Chapter 159: Gap
Fresh blood dyed the sky red
That blood had co spilled everywhere
Even though Deep Blue Flame felt that this amount of blood was still far too little, the Harpies, whose reproductive rate was quite low, felt the sting of such a loss This feeling was compounded by the sheer amount of resources they had poured into their defense
The chaotic battle was causing both sides to grow impatient As time went on, the holdout became torturous Finally, by the third day, the Thousand Poisons Toad was much weaker and also roeaker and weaker Nevertheless, it continued to slam its massive body into the sturdy walls of Sky City and unleashi+ng clouds of poison in all directions
Unfortunately, the Harpies were all used to this tactic by now, and their ability to advance or retreat had improved as well No matter what the Thousand Poisons Toad tried to do, the Harpies were prepared, so they also suffered the fewest deaths
This would definitely be the least costly battle that the Intelligent Races had ever fought against a Desolate Beast
Well, if it weren’t for us, Palht to himself
Palmer lifted up the felt hat on his head and continued to advance with the rest of the group
The Harpy captain at the front barked impatiently, “Hurry up, we don’t have much time left We need to send these ite this co a crash of Iron-Armored Rhinoceroses, hurried towards the castle walls
When the transportation party arrived at the base of Sky City’s walls, one of the Harpy officers stopped them in their tracks “Your identification, please”
The captain handed over his identification
“Profound Clarity fro Annihilation Bolts Are these all Annihilation bolts?” the inspections officer asked
“Not entirely,” the Harpy replied “So Cannons that were ordered only recently You know that some bandit destroyed the Red Rain Workshop yesterday, so their duties were transferred to us We were only able to construct these coht Do you need to inspect these?”
“Of course,” the official replied dutifully as he began to open the containers being carried by the Iron-Armored Beasts
“Be careful These boxes contain co Cannons and are explosive You can’t just open them like this”
“Explosive?”
“Yes, explosive That’s not strange, is it? It’s a military necessity”
Yes, they were e about a erous?
He nodded After inspecting the documents once more, the inspections official returned them to the Harpy captain
The h the checkpoint to the wall single-file The inspections official nearby watched theh he was far frouise, he was still dutifully carrying out his responsibilities
One of the soldiers standing nearby chuckled, “Captain, aren’t you being a bit too nervous?”
The official frowned “Don’t forget that there’s a bastard as ht”
The soldier smiled “You were the one who said that he was alone Don’t we have a group of soldiers here?”
“Who knows? We have e if they were to join forces against us,” the captain said with some apprehension
He was probably the only official worried about so like this, but unfortunately it was iht And even if it were, it was very likely that nothing would come of it There were siht couldn’t possibly try to plug all the leaks He sih manpower
The official had no idea that he had actually stumbled upon the truth of the matter
Off in the distance, Deep Blue Fla for news to coolden bird had already turned itself into a handso it an elegant appearance However, the way it sat spread-eagled was incredibly unrefined It said lazily, “Is that huent Races are never to be trusted”
“We can only knohether we’ll succeed after we try,” Deep Blue Flame replied “If this fails, all that will happen is that ill lose Palolden bird said worriedly when it heard Palmer’s name “Out of all your children, he’s the only one that I can beat up soundly and comfortably”
Deep Blue Flaolden bird’s offensive words “Shut your mouth, Golden Blaze Don’t think that just because you’re his son that I’ll let you get off so easily!”
“Hey, I’ You don’t need to be so offended by it,” Golden Blaze said as he flapped his wings “I aoing to start again?”
“Soon…… The agreed-upon time is almost here,” Deep Blue Flah the city gates, then through the other wall before finally arriving at the southern Sky City
A few Harpies were stationed there to accept the goods
It was already possible to see the ure of the Thousand Poisons Toad off in the distance However, the Thousand Poisons Toad was obviously having a hard ti close to the city due to the swarms of locusts in its way As such, it could only spit out dense clouds of poison fro sizzled whenever it came into contact with the city’s barriers If it weren’t for the endless supply of Origin Energy, the poisonous fog probably would have already killed thousands if not tens of thousands of Harpies
This Desolate Beast, which should have been able to wreak incredible ah to breach the sturdy defenses of Sky City,it impossible for the beast to actually deth This infuriated it to no end and caused it to hoith rage
“Are you growing agitated? Don’t worry, the ,” Palmer muttered to himself
“Hey, you, don’t just stand there Get out of here” One of the Harpies walked over to push Palmer out of the way
However, this shove was co the soldier Pal into the ground Energy poured into his bare hands, allowing him to suddenly tear that Harpy in half
The other Harpy soldiers were badly startled when they saw this and all charged to face the new threat
