit Realm, the Wood Spirit managed to completely restore the shields of the four tree spirits.

At that time, Yang Hu and his group of imperial students were only concerned with the giant beast puppet, and Kui Wendou and his group of puppeteers were prisoners of war, so they actually overlooked this point, which has now become very fatal.

What was even more deadly was that the two Ghost King warriors were quick to notice the panic of the Imperial Student, and immediately a smug look appeared on their faces.

"Tai Xirui, Yangwu City can hold out for three days. The consumption of the entire formation must be huge. I vaguely heard a young man yelling that the crystal reserves are insufficient."

A Ghost King warrior said with a smug look on his face, "In that case, let's attack fiercely together. I estimate that this formation will be destroyed in a few hours at most."

"Haha, this is the best. I don't know what the battle situation is like over there. I'm also worried that if we delay too long, the old witch will reprimand us both later."

The two Ghost King warriors who are comparable to first-grade grandmasters are very terrifying even if they rely on brute force alone, not to mention that they also have the totem power bestowed by the Ghost King of the Styx.

"howl--"

Following a burst of heart-stirring howls, a two-hundred-foot-tall ghost king phantom appeared behind each of the two ghost king warriors, instantly making all living creatures within a radius of several thousand feet feel tremendous mental pressure.

As the two ghosts continued to attack the city defense formation, the faces of Kui Wendou and others became more and more embarrassed, and they tried their best to repair the damaged runes.

However, with two first-class grandmasters and countless phantoms and ghosts in the endless black clouds, the city defense formation was consumed at an increasingly rapid rate.

The light shield, which was not particularly bright to begin with, became increasingly dimmer as time passed. Instead, the rolling black clouds in the sky completely covered the entire sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

When he saw cracks appearing on the light shield, Kui Wendou said in despair, "Mr. Beigong, if the reinforcements haven't arrived yet, we can only survive for half an hour at most."

At this time, a young and strong militiaman from Yangwu City pointed to the north in surprise and shouted: "Is there a red cloud flying in the sky?"

Okay, I finally completed the task, my mind is a mess.
