"Crossbows, fire at will!"
As soon as Yun Li's voice fell, the crossbows that were protruding from the corners of the city walls turned into streaks of silvery white lightning and shot out. The piercing sound of the crossbows piercing through the air was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The penetrating power of these crossbows was very strong. When they got close to the first rank magical beasts that were running at the front, they actually directly passed through their bodies. Leaving a trail of blood behind them, they continued to shoot towards the magical beasts behind them. Along the way, they consecutively pierced through 3-4 magical beasts before finally losing their momentum and pierced into the bodies of some of the magical beasts.
This round of crossbows shot out at least 200 of them, taking away the lives of more than 500 magical beasts in total.
After that, the second wave of crossbows shot out from the bottom of the city walls, killing the magical beasts that were running at the front. From the top of the city walls, a series of muffled sounds of cannons could be heard. One by one, the powerful energy fluctuations of the cannons exploded in the most concentrated areas of the magical beasts, mercilessly reaping the lives of these magical beasts.
However, such a blow had no effect on these magical beasts with low intelligence. The smell of blood that permeated the air instead aroused the ferocious nature of these magical beasts buried deep in their bones. Constantly letting out low growls, each of these magical beasts ran madly towards the city gates while ignoring the crossbows that were shot at them.
"Boom!"
When the magical beasts at the front of the city walls got close to the city walls, some of the magical beasts that used ramming as a means of attack immediately slammed into the city walls that were covered by a layer of protective armor. Along with a loud bang, the entire city walls trembled a few times due to the large number of magical beasts ramming into them. Even the protective armor that covered the city walls had a shallow mark on it.
As for those delicate magical beasts, they rushed to the front of the city gates and waved their claws with all their might to claw at the city walls. There were even some magical beasts that opened their bloody mouth and bit towards the city walls. At the same time, there were also some magical beasts that used the gaps between the protective armor to climb up the city walls.
Seeing a large number of magical beasts approaching the city walls, Yun Li's eyes flashed with a trace of ferocity and he decisively ordered: "Pour out the kerosene!"
Barrels of hot kerosene were poured down from the city walls by the soldiers. When the kerosene came into contact with the hairs of the magical beasts below, it immediately turned into a raging fire. The flames continued to spread along the hairs of the magical beasts and soon, the magical beasts were wrapped in flames one by one.
Down below, countless magical beasts let out miserable cries. Their bodies burned with raging flames as they rolled on the ground in pain. These raging flames were enough to cause fatal damage to these hairy magical beasts.
There was a lot of kerosene stored on the city walls, and there were even a few large furnaces that were constantly producing kerosene. When barrels of kerosene were poured down from the city walls, the area below the city walls quickly turned into a sea of fire. Countless magical beasts were screaming and rolling in the sea of fire. Following that, a burning smell spread through the air, filling the air with a pungent smell.
Wake City did not have a moat around it, so there was no source of water to extinguish the flames. When the magical beasts that were covered in flames madly rushed towards the other magical beasts, many of the surrounding magical beasts were caught in the fire. Their hairs were set on fire, and the flames quickly spread throughout their bodies. Very quickly, they were wrapped in a ball of fire.
Below the city walls, the magical beasts immediately became restless. Although they were not intelligent, they knew that if they were caught on fire, even if they did not die, they would be severely injured. Thus, all of the magical beasts simultaneously ran away from their fellow magical beasts that were on fire.
The kerosene continued to pour down from the city walls. Although the city walls were still producing kerosene, they could not keep up with the consumption. In less than an hour, the kerosene on the city walls had been used up. During this period of time, the kerosene had caused great damage to the magical beasts. Countless magical beasts were injured, and those that were directly burned to death by the kerosene numbered in the hundreds.
Without the threat of the kerosene, the flames on the ground were quickly extinguished by the magical beasts. Following that, the magical beasts once again rushed towards the city walls. Many of the smaller and more agile magical beasts climbed up the city walls, and there were even some poisonous snakes that were as thick as water buckets.
When some of the magical beasts climbed up the city walls, before they could even stabilize themselves, several Saint Weapons that were imbued with Saint Force came slashing towards them, sending them flying off the city walls.
At this time, a soldier quickly ran up the city walls and reported to City Lord Yun Li, "Reporting to City Lord, the crossbow bolts have been fired, not a single one is left!"
Seeing the situation unfold below, City Lord Yun Li nodded and expressionlessly ordered, "Open the city gates, attack!"
Wake City's most powerful means of dealing with the magical beasts were the magic crystal cannons, kerosene, and fury. The magic crystal cannons were long range weapons, and their targets were the high level magical beasts behind the magical beasts. As for close range attacks, they only had kerosene and crossbow bolts. After such a long time, the crossbow bolts and kerosene were all used up. At this time, they could only open the city gates and attack.
As the heavy city gates were slowly opened, the magical beasts outside rushed in like a swarm of bees. But as soon as they stepped through the gates, they were immediately blocked by the many mercenaries and soldiers within the city.
"Brothers, charge! Let's harvest the ears of the magical beasts!"
"Charge! Purple gold glittering Purple Crystal Coins! Put them all in my pocket!"
… …
The mercenaries and soldiers were all fired up, and their fighting spirit soared to the heavens. They all shouted as they rushed out of the city gates. Countless Saint Weapons fell from the sky, ruthlessly slashing at the magical beasts blocking the city gates, causing large amounts of blood to spurt out.
"Roar!" A few magical beasts cried out in pain. However, before they could recover from their shock, the second wave of attacks hit them fiercely. In the end, the few magical beasts at the front were hacked to death by the large number of mercenaries gathered at the city gate. The left ears of these magical beasts were immediately cut off and stuffed into their Space Belts happily.
"Everyone, charge! There's a large pile of purple crystal coins outside waiting for us to pick up …"
"Charge out, don't waste time …"
"Hurry up and charge …"
All of the mercenaries shouted excitedly, as if they weren't dealing with ferocious magical beasts, but a large pile of golden words. None of them were afraid of death.
Under the combined efforts of the mercenaries, they finally cleared out the magical beasts blocking the city gates. Then, they stepped over the corpses of the magical beasts and rushed out.
