Chapter 740: Siege warfare

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

The continuous bombardment of mortars finally stopped as the soldiers of West Gran charged towards the city walls of Mondra. Once the soldiers had breached the walls, it was impossible for the artillery to continue shelling. However, Mondra’s army, which had already been riddled with holes by the shelling, found it difficult to organize a decent defense. The ballistae that were supposed to fire relentlessly from the city walls were now taking a long time to shoot a single arrow. The archers, who were supposed to be queued up on the walls, had already lost their spirit due to the mortars and were now hiding in the trenches, making it difficult to immediately restore the defenses of the city walls.

Mondra shouted from his hiding place, "The shelling has stopped! Let the soldiers return to their positions!"
 

 

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are afraid that if they go back, the shelling will start again. They dare not move."

"Their soldiers have already rushed in. How could they possibly continue shelling? Are they not afraid of hitting their own people?" Mondra roared, "Arrange it quickly."

Mondra’s army began hurriedly restoring their positions. The soldiers ran out from behind their shields, hidden trenches, small ditches, and dilapidated buildings and rushed towards the city walls. However, by this time, the siege towers of West Gran had already pushed up against the walls.

The siege tower was extremely high, even taller than the city walls.

The archers standing on the siege tower drew their bows and shot a volley of arrows at Mondra’s army coming up to fill the gaps.
 

 

Robb's freshly made boxwood bow was incredibly powerful. The arrows it fired not only had the power to penetrate armor, but even arrows that missed the target had an extra hit rate that could turn them around to hit the enemy. It was unbelievable.

Mondra’s army had just rushed up to the city walls and already suffered heavy losses...

They only now realized how difficult it was to regain control of the city walls. The purpose of the enemy's shelling was to drive them away from their original defensive points and then easily take them over. It was similar to when they had gone outside the fortress of West Gran a few days ago to release poisonous gas.

A large number of skeleton soldiers finally rushed to the bottom of the city walls. However, before they could start climbing the walls, a golden light appeared along the outer edge of the walls. A huge golden barrier suddenly unfolded and stopped the skeleton soldiers outside.

A few of the faster skeleton soldiers crashed into the golden barrier and were immediately enveloped by the golden light, exploding into pieces.
 

 

"It's the Holy Light Sanctuary!"

"A giant Holy Light Sanctuary!"

This city was called the Capital of Saints, Mondra's stronghold and a fortress that the Archbishop of the Church of Light had been managing for a long time. How could there be a shortage of magic barriers? Especially the Holy Light Sanctuary, which was one of the most important weapons of the Church of Light in the fight against the Church of Darkness.

The skeleton soldiers were blocked at the bottom of the walls...

Human warriors and demi-human warriors mixed in with the army attacking the city rushed to the corner of the wall, wielding magic battle axes they had prepared beforehand, and indiscriminately hacked at the magic runes drawn under the wall.

Kante was among them, and when he reached the corner of the wall, he saw several golden runes drawn there. He fiercely swung his one-handed sword down onto the runes on the ground.

Just then, a soldier from Mondra’s army appeared on the city wall and shot an arrow at Kante below. Kante blocked the arrow with his shield in his left hand and pointed his long sword upward with his right hand, shouting, "Wind Blade!"

The other Wind Knight behind him immediately recalled the time when Kante had kicked him in the butt with a tornado spell. But this time, Kante did not embarrass himself. A whirlwind flew out from the tip of his sword, wrapping around the city wall. The archers on the city wall were swayed by the whirlwind, lost their footing, and fell off the wall.

Kante muttered, "Tsk! It works, but the power is not enough. Is it because my intelligence is not high enough?"

"Don't talk nonsense, quickly destroy the Holy Light Sanctuary!"

The Wind Knights hacked at the runes on the ground with their weapons. After a burst of magical light, the magic array was destroyed. The result of destroying this thing was often an explosion, and then bursts of golden light exploded, blasting the knights backwards. However, the Holy Light Sanctuary was also breached in several places.

A large number of skeleton soldiers finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall without hindrance and began to climb up the ladder to the top of the wall!

Mondra was furious. "Stop them!"

"Your Majesty, we are being suppressed by the siege tower and cannot retake the city wall."

Mondra roared, "A bunch of useless people."

He emerged from his hiding place, wielding a wand, and a huge fireball shot out from the tip of his wand, hitting the siege tower closest to the city.

With a loud bang, the siege tower burned fiercely, and the archers on it were scared off and fled.

Mondra shouted, "Flame Knights!"

The fire magicians in their red robes emerged from their hiding places and suddenly, fireballs were flying all over the place. They finally reached the siege tower near the city wall and set it alight with their fireballs.

"The siege tower has fallen!"

"We have retaken control of the city wall."

Mondra’s army finally regained control of the city wall, but by then, the skeleton soldiers had already climbed up halfway through the ladder. The defenders immediately threw stones, shot arrows, and cast spells at the skeleton soldiers climbing up the ladder, using various means of defense to fight them off.

But the skeleton soldiers were fearless, as they were already dead anyway. They continued to climb the wall, enduring all kinds of chaos...

After a wave of attacks and defenses, the ground on the city wall was covered with fallen skeleton soldiers, all of whom were smashed down by various random things. One skeleton soldier even had its skull crushed, but it picked up the skull and banged it back onto its head, climbing up the ladder once again.

The soldiers of Mondra’s army on the wall suddenly felt overwhelmed!

Fortunately, they still had the Templar Knights, led by the Archbishop, who charged up the wall. The magic of the Holy Light flashed and the skeleton soldiers froze and fell apart, dropping from the wall and turning into lifeless bones that couldn't return to the battlefield without being reconstituted.

"Damn the Church of Light!"

The dark priests in the army roared, and some of the unnumbered necromancers also joined in the rage. Whenever they saw the Church of Light, these members of the Church of Darkness would feel a deep anger from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, the Church of Light felt the same way!

"Holy Light Blast!"

"Dark Arrow!"

"Holy Nova!"

"Dark Domain!"

"Blessing of Light!"

"Dark Sacrifice!"

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle under the city wall...

One moment it was shiny, the next it was dark!

As they fought, the Archbishop raised his staff and prayed to the heavens. Suddenly, an angel wielding a long sword swooped down from the clouds, and behind the queen, the motionless skeleton dragon suddenly lifted its head, spread its wings, and charged towards the angel.
