"Oh my, that scared me. It's so powerful!" Beside him, Napier stuck out his tongue. "It consumed a lot of energy. Damn, 10 energy crystals. That's more than 20,000 Holy Coins, and it's gone just like that!"
"How many are left?"
"13." Napier plucked out the empty energy crystals from the Macedonian Cannon.
"Save them." Mu Zi recovered from his shock and stared in the direction of the city gate. Although the tauren troops that had gathered there had been dispersed, that was only the first wave of enemies. The real battle was just about to begin.
"Got it!" Napier was excited. This was such a powerful weapon. Although he felt dizzy from burning so much money, it felt really good to blast it. It was a pity that he did not have an endless supply of energy. Furthermore, firing the Macedonian Cannon at full force reduced the lifespan of the horse cannon. At that moment, he could feel that the body of the cannon was extremely hot. It was so hot that Napier almost could not hold it.
The horse cannon needed to recover. No matter how good one's alchemy skills were, it needed time to cool down for such a powerful attack. Otherwise, it would definitely explode on the spot. At that moment, it all depended on Mu Zi.
The enemies would not give them a chance to catch their breath.
The south gate had collapsed, and more than half of the soldiers had been injured. This result was beyond the expectations of the Shadow Moon Fortress. The guards did not hesitate to sound the sharp alarm, which echoed in the sky above the Shadow Moon Fortress. This was the sound of a level one combat readiness, and they called for the other guards to provide assistance. The first to arrive was the griffin legion in the sky. They had been rushing over, but they appeared in Mu Zi and Napier's line of sight ten seconds after the south gate collapsed.
The Octopus people soldiers riding on griffins were different from the taurens. There were strong and weak taurens, but the Octopus people's griffon legion was definitely the elite of the elites. At the very least, they were at the Great Swordsman rank. The moment they appeared in the sky, over a dozen Sword Qi streaked across the sky.
"Brother Mu Zi, I'm counting on you!" Napier focused on handling the horse cannon. He tried his best to make preparations so that he could attack the enemy fiercely.
Mu Zi smiled and shielded Napier behind him. The Life and Death Coffin in his hand was like a massive shield that swept forward. In an instant, it blocked all the Sword Qi that swept across the sky.
"Kill!" In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Gryphon Knights at the very front had entered close range.
The griffin rider in the lead raised his huge sword and slashed down from the sky. Using sword energy was the hallmark of a Great Swordsman. The moment he raised his sword, it seemed as if he had condensed an unstoppable sword momentum. When he slashed down, not only was the speed of the slash extremely fast, but it also gave off an unavoidable feeling. He was going to behead Mu Zi.
However, such a lock-on did not seem to have any effect on Mu Zi. He tilted his body slightly and easily dodged the attack. Instead, he pulled back and grabbed the tail of the griffin that the knight was riding. His entire body spun 360 degrees!
Whoosh!
The massive griffin that weighed two to three tons was like a little chick in Mu Zi's hand. It let out panicked cries and was flung away along with the knight that was riding it. They kept rolling in the air and spun around, unable to find their bearings.
The few knights behind him were slightly shocked and did not dare to move forward alone. They paused for a moment in the air and instantly formed an attack formation that consisted of seven people working together. Sword lights that filled the sky fell like raindrops. Mixed in with the rain of Sword Qi were the attacks of the seven griffin riders. They were like seven venomous snakes hiding in the rain of sword lights. They were ruthless and fatal.
There was nowhere to hide from the attacks that filled the sky. Even Napier, who was behind him, felt his hair stand on end. However, Mu Zi did not panic. He stood at his original position and did not even plan to move. In fact, he did not even move. Only the black and white colors in his eyes flickered. None of the illusory Sword Qi and fatal attacks could escape his eyes and ears.
This person was scared silly. Kill!
This thought jumped in the hearts of the seven griffin riders at the same time. However, just as the attacks that filled the sky were about to land in front of the human, he finally moved.
He swung the massive Life and Death Coffin in the air.
Boom!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
There were seven explosions. The attacks of the seven griffin riders were all blocked, and the seven sharp swords were all shattered. The Mizobudapi people could form a unique civilization with the sword. One could imagine how important the sword was to them, especially for those who were at the level of Great Swordsman and above. Every sword in their hands was a unique treasure that could cut through iron like mud. However, when they touched the Life and Death Coffin, they were like fragile ice crystals touching a hard rock. Not only were they unable to leave any marks on the Life and Death Coffin, but they were also instantly shattered!
At the same time, the Life and Death Coffin was swung with a terrifying force. It was as if a mountain had swept past them. The seven riders and the griffins that they were riding were sent flying at the same time. They vomited blood and fell to the ground. They were violently flung dozens of meters away.
One man could defeat ten men!
Indeed, Mu Zi was not very good at close-range attacks. However, that depended on who he was up against. There was no way he could compete with Aiolos in close-range combat.
There were still some griffin riders in the air, but when they saw such power, they couldn't help but be shocked. They reined in their griffins and didn't dare to go forward immediately. They hovered in the air. This human was too strong, and his combat power was so strong. The box in his hand was like a mountain. This kind of barbarian should be dealt with by barbarians!
Not to mention the griffin riders, even Napier, who was busy dealing with the horse cannon at the back, was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his confidence instantly increased. He had always thought that Mu Zi was like the Warlock Mage. He had seen Mu Zi use all kinds of life and death aura to conceal himself, and so on. Although there had been a battle in the city before, Napier hadn't seen it with his own eyes. He would never believe that this skinny and small black man from the Tutankhamun Empire could be as fierce as a demon god in a fight! It was no wonder that Wang Zhong was at ease to let Mu Zi and himself attack from the front. It was no wonder that Wang Zhong said that other than the Warlock Saint, no one in the Shadow Moon Fortress could stop Mu Zi. He was definitely amazing. Were you afraid of a Warlock Mage who knew close-range combat?!
The griffin riders in the air, who were hesitating to move forward, had already blown their horns. With these delays, a new batch of tauren soldiers had gathered outside the city gate.
Although they had called for help, the east, west, and north gates were too far apart. Other than the griffin riders in the air, who could quickly get into position, it would take time for reinforcements from other directions to arrive. Thus, this batch of tauren soldiers had temporarily arrived from several camps near the south gate. The Shadow Moon Fortress had a complete military system. Other than the city lord, who had the right to blow the horn for level-one combat readiness, it could only be sounded when the city gate was lost. Once it was sounded, it would be the highest level of alert. All the taurens nearby had to put down everything they were doing and provide support immediately. Otherwise, they would be guilty of being afraid of battle and neglecting their duties! That would mean killing their entire family.
At that moment, the newly assembled tauren formation had already been formed. It was a standard formation of 50 taurens, and behind them were seven or eight Octopus Warlocks who were in charge of strengthening their defense and long-range attacks.
This kind of formation was probably the ultimate display of Heroic Soul power. It was completely different from the formation that Mu Zi and Wang Zhong had encountered in the alley previously. Firstly, Wang Zhong had broken through their defense in time, and the other party had already fallen into chaos before they could even charge. Thus, they did not display their power. Secondly, the narrow alley was not suitable for this kind of formation. At that moment, there was only the sound of clattering. Da da da da! Boom boom boom boom!
The orderly and hurried footsteps sounded as if only one person was running. The entire formation was perfectly coordinated. This was the specialty of tauren soldiers, and it was deeply ingrained in every tauren's bones. Even the sound of their footsteps was completely synchronized. They rushed in Mu Zi and Napier's direction with an unstoppable force! The taurens were originally good at charging savagely. After forming a formation, coupled with the protection of the Warlocks, the impact was even more shocking and unparalleled. Even the ground trembled from the sound of their charging footsteps. It was clearly a phalanx of over 20 people, but they were completely united. It was as if the shadow of a massive charging bison had condensed in the sky above their team, wanting to brutally smash everything in front of it into pieces!
Following closely behind this formation, there were actually four other formations. A team of two to three hundred people charged forward crazily. The Tauren roared, wanting to directly crush these two audacious humans into powder!
This was definitely not something that a single person could resist with brute force, unless they were at the level of Aiolos.
Napier's horse cannon had not cooled down completely, and Mu Zi did not choose to resist with brute force. Instead, he placed the Life and Death Coffin in front of him. A dim light appeared, and the coffin door opened. Then, a gray fog surged out from the Life and Death Coffin and instantly spread in all directions.
Woo woo woo woo woo …
There was a ghost!
Wolf howls reverberated and fluttered in the gray fog. A chilly wind blew, and even the scorching sun in the sky seemed to have become much dimmer the instant the gray fog spread.
The gray fog instantly spread to an extremely large area, covering a radius of a few hundred meters. The tauren formation had never seen such a strange phenomenon before, and they were shocked. However, they had already formed their formation, and they were confident and had the support of their aura. Furthermore, once the formation started charging, it was not easy to withdraw. At that moment, they recklessly charged inside.
Hu!
The first tauren that charged into the gray fog saw an extremely pale face the moment it opened its eyes. The face was extremely terrifying, and blood flowed from its glasses, nose, mouth, and ears. Its bloodshot eyes were wide open, and it howled as it flew over, directly ignoring the powerful aura of the charging formation. This tauren was extremely daring and was not afraid. The heavy sword in its hand subconsciously slashed at the ghostly face.
Swoosh!
The heavy sword actually slashed through the ghostly face, but the ghostly face was unscathed. Instead, it leaped forward and bit the tauren's neck.
It was not a heavy attack, but it immediately caused a numbing and stiff feeling. The blood from the tauren's neck spread throughout its entire body, causing its body to stiffen. Its entire body shivered, and it paused in place. Its companions behind it, who had yet to figure out the situation, directly rushed over and trampled on the ground.
Corpse poison!
"It's an energy body!"
"Physical attacks are ineffective!"
"It's poisonous!"
It was obvious that the creatures of the Mizobudapi World were quite knowledgeable, but just being knowledgeable was useless. The taurens that were charging at the front suffered a lot. At that moment, they all screamed in fear, and their charge was immediately stopped. Everyone hurriedly stopped and wanted to retreat from the range of the gray fog. However, the taurens that were following closely behind them could not stop in time, and they collided with the taurens in front of them. In an instant, they were in a mess. The five tauren formation that consisted of hundreds of people was aggressive when they charged out, but now, there were only wails and curses.
"F * ck …" Napier suddenly felt a deep sense of defeat. The horse cannon was useless. Did they even need him? Mu Zi should be able to deal with them alone, right? This guy was really too ferocious. He was as brutal as a demon in close combat, and he could even use such a terrifying large-scale move. He was simply invincible! Where did Wang Zhong find this?! Was he in hell?!
"Prepare the horse cannon!" However, Mu Zi did not look relaxed and urged them. Although the Myriad Ghosts Parade was very useful for group attacks, the defense and vitality of the taurens were amazing, and it could not cause effective damage in a large area. Furthermore, the other party was a highly intelligent creature with a complete set of abilities. As long as they were given time to recover, there might be a way to break this move. Furthermore, maintaining this move for a long time would consume a lot of Mu Zi's energy.
As expected, just as he finished speaking, a few cannons sounded from the top of the city wall.
Those were the heavy cannons of the Mizobudapi people. The last time they entered the city, they had seen them from afar. They were set up on the city wall and had a strange shape. They did not have the straight muzzles of the human cannons, but strange, large squirming jars that emitted green light.
A few green energy balls soared into the sky from the direction of the city gate. They were like projectiles, drawing a perfect arc in the air and accurately smashing into Mu Zi's gray fog.
Boom boom boom!
A few explosions sounded in the gray fog, and they could hear the mournful cries of malicious ghosts and resentful spirits. A large area of the gray fog that was hit was instantly cleared. Mu Zi's body swayed, and his face was slightly pale. This attack actually had some kind of purifying effect. The gray fog was under his control and connected to his Soul Power and soul. If the gray fog was damaged, it was equivalent to his body and soul being injured at the same time. He continued to open the Life and Death Coffin and continuously released gray fog to make up for the number of gray fog and resentful spirits that had been lost to the cannons. He maintained his powerful combat power to lure the target.
Fortunately, the horse cannon attack had destroyed most of the city wall in front of them. Many of the jar cannons had been lost or buried in the debris. These scattered cannons could not directly break through Mu Zi's gray fog. Although their power was slightly weaker, the charging time was extremely fast.
In just a moment, a few green jar cannons lit up again, and green light shone on the city wall. The Octopus people on the city wall were very excited when they saw that their attack was effective. Meanwhile, Napier's horse cannon had finally cooled down.
"Attack their jar cannons!"
