Chapter 307 Behemoths
As dawn broke the next day, the alliance army once again launched a new siege.
Since they had safely defended the first day, the heroes in the city were not too concerned and ordered the army to begin preserving.
However, when they reached the city wall, they saw that dozens of terrifying giant beasts had appeared in the alliance army camp!
These giant beasts were like gorillas squatting in front of the alliance army, but they were far taller than ordinary gorillas. Every one of them was about fourteen to fifteen meters tall, almost equal to the highest points of the city wall of Ur-Hekal!
“Damn it. They’re actually behemoths!” The demon heroes could not help but narrow their eyes when they saw this scene.
These behemoths were covered in thick white fur and looked extremely wild. Their faces looked like gorillas, but they had long fangs sticking out of their mouths. Their lower limbs were short, but their arms were long, so they were hunching over. Their arms were not only long but also very thick. The muscles on their arms bulged, making people have no doubt about their terrifying strength.
But the most terrifying thing was the sharp claws on their palms!
The claws of the behemoths could be considered to have exceeded everyone’s understanding of claws because they did not have fingers. Their claws were their fingers, and each finger was nearly two meters long! Moreover, every finger was emitting a dark luster, seemingly made of metal, and had unimaginable hardness!
The entire world of Ashan recognized behemoths as true dragon killers! Their thick fur could resist magical and physical attacks, and their claws could easily tear apart the scales and bodies of dragons. Behemoths had immense strength!
Although these behemoths were squatting in front of the formation, dozens of incomparably thick chains tied up each of them. Hundreds of orc soldiers were responsible for pulling these chains, almost by force, to make them quiet. But even so, these behemoths were struggling restlessly.
“What do they want to do?” The demon heroes were puzzled. Although they were clear that these terrifying ferocious beasts were tough to deal with war machines, wasn’t it a little silly for the alliance army to send them out before breaking the barrier?
But before the demon heroes could understand, the alliance army’s attack began. Densely packed boulders and ballista bolts attacked, smashing ripples on the barrier.
So the demon heroes did not think too much about it and directed the demon army to counterattack.
However, they did not realize that the hero Zehir had already mixed into the mages of Bracada. He was holding a crystal ball in his left hand and a strange staff in his right.
This crystal ball was not transparent but full of white inside. Clouds and mist filled the crystal ball, and lightning flashed from time to time.
The orb was the Orb of the Firmament, an extraordinary artifact. Holding it could amplify air magic to an extremely formidable degree. The staff was the Staff of Sar-Issus, an extraordinary artifact. It did not amplify the power of any magic, but it had a unique effect -giving the effect of spell penetration to the caster! During the siege yesterday, although the alliance army did not break the barrier, it had roughly figured out its magic power flow. And it had already roughly sensed the location of the magic power core in the center of the city.
To put it bluntly, barriers were still a type of magic. Zehir’s idea was simple. Since the power of all kinds of attacks was not enough to break the barrier, then he would pass through it and directly attack the core. As long as he destroyed the core, the barrier would naturally collapse.
However, if he wanted to use magic to attack the center of the city, he had to be close to the city wall. So he could only conceal his identity as a hero, hide among the mages, and do his utmost to get as close as possible.
The approach of the mages inevitably welcomed the magic attacks of the demon heroes, but Zehir was already prepared. With his defense, he forcibly resisted the Meteor Shower and then quickly ran forward under the cover of the flames and smoke.
