Chapter 951: Chapter 596, Bone Giant_2
The power of the Viscera jar.
In the distance, seeing the Bone Giant poking its head out again and regaining its original state, everyone understood.
This was the power of the Viscera jar.
Odys had equipped the Bone Giant with a Viscera jar of no low rank.
At this moment…
Over Black Horn City, the whistling sound of something tearing through the air was heard once more.
...
Looking up, they saw Bone Dragons bursting out from the clouds overhead, diving straight down towards them.
Odys, looking up, ordered coldly, “Activate aerial defenses, release the Skeleton Vultures.”
On the city walls, on the rooftops of buildings.
Covers were flung back to reveal the anti-aircraft devices below.
The number was terrifyingly high.
Having known about the enemy’s Bone Dragons, how could Odys be unprepared?
Apart from recruiting aerial units within the city, he also purchased a large number of anti-aircraft devices from the Trade Alliance.
All of this was to counter the attack of the Bone Dragons.
When Odys gave the command,
The various machines standing by began to creak as they turned.
The sound of bowstrings twanged, and anti-aircraft bolts, like javelins, shot out swiftly.
Firing towards the direction of the Bone Dragons.
Bang Bang Bang!!
The bolts struck the Bone Dragons, piercing through their dragon armor and embedding into their bodies.
And the Bone Dragons, which had been diving down, no longer continued their aggressive dive, but instead changed direction and retreated towards the outside of the city.
Escaping toward the rear.
As for the Skeleton Vultures that had been released, they had just taken to the sky when they lost their targets.
Flapping their wings, they landed back in the city to stand by.
Odys was stunned.
The Bone Dragons’ retreat was too decisive, it didn’t seem like an attack, but more like a probing action.
Rustle Rustle!!
Just then, in the sky, a group of skeletons, made up of both Skeleton Vultures and Skeleton Giant Bats, charged at the city from all sides.
Odys, without time to think, sent the Skeleton Vultures up again to meet the attack.
Both sides’ flying units collided like two dense mists in the air.
Amidst the grating sound of bone being crushed.
Broken bone corpses fell from the sky.
Covering the entire battlefield.
The battle continued relentlessly.
On the city walls, various heavy objects were continuously thrown downward, while Bone Giants occasionally poked their heads out, swinging their iron chains to scatter any enemies attempting to climb and converge.
In the air, aerial units from both sides were entangled in relentless combat.
Broken bones fell like raindrops.
The Bone Dragons began to circle the area, intermittently releasing breaths of Dragon Breath.
Clearing the enemies on the walls.
Both sides’ units fought tirelessly, prolonging the duration of the stalemate.
In the rear of the Blood Clan army,
Amanda’s gaze was fixed on the battlefield as Dong Jiayue reported the messages from the other two fronts beside her.
The Bone Dragons’ several probes had not brought forth any new aerial units.
She then ordered, “Send the Aerial Ships into the battlefield, maintain the distance, and cover the city walls with firepower.”
There was no need to pass the order through a messenger.
“Understood.” Dong Jiayue immediately opened the Book of City Lord and passed on the command.
Before long,
From the rear of the three directions in the sky, one massive yet slow Aerial Ship
Started appearing within the sightline of both factions.
Once arrayed in the planned formations,
Boom Boom Boom!!
Flames suddenly erupted in the sky,
Shellfire fell from the heavens, tracing arcing trajectories, hammering into the battlefield.
In an instant,
The city walls burst apart, and swathes of troops were blasted to pieces.
Even the Bone Giants on the field endured serious injuries under the barrage.
Sheltering behind the city walls, they slowly recovered from their wounds.
The ordinary Undead in the area, or some that acted as team leaders,
Were directly obliterated by the concentrated shelling.
“Where are the anti-aircraft crossbows? Shoot those balloons in the sky!” Odys grabbed a nearby Undead operating a device and roared loudly.
The Undead quickly adjusted the device, firing at the targets straight ahead.
Thick crossbow bolts raced forward but vanished in the night sky, leaving no trace.
“My King, we’re out of range, they have calculated the distance,” said the Undead.
The shells fell from the sky, which required even more distance.
The enemy apparently had everything calculated, which allowed the Aerial Ships to enter the battlefield.
Filled with Rage, Odys pushed the Undead in front of him and continued to bellow, “Send out the Skeleton Vultures, tear those Aerial Ships to shreds.”
In the sky, the Skeleton Vulture changed direction, attempting to circumvent the entanglement with the Skeleton Vulture and Skeleton Giant Bat ahead.
To strike at the Aerial Ships in the rear.
But the opposition would not let them get away.
Still firmly entangled.
Meanwhile, the cannons on the airship never ceased firing.
The dense barrage of cannonballs constantly poured into the city.
…
Below the city, in the dim underground tunnels.
Meatfist and others had already entered the drainage pipes beneath Black Horn City through the secret passages outside the city.
As part of the Royal Palace’s drainage system, it was incredibly vast and complex.
Essentially covering every area of the city.
Even the Undead of a Troll’s size like Meatfist could move around normally inside it.
Every so often, a grey-haired rat would scurry past them.
Though Odys had maintained the Kingdom with hardly any living humans.
But in these sewers, there was a surprising abundance of small animals.
The Undead did not need food, so what were these small animals in the sewers living on?
Meatfist, together with fifty Bound Spirit Guardians and three hundred Skeleton Warriors, was moving swiftly through the tunnels.
The shaking of the ground from the battle above made the underground pipes also start to teeter on the brink of collapse.
The ceiling continuously shed small stones.
Some places had even collapsed.
After continuing to advance for half an hour.
“Found it,” Meatfist said.
Several of them had reached the end of the road and discovered ladders leading upward.
Meatfist led a group of Skeletons up the stairs.
Pushing aside the concealed stone slab, they emerged in a deserted courtyard.
And in front of the courtyard was the grand and magnificent Royal Palace.
However, at this moment, the place was deserted, not even a single guard in sight.
Everyone climbed out of the tunnels.
Meatfist opened the map he’d brought, determined their location, and then said,
“Let’s go to the Viscera Museum.”
The team of a hundred exited the Royal Palace, threading through the streets in the dead of night.
From time to time, groups of Undead hastened past them, but no one paid them any attention.
Gradually, Meatfist and the others grew less fearful and boldly made their way to their destination.
The Viscera Museum, an important structure for the Undead faction,
Was not far from the Royal Palace, just through two streets.
And then they saw the Viscera Museum, guarded by the Bound Spirit Guardians.
The number of guards was not large, only amounting to about ten.
Meatfist led his group and strode confidently towards them.
The Undead guards immediately asked, “What are you doing here?”
Meatfist replied, “Potential enemies may have infiltrated the city, our king has sent us to reinforce the guards.”
The Bound Spirit Guardians looked taken aback.
Examining the newcomers’ armor, which seemed somewhat different from their own, they asked again,
“Where are you from? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”
Bang!
With one punch, Meatfist crushed his skull, and the few Bound Spirit Guardians pounced instantly.
Using the noise of the cannon fire outside, they killed all the opposing Undead.
Once they had cleaned up,
Meatfist continued, “Some of you, put on their clothes, stand guard outside, and don’t let anyone approach.”
“Yes!” Ten Bound Spirit Guardians began to don their armor.
Just like the few Undead before, they stood guard around the Viscera Museum.
The rest hid in a nearby corner.
Meatfist, along with a few others, entered the Viscera Museum.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw the Corpse Witch and funeral Priests standing inside.
“Are you the Blood Clan attacking the Great Cemetery?” the leading Corpse Witch asked.
Meatfist didn’t respond but signaled to someone on the side.
The Bound Spirit Guardians swiftly went inside, checking each room and, after confirming there were no enemies, retreated to Meatfist’s side.
Instead of answering the question, Meatfist directly asked, “Who goes by the name Arlene?”
All of the Undead displayed confusion.
The leading Corpse Witch re-examined the opposing Troll Undead, figuring out that the newcomer wasn’t one of their own creation,
And then asked curiously, “You know me?”
“So, you are Arlene then?” Meatfist observed the other carefully.
Arlene replied, “Yes.”
Meatfist went on, “Amanda is attacking the city, and she sent me to find you.”
Arlene was startled, while the other funeral Priests were also frozen in place.
“You’re lying,” Arlene stated.
“Do you think I need to lie to you when I come in here? Are all the Corpse Witches here so unwise?”
