"They're here!"
When the vast number of sword bearers walked towards the outermost city wall under Gu Xuan Yuan's encouragement, everyone's blood was boiling.
But when they stood on top of the city wall and saw the endless Yuan Bandit army charging towards the city wall, fear once again took over their hearts. Some of the sword-bearers were so scared that their legs were trembling. Half of their lofty sentiments and lofty aspirations from before had also been lost.
"Everyone, hold on!
In three and a half hours, our Super Dimensional Wall System will be able to reactivate.
As long as everyone can hold on for three and a half hours, victory will be ours! "
Sword Immortal Ling Xu's passionate voice was transmitted to every sword bearer's ears through their personal gadgets.
What people feared the most was a cave with no end and a dark night with no dawn. They had to leave a sliver of hope so that they would have the desire to continue living.
This time limit of three and a half hours was every sword bearer's hope to continue fighting.
Even though they knew that more than half of the sword bearers would die on the city wall after three and a half hours.
…
"These humans still have some courage. Their turtle shells are gone, but they still dare to stand guard on the city wall."
An ugly monster that looked like he had crawled out of hell gazed at the city wall in the distance.
His name was Archimonde, and he was a Yu rank Yuan Kou from the Western Demon Beast Faction. He was responsible for commanding all of the Western Demon Beast Faction's forces attacking Yuzhang City.
"Archimonde, never underestimate humans. This is my advice to you as a human."
A general seated on a silver-white unicorn frowned at the ugly Archimonde, wielding a greatsword.
He was the commander of the Martyr's Palace's forces attacking Yuzhang City. At the same time, he was also a Yu rank Yuan Kou, one of the ten kings of the Martyr's Palace.
"If it wasn't for the fact that we have to take down this damned city, I really don't want to see you again, Alexander. I'm not done with Arthas yet," Archimonde said angrily.
"It was Arthis's choice to turn back into a human. He has already been redeemed. He is now a member of the Martyr's Palace. He is no longer your Lich King!" Alexander said with a frown.
"Nonsense! If it weren't for our Burning Legion, Arthas would just be a useless human. He wouldn't have the ability to become a Meteor Master!" Archimonde and Alexander were about to start arguing over Arthas.
"Aiya!
Do you want to drink some good wine to soothe your throats? "
A voluptuous, beautiful woman with a pair of watermelon-like opies on her chest walked between Archimonde and Alexander. She held a wine flask in her hand as she drunkenly asked the two of them.
Archimonde and Alexander gulped at the same time when they saw the pair of frighteningly large weapons on her chest. They couldn't help but turn their heads away to avoid being tempted by the pair of breasts.
"Aiya!
Are you really not going to drink? "The beautiful woman gulped down another mouthful of wine.
"Your Excellency Feathered Serpent God, please behave yourself. Look at the situation now. Don't forget about your sister."
Alexander muttered. It turned out that this giant opie that suddenly appeared was actually Feathered Serpent God, one of the famous Eon Level Yuan Kou of the Western Divine System. She was also the Yuan Kou who was responsible for leading the Western Divine System's army.
"If you mention my sister again, I will kill you!"
In the blink of an eye, Feathered Serpent God appeared behind Alexander. As her world-class opies pressed against Alexander's back, her incomparably sharp dragon claws gripped Alexander's neck.
"Sorry!"
Alexander was a Universe Level Yuan Kou, and Feathered Serpent God was an Eon Level Yuan Kou. Alexander was no match for Feathered Serpent God. Even though he was a king who had once unified half of the Eurasian Continent, in front of Feathered Serpent God's powerful strength, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"That's right!
You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. "
Feathered Serpent God pushed Alexander away and gulped down another mouthful of wine. She said with some dissatisfaction, "Where are the people from the Fuso Divine System and the Heavenly Court?
Why aren't they here yet? "
Behind him, countless ugly monsters, orcs, undead, and all kinds of strange soldiers belonging to the Western Divine Beasts let out uniform howls. The entire ground seemed to tremble along with their howls.
Behind Alissanda was an endless phalanx of infantry. Each infantryman was holding a huge spear that was over five meters long. All the infantrymen were lined up in neat phalanxes. None of them spoke. They just stood still like statues.
This was the Macedonian phalanx that Alexander the Great used to dominate the world. It was also the main force that the Martyr's Palace had sent to attack Yuzhang City.
Of course, apart from the infantry, there were also many cavalry, light infantry, archers, and other types of soldiers. This was definitely one of the most powerful phalanxes of this era.
As for the troops brought by Quetzalcoatl, they were much more chaotic and complicated. Among them were Aztec warriors with terrifying masks, Paladins in golden armor, and even Saint Seiya in holy clothing.
In addition, there were all kinds of monsters. However, compared to the terrifying monsters of the Western Divine Beasts, the monsters that Feathered Serpent God had brought should be called Holy Beasts. This was because these monsters were basically pure white, including unicorns and flower fairies that belonged to the Western Divine System. They gave off an incomparably holy feeling.
The troops that these three forces had brought together numbered more than 100,000. According to Feathered Serpent God, the troops of the Fuso Divine System and the Heavenly Court had yet to appear. This meant that there were probably more than 150,000 troops attacking Yuzhang City. Without the protection of the Super Dimensional Defense System, this would definitely be a battle with a great disparity.
"What do you guys think? Should we wait for those two who are late, or should we attack now?" Feathered Serpent God asked Archimonde and Alexander.
"Of course we're going to attack. I can't wait to smell the burning blood!"
Archimonde's skin, which was like volcanic rocks, began to tremble. This was how Western Divine Beasts were. They were always eager to fight and kill.
"Without their turtle shells, these weak humans are far from being a match for the Macedonian warriors. Let's get rid of these humans," Alexander said.
"Alright!
Since that's the case, let's attack! "Feathered Serpent God concluded.
…
The battle had just begun, but it had already fallen into an extremely tragic situation.
The monsters of the Western Divine Beasts were the first to reach the city walls. They frantically used their bodies to attack the sturdy city walls that had been reinforced with dimensional alloys.
The entire city walls trembled under their attacks. It was as if the entire world was about to collapse.
"Everyone, don't panic!
Our city walls are very sturdy. These Divine Beasts can't break through them. Let them do it themselves.
Now, everyone, release your Sword Maidens and prepare to receive the attacks from the sky! "Sword Immortal Ling Xu's voice sounded in the ears of all the Divine Beasts.
Sword Immortal Ling Xu was right. The first attacks to reach the city walls were indeed attacks from the sky.
Regardless of whether it was the ferocious Demon Winged Birds, the simple and honest Two-Legged Flying Dragons, or the holy and pure Divine Sky Falcons, these flying Divine Beasts that belonged to different factions of Yuan Kou were all mixed together at this moment. They launched a series of surprise attacks against the human Divine Beasts on the city walls.
"Open the entrance to the safety wall immediately. All Divine Beasts, enter the safety wall immediately. Sword Maidens, stay on the city walls and prepare for battle!"
At Sword Immortal Ling Xu's command, circular entrances would open every few hundred meters or so on the city walls. All the Divine Beasts would immediately enter these entrances. When all the Divine Beasts had entered, these entrances would immediately close again. Only a few ventilation holes were left open.
This was the biggest difference between the defensive battles of the city walls after the Great Calamity and the traditional defensive battles of the city walls before the Great Calamity. Once the dimensional barrier system was breached, all the Divine Beasts would immediately hide behind the safety wall. This way, their bodies would be protected by the safety wall, and they wouldn't be directly attacked by Yuan Kou.
The ones who were actually fighting were the Sword Maidens who were controlled by the Divine Beasts outside.
"All Spirit Sword Maidens, immediately take to the sky and use area-of-effect skills to strangle the sky!"
Under Sword Immortal Ling Xu's command, all the Spirit Sword Maidens flew into the sky together and used their area-of-effect skills to form a blanket of area-of-effect attacks.
Most of the Yuan Kou in the sky were Rat, Tiger, Dragon, and Dragon Tier Yuan Kou. Most of them died to the attacks of the Spirit Sword Maidens in a few moves.
However, there were still too few Spirit Sword Tier Divine Beasts in Yuzhang City. There was no way they could protect most of the airspace above the city walls. Thus, a large number of flying Yuan Kou began to attack the low-level Divine Beasts.
On the other hand, the low-level Swordmistresses were having a hard time dealing with the flying bandits. It was difficult for their attacks to land on the agile flying bandits. Most of their attacks were in vain. In just three to four minutes, a Swordmistress's shield had been shattered by the concentrated attacks of the bandits. She was grabbed by the neck by a Celestial Eagle and thrown into the midst of the Western Magical Beasts Army below the city wall. In just a few seconds, the bandits had smashed her into pieces.
"Wah!"
Within the safety wall, the Divine Sword Maiden spat out a large mouthful of blood. This meant that her Sword Scar had been completely broken. Her Divine Sword Maiden was also done for.
"Comrades, pay attention!
Once you find that your Divine Sword Maidens' shields are running out of energy, immediately order them to return to their swords. Don't stay outside and fight with these Yuan Kou! "
Seeing the first Divine Sword Maiden to be broken, Sword Immortal Ling Xu couldn't help but grit his teeth and said to the other Divine Sword Maidens.
The safety wall was a wall that was specially opened on the city walls. It was used for the Divine Sword Maidens whose shields had run out of energy to hide and recover their Sword Essence. At the same time, there were also some equipment that could help recover Sword Essence, as well as public medical pods that specialized in treating Divine Sword Maidens. There were also Divine Swordsmiths that could repair the Divine Sword Maidens that hadn't been completely broken.
However, the flying Yuan Kou was actually not that much of a problem. The flying Yuan Kou's attack power wasn't high, and it didn't last long. In the short term, the actual threat to the Divine Sword Maidens was not high. The real threat to the Divine Sword Maidens was the Yuan Kou that climbed up the city walls. Once these Yuan Kou reached the top of the city walls, they would immediately pose a fatal threat to the Divine Sword Maidens.
At this time, a Saint Seiya in silver-white armor had unknowingly climbed up the city walls and entered the Divine Sword Maidens.
