The defenders in the square inside the city, who were on high alert, quickly moved forward. Hundreds of arrows were shot down, mixed with the sharp whistling of more than a dozen ballistae firing. The hunting whale knights who had just come out of the city gate leaned back violently. More than a dozen thick fine steel bolts were stuck in their bodies, as well as a small number of ordinary arrows that were stuck in their bodies.
"Continue to shoot!"
The commander of the guards waved his hand and roared. The second wave of arrows was shot again, and at the same time, there was the creaking of the winch of the ballistae.
This transcendent Naga endured the second wave of arrows and crawled out of the city gate to make way for the exit. The second Hunting Whale Knight rushed in through the city gate alley. His thick and powerful snake tail quickly swayed, sweeping the arrows and gravel on the ground everywhere. He roared and rushed toward the enemy's phalanx that was waiting for him in the square.
Then the third, the fourth, the fifth, and a large group of murlocs and lizardmen cannon fodder rushed in. The square was suddenly in a mess.
When a large group of Naga Fishmen attacked the city using the river water, the city gate would be breached. It was only a matter of time before the city would be taken down. The only difference was when the enemy would be completely defeated and how great the losses would be.
After all, the difference in strength was too big. They had not used their full strength. At least, the heroes under their command had not joined the battle. Not only did Shen Yuexin's hero, Lord of Divine Wrath, not join the battle, the seventy to eighty Warlocks of Divine Wrath had not joined the battle.
In addition, they had almost directly attacked the city in a surprise attack. Blood Duke Alfonsol was not prepared at all. The troops were not gathered. There were only less than twenty thousand guards in the headquarters. The other troops were not here.
One must know that when Lin Xiao faced the invasion of the Blood Earl, he had a Blood Army of thirty to forty thousand. The Duke was stronger than the Earl. There was no reason for him to only have this few troops.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Vampire Duke who was covered in a layer of invisible distortion. At this time, he could already feel a strong pressure that did not belong to the Vampire Duke Alfonsol slowly emerging. It was obvious that the Vampire Demigod valued this Legendary-level fanatic very much. He had already responded and was probably preparing to send a clone.
In a state of fanaticism, Alfonsol did not even care about his own territory. Without a Legendary-level Vampire like him, the city guards could not stop them at all.
Even if there were many Transcendent vampires in the city, it would be useless.
Without the advantage of the city, Naga was unstoppable with her Tyrant Body. In one breath, she defeated the guards at the city gate twice.
A fully armored Transcendent knight raised his blood-red greatsword and pointed it forward. The blood-red shadow flashed across a hundred meters and crashed into the back of a Transcendent Naga. The two-meter-long blood-red sword pierced through the thick scales and tough muscles, piercing into the body up to the hilt. The tip of the sword went through the body and came out from the other side.
The Hunting Whale Knight, who had been struck by the sword, twisted his body as if he wasn't injured at all. The Blood Knight tightened his grip on the sword hilt and tried to pull it out, but he was unable to do so. When the Hunting Whale Knight twisted his waist, his incomparably strong muscles clamped down on the blood sword, preventing him from pulling it out immediately.
This momentary mistake was fatal in a battle at the Transcendent level. Moreover, the Hunting Whale Knight was stronger than the Blood Knight in the first place. In this instant, the two greatswords slashed at the Blood Knight and his mount, who could not escape in time even though he had decisively abandoned his sword.
Two ear-piercing ripping noises were heard, followed by a miserable shriek. The Blood Knight and his horse were split into two halves, and even his thick armor was torn apart.
However, the moment the Blood Knight was killed, a pillar of flames several meters in diameter shot out from the central tower of the city and hit the Hunting Whale Knight. The terrifying power of the strategic-level spell directly burned the Hunting Whale Knight's body below the waist into ashes. The dark red flames produced by the explosion covered an area of several hundred meters. A huge crater was blasted out of the entire city gate. Countless Murloc Naga and their enemies died under this terrifying attack.
However, the terrifying power of the strategic-level spell did not affect Lin Xiao's devout and high-spirited minions. Those who had already rushed into the city continued to attack, while those behind continued to rush into the city through the gap.
The Hunting Whale Knights relied on their super strong physique and vitality to push forward by trading injuries for injuries. These Blood Knights who were stronger than the Blood Knights in the first place could not fight them at all.
In less than five minutes, more than half of the dozen or so Transcendent Blood Knights were killed or injured. The remaining ones led the remaining defenders to give up on the outskirts of the city and retreat to the three Magic Towers in the city.
These three Magic Towers were guarded by Duke Alfonso's Mage Corps. These Magic Towers were not the legendary Mage Towers, but a type of war building. They were not as powerful as Mage Towers, but they also had the ability to greatly enhance the spell power of the spellcasters in the tower and cast powerful strategic-level spells.
It had only been a dozen or so minutes since the siege began, and these three Magic Towers had already cast five waves of powerful strategic-level spells. Two Transcendent Great Naga minions had already died in battle, and four had to withdraw from the battle due to serious injuries.
However, the will of his minions was still strong enough. In the face of such terrifying spells, their morale was still high. On the contrary, the defenders in the city could not withstand such indiscriminate attacks and collapsed first. A small number of defenders had already given up resistance and fled into the city.
In the sky, a large number of Winged Ones had already crossed the city wall and entered the city. The many Winged Ones clustered around dozens of Thunder Winged Ones.
These Transcendent Thunder Winged Ones had the talent to control lightning. In addition, Shen Yuexin had specially added the profession of Thunder Warlock to them. The combination of the two was especially powerful.
They clenched their hands, and a bolt of lightning formed into a flaming blue lightning javelin that was as thick as an arm.
"Boom boom boom …"
Bolts of lightning that were as thick as an arm and two to three meters long exploded like missiles when they hit their targets. Countless bolts of lightning flew out and destroyed everything in the range.
The range of damage was not comparable to the Dragon Breath Fiery Explosion of the Kobold Dragon Bloodline Warlocks, but the damage within the range was terrifying. Moreover, the lightning also caused a large amount of additional damage to evil creatures such as the Undead Demons.
Vampires, on the other hand, were proper evil creatures. They were within the range of the lightning. Any non-Transcendent-level Vampires would be instantly killed by a single lightning javelin. Even Transcendent Blood Knights would be injured by this attack.
Dozens of Thunder Warlocks bombarded indiscriminately. The buildings around the three Magic Towers were all razed to the ground. A large number of soldiers were killed by the aftershock and fled in all directions. They were then intercepted and wiped out by the Murloc Naga minions who came from all directions.
Lin Xiao and the other two stood quietly in the void outside the city and looked in Alfonsol's direction. However, their eyes were not focused on the battle in the city. They did not even care about the three Magic Towers. These war buildings with great power but extremely long cooldown times were useless without allies fighting for time. Under the attacks of dozens of Thunder Warlocks, the Blood Mages in the Magic Towers were now exhausted from defending. They probably would not be able to use the next round of war spells.
Their focus was on the Vampire Duke, Alfonsol, who had finished his prayers. Under the continuous prayers of this Legendary-level fanatic and the deaths of a large number of believers, the Vampire Demigod finally answered his prayers and began to descend.
In their senses, a powerful and evil will appeared in this space. Its power was gathering.
If the three of them were to take action now, they could forcefully interrupt it before it descended. A Legendary-level Vampire would not be able to stop them.
However, there was no such 'if'. This was a good thing that they had been dreaming of. How could they interrupt it? They even hoped that the Vampire Demigod would send a few more incarnations over.
Before the Blood God descended, Lin Xiao, Lin Xu, and Shen Yuexin ordered their troops to retreat at the same time. They did not want their subordinates to be affected by the battle between the Legendary-level and above.
Compared to their expectations, the Vampire Duke, Alfonsol, recovered from his fanatical state after the Blood God he believed in answered his prayers and began to descend. When he saw that the situation below had been settled in just a short ten minutes, he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
If he was not a Legendary-level Vampire, he would have thought that he was under an illusion spell.
How could his city fall so quickly?
Where are my troops?
Where are my f * cking troops?
For some reason, Alfonsol felt that something was not right. However, when he sensed the divine power of the incarnation of the Blood God that was about to descend from the distorted void above his head, the uneasy feeling in his heart quickly disappeared. He regained his confidence.
Lin Xiao, who was far away, looked at the changes in Alfonsol's expression. He felt that it was interesting and a little envious.
A Demigod actually had Legendary-level fanatics. This was really enviable.
A Legendary-level fanatic could provide a lot of power of faith. In theory, a hundred Legendary-level fanatics could allow a God who had just ascended to godhood to maintain his own divinity level and not fall. According to the information that Lin Xiao had obtained, there were a few Vampire Dukes in the Vampire Kingdom. There were dozens of Marquis and Earl nobles. In addition to a large number of extraordinary fanatics, the quality of this Vampire Demigod's fanatics was quite good. In theory, it was enough to support a True God.
However, after living for so long, this Vampire Demigod was still only a Demigod. He was not even a high-level Demigod …
Well, Lin Xiao was a little doubtful about this. He suspected that this Vampire Demigod was not just an ordinary Demigod, but he had no evidence.
However, no matter if it was an ordinary Demigod or a high-level Demigod, there was one thing that could be confirmed. It was not easy to ascend to godhood.
After all, if one had the confidence to ignite the Divine Fire and ascend to godhood, no matter who it was, they would not let go of this opportunity. This Vampire Demigod had lived for so long and had yet to ascend to godhood. It could only be said that he did not have the confidence to ascend to godhood. Or it could be said that the conditions were not good enough to ascend to godhood.
They did not know what the Vampire Demigod was doing. The speed of his descent was rather slow. Their subordinates withdrew from the city one after another. His Divine Power Incarnation had not completely descended, but they could clearly sense that the Demigod's will had indeed descended. However, it was unreasonably slow.
It seemed like …
It was as if the Vampire Demigod was too far away from here and could not descend quickly.
Alfonsol stood alone in the void and felt that something was wrong. Why did the opponent stop attacking? What were they waiting for?
Lin Xiao and the others did not dare to move forward. They were afraid that they would scare the Blood God Incarnation away. Both parties were in a deadlock just like that.
Fortunately, after waiting for so long, a huge will appeared in this space. The distorted void above Alfonsol's head split open. A handsome, silver-haired Lin Xiao walked out from it.
