The 50,000 cavalrymen marched straight in, and soon, the legendary City of Life appeared in the eyes of the Roth Empire's soldiers.
However, the scene of them raising their flags and surrendering as they had expected didn't happen. Under the bowl-shaped barrier that enveloped the entire city, there were tens of thousands of elven soldiers standing in neat rows.
However, apart from the 5,000 elven guards standing in the center, the elves on the sides and at the back were all in a mess of equipment. There were even some who were wearing casual clothes and carrying wands.
However, the seemingly messy troop had a sense of cohesion that was hard to ignore. It actually made the Roth Empire's cavalrymen, who were all in neat and orderly formation, feel secretly shocked.
Didn't they say that the City of Life only has 5,000 guards? Where did these fellows come from? Iman was also shocked to see the sudden appearance of 30,000 elves.
The elves weren't a weak race. The Roth Empire had only caught them off guard. Iman had to take down the City of Life before the elven guards in the south returned to defend. Only then could he be considered to have achieved something in this war.
What he was most worried about was actually Helena returning to The Wind Forest. Then, the elves would be in a state of disunity, and he might have to consider how to lead the Roth Empire's cavalrymen out of The Wind Forest.
Along the way, he had seen elves fleeing upon hearing the news. He had thought that the elves in the City of Life would also be in a state of panic, and wouldn't have the heart to defend it.
However, the current situation also made him a little confused. This was obviously a troop that had been put together at the last minute. Many of them didn't even have proper armor. Even if they did, it was like an antique from 100 years ago, and wouldn't fit them at all.
However, it was such a hastily put together troop, dressed in all kinds of clothes, that stood together in an orderly manner that gave off a chilling feeling.
Iman gave the order to stop advancing, and the two armies faced each other 1,000 meters apart.
"A bunch of motley crew. General, give me 10,000 men, and I will definitely take down the City of Life." A deputy general stepped forward to request the order.
After the other soldiers saw the elves' attire clearly, a contemptuous smile appeared on their faces. The empire's cavalrymen, who were well-equipped, could easily crush this motley crew that had been put together at the last minute.
"General, let's attack the city. Our scouts have reported that there are still two hours before the 10,000 vanguard of the elves' southern garrison will arrive at the City of Life. We don't have much time left." Another general looked at Iman and said.
Iman nodded and ordered, "Katur will lead ten thousand heavy cavalry and elite mages to attack the city. The rest will enter the city and kill all the elves. Destroy the City of Life and burn the Tree of Life!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in a low voice and began to deploy their troops.
The main entrance of the City of Life had a straight road that was a hundred meters wide, very suitable for cavalry charges.
There were no high walls in the city, only tree walls that were about the height of a person. Heavy cavalry in heavy armor could easily destroy the so-called city walls.
The faint golden light shield was faintly visible outside the city. It looked as thin as a bubble, as if it would burst at the slightest touch.
On the other side, Barton, who was standing on the high platform, also deployed his troops and assumed a defensive posture. He looked at the veteran soldiers below with a smile on his old face. It was as if he had returned to the days when the smoke of war was everywhere. It was also this group of people who risked their lives to drive the invaders out of The Wind Forest.
Soon, Katur led ten thousand heavy cavalry and charged towards the City of Life under the cover of dozens of mages.
At the forefront of the troop were ten heavily armored bloodthirsty rhinos.
As level-5 magic beasts, bloodthirsty rhinos were violent and bloodthirsty. They also had a terrifying charging force.
An adult bloodthirsty rhino could easily knock down thick city walls. Their thick skin and heavy armor made them troublesome meat on the battlefield. They were always successful in attacking cities.
Iman directly released these ten sharp weapons in order to allow Katur to quickly tear a hole in the City of Life's defensive line and take down the city.
The three meter tall and ten meter long terrifying beasts ran, causing the ground to shake violently. The ear-piercing roars of the beasts hurt people's eardrums.
The ten thousand heavy cavalry followed closely behind the bloodthirsty rhinos. They were like a black flood of steel, surging towards the City of Life.
"Release the arrows!"
At the command of the commanding officer, thousands of arrows wrapped in various colors flew out, turning into a rain of arrows that covered the heavy cavalry.
The elves were the children of nature. They had a natural affinity with magic. Moreover, their survival in nature had forged their exquisite archery skills.
With the addition of magic, the arrows had greater penetrating power and lethality.
At this moment, the sound of magic chanting came from behind the heavy cavalry. A level-10 mage and dozens of other mages conjured a huge protective shield that covered the sky above the heavy cavalry.
"Skyfire! Fall! "
Almost at the same time, a level-10 mage standing at the back of the elves shouted coldly. The sky changed color. Huge red meteors fell from the sky, falling towards the heavy cavalry.
The sound of magic chanting came from the elves' side. All the elements in the sky were thrown into chaos.
Fireballs, Icicles, Windstorms, Earth Spikes … all kinds of magic covered the sky and covered the earth as they fell towards the charging heavy cavalry.
"Be careful!" The magic casters from the Roth Empire looked at the magic spells coming towards them, and their expressions changed drastically.
A huge meteor with a red tail smashed down with a loud rumble. The extremely wide barrier was like a bubble that had been popped.
Boom!
The meteors landed on the ground with a loud bang.
Flames and rocks shot out in all directions, engulfing the heavy cavalry within a radius of tens of meters. The charging formation was broken instantly.
The meteors broke the seal, and the magic enchanted arrow rain poured down without any hindrance.
The sharp arrows crashed into the heavy cavalry in heavy armor. Other than the thick metal plates on their breastplates, the arrows penetrated almost everywhere else.
It was just a round of arrows, and hundreds of heavy cavalry fell off their horses.
After the arrow rain, it was a magic storm that filled the sky.
Vines and mud walls suddenly burst out from the ground, and tripped a large number of heavy cavalry.
Thousands of different levels of magic spells rained down at the same time. The heavy cavalry in heavy armor had strong physical resistance, but they couldn't withstand the baptism of magic.
Meanwhile, those 10 bloodthirsty rhinoceroses suddenly missed a step when they were 100 meters away from the magic barrier, and fell into a huge gully that suddenly appeared in the ground. Soil and rocks quickly filled up the gully. The ground only shook for a while before it became silent.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! "Imanya looked at the heavy cavalry that was engulfed by the magic storm.
The horn for retreat sounded, but only the 10-odd magic casters at the back retreated. None of the heavy cavalry could turn their horses around in time …
