Words:2076Update:22/06/26 13:06:59
Bang!
The first row of riders clashed with Kieran. Amidst the huge explosion, the riders were thrown off their mounts. It was like a sea wave crashing onto a giant boulder, turning it into a spray of water.
The riders who clashed with Kieran head-on were blasted into a mist of blood together with their horses.
Then …
Bang Bang Bang!
Explosions sounded one after another.
A straight path filled with blood appeared in the middle of the cavalrymen.
Kieran was like a sharp knife, splitting the whole group of riders in half.
"Damn it!"
The defending general of the inner city wall punched the stone wall beside him when he saw the scene. He stared at Kieran who was sweeping the riders with a ferocious face.
As the trusted aide of the military minister, the defending general knew what his camp was doing.
If he succeeded, he would be rewarded with riches and glory.
If he failed, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
He could not fail!
Once he thought about the consequences of failure, the defending general made up his mind.
"Release the pulleys!"
The defending general growled.
The orderly was stunned. He unconsciously looked at the riders on the empty space in the inner and outer city walls.
"I said release the pulleys!"
The defending general of the inner city wall emphasized again.
"Yes, sir!"
The duty of a soldier to follow orders made the orderly clench his teeth and pick up the torch beside him, swinging it at the mountain walls on both sides.
Kak, Kak Kak!
Amidst the sound of springs, on both sides of the canyon walls of Herr Mountain Range that was connected to Thunder Fortress, holes appeared in the darkness.
Three meters long, two meters wide, and two meters tall carts that required at least 20 men to move were pushed. The carts were square in shape and filled with rocks. They were pushed onto their respective tracks.
Then, they were pushed down the slope of the mountain wall.
Kakrooom!
It sounded like a thunderclap on the flat ground.
Under the shocked and disbelieving gazes of the cavalrymen, a total of a hundred pulleys slid down the mountain wall along a predetermined path, bringing with them an impact force that ordinary people could not even imagine.
The pulleys that slid down the mountain completely occupied the empty space between the inner and outer city walls.
Anyone who stood on the empty space would be crushed into meat paste by the pulleys that carried a tremendous force.
The riders knew it very well.
So, they panicked.
Because in this empty space, there was no space to dodge.
Unless …
Many cavalrymen looked up at the sky.
Unfortunately, it was a place that was out of their reach.
But in the face of life-threatening danger, no one would easily give up.
The cavalrymen began to take off their heavy metal armor to lighten their burden.
However, when most of the cavalrymen had only taken off half of their clothes, the pulleys had already run over their bodies, and a series of teeth-numbing screeches could be heard.
A pile of twisted metal flesh and blood appeared on the spot.
The pulley continued to move forward with two streaks of red in its wake.
He crashed into the second and third cavalryman.
There were only a few cavalrymen who jumped high into the air, but they were immediately hit by the fireballs and fell from the sky, crushed by the pulleys.
In the distance, on the inner city wall.
Four three-meter-tall war machines with complicated patterns carved on the walls were emitting thick black smoke. They had ferocious lion mouths and tiger mouths.
"Bastard!"
"He's not one of us!"
"Keep an eye on him!"
"It's him!"
The inner city wall general shouted repeatedly.
The general who placed all his attention on Kieran didn't even notice the little anomaly.
The general knew that after losing 500 cavalrymen, if he still couldn't kill Kieran, even if he was the trusted aide of the military minister, he would still be finished.
His strict superior would definitely demote him to the bottom.
He might even be sent to the Black Dungeon that targeted the officers.
It was something that the general didn't want to see.
Kill him!
Kill him!
That was the only thought left in the general's mind at the moment in order to avoid entering that scary place.
Therefore, he kept his eyes on Kieran from the start.
Until …
Kieran was pierced through by the pulleys.
That's right, pierced through!
Kieran who was standing there was like a phantom that didn't exist.
"What?!
Where did that bastard go? "
The defending general of the inner wall rubbed his eyes, making sure that it was just a mirage before he shouted at the guard loudly.
The soldiers in the area started to search around.
Soon, they got a result.
"In the sky!"
The soldiers beside saw Kieran in the sky again.
"Fire! Fire! "
The general shouted at the soldiers who were controlling the war machines.
Sparks instantly appeared from the thick smoke. The war machines were all aiming at Kieran who was standing still on the empty ground.
The next moment …
Huu, Huu, Huu!
Four fireballs the size of soccer balls were fired at Kieran, drowning Kieran in flames.
"Hahahaha!"
The general laughed out loud when he saw Kieran being drowned in flames.
He killed him!
He finally killed him!
This way, his position could be considered preserved.
However, before the general's laughter stopped, a dark red greatsword stabbed out from the shadows and pierced the general's blade.
"How … How is this possible?"
The defending general looked at Kieran in disbelief as he stood in front of him.
He clearly saw Kieran being crushed by the flames.
It wasn't the initial phantom!
He was very sure of it.
But how did Kieran appear before him?
Puk!
Kieran didn't have the intention to answer the general's question. He swung his hand and [Arrogant Word] was swung out horizontally, splitting the general in half. Kieran then dashed towards the other side of the inner wall.
That was the only way to reach Warren's capital, Riverdale!
Even until his death, the defending general of the inner walls would never know that the first mirage was a prank item called [Trickery Conch]. The second mirage was created by the [Illusionary Puppet Ring]. The mirages were so real that they deceived everyone on the spot, allowing Kieran to use Transcendence [Undercover] and the cover of the night and the messy battlefield to reach the top of the inner walls.
Similar to the soldiers on the outer wall.
The soldiers on the outer wall also surrounded Kieran.
They unsheathed their swords, ready to fight for their lives.
However, at that moment …
"Run!"
"He's a sorcerer!"
"He's not someone we can stop!"
Shouts were heard.
One of the soldiers controlling the war machine turned around and ran.
It was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, ripples started to form in the soldiers' hearts.
When the second soldier followed and ran away, the soldiers who were filled with killing intent lost their fighting spirit. They panicked and opened up a path for Kieran.
Kieran looked at the first and second soldier who ran away in astonishment.
His sharp instinct told him that there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
However, even though he had doubts in his heart, he didn't have the time to think about it.
Kieran jumped off the inner wall.
The instant he leaped and left the inner city wall, the system notifications started ringing nonstop.
