#376 - Chapter 375: Outer City Falls
Boom!
With a loud crash, the difference in power became apparent the moment a Divine-level expert made a move.
The Vulcan Cannons, feared by countless elite cavalry, even with their powerful surrounding defense arrays, couldn't withstand the might of a Divine-level expert.
The magic arrays shattered instantly, and the two Vulcan Cannons were reduced to dust.
"Oh my heavens! These two humans are so strong!"
The dwarves responsible for operating the two Vulcan Cannons were shocked and quickly retreated from the outer city.
They were not only the users of the Vulcan Cannons but also involved in their creation, fully aware of the strength of the defense arrays.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so confident in opening fire.
They never expected that these two humans in black robes would shatter all their preparations with a single move.
"Divine-level, and not ordinary Divine-level at that!"
On the inner city wall, Thor watched the two figures in black robes, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"Still thinking of going out to fight?"
An elder of the Elven race asked with a smile, "If you still have such courage, we can open the defense barrier."
"Heh, you think I don't dare?"
"The motto of us dwarves is: fight if we can win, fight even if we can't."
"Open the barrier for me!"
Thor sneered, leaping down from the Vulcan Cannon's control position, and with a flip of his hand, a massive hammer appeared.
"..., No, no, no! We were just joking."
"Activating this defense barrier is troublesome, setting it up takes a lot of time, it's better not to go out."
The Elven elders were stunned and quickly tried to stop him.
They hadn't expected the dwarves to be so stubborn, still daring to face the two Divine-level experts outside, despite knowing their strength was extraordinary.
And judging by his appearance, he wasn't afraid at all.
It could only be said that being this thick-headed was admirable.
Worthy of being a race that dared to confront even dragons head-on.
They might not be strong, but they were certainly tough!
"Hmph, then why are you talking nonsense?"
Thor snorted, "I thought there would be a hearty battle."
"There's still a chance, there's still a chance." The Elves didn't dare to respond, Thor was really too stubborn, saying too much could easily lead to trouble.
They gave awkward smiles and responded softly.
"It's those damned humans, the Vulcan Cannons we painstakingly built were destroyed just like that."
Thor said fiercely, "Don't let me catch them, or I'll hammer them to death!"
"The people brought by Karami are indeed very strong." The Elven elders also looked serious.
Because as they spoke, the two Divine-level experts continued to attack, destroying Vulcan Cannons wherever they went.
"Kill! Charge into the city, and enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Under the protection of such powerful experts, the vanguard regrouped and launched another attack.
Moreover, after the initial probing, the number of troops now charging was even greater than before.
In the blink of an eye, dust billowed as they reached the outer city.
"How dare they! They actually charged over like this? They're clearly looking down on us!"
"They're looking down on us!"
Thor was furious, pulled out a communicator, and shouted, "Don't hold back, use all your means!"
"Got it!"
"Watch me!"
"Haa!"
Receiving the order, the other dwarves began to move.
Boom!
A mechanism hidden in the outer city was activated at the same time.
A giant steel ball appeared out of nowhere, surging with magical power, and then rolled forward with unstoppable force.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Layers of defensive magic were erected, and Karami's vanguard responded immediately, their reaction was quick, and their methods were top-notch.
But they still couldn't stop the magic ball, and dozens of people were instantly crushed into pancakes.
"Child's play, not worth mentioning."
At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out.
The two Divine-level experts attacked again, with a simple wave, a tyrannical force roared like an angry dragon, slamming into the giant magic ball.
There was an earth-shattering collision.
The aura of magic surged, intertwined, and then exploded.
Under such tyrannical force, the giant ball disappeared.
However...
Disappearing along with it were the nearby vanguard troops.
This attack caused even more damage than the ball, it was extremely cruel.
But the two obviously didn't care, to them, it was no different from swatting a few mosquitoes.
Moreover, purely from the facts, this approach, although cruel, was extremely rational, because allowing the ball to roll would inevitably cause greater damage.
It was this iron-blooded method that solved this hidden danger in the shortest amount of time.
But the dwarves' methods were obviously not limited to this.
In addition to the iron ball, other objects appeared as well.
Either a long stick, or a dart shot from the shadows...
There were all sorts of things, almost bizarre.
But the lethality was extremely terrifying.
The dwarves' ingenious forging skills played a huge role at this moment, causing heavy losses to the attacking vanguard.
"They're really troublesome."
Watching the elite troops die in pieces, Karami's face darkened slightly.
Even with two Divine-level experts constantly destroying these devices, manpower was ultimately limited, and in such a large battlefield, it was impossible to take care of everything.
Moreover, the dwarves' props were too strange, this race's ideas were wild and unfettered, you never knew whether a big hammer would fall from the sky or a long stick would poke out of the ground.
Impossible to defend against!
Although these mechanisms alone were difficult to pose a life threat to top experts, for others, a moment of carelessness could cost them their lives.
Blood flowed like a river, and thousands of people died in a short period of time.
This kind of loss was something no one had expected before launching the attack.
And this was only just reaching the foot of the outer city.
"This Fengye City is beyond my expectations."
"It makes me even more... eager..."
However, while sighing, a hint of fire flashed in Karami's eyes.
Although he had now occupied the imperial capital, it didn't mean he could really sit back and relax.
You know, the strongest people in the empire are still in the Tower of Reincarnation.
And when they return, they will inevitably set off a great war.
And if the dwarves' power can be used by him, then the future can really be expected.
At least when dealing with the next war, it won't be so passive.
"Everyone, please take action."
"Don't worry about anything else, Fengye City must be taken down in the shortest amount of time."
Karami thought for a moment and spoke.
The Divine-level experts beside him didn't say a word, they just disappeared from the spot in an instant and joined the battlefield.
"Army! Charge!"
At the same time, Karami drew his sword, his voice high-pitched.
He didn't believe that with so many Divine-level experts in the lead, the dwarves' methods alone could stop them with a full-force charge.
Rumble rumble!
With Karami's order, tens of thousands of troops moved together, the cavalry regiment launched a charge with great momentum.
The magic corps in the rear began to chant, launching magic to attack the outer city.
For a time, the fearsome cavalry regiment charged together with dazzling magic.
Even the dwarves were helpless against such an offensive.
The difference in numbers between the two sides was still too great, even with so many ingenious mechanisms, it couldn't bridge the gap.
Not to mention, there were as many as eight Divine-level experts charging in the front, casually waving their hands, and a mechanism would turn into dust.
The number of Divine-level experts had increased sharply, making them more comfortable in dealing with the dwarves' mechanisms, after all, the area they had to cover had become smaller.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
"Retreat to the inner city, the outer city definitely can't be defended."
Debris was everywhere, any mechanism, whether overt or covert, would be destroyed like a toy in front of the eight Divine-level experts within ten seconds of being discovered.
The fierce offensive directly broke the outer city's defense line.
The dwarves felt sorry for the expensive mechanisms, but they had to give up.
Karami's army charged at an alarming speed.
"Spare no effort, charge!"
Seeing the army's momentum was hot, Karami was even more determined, directly ignoring the casualties, even if it meant filling the gap with lives, they had to break into Fengye City.
And this was indeed the most effective method.
"Kill! Crush them!"
Layers of amplification spells lit up one after another, and the strengthened cavalrymen became bloodthirsty.
Although people were dying almost every second beside them, and the dwarves' methods appeared almost every second.
But this still couldn't shake their will to charge into battle.
Blood stained the battlefield red, and after paying the price of nearly ten thousand people, the entire outer city was completely trampled under the iron hooves, and the dwarves' methods were also destroyed.
"I'll see what other methods you have."
Karami's eyes were cold and full of violence.
Although he said to spare no effort, this kind of casualty still made him instinctively unhappy.
These lowly people of Fengye City, knowing that this was a battle they were bound to lose, why did they still resist?
They should have knelt down obediently and welcomed their king!
Especially Sophia, she was acting high and mighty now.
When Fengye City was completely broken, she must pay the price she deserved.
The eight Divine-level experts walked together, slowly descending from the air, and tens of thousands of troops roared like ancient beasts as they charged.
The overwhelming sense of oppression made even someone as nonchalant as Thor feel oppressed.
And what was even more fatal was that in the distance, there were black spots moving at high speed, rushing towards Fengye City.
Those were the people of the Cult.
Obviously, after such a long time, these cultists, who adhered to the will of some evil gods, finally arrived.
This meant that top experts had joined the battle.
After all, the existence of some cults was not a secret, but they had been able to stand tall on the continent for so many years.
The reason was that their strength was formidable, even if the top forces wanted to eradicate them, they would have to pay a huge price.
In other words...
Divine-level!
There must be Divine-level experts in the cult, and more than one.
Counting the eight Divine-level experts on Karami's side, the number of Divine-level experts directly participating in the siege of Fengye City would be as high as double digits!
"Fengye City, this time is really in danger."
"Indeed, this kind of power gap is despairing to watch, the power that Prince Karami has mastered, even if the experts of the imperial capital are still there, I'm afraid they can wrestle with him? No wonder he dared to launch a rebellion, it was premeditated."
"That's right, when Fengye City is breached, if the elves and dwarves fall into his hands, then the overall situation will probably be set, even if the experts of the imperial capital return, I'm afraid they won't be able to change anything."
"Too terrifying."
In the distance, many people were watching the battle, and at this moment they were all sighing.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of troops besieging the city, there were also eight Divine-level experts hovering in the air, this scale of war could probably only be seen in a city during a full-scale invasion by the Strange.
And now, Fengye City had to face this crisis alone.
They couldn't figure out what method could be used to protect Fengye City.
Could it be that a god would descend?
"The situation is really worse than expected."
Similarly, at this moment, looking at the doomsday-like scene, Alexia stroked his beard with a heavy expression.
Although he had anticipated the battle, he still felt incredibly tricky when he saw eight Divine-level experts walking in the air.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of people, just these eight people alone could give many forces on the continent a headache.
If you add the endless stream of cultists coming, and the other legions under Karami's command.
This force could even give a powerful empire a headache.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Faced with this kind of battle formation, Alexia dared not be careless, he waved his hand, and an emerald green barrier lit up outside Fengye City.
The towering light rendered half of the sky emerald green. Runes rose and lingered, exuding a peaceful atmosphere.
"Magic Barrier?"
Karami frowned when he saw this.
He could feel that this magic barrier was unusual, the magic power was so thick that he could feel it even from a distance.
And...
More than one layer.
"Hehe, it's just a bigger turtle shell, do you really think it can change anything?"
However, Karami quickly smiled.
Because although this kind of magic barrier was extremely strong, especially the kind that could cover a city, it was even more difficult to break through.
But it had a fatal flaw.
That was, once it was opened, it would completely isolate the inside and outside.
As long as the barrier was not broken, no matter what power, it could not be transmitted.
The outside could not attack in, and the inside could not attack out.
In other words, when attacking the barrier, Fengye City could not counterattack.
At best, it was just delaying time.
But what's the point of all this?
