Prince William's army finally arrived at the walls of Konola City.
With a resounding clang of their armor, the entire army came to an abrupt halt in unison. A narrow path was cleared through the middle of the troops. A tall man, clad in top-notch enchanted armor, stepped forward. He dragged a heavy, dark red Warhammer behind him, which is so weighty that it etched a deep groove into the hard ground, There were many crisscrossing scars on the tall man's bald head, and one long scar extended from his forehead to his chin. Along with his big mouth and row of yellow teeth, He looked incredibly menacing. He also deliberately released his entire aura, which was clearly of an official level powerhouse.
The tall man had several crisscrossing scars on his bald head, and a long scar ran from his forehead down to his chin. Along with with his wide mouth and a set of yellowed teeth, He looked incredibly menacing. He also purposefully released his entire aura, unmistakably that of an official-level powerhouse.
"Everyone inside, surrender immediately, and if this uncle is in a good mood, I will let you have a painless death. Hummm! Otherwise, this uncle will smash every single brick of this half-broken city into powder."
After the tall man, who seemed like the leader of this army, finished his speech. He raised his War-hammer and violently slammed it onto the ground. A large amount of dust was smashed out; some dirt directly landed onto the wall of Konola. When the dust and sand finally dissipated with the wind, there was a half-meter deep pit out on the ground, where the tall man smashed his War-hammer.
As Punk observed the frightened and quivering regular soldiers beside him, his optimism for the victory of Konola City's defenders diminished even further. Setting aside the enemy's superior equipment and greater numbers, these defenders were already defeated psychologically even before the war began.
Except for having the benefit of being a defender inside a city wall, the current Konola City is undoubtedly in a very disadvantageous situation.
"Moreover, this enemy general, he resembles more of a bandit leader than a military commander. Trying to convince them to surrender? Didn't he know that if he didn't give the people a way out, that would only turn them into lawless individuals? Or maybe......He is just extremely confident, and he didn't even want them to surrender. Killing all the people in the city is his main purpose. One should know that In the Pheren Plane, morality and justice only existed in the stories, and sometimes even massacring cities to vent anger was common in wars."
"This situation is not looking too optimistic. It will be best if I leave this place as soon as I get a chance." Punk secretly thought in his heart and increased his vigilance.
Naturally, the tall man's nonsense attempts at persuasion did not succeed. The soldiers and the professionals on the city wall didn't respond except for a firmer look on their faces. Everyone held the weapons in their hands tightly and was ready to fight at any time.
When the tall man saw this, instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter.
A scarlet battle qi emanated from his body and attached to the armour on his body with mysterious runes. The silver armor instantly turned red and started to exude high temperature. Finally, the red flame-like battle qi overflowed from his hand and flowed into the Warhammer. The Warhammer also quickly turned into a crimson red and exuded a strong suffocating aura after the battle qi's infusion.
"Haaaaaah."
The tall man suddenly yelled. His shout made Punk's ear buzz. A scarlet ring of battle qi exploded under the tall man's feet. At the same time, a crimson shield crafted from battle energy materialized in front of his body as he swiftly charged toward the city gate. He moved with such incredible speed that his form transformed into a streak of red light, generating loud sonic booms in the air.
"Not good. This guy wants to break the city gate."
Punk immediately knew what the tall man wanted to do. The previously high-profile provocations and halfhearted persuasion to surrender were all for this unexpected move. Breaking through the city gate meant that Konola City would lose its final and only advantage, resulting in a swift defeat. But, how could Mage McNeesey, who was standing next to the city gate at this moment, let him succeed so easily?
Punk saw that Mage McNeesey pointed at the ground in front of the city gate with his thin and long emerald green staff, and with cracking sound, dozens of sturdy vines, which were more than five meters tall and covered with faint green light, burst out from the ground.
The intertwined vines not only halted the tall man's advance but also rapidly expanded to a width of over ten meters, effectively blocking the path to the city gate temporarily.
The tall man shouted and hit the vines with his full speed. A large number of green vines were torn apart by the red hot battle qi shield, but simultaneously more vines took their places and tried to strangle the tall man, who had now lost his protection.
However, the tall man, aware that he couldn't break the city gate in a single attempt,thus decided not to continue advancing. he leaped backward with surprising agility, defying his huge figure and easily evading the vines' grasp.
At this time, Mage McNeesey already released a second spell. A dark green ball with a frighteningly strong aura flew toward the tall man's head. Its timing was perfectly calculated. The spell arrived near the tall man, just when he jumped back from the vines and was still midair. The tall man had just used two fighting skills one after another, and he couldn't even dodge midair.
Even after noticing that McNeesey's attack was about to hit him, The tall man had no anxious expression on his face. Suddenly he roared and fiercely hit the dark green ball with his Warhammer. Punk clearly observed it. The small ball's spell structure containing explosive magical power was crushed by the tall man's battle qi. The remnants of the spell were merely scattered onto the Warhammer. The originally mighty official-level spells could not cause any damage to another official-level powerhouse.
The initially solid dark green ball shattered, and turned into liquid and splashed on the ground, corroding the solid ground into deep pitch-black holes.
After that, the tall man turned around in the air and landed easily on the ground. Mage McNeesey did not attack again. The two official-level powerhouses looked at each other for a while! Although the battle just now was complicated and thrilling, it was just a few seconds long. Those who were not strong enough could only see a few red and green flashes in midair. Only the professionals at the trainee level could see the exciting and terrifying confrontation that just happened.
"McNeesey, I can see you've been making some effort, but your improvements are far worse than mine. It is not too late to leave this muddy water. I will advise you to stay away from that willful princess, and if I am in a good mood, I will treat it as if I didn't see you!"
The big man put the Warhammer on his shoulders and shouted on top of his lungs to admonished Mage McNeesey.
but you're still not worth the dirt on my boots. It's too late for regrets now. Find a hole and bury yourself. Maybe I'll leave some flowers for you when I'm feeling charitable."
"Lunka, In the long time that I didn't see you, you have improved a lot, but you're still not worth the dirt on my boots. It's too late for regrets now. Hurry up and find a pit and bury yourself. I will leave some flowers for you when I am in a good mood." Mage McNeesey used a sombre tone that contained a hint of mocking to advise the tall man.
"In that case, there is nothing to say."
Lunka, who had been bohemian since his appearance, now had a gloomy expression. He turned around and, step by step, walked back inside the army, and sat on the high platform which was for the army commander. And after Looking at a knight beside him, he waved his hand gently and said-
"Start the siege~"
With a seemingly random wave of army commander Lunka's hand, the sound of trumpets and a magically amplified call for the siege spread across the field!
From behind the army, professionals carrying ladders rushed towards the wall at a faster speed than ordinary soldiers. The dense rain of arrows shot from the wall could not penetrate their skin covered with battle qi, but soon after the rain of arrows, devastating spells descended from the sky.
...
The sky was ablaze with spells, and clusters of battle energy erupted on the ground. Amidst the screams of dying soldiers and the clanging sound of colliding weapons, a magnificent battle started!
