The human ladders suggested by Gong Sun Liang worked as expected.
Using the bodies of their warriors as ladders, large groups of warriors stood on the top of the city wall and started fighting.
Gold Crow Clan warriors standing on top of the city wall and warriors standing on the human ladders had all formed orderly battle formations, fiercely bumping against each other like two bronze and iron walls. Long spears and halberds pierced into each other, machetes and heavy swords hacked against each other, axes and flails clashed against each other, and heavy tower shields pressed against each other, generating dazzling fire sparkles.
Weapons fiercely pierced into shields and armors. Defensive spell symbols lit up on the surfaces of shields and armors one after another, covering every single warrior with a faint layer of light. Weapons glowed with a dazzling light as well. Those weapons, which were enchanted with all kinds of destructive spell symbols, bumped against the defensive screen and let out ear-piercing noises.
The elites of both sides were about the same, and the difference in strength and cultivation was also about the same. However, everyone quickly discovered that something was wrong!
Weapons of Gold Crow Clan warriors fiercely hacked on the bodies of Gold Crow Clan warriors, but the shields and armors of Gold Crow Clan warriors were as solid as mountains. No matter how hard those Gold Crow Clan warriors attacked, the bodies of Gold Crow Clan warriors could only shake slightly because of the heavy impact, but their armors and shields remained perfectly unharmed.
When Gold Crow Clan warriors hacked on the bodies of Gold Crow Clan warriors with their weapons, the puffs of fire sparks and noises were much louder. Streams of fire dazzled and cracked the shields and armors of Gold Crow Clan warriors one after another. Once the weapons of Gold Crow Clan warriors started fighting, a large group of Gold Crow Clan warriors had their shields shattered and armors penetrated. Gold Crow Clan warriors killed a large number of Gold Crow Clan warriors.
Broken bodies fell from the top of the Heaven Stairway one after another, and many generals of the alliance army let out roars of shock and anger.
Obviously, the armors and shields worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors were much weaker than the armors worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors. Compared to the armors worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors, the armors worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors were as fragile as wooden boards.
Some Maguspriests with good eyesight discovered that the sparkling spell symbols on the armors and weapons worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors were not right. For example, a basic set of defensive spell symbols should be composed of thirty-six interconnected spell symbols. However, when the armors worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors were attacked, the number of spell symbols that lit up was obviously not enough!
If the number of spell symbols was not right, they couldn't form a complete set of spell symbols. Without an effective spell symbol formation, the defensive power of the armors would be greatly weakened.
Not only the number of spell symbols was not right, but what shocked Maguspriests was that they found quite a number of gravity spell symbols on the armors worn by Gold Crow Clan warriors. The only function of these gravity spell symbols was to increase the weight of armors!
This meant that a set of armors weighed three hundred kilograms, but after the gravity spell symbols were added, could be as heavy as a thousand kilograms!
No one would be stupid enough to add gravity runes to the armors of the soldiers. Even if there were, it would definitely be anti-gravity runes that would help reduce the weight of the armors so that the soldiers could wear heavier armors and provide greater defensive power!
An ordinary Gold Crow Clan warrior could only wear an inch-thick heavy armor. But with the addition of the anti-gravity spell symbols, some important parts of the armor might be thicker than an inch, and the defensive power of the armor would be raised by at least tens of times!
No one was stupid enough to add gravity spell symbols on the armors to make the armors heavier, because this would not do any good to the Gold Crow Clan warriors. Instead, it would only slow them down and largely weaken them!
"What's going on?" A High Sun Family commander abruptly grabbed a clansman standing beside him and tore off his armor. Grabbing the heaviest breastplate, the High Sun Family commander raised his sword and hacked down fiercely. Along with a loud cracking noise, the five-inch-thick breastplate was easily cut open. This seemingly heavy breastplate was actually four inches thick!
The five-inch-thick breastplate was actually only an inch thick!
Such a thin breastplate, added with those skimpy defensive spell symbols, how could this breastplate have any defensive power?
Those gravity spell symbols were used to increase the weight of the armors, to make the Gold Crow Clan warriors feel that this was a real set of heavy armors forged from pure alloys! So that no one would find out that these armors were actually all hollow!
"F * ck your mother!" Looking at the hollow breastplate, the generals of the allied forces were all shocked.
They raised their heads and looked at their warriors, who had been fighting against Gold Crow Clan warriors on top of the human ladders. Their weapons couldn't break the armors of Gold Crow Clan warriors, while a Gold Crow Clan warrior could easily penetrate the bodies of five to six Gold Crow Clan warriors with a slight poke of his spear!
"What the hell is going on?" Commanders were enraged. They grabbed sets of armors from their clansmen one after another and cut them open with their weapons. As expected, these shiny armors were all hollow inside!
Hollow, hollow!
A five-inch-thick breastplate was four inches empty, which was quite nice.
The shoulder guards, arm guards, knee guards and boots, which were not so important, were simply casted metal shells, with two thin layers of iron on the inside and the outside. These armors had no defensive power at all.
"These armors, are we going to let our clansmen wear these armors on the battlefield?" The generals of the various races went crazy, they all roared loudly.
These armors were all 'top-grade' made by Emperor Xun from the warehouse of the humankind, who had just ascended to the throne. Was this what they meant by top-grade?
Emperor Xun couldn't ascend to the throne without the support of the large human families and clans. Therefore, Gong Sun Family promised that Emperor Xun would provide a batch of armaments from the treasury of the alliance of human clans to arm private armies for Emperor Xun's clans!
This time, all armaments for the allied force in Yao Mountain territory were provided by Emperor Xun, from the treasury of the alliance of human clans! But, the so-called top-grade armors were all hollow!
"Emperor Shun would never do such a thing... Nothing like this has ever happened before... These armaments..." Commanders stared at Gong Sun Lang, who was supervising the battle from the rear, with burning eyes.
Gong Sun Lang had been grabbing Gong Sun Liang and yelling, "My brother, you killed me! Gong Sun Xiong, damn it, he's not my brother, he's my enemy! Where did these armors come from? How did they come from? "
Gong Sun Liang bared his teeth, looked at Gong Sun Lang, and said, "Before the expedition to Yao Mountain, Minister Xiong ordered all factories and workshops to work overnight... They're hollow, so it's easy to forge. They all came out in a day and two nights!"
Muffled thuds could be heard as a large group of commanders rushed to Gong Sun Lang with giant steps and encircled him.
"Gong Sun Lang, what's with these armors and shields?"
"Are you fooling us with these crappy things?"
"This is murder! Are you trying to kill all our people?"
"You have to give us an explanation! You have to give us an explanation!"
Gong Sun Lang showed the whites of his eyes. Abruptly, he howled and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
