Chapter 306 - Siege (1/2)

Chapter 306 Siege

The alliance army was quietly preparing for the siege, and the demons were also preparing to defend.

There was no need to say anything fierce. In fact, with the high city wall separating them, both sides could not shout because they could not hear clearly. Everyone knew what the other party’s purpose was, so they just started directly.

With the formation of hundreds of thousands of siege troops, if you looked down from the city wall, they were simply endless. The army was outside the range of the demon’s long-range attacks and occupied all the open space near Ur-Hekal, surrounding the entire city. They had set up hundreds and thousands of catapults and ballistas and began loading boulders and bolts nervously.

All the preparations took several hours. During this time, the alliance army was also guarding against the demons leaving the city to attack. But the demons did not leave the city and instead chose to continue defending, which made the alliance army heave a sigh of relief.

Finally, when everything was ready, the heroes commanding the army looked at each other and nodded. They raised their hands and shouted, “Attack!!!”.

The soldiers guarding beside the catapults swung their swords and cut the ropes. The straight arms of the catapults immediately bounced back. Then with powerful kinetic energy, they shot out boulders in a parabola!

In an instant, the sky above Ur-Hekal became dark. Countless boulders flew in the air and blocked all the light in the sky. This scene of blotting out the sky only lasted for a few seconds before countless boulders smashed onto… the barrier!

Yes, as the capital of Eeofol, in addition to the high city wall, Ur-Hekal also had a powerful defensive barrier set up. This barrier was usually not open, and the demons only activated it when there was a large-scale battle.

When the boulders hit the barrier, it immediately appeared. The colorless and transparent force field emitted a ripple-like light as it blocked the flying boulders and shattered them before they fell outside the city wall.

Xeron was standing on the city wall. He finally felt relieved after seeing the power of the barrier.

In Eeofol, many trees and forests had been burnt down because of the eruption of volcanoes, causing the alliance army to be unable to build more catapults nearby. The alliance army had brought these hundreds of catapults after spending a lot of effort, but this small number of catapults did not bring much pressure to Ur-Hekal’s barrier.

As long as there was enough supply of magic power, there would be no problem for the barrier to last for two to three days.

After realizing this, Xeron did not have the mood to waste time with the alliance army here. He pulled over a high-rank demon hero and said, “I’ll leave this place to you. You will command the battle and try to defend as much as possible. This alliance army has no supplies, and it won’t be long before it withdraws.”

The high-rank demon nodded, understanding what Xeron meant.

After warning him, Xeron left the city wall and returned to his hall. He had a more important matter. Isabel was about to give birth in only two to three days!

For all the demons of Ur-Hekal, their top priority now was to complete the plan of Sovereign Kha-Beleth, and everything had to be safe.

After Xeron left, the high-rank demon hero commanding the battle smiled sinisterly and commanded the demons in the city to fight back.

In order to deal with the siege, the demons had set up catapults everywhere in the city because only the attack range of catapults could reach the alliance army outside the city. But the demons’ catapults were throwing enormous burning fireballs! They were volcanic rocks taken out from the inside of volcanoes!
