Chapter 819: The Battle Begins (I) (1/2)

Their method of pairing up was warmly received by the mages as well. It also allowed the mages to quickly become a part of the big family that the Southeastern Fort was, merging with the warrior harmoniously.

On the battlefield, the mages were the sharpest spear, while the warriors beside them were the toughest shields.

As a result, as the spears of lightning rained down from the Birdy Demons, the shield warriors immediately made the defences above the walls as tough as a tortoise’s shell.

Hiding behind them, the mages could not even see the spears of lightning, covered up by the shields. The long spears directly bounced off the shields and fell back down the walls.

There was a special characteristic about the spears of lightning from the Birdy Demons. Towards the back, there were four small fletches, which would ensure the spears to fly straight and not horizontally. However, these fletches had now become a nightmare for the Berserk Demons.

The spears of lightning that bounced off the shields obviously could not identify friend from foe. Having just destroyed the three waves of magical beasts and suffered heavy losses, the Berserk Demons were now met with several thousand spears of lighting that rained down from the sky.

They really did come just too suddenly.

At the same time, the demons had gone berserk. The ones who discovered the falling spears of lightning were able to react in time, but those who failed to discover the spears or were careless became the unlucky ones.

Basically two thirds of the five thousand spears of lightning had been reflected below the walls. At least a thousand Berserk Demons died or were incapcitated by the spears of lightning. Miserable was no longer an appropriate word to describe this.

However, the Berserk Demons were still Berserk Demons after all. After suffering heavy blows after heavy blows and losing over four thousand of their clansmen, they continued to charge towards the walls of the Southeastern Fort. They arrived at the walls and immediately used the spikes on their arms to stab into the walls, so they could quickly climb up.

Although the walls of the Southeastern Fort were rather tough, the Berserk Demons could scale it as long as they could gain the slightest footing using the spikes. Now, the walls that stood a hundred meters tall were covered in Berserk Demons, while the Demonic Eye Soldiers behind had finally arrived as well.

There were over thirteen thousand Demonic Eye Soldiers, with plenty of powerhouses among them. Although they were not as fast as the Berserk Demons, they were not slow either. After all, they had three legs! However, the Demonic Eye Soldiers were not as mindless as the Berserk Demons. They were very clever. The reason why they did not charge into battle immediately was to let the Berserk Demons attack. Wouldn’t they be safer once the humans on the walls were busy with the Berserk Demons. They had calculated the situation extremely well, which was why they only reached the walls just now.

The leading Demonic Eye Soldier had a total of twelve eyes. It produced a sharp screech. Immediately, all of the Demonic Eye Soldiers fell into formation and all of their eyes became fixed on the walls.

Their demonic eyes could only launch straight beams. It was not particularly effective as they had to attack from below, but the leader of the Demonic Eye Soldiers was very clever. His objective was very simple, which was to directly attack the walls.

Even if the walls of the Southeastern Fort were a hundred meters thick, they would not be able to withstand several rounds of attacks from thirteen thousand Demonic Eye Soldiers. Once the walls were breached, what was the Southeastern Fort supposed to use to stop the army of half a million?

Their method of attack was sly. And, as soon as he had arrived, ten eyes on the leading Demonic Eye Soldier’s head unleashed attacks, leaving behind a charred patch a meter deep in the walls. Without a doubt, he was indicating to the other Demonic Eye Soldiers where to attack.

If the Demonic Eye Soldiers really did succeed in launching several waves of attack, it would definitely be quite a blow to the Southeastern Fort. The Berserk Demons had already begun climbing the walls now, while the Birdy Demons in the air responded cleverly as well, quickly dispersing from formation and looking for any opportunities to attack. How was the Southeastern Fort supposed to stop these Demonic Eye Soldiers now?

Of course they had a wave, because the Southeastern Fort was no longer the battlefield of the Warrior Temple, but the battlefield of the Temple Union!

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the walls and before the Demonic Eye Soldiers could understand what was going on, flocks of them collapsed like felled wheat.

Figures actually emerged from the ground one after another, slaughtering the Demonic Eye Soldiers at a close range.

Assassins. They were assassins.

There were over ten thousand assassins hidden below the walls. They had always been waiting patiently. They let the Berserk Demon pass them, as their target were the Demonic Eye Demons who used magic attacks!
