The city walls of Kostantinye were tall and highly defensive. Ever since Fulgen became the owner of the city, he had been ordering the city walls to be strengthened. He had even received help from the lizardmen. The city walls were very sturdy and had a large number of fortifications, including double-layered walls and a large number of cannon openings. There were also many windows that could be used to design windows and a moat.
Now, this place had become the main target of attack for the army besieging the city. The Chaos, Dark Elves, Rat Men, and Ghost Pirates took turns to attack the Golden Gate.
The former Empire General Weidenfeller and the former Kislöw Marshal Yegorov were in charge of the defense of the Golden Gate. These two generals had been arguing for a long time about whether they should prioritize the battle outside the city. But at this moment, they were firmly united.
The soldiers from Kislöw and the Empire were at the forefront of the defense. They were brave and tenacious. The cannoneers, gunners, and crossbowmen poured down a dense barrage of cannon fire from the top of the city walls. They were now facing the Vashner Destroyer Army of Chaos.
The first wave of soldiers to charge up were the northern barbarians, Brute Warriors, and Chaos Warriors. These crazy and brutal soldiers had long been tired of the endless march. They rushed to the bottom of the city walls and used brass claws and siege ladders to scale the walls.
Facing these enemies who lacked sufficient siege weapons, the defenders appeared to be at ease. General Weidenfeller, dressed in full plate armor, strode back and forth on the city walls. He loudly scolded and reprimanded the soldiers, urging them to move faster. Dozens of Great Swordsmen moved together. They swung their large swords one after another and chopped all the enemies who had scaled the city walls into two.
The closest distance between the two armies was only three hundred meters. Both sides could clearly hear the sounds coming from the opposite side. It was the sound of metal clashing, the neighing of war horses, the prayers of the Chaos army before charging, and the roar of the cannons were incessant.
General Weidenfeller led dozens of great swordsmen to put out the fire. One by one, the Warriors of Chaos climbed up the wall. The rows of halberd squads and sword and shield squads were helpless against the heavy armor of the Warriors of Chaos. Only the greatswords of great swordsmen could penetrate the armor. The musketeers at the battlements kept firing bullets, and the cannons fired one after another.
At the same time, the Skaven Ratmen's cannons, which had occupied the arrowhead redoubt outside the city, also began to launch a fierce attack. The Ratmen's plague catapults and dimensional lightning cannons bombarded the city walls, and the fatal poisonous fog and explosions would blow away a piece of battlements and several soldiers every time. Even more soldiers were united, preparing to face the powerful enemy.
General Weidenfeller didn't know how many enemies there were outside the city. He could only see a black mass of troops. The purple, green, and black were either the Dark Elves or the Chaos Army. The green tsunami that was as magnificent as the ocean was the Skaven Rat Men's army. Finally, an endless stream of troops appeared from the north. The ones attacking from both sides were obviously Luthor Haken and his Undead Pirate Army.
General Weidenfeller, as a noble of the Rickwald Territory, had never encountered so many enemies. They were so powerful and numerous. The most enemies he faced in the Empire were the Orc tribes in the Rickwald Forest, a few scattered goblins and Orcs, as well as some bandits and Chaos Cultists. In his life, he had only gone north to the Nords Territory to fight against the Northern Barbarians. Because of the successful ambush and the personal leadership of Emperor Karl, the battle went smoothly. General Weidenfeller had always thought that mortals could rely on steel, gunpowder, and faith to solve their problems.
Until today.
Weidenfeller had to admit that he was afraid. He was terrified. He retreated. The Empire general couldn't help but tremble at the terrifying scene before him. He almost couldn't hold his sword.
If not for the fact that there was no way out, Weidenfeller really wanted to escape.
The fear of the former Empire general almost weakened the defense system until Army Commander Fogen personally came to the city walls. The appearance of the Army Commander made the soldiers explode with endless courage and confidence. The Phoenix Guards killed all the Army of Chaos that had rushed up the city walls. Fogen, in particular, displayed his true power. He pulled out the Spear of Sotigo, and the power of lightning and storm instantly pierced through the 200-meter-long defensive line. Then, he blasted a 35-meter-wide crater in the middle of the Chaos Army. This attack killed nearly 500 people!
The Vashner Terminator army was temporarily pushed back, even though the defensive line was on the verge of collapse.
However, Fogen couldn't stay on the western city wall for long. He immediately led his men to the southern city wall. There, the Skaven Rat Men army launched a fierce attack on the Kislöw army. There were so many Skaven Rat Men that in the first hour, thousands of slave rats and hundreds of clan rats died at the foot of the city walls. The gunmen fired until the barrels were hot, and the crossbowmen's quivers were constantly emptied and refilled. Wave after wave of dimensional stone barrages not only destroyed the morale of the defending army, but also destroyed their lives and spirits.
Fogen immediately ordered Master Engineer Jarek to lead the dwarven artillery regiment to deploy enough firepower to exchange fire with the Skaven Rat Men artillery. Cannons, mortars, and trebuchets fired together. The iron dragon hand cannons on the city wall spewed out long fire dragons, and each flame could engulf dozens of slave rats. The stench of barbecue and the sizzling sound of boiling oil constantly rang out. Every time the enhanced shotgun muskets fired, more than ten slave rats would fall off the city wall and cause a burst of intense cheers.
However, it was useless. God knew how many slave rats Lord Skook had under his command. In the nearly two-hour battle, the slave rats continued to attack the city wall endlessly. The professional soldiers could still hold on, but the conscripts were already beginning to feel tired and fearful. Fogen's appearance could be said to be very timely. The original body immediately ordered a rotation of troops, and at the same time, he personally controlled the dwarven heavy cannons. Under everyone's gaze, the cannons Fogen controlled hit all three targets, directly destroying two dimensional stone lightning cannons and a plague trebuchet. This ignited the cheers on the city wall, and also caused the Skaven Rat Men to be completely defeated. They had to reorganize their offensive. Lord Skook unhappily ordered a temporary halt to the attack.
But before Fogen had time to rearrange the battle order, another crisis came from the north wall!
The Undead Pirate King Luther – Haken's army had climbed up the north wall! The undead battleships that sailed on dry land launched the fiercest artillery bombardment at the north wall!
Three Beth Queen cannons and hundreds of cannons of various sizes that were specially transported by Luther – Haken fired at the same time!
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom! "
Accompanied by a deafening roar, shells whistled towards the city wall of Constantinople!
The city wall was shattered by the shells of the Beth Queen cannons! The sound of the explosion and the sound of the city wall collapsing made the ground tremble. Some of the weak city wall collapsed on the spot. The artillery fire of the undead pirates and the splashing of broken iron penetrated the flesh and armor of the defenders on the city wall, and their lives were harvested like straw.
Constantinople was on the verge of collapse under the artillery fire. The buildings in the city were besieged on three sides and shrouded in artillery fire. The people fled in horror and disintegrated.
The undead pirate army immediately poured into the city along the collapsed city walls like a tide!
Fogen's heart almost shrank when he saw the scene in front of him. He was worried that the north wall would be broken through, so he immediately rushed towards the north wall with his men!
However, at this time, a hero stood up. The commander of the Hunter Cavalry, Julius, who was waiting in the city, raised his lance and said, "Soldiers! What are we fighting for? "
"To protect our home!"
"Soldiers, what are we fighting for?"
"Fight for our glory!"
"Soldiers, let us show our determination to evil together. Today is the day we die generously for justice!" Julius pointed his lance at the undead pirates that rushed in through the gap in the city wall and said, "When the mission calls us, where are the Hunter Cavalry?"
"The Hunter Cavalry is here!"
"The Hunter Cavalry is here!"
"For glory, for justice, for the ladies and for virtue, for the Ash Legion!"
The Javelin Cavalry charged out of the city and formed multiple torrents of steel along the streets. Spears and scimitars rained down. Under Julius' command, the Javelin Cavalry Legion split into three groups and attacked the undead pirates who had just charged into the city. Almost instantly, the undead pirates who relied on their instincts and Luthor Haken's control were reduced to flying bone fragments under the iron hooves of the Javelin Cavalry Legion.
Julius personally led the charge. Laing's brother-in-law had never been so angry before. His lance pierced through several undead pirates, deck gunners, and finally a zombie demon before it finally broke. The commander of the Hunter Cavalry immediately drew the divine sword at his waist — a knight would not die if he beheaded the zombie demon with his bare hands.
In the vast sea of undead, under the protection of dozens of Deep Sea Guards, an undead pirate commander was commanding the follow-up troops to continue the attack. He faced the cavalry's charge head-on, and the musket in his hand blasted two bloody holes in the chests and heads of two Hunter Cavalry. Then, he took out his scimitar, and with a flash of sparks, the breastplate of a dragon knight was cut open and he was chopped off his warhorse. Then, with a simple spell, he blew up a group of Hunter Cavalry, who were quickly swallowed by the undead.
Seeing this, Julius charged straight at the undead pirate commander. The undead pirate commander foolishly thought that his scimitar could block the knight's longsword, but the divine power of the Goddess of the Lake was the undead's nemesis. As Julius raised the knight's sword high in the air, the blade burst out with the Goddess's moonlight and solar power, and the undead's vision was swallowed by the dazzling light.
So bright, so dazzling!
That was its last consciousness.
The commander of the Hunter Cavalry cut the undead pirate commander in half, and the divine power on the sword evaporated the skeleton. He raised his longsword and continued to attack. Julius knew that the cavalry could not stop.
Very quickly, all the death spirit pirates that had charged into the city were wiped out. Even those that had escaped were immediately eliminated. Julius even charged all the way out of the city. The Vashner Terminator immediately ordered the two armies of dark elves, the Cold Lizard Dreadknights, to attack together. The cavalry from both sides retreated after a probing clash. The Cold Lizard Dreadknights suffered heavy losses, but the Jaeger army also suffered heavy casualties.
Julius's bravery left a deep impression on the Army of Chaos.
The north wall was defended. The defenders immediately repaired the wall and strengthened the defense. The wizards chanted spells and tore open scrolls. Soon, a new solid wall rose from the ground. It was not as strong as the previous one, but it was enough for the time being.
At the same time, the Saint Sophia and the other warships of the Ashes Army, which were docked at the pier, fired their cannons in return. The cunning Luther Haken saw Fulgen appear on the north wall and immediately realized that he could not rely on his own strength to defeat such a terrifying enemy. He decided to retreat.
As Luther Haken's flagship was hit by the Saint Sophia's obsidian cannons, thick smoke billowed out. The defenders in the city immediately cheered in excitement. At the same time, the victory on land and sea gave the defenders confidence. In an instant, glory, courage, and faith seemed to have overshadowed the enemy besieging the city.
But soon, the defenders in the city realized that they had less than 20 minutes to rest. The three armies came back again.
In this way, after several hours, the exhausted defenders of Constantinia found that the enemy was still attacking the city walls. Several giant siege towers were placed on the Golden Gate. Hundreds of barbarian warriors and Chaos Warriors climbed up the city walls. They were only slaughtered when Fulgen arrived with the Phoenix Guards. The siege towers were destroyed one after another, but Fulgen had no time to consolidate the fruits of his victory. He had to immediately rush to the south wall. There, the Skaven Ratmen had used the corpses of the slave rats to build siege ladders.
It was another few hours of fierce attacks. The siege army's attack lasted from morning to noon, night, and then late at night. The enemy seemed to have an endless army. The attackers did not retreat, even though their losses were greater than those of the defenders. The dwarves' iron dragon hand cannons overheated and became paralyzed. The cannons' barrels burned red. The musketeers numbly reloaded their bullets. One section of the wall after another fell into the flames of war.
Dusk fell, and the siege of the city continued.
At this time, the Skaven Ratmen's tunnel was almost completed. Dozens of dimensional bombs were being placed at the bottom of the city walls.
The huge explosion meant that several gaps in the south wall had collapsed. Fulgen had no choice but to immediately rush to support the defenders with Julius's Javelin Legion. The fierce hand-to-hand combat caused the Kislöw soldiers defending the south wall to fall in the rubble. The brave Mrs. Kiesler used her body to turn into bricks and mud to block the gaps in the wall.
The former Kislöw Marshal Yegorov angrily ordered the army to regroup and launch a counterattack. He constantly patrolled the front line to boost morale. The sound of bells, horns, explosions, cries, roars, and yeses praising the horned rats and the battle roars of the defenders echoed like thunder on the battlefield.
"Today is the day to die for justice. Soldiers, for Constantinia! For the Legion Commander and the Ashes Corps! " Yegorov rode his warhorse and galloped on the city wall. Under his orders, the soldiers who had retreated due to panic gradually regrouped and returned to their posts.
A dimensional bomb blasted not far from where the former Kislöw Marshal Yegorov was and blasted three Kislöw soldiers into pieces. A few fragments of shattered breastplates burst out and deeply embedded in Yegorov's head, permanently stopping his orders.
Having lost their commander, the defense of the south wall instantly fell into chaos.
At this moment, the Nurgle vanguard and Lord of the Hive, Tyfons, who was watching the battle and lying in ambush outside the city, immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity! An opportunity to break through the defense and offer the entire city to the fat grandpa Nurgle!
Tyfons almost instantly asked Mortarion, who was watching the battle from a distance, to immediately lead the Nurgle demon army and a small team of Death Shrouds to take a detour and attack the city from the south wall.
However, this request was flatly rejected by Mortarion.
"This is not the right time. You have no right to order me, Tyfons!"
Therefore, after more than ten minutes, Fu Gen and the Phoenix Guards who had rushed over slaughtered all the Skaven Rat Men who had rushed into the city. Fu Gen raised the Spear of Sotigo, and the Snake God's storm enveloped the entire battlefield. Thousands of Skaven Rat Men and hundreds of Plague Monks were turned into scraps in the Snake God's storm, and the rest fled in panic.
The besieging army missed an extremely advantageous opportunity to break through the city's defense.
But the war still continued.
When the red sun appeared in the east of the city, the Evil Gods of Chaos were singing freely. After the sun had just risen and brought a pitiful hope, it was immediately swallowed by the dark clouds. The whole of Constantinia fell into a heavy rain, and the bloody battle continued.
After a short pause, the Terminator army launched a new round of attacks towards the Golden Gate.
In the muddy blood-colored swamp, over thousands of corpses, two whole armies of Warriors of Chaos and the Chosen of Chaos launched a new round of attacks!
The battle became more and more intense.
