651 The kings’ mutiny Part 2 (1/2)

In a field battle, heavy infantrymen were always used as the main force to deal with heavy cavalrymen. When heavy infantrymen were sent to invade a city, equipment would become a problem. A few nations could organize an army, with soldiers above the standard of a swordmaster, to invade other lands.

When a person cultivated the Sword Aura to a swordmaster's standard, their Sword Aura could be released from their body and be attached to equipment. Examples included armor, swords, or even feather arrows. Even if a swordmaster donned heavy armor, they could still leap to insane heights.

Usually, a high grade swordmaster who was one grade lower would only possess strength which was slightly higher than that of a normal human and the duration of sustaining this strength would be longer. Unless magic armor was donned, a swordsman with heavy armor only had a sustained duration of between one to six hours, according to their grades.

Currently, heavy infantrymen had begun appearing in the midst of the cannon fodder who were charging towards the city walls. The heavy infantrymen radiated brilliance, they had obviously been forcefully blessed with divine spells, their speed and strength had been boosted by dozens of times.

For the first time, Saleen saw that heavy infantrymen were running as quickly as cavalrymen. Even though the distance was only about a mile, this scene was still pretty horrifying. Saleen's heavy infantrymen, who were battling at the city entrance, could not travel at such a high speed. This skill of increasing a human's speed forcefully would deal severe damage to their life.

So what if these soldiers were injured? This time around, the Holy See had spared no effort, it wanted to flatten Metatrin City. They had no qualms sacrificing all the expeditionary troops.

Only holy masters above grade-4 could cause such an effect. The Holy See's army had begun employing intermediate grade holy masters and they were used in large numbers.

At this point in time, Saleen started to regret that he did not produce high level magic armor in huge quantities. ”If my commanders are wearing high level magic armor, then my orders can be relayed to every combat unit immediately.”

Saleen could only order all the battlements to rise up and fire the alchemical arrows at the same time as the fixed battlements. Fortunately for Saleen, he had obtained all the red krill shells during his first hunt, then made them into equipment. Saleen had made the thorns of the red krill into the arrowheads for the alchemical arrows

Even though red krill were a relatively weaker grade-4 magic beast, their strongest attack was the thorn. The material of this part made them worthy of being labeled as grade-4 magic beasts. Even if arrowheads made from these thorns were selling for dozens of gold coins people were still willing to purchase them.

Such materials were more durable than metal. As long as the crafting technique was superior, the arrowhead would possess massive penetrative ability. Red krill relied on this thorn to survive in the ocean. When tens of thousands of red krill used their thorns to attack simultaneously even a grade-9 magic beast would have to go into hiding.

Even Holy Rock City could not be as prodigal as Saleen, each thorn was maximized and it was crafted into three or four arrowheads. Saleen had allocated these over three-hundred-thousand alchemical arrows to the five camps. The city walls over at the western face were given over one-hundred-thousand of these arrows.

That was what Saleen meant by using money to flood the enemy.

When such alchemical arrows were used they could still be recycled and used repeatedly, but they were much cheaper than magic scrolls. Of the battlements at the city entrance, those who could be raised and lowered were utilizing miniature alchemical crossbows. Since the fixed battlements possessed strong defensive power, intermediate and large alchemical crossbows were installed in them.

Since the enemy had intensified their offensive, Saleen displayed his true techniques.

These alchemical crossbows were accurate. At the same time, over one-thousand arrows flew out from the city entrance. Saleen had held back certain techniques in this attack. If the enemy's holy masters tried to fly, Saleen would have more alchemical crossbows awaiting them.

Before Lex left, the majority of equipment she had crafted for Saleen were alchemical crossbows. Saleen had contributed a huge quantity of magic nuclei because of this. Now was the time to receive rewards. Saleen's alchemical crossbows were almost fifty percent accurate, these over one-thousand arrows killed more than five-hundred heavy infantrymen simultaneously.

Tanggulasi's heavy infantrymen donned white steel armor. Their helmets were crafted as a whole, so an ax might not be able to slice it open. Each heavy infantryman held a circular metal shield in their left hand. These heavy infantrymen were agile. Sensing that arrows were approaching, they actually reacted in time. They had used the circular shields to protect their vital organs beforehand.

At this moment, the thorns of the red krill unleashed a massive function; penetration.

It was as though Saleen had tossed tens of thousands of gold coins down the city walls. There was a chain of alluring sounds. The circular metal shields and white steel helmets were as weak as paper in the face of the alchemical arrows.

At this point in time the magic arrays around Saleen became fully activated, he could finally interact with the mages stationed in the battlements. These battlements were extremely crucial. With the battlements around, Saleen would not have to care about the enemy's offensive. One-thousand years ago, using one's physical body to resist magic equipment had already been proven to be a very stupid idea.

Even though the sacred knights were very mighty, they were also disintegrated before Holy Rock City. Legend had it that the armor of the sacred knights contained the ability to fly. Long ago Holy See only utilized experts who were above the standard of swordmasters, there were no weaklings within the army. Even so, the walls of Holy Rock City formed a natural moat.

The moment the magic clock sounded, all areas within a radius of one-hundred miles would be inside the attack range, there were no exceptions.
