”How are those things so strong!?” Chang Yi was astounded, staring at the dead Summoned Beasts.
In the past, the Warrior-level Beijiang Desolate Beasts had not stood a chance against their Summoner Troop. Didn't that mean each of the Yoked was stronger than a Warrior-level creature?
If that was the case, how could they possibly defend the Northguard Fortress?
”They are coming!” the aide-de-camp said with a grim look. He was clueless about how they should continue the battle. They had no clue what their enemy was capable of, apart from their formidable strength.
”Fire Squads, the Fire Pool!” Commander Bin Wei said.
The order quickly spread among the soldiers. The Fire Mages of the Northguard Fortress quickly went forward and drew Star Patterns.
One Fiery Fist after another poured down from the walls of the fortress like small meteorites, slamming heavily onto the yellow land.
The Fiery Fists concentrated on a specific area where the density of the Yoked was higher. The flames blasted and burned the Yoked that were leading the way. The pits that the Fiery Fists produced soon combined into a huge scorching pool of flames!
The flames intertwined and burned vigorously within the huge pool. The Yoked were stuck in the pool. Their chains were blazing red from the heat. Their skin was like wilted trees, and began to crack open.
However, the Yoked continued forward like they did not feel any pain from the flames that were burning over them!
Many of the Yoked were engulfed in flames, but they did not seem to be bothered at all. Their eyes retained a terrifying glow, staring at the Northguard Fortress.
The flames actually made the Yoked look more ghastly, like demons crawling out of the furnace of Hell. The watchers trembled in fear upon witnessing the sight. They had been through countless battles, yet they never felt so helpless facing an enemy!
”It doesn't work at all. Why aren't the flames working?”
”What kind of monsters are they...”
The Yoked resumed their marching. The pressure on the soldiers intensified as the demon frog with the demeanor of a greedy tyrant approached. The soldiers began to shuffle uneasily.
”Fire at will!” Commander Bin Wei ordered.
Almost every Mage cast their spells, mostly Elemental Magic. There were rolling rocks and sand along the ground, burning fists flying across the sky, tornadoes, lightning, and fierce tides and icy chains that appeared out of nowhere lunged at the creatures murderously...
The clanking of the chains kept coming. The creatures were still moving forward, like they did not know what pain was. Even when their legs were broken, they would continue to crawl forward with their hands, like a bunch of fanatical death-sworn soldiers!
The Mages were clueless about what to do against these creatures. The Beijiang Desolate Beasts would end up as pieces of meat and pools of blood scattered across the ground, or flee for their lives. Meanwhile, these underworld creatures were still pushing forward. They would soon reach the fortress!
”It's no use, we even tried using Advanced Spells against them, but we still couldn't take them out!” Chang Yi began to panic.
”Two thousand creatures that are stronger than Warrior-level creatures, and a Ruler-level demon frog. I don't think we stand a chance against them unless we have several Super Mages with us!” the aide-de-camp exclaimed.
The Battlemages had immediately cast their spells at the enemy after receiving the order. It was supposed to deal the highest damage to the enemy. After all, the Northguard Fortress had a lot of Intermediate Mages. The endless blasts were expected to kill a lot of Warrior-level creatures.
But the number of deaths among the Yoked was extremely low. Some did fall to their deaths, yet the overall size of their army still looked the same. One could easily tell which side had the upper hand in the battle!
