Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2011 - 640: Needlepoint vs. Wheat Awn (Part 3)
The foreman of the woodworking workshop brought a plate of freshly cut and washed sweet melons, respectfully presenting it to Iverson.
The Little Giant released six giant iron barrels filled with melon oil, alcohol, and sugar, an ant iron magic teleportation circle, and a Forest Elves Mage from his Space Ring, arrogantly instructing the Mulan craftsmen around to move the giant barrels to six major arson points.
While others were sweating profusely, he and the Elves Mage were munching on desert sweet melon with honey dripping from their mouths.
After taking the last bite of melon, Iverson, with a mischievous smile, mounted a Blade Spider and wielding two Flame Swords, went on a slash and hack spree, even throwing in two free "flame meteors" aimed at the densest crowd of craftsmen.
As the startled craftsmen screamed and ran in all directions, Iverson lit six camel wool fire lines wound around a spool simultaneously, and together with the ready Forest Elves Mage, stepped onto the magic teleportation array and swiftly disappeared.
It must be stated that this sneak attack plan was actually submitted to Sabak in the Royal Capital by the Feilengcui Overlord in advance; however, Sal His Majesty and a group of injured soldiers were even bolder and more reckless than expected.

After the Berserk Halo swept the octopus cannon fodder, the attack and defense battle of Witherspoon finally reached the main event.
Having suffered great losses, Prince Similian and Prince Rhincor could not swallow this bitter pill, and even the Sirens, who initially had some war-weariness, were determined in their resolve to continue the siege.
Cannon fodder has always been the Sea Clan’s secret weapon for defeating enemies. Regardless of whether it’s Ares or Seia’s army sequences, eighty percent of their forces are made up of cannon fodder! "Daredevil Pills" can compensate for the inherent deficiency in combat power of these cannon fodder warriors with bravery and fanaticism; if it weren’t for this, despite the large population, how could the Sea Clan sweep across the continent?
According to the total population compared to the powerful combat races’ population, the Sea Clan’s true combat races, such as Magic Shark Warriors and Whale Warriors, are far less compared to Beamon’s powerful combat races’ proportion of the national total population!
In other words, the sudden inspiration of the Beamon priest precisely hit the Sea Clan’s sore spot.
The War Song Halo’s inclusion range is significantly broader than most attacking-type magic’s damage radius!
More frighteningly, the "Berserk War Song" belongs to the glorious hub rather than the wicked hub, and as long as one is a competent Beamon priest, they should be able to use this war song!
"This news cannot get out!" Prince Rhincor, disregarding his usual composed demeanor, shouted hoarsely to all the messengers: "Immediately notify the army groups in the other three directions, this time it’s not a feigned attack, this time we collectively launch a fierce attack on this city!"
"Why is Avril still not assembled? Immediately send someone to urge!" Prince Similian’s eyes were blood-red, even more ruthless than Mulanese, his tone was the most fiercely brutal ever: "I don’t care what excuse there’s, if in another four hundred and twenty whale veins I don’t see Avril stepping onto the battlefield, tear all assembly personnel apart on the spot!"
"Similian, if within four hundred and twenty whale veins we still haven’t captured this city wall, then we shouldn’t continue the fight!" Prince Rhincor stopped the order’s transmission: "If it really turns out like that, we must wait for the siege machinery to finish manufacturing half a month later before attempting another siege!"
"Can’t be blinded by rage." Siren Duchess Camilla nodded, expressing agreement with the Mermaid Prince’s words.
"How could it not be taken down!" Prince Similian’s eyes blazed, staring fixedly at the figure on Witherspoon’s city wall, whom he hated for life: "It must be possible! Because this time, we are using the best army!"
Five hundred Sea Snail Hornblowers simultaneously sounded the deep and distant attack horn.
On the front of the city wall at the south gate of the Fox Tribe’s city, the Hai Mu regiment, consisting of all elite units, began to slowly advance forward, with over twenty Giant Tortoises swaying their island-like bodies. Carrying teams of densely packed Mulanese soldiers on their shells, taking heavy steps that appeared slow, yet actually each step covered several tens of meters, advancing towards Witherspoon.
Occasionally, a few unlucky individuals slipped from the backs of these colossal models with lingering screams and fell to the ground, their fragile bodies crushed under the massive hooves of the Giant Tortoises, leaving both a resounding "splat" and a giant footprint imprinted on the hard soil of the barren field.
Emitting plumes of white steam from their chimneys, and "toot-toot-toot" ringing the clear whistle, the gnome siege vehicles advanced, one side tossing stone bullets with double-launch slings at the city wall, the other proceeded towards the city gate; Witherspoon’s Crossbow Artillery Corps posed little threat to these mechanical vehicles, where iron leaf arrows as thick as arms, when they did hit the gnome siege vehicles at long range, either rebounded due to the thick armor made by "Calantrilajin", knocking over infantry on the ground or bent into hooks from the powerful collision.
The throwing distance of the gnome siege vehicles far exceeds typical siege catapults; the stones they toss, not only have greater range and force, but are locked by chains into twin large stone balls that, after flying a certain distance in the air, straighten the chain and spread apart, greatly expanding their attack radius.
Upon hitting any object, the chained stone balls, through the leverage effect of the chains, produce powerful destruction as both stone balls simultaneously entwine and collide; Witherspoon’s highest geographical point on the main city wall’s south gate, the bell tower, was hit by just one chained stone ball, not only blasted the pavilion and the Archers inside into a gory mess but the giant copper bell used for alarms emitted a terrifyingly thunderous boom.
