Li Huailin led his troops through the residential area of the nobles and arrived at the final barrier, which was the walls of the palace. Compared to the outer and inner city walls, the walls of the palace were relatively weaker. This was because they were generally not used. If the enemy really managed to reach the palace walls, there was no way to turn the situation around. At most, they would only be able to buy time.
By the time they arrived, Li Huailin had more than 3000 people by his side. In fact, the number of people who had defected to Li Huailin was not just limited to these. Most of the guards were still searching for Fantine's men outside, and those who had defected to Li Huailin were the ones who had just defected.
With 3,000 people here, they could basically decide the overall situation. However, Li Huailin's side was still met with resistance. At the entrance of the palace, they were blocked again. However, this time, there were fewer people. It seemed like there were only about a hundred people blocking their way. Of course, the other party was on top of the walls, while the 3,000 people were below.
"Your Excellency, these people shouldn't be from the Royal Guards." A person wearing the armor of the Royal Guards walked to Li Huailin's side and said. Of course, at this time, everyone was still used to calling Li Huailin Your Excellency. One reason was because they were close, and the other was because Li Huailin hadn't ascended to the throne yet. In other words, only the direct subordinates of Li Huailin called Li Huailin Your Majesty.
"Then they are Fantine's people." Li Huailin nodded. These people would not surrender. After all, they would die if they surrendered. Besides, because of the rebellion, their entire families had been killed, so there was no such thing as a family dying. Therefore, these people had nothing to fear. Needless to say, this battle was definitely going to happen.
Of course, Li Huailin was too lazy to fight this kind of battle. What was the point of fighting 3,000 people against 100 people? Even if the enemy had the advantage of higher ground, the difference in numbers was too great. Moreover, the walls of the palace did not need any siege tools. They could just climb up easily. Li Huailin was too lazy to command them.
"Go." Li Huailin simply said one word, then waited to watch the show, but he didn't expect the situation to be a bit unexpected.
"Boom!" A huge explosion suddenly occurred on the left side of Li Huailin. The entire ground shook, and Li Huailin almost lost his balance. Li Huailin looked in the direction of the sound, and what he saw was a huge black pit. There was still black smoke coming out of it, as if something had exploded. Of course, all the soldiers near the explosion site were blown away by the explosion. Li Huailin estimated that the explosion had killed close to a hundred people. He didn't know what could cause such a large explosion.
Naturally, the surrounding soldiers were also shocked by the sudden explosion. They didn't know what was going on, they were all dumbfounded. However, someone immediately shouted, "It's a magic crystal cannon!"
"Look up!" Another soldier pointed to the top of the city wall and shouted. Sure enough, everyone looked up and saw the huge cannon that had just been fired. Of course, this thing also existed in the Main City of the Human Race, but it was usually installed on the outer city wall. When did it move to the Imperial Palace's city wall? No one knew.
The magic crystal cannon was the biggest weapon in a defensive battle. Although its offensive ability was limited (because it was too heavy to carry), it was invincible in a defensive battle. This thing could kill or injure a lot of enemies with a single shot. Even if there were more than 3,000 people on the Imperial Palace's side, they still wouldn't be able to withstand a few shots from this thing.
Facing this thing, the soldiers were a little flustered. As mentioned before, the soldiers who surrendered to Li Huailin were either the Royal Guards or the City Guards. Strictly speaking, they were only soldiers who hadn't been to a formal battlefield. Strictly speaking, they could only be regarded as armed police. In the face of the magic crystal cannon, they were really a little afraid.
"Everyone, don't worry. This thing takes a long time to reload. It has already been fired once, so it still needs to cool down and reload. Let's take advantage of this time to attack!" Someone in the crowd shouted. It seemed like this guy was more knowledgeable and knew the weakness of the magic crystal cannon. Indeed, a magic crystal cannon wasn't very scary. The gap between attacks was very long, and it could only serve as a deterrent. If they weren't deterred by it, there wouldn't be a problem.
It was a pity that if they were from the 1st or 2nd Division, they would have already pulled themselves together and charged forward. The problem was that these people weren't. Although someone suggested the correct method, they weren't able to organize themselves because they were rather disorganized.
"What a f * cking headache." Li Huailin facepalmed. It was such a simple battle, but they were really on the verge of turning the tables. These Royal Guards were really … useless. Fortunately, they weren't his soldiers.
Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to organize them. He looked at Melghis, who nodded and took out a spear from his back …
"Hey, hey, why is it this move again?" Li Huailin knew what the other party wanted to do when he saw the other party's posture. "Can't you use a less destructive move?"
"Don't worry, I can control my strength," Melghis said casually. Then, he swung his hand, and the spear flew out. Of course, it was aimed at the magic crystal cannon on the city wall. Of course, this time, Melghis didn't use his full strength. If it was the same as the last time, the entire palace would probably be affected. This time, Melghis didn't use much strength. He controlled it to the extent of destroying the magic crystal cannon and then collapsing the city wall.
The spear flew in an arc toward the magic crystal cannon. It flew straight toward the muzzle of the magic crystal cannon as if it was accurately guided. Just as it was about to hit the cannon, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the magic crystal cannon. Then, there was a loud "ding". The other party actually used a sword to block Melghis's spear. Of course, the block wasn't very smooth. Although he didn't use his full strength when he threw the spear, it was still a Saint-tier attack. The other party only grunted, and then his entire body was sent flying back by the impact. Even the giant sword in his hand was shaken off.
"Oh?" Melghis was slightly stunned. Although he didn't use his full strength, this attack wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand. He asked with some interest, "Who is this person? He can actually withstand my attack?"
"His name is Ames." Of course, Li Huailin knew him. He had seen him many times. "I think he used to have the title of God of War."
"Oh, I think I've heard of this name before." Melghis nodded.
"Can we not talk about this first? That cannon …" Li Huailin pointed at the magic crystal cannon above. Because of Ames' delay, the magic crystal cannon here seemed to be ready again.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here …" Melghis couldn't change his habit of showing off. Before he could finish speaking, the magic crystal cannon fired a second shot. Moreover, the direction of the shot seemed to be in Li Huailin's direction.
Li Huailin was fine. Although it was a magic crystal cannon, it shouldn't be able to kill him because it would trigger the death substitution effect. Although it was a cannon, it should be able to kill the person who fired it. After all, it was just a weapon. It was the same as when someone used a bow and arrow to shoot at Li Huailin, they would be shot to death by Li Huailin.
However, although Li Huailin was fine, the serious problem now was Nemoya. This guy was too fragile. It would be troublesome if he died after taking a shot. Li Huailin didn't know if he could find a similar demon beast. This resource was gone just like that.
Li Huailin was about to summon Millet to block the cannon, but someone was faster than him. A strong wind flashed beside him, and Melghis had already rushed out. He was directly in the direction of the magic crystal cannon. At the same time, his body flashed with Combat Energy, and he opened his hands to block the cannon.
There was a strange buzz. There was no big explosion as expected. Everyone looked over in surprise and saw that Melghis actually hugged a ball of light with both hands. It looked like a cannon. Before anyone could be surprised, Melghis twisted his body and threw the ball of light in his hands toward the magic crystal cannon.
With a swoosh, the white ball of light flew back the way it came and hit the magic crystal cannon. Then, there was another violent explosion. The earth shook. When everyone reacted and looked over, they realized that not only had the magic crystal cannon been destroyed, but even the walls of the palace had collapsed. Of course, the people standing on it had been blown away.
"Hmph …" Melghis landed on the ground and shook his head. He seemed very proud.
"Hey, are you okay?" Li Huailin asked kindly.
"How could I be okay?" Melghis asked curiously.
"But you are vomiting blood." Li Huailin pointed at Melghis's mouth.
"Really?" Melghis wiped his mouth. It was indeed full of blood. He wiped it slightly. "I'm fine. It's just a small matter. Wah …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Melgines spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Huailin: "…"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm just slightly injured," Melghis said immediately.
"Alright, you're just slightly injured, right? It shouldn't be a problem to deal with another empire's wargod, right?" Li Huailin pointed at a person who had just walked out of the collapsed wall. Of course, that person was Ames.
"I …" Melghis almost cursed, but he immediately said, "It's fine … Leave it to me."
