Chapter 911 - Puppet City (1/2)
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
It was rumored that the Grey Beastmen weren’t natives of the Raging Flame Plane. Their ancestors were from another place, but by now the Grey Beastmen had been living in the Raging Flame Plane for countless years. After having developed to this point, even the other Beastman races of the Raging Flame Plane didn’t feel that they were outsiders.
As for their fort, it was clearly inconsistent with the style of other Beastman races. It was a neat and tidy rectangular prism.
From a distance, it looked like the city walls had been cut from a huge grey rock. Metallic luster could be seen flickering on the walls, and wisps of mana fluctuations could be felt, even from several kilometers away.
Lin Yun couldn’t help being somewhat amazed. He didn’t know what material had been used to make the city walls, but the outside was covered with a layer of forged magic metal.
The dense patterns and runes of the small array carved into every metal plate formed a powerful defensive effect.
Moreover, after the ashen-colored metal plates were assembled, they formed a huge array formation covering an entire wall. This greatly increased the defensive effect and rendered any spell under the 6th Tier useless.
He could also see huge and strange puppets standing atop the walls. They looked like mana crystal cannons… with very long legs.
Sure enough, by the time those fleeing Grey Beastmen entered the fort, a few puppets immediately started emitting fierce mana fluctuations that could be sensed from a distance.
Glaring blazing light started gathering within the mouths of those cannon-like puppets, and five seconds later, loud noises echoed as huge fireballs spurted out at the pursuing puppet army.
Every cannon puppet let out a huge fireball that fiercely exploded on the ground within a few hundred meters of the city wall.
“Rumble…”
Explosions similar to rolling thunder echoed. The earth started bursting open, forming a deep ravine between the city wall and the sword puppets.
And just as these puppets had started casting, Lin Yun had the puppet army and the mage army stop their chase.
If he hadn’t, the huge fireballs would have destroyed at least a dozen sword puppets.
“Sir Mafa, what now?”
Xiuban anxiously looked at Lin Yun with worry. These Grey Beastmen were too fragile… If they weren’t careful, they would accidentally kill them.
Lin Yun waved his hand and said, “Let’s surround them first…”
As he spoke those words, a group of puppets and Grey Beastmen appeared on the metallic wall facing them.
The surface of the wall was like a mirror covered with patterns, and it also exposed various black holes from which the mana cannon puppets were aiming.
In an instant, a large number of Grey Beastmen started casting towards Lin Yun’s side. The earth-shattering spells were akin to multi-colored rain falling towards them.
As for those long-legged cannon-like puppets, they kept casting, and their flames were following right behind the rain of spells.
As the blazing flames came out, they turned into ten-meter-long bursting fireballs flying towards Lin Yun’s side.
The Grey Beastmen were using their geographical advantage to launch a powerful counterattack.
On this side, the casting puppets and the mage army joined hands to cast a flood of spells towards the Grey Beastmen on the city wall, but the patterns on the wall suddenly shone brightly.
A layer of faint light covered the surface of the city wall, and the spells falling on top of it only made the patterns on the wall’s surface enlarge a bit. They simply couldn’t damage the city wall.
As for the Grey Beastmen, they were casting without restraint. The rain of spells lasted half a minute until Lin Yun made his subordinates withdraw five hundred meters away. Only then did the Grey Beastmen calm their attack.
Unless one had the power of an Archmage, they would have difficulty aiming from such a distance. Among the puppets, only the roughly six-meter-tall long-legged puppets shaped like mana crystal cannons could have such an attack range.
