Chapter 706: Chapter 498, Holy Temple Knight_2
Now, it was time to take down this city.
Dong Jiayue looked at Spencer on the side and said softly, “Spencer, please take the Bone Dragon and take this city down.”
Spencer nodded, “Alright.”
As soon as his words fell, he leaped high into the air, morphing into a massive dragon form, heading for the city.
Following him were several bone dragons.
At this moment, the skies were devoid of the moon’s light.
All sorts of smoke and dust shrouded the sky, like a dense fog.
Through the clouds, Spencer looked down at the battle below.
The dwarfs were still resisting, their cannons had already turned their barrels.
Blasting at the tightly-packed skeletal soldiers scaling the walls beneath them.
The barrage of cannon fire temporarily halted the skeletons ascending the city wall.
In an instant, Spencer had reached the city’s airspace.
The orange hued bullets whizzed past him.
The dwarfs were aware of these invaders.
Arrows as thick as arms were deployed towards the airborne wyverns.
Spencer couldn’t afford to ignore them, these arrows were designed specifically for dealing with aerial units.
The Dragon Lock Crossbows designed by the trolls posed a threat to the bone dragons.
Even more so for the improved dwarf-made equipment.
Dodging the airborne arrows, Spencer began to flicker down at high speed.
The Flame Breath poured onto the city wall.
The crimson flames swept past, incinerating everything in its path.
The dwarf bodies were instantly turned to charcoal, and the cannons on the wall also melted into molten iron as the flames swept across.
In an instant, half of the city wall had been completely cleaned.
The bone dragons, trailing behind Spencer, also arrived at this time.
After clearing the city wall, they circled in the sky.
Spewing out beams of black light onto the dwarf soldiers below, trying to climb the city wall.
In a short time, the undead had taken advantage of this gap to swarm onto the city walls.
Following a brief engagement with the remaining dwarfs, they directly opened the city gates.
Skeletons flooded into the city.
They clashed with the dwarfs in the city.
Flames of war ignited across the city, the sound of killing and roars echoed in every corner.
With the city gates wide open, Dong Jiayue stepped in leading her troops.
Spencer descended from the sky to dutifully guard her safety by her side.
“Notify everyone to cease killing if they drop their weapons,” Dong Jiayue, holding her silver spear, announced loudly.
“Yes,” the Human Clan soldiers immediately took her orders.
The soldiers dispersed in all directions, shouting for the enemies to drop their weapons.
Perhaps the dwarf soldiers within the city didn’t believe in their offer, they continued to resist fiercely.
But the city was also inhabited by numerous dwarf civilians who were not soldiers. Hearing the call, they had no other choice.
The enemy had entered the city and resisting meant certain death.
If there was a chance of survival, naturally, they wouldn’t want to die.
The people hesitantly dropped their weapons, kneeling on the ground.
The initially brutal undead immediately stopped in their tracks, avoiding these people, and began to search for new targets.
The noise of battle within the city slowly subsided.
It slowly quieted down, with only occasional groans echoing through, proof of the recent battle.
“My lord, the prisoners have been locked into the prison, and we have found the arsenal, filled with over twenty cannons with two hundred boxes of ammunition,” a soldier reported.
“Good, take me to the warehouse.” Dong Jiayue directed.
Following the soldier to the warehouse, Dong Jiayue immediately opened the Book of Lords and distributed all the cannons and ammunition to the other transmigrators besieging the four frontier cities through the transaction channel.
With these cannons, they should now be a match for the dwarfs in terms of firepower.
After distributing the cannons, Dong Jiayue looked at the map once more, and commanded, “Deng Bin, take fifty thousand men and block this road. I don’t want to see dwarf reinforcements before noon tomorrow.”
The location Dong Jiayue pointed was midway between the ensnared five and four fortresses.
The road here was narrow, an easy position to defend and hard to attack.
Her plan was to intercept the dwarf reinforcements in the rear.
“Alright!” Deng Bin immediately nodded.
Dong Jiayue continued to look at Spencer, “Leave Yang Xiaolan to defend the city, the rest will follow me to flank the remaining four cities.”
The city was littered with corpses.
Blood had formed streams.
After taking control, without even bothering to clean up the battlefield, they directed their forces towards the other cities.
The army regrouped, heading towards the next target.
While on the march, Dong Jiayue kept glancing at Spencer.
The advantages aerial units provided in siege battles had surprised her.
In the future, she’d let Spencer and the bone dragons play a larger role.
It could expedite the speed of their advances.
Eight Peaks Mountain, Grey Iron City.
When the spectral image of Hester’s soul appeared on the Hero’s altar, the numerous high-ranking dwarves in the audience descended into chaos.
Hester’s death was proof that the frontier fortress of the dwarves had fallen.
The Eight Peaks Mountain was facing an unprecedented threat.
“Resurrect him.” Rune held his staff, unflinching.
All sorts of sacrificial materials were placed on the Hero’s altar.
A flash of light sprung forth.
Slowly, on the platform of the Hero’s altar, a figure of a naked dwarf grew.
When the dwarf opened his eyes once again.
He initially appeared dazed and confused, then, he understood he had died in battle and was just resurrected.
