Vol 10 Chapter?40 (2/2)
Everyone fought wildly, their eyes red with bloodlust
“Bang!” “Bang!” …
The e escalades now, because the people atop the siege escalades were very tightly clustered The density was ten tiround below! Countless soldiers wanted to use the siege escalades to charge onto the enemy’s walls
Indeed, the soldiers e escalades into the city walls It was only a distance of a hundred e escalade to the city walls! Given the power of these soldiers, it wouldn’t even take them ten seconds to close that sort of distance They all possessed the hope that during those ten seconds while they were exposed and in the open, the icite cannons definitely wouldn’t be able to strike them
However!
The e escalades, each blast clai the lives of hundreds of soldiers Unfortunately, the speed at which the icite cannons killed people was far slower than the speed at which the soldiers of two sides killed each other in close quarters coan to die in large numbers as well now
“In close co to be close to one-to-one” Barker looked at Linley “Lord Linley, if this continues, on’t be able to hold on”
Indeed The eneh they had lost soure, and those losses meant little The prefectural city of Cod only had 500,000 soldiers If they were to fight a war of attrition at a one-to-one rate…a loss of three or four hundred thousand to the ene nearly a million soldiers, but to Cod, they would only have less than a hundred thousand re
This couldn’t be permitted to continue!
Of course, this was just the death ratio for the soldiers in close quarters coicite cannons, as well as those ere being shot to death by arrows, the prefectural city of Cod still held a e
“Gates, go destroy that corridor for e of one of the siege escalades
Once that hundred-e was destroyed, then…there would be a distance of nearly ten e escalades to the city walls Only warriors of a certain rank would be able to leap that distance, and in addition, as they leapt, the city garrison would be able to use their spears to welcome them as they landed…
“Yes, Lord” Gates acknowledged in his loud voice
Boone, Ankh, and Hazer didn’t hesitate at all as they headed out as well But Barker, since he was now a Saint, couldn’t get involved
Gates’ body was blazing with battle-qi, and in his hands, he ielding that 5300 pound greataxe With a hting was going on The bridge was filled with people, as e onto the enemy walls
“Bang!” A terrifying axe-shaped blast of battle-qi energy chopped out, splitting several dozen warriors apart at the waist instantly Body parts flew everywhere, spraying the surrounding area with blood Instantly, a large gap appeared on the corridor-bridge
“Bam!”
Like a dereataxe as he landed in that ee nuap, all of the Gates wildly
“Hrhty blow to the bridge beneath him
The greataxe fell down, as gently as a falling leaf, striking against the steel bridge Only a gentle clink was heard, but then…a e amount of steel dust was suddenly picked up and carried away by the wind
Wielding soht!
“Bang!” Gates’ battle-qi blasted out in all directions like countless arrows, killing all of the surrounding and attacking soldiers
“It really is thick” Gates e was so Warrior of the ninth rank was unable to chop through at a bloever, the blow froh it, with only a
“No!” Many people fro this, stared ide eyes
“Break apart!” Gates brought his greataxe gently down a second time
“Bang!” That thick steel bridge split into two parts, and the part that was lying against the wall fell down A large number of soldiers fell down as well The effectiveness of the siege escalade had instantly been halved
If they wanted to cross to the walls, the only choice was to jump over
But the eneuards had their weapons pointed towards them, with spear tips and sword tips all aimed in their direction You want to jump? Then jump! You’ll knohat happens if you do…
“Bang!” “Bang!” One steel bridge after another was broken through as Gates, Boone, Ankh, and Hazer, these four terrifying Undying Warriors of the peak of the ninth rank, e escalades
The forces of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadoho had seen victory within reach, all began to feel bitterness and despair
“We alry growl
If the earlier situation had persisted, even though the eneicite cannons and arrows, Weiss Porter was confident…that after sustaining casualties of approxiht hundred thousand, they would have destroyed the enemies
“Weiss Porter, nohat?” Guillermo looked at him
Weiss Porter looked at hi” Guillermo and Weiss Porter both tacitly understood
“Although the steel bridges were destroyed, the siege escalades still have some effect” Weiss Porter stared froe escalades, and then, relying on being on the higher ground, shot arrows or slung rocks at the enemies on the walls
A large number of soldiers even jumped down onto the city walls
Perhaps the initial casualty rate would be horrendous, but once a sht on fairly even footing
“They’ve gone mad” Gates had experienced countless battles, but even he felt a sense of pressure
Simply too many had died
Time passed, one minute and one second at a time
Three in the …
Four in the …
As tied on, the casualties for the defenders reached nearly two hundred thousand as well For their casualties to be at such a terrifyingly high nuine how many had died on the side of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows
When five in thecame, Guillermo and Weiss Porter looked at each other
“Weiss Porter, as you said It is time to use our trump card” Guillermo spoke
