Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Turning the Tide

But after searching for so long, the trace of the City Protection Array was still nowhere to be found, and so, at that moment, Lin Fan’s heart couldn’t help but start to waver.

Kill...

At this moment, the massive cries of battle reached Lin Fan’s ears.

The invaders outside had begun their attack again.

Those guys had been restrained by Lin Fan and the others before, so they temporarily retreated. But after retreating, they made arrangements and once again charged towards the Imperial City, and this time, they had launched the majority of their forces. It was evident that they were prepared to take down the Imperial City in one fell swoop.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan cursed, quickly heading towards the city wall.

After reaching the top of the wall, a sudden wave of horror overcame Lin Fan’s heart.

Below, silhouettes crowded as far as the eye could see.

Those invaders from the Holy Soul Domain were almost going insane by now.

The number of attackers launched this time was estimated to be around sixty to seventy thousand.

Bai Paoyi quickly arrived beside Lin Fan and asked, "Young Hero, these guys have completely lost their minds, what should we do?"

Under such circumstances, Lin Fan naturally had no other options but to loudly declare, "No matter what, we must hold them back!"

"But..."

Bai Paoyi wanted to say something, hesitating with a look of holding back words.

Everyone knew, under the current circumstances, to hold back the enemy’s assault?

Too difficult!

Lin Fan was aware of Bai Paoyi’s worries, but he did not say much more, instead stating, "No matter the reason, we must hold them back, hold them back..."

"Alright!"

Bai Paoyi too said loudly.

"Pattern Engraving Bomb, prepare!"

Bai Paoyi gave the commands loudly.

The previously crafted Pattern Engraving Bombs were already ready...

Boom, boom, boom...

One after another, Fire Dragons danced in the sky.

The Pattern Engraving Bombs started firing wildly.

Although these Pattern Engraving Bombs were only a simple version, their power was still incredibly formidable.

One by one, enemies slowly fell under the Pattern Engraving Bombs and then died!

However, the enemy had completely lost their minds, they still showed no signs of stopping, continuing their frenzied assault.

The battle had entered an extremely terrifying stage.

Furthermore, it seemed like the enemy had found the firing patterns of the Pattern Engraving Bombs, gradually getting better at dodging their fire, so, their casualties were significantly decreasing.

With this development, the situation turned very unfavorable for the Dasong Dynasty!

These baby soldiers were initially excited believing that with the Pattern Engraving Bombs, they might hold back the enemy.

But now...

Seeing the enemy gradually dodging the Pattern Engraving Bombs?

Their hearts couldn’t help but become panicked and fearful!

They worried that if they allowed these enemies to charge in, they would all die!

So, these baby soldiers also began to go insane, firing the Pattern Engraving Bombs without any care.

Yet, the enemy was still rapidly approaching. Although they suffered significant casualties, the Pattern Engraving Bombs still could not stop the enemy’s advance.

Finally, the enemy reached the base of the city wall, and they began to climb.

At this point, the Pattern Engraving Bombs were no longer effective. After all, it was impossible to bombard those climbing the walls without possibly damaging the city walls.

Huge rocks and rolling logs were crazily smashed down, many enemies climbing the walls were killed or injured, but still, this could not stop their pace...

Finally, someone reached the top of the city wall.

Close-quarter combat had intensified to a white-hot stage.

Initially, the baby soldiers were terrified and afraid.

But as the fight reached white-hot levels, they became very frenzied, utilizing all the skills they trained for during this period regardless of everything else, with only one goal in mind – to kill the enemy.

Constantly, baby soldiers died in battle!

However, those who survived the combat and bloodshed were rapidly growing stronger.

The baby soldiers fought more and more valorously.

And yet, more and more enemies climbed the city wall, the baby soldiers continuously fell back.

If this situation continued, it wouldn’t take long for the baby soldiers to be entirely routed.

The situation had become incredibly bleak for the Dasong Dynasty.

At this moment, Bai Paoyi was extremely tense.

It’s undeniable, Bai Paoyi was a great General, but unfortunately, while he had a lot of experience with siege warfare, he lacked some when it came to defending, so now, he truly had no solution.

Bai Paoyi couldn’t help but think resentfully, "Damn it, could it be that today, the Dasong Dynasty, is really going to fall by my hand?"

"No, no matter what, I must defend the city!"

"We must!"

At this moment, Bai Paoyi had already decided that he must defend the Imperial City at all costs.

For Bai Paoyi knew that if he lost the Imperial City today, the Dasong Dynasty would be utterly annihilated, and once that happened, he would become a sinner of the Dasong Dynasty.

No matter what, Bai Paoyi was unwilling to become a sinner of the Dasong Dynasty.

"Everyone, listen up, today, we swear to live or die with the Imperial City!" Bai Paoyi roared loudly once again.

At the same time, Bai Paoyi had recklessly charged forward, his longsword already in his hand, as he joined the fierce battle...

While everyone was engaged in the melee, Lin Fan was silently standing there.

Lin Fan’s eyes stared unblinkingly in a certain direction, and within ten feet around him, there was not a single soul, as if the surrounding attacks couldn’t get anywhere near him at all.

Naturally, enemies noticed the situation on Lin Fan’s side, and they recklessly rushed towards him, planning to cut Lin Fan down. However, as they charged close to him, they were repelled by an invisible force, unable to reach Lin Fan, and even their long-range attacks launched at him were blocked by a special energy.

At that time, Lin Fan had already set up an Array around himself.

Although these soldiers were battle-hardened, they were ultimately just ordinary soldiers, unable to break through the Array surrounding Lin Fan.

Seeing they couldn’t attack Lin Fan, the enemies ultimately gave up on him and began to continue their assault on others...

Lin Fan, still standing.

As if the bloody battle around him had nothing to do with himself at all.

Bai Paoyi also noticed the situation around Lin Fan.

To be honest, when he saw Lin Fan in this state, Bai Paoyi was very puzzled, and he couldn’t help thinking: "What is going on? What is this guy doing, just standing there dumbly?"

But soon, frenzied attacks came surging towards Bai Paoyi’s surroundings, and he no longer had the energy to pay attention to Lin Fan, plunging back into the frenzied battle...

The frantic battle continued relentlessly.

Here, people were dying every moment.

The battle had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Blood had already stained the walls red, flowing down like a small creek.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Imperial City has never seen such a brutal battle before.

However, as the battle wore on, the situation of the baby soldiers became even more pessimistic; one-third of them had already been sacrificed, and another third injured.

In other words, by now, only one-third of the baby soldiers were still capable of fighting!

And moreover, this situation couldn’t last much longer. If it continued like this, it wouldn’t take long before the remaining one-third of the baby soldiers could no longer hold on.

And Lin Fan, still just standing there.

He, still unaware of the situation around him.

Beside Bai Paoyi, a Deputy General shouted loudly: "General, the situation is too dire, let’s retreat. Let’s fall back to the Inner City and then figure out what to do. We don’t have the capacity to continue defending. If we keep defending, everyone might end up dying here today!"

Bai Paoyi was still fiercely attacking, but his heart had started to contemplate.

Indeed, just as the Deputy General said, if they didn’t retreat, perhaps the whole army would be wiped out...

Finally, Bai Paoyi gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

Once Bai Paoyi’s command was given, everyone had begun to steadily retreat.

It was at this moment that Lin Fan finally reacted.

"Hm?"

Lin Fan suddenly smiled, then, step by step, he moved forward; in front of him, the Pattern Engraving Bomb he always carried with him had appeared.

And soon, the Pattern Engraving Bomb was quickly loaded.

Aimed at a certain direction...

Boom!

His robes blasted out!

A Fire Dragon danced forth!

Surprisingly, this Fire Dragon did not seem so formidable, flying off in one direction.

At the same time, in the enemy camp where the Marshal’s Tent was located.

The commander of the ten thousand enemy troops stood there quietly, a cold smile on his face.

He had already seen the light of victory.

He believed that his generals and soldiers would soon break through the Dasong Imperial City.

Then, he would find a way to locate this guy named Lin Fan.

He believed that as long as he completed all this, it would be a great achievement.

Perhaps afterwards, he would surely receive a rich reward.

"Hehe!"

Even the Commander had started to laugh out loud.

Thinking of his bright future, a sense of inexplicable joy filled the Commander’s heart!

"Hm?"

But just at that moment, the Commander furrowed his brows slightly.

For in that instant, a bad premonition suddenly surfaced in the Commander’s heart; he felt as if a massive danger had abruptly appeared and was now completely targeting him.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"

The Commander internally wondered: "Why would I have such a sense of danger under these absolutely safe circumstances?"
