The protection of a True God? Mortals didn't use such things on the battlefield. Limited by the basic rules of the world, it was impossible for a God to directly interfere.
The elves' Forest Guardian God? He had already used his life to show the consequences of breaking the rules.
But for the brave warriors who fought to protect their tribe, this was more than enough.
The mortal Mist King Roland announced their glory, while the heavenly Wumianzhe announced that their heroic deeds would be recognized by the world. Even if they died, even if they fell into the River Styx, as long as their glory existed, this was more than enough for the true warriors of the north.
And for the beastmen, this was basically asking for their lives. Perhaps the protection of a God was illusory, but when it was truly proven, it would be fatal.
"What will he do? Will he let the God of Law's church participate in the battle? Or will he personally intervene and send down divine punishment? "
Especially since the beastmen's original Guardian God, the War God, had already perished in the last Holy War. Without any checks and balances, they were even more afraid of a True God's interference.
"It's no longer the time to hide. Lund, send your main force. Kagra, your blue-feathered harpy tribe and my Blood Axe tribe are mixed together. Our warriors lack aerial cavalry and spellcasters to protect them. Hamar, Sostero, don't let your brave Knight regret his actions on the edge of the battlefield. Even though they're dismounted, they're still our most elite warriors. Our city climbing warriors lack the leadership and command of elites. "
The tribe leaders who were named all nodded silently. Although they were strong and powerful as they occupied the highest ranks of the allied army, they had always been avoiding the fate of having their tribesmen serve as frontline cannon fodder. But when it came time to truly put their lives on the line, they would throw in all their blood.
"Get rid of him in two days! Sound the war drums, I'll personally go into battle! "
The Blood Axe Tribe leader slammed his fist on the conference table. The shattered sandbox of the city seemed to be announcing the city's fate. At this moment, this beastman king, who was more like a merchant than a king, finally displayed his beastman vigor.
The heavy snow came and went from time to time, but the temperature never went above zero. This damned weather could freeze the exposed organs directly.
The night had already darkened, but the number of Beastmen surrounding Red Maple City's walls did not decrease. On the contrary, with the return of the Wolf King's army, the number of Beastmen attacking the city increased once again. Among them, there were even more Wolf Riders, known for their agility and prowess in battle.
Hundreds of large bonfires served as temporary torches and heating devices. When the orcs realized that there wasn't enough wood, they threw the precious books and art pieces they had plundered into the bonfires as if they were worthless firewood. Meanwhile, in the distant orc camp, the unique sounds of the orcs' rough singing and dancing and war drums could be heard.
"Damn orcs! They don't even care about us. "
In fact, this was the exact opposite of the angry humans. This proved that the beastmen had already seen the humans before them as brave warriors like themselves. They sacrificed their ancestors on the Battlefield of Honor to comfort the souls of the fallen warriors. At the same time, it also meant that they were sacrificing their tribesmen who were about to die in battle.
In the eyes of the Beastmen who worshiped the War God Horadis, dying in the Battlefield of Honor wasn't an unacceptable ending. If they died in an epic battle, it would be a blessing from the War God. And so, they sang the War God's name loudly as they calmly met their deaths. They longed for a great battle that would please their ancestors, the Valkyrie.
Of course, since Horadis had already fallen in the last Holy War, and the current War God Kalompas was a member of the Human God System, the prayers of the beastmen would never be answered. Their prayers were more like longing and gratitude to their ancestors. They thanked fate for giving them a glorious battlefield and a chance to challenge their own fate.
"If we win this battle, we can return to the Great Plains of Bianlua, where the beastmen originated from! It's said that it's inconceivably beautiful. After this battle, I can go back home and get married! "
In their eyes, the battle was already nearing its end. As long as they got rid of these humans who were obstructing them, they would only be one step away from completing the great work of their ancestors.
The first wave of charging beastmen finished making arrangements for their funeral and began to rush to the battlefield. After finishing their sacrifices, they believed that their souls would forever accompany their tribe. On the battlefield, they didn't fear any sacrifices.
"We admit that these northern humans are brave warriors. Cowards should die in shame. This will be a great battle where only one side can survive! Die without fighting! "
War drums and desolate horns continuously sounded from every corner of the city walls. Songs of praise for war were constantly being sung. This time, the beastmen had been attacking for more than ten hours.
Due to the obstruction of the city walls, the siege easily became a bloody and cruel meat grinder. Since there were only a few warriors on the frontlines at the same time, under the attacks of the spellcasters and mage towers, this represented endless cannon fodder and sacrifices.
It was already midnight, and the beastmen had more than 120,000 soldiers. The beastmen had long since surrounded this place. Even though the humans had the advantage in numbers and individual power, the humans had the city walls as their cover. This was still the most helpless meat grinder battlefield for the beastmen.
The defenders of the city didn't have it easy either. Under the cover of the aerial cavalry and the charge of various gigantic battle beasts, there would be beastmen warriors successfully climbing up the city walls at every moment. Even if they were quickly thrown back down again, the human defenders' sacrifices were destined to be many times greater than the beastmen's.
The first layer of the city walls had already fallen into chaos. An entire division would be devoured in the blink of an eye. The first layer of the city wall had already fallen into chaos. If a division went up there, it would be devoured in the blink of an eye.
Finally, the first layer of the city walls, which had been constructed by earth mages using "Stone to Mud" and "Stone Sculpting" spells, began to shake. The beastmen army also suffered significant losses from the city defense equipment and the defenders.

"Die! Beastman butchers! "
A longsword glowing with silver light sliced through the beastman general's defenses, and the silver light pierced through his body and took his life. Renée unhesitatingly kicked him off the city walls, and the screaming beastman general finally met his end.
"Your Highness Renée!"
"Knights, clear the city area and throw down all the beastman corpses. Pay attention to the archers. The next wave of attacks is coming. Hurry, hurry, hurry! "
Renée's tender voice had an irresistible majesty to it. The magical power of war to make people mature was always something to sigh at. After experiencing the tempering of this war and experiencing countless blood and sacrifices, the cruel burden and responsibility made Renée, who had originally been a recruit, mature. She was now a mature commander who could take charge of an area.
"Your Highness Renée, all the beastmen's mammoths have rushed out. The command center has ordered us to abandon the first layer of the city walls and retreat to the inner layer!"
"Retreat? You're telling me to retreat? You actually dare to tell me to retreat? Look at this battle, look at those brave warriors who sacrificed themselves. We haven't even collected the corpses of our warriors yet, and you dare to tell me to retreat? "
The messenger was an old acquaintance of Renée. Even though Renée was right in front of him, as Ainro's second-in-command, he knew that he couldn't retreat at this time.
"You think I want to retreat? I also want to f * cking fight to the death against those beastmen. Our main army has suffered even worse losses. Our earth mages have already used up all their mana, and the city walls are already being destroyed. If this continues and the beastmen break through, it'll be a meaningless massacre. Retreating to the inner layer is the only solution. "
"Alright, you can all retreat. I'll show you the confidence of the People of the Mist. Timlad, is the Train King ready yet? If you delay any longer, I'll chop off your head! "
"… Currently doing a full self-inspection. We'll be able to log in in five minutes. But we can't fight for more than ten minutes, or else we might self-destruct! "
"Alright, Borealis, send me the titan warriors from afar first! Let our allies hold on for a while longer. "
When the beastmen's mammoths charged forward again, the city walls were on the verge of collapsing. Countless beastmen swarmed up the city walls, and just as all the city walls were about to collapse, the Knight Princess finally gave the final order. Donglan revealed his secret trump card.
The gigantic airship started moving again, and the cabin door opened. The prototype Roland Titan Warriors flew out together with the rocket. As experimental machines, they had completed their historical mission and were about to explode with their final glory on the battlefield.
* Boom! *
Five Titan Warriors landed among the beastmen on the city walls. The beastmen blankly stared at the gigantic beastmen in front of them. The tallest and strongest elephant beastmen only reached the Titan Warriors' calves. Since they couldn't carry any heavy equipment, they were no threat to the iron giants.
The berserk iron giants stomped on the beastmen with their feet and slapped them with their palms. These unexpected creatures from the Underground finally revealed their true nature — merciless war machines!
"You beasts! This is all for my son! He's not even ten years old yet! "
The enraged mecha crushed the beastmen in front of it.
In the cabin, the enraged volunteer pilot struggled to operate the mecha. The pendant on his chest was a portrait of his family. But now, he was the only one left. He had also lost his left leg, and could only use this method to take revenge for his hometown.
The red warning lights in the cockpit were flashing continuously. From the very beginning, this Titan mech had already reached its final moments. While overloading the mech gave it great combat power, it also turned it into a super explosive that could explode at any moment.
"Cham, hurry up and come out! It's about to explode! Hurry up and activate the rocket chair! "
He ignored the Borealis command center's words. He noticed a tall centaur wielding a giant halberd killing soldiers. This centaur was a monster that was more than three meters tall. With a single slash from its halberd, a large number of soldiers died.
"Hamar! Hamar the Butcher! I finally found you. "
Wasn't this the same butcher who had massacred his own hometown?
The roaring mecha crushed all the beastmen in its way. Even though the mecha was covered in beastmen, even though someone was using a battle axe to attack the cockpit, Hamar didn't slow down at all.
But …
"Foolish piece of metal! Weak humans can only rely on such useless things. "
Every beastman tribe leader was at least at the Legend rank. Hamar, who was famed for his outstanding combat power among the tribe leaders, wouldn't be easy to deal with. Hamar was even taller than the Titan Warrior mecha when he jumped.
"Slash!"
The halberd smashed down, and a giant golden arc brought about death. Along with it, the cockpit and half of the mecha's body also exploded.
The sound of an explosion came from behind him. He didn't even look at Hamar, intending to continue his slaughter. However, he never expected that the already collapsed mecha would suddenly reach out with its only remaining handle and grab onto Hamar.
The proud centaur tribe leader angrily roared. In front of this terrifying brute force, even its metal arm began to tremble.
"Only the weak need to rely on such foolish external objects. We beastmen have our own physical bodies, and that's enough for us to dominate the world! We're the high-level species that should occupy the center of the world! "
In the shattered cockpit, Cham, who was covered in blood, was still fiercely biting down on the control stick with his only remaining teeth. He smiled at the gigantic centaur tribe leader's angry roars and mocking laughter. That was because the red warning light had reached its final moment. The Roland Titan Warrior's engine was on the verge of exploding.
"Is that so? Heh heh, then I'll show you the determination of a weak human … See you in heaven, Aisha! Nini! Daddy has taken revenge for you! "
Cham let go of his bloodied teeth and viciously smashed his chin against the red button. In the end, an explosive red light covered everything, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose up from the city wall.
"Impossible …"
These were the proud centaur warriors' final words. The weak humans had used their lives to prove their courage. At the very least, they wouldn't need to die alone.
"Lord Hamar has died in battle! The centaur tribe has begun to flee! "
"Tribe Leader Bassoro has died in battle!" The attack on the north gate had failed. All of the siege weapons had been destroyed, and reinforcements were unable to arrive.
"Lord Elotheon has died in battle! The attack on the north gate to the south gate has failed! "
"Military Advisor Wen has died in battle! The south gate has been routed! "
To the tribe leader, who was still bathing his wounds, every piece of bad news was like a bolt from the blue. But what could they say? Were they supposed to say that their comrades were exaggerating, that they were strong on the outside but weak on the inside? Actually, it would be quite difficult for them to even leave the battlefield alive against the humans' furious counterattack. If that terrifying red mushroom cloud had exploded right next to them … Heh heh, hadn't the powerful Hamar already shown the results?
"Hamar, what a pity. Treat his family well. "
After a while, Almont could only sigh and shake his head as he continued cleaning his weapons. Now wasn't the time to be sentimental. Who knew if he would be next?
"Cham, what a pity. Treat his family well … Does he have no family left? Then let's make rebuilding his home the highest priority. "
At the same time, Renée also sighed when she learned that only two out of the five pilots had returned, and that Cham hadn't even activated his rocket seat.
"Timlad! Dammit, are you still not done yet? I'm going to shoot you out of here like a gnome cannon! "
"It's coming! We definitely can't let the Train King overheat! Otherwise, this explosion will be on our side! His energy source is at least ten times that of a Roland Titan! The entire city wall will be destroyed! "
The floating battleship finally landed. The cabin door opened, and an even more terrifying war machine walked out. Just its appearance caused all the warriors to tremble in fear.
"Just what kind of monster is this!? The people of Donglan have gone insane! "
