Translator: 549690339
In the clattering of armor, North-guarding King stepped out with his saber in hand. He stood on the observation platform of the City Tower and looked at the leader of the Qingyan tribe.
The two rank-3 powerhouses looked at each other across the vast plain. They could clearly see each other’s expressions and eyes. Ji Li Zhigu smiled ferociously, while the North-guarding king’s mouth twitched, carrying a bit of sneer and disdain.
After a brief eye contact, Ji Li Zhi Gu suddenly lowered his head, swung his arms, and began to run.
Bang Bang Bang Bang …
The earth trembled as if a Cannonball had exploded. The Green Giant turned into an afterimage as if it wanted to crash into the city wall.
“Fire the cannons!”
The country protector, que Yongxiu, roared.
The large ballistae and cannons on the city walls all aimed at the Green Giant.
The ballista’s bowstring was pulled back by four soldiers. As the bowstring was slowly pulled back, the runes engraved on the frame of the ballista lit up one by one. The runes emitted a faint glow that flowed like water and gathered on the two-meter-long heavy arrow.
As the bowstring was fully drawn, the faint light gathered on the heavy arrow. The two-meter-long heavy arrow burst with a dazzling light, as if it was made of pure light.
“Collapse! Crash! Collapse!”
The two-meter long heavy arrow whizzed out like a stream of light, shooting toward the Green Giant.
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
At the same time, the cannons, which were also enhanced by the formation, shot out burning fireballs like dazzling meteorites.
The DA Feng Army’s individual strength was inferior to the Barbarian race’s.They were not as numerous as the witchcraft cult, which could control corpses.ln terms of agility, they were not as good as the crafty and difficult Gu tribe Army.The combat power of the middle and high levels was even weaker than that of the Buddhist Kingdom.
However, Da Feng was able to occupy the Central Plains and dominate the nine regions because of Confucianism. When the Confucians ruled the court, the positions of commander and Commander-in-Chief were usually taken up by the scholars.
The famous Confucian generals in history were basically all from Yun Lu Academy.
The Confucian generals were proficient in military tactics and could use them like gods. They could even come to the battlefield to fight, and with a boast, the sky would fall and the earth would crack.
As the Confucians didn’t fall behind, the Directorate of Celestials ‘magic tools took up the heavy responsibility. Heavy killing magic tools and firearms were the foundation of the great Feng dynasty’s survival. Especially when defending a city, it was like a meat grinder.
The blinding arrows and meteorites bombarded the Green Giant.
Jili Zhigu was holding on to the heavy arrows and cannons that could easily kill a rank six martial artist. With every boom, his body would tremble.
However, he didn’t Dodge. Instead, he took the initiative to welcome the rain of arrows and cannons. He waved his giant sword and scattered the terrifying arrows and meteors. These attacks weren’t much of a problem to him, but they would bring disaster to the cavalry behind him.
Even so, after one round of bombardment, more than a hundred elite cavalrymen were sacrificed.
When he was less than 200 meters away from the Chu Prefecture city, Ji Li Zhigu’s knees suddenly sank. As the ground collapsed, his body tilted and he crashed into the city wall.
A strong wind whistled, and the two-Zhang tall green figure was wrapped in an irresistible Qi, as if it could collapse a mountain.
No, it could indeed collapse a mountain.
At this moment, North Vanquisher King on the City Tower moved. Bang! He shot up into the sky amidst the shattering of the stone bricks. His Scarlet cloak flapped fiercely. When he reached the highest point, he drew out his long saber.
He raised it high.
Immediately after, North vanquishing Prince swooped down and slashed with his long saber.
Although he was alone, he gave people a sense of oppression that was as overwhelming as the heavens.
The Green Giant had no choice but to stop its charging posture and stabilize its body. The giant sword suddenly turned back and slashed at North Vanquisher King in the sky.
BOOM!
A deafening sound reverberated throughout the heavens and earth.
The tidal-like Qi rippled in a circular shape, as if dozens of cannons had been detonated, and the shock wave spread in the air.
The cavalrymen of the Qingyan tribe below were lucky enough to survive the attack. The runes on the city wall lit up, forming an invisible barrier to block the aftermath of the Qi movement.
North vanquishing Prince flew up again and landed on the City Tower. He held a long saber in his hand and looked as dignified as a mountain.
“North vanquishing Prince, God of War! ”
Country protecting Duke que Yongxiu raised his weapon and shouted.
“North vanquishing Prince, God of War.”
North vanquishing Prince, God of War …
On the city wall, the soldiers shouted and their will was united. They were full of confidence in the North vanquishing Prince and respected him like a god.
At the north gate, in the boundless wilderness outside the city, a giant creature appeared at the end of the horizon. It was completely red and scaleless, and the single eye on its forehead was like a golden sun.
The giant red snake slithered on the ground, stirring up dust.
Behind it was a dense demon Army. There were flood Dragons, black-scaled Tigers, single-horned lizards, apes …
Above its head, a black mass of Bird Tribe Army covered the sky and the earth as they quickly swept over.
The soldiers on the city wall were expressionless. There was no fear on their faces, nor was there any nervousness. They mechanically fired ballistae, cannons, or curved bows to attack the birds circling in the air.
The bird that was shot by the arrow was already dead, but in the process of falling, it suddenly opened its Scarlet eyes, flapped its wings again, and flew up to kill its companions.
The demon Army that had been killed by the artillery fire and crossbow arrows also crawled up again and bit their companions beside them, even the red giant python.
Before the demon Army could reach the city, a small chaos had already occurred.
“Bengbeng …”
The heavy arrows were shot out, automatically ignoring the demon Army. Their target was the red python. They did not travel in a straight line, but in a curved path, and they were all attacking the same target.
Seven inches away from the giant python.
It was as if an invisible hand was fiddling with the heavy arrows and artillery fire, making them aim at the weak points.
The giant Python’s body was huge, and while it brought overwhelming power, it also showed the disadvantage of not being flexible enough. It could not avoid heavy arrows and cannons.
Although he would not be severely injured, the seven-inch area felt as if steel nails had pierced into his flesh, and the pain was unbearable..
