A new day had arrived, and a new battle had begun!
The sun had just risen when Constantine and Alphonso once again led the 40,000 strong army and launched a new round of attacks on the Flame Demon tribe's walls.
This time, they carried even more siege ladders.
Just like the day before, they were first hit by a volley of ballista bolts and then by a wave of catapults. This time, however, they were really throwing stones. Sumara also gave up on using lime bombs. He didn't have many fish oil bombs left, so he couldn't bear to use them now.
After approaching 200 meters from the walls, they entered the archery range of the 20,000 soldiers on the walls. It was truly a volley of arrows.
However, the number of casualties caused by the volley of arrows this time was much smaller. This was because the 40,000 strong army of the Silver Alliance was already holding up a shield.
This shield was very simple. It was just a thick wooden plank, but it was enough to block most of the arrows.
After paying the price of 2,000 casualties, the 40,000 strong army of the Silver Alliance once again rushed to the top of the walls. Once again, they set up over 100 siege ladders and climbed up like a tidal wave.
One had to admit that the barbarian soldiers were really brave.
Yesterday's battle had been so tragic, and there had been so many casualties, but they were still climbing up ferociously today.
With the confidence of yesterday's great victory, the defenders on the walls of the Flame Demon tribe didn't panic.
They used bows and arrows to kill the soldiers climbing up, and they used rolling logs and stones to smash them down.
However, today's results weren't as good as yesterday's. This was because the Silver Alliance's soldiers were already able to block a considerable portion of the arrows. The barbarian soldiers were also valiant. As long as they weren't hit in vital areas, they would continue to climb up with all their might.
Furthermore, the Silver Alliance troops that had attacked the city previously didn't have bows and arrows. Today, they also put on bows and arrows and fired at each other below the walls, causing the defenders of the Flame Demon tribe to suffer many casualties.
Because there weren't many fish oil bombs left, Sumara restrained himself from using them from the start. He only used bows and arrows, stones, and rolling logs to block the enemy from climbing up.
However, the results weren't good.
Including the siege ladders from yesterday, there were close to 200 siege ladders on the walls today.
At the same time, there were more than 3,000 to 4,000 barbarian soldiers on the walls.
Meanwhile, the 20,000 to 30,000 barbarian soldiers below were still using bows and arrows to counterattack!
In the blink of an eye, thousands of barbarian soldiers had successfully climbed up the walls!
"Fish oil bullets, attack!"
At Soma's command, the soldiers, who had long been itching for fish oil, smashed the clay jars.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Countless pots were smashed, and the fish oil inside splashed on the bodies of the attacking barbarians and the siege ladders!
Then …
The fire arrows whizzed out!
Once again, the flames engulfed the walls and almost all the siege ladders.
The familiar and mournful screams once again rang out incessantly in their ears.
A hellish death once again befell the army of the Silver Alliance.
On the entire city wall, countless barbarian soldiers were burning fiercely.
Suo Mo sighed in his heart. Fire attacks were still more powerful, and fish oil bullets were still more useful.
The ferocious attack of the Brute Race army was immediately halted.
Not only that, but because of the raging flames and billowing smoke, the soldiers below the city walls could no longer aim their arrows and suppress the people on the city walls.
This fish oil bomb was simply a divine weapon to defend a city.
Unfortunately, there weren't enough of them.
In an entire month, the Flame Demon Tribe had refined two hundred and eighty thousand kilograms of fish oil. Originally, they had thought that this was an astronomical number and that they definitely wouldn't be able to use it all.
They hadn't expected that this thing would be so useless in a real battle.
The situation of the battle began to repeat yesterday's situation.
Even if the barbarian soldiers had brought shields, it was of no use. It was even worse, because these shields were all made of wood. After being burned, they became fuel for the fire instead.
Below the city wall, more than a hundred siege ladders once again became a burning hell that devoured lives!
The seven-kilometer-long city wall once again became a meat grinder, and the soldiers of the Silver Alliance once again piled up with human lives.
Casualties: three thousand, five thousand, seven thousand …
If it were a human army, they would have long since collapsed and fled.
But this group of rough and valiant barbarian soldiers continued to charge up like ants.
They used water and mud to extinguish the flames.
Their hands and feet wrapped in soaked fur as they held the scalding siege ladders and climbed up.
…
Two hours later!
Only two-thirds of the Silver Alliance's forty-thousand-strong army was left.
The corpses below the city wall had already piled up more than two meters high. The air was filled with the stench of burnt flesh.
All the corpses had been burned beyond recognition.
In the six hours of fierce battle yesterday, they had used 210,000 kilograms of fish oil and caused 15,000 casualties to the barbarians.
Today, in just two hours, they had used 70,000 kilograms of fish oil to cause more than 10,000 casualties.
The accuracy and efficiency of the Fish Oil Bullets had been greatly improved!
But …
In the end, the bad news that he had expected still came.
They had run out of fish oil bombs!
Even though the thousands of women in the inner city were still boiling fish oil, it was already a drop in the bucket.
The real test of the Flame Demon Tribe's soldiers had arrived. The real crisis had arrived.
Soon, they would have to fight in close combat!
…
The battlefield was like a scale.
After the Flame Demon Tribe used up the fish oil bombs, the scale tilted in their favor. After the fish oil bombs were used up, the scale of victory gradually tilted in the Silver Alliance's favor.
First, the flames on the siege ladders gradually extinguished.
Then, more and more barbarian soldiers climbed up.
It was no longer possible to kill them all by smashing stones, rolling logs, and shooting arrows.
Fifteen minutes after the fish oil bombs were used up, the first barbarian soldier climbed up the city wall.
Even though he was quickly killed and his corpse fell.
But the second, the third, the fourth …
More and more barbarian soldiers rushed up!
Suo Mo, Gangtuo, Duo Duo, and Duo Long, these four experts were each in charge of a kilometer of the city wall.
In the entire Flame Demon Tribe, there were about 30 Great Demon Warriors and about 300 Demon Warriors.
The most elite experts were at the forefront, at the most dangerous place.
The siege ladders were at the most dangerous place.
"Brothers, it's time to see blood!" Suo Mo roared, pulled out his huge sword, and fiercely slashed at the barbarian soldiers charging up.
In an instant, two barbarian soldiers were chopped into four pieces.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
The Flame Demon Tribe elites on the city wall pulled out their sharp blades.
The battlefield had entered the cruelest and most bloody melee battle!
…
Kill, kill, kill …
Wave after wave of barbarian soldiers climbed up the siege ladders, only to have their heads chopped off and their halves falling down.
The Flame Demon Tribe elites guarding the siege ladders frantically waved their blades and slashed wildly, reaping lives in a frenzy.
He had killed three, five, ten, fifteen …
When the blades were bent, they continued to kill!
When the blades were chipped, they continued to kill!
When the blades were bent, the soldiers behind would immediately hand over an even sharper blade.
Just like that, they killed and fought without knowing fatigue.
At the beginning of the melee, the Flame Demon Tribe was still full of advantages.
Because the ones fighting were all elite warriors of the tribe, they were at ease on top of the city wall.
And with more than a hundred siege ladders, at most two or three hundred people could charge up the city wall at once.
The entire battlefield was still a terrifying meat grinder.
The Silver Alliance's second wave of forty thousand soldiers suffered shocking casualties once again.
…
"Put up the hooks!" Constantine ordered.
All the flames had been extinguished, so they could rest assured with the hooks on the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …" The thousands of soldiers below the city wall all threw up their hooks and hooked them onto the battlements, then did their best to climb up.
"Cut the ropes!"
The Flame Demon Tribe's defenders waved their blades with all their might, cutting the ropes.
The barbarian soldiers climbing up kept falling down.
However, the hooks were practically endless.
More and more people climbed up the city wall.
More and more enemies joined in on the melee!
The city wall was covered in blood, severed limbs, and corpses!
The Devil King Centaur Naishu and the leader of the Silver Alliance couldn't help but narrow their eyes when they saw this tragic battle.
They hadn't expected the Flame Demon Tribe's soldiers to be so brave and full of vigor.
They had thought that once they charged up the city wall, the enemy would collapse.
However, it turned out to be an evenly matched battle. In fact, the Silver Alliance's barbarian army's casualties were even greater.
…
At this time, Lan Ling was leading the six thousand Centaur Cavalrymen in the dense forest on the mountain a few thousand meters away. They could clearly see the battle situation here.
"Master, your people are very brave," Khan Xeli said.
Lan Ling nodded.
The Flame Demon Tribe's defenders were much braver and stronger than he had imagined.
According to his predictions, once the enemy climbed up the city wall and engaged in melee combat, the Flame Demon Tribe would immediately be at a disadvantage.
However, he hadn't expected them to be evenly matched, and even have the upper hand.
"Master, it's almost time. If you wait any longer, your people will suffer heavy casualties," Khan Xeli said.
Lan Ling waved her hand and shook it.
It wasn't time yet. He wanted to appear when the Flame Demon Tribe was at its most desperate.
He wanted the Flame Demon Tribe's army to feel the feeling of death and destruction. This was a very subtle feeling. After surviving a desperate situation, the soldiers' mental fortitude would become even stronger. In the future, when faced with danger, they would also be calmer and braver!
…
The cruel battle continued!
The Flame Demon Tribe's defenders repelled wave after wave of enemy attacks.
Even the most elite warriors of the Flame Demon Tribe didn't know how many sabers they had exchanged, nor how many wounds they had sustained.
Fortunately, under Søren's orders, the most elite soldiers had all donned thick armor. Otherwise, who knew how many people would have died by now.
Time passed, and the sun rose into the sky!
Both Lan Ling and Nai Shu had predicted that the battle would end at noon.
However, it was already noon at this time.
The tragic battle continued. The Flame Demon Tribe's walls still hadn't been breached, and even the Flame Demon Tribe's defenders' morale hadn't collapsed!
The corpses at the bottom of the wall had already piled up three to four meters high.
The corpses on the wall were also densely packed.
Not only the Silver Alliance's army, but the Flame Demon Tribe's defenders had also suffered heavy casualties.
Lan Ling's heart was really cold and hard.
These were his people, his soldiers. For the sake of tempering his army, he could only watch as his soldiers fell one by one.
Lan Ling gathered his spiritual power and looked at the wall.
Instantly, the scene on the wall was suddenly pulled in.
He clearly saw that even the most elite Flame Demon Tribe warriors' gazes were starting to become numb.
There was no fear, no expression, just killing mechanically.
The expressions on their faces were ferocious, but they were completely stiff.
Time was up. If this continued, they would really suffer heavy injuries and die!
And at this moment!
Nai Shu suddenly shouted, "Sound the gongs to retreat!"
Instantly, the bell rang!
The enemies fighting on the battlefield were at a loss at first, and then they staggered back!
When the defenders on the wall saw the enemy retreat, they were first stunned, then their legs turned to jelly, and they directly sat on the ground. Many of the warriors even dropped their weapons.
The Silver Alliance's Alliance Master said, "Son-In-Law, the enemy is clearly dying. Why are you retreating?"
Nai Shu said, "Right now, the enemy can still rely on their courage and inertia to fight. Once I retreat, their tense bodies and nerves will relax, and the strength in their bodies will completely dissipate. When the battle starts again, they won't even be able to lift their weapons. Then, it will be time for us to slaughter them."
The Silver Alliance's Alliance Master immediately flattered, "Son-In-Law is wise!"
After the second wave of the army completely retreated, they did a headcount. Of the 40,000 soldiers, only about 10,000 had returned alive.
In today's battle, there were 30,000 casualties.
In addition to yesterday's casualties, the Silver Alliance's 120,000 soldiers had already lost close to 50,000, leaving only 70,000 people.
No one had expected such an outcome. Attacking a Flame Demon Tribe with close to 20,000 defenders, they had actually lost 50,000 people, and they hadn't even conquered it!
An hour later, it was around 3 PM in the afternoon!
Nai Shu ordered, "Sound the war drums. Mobilize the entire army. Within an hour, end the battle and break through the Flame Demon Tribe!"
The shocking war drums sounded!
Dong, dong, dong, dong...
The 70,000 soldiers of the Silver Alliance were like a black tide, charging towards the Flame Demon Tribe's wall!
...
On the Flame Demon Tribe's wall...
Only 13,000 of the 20,000 defenders were left!
All the resources had been used up. There weren't many fish oil bombs, huge rocks, rolling logs, and even arrows left.
The 70,000 barbarians charged like a tide.
The final battle was here!
Suo Mo pulled out his broken sword and roared, "Prepare for battle!"
On the wall, more than 10,000 Flame Demon Tribe soldiers stood up and once again raised their broken swords and sabers!
Almost every one of them was covered in injuries!
After a short rest, not only did their strength not recover, but it had also completely disappeared.
The pain and soreness in their bodies kept assaulting them.
They really didn't have much strength left!
Looking at the 70,000 incoming enemy troops, the Flame Demon Tribe's defenders looked at each other and saw despair and determination in each other's eyes!
Suo Mo looked into the distance with an extremely painful gaze and muttered to himself, "Little Ling, if you still don't appear, the Flame Demon Tribe will be destroyed!"
It was already impossible to defend the next battle.
The moment of despair had arrived!
Suo Mo suddenly roared, "Brothers, live and die with the wall, live and die with the tribe!"
"Live and die with the wall, live and die with the tribe!"
...
Bang, bang, bang...
A short distance of a few hundred meters, the 70,000 barbarians instantly rushed to the bottom of the wall.
Like a black tide, they were about to completely drown the entire Flame Demon Tribe.
At that moment, within the tribe, Gou Li took a deep breath.
The final moment had arrived. The Flame Demon Tribe was going to be destroyed.
She was going to take action. She was going to capture Lan Ling's daughter and wife Dina as hostages in the shortest time possible. She was going to use his daughter to force Lan Ling to hand over the antidote and use Dina as a tribute to Devil King's son-in-law, Nai Shu.
After all, she was Lan Ling's wife, and she was pregnant!
Furthermore, Gou Li was very confident in her own beauty now. She could totally become Nai Shu's woman.
"Lan Ling, every man for himself!" Gou Li rushed towards the cave where Dina and the little girl were!
...
"The time to massacre is here!"
Nai Shu sneered and roared, "Exterminate the Flame Demon Tribe and leave no one alive. Kill them all, burn them all, rob them all, rape them all! "
"Long live, long live, long live..."
The 70,000 barbarians charged forward crazily as though they were on steroids.
Suo Mo looked at the ten thousand-odd injured guards and said slowly, "It is my life's honor to be able to fight alongside everyone. Brothers, we will meet again in the next life. Kill, kill, kill!"
"Brothers, we will meet again in the next life!"
"Live and die with the city, kill!"
The time of death and destruction had officially arrived.
The Flame Demon Tribe's brothers were not afraid of death. They only had one thought in their minds.
Where was their chief?
Lan Ling took a deep breath and said, "The time of destruction has arrived. Kill... kill all your enemies!"
Lan Ling pulled out his saber and rode on a shockingly huge warhorse. He led the 6,000 centaurs and charged down from the mountain!
In an instant, the earth shook and the sky changed color!
