Chapter 1639: Suffer Losses

”Haha, haha, hah!” Carrying a heavy spear and wrapped in a raging fire, Ji Xia was ready to start a massacre. But, on seeing the enemies stand on the ladders about a hundred meters away from the city wall without knowing what to do, Ji Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud. He raised his left hand, clenched his fingers, and gathered the fire power in his palm. Within a blink of an eye, a bowl-sized crimson fire thunder bomb grew rumblingly in his palm.

Flicking his fingers, Ji Xia released the fire thunder bomb.

Boom!

Surrounded by the nine tiny dragons, the bomb swiftly bumped against a ladder and vented a strong, raging fire. Thin thunder bolts twisting in the fire struck on the tens of warriors on the ladder and made them fall to the ground while howling.

Yi Di and his warriors had been laughing wildly as well. They pulled open their bows and released a wave of arrows towards the enemies on top of the ladders.

A hundred meters was such a short distance. Not to mention the Eastern Wasteland archers under Yi Di's command, even Yu Mu, who was usually the slowest one, had now been grinningly holding a longbow and shooting arrows accurately towards the enemies on the ladder.

The arrows dove down from the sky, sending the warriors on the ladders down to the ground like raindrops that rippled the water in the city moat. Enormous octopus tentacles wriggled out of the water and dragged all the fallen warriors down to the bottom.

Finally, some enemies couldn't stand the anger and fear. They gripped their shields and carried their long blades, bursting into raging shouts as they leaped up from the top of the ladders against the rain of arrows with all their strength, and attempting to climb up to the city wall.

At the moment, the ladders were still about a hundred meters away from the city wall, and meters lower than the top of the wall. Normally, any relatively stronger human warrior could easily cover this distance. But, suppressed by the heaven and earth great formation, not even Divine Magi could hop onto the city wall.

Large groups of warriors leaped up from the ladders. While roaring, they reached forward for tens of meters. But, they all began falling from about thirty meters away to the city wall.

In the city moat, enormous octopus tentacles had been waving happily, coiling around those warriors even before they fell into the river.

Far behind the area, Gong Sun Lang stared at those ladders, which were shorter than they were supposed to be for an unknown reason, and could not say a word within a long while.

This kind of ladder was designed especially for the Chi Ban Mountain line of defense, to allow human warriors to launch a counteroffensive on the campsites and forts on mountaintops which belonged to the humankind but were occupied by the non-humankind, under the effects of the space sealing magic cast by non-humankind enchanters.

Chi Ban Mountain was cliffy, and any cliff in that area could be thousands of meters tall. Therefore, these ladders should at least be thousands of meters long. Gong Sun Lang's warriors should have been able to easily cross the river and reach the top of the city wall with them.
