Larikson and Hofs had the same goal. They led the experts of Hushveil City and the House of Broadhurst to Fort Lasberg. As soon as they arrived, the two gave the order to attack and ordered their subordinates to storm Fort Lasberg.
In their minds, Han Shuo was the only expert in Fort Lasberg. When they discovered that Han Shuo was not in Fort Lasberg, they did not take the Han family in Fort Lasberg seriously.
The two had the most elite divine guards of Hushveil City and highgods of the House of Broadhurst. Larikson and Hofs also possessed late-stage highgod strengths.
Even the House of Kinson and the House of Kisa that had stood proudly in the City of Shadows for many years, let alone the House of Han in Fort Lasberg, would not be able to withstand such a ferocious attack.
Outside of Fort Lasberg, Larikson and Hofs wore cold and gloomy expressions as they looked at their subordinates flying towards Fort Lasberg. They didn't care about anyone from the House of Han except Han Shuo at all. They felt that they had already given the House of Han enough face by coming here in person. Before a super expert appeared, the two of them would never lower their statuses and personally make a move.
The human figures flew towards Fort Lasberg. Each and every one of them was howling wildly and ferociously. The divine weapons in their hands were overflowing with astonishing divine energy. They appeared to be brimming with confidence and thought nothing of Fort Lasberg.
All of a sudden, thunderous explosions sounded from within Fort Lasberg. Shortly after, dazzling beams of light carrying astonishing amounts of energy bombarded the outside of Fort Lasberg.
The beams of light were as thick as a man's waist. More than a dozen of them shot out at the same time. Hofs' divine guards from Hushveil City were caught off guard and many of them were struck by the energy beams. The divine bodies of many midgods were instantly penetrated. Those who were struck by the energy beams fell to the ground with grievous injuries.
Ever since the Han family took over Fort Lasberg, they had spared no expense in spending crystal coins on the defense of the fort. Countless energy crystals were transported from various mines to Fort Lasberg and used to fill the Energy Crystal Cannons. These Energy Crystal Cannons were extremely powerful and destructive. With enough energy crystals, they could unleash as much power as a highgod.
The dozen or so Energy Crystal Cannons were usually placed on the outer walls of Fort Lasberg to deter outsiders. But now that the enemy had arrived, Phoebe and the others had placed the dozen or so Energy Crystal Cannons in the energy towers so that they could launch a surprise attack at the enemy.
One had to admit that the casualties suffered by Hofs' divine guards were their own doing. If they weren't so conceited and arrogant, if they had been a little more cautious, they would not have suffered such a heavy blow from the Energy Crystal Cannons.
With the energy crystals in the energy towers, the dozen or so Energy Crystal Cannons fired dazzling beams of light at Hofs' divine guards. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Hushveil City divine guards were blasted by the Energy Crystal Cannons and died on the spot.
Beneath the energy towers, the members of the Han family continued to fill the Energy Crystal Cannons with energy crystals. Dazzling beams of light soared into the sky. Loud rumbles were heard as the energy cannons rained down on the Hushveil City divine guards.
One after another, human figures fell from the sky. Severed limbs and blood rained down from the sky. The entrance to Fort Lasberg was dyed crimson.
"Be careful! Spread out!" Hofs did not expect that a puny little Fort Lasberg would possess so many energy crystal cannons and so many energy crystals. He was so angry that he yelled at the top of his lungs.
The Energy Crystal Cannons were very expensive. Every time they fired, they would consume an enormous amount of Energy Crystal Cannons. Many people believed that the Energy Crystal Cannons were worth tens of thousands of black crystal coins. That was why even though some small family clans had Energy Crystal Cannons, they would not expend so much Energy Crystal Cannons.
But what they did not know was that the Han family of Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was able to rake in an astonishing amount of profits every year due to its branches in the Death, Destruction, and Darkness Dominions. The Han family was now filthy rich and they could afford to consume such an enormous amount of Energy Crystal Cannons.
Due to Hofs' miscalculation, nearly a hundred Hushveil City divine guards were killed in just a few moments. That was equivalent to an entire company of divine guards.
The Energy Crystal Cannons did not stop firing. They fired at the human figures flying above Fort Lasberg and at the enemies stationed at the Fort Lasberg in the distance. Beams after beams of burning Energy Crystal Cannons bombarded the Hushveil City divine guards.
Hofs' shout was drowned out by the deafening explosions of the Energy Crystal Cannons. His divine guards continued to charge towards Fort Lasberg without a care for their own safety. But this time, they had learned their lesson. They spread out and kept a large distance between each other.
With that, the dozen or so Energy Crystal Cannons could no longer be as arrogant as before. Under the continuous bombardment, only twenty or so Hushveil City divine guards fell from the sky.
The Hushveil City divine guards finally flew into the sky above Fort Lasberg and landed on the ground.
The first divine guard to land suddenly jolted. He discovered that he was stopped by an invisible barrier. He could not enter Fort Lasberg at all. But just as he was about to get up, he discovered that the invisible barrier suddenly exerted a strong pulling force on him. He could not control his body and began to sway in the sky above Fort Lasberg.
It was at this moment that an Energy Crystal Cannon shot into the sky and bombarded the divine guard, turning him into mincemeat.
After him, fifteen people successively fell from the bombardment of the energy crystal cannons, but without exception, they were all blocked by the barrier formed by the energy towers. Similarly, more and more Energy Crystal Cannons shot into the sky. Those unfortunate divine guards who fell into the barrier were struck by the crystal cannons and died on the spot.
Both the Energy Crystal Cannons and the energy barrier were powered by the energy provided by the energy crystals in the energy towers. Therefore, the energy from the Energy Crystal Cannons could not be hindered by the energy barrier at all. That was also the reason why the Hushveil City divine guards were so confident in charging into Fort Lasberg.
As a result, they tasted the bitter fruit. Every single divine guard that dared to charge into Fort Lasberg was killed.
The Energy Crystal Cannons and the energy barrier worked in tandem to kill every divine guard that dared to charge into the barrier. In just the blink of an eye, dozens of divine guards were killed. They died horrible deaths.
"All of you, get back here!" shouted Hofs furiously as he hovered in midair.
It was too late for Hofs to shout. Most of the intruders had been killed. Many of them realized that things were not going well for them and decided to stay where they were.
Before they even entered Fort Lasberg, Hofs had lost more than a hundred and fifty of his subordinates.
Hofs had used up a lot of his forces during the last chaos in Hushveil City. Recently, he had managed to deter a few other family clans with ill intentions. The death of his divine guards caused him great heartache. He was worried that if this continued, those family clans would start plotting against him again after learning that he had lost even more of his forces.
"City Lord, with both the Energy Crystal Cannons and the energy barrier protecting Fort Lasberg, this is going to be difficult. We have been too impulsive. It seems that the Han family is truly wealthy. They are willing to burn their money to resist us! "said the Chief of the First Corps to Hofs in a grave face.
"Let's destroy the energy barrier first. Once the barrier is destroyed, we will be able to charge into Fort Lasberg!" Hofs was enraged but he did not lose his mind. He put on a dark face and shouted, "Once we enter Fort Lasberg and encounter them head-on, they will not be able to stop us with their strength!"
"Let's work together to destroy the energy barrier. The Han family must be very wealthy. We have made the right decision this time!" said Larikson in a mischievous smile. He was thinking about the black crystal coins of the Han family.
The divine guards that Larikson brought with him were the elites of the House of Broadhurst. They did not participate in the assault on Fort Lasberg. Although Hofs had lost a hundred or so divine guards, Larikson and his subordinates were unharmed. Therefore, while Hofs was cursing and swearing, Larikson could leisurely think about how to divide the black crystal coins of the Han family.
Upon hearing Larikson's words, Hofs' eyes lit up. He looked at Fort Lasberg greedily and said, "That's right. For the Han family to be able to provide so many energy crystals, they must be very wealthy! I have long investigated and found out that many family clans in the Abyss of Death and Destruction have business dealings with them. God knows how many crystal coins they have earned from the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy over the years. If we can get those crystal coins, we will be able to make up for the losses of my subordinates. "
Larikson shot a glance at Hofs but did not say anything. He seemed to be plotting something.
"Let's attack Fort Lasberg together! Every time the energy barrier on the fort withstands a wave of our attacks, it will cost tens of thousands of black crystal coins! Hmph, let's see how many waves the energy crystals in the energy towers can withstand! "shouted Hofs as he waved his hand.
Following Hofs' command, the divine guards of Hushveil City started bombarding Fort Lasberg with their divine energy and divine weapons from a distance. Beams of colorful divine energy landed on Fort Lasberg like meteors. All sorts of bizarre divine weapons with astonishing penetrative power whizzed out and bombarded the Fort.
"Hold them off! Damn it, we have a lot of crystal coins! When those bastards get in, they will surely rob the energy crystals in the energy towers. Fill them up! Don't leave any for them! At the very least, it will consume their divine energy! Hmph, when they arrive at the Han family, we will show them what we're made of! " Shouted dark dragon Gilbert from Fort Lasberg. He instructed the divine guards of the Han family to place the sparkling energy crystals into the energy towers.
