The three kings went up to the top of the city wall and gathered at the west main gate. Three powerful undead were studying the corpses left by the Tanggulas people at the top of the city wall.
More than a hundred corpses were left in the room of the three kings, all decaying.
The soul fire in Zhu Di Keke's eye sockets jumped rapidly. He said hatefully, "These people's souls were already very weak. I don't know who destroyed them completely. How did the Pope control them? It's impossible to find out!"
"Let's just ignore the people of the Vatican and return to the Death Dimension!" Banchagana said coldly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, that contract …" Diabinas was very angry. Although the contract had been weakened, they would still suffer if they wanted to return to the Death Dimension. The result would be the same if they wanted to kill Salin and keep Ainphent alive. Even if Salin was in danger in front of him, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Judy, you are the smartest. Tell me, how much longer do we have to endure!" Banchagana's current temper was even more violent than Diabinas'. He couldn't control the change in his personality.
"My calculation ability is suppressed by the rules of this dimension, and I can't see the future clearly. Banchagana, if we don't take into account the time difference between the two dimensions, we will be free in at most ten years. "
"Ten years is too long!" Banchagana said irritably.
"It is too long. But before that, if Salin dies accidentally, we will not be punished, as long as we don't see it with our own eyes," Judy said in a low voice.
"That's easy. If we take the initiative to kill them, it won't be considered as avoiding the battle."
"No, with Salin's brain, if it was possible, he would have already sent people down. Don't you know? That woman called Trish is actually a Great Demon. "
"Great Demon!" Diabinas shouted. If they were in the Death Dimension, they wouldn't care about Great Demons. But in the Myers Continent, their power was suppressed, but Great Demons could exert their full strength. Once they were alone, Great Demons had the ability to destroy souls.
"It must be the Great Demon who destroyed the souls of these people!" Banchagana shouted.
"So, that Salin is going to attack us. Hmph, you two better be prepared at all times. If there's any sign of weakness in the contract, we'll kill Salin first, then Ainphent! "Judy's soul fire had stabilized, and his voice was abnormally calm.
Banchagana, however, was not going to let it go. He said angrily, "Why did you kill Salin first and not Ainphent? Could it be that you're afraid of the backlash of the contract and want us to be your guinea pigs? "
"Experimental subject? All three of us are guinea pigs. Hmph, Ainphent and Salin's battle strength are about the same, but Salin's subordinates are gradually gathering experts. If we kill Ainphent first, Salin will be prepared, and we won't have a chance at all! "
"If only Master were here," Diabinus said in a discouraged tone. But neither Judy, Coco, nor Banchagana refuted this. If Shang Lan was here, Salin and the people around him would only need a finger to flatten them. Why would they let the three of them suffer like this?
For more than a year, the three kings had been doing hard labor. Without the three kings, it would take at least ten years to build such a large city. What was even more infuriating was that the foundations of some of the buildings were piled up with boulders weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. The three kings had to show their true forms in order to move them.
As the strongest experts in the Undead Plane, the three kings had to personally build houses, and what they did was the most unskilled labor. They had long since hated Salin and the others.
At the same time, Judy, Coco, and Coco also coveted Metatlin City. If they could take this city as their own and summon a large number of high-level undead, the three kings could completely settle down in the Myers Continent. They could even open a huge channel to continuously obtain a large amount of undead energy, further improving their strength, and counteracting the suppression caused by the rules of the plane.
The expeditionary army did not immediately send in their main forces, but their attacks became more frequent, and their attack methods also changed.
The steel arrow carriages changed their arrows to slightly lighter ones, and they were all scattered arrows, exerting pressure on the infantry at the top of the city wall. More low-level mages were mixed in with the soldiers, approaching the city wall and extinguishing the fire below the city wall. The soldiers attacking the city also began to equip shields to protect the mages. Now, they no longer concealed the position of the mages.
The counterattack at the top of the city wall immediately became sharp. Salin did not hesitate to order one-sixth of the catapults in front to launch, making sure to destroy at least half of the steel arrow carriages. The steel arrow carriages were only five hundred meters away, and the casualties caused by them were not small.
Hundreds of burning magic stones fell, and the mages at the top of the city wall calculated the landing point. The apprentices operating the catapults in the city quickly adjusted the angle and the output power of the magic cores on the magic catapults.
The attack range of the magic catapults was up to five kilometers, but Salin did not let the catapults attack the enemies further away. Such a close range throw would make it difficult for the enemies to calculate the position of the magic catapults. With this order, the catapults began to show their power. Huge stones flew across the sky and fell on the enemy's crossbow positions.
Even the strongest steel had a limit. After a dozen rounds of bombardment, a quarter of the steel arrow carriages were smashed. The expeditionary army, on the other hand, couldn't allow the arrow carriages to gather in the open because the city had already adjusted their angle and was guarding the main gate tightly.
The scattering of the steel arrow carriages immediately lost their power, and could only suppress the two sides. But Salin's city wall was different from others. The ten meter wide passage at the front was easy to attack, and the buildings at the back were basically impervious to arrows. The mobilization of troops at the top of the city wall could be carried out in the passage.
Tanggulas's army had five thousand men in one regiment, and five regiments made up a corps of twenty-five thousand men. The main force assembled at the back and mobilized the siege equipment. The cannon fodder at the front still advanced toward the city wall in waves of five thousand men.
At this time, Salin could not relax. The catapults in the west were divided into five rounds, and each round threw hundreds of shrapnel. On average, they attacked once every five minutes.
The magic stone projectiles were not heavy, but they were lethal because each one had been refined by a mage. Salin's defensive method required a large number of stone projectiles, and the consumption was obviously also great. The reserves in the city could not defeat all the enemies.
The magic catapults could only kill about a thousand people in a charge of five thousand. If these one thousand people were rescued, they could return to the battlefield with divine healing, although their limbs would be completely smashed off.
The undead archers alone could not stop thousands of people climbing up the city wall. The archers among the mercenaries were sent out, mixed in with the undead, and shot down.
Many Tanggulas soldiers with arrows stuck in their bodies fought back at the top of the city wall. Their crossbows only had one arrow, and they would throw it at their feet after shooting it. The mercenaries did not have the time or courage to shoot, so they could only scatter it down.
On the west wall, there was a small gate every five hundred meters. The two small gates suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry, surrounded by battle puppets, charged at the infantry below. This cavalry did not care about the puppets' consumption, and passed through the infantry, limbs flying wherever the sabers in their hands passed.
Salin's calculations were correct. The enemy did not deploy heavy cavalry, not even light cavalry. These two groups of cavalry passed by each other, tearing apart the enemy infantry, and did not turn back. Instead, they charged directly into the city gate.
The enemy immediately increased their defense, and the heavy infantry on both sides pressed forward. If another gate opened, these heavy infantry would attack the city gate. If they could not attack, they could make the cavalry that left the city die outside the city, unable to return.
Salin's charge killed more than a thousand enemies. Seeing the appearance of the infantry, he immediately changed the angle of the catapults and launched a blanket attack on the heavy infantry.
The expeditionary army was going to fight tonight, and there was no point in keeping the magic stone bombs. Salin could at most last two days under such an attack, and the stone bombs in the city would be used up.
Salin even had the urge to drop the magic cannon to the west gate. If the magic cannon bombarded the center of the army, it might even kill the red-robed elder.
However, Salin did not want to expose the magic cannon. The enemy's next expedition would definitely be a pincer attack, and the magic cannon would only show its power when warships appeared on the sea.
It was easy for the magic cannon to kill a Divine Master, but difficult for a Golden Sword Saint. It was not worth it to expose it now. The real enemy was the Golden Sword Saint and two Magic Shooters of the Black Armor Army.
At exactly twenty-four hours, the army of the Holy See suddenly increased the frequency of their attacks. The soldiers swarmed forward, completely disregarding any casualties. Salin's catapults could not keep up with the speed. A five-minute round of shooting was too long for a distance of three miles.
The soldiers who had been blessed with divine spells rushed to the bottom of the city and frantically climbed up. Tens of thousands of people were smashed to death by the magic stone bombs, pierced by arrows, and ignited by the kerosene splashed down from the top of the city wall.
Behind these cannon fodder-like soldiers, the main army of the Tanggulas Empire moved. Hundreds of iron chariots pulled by giant puppets covered the soldiers as they charged up the city wall. These iron chariots were not siege hammers. There were no metal rams at the front, but these chariots were five meters tall and could cover hundreds of soldiers inside.
Pulled by the giant puppets, these chariots carried the heavy infantry of the main army to the bottom of the city wall. The magic stone bombs falling from the sky could not damage these iron chariots at all.
Seeing this, Salin secretly felt regretful. If Rex's metal Titan could be repaired and released into the city, these chariots would all be trampled flat, and not many people inside would survive.
The fixed archery tower on the top of the city wall immediately opened its closed shooting ports. Dozens of giant alchemy arrows shot out and hit a few puppets. These puppets, more than ten meters tall, swayed, but could not fall. They continued to move forward.
"Damn it, prepare the scrolls for the Magicians, and have the barbarians and Caucasians prepare their battle axes. The enemy's heavy infantry is coming up! "
Salin did not think that the heavy infantry could not climb the city wall. These people had been blessed with divine spells and were like his heavy infantry. When they ran, they had a powerful impact like the cavalry.
