The four Magic Crystal Cannons kept roaring. In contrast, Black Raven City looked very calm, which was decided by the style of its owner. Zaguned believed that the best defense was offense. His old rival, Dismark, was good at consuming the enemy's strength through defense. Therefore, Black Raven City didn't even have a single Magic Crystal Cannon, while Dismark's capital, the Holy Crown City, had more than fifty Magic Crystal Cannons. If they were to attack the Holy Crown City, the four Magic Crystal Cannons would be nothing at all. They would be turned into powder in the blink of an eye.
Black Raven City was much more passive. It could only bear the attacks silently and was powerless to fight back.
When the infantry phalanx was two hundred meters away, the Evil Eyes on the city wall finally launched a volley. The sporadic light beams didn't have much power, but when hundreds of thousands of light beams gathered together, the strange red light became particularly dazzling, even brighter than the sun.
Under the cover of the light beams, the huge shields in the hands of the soldiers began to melt at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Then, the light beams penetrated the shields and hit the soldiers, melting their bodies one by one.
With only one volley, Riptide had lost hundreds of soldiers!
However, the phalanx of soldiers was still moving forward slowly, with an amazing momentum. They were like a huge fierce beast, trying to fight the enemy at all costs.
The second volley of the Evil Eyes fell on another infantry phalanx and also took hundreds of lives. Unfortunately, Riptide's morale had been completely stirred up. Moreover, many of the soldiers in the vanguard were cursed. This kind of blow stimulated their thirst for blood.
Killing the enemy should be a very pleasant thing, but every time Sherrill ordered a volley, he would feel a chill in his heart. The Evil Eyes' attack power was much stronger than that of ordinary archers. However, if they wanted to kill the soldiers hiding behind the huge shields, they had to work hard to maintain their light beams. It took time for the light beams to melt the huge shields, melt the iron armors, and kill a large number of soldiers. Although it was only a few seconds, the Evil Eyes would lose a part of their strength, just like an ordinary archer shooting a dozen arrows in a row.
However, Sherrill had no other choice. Quantity could make up for the lack of quality. The outside of the city was densely packed with enemies, but he could only mobilize a small number of troops. Moreover, the quality of his troops might not be as good as the enemy's. If the enemy approached the city, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Waves of magic waves came from Riptide. The magicians began to cast magic shields for the soldiers in the front. However, there were too few of them, only a dozen magicians, and the highest rank among them was only a fifth-grade warlock... the magic shields they could only resist the light beams.. and then, they collapsed.
Under the scanning of the death beams, the three infantry phalanxes were still able to advance a hundred meters forward. At this time, they could already see the strangely shaped Evil Eyes on the city wall. However, their speed suddenly slowed down, and they were no longer passive. When the light beams fell on the phalanxes, the soldiers would try their best to avoid them. When the light beams disappeared, they would quickly close up again. Their movements were not chaotic at all. It was obvious that they had undergone some kind of training.
Dozens of large fireballs flew down from the city wall and landed in the phalanxes. This was different from the death beams of the Evil Eyes. This was a test of the individual strength of the soldiers. Some of them were hit by the fireballs on the spot, while others were able to block the fireballs with their shields.
Lang Ning sneered on the high platform. If the enemy's commander wasn't an idiot, then it could only mean one thing: the enemy's defense was already stretched to the limit.
The infantry phalanxes continued to move forward, but the Evil Eyes' volley was getting faster and faster. One by one, the soldiers melted in the light beams, and the death rate rose sharply.
When the infantry phalanxes were less than fifty meters away from the city wall, the Evil Eyes had already reached a frenzied state. The red light beams never disappeared and followed the footsteps of the soldiers all the time.
Riptide blew the horn, and the three heavily damaged infantry phalanxes suddenly began to retreat. Regardless of whether they were advancing or retreating, their movements were orderly.
The Evil Eyes on the city wall were still shooting light beams, as if they were sending the enemy off. However, to Lang Ning, this kind of performance was somewhat cowardly.
The two infantry brigades that had arrived from the rear cut in from the flank and continued to press forward. The huge shields in their hands looked a little strange. Not only were they several times larger than the ordinary infantry shields, but they were also covered with a piece of black cloth. Nobody knew what it was for.
Sherrill of Black Raven City vaguely understood the enemy's commander's intention. He wanted to use continuous attacks to wear down his defense and find an opportunity to launch an all-out attack. But understanding was one thing, and he had no other choice. In fact, tactics were very simple and could be understood by anyone. The key was to choose the right tactic at the right time.
What he could do now was to deter the enemy by attacking at all costs and make them give up on this idea.
When the two infantry phalanxes were only two hundred meters away, Sherrill ordered all the Evil Eyes to launch a volley. A shocking scene occurred. When the light beams fell on the infantry phalanxes, the huge black cloth instantly turned into ashes, revealing countless huge shields that were as smooth as mirrors. In fact, those shields were mirrors! When Lang Ning decided to attack Black Raven City, he had already realized that he would have to fight the Evil Eyes and the Devil Snakes sooner or later. If he didn't make some preparations in secret, he wouldn't be Lang Ning.
The volley of thousands of Evil Eyes was all reflected back. Coincidentally, four magic cannonballs fell on the defensive magic formation at the same time. The light shield formed by the formation suddenly trembled violently. No matter how strong a magic formation was, it had its limits. Otherwise, as long as a magic formation was built, it would be invincible.
"Stop! Stop!" Sherrill screamed.
In the battle just now, the Evil Eyes had already developed a habit of continuously shooting rays. Coupled with the roar of the magic cannonballs covering Sherrill's screams, they still continued to attack with all their might.
"Idiots …" Sherrill had to raise his whip again. Fortunately, the magic crystal cannons on the other side had just run out of magic crystals and couldn't shoot continuously. Otherwise, the magic formation would be in great danger.
The soldiers holding the mirror shields were not afraid of the death rays at all. They pressed forward as if there was no one else around. Lang Ning had sent this army in advance because he had already seen that there was no Devil Snakes in Black Raven City. In this case, he could put pressure on the enemy without any worries.
Waves of magic waves came from the city wall. Spells poured down one after another. There were fireballs, lightning, wind blades, and icicles. In fact, these spells were not terrible. What was terrible was the sudden appearance of swamps and quicksand. The heavily armored soldiers were often submerged in the blink of an eye. However, the range of these spells was limited. The two infantry formations were not in a hurry to attack the city. They just slowly approached from the outside. There were also a few high-grade professionals hidden among the soldiers. From time to time, figures leaped into the air and released gorgeous fighting skills to intercept the spells pouring down.
Today was the worst day of Sherrill's life. From noon to dusk, his heart was in his throat. The enemy had taken turns to attack, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment. He couldn't remember how many times he had forced the enemy to retreat. The reason why he said he had forced them to retreat was because he knew that the enemy was only feinting. However, if his counterattack was not sharp enough to pose a threat to the enemy, the feint would immediately become a real attack.
No matter how capable he was, as a general who had followed Zagunéd for many years, he had too many reasons to judge that today was the day of the final battle. However, he couldn't understand why, nor could he find a way to deal with it. The forces in his hands were too limited.
When the sun set below the horizon, Lang Ning sent the mirror-shield infantrymen, who had rested for two hours, to the battlefield again. At the same time, the four infantry brigades that had rested for the whole afternoon also launched an attack. The magic crystal cannons that had been firing from time to time suddenly became active. White balls of light exploded one after another on Black Raven City.
Seeing this, Sherrill immediately jumped up. He knew that the battle that would decide his life and death had finally broken out. However, when he turned around and looked behind him, he saw that the thousands of Evil Eyes were already exhausted and couldn't shoot anymore. The Minotaurs were still energetic, but if they lost the city wall, they wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people. He had left a reserve team of about four hundred Evil Eyes and more than a hundred Devil Snakes. Could they withstand the attack of the enemy? Sherrill only felt bitterness in his mouth.
Closer, closer … Sherrill waited nervously for the enemy to enter the best shooting range. At this moment, the sky suddenly lit up. A soldier in heavy armor with a shield over his head stepped out of the formation. His body was burning with an extremely pure golden light, which was as thick as water and as bright as the morning sun. At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
The next moment, the soldier sprinted forward at an unimaginable speed, leaving a series of afterimages in the air. Although he looked like a bolt of lightning, he was much faster and more dazzling. It was as if the distance of several hundred meters didn't exist at all. In the blink of an eye, the spear in his hand had already hit the magic shield of Black Raven City. The magic shield, which had remained unscathed after withstanding thousands of bombardments from the magic crystal cannons, began to twist violently, like a bubble struggling in a gale.
"A supra … supra?" Sherrill jumped up and shouted crazily, "Attack! Attack! Kill him … "
Rays of light shot down, and the Devil Snakes desperately pulled their longbows. Large fireballs, lightning, and other magic fell like raindrops. The soldier had become everyone's target.
Perhaps it was because of the golden light, but the mirror shield in his hand was surprisingly strong. It wouldn't be strange if it only blocked the light of the Evil Eyes, but the arrows shot by the Devil Snakes and the magic released by the magicians were all blocked by the giant shield, which was really shocking.
However, their efforts were not in vain. The strong golden light was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
