Chapter 403: Sword attack
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh
The Yu Clan was indeed terrifying.
From armies to equipment, to battle experiences and skills, their overall strength could completely overpower the humankind!
After a massive battle against the four armies under Di Sha, Di Suo, Di Mo and Ju Xiu’s commands, Ji Hao thought he had already seen the real powers of Yu Clan armies. However, the current situation was a head-on blow, waking him up thoroughly!
The Yu Dynasty was divided according to twelve different branch bloodlines, which were the three ‘suns’ and nine ‘moons.' A powerful family of Blood Moon releasing all of their powers, how terrifying was that!
As Qian Tan’s uncle moved backward, the Qian Family armies, which had encircled the town, instantly began moving like an aroused beast.
Powered by powerful magic formations, thousands of square-shaped battering juggernauts swooshed towards the town as fast as a hurricane. Strings of crossbows buzzed on the city wall, releasing fierce arrows, while Kuafu Family warriors threw giant rocks down and treemen bashed their long and huge branches down the city wall. However, none of the above could stop those metal, extra-enormous battering juggernauts from approaching.
When these battering juggernauts reached less than half a mile away from the city wall, scaling ladders rose swiftly from them one after another, reaching the city wall like uncountable claws of malicious ghosts.
Followed by a series of creaking noises, thousands of thick and heavy scaling ladders clanged against the city wall. Specially crafted iron claws reached out from these ladders, deeply sinking into the wall, fixing the ladders firmly.
Before human warriors on the city wall could do anything to break those ladders, Blood Moon divine towers released a massive wave of lightning bolts, sweeping across the city wall like a storm. Wherever those blood-red lightning bolts darted across, scores of human warriors died in body-explosions. Their blood puffed up into the air, transforming into countless twisted, blood-red spell symbols, swishing in all directions.
Those blood-red spell symbols were as fierce as sharp arrows, wherever they flew across, groups of human warriors were smashed into meat paste. More blood condensed into spell symbols under the effect of the Blood Moon’s power, madly and randomly striking on the bodies of those human warriors. Human warriors guarding on the city wall were almost all wiped out.
Before back up warriors came onto the city wall from the town, following another wave of buzzing noise, tens of thousands of glaive-throwers roared out from behind those battering juggernauts. Countless thumb-thick, three feet long metal arrows rose into the air like an overwhelmingly large group of locusts, covering the top of the city wall up as if ready to destroy everything in this world.
Ahead of these glaive-throwers, groups of Jia Clan warriors pulled gigantic, metal longbows open, releasing giant-sized arrows towards the city wall one after another, which were large enough to be used as long spears by human warriors.
Spell symbols attached to those arrows shone with an eye-piercing light as the arrows landed on the city wall. Those arrows exploded, opening numerous holes on the layers of defensive light screens of the defensive magic formation, of this town. Uncountable different sized cracks appeared on the city wall, which was cast from metal as a whole, because of the explosions of those arrows.
“Kill!”
All human warriors guarding the city wall were wiped out. Ji Hao stood on the watchtower, looking at these Qian Family armies bursting with terrifyingly lethal powers, in a great shock.
The defending troops in the town hadn’t fought with full strength, even the power the defensive magic formation of this town had been weakened by a certain percentage on purpose. But Ji Hao was clearly aware that judging from the intensity of attacks launched currently by Qian Family armies, even if human warriors who guarded the city wall were all elites instead of condemned prisoner slaves, the result wouldn’t be much better than what those condemned prisoner slaves had achieved.
The surrounding area of the town was covered by attacking range of those long-range weapons. Meanwhile, millions of non-humankind slaves and slave warriors were growling ‘kill,' crazily rushing towards the city with their eyes shining brightly with a fierce blood-red light. They madly surged up to the top of the city wall through those scaling ladders, like black tidewater.
Tens of thousands of Yu Clan elite warriors lined up orderly in phalanxes, standing tens of miles away. Under the protection of a huge number of Jia Clan warriors and walls of solid, portable battle forts, they were holding magic wands in their hands and incanting spells. Blood-red light streams had been rotating in the erect eyes in the middle of their eyebrows. These Yu Clan warriors were constantly enchanting all kinds of secret magics to stimulate the powers of those slave warriors and slaves.
