#375 - Chapter 374: Fengye City Crisis (Part 2)
The shouts of battle were deafening.
The two legions under Karami were composed entirely of elites with rich combat experience, and their imposing aura alone was enough to inspire fear.
"Oh ho? Daring to charge like that, these hotheads probably don't know what cruelty is."
But Sol, standing on the city wall, showed no fear at all upon seeing this scene; instead, he was incredibly excited and eager to try.
"Then I'll leave this first wave of attack to you."
Alesia said, "Keep pushing the defensive formations back."
"No problem, I guarantee to give them a big one."
Sol took out a dwarven-exclusive communicator from his pocket and ordered into it, "Activate the giant pendulum hammer directly, and teach them a lesson."
"Understood!"
A loud roar came from the communicator.
Rumble!
The next moment, the ground far from the city suddenly shook violently, and then something broke out of the ground.
It was a giant hammer.
To be precise, it was a phantom of a giant hammer.
This was a mechanism buried underground in advance, containing the unique secret techniques of the dwarves, which erupted at this moment.
Rumble!
The hammer slammed down, and its powerful force instantly killed hundreds of people charging in the front.
"Truly powerful."
Alesia's eyes showed surprise. The members of this vanguard, who launched the attack, were all of considerable level, yet they were taken away by this hammer.
Although there was an element of surprise in it, in any case, the force of this hammer was even stronger than a high-level magic.
Rumble!
And there was more than one such mechanism.
The ground shook, and hammers broke out of the ground one after another, slamming down fiercely.
"Dodge! Dodge!"
Having witnessed how the front-line team was annihilated, the people in the rear were naturally very afraid of this hammer and became prepared.
In fear, they didn't dare to resist and retreated quickly.
"Mage Third Squad, defensive magic! Quick!"
At the same time, the leading chiliarch also responded and quickly issued instructions.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Defensive magic was deployed, but in a hurry, the power of these formations was not fully exerted, and the heavy hammer smashed down, causing the magic formations to shatter instantly.
However, this bought valuable retreat time for the people under the hammer.
"This power."
The people who escaped death looked at the dissipating hammer shadow, their hearts tightening.
Although the effect of these hammers was not as good as the first, they still caused hundreds of casualties.
The dwarves' methods are indeed bizarre.
"Knights, activate shields! Mages, provide enhancement buffs! Priests, prepare to heal."
"Keep charging!"
But the commander understood that the more this was the case, the more they couldn't stop.
In battles between the two sides, in addition to troop strength, momentum was also important.
A burst of energy, then decline, and finally exhaustion.
If this breath wasn't rushed through, the casualties later would be even greater.
Moreover, at the cost of the lives of hundreds of elites, the attack trajectory and methods of these hammers had been figured out, making them much easier to deal with.
"Charge!!!"
The vanguard reorganized slightly and launched another fearless attack.
"They're quite capable, they dare to come again?"
Sol was slightly surprised to see this. He didn't expect that the first line of defense had failed to scare the other side. It seemed that Karami's army was indeed capable.
"Unfortunately, your opponent is the great artisan dwarves!"
Immediately, Sol threw these surprises to the back of his mind. He roared, "Little ones, open fire!"
"Yes!"
The next moment, on the city wall, the heavy walls seemed to come to life, slowly opening.
Then, one dark cannon barrel after another stretched out from inside.
"Don't be stingy with the shells! Our Windleaf City has nothing else, but we have money!"
"Lord Yehan said when he left that we can spend these gold coins as we please as long as we're dealing with the enemy!"
"Give it to them hard!"
Sol couldn't contain himself and leaped to a cannon.
These cannons were called Vulcan Cannons.
Vulcan Cannons were not ordinary cannons in the usual sense, but rather magic-guided cannons carefully crafted by the dwarves, with amazing power.
Everyone who used them said they were good.
The only drawback was that the magic crystal consumption was expensive, and the cost of use was not cheap.
But with the current prosperity of Windleaf City, this was obviously not a problem.
Especially since the dwarves were not only good at forging, but also were all complete workaholics, able to work eighteen hours a day without stopping.
In just one month, the orders had already been scheduled for ten years later, and the accumulated wealth could be described as terrifying.
They had saved no small amount of magic crystals.
"All of you, die!!!"
Sol manipulated the Vulcan Cannon, the barrel lit up, the magic crystal melted and compressed in an instant, and finally formed a huge burst of energy that spewed out.
Rumble!
The fiery red energy beam ran through most of the battlefield, leaving no grass growing wherever it passed.
Its power was many times stronger than the giant hammer just now.
"Magister corps, full defense, full defense!"
For a time, Karami's troops were in chaos. The power of the Vulcan Cannon completely exceeded their imagination.
"The dwarves are indeed the ancient race most skilled at forging."
"Just relying on these methods, they have caused so much damage."
In the rear, Camila looked at the heavily casualties vanguard, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
He had never imagined this scene before.
"However, if this can be used by me, it will definitely be a huge help."
"Yehan, ah Yehan, you really brought me one surprise after another."
Karami chuckled, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes.
Then he whispered, "Then I'll have to trouble the two of you to take action."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, two mysterious figures in gray robes beside him disappeared in place and swept towards Windleaf City at high speed.
"Divine-level experts have taken action. I want to see if these magic-guided cannons alone can resist it."
Karami sneered.
Indeed, this wave of attacks, under the interference of the Vulcan Cannons, was completely defeated.
But…
Karami didn't care. Even if all the attacking troops were buried here, it wouldn't matter.
Because the real trump card was still behind!
Hundreds of thousands of troops were still rushing over, and the divine-level experts had not yet fully taken action.
It could be said that Windleaf City seemed to have the upper hand now, but that was only because it was still in the probing stage.
Once all the details were figured out, then the elites behind him, who couldn't see the end at a glance, would swarm up and completely capture the entire city.
After all, even the imperial capital couldn't last for more than half a day, let alone a small Windleaf City?
Chi la!
Just as Karami was calculating something.
Two mysterious divine-level experts took action. With a wave of their hands, two arcs of light fell.
And the landing point was exactly where the two Vulcan Cannons were located.
