Bang! Bang!
Hot on the heels of the Stone General's first fist was the second. One punch after another flew at the rhino-shaped Behemoth's head. In this short period of time, the Stone General had thrown six punches, each one with incredible weight behind it. This was the strength of warriors, something that pure beasts could not possess.
But the Behemoth's counterattack was also extremely vicious. With a toss of its horn, it smashed into the Stone General. Boom! Crack! The enormous Stone General formed from six experts was blown to pieces with just a single strike of the Behemoth's overwhelming strength. The six men along with countless rocks flew out from the wreckage like they had been fired from cannons.
Plush!
While still in the air, Huang Botian trembled and vomited blood.
”Too powerful!”
Huang Botian's unfocused eyes were wide open, his face pale as he felt a deep despair. The six of them had combined their strength into a massive Stone General, but in front of that dreadful Behemoth, they had been like a blade of grass, not even worth a mention.
Milord, I've done all I could. You'll have to rely on yourselves now!
With this final thought, Huang Botian fell unconscious.
”General Huang!”
Cries of alarm rose from the Tang soldiers on the ground. Everything had happened too quickly. From the moment Huang Botian and his men had combined their might into the Stone General to the moment they been knocked away, not even a full second had passed. Not even Wang Chong had time to react, much less anyone else.
”Someone, hurry and save General Huang's men!”
”Yes!”
Wang Chong had barely spoken before Xue Qianjun lunged forward with several elites, headed in the direction that Huang Botian's men had been sent flying. But the crisis had only just begun. The enraged Behemoth's eyes were bloodshot, and it was approaching the walls with a terrifying speed.
Five hundred zhang, four hundred zhang, three hundred zhang…
The Behemoth was now less than one thousand meters from the steel defense line, and its speed was faster than ever. Its four pillar-like legs swiftly rose and fell, each stomp thundering on everyone's hearts, unleashing earth-shattering jolts and quakes.
Hwoom!
The fierce winds stirred dust and sand that clouded the area in front of the defense line, but the Behemoth's body was clear and visible. The enormous golden horn seemed to have pierced the skies, and the contemptuous gaze of its eyes of blood struck fear into all the soldiers. With the battle imminent, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it became difficult to breathe.
There was no more time to think about the crisis or how to escape. Countless gazes were now focused on the enormous beast.
Two hundred zhang!
The distance was closing!
”Ballistae! Ready!”
A cold and determined voice resounded through the air. Wang Chong stood on a steel wall, his hair blowing in the wind, his eyes shining with unprecedented focus. In a flash of cold light, Wang Chong swept his sword through the air, allowing the sun to reflect upon its edge.
Creakcreak!
The ballista began to ready up behind the first defense line!
