Chapter 306 Climb the City!

Many thanks to Qidian Daddy [book friend has cancelled his account] for the 100 reward!

……

The wind coming from the city wall had long since died down, but the cries had not ceased.

The trumpets of advance, the stirring drums of war, and the roar of battle intertwined with the sound of swords clashing constitute the most basic harmony.

In the sky, the Wind King's troops are still hovering, ready to swoop down again at any time. The shadows cast by their wings will become a long-lasting nightmare for many soldiers defending the city.

The catapults gave up attacking the city walls and raised their angles. Stones of various colors flew over the walls and created clouds of dust in the city.

Amid the loud bang, stones flew, wood splashed, and houses collapsed, as if an earthquake had erupted.

Many soldiers defending the city were smashed into pieces before they even saw the enemy, and the smoke and dust turned blood red.

On the ground, the Eagle Army's vanguard finally put up ladders on the top of the city wall, and the black heavily armored soldiers climbed up like a school of carp swimming upstream.

The defenders continued to surge upwards from the city walls, trying to break up the counter-currents.

Following Wanda's orders, Linden led a team of soldiers to the city wall.

These soldiers were equipped with uniform enchanted plate armor, and their pointed helmets had fluttering red tassels. The enchanted patterns on them constantly breathed light, complementing the various weapons at their hands.

There are 13 of them in total. They are Count Wanda's personal guards, and they are the elite troops trained by him. The lowest one is a first-level transcendent, and everyone's hands are stained with blood.

Linden once led them to kill a group of 2000 horse bandits.

Take the enemy general’s head from among the thousands of troops!

And today, Linden believes that they will once again create brilliant results:

"Raven thought that he could take over the Wall of Sighs like this? He is just dreaming!"

"Follow me and send them back to where they came from!"

"Then grab Raven and make him give my ass a good kiss!"

Linden swung the sledgehammer, strode forward, kicked a corpse away, and smashed the hyena that had just landed with the hammer!
It was a sledgehammer with a strange shape. The handle was only as thick as an ordinary gun handle, but the hammer head was as big as a wine barrel, with clear edges and corners around it, and the hammer surface was as smooth as a mirror.

Silver-colored fighting spirit wrapped around the giant hammer, bringing with it a whistling sound, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on it!
Suddenly, a shield appeared in the path of the giant hammer.

when--

The steel and steel intertwined, creating a sound like a landslide.

The ordinary soldiers around were deafened by the huge shock and lost their balance and fell to the ground. Even the first-level extraordinary soldiers turned pale and took several steps back. Only the second-level extraordinary soldiers could barely stand firm!
The escaping iron fighting spirit rushed in all directions, smashing the armored corpses on the ground into a bloody mess.

"Eric—"

Linden recognized the identity of the unexpected opponent.

Because Eric is so famous.

The champion of the competition, with his accumulated experience, leapt from level one to level three in just a few years.

But Eric did not answer him. He thrust his shield forward to deflect the hammer and shouted:

"Hyena, don't just stand there, go grab the crossbow!"

"Leave this guy to me!"

"This is what I want to say!" Linden took a deep breath, and the armor on his body proliferated and became denser, turning into a steel giant like Eric in the past. His muffled voice echoed:
"Fan, Heibo, each of you lead your men to spread out and take back the city wall."

"I'm going to cut off this Nord's head and use his skull as a bowl!"

The city wall was wide, and the personal soldiers looked at each other and immediately dispersed, leaving a large enough battlefield for the two men.

The hyena heard Eric's order and charged forward with the giant axe in hand. With his huge size and natural strength, he fully utilized the advantages of the giant axe.

Chopping left, slashing right, thrusting upward, slashing downward, the armored troops in the defending army could not stop the hyenas at all.

The axe flashed, and the sharp blade pierced into the flesh. All the defenders standing in front of him had their bones broken, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere with blood.

Then, the hyena saw a guy with a red tassel on his head blocking his way.

The man was not very tall, holding a teardrop-shaped kite shield in his hand, standing ready for battle, with light green life energy winding around his shield.

The moment their eyes met, the shield bearer raised his middle finger and hooked it at the hyena.

This man's name is Sai Feng, and he is a member of the Royal Guard Brigade.

He possesses life force and possesses a little-known combat skill - supercharged explosive charge.

Use other people's attacks to create a stronger counterattack.

Different from Eric's mirror shield, this fighting skill relies on fighting spirit to absorb the opponent's attacking force, thereby driving one's own fighting spirit to run rapidly in the body, erupting with enormous destructive power far beyond the limit!

Only a Life Knight who is physically stronger than a knight of the same rank can withstand the backlash of this combat technique.

"idiot!"

What made Sai Feng happy was that the guy opposite, who looked extremely powerful, was just like the stereotype of everyone as being big and brainless. He actually had no suspicion that he had any trap and was striding towards him.

This is good too, this guy is huge, if we cut off his head, it will be a good topic of conversation!

Dou Qi began to brew on the shield. Sai Feng saw the other party swinging the giant axe. The black axe blade was attached with germanium-yellow earth Dou Qi.

call--

when!
The giant axe landed on the surface of the kite shield. The steel shattered under the germanium-yellow axe blade, and wood chips exploded. The life force contained in it rolled back into the body as Sai Feng had expected.

Sai Feng smiled.

Yes, that’s the feeling, that’s the power!
But before he could make a move, he realized something was wrong.

Because the force coming from the shield was too great, extraordinary!
This force was absorbed by the life force on the shield and transformed into stronger pressure, rushing around in his body.

Sai Feng couldn't control this force, but he couldn't stop the fighting skills he had already started. The huge pressure almost burst him.

"stop……"

In a panic, he wanted to say stop, but after only one word came out of his mouth, the fighting spirit that was already difficult to control completely ran wild, bursting his muscles and tearing his blood vessels. The huge pressure squeezed his eyeballs onto the visor!

puff! ! !
He spurted out a mouthful of thick blood, and then accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing against each other, Sai Feng collapsed to the ground and died on the spot.

"What's wrong with this guy? Is his old illness relapsing?" The hyena looked at the dead enemy in front of him in confusion, and was a little bewildered for a moment.

He originally thought that he could satisfy his urge, but with one blow of the axe, he was gone.

This was all Sai Feng's fault for not knowing that Hyena was not only born with supernatural powers, but also awakened the heaviest earth fighting spirit. The most crucial thing was that he had a special physique and was only at the first level, but he was able to withstand Raven's three enhancements.

In terms of pure strength, ordinary second-level knights may not be a match for hyenas.

"Really boring."

After saying this, the hyena continued to look for its target.

The hyena that landed on the eastern section of the city wall had no rivals for a while, but Visdon who landed on the western side of the city wall was not so lucky.

At this time, Visdon had been forced into a dead end in order to seize a crossbow at the corner of the city wall, close to the mountain.

He was also a personal guard of Wanda with a red tassel on his head, and the blazing white flame burning on his body showed the fact that he was a second-level extraordinary person.

This person was the "Fan" that Linden had mentioned before.

After a fierce battle, Fan had already knocked down Visdon's sword.

Facing Visdon, he calmly raised the spear in his hand.

But before Fan could speak, Weisdong said:

"It's not too late to surrender now."

Fan couldn't believe his ears and laughed angrily: "What did you say? Let me surrender?"

"Raven's men are really crazy!"

The reason why he didn't kill Visdon was that he could see that Visdon was not wearing ordinary armor and must be wealthy, so he wanted to keep Visdon's life in exchange for a ransom. "I'm telling you, Fatty, I'm giving you a chance, understand? Surrender now, so I can save some energy and avoid damaging your armor."

"If you think I have no credibility, then you can go and ask about your uncle Fan's name."

As he spoke, he pointed to his own armor and said, "See? This armor is different from what others use. It has been enchanted. The enchantment alone cost 3000 gold coins!"

He weighed the spear in his hand again: "Look at this weapon again. Dwarven steel was added during forging. Including the enchantment, the total price is 1700 gold coins!"

"Do you think I, with my wealth, would cheat you?"

Weisdon sighed and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, so he put down the shield in his right hand, slowly took off the armor on his right hand, and then raised it up and pointed it at Fan.

At first, Fan thought that Visdon was going to surrender, because in order to take off his armor, he had to take off his hand armor first.

But he immediately felt something was wrong, because under the gauntlet, there was actually a dark blue metal arm.

It was also filled with an increasingly rich magical glow.

Thinking that something was not right, Fan raised his spear, burst out with fighting spirit, and rushed towards Weisdong.

His body was ablaze with flames, and the blazing white flames wrapped around his spear and his body. More flames flowed out and condensed into four balls of blazing white light on his shoulders!
The gun shot out like a snake, the flame spread out, and turned into a sharp blade forged by flames. Four balls of blazing white light flowed down from Fan's shoulders and rushed into the blade, making the blade suddenly lengthen!

The width of the wall almost covered the entire city wall, and the flames it brought up scorched the air, causing it to twist and burn. The bows and crossbows scattered on the ground instantly exploded and turned into charcoal.

However, just as the flaming blade was about to touch Visdon, a stream of dark green energy condensed and flew out from Visdon's palm.

Like a flash of light or the breath of a devil, the thick green torrent instantly tore through the sharp blade of fire, opened up a path in the raging fire, and then fell on Fan.

It was a sharp sound like the noisy sound of a flock of birds.

The sturdy spear became mottled and broken as if it had been eroded by time; the originally shining armor also became riddled with holes at this moment, and was dented like a thin biscuit!
The flames on Fan's body were extinguished instantly.

The whole person swayed on the spot, and then fell on his back.

Under the sunlight, one can see that a dense mass of light spots are reflected on his body. They are fine needles as thick as a hair.

Weisdon looked at him and raised his slightly twitching prosthetic limb:
"Wow, so awesome!?"

This was the first time he used the last mechanism in the prosthesis, and he didn't expect to kill a second-level extraordinary person in an instant.

Walking up to Fan's body, Weisdon spat in disdain: "3000 gold coins for armor and 1700 gold coins for weapons, is that impressive?"

"I have tens of thousands of gold coins on me."

"Poor guy!"

"Poor fellow, can't your baron afford to buy you armor?" At the other end of the battlefield, the second-level Yellow Sand Knight Black Amber said to Simon in front of him:
"You are a second-level knight, and you only wear leather armor?"

It's no wonder that Hei Amber has such prejudice, because although Simon is wrapped in light green fighting armor, he is only wearing black monster leather armor underneath.

Although it is engraved with runes, its value is far less than that of enchanted heavy armor. It is just slightly more expensive than ordinary heavy armor.

Hearing this, Simon silently wiped his sword on the corpse next to him.

"Tsk, he has a handsome face." Heibo looked at Simon's face and said, "It's a pity that he follows Raven."

"Otherwise, you surrender to me now and do it with me tonight."

"I will recommend you to Lord Wanda. Not only will I not punish you, but I will also make you a knight. How about that?"

Simon's face turned increasingly grim.

"Time waits for no one." Hei Bo shook his neck: "I will only give you three counts. If you still don't surrender after three counts, I will take action."

"I usually only like pink and tender little boys, but opportunities like this are rare."

"beauty!"

Hearing the word "beauty", Simon's mouth twitched suddenly, and his fighting spirit burst out, attacking Hei Amber like a ghost.

"You are overestimating your own abilities." Heibo's lips curled up slightly, and he kicked over two bags of sand that were originally prepared to put out the fire.

Driven by the fighting spirit, just as Simon's sword was about to reach him, a tortoise-shell-like shell of yellow sand stood up in front of him.

He had wanted to have some fun with Simon, but the seemingly thin sword pierced through the hard shell that was strong enough to resist the enchanted heavy armor, leaving a clear mark on his shoulder armor.

"How dare you hurt me!?"

Anger gathered between Heibo's brows. He waved his hand violently, and the yellow sand in front of him shot out like a pill shot out by a bowstring!

Simon was almost face to face with the yellow sand. At such a close distance, it seemed impossible for Hei Amber to dodge and he would definitely be scraped off a layer of skin.

What a pity for that handsome face.

Suddenly, Simon's figure changed direction strangely in mid-air, and he actually avoided the close attack with the help of the wind.

This is why Simon chose to wear leather armor.

His enchanted leather armor is not any stronger in defense than ordinary Warcraft leather armor. The runes on it have only one function, which is to make him more sensitive to the wind element and his movements faster!
Simon knows very well that everyone has their own shortcomings and he cannot be good at everything, so he chooses to enhance his speed to the extreme and maximize his strengths!
Simon dodged in mid-air, and with a trembling sword in his hand, he thrust it straight into Black Amber's throat.

Heipo's face darkened. Knowing that Simon was no ordinary opponent, he gave up the fantasy in his heart.

He reached his hand into his belt, his fighting spirit gushed out, and he crushed a second-level "Desert Treasure Mine". Gravel as fine as dust and as sharp as knives spread out instantly.

Driven by his fighting spirit, the dust pulled the yellow sand on the ground and turned into a hideous monkey face the size of a house, which pounced towards Simon.

The yellow sand rubs against each other with a sizzling sound, just like the roar of a monkey!
All of Simon's fighting spirit gathered on his left wrist and condensed into a ball of azure, flowing wind in his palm.

He stretched out his left hand, and the flowing light brushed across the blade, remaining on it like ointment!

The sword blade slowly moved forward, as if it was carrying a huge object weighing thousands of pounds. All the light rushed to the tip of the sword, and then pierced out violently!

It was a bit of green wind, like an extension of a sword's blade, or like a straight beam of light, piercing through the center of the yellow sand ape's eyebrows, and then falling into the black amber breastplate.

The ape face froze at this moment, and then collapsed into quicksand.

A violent gust of wind suddenly erupted from within the black amber breastplate, squeezing out blood and flesh from the wound on his chest and from the gaps in the armor!

But as if it was not enough, it was not enough. The storm actually blew up the hard armor from the inside like a balloon, making it expand, twist and deform, just like a broken iron pot!
The rest of the defenders looked at this scene, hesitated and dared not move forward, and could only retreat.

They don't want to die so tragically, at least they want to keep their bodies intact.

Since Black Amber was in this condition, if you wanted to collect the body, you could only scoop it up with a spoon.

"Oh my god, I've never seen Simon so angry. He's so ruthless." The Eagle Soldier who had just chopped down an enemy soldier nearby muttered.

"Don't let the enemy influence your mood on the battlefield." Simon glanced back and said, "Stop talking nonsense and keep attacking!"

After saying that, he strode forward, ready to help Otto who was in a tough battle.

I don't know if it was intentional, but when he passed by, he stepped on the head of Black Amber's transforming armor, and with a sound of bone breaking, he crushed it into a discus.

Meanwhile, the fight between Eric and Linden continued.

Both of them had iron fighting spirit and were at the third level, so they fought evenly for a while.

The city wall had become riddled with holes due to the fighting between the two men, like a piece of broken bread covered with honeycomb-like holes.

"As expected of the champion of the competition, you really have some skills." After another confrontation, Linden gasped and retracted the giant hammer.

The situation on the city wall was getting worse and worse. Although the defenders were still pouring in, they could not stop the Eagle Army from climbing up the city wall. Everywhere they looked, most of them were the black armor of the Eagle Army.

Feeling a little impatient and not wanting to continue fighting with Eric, Linden gathered all his fighting spirit and prepared to unleash his strongest fighting skills.

His temperament was like a mountain of swords. Although he was sure he could kill Eric, he didn't want to waste too much fighting spirit:
"Everyone serves his own master. I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you leave the city wall now, I can spare your life."

Eric said nothing, turned his head to look at the city below, and then suddenly threw the shield he had been holding for a long time to the ground.

Silver-colored fighting spirit surged, and from the gaps in Eric's armor, strands of fighting spirit entangled behind him and transformed into an armored phantom.

The weapons scattered on the ground and the armor on the corpses were buzzing and vibrating, and Linden was shocked to find that even his own fighting spirit was not functioning smoothly.

Clenching his fists, Eric whispered:
"It's almost time."
