Chapter 88: Night Battle

  McDonald's East Wall

  Due to the continuous attacks of the monsters, the eastern city wall can be said to have been breached in many places and is on the verge of collapse. Although people have repaired many loopholes, this makes one suspect the reliability of these repairs.

  It was late at night, and the main forces of the demon army had gone to rest, leaving only some nocturnal demons on guard. Those demons were puzzled as to why there were so many people on the city walls, but since no one came out of the city walls, they didn't notice anything unusual on the city walls.

  Fitz stood on the city wall, feeling the wind blowing in his face. Perhaps it was the height of the city wall that made the temperature drop, or perhaps it was the ghost of the dead making trouble, but Fitz felt a chill.

  Faye picked up her staff and whispered a low chant, the sound was not loud, but everyone on the city wall could hear it clearly. This voice seemed to have magic power, and the surrounding air rippled with waves.

  "Wooooo!" The vengeful spirits gradually took shape, and the surrounding soldiers were terrified to see them. Although they held weapons in their hands, this could not give them a sense of security. On the contrary, as the sound grew louder, their cold sweat poured down uncontrollably.

  Fayz stopped chanting as he watched the vengeful spirits multiply, and it was only then that they finally ceased to grow in number.

  Aegis gazed at the human-like vengeful spirits, and his eyes welled up with hot tears. He knew that these were the heroic spirits who had died in battle. Although he was extremely reluctant, for the sake of allowing more ordinary people to survive, he could only choose to silently watch.

  The snake head of the staff of Fazhifawang began to shine, and the surrounding vengeful spirits seemed to have been hurt, they madly howled, the whole sky's vengeful spirits were like being driven into a wolf pack, scattering and running wildly.

  Fayz began to chant again, but this time the sound was extremely piercing. The first and second-class civilians covered their ears and ran back to their rooms, while the soldiers were also struggling, but still managed to hold on.

  "Roar!" The demons discovered the abnormality of humans, although they didn't know what they were doing, but those remaining evil eyes commanded the demons to start a disorganized siege.

  Nocturnal cold-blooded magical beasts are representatives of speed and wit, although they do not have the physical strength to withstand human arrow storms like daytime active magical beasts, their agile bodies can still dodge many arrows.

  The soldiers, although unwilling to let Feiz continue that unbearable humming, felt that the black-robed mage was invulnerable due to Aegir's tacit consent, so they began to defend themselves.

  Night may indeed be the protective umbrella of monsters, and the bodies of cold-blooded monsters are generally very small, making it difficult to capture their tracks. The crossbow can be said to have completely lost its accuracy, and it can only fire in the direction of the dark shadows, as for how many it can hit, it depends on luck.

  In comparison, the seemingly weak arrow rain in the morning has almost caught up with the magic crystal cannon's record. The small body of the Cold-blooded Magic Beast can't withstand the powerful impact of the arrows.

  "Rooooaaaar!" The demons let out a deafening roar, they stopped their charge and instead crouched quietly just beyond the range of the arrow fire.

  The soldiers were puzzled and curiously looked at the monster to find something unusual.

  "Thud, thud, thud!" Footsteps echoed through the monster's camp.

  "It's here!" Some experienced adventurers knew their challenge had arrived.

  Puppet Clan! Known as the Puppet Clan that is immune to swords and guns, their heavy physique brings endless fear to their enemies, their thick legs turn any enemy who dares to obstruct them into minced meat, and their bodies immune to magic have become the nemesis of countless mages.

  Fortunately, there were only a hundred puppets this time, and the guardian army could still handle it.

  The guards still remember those seasoned adventurers and what they said.

  The Puppet Clan's invincibility to swords and guns only applies to most of their body, but the 6th-level Mud Puppet has a spot with a deeper color, which is its weakness. That place can be easily broken. As long as you can successfully break that place, the puppet's strength won't even be comparable to an ordinary 4th-level magical beast.

  But now it's nighttime, and that one place on the mud puppet is not easy to find. However, humans are clever, and they soon thought of a way.

  Boom! It's just a bombardment! Dozens of cannons are aimed at a mud puppet and fired. The killing range of one cannon is four meters in radius, and the height of the mud puppet's body is ten meters. So several cannons can easily cover the entire mud puppet, because this fortress was designed to withstand large-scale monster attacks from the beginning, so there will be a large-caliber gun every meter, and tens of thousands of guns are stored in the warehouse for backup.

  A cannonball is a convenient and practical thing, the cost of making one cannonball is less than 1 gold coin, but this gold coin can often take away the life of a level 3 magic beast if it hits directly.

  However, the cost of the cannons was a different story altogether - 50,000 gold coins per cannon! The ten million gold coins spent on these one hundred thousand cannons had completely drained the God's Decree Kingdom's tax revenue for the past decade.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The big cannon fired one after another, leaving a faint white mark on the mud puppet. The impact of the shell was not small either, and the slightly shorter puppets were knocked back several steps alive.

  The Legion's assault may be fierce, but can you really expect a group of rogues or thieves to take a castle?

  These monsters are like thieves and assassins, although they have the power to kill people, but against those hard city walls, they can do nothing, some of them can only climb up and then jump onto the wall to strike down those humans who shoot.

  But are humans going to wait for death like this? Those fourth-level soldiers held large shields in front, and because the terrain was too dark, when the demons climbed onto the shields, they thought it was still the city wall. The shields had light on them, and the demons naively believed that below were those delicious human meats.

  However, there was no human flesh to be had; only those long spears and swords that shone with a cold light.

  So many demons fell unwillingly on the city wall.

  The scene returned to Fei's body, his guards were the most stringent, but also the craziest place for the beast attack.

  "Charge! Faster!" Chen Le also jumped onto the city wall to participate in the defense, although he couldn't exhibit a hint of the Witch King's power, his own strength was still at level four. The bodies of these nocturnal demonic beasts were really too fragile.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and those blue souls seemed to have received even greater stimulation, one after another pounced on Fei's staff.

  "Bring down the wounded! Reserves forward!" The commander of this sector roared.

  The battle was like this, with human casualties numbering in the hundreds, while the demon beasts' casualties had already exceeded ten thousand.

  When dawn broke, the soul also gradually disappeared, the cold wind dissipated, and sunlight splashed on the ground.

  The demons carried their companions' corpses towards the forest.

  Fay sat on the ground, holding a black stone in her hand.

  "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint! Farewell, young Arthur!" Fei Zhi handed the resentful spirit crystal to Chen Le and immediately left.

  Chen Le held the resentful spirit crystal and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

  Aegisth looked at Fei Zou walking away, his face returned to normal. He walked to Chen Le's side and whispered: "Arthur, can you show it to me..."

  His voice was hoarse, and you could feel the old man's inner pain.

  Chen Le silently handed over the Crystal of Resentment in his hand, and then stood there quietly.

  The surrounding soldiers also fell silent. Although they didn't know what Egas was holding, from his expression, it could be seen that he was very sad.

  Aegys raised the Crystal of Resentment and shouted: "Soldiers, it includes those brave spirits who have died for humanity!"

  "Whoa!" The soldiers stared at Aegys, they couldn't believe that those blue souls would turn into such a dark and gloomy thing.

  "If it were any other time! I would have destroyed him without hesitation and freed those souls!" Aegys clutched the vengeful spirit crystal tightly in his arms.

  "But I can't now! We have a powerful enemy! To deal with him, it must be like this! Forgive me! I will resign as the highest official after this!" Agnis's nose and tears flowed down.

  The soldiers didn't say a word, but their actions spoke louder than words.

  They stood collectively on the city wall and stared rigidly at the forest.

  Go ahead. We won't blame you.
