Chapter 949: Chapter 595, Attacking Black Horn City (Additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch ‘Tracks of Angels’)_3
They calmly faced the great battle that was about to come.
The vast army outside the city was drawing ever closer.
The ground began to tremble non-stop with the sound of marching footsteps.
The enemy’s Skeleton army surged forward like a floodwater.
They were advancing relentlessly, growing closer and more distinct by the moment.
You could see the red marks left on their armor and the Siege Ladders interspersed among the Skeletons.
...
Perhaps the enemy was so eager to attack that they had not spotted the Siege Towers or other heavy siege equipment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
The Arrow Towers began their assault, with arrows shooting out from the towering structures.
Landing amidst the dense ranks of troops.
The effect was like throwing a stone into the desert; it made no difference at all.
The enemy continued to advance, reaching the second range of attack.
The Mage Towers began their assault.
Streams of dark energy flew out from the Magic Towers.
Crashing into the ranks of the Skeletons.
The magical bursts exploded, flinging nearby enemies into the air as bones scattered in all directions.
But the negative status effects of dark attributes had no impact on the ranks of the Undead.
“Archers ready!”
The generals bellowed their orders loudly.
The Skeleton archers on the city walls began to draw their bows, aiming down below.
“Fire!!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
A volley of arrows whistled down towards the enemies below.
Splintering and smashing into the hostile forces below with crackling sounds.
At the same time, the Skeletons outside the city also raised their shields high, warding off the dense volley of whistling arrows.
“Mages, prepare.”
The general shouted again, and the Undead Mages within the city began to conjure Magic.
One spell missile after another was hurled into the sky.
Tracing an arc over the city walls.
Banging loudly as it struck down in the midst of the enemy’s formation.
On the city walls, the Undead tried every possible method of attack in an attempt to slow the enemy’s advance.
Odys issued one order after another without pause.
But they had little effect on the massed forces of the enemy.
There were simply too many of them.
At that moment, Odys looked curiously down below.
He saw that all the attacking Skeletons had suddenly stopped in their tracks.
The next second.
The hands raised over their shoulders now held Thunderbolt spears, sparkling with lightning.
A shock ran through Odys’s heart.
Surely, they weren’t about to throw them.
Indeed, as soon as this thought occurred to him.
The massed ranks of the Undead hurled the lightning spears in their hands.
Whoosh!!
The whooshing sound of cutting through the air erupted as the dense mass of silver Thunderbolt spears were thrown toward the city from above.
The dark sky, like ink, was suddenly covered with a layer of silver firmament.
Blindingly splendid.
Odys yelled at the top of his voice, “Take cover, take cover!”
Crack crack crack crack!!
The sky full of Thunderbolt spears rained down, crackling as they smashed into various parts of the city.
Within the city, swathes of Skeletons were struck and fell.
The spreading arcs of electricity covered the entire area.
The same type of Thunderbolt spears were also being hurled at two other sections of the wall.
Clearly, the enemy had executed a unified battle plan, not individually planned by various commanders.
Odys was hit by a spreading arc of electricity.
Fortunately, the body of an Undead was also immune to the paralysis effect.
He immediately looked up to the front, the troops on the city walls and within had suffered heavy casualties.
“Damn it, this isn’t the work of the Blood Clan.”
As an Undead, he knew this must be the effect of a Viscera jar, and to attach such a Thunderbolt to the spears, they had to be at least of an orange or higher level.
How could the Blood Clan possibly own the Viscera Museum, let alone control the power of the Viscera jars?
The extensive deaths inside the city gave the enemy a chance to close in quickly.
The sound of footsteps below grew closer, and the trembling of the ground became increasingly violent.
“Quick, fill the gaps.”
Odys roared loudly, urging the soldiers to continue the Defense.
…
Outside the city, on the eastern side.
A low-lying area covered with rocks and boulders.
Meatfist led 50 Bound Spirit Guardians and 300 Skeleton Warriors.
They were following a narrow stone path, searching ahead.
Finally, a voice from the Bound Spirit Guardians came from up front.
“Lord Meatfist, we have found a stone door here.”
Meatfist quickly went over and examined it closely.
The stone door was well hidden and, due to the passage of time, covered with broken stones and wild grass.
If it weren’t for Amanda’s certainty that there was a secret passageway here,
it’s doubtful anyone else would have found this place.
After confirming the pattern on the stone door,
Meatfist kicked open the stone door, saying, “This is it, let’s go in.”
