Night fell.
The Blue Brilliance Empire's capital, Vestian, didn't have the tranquility of the night. The sky was brightly lit, and various dazzling lights flashed from time to time amidst the roars.
The battle on the west side of the capital had reached its climax. The sky and the ground were fighting fiercely without any regard for their own lives.
The ground in front of the city wall was riddled with holes, and many places were permeated with high-temperature blood red. The magma-like blood red was formed by the melting bodies of the abyss monsters.
There were still many corpses that hadn't melted in time piled up like a mountain. Arrows and magic bullets rained down from the top of the city wall, constantly preventing the Crevice Demons and Violent Demons from approaching. Even so, the torrent of the abyss continued to advance, and many monsters near the city wall had begun to climb.
Casualties gradually appeared among the defenders. Most of them were injured by the bone spikes launched by the Violent Demons during the attack. The Violent Demons had six bone spikes. Although they could only be launched six times at most, there were too many of them. Under the intensive attack, even the big shield warriors of the Dwarf Tribe couldn't protect all of them.
There were more and more abyss monsters near the city wall. Looking from afar, the blood-red sea was constantly hitting the city wall. The "waves" were stacked higher and higher, quickly approaching the top of the city wall.
Sandro didn't panic. He gave an order to the First Mage Legion. The elf mages walked to the top of the city wall in an orderly manner, ignoring the monsters near them. They didn't dodge the flying bone spikes either. They began to quickly cast the magic that they had been preparing for a long time.
A dwarf warrior next to an elf mage waved his shield half a beat too late, and the elf was nailed by the flying bone spikes. He fell to the ground, dead. Two other elves were attacked and fell off the city wall. They were instantly drowned by the monsters, but the rest of the elves weren't afraid. They cast the magic that Sandro ordered.
Gravity Spell!
For a moment, all the monsters below the city wall, including the large area in front of it, slowed down. The monsters that were originally overlapping and climbing the city wall also fell down. But this wasn't the real purpose of Gravity Spell.
The sound of gears in the rear sounded one after another. The catapults that had long adjusted their angle and distance were launched together. At the same time, the magic crystal cannons that had been extinguished for a long time were also launched.
The boulders thrown by the catapults weren't ignited like before. Instead, they were tied with a special magic bomb. This bomb was produced by the City of Mages, and it was partly made by the elves. There were no fuses or complicated magic triggers, but some kind of firing pin that could cause a powerful explosion under a violent impact. When Chen Rui was traveling in Yagda, he was amazed when he saw this kind of bomb. It was very similar to the aerial bombs he knew in his previous life.
Attracted by gravity, the catapult's projectiles accurately landed on the Abyss army in front of them. Boom boom boom boom … The ground of the entire Imperial Capital trembled violently.
The cumulative power of the continuous explosions was far greater than that of a single explosion. Large swathes of empty space appeared among the originally densely packed monsters. The Magic Crystal Cannons were aimed at the monsters at the bottom of the city wall. As the white light shone, the night sky was illuminated as if it was daytime. The blood-red torrent of the abyss turned into nothingness.
At this time, arrows and magic rifles would also be affected by the gravity. The defenders on the city wall stopped attacking and hid in the parapet and other bunkers. The dwarven warriors formed a shield to protect the archers from the explosion.
The effect of this tactic was quite obvious. The endless blood-red in front of the city wall turned into a large vacuum. The Abyss monsters suffered a huge loss this time, but Sandro's expression did not relax.
The defenders of the Imperial Capital had been holding on to the city wall. With the cooperation of various tactics, they had paid a very small price in exchange for a huge number of enemy casualties. If this was an ordinary battle, there was no doubt that it would be a glorious victory. However, this was not an ordinary battle. They were not facing an ordinary enemy now, but an almost endless number of monsters without fear.
Although the battle was fruitful, the overall number of the Abyss army did not decrease significantly. After such a fierce battle, their stamina and energy were rapidly declining, especially the magic power of the mages. Even if Sandro deliberately arranged for them to take turns to rest, it could not keep up with the speed of consumption.
If this battle continued for a long time, he was afraid that …
The effect of the Gravity Spell was about to end. Sandro took a deep breath and did not think anymore. He raised his longsword and ordered, "Adjust the angle of the catapult. Second Mage Legion, prepare your magic! Templar, clear the enemies approaching the Imperial Capital from the sky! "
The number of people participating in the battle in the sky was much fewer than on the ground, but the momentum was far greater than on the ground.
The most conspicuous thing was the crisscrossing flames. These flames stayed in the air like ropes that did not disperse for a long time. These "ropes" were left by the mutated elite fiery sorceress, which had killed many griffin knights.
The strength of an ordinary fiery sorceress was generally at the level of Demon Emperor, and a small number of mutated ones could reach the level of Demon Overlord. This fiery sorceress was a mutated elite who had entered the kingdomization stage. She had a special flame talent. When she used her talent, there would be a trail of flames wherever she passed. Many griffins could not change their direction in time and directly crashed into the flame wall. They turned into firebirds and fell together with the knights behind them.
More than half of the griffin knight legion had been lost, but they succeeded in attracting most of the enemy's air power to the sky, so the allies on the ground could not be affected.
The mutated elite fiery sorceress who was slaughtering the griffin knights suddenly turned around. Her long whip flew to the back and entangled a rapier that was about to stab her. The rapier was held in the hands of a male elf. It was the super powerhouse of the elves, Pross.
The fiery sorceress yelled, and the flames on her long whip grew stronger. The rapier in Pross' hand turned red under the high temperature. Pross groaned, but he still held the long sword tightly in his hand. His strength was originally on par with the fiery sorceress, but because he was good at the power of fire, the damage he could do to the fiery sorceress was greatly reduced, and he was firmly suppressed. If it weren't for the griffin knights who constantly disturbed the fiery sorceress with their javelins, Pross would have been seriously injured even if he was not dead.
Looking at Pross who was struggling, the fiery sorceress revealed a hideous smile. Suddenly, she shook and her smile froze on her face. Her whole body began to freeze rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she had been frozen into an ice cube and fell down.
Pross had rich battle experience. With a shake of his body, he intercepted the ice block in mid-air. He gathered all the power of the kingdom in his hand and punched the Fiery Sorceress, who had been frozen into an ice block, into pieces.
"Kael 'sa, thanks. If you had come a little later, my soul would have gone to meet the Moonlight Goddess." Pross looked at his old friend in front of him and sighed. Kael's strength was at the peak of the kingdom, two levels higher than Pross'. However, judging from the wounds all over Kael's body, he had experienced a more dangerous battle.
"Take care of the templars and griffin knights," Kael 'sa panted. "I'll go to Lady Tulsa and see if I can help."
Tulsa was the only demigod elder left in the elves, and also one of the controllers of the tower forest. This time, she was protecting First Princess Feli to Vaisdean City. Queen Liv was Tulsa's niece and also her disciple. The destruction of the Fairy Capital of Silver Moon infuriated Tulsa. If it weren't for Sandro and Feli's dissuasion, she would have killed her way into the army of the abyss.
The power of a demigod was undeniable. The reason why Sandro kept Tulsa alive was just in case. He didn't want her to waste her power prematurely. In fact, this consideration was correct.
After eliminating the vanguard of the army of the abyss, two terrifying elite lords of the abyss appeared. Their strength had reached the demigod level. If it weren't for Tulsa, the city wall would have been broken.
Tulsa's original intention was to drag the battle between the demigods into the army of the abyss. She could use the aftermath of the battle to destroy the army of the abyss. Unlike ordinary practitioners, the lords of the abyss did not have a kingdom or a territory, but their power was purer. These two elite lords of the abyss were far stronger than ordinary demigods. Under their joint attack, Tulsa was actually at a disadvantage. Moreover, the pressure from the army of the abyss shocked even Tulsa. If she rashly rushed into the enemy's army, it was very likely that she would be engulfed by the endless waves. Similarly, this battlefield could not be dragged into the capital, so Tulsa made full use of the kiting tactic of a mage. She led the two lords of the abyss into the air, spread out her kingdom, and trapped the two enemies in the middle. After Kael 'sa joined in, the pressure on Tulsa was finally reduced a little, and she was basically able to maintain the stalemate.
The fierce battle continued until dawn.
Many cracks had appeared on the blood-stained city wall, and the ground under the city was covered with boiling magma.
This night's battle was maintained at the highest intensity, and no one could remember how many abyssal creatures were killed or how many enemy attacks were defeated.
Even with the geographical advantage and the cooperation of various tactics, the defenders still lost a third of their men. This showed how fierce the battle was. The bodies and minds of those who were still alive were in a state of extreme fatigue. They could only mechanically carry out the commander's orders, holding on with their last bit of courage.
They were like a taut bow that could break at any time.
The battle in the sky also continued, but the number of people on the side of the Rayo Empire was decreasing.
What was terrifying was that the army of the abyss did not show any signs of fatigue, and their numbers were still endless. This made the defenders feel despair.
"Her Majesty Rambis is here!"
Empress Lambis appeared in front of everyone with the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace in full armor.
"I will fight side by side with all of you, and we will live and die together!"
Rambis' simple words made the originally low morale rise again. Her Majesty did not escape like the other nobles, but stayed and vowed to fight to the death!
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! "The soldiers all raised their weapons.
However, Sandro and the other generals knew that this was just to quench their thirst with poison. Their forces were almost at their limit, while the army of the abyss was still unfathomable.
More terrifyingly, a considerable part of the army of the abyss had already bypassed the west gate of the Imperial Capital, crossed over the mountains and rivers that were originally natural barriers, and started to attack the other three gates where the army of the abyss was weaker. This showed that not only were the abyssal creatures powerful and fearless in battle, but they also had a considerable amount of intelligence.
Rambis glanced at Princess Phillie. The First Elf Princess's charming face was covered in blood, some of it from her companions, and some from her. However, compared to her arrogant self, she had become more mature and steady. Princess Phillie knew what Rambis wanted to say. She looked at her companions who were fighting in blood and shook her head slightly. Rambis took a deep breath and nodded.
A large number of Inferno Witches flew over from the sky, and the flood of monsters on the ground swept over again. A new wave of attack had begun, and it was even more ferocious than before.
"This is probably the last battle," many people said in their hearts, and they clenched their weapons tightly.
