Du Feng now had two semi-sage artifacts, one was the Dragon Riding Sword and the other was the Myriad Sword Gourd. In a one-on-one fight, the Dragon Riding Sword was naturally more useful. After all, the Dragon Riding Sword was longer and more sturdy. It was a longsword.
But in a group fight, the Myriad Sword Gourd was powerful. 10,000 Blood Splitting Flying Swords attacked at the same time, and the scene was like a sword tornado. Everywhere it passed, not a blade of grass grew. It was simply a giant meat grinder.
Du Feng was very confident in this battle. A large part of the reason was that the Myriad Sword Gourd had advanced to a semi-sage artifact. As part of a semi-sage artifact, the lethality of the Blood Splitting Flying Swords was naturally greatly increased. When dealing with those attacking enemies, it was basically one sword per person. In one round, it could kill 10,000 enemies. There were not many people who could resist it, unless a semi-sage intervened.
Most of the forging materials were exchanged from the ghost servant, and the ghost servant had always been counting on using the forging materials to exchange for Sanskrit talismans from Du Feng. Now that Du Feng had gathered all of them, he didn't need his things anymore. If the ghost servant knew, he didn't know if he would be depressed, and he didn't know how the matter of retrieving his avatars was going.
If Du Feng guessed correctly, the ghost servant shouldn't have succeeded. With the ghost servant's shrewd personality, if he had succeeded, he would have started to show off. And according to what he said before, if all the avatars were successfully retrieved, he would break through to the Saint Realm. Even if he couldn't become a Saint, he would at least become a semi-sage.
A semi-sage was the product of a failed attempt to break through to the Saint Realm, but not everyone could break through to the Saint Realm. If one wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to break through at all and would only be jumping around blindly.
For example, the former Sword Dragon City Lord, Jian Shisan, was so talented and powerful. He only dared to break through to the Saint Realm when Sword Dragon City was destroyed, and in the end, he only became a semi-sage.
Therefore, Du Feng judged that the ghost servant hadn't started to break through to the Saint Realm, and sooner or later, he would come to him for the Sanskrit Talisman. As for whether or not he would return it to him, it would depend on the situation.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Just as everyone was discussing, Draconis suddenly appeared and gave orders. As soon as he gave the order, everyone was used to it. Based on past practice, they quickly got into formation. The archers and crossbowmen quickly occupied the high ground, and the other combatants also took their positions.
Defensive warfare was different from charging on flat ground. There were still certain advantages.
After all, the city walls of Fengcheng were of a certain height, and there was also a City Protecting Formation. Under the cooperation of Du Feng and hundreds of Array Masters, the Great City Protecting Array was built quite well.
Actually, with the current strength of Du Feng and his brothers, so long as the enemy didn't have the support of a Half-Saint, they were completely capable of charging out and slaughtering their way out. It was even to the extent that they didn't need the help of the residents in the city. However, in order to test the results of their training, Draconis decided to let them participate in the battle.
After all, there were so many city-guarding crossbows installed on the watchtowers on the city walls. They had to be used to their full potential. Everyone's hard training had to show results.
That's right, after such a long time. Du Feng had long since deciphered the manufacturing method of the city-guarding crossbows and installed them on all four sides of the city walls and watchtowers. These ballistae were retractable and usually hid inside the walls. They would only come out when the battle started.
"Wow, why do they have city-guarding crossbows, and so many of them."
"That's right. The intelligence didn't mention it."
The Holy Dragon City's team was a little dumbfounded. Initially, they were quite confident that they could crush the enemy with twice the number of soldiers. However, when they saw the city-guarding crossbows, they panicked. They knew the power of the city-guarding crossbows. They could shoot through a human body in one shot.
Not to mention a human body, even a tall Extraterrestrial Demon's head could be blown off with one arrow.
Currently, the watchtowers of Fengcheng were all equipped with city-guarding crossbows. Moreover, there were also a large number of city-guarding crossbows on all four sides of the city walls. This was not just a large number, but a very large number. Every 50 meters, there was a city-guarding crossbow.
Fengcheng was not very big. Looking from afar, it was really frightening to see so many of them.
"What should we do? Should we still charge?"
The soldiers were a little hesitant. They had come with a total of 200,000 people. If they were shot by the city-guarding crossbows, at least tens of thousands would die. Whoever charged at the front would be the unlucky one.
"Charge. What are you afraid of? We have so many people. Moreover, we have the square shield."
That's right. After being reminded by the captain, the soldiers all remembered. They could use the square shield to set up formations. They had been practicing how to defend against the Extraterrestrial Demon all the time and had forgotten about defending against crossbows.
"Set up the formation!"
As the captain gave the order, square formations were immediately set up one after another. These square formations were all uniform in size. From afar, they looked like square pieces of tofu.
In Du Feng's eyes, they were indeed tofu. In fact, they were even more fragile than tofu. He gave Draconis a look. Then, Draconis immediately gave the order.
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
All the crossbowmen on the city walls pulled the city-guarding crossbows at Draconis's order. Because the city-guarding crossbows were too strong, they needed two people to step on them to pull them apart. This was not the most impressive thing. The most impressive thing was the way the crossbow bolts were shot.
The bolts that were originally shot in a straight line had been modified by Du Feng into a spiral shape. Because the bolts of the city-guarding crossbows were big enough, there was a lot of room for them to use. They were simply modified like screws. After they were shot out, they would spin vertically. In particular, the front end was like a drill, which had a strong penetrating force.
As they flew further and further, the speed at which they spun became faster and faster. When they came into contact with the square shield, they drilled into the shield like a drill.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …"
Sparks flew everywhere as the shields were drilled. The hands of the warriors holding the shields kept trembling. Because the impact was too strong, they could not withstand it. Therefore, they leaned against each other to stabilize the shield so that it would not fall out of their hands.
However, this was of no use. Although the shields did not fall out of their hands, they were still drilled through.
"Puchi … Puchi …"
After the bolt drilled through the shields, it shot through the people holding the shields. This was not the end. After piercing through the first person, it went through the back and shot through the second person. The muscles and bones of the second person still could not stop the high-speed rotating bolt. Then, it shot through the third person.
Just like that, one bolt could not be considered to have pierced through the square shield. Instead, it could pierce through three people. If one bolt could kill three people, five thousand bolts could kill fifteen thousand people. This was because the crossbowmen had to take turns to pull the bowstrings and could not shoot at the same time. Otherwise, if ten thousand bolts were shot at the same time, they could directly kill thirty thousand enemies.
It was too terrifying. Such a thick square shield was pierced through. The warriors from the Holy Dragon City were stunned on the spot.
