Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2016 - 641: Numerical Superiority Is Outdated
The arrow storm launched from Witherspoon City wall fell from the sky like Haibo’s Milky Way, swift and unstoppable. Mulan warriors’ round shields were slightly too small; even if they raised them above their heads to form a shield array, there were always serpent-like arrows that slipped through the cracks of the shields, ravenously devouring fresh, delicious blood!
The turtle warriors fared slightly better. Their shell shields were enormous, covering their entire bodies when lifted overhead, forming a bright white barrier when connected together. Being warriors of the Sea Clan, they cleverly used the massive bodies of giant tortoises for cover, lowering themselves as much as possible to evade the deadly attacks from the city wall above.
In Dile country, the tradition of the Golden Arrow Festival produced skilled archers, formidable even in the desert, but compared to House archers, they appeared amateurish. Unlike their reliance on arrow rain for broad area damage, Beamon archers, regardless of the battle scenario, fought independently, using their personal archery skills to inflict maximum harm on the enemy—a testament to their extreme confidence in archery!
Apart from the Summer Palace Guard and a portion of top-tier archers equipped with metal composite bows provided by humans, most Beamon archers and Dile archers had similar bow ranges. Yet, Beamon had the geographical advantage of elevation and decent city defense cover, unlike the Shele Slave archers exposed on the wide-open plains, an overwhelmingly clear advantage.
Most terrifying of all, the largest military units of the Temple Knights and the Summer Palace Guard, two major religious forces, were top-tier Divine Archers. The Sea Clan allied siege troops hadn’t even touched the walls, and Shele Slave archers were already showing signs of collapse. The enforcer infantry in the Mulan army were already fighting red-eyed. If they didn’t act, it was very likely that the Dile archers would collectively turn and flee in the next moment.
"How... how is this possible?" Prince Similian’s mind became completely muddled. Witherspoon’s sudden emergence of a massive magic power shield, the magical firepower displayed by Beamon, and the mass death of the slave archers—these tangled and complex series of setbacks felt like frozen mercury being poured into his skull.
After just two rounds of exchanges, the siege troops’ Mulan warriors and turtle fighters were violently blasted out into a clear corridor by Witherspoon’s concentrated magical firepower. Without magic interception and cover from their side, these frontline warriors were like rotten meat on a chopping block, sent flying into the air unrestrained by Witherspoon’s violent elemental attacks. Before their shredded flesh and broken limbs could even hit the ground, they were further propelled skyward by massive shockwaves and destructive power.
It was as if lava from two erupting volcanoes mixed together, the dazzling magic aura causing everyone to squint. Witherspoon’s magic focused on killing, while the Sea Clan’s magic struggled against the Five Elements Defense Array.
Below the city wall lay countless craters and pits, their cavities filled with heat-emitting corpses strewn haphazardly. After being repeatedly soaked with tons of fresh blood, the dry ground finally succumbed, becoming a splattering swamp of mud. The crimson mud seized life and youth, deeply burying the honor and bravery of countless warriors.
Like Prince Similian’s almost collapsed nerves, Liu Zhenhan nearly had a neural breakdown from excess joy! His prime attack target was the giant tortoise, no choice there, as this oceanic Sub-dragon Magical Beast appeared too threatening, with both its immense size and abundant magic power. Should it rage, he must weigh the consequences!
Within three seconds, more than ten spells simultaneously hit this giant tortoise, including a gigantic rock hurled by the Blood Infant. The Blood Infant possessed a quarter of the Holy Giant Dragon’s power and half of Guoguo’s magic, yet he seemed incapable of casting any spells, wielding only his unparalleled great divine strength. The stone thrown by him, with its piercing shriek in flight and meteor-like fiery sheath, was daunting enough for anyone not to underestimate.
The struck giant tortoise suddenly sprouted a thick, shimmering water curtain all over, this Water Element armor not only absorbed all incoming spells but also effectively shielded the tortoise from locust-like arrow showers. As for the Mulan warriors standing on the turtle’s back, they suffered unfairly, falling backwards in awkward poses from the shell.
Ultimately, the big model collapsed to the ground, retracting its head and limbs into its shell, enduring strikes without retaliating.
"Immediately cease attacking the giant tortoise!" Liu Zhenhan shouted desperately, risking tearing his vocal cords. The wall was not only defended by the Summer Palace Guard; Witherspoon’s crossbow cannons, battering stones, bed crossbows, Temple Knights’ animal plant dual pets, rabbit people’s ’Three Hole Ground Rifts’ were everywhere, blooming like flowers. Everyone knew the massive turtles were the best cover for the siege troops. If they crowded to the wall and blocked the view from above the city wall, it would undoubtedly be problematic, so naturally, firepower was focused on these turtles.
"Extend firepower! Let these giant tortoises come over, I want to collect them all as magical pets!" Taking advantage of the "Fragrant Wind Hyacinth" synchronized amplification, the Shaman of Divine Songs’ words echoed repeatedly in everyone’s ears.
