CHAPTER 1983: CHAPTER 635: A BLOODY CASE TRIGGERED BY AN ARTIFACT

An inhumane massacre has begun!

The Mulan cavalry charged en masse toward Witherspoon’s moat, immediately dropping the soil-wrapped bundles in their cloaks, then turning back to repeat the mechanical actions again and again, trying to fill the wide, snow-fed moat with this primitive method.

On the unliftable drawbridge of the south gate, countless members of the Suicide Squad were endlessly rushing to attack the city gate.

They were all meticulously chosen muscular men, holding shields high above their heads, connecting into a massive shield formation. The entire formation wriggled toward the bottom of the city wall like a centipede. The tall, strong man at the head used a large wooden mallet, normally used for arm strength training, to powerfully smash the city gate—this mallet was already the heaviest weapon they could cobble together.

Deadly arrows and darts, not even needing to be aimed, could hit the densely packed heads beneath the city wall. Those Mulan soldiers carrying soil bundles to fill the moat were almost completely unprotected, facing the arrows, javelins, and stones falling from the sky, all they could do was leave it to fate.

The Suicide Squad attacking the city gate received particular attention. Although they protected their heads with shields and formed an extremely compact formation, the city’s defensive architecture with its composite turrets allowed for arrows to crazily attack the unprotected flanks of the Mulan Suicide Squad on the drawbridge from both the left and right sides.

Amidst anguished, piercing screams, rows and rows of Mulan soldiers fell into the waters of the moat like dumplings, splashing bright red waves; the Haus unique whistling arrows whistled sharply, rousing nerve-wracking brain-penetrating demonic sounds across the chaotic battlefield. The evil auras of the priests and the magical spells of the pets seemed like death summons, sprinkling a more potent poison on the bleeding wounds of the Mulanese.

The commander of the first wave of attack, the giant Lu Xiang Pa, died ten minutes into the battle beneath Witherspoon’s city.

The Damascus-bladed saber inlaid with gold and the luxurious coconut palm pattern armor completely betrayed his noble identity. At least twenty sharp arrowheads, from one thousand two hundred yards away, simultaneously pierced his heart and head, making these two critical areas resemble long-abandoned graves overgrown with lush grass.

The Mulanese bonfires, Xiang Pa’s moonlight, and the Beamon’s gas lanterns all lit the sky as bright as day.

Gallons of red blood fiercely soaked the earth, causing the stars in the sky to tremble and blink with fear.

The old gecko eagerly led the temple knights into the battle. In the absence of long-range fire suppression on the opposing side, the priests’ dual magic pets combined with their battle songs were overwhelmingly sweeping!

The temple priests’ magic plant pets were all "Cherry Blossom Rice," whose magic spells were also wide-area strikes. One cluster of rice flew out, forming a "Chain Flame Explosion," making the "crackling" fireworks quite mesmerizing.

In colloquial terms, magic plants are typically "pointed at both ends"—they absolutely crush ordinary people but aren’t worth mentioning against top experts!

But on the battlefield, bullying ordinary people is precisely what they do!

Since magic plants became priests’ magical pets, the role of magical beast pets has been entirely replaced by magic plants! The gospel brought by the Shaman of Divine Songs to the priests completely altered an era! Magical beast pets were most suitable for duels, whereas only magic plant pets were the true, battle array-specific killing tools!

While others were killing in dizzying chaos, Liu Zhenhwan was not worried at all because the enemies hidden by the Light and Shadow Illusion Technique hadn’t moved yet. If the opponent didn’t move, he absolutely wouldn’t.

Numerous kaleidoscopes imported from the Tang Zang Empire were neatly placed atop the city wall. Guoguo lit the fuses one by one with a cigar, sending bright, splendid fireworks into the sky, illuminating the bloody scene under the stars even more transparently.

"Fire!" The giant elephant strongmen lifted stone slabs the size of tea trays and, together with the porcupine warriors’ darts, hurled them downward. Even with shields protecting their heads, Mulan’s Suicide Squad, gathered on the drawbridge, would be smashed into a pulp by the heavy blows of Orephin’s strongmen.

"Release!" The human military advisors stood on the bell tower and lighthouse, calmly directing the crossbow cannon operators to fire.

The crossbow cannon is a heavy weapon invented by humans, paired with heavy crossbow arrows, each made with cast-iron fletchings as thick as a child’s arm. The crossbow cannon can fire ten arrows at once, and even the stone city walls can’t withstand its might, deeply embedding half its length upon impact.

The most effective use of this heavy weapon should be horizontal shooting. Using powerful penetration, ten heavy crossbow arrows in a fan-shaped shot can continuously pierce multiple objects on the same level plane. If an enemy infantry formation is hit by the crossbow cannon, the result would be catastrophic!

Using the rugged and dominating heavy crossbow cannon in siege defense wasn’t very remarkable because the downward firing angle was too small, preventing the giant crossbow from piercing many enemies before embedding in the ground.

According to the original plans of the human advisors, the forty crossbow cannons supporting Witherspoon were deemed too wasteful solely for infantry. This ultimate weapon should be used to destroy Hai Mu United forces’ heavy siege machinery!

But tonight, the Beamon warriors were killing too gleefully and enviably, causing these humans to be unable to resist their urge to put on a performance as well.
