Chapter 2623: Chapter 2621: Breaching the City

“This time, the Divine Fire Rune is a special case. From what I understand, outsiders have always existed. There has always been infiltration between the Saints, sending selected people into the Holy Kingdom. Like Silver Scale, whom you encountered in Nine Bends City, his Rule and Order was obtained by people sent by the Frail Serpent Witch Saint after years of lurking.”

Yvelise Ayers seemed to have a clear understanding of the rules between the Holy Kingdoms and began to explain in detail.

“That is to say, all people must go through the screening of the Holy Kingdom to enter the more core areas, which is unavoidable. However, this time, so many outsiders suddenly increased, and many of them are pawns arranged by various Holy Ranks, which added immense difficulty for us.”

Ethan Smith said in a deep voice.

“How is the situation in your strategic game this time, and do you have any coping strategies?”

Ethan Smith turned to look at Yvelise Ayers.

“It’s not optimistic, but during the deduction, I found a move to retreat to the northeastern north axis position. That place itself has a formation, making it easy to defend and hard to attack. As long as that area is defended, as long as one region within Nine Bends City is not overrun, we won’t be wiped out. If we’re lucky and don’t encounter Felix Cloud, the probability of passing through here will be even greater.”

Yvelise Ayers pondered for a long time before speaking.

“I will head to that location first, you can decide for yourselves.”

With that, he ignored Ethan Smith and West Hill’s response, and hurried to that area on his own.

This time in the Great War, no Supervisory War Team Soldiers came to urge them to go up to the city walls.

So as long as they didn’t leave the city, they should be able to participate in the battle throughout the city.

Ethan Smith, West Hill, and Grayson walked inside Nine Bends City, which was filled with noisy sounds at the moment.

The young and strong had already gone up to the city walls, or were in the reserve team preparing to fight desperately once the city was breached.

The elderly, women, and children were also busy, cooking porridge and roasting meat for the soldiers in the city.

Youths with greater strength were also helping to transport arrows.

Young children nestled in their grandparent’s arms, watching the noisy scene with a bewildered look.

They seemed to feel the heavy pre-war atmosphere and surprisingly didn’t whine or cry like they usually would.

“Who could have imagined that this is a country derived from the Holy Kingdom, and living beings here are transformed into existence?”

West Hill couldn’t help but say as she watched the scene.

“Who can say that these living beings are just transformed into existence? In fact, in the Lower Realm, we might be the same, only we are completely unaware because we’re in the middle of it.”

Ethan Smith looked at a five-year-old girl curled up in her grandmother’s arms, with a look of fear and trepidation. Who could say these beings are merely derivative and devoid of emotions?

These words left West Hill and Grayson in silence.

“Do one’s best and submit to Destiny.”

Ethan Smith’s expression turned resolute.

Just like the little boy Maxwell and his grandfather he met before, when the boy whispered in Ethan Smith’s ear.

Who would dare say this person in front of them was just a fabricated being, alive just like him? Thus, in the end, he gave a Rule Sequence to the village chief, hoping the little boy could escape that fate.

With the sound of a heavy horn, the Undead Legion’s assault began in earnest.

The City Lord Mansion’s original plan was to launch a desperate counterattack while Saifu was weakened by summoning the legion.

However, with Felix Cloud’s emergence and Saifu’s early preparations, the attack was ultimately initiated by the Undead Legion.

This time, Saifu’s Undead Legion held nothing back.

They attacked simultaneously from the east, west, south, and north gates.

Endless Ogres and Ogre-Trolls charged at the forefront, frantically assaulting the human city.

The soldiers of Nine Bends City also almost all dispatched, relying on the city walls to snipe those from the Undead Legion.

This time, with no Supervising Battle Team, almost everyone decisively joined the fight.

For them, this was the moment that determined life or death.

If the city fell, their home would be destroyed and people would perish.

Although the human soldiers killed many Ogres, the number of the Undead Legion far exceeded that of the human soldiers.

After an hour of bloody fighting, all four walls were stained with blood.

At this moment, many Ogre-Trolls had broken through the walls and began fighting with the soldiers on the walls.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The loud sound of bowstrings suddenly rang out, as deadly skeleton arrows shot into the air.

Following a parabolic trajectory, they rained down, pinning hundreds of guards at the east gate directly to the city walls.

“What terrifying destructive power. Some of these guards were even from the elite Supervisory War Team, wearing heavy armor, yet they were pierced through by a single arrow. It shows the terrifying penetration power of those skeleton archers’ arrows.”

West Hill frowned.

Bang!

Amidst continuous muffled wing flapping sounds, a huge vibration came from the east gate.

The silhouettes of three Black Dragons appeared again on the city walls, under the suppression of those skeleton archers.

The massive bodies of the three Black Dragons fiercely rammed into the city walls.

With that immense force, a slight crack appeared on the city walls.

“Why is the destruction so low? There seems to be a hidden formation on these city walls.”

Zephyr Grimm frowned; he had thought the city walls would crumble under the Black Dragon’s attack.

But it seemed not so simple.

Meanwhile, a Hominini soldier suddenly landed on the head of one of the Black Dragons.

Then, more elite, fearless soldiers jumped down.

In an instant, one of the Black Dragons was severely wounded and fell to the ground, but this almost exhausted the strongest human soldiers on the walls of the east gate.

The remaining soldiers were continuously retreating amid the fierce attacks of the Ogre-Trolls and Ogres.

Bone fire flashed in Saifu’s pupil, and the remaining five Black Dragons suddenly appeared at the east gate, frantically attacking the walls on this side.

Under the attack of seven Black Dragons, more and more cracks appeared on the city walls.

The logs and stones on the walls kept hitting the Black Dragons’ bodies, but these things seemed to tickle the thick-skinned Black Dragons.

“Too dilatory.”

Zephyr Grimm showed a hint of impatience on his face and mounted a skeletal horse of an Undead Knight.

The skeletal horse charged, bringing him below the east gate.

With one punch, the entire east gate wall made a huge booming sound, and the existing cracks from the seven Black Dragons’ attacks spread further open.

In those cracks, one could vaguely see the scene inside the walls.

The power of that punch far exceeded even a full-on attack from a Black Dragon.
