Chapter 170 War, broken city
At some point, a large number of skeleton warriors had been prepared in the border city of the empire.
As soon as the war started, dark magicians drove hundreds of thousands of skeleton warriors and swept away. The sky was covered with skeleton warriors, all of whom were at least mid-level extraordinary beings.
There are also many skeleton commanders from the "River of the Dead". They have high-level combat power and good wisdom, and can carry out some simple commands on the skeleton warriors.
?Of course, if it were just like this, then the warriors of the Hundred Nations Alliance would not be too collapsed.
?It is true that they do not want to fight, but it is also true that they have rehearsed countless times and are always prepared for war.
They have imagined countless scenarios of invasion by the Evernight Empire and have long been prepared for war.
??Although it is a bit strange when the Eternal Night Empire brought the skeleton army over, they are also prepared to deal with the skeleton army.
??As we all know, the two attributes of light and darkness are mutually reinforcing, so the preparations for the Hundred Nations Alliance include a large number of light props.
But the premise of all this is that they are facing an army of ordinary skeletons.
The skeleton army roared, making a hoarse roar, stepping over the remains of its companions, and continued to move forward.
?Hum, boom, boom—
??However, it was useless. The number of the undead army was several times greater than theirs. They were not afraid of death and would self-destruct from time to time. Even though these warriors were rare elites, after resisting for a period of time, they were still overwhelmed by the skeleton army.
?Otherwise, according to the urine of those noble gentlemen, it would be nice to be given a knife.
?At the same time, behind the skeleton army, countless dark energy light pillars rose, and the sky changed again.
??The magic energy cannon fired continuously, and a beam of bright energy bombarded the skeleton army. Each round of shooting could cause considerable casualties.
At the center of the skeleton army, small suns lit up, and the surrounding skeleton warriors were instantly purified and turned directly into gray.
Light disappears and darkness returns.
??When the guard commander of Border City used a holy-level light scroll, Blazing Sun, to illuminate the entire battlefield, and when he saw the skeleton warrior wearing armor, his heart collapsed.
At the same time, in the sky, countless flying skeletons of giant beasts came overwhelmingly. Skeleton warriors jumped off their backs, landed directly on the city wall, and fought with the defenders on the city wall.
??The dazzling beam of light swept past. Under the illumination of light magic, the body of the skeleton warrior only resisted for a while and then began to rapidly disintegrate.
An army that can take on such a task is considered a good elite even in the Hundred Nations Alliance.
?However, even such a violent blow could not stop the advancement of the skeleton army.
Find your own way.
After all, we need to garrison the border city, and we may be attacked by the Evernight Empire at any time, so we have to be strong.
With an order from the general guarding the city, dozens of light magic towers were instantly activated. Bright pillars of holy light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire world. The momentum of the high-level magicians in the magic towers suddenly increased.
Armor?
??Boom, boom, boom——
This is because they have been under too much pressure recently.
As undead creatures, they do not have fear in their hearts.
The fire of the soul was extinguished, and the body was scattered on the ground, turning into ordinary bones again.
Large-scale light element strikes covered the entire battlefield.
“Launch.”
An explosion sounded.
Fighted all night.
The skeleton warrior roared crazily, and dark inscriptions lit up on his body.
The next second…
The Magic Tower has also been hit by light element attacks.
"kill!"
"put!"
“Kill, fight for my lord!” The undead leader riding a tall skeleton war horse roared angrily, waving a huge halberd, and the soul fire in his eyes flashed crazily.
On the city wall, a magic energy cannon lit up with golden light, and the next second, hundreds of light energy cannons were fired.
He has never heard of giving a skeleton warrior a complete set of equipment, and it is also gold-level equipment. Let alone seeing it.
Undead blast!
Even if the Hundred Nations Alliance is very wealthy, it is impossible for them to be so arrogant. Being able to equip ordinary soldiers with complete weapons and equipment is already their limit.
After suffering tens of thousands of casualties, the army of skeletons came to the city.
Then the skeleton death squads rushed forward and followed up, rushing directly to the city gate.
This is too arrogant.
With just one strike, tens of thousands of skeleton warriors fell to the ground.
?A **** fierce battle began. The soldiers of the Hundred Nations Alliance were very brave. Even though the city gate was blown open, they did not retreat and still resisted tenaciously.
Under the dual power of energy bombs and undead blasts, it only took hundreds of sixth-level skeleton warriors and three seventh-level super undead to blow a big hole in the solid city gate.
??The nearest border city was completely destroyed, and of course the undead army also paid the loss of nearly 130,000 skeleton warriors.
The Alliance of Hundreds of Nations was not much better, suffering losses of as much as 70,000. In the end, the generals who defended the city broke through with less than 20,000 remaining soldiers and ran out.
“Clean the battlefield, take care of your men, and do not disturb the residents in the city. In addition, let someone tell the whole city, telling them that this city belongs to the Eternal Night Empire, and everyone’s life is still the same, but they are not allowed to leave the city in the near future.”
The leader of the undead rode a skeleton war horse and slowly walked into the city. The first thing he did was to issue a few orders.
“Those who violate this rule will be killed without mercy!”
“As ordered, general.” The leader of a group of seventh-level undead, his eyes flashing green, replied very respectfully.
The undead clan has a stricter hierarchy, and those at the top have almost absolute control over those at the bottom.
??The residents in the city were all staying behind closed doors. Because the attack of the Evernight Empire was so sudden, everyone except that army was trapped here.
They hid in the room, listening to the noise outside, and shivering. Some of the bolder ones secretly peered through the windows and carefully observed the situation outside.
??When they learned that the city had fallen and that the invaders were an army of undead, each of them looked ashen and felt that the future was dark.
At least they can be reasonable with the human race, but the worst outcome is just to be enslaved.
Although it is very miserable to become a servant, at least you still have your life, and you may not have no chance to escape in the future.
??As for the undead tribe, they are probably not going to be turned into the same race...
?While the residents in the city were anxiously waiting for death to come, the announcement from the leader of the undead quickly spread throughout the city. This gave the already desperate residents a glimmer of hope again.
It’s not that they believe what the undead leader says, but they have no choice but to believe it.
??Although the increase in aura concentration has turned these residents into extraordinary warriors, it is really too much to think about using this to resist the undead army.
…
?In addition to this border city, the Evernight Empire also launched fierce offensives in several other places.
The territory of the Evernight Empire is very vast, and the border with the Hundred Nations Alliance is ridiculously long. Since it is a war, it is naturally impossible to focus on just one city.
?Soko City is also a city located on the border, but its location is relatively close to the northern continent.
?It occupies a relatively large area, and the buildings in the city are well-proportioned. Before the war, it had been the main city for transactions between the two sides, and its development was relatively prosperous.
?Compared with the cities on the Yongye Empire side, that is the main city.
The surrounding border cities are all built around it.
Speaking of which, the rise and development of Soco City into its current prosperous state has a lot to do with the Evernight Empire.
The first is trade. If merchants from both sides want to go to the other side, they need to pass through Soco City. This is undoubtedly a huge income.
The other is the support of the Hundred Nations Alliance. With the emergence of the Evernight Empire, no matter what the Hundred Nations Alliance thinks, the construction of border lines is inevitable.
?They need a wall, a "wall" that can withstand the Evernight Empire''s attack and buy them time to react.
? There is no doubt that Soco City is this "wall". Therefore, in the construction of Soco City, all parties have made strong contributions and those with money have contributed money.
?In just a few years, Soco City has been built into a first-class main city, and its prosperity is not even worse than that of the kings of some small countries.
As the main city located on the border, its importance can be imagined.
In other words, if the Evernight Empire wants to enter the northern continent, it must capture this city.
?Hence, when war started elsewhere, Soco City also ushered in its opponent, the Yongye Empire’s main army.
80,000 regular troops, with nearly 300,000 servants, surrounded the entire Soco city tightly.
Then he launched an attack directly.
?Huge beasts slowly walked out from behind, carrying magic cannons, and then bursts of cannons sounded.
??The black-armored army adopted the fighting method of the old days when a tiger led a pack of wolves. An elite man led many servants and pounced directly on them, very fiercely.
For today''s attack, the Evernight Empire has been preparing for a long time, and all kinds of special props are fully equipped.
Looking at Soco City, they didn''t even get any relevant information before this.
Prepare, I have always been prepared.
But their preparations were based on the standards of the Evernight Empire more than twenty years ago.
?At this moment, the intensity displayed by the Evernight Empire far exceeded their expectations. Hundreds of magic cannons fired simultaneously, so much so that the gunners on the city wall could hardly raise their heads.
They do have magic cannons, but in terms of power and range, they are inferior to the Eternal Night Empire.
?After years of research and development, the research institute of the Eternal Night Empire has even developed a holy-level magic cannon, which is a super cannon that theoretically has an eighth-level normal strike and a ninth-level super-limited strike.
?Although there are still many shortcomings, it is undeniable that they have indeed researched them.
?However, although it has been updated to the holy level, the cannons of the Evernight Empire are still mainly epic level.
It’s not that they haven’t fully mastered the legendary technology, but that the empire is also in the same predicament as those players at the beginning, short of money.
Legendary cannons are expensive in forging materials and expensive to use, so they are really unaffordable.
So they chose a simpler approach and updated the epic level. Today’s epic cannon has been updated to version 4.0.
Although it is not as good as the legendary level, its strength is far higher than the epic level.
Normal shooting has reached the weak seventh-level standard, and the super-limited strike has also been upgraded to twelve shots. If it is in full bloom, it can even fire an eighth-level strike. Although there is only one shot, it is powerful enough.
?Under the dark sky, the cannon sounded, flashing with dazzling light. The terrifying cannon hit the energy shield supported by the city wall, making a dull impact.
??The energy shield was crumbling under the bombardment, and even cracked, but it was repaired in the blink of an eye.
“What a violent bombardment. Only a few hundred guns could produce such a terrifying blow.”
When the city guard commander on the city wall saw this, he was immediately shocked. He didn''t expect the Eternal Night Empire''s bombardment to be so terrifying. He immediately ordered: "Increase energy output and don''t save resources."
??The magicians in the city did not hesitate. They gritted their teeth and immediately increased their output. They invested a large amount of elemental crystals into it and burned the elemental crystals in an almost extravagant way.
“Continue to attack.” The commander of Yongye’s army remained calm and ordered the gunners to continue bombarding and suppress the other side.
At this moment, both sides perfectly demonstrated the saying, "Every second of the war is burning money."
??Whether it is the artillery bombardment of the Evernight Empire or the elemental shield of Soco City, the resources burned every minute and every second are enough to make people collapse.
And when the two sides are at odds, it becomes even more terrifying.
??Eternal Night Empire''s intention is very simple, that is, to send the soldiers under the city wall, then open the city gate, and fight in close combat with the defenders of Soco City.
They had no intention in Soco City. The fierce shelling made it impossible for them to fight back. They could only watch the black-armored warriors below get closer and closer until they came under the city wall.
"Earthquake." The magician''s legion staff fell to the ground, and the ground trembled and undulated like waves, heading towards the city wall. The black-armored warriors in front seemed to have been prepared and immediately hid on both sides.
?However, when it came to about a hundred meters away from the city wall, the "wave" was intercepted as if it hit something hard.
?The black-armored warrior waiting nearby was immediately dumbfounded.
Where is the road?
"Oh, that''s it, I thought there was some way. I have already buried the "Pillar of the Earth" around the city, and I want to raise the earth slope. Just dream!" Looking at the black-armored army below, the guard The city general sneered with disdain.
?Then the next second, countless black shadows fell from the sky like a downpour.
?While the city defenders focused their attention on the ground troops, a legion had already arrived above the city with the help of flying monsters.
??They held special spears and jumped off the backs of the flying monsters.
Puff puff-
??Produced by the research institute, a spear specially designed to break the energy shield was pierced into the energy shield. In an instant, countless large holes appeared in the energy shield, and cracks spread to all sides.
“Increase the output and restore the city defense shield!” The generals who defended the city were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. The magicians squeezed themselves desperately, continuously inputting the power of elements, but they could not keep up.
The speed of destruction was much faster than the speed of repair. After a while, the energy shield was completely broken.
