Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2012 - 640: Pointed Confrontation (Part 4)
Twenty thousand Shele slave archers were driven forward by the camel cavalry, fearfully advancing towards a battlefield that felt like a bloody meat grinder, the sight of heaps of octopus warrior corpses ahead sending chills down their spines.
This scale of battle in the Taklamago Desert was simply unimaginable, and the enemy’s tenacity left these slaves, lacking strong willpower, detached and moving mechanically.
"Quick, quick!" One Mulan Yabushan after another drew their shining curved blades, and if they saw any slave moving slowly, they would kick them down with camel hooves and behead them with a single strike.
On the city wall at the south gate of Witherspoon City, a deathly silence prevailed, while spirited Bimon warriors continuously climbed the stone steps onto the wall, filling the frontline positions; busy vassal clan engineers hurriedly patched the damaged parapets and battlements with bricks and lychee glue, transporting wounded soldiers, arrows, logs, and rolling stones.
"I saw the figures of Bull, Pier, Wolf, and Rhincor and Taige!" Prince Rhincor angrily kicked over the Mulan bronze lookout in front of him: "The Bimon Kingdom seems to have brought all their main battle troops to this city!"
"All Storm Splitter mages, stay tight behind the Shele archers for now, don’t enter the firing range yet!" Prince Similian’s throat was hoarse as he shouted from atop a camel war chariot: "Uncle, when will our strong warriors take action?"
"Don’t rush, let the Mulanese go up and charge first!" Prince Rhincor gritted his teeth almost to the point of breaking them, as the city seemed to have gathered a large number of strong Bimon warriors, which inevitably caused him a subtle fear for the battle’s outcome; Pier, Orephin, and Bull were from races born with supernatural strength, each individual capable of handling a hundred enemies, and as the formation gradually advanced, Prince Coral Top was startled to find these Bimon warriors were equipped with expensive high-quality steel battle armor and superior weapons.
Such Bimon warriors are opponents that any army is reluctant to face, even if they don’t have mages; to defeat them, one must be prepared for double to ten times the casualties.
If not for the Mulan allies’ help this time, Prince Rhincor would definitely stop the siege now, wait until the heavy machinery was ready, and then compete with these powerful Bimon warriors.
Quickly, the Waterless Barrier on Witherspoon’s city wall mingled again with the Sea Clan’s Moisture Retention Barrier, the air filled with a dry and salty stench that diluted the recent bloodiness; the coverage of the Waterless Barrier was far less vast than the Sea Clan’s "An’erle Moisture Retention Array," covering an area of less than two thousand square meters, unable to cover the entire city wall except by sheer numbers.
Taking advantage of the recent great defeat of the octopus warriors, Liu Zhenhuan destroyed their "An’erle Moisture Retention Array."
This eastern-style formation, resembling a bagua iron plate, was not large in size, hence its concealment was extremely high; if the octopus warriors hadn’t been scared out of their wits, accidentally exposing it in the crowd, plus Liu Zhenhuan’s slight luck, it wouldn’t have been possible to pinpoint its position.
Without the protection of the "An’erle Moisture Retention Array," all octopus warriors were like fish on dry land; even if they escaped the baptism of the "Berserk War Song," they were still deprived of the possibility of continuing to survive; they could only futilely grab their throats, kneel on the ground, and breathe heavily in the thin air, ultimately dying of suffocation.
Seeing the enemy’s main force preparing to unleash power, Beamon officers on the city wall monitored the enemy’s every move with remote reconnaissance equipment and made appropriate force adjustments; Liu Zhenhuan scanned with Hawkeye for a while but couldn’t locate where the Sea Clan main force’s "An’erle Moisture Retention Array" was hidden.
The main Sea Clan force was clearly not dumb enough to easily expose their lifeline.
"Robert! Have you contacted ’the Answer’?" When the answer was negative, Liu Zhenhuan was so angry he almost snapped the Wolf Fang Club in two.
"Calm down." Mermaid Wei Zhi obediently massaged Old Liu’s shoulders: "Would you like me to sing a song for you?"
Upon hearing this, Old Liu couldn’t remain angry.
Helen and Mo’er were each holding a Bone Horn Box, softly calling for help, showing no sign of tension despite the approaching battle.
"Little Five, for old times’ sake, you must help Brother out this time!" Old Liu grabbed Helen’s Bone Horn, shouting into the trumpet opening: "Send me over five tons of elixir... And send me some mages and divine archer experts..."
"Enrida and Ruona will be here soon." Mo’er closed the call and slapped Old Liu’s shoulder brazenly: "Also coming is the two Abyssal Realm magical beasts your daughter-in-law recently subdued."
"Frank! Frank!" Liu Zhenhuan nodded; spending the Malong Crystal would finally bring some benefits.
Ever since Figo and Avril returned home, he had summoned the Golden Dragon Knight from Sabak to command the air force; although the Forbidden Curse shock wave in the Southern Cross Star Forest had caused considerable internal injury, after these many days of healing, with the Holy Knight’s innate divine protection and self-healing ability, Lampard was still fit for the battlefield.
"Here!" Lampard parted the crowd with the humanoid Hasselbaink.
"Burn down those two dwarf siege vehicles for me! If these two mechanical war chariots break through the city gates with steam sledgehammers, Witherspoon is truly finished."
"The enemy’s formation is well-maintained, the tactical advance is very steady, it’s not yet time to strike." Lampard shielded his brow, looked at the Hai Mu Corps’ formation, and said to the boss from the side: "But once these two mechanical war vehicles reach the city, I absolutely won’t let them have any chance to break through the gates!"
