C400 Brilliant Light Formation
C400 Brilliant Light Formation
In fact, this was also the case. The first round of concentrated archery had caused the Barbarian Clan to form a formation. Countless warriors of the Barbarian Clan were killed or injured during the first round of attack.
Especially the arrowheads that had been tampered with by the weapons craftsmen. The warriors of the Barbarian Clan who had been shot and disabled by the arrows would die without a doubt.
The arrowheads that had been added to their health points shot into the bodies of the warriors of the Barbarian Clan. Although the Barbarian Clan warrior pulled it out in time, the wound left by the triangular blood groove. However, the wound could not be closed. Fresh blood flowed out. Soon, this Barbarian Clan warrior... Due to the excessive bleeding, his face turned pale. Finally, he fell to the ground softly.
However, there were some clever Barbarian Clan warriors. When they realized that their wounds could not heal, they simply tore off a piece of animal skin cloth from their bodies and lit it with flint stones before fiercely pressing it on their wounds.
The flames burned the wounds and emitted the burnt smell of roasted meat. When the fabric was burnt, the wounds no longer bled.
However, there was no way to save their lives after being hit by the poisoned Feather Arrow. After the poison and blood mixed together, it turned into a strong corrosive substance, corroding the wounded warriors of the Barbarian Clan until only a pile of black bones were left.
The death of a large number of warriors did not cause the commander of the Barbarian Clan to feel any heartache. This time, he brought a hundred thousand Barbarians, and it was more than enough for him to eat the Phoenix Perch City, which only had twenty thousand guards.
It was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed.
Not only the south of the city, but also the east, west, and north city walls also had the light of activating the vitality stones. Of course, accompanied by the light, there were also the sounds of arrows being shot.
On the eastern side of the city wall, Boulder held a longbow and drew the Feather Arrow for the second time.
"Put the arrow on, light up!"
The human experts once again threw the activated primal stones into the distance. When the light shone, Boulder could clearly see that the Barbarian Clan's infantry had already advanced a hundred meters.
Boulder cursed in his heart, "So fast!"
He firmly locked onto the Barbarian that was at the forefront of the charge. With his right finger, he pulled the bowstring so hard that it seemed like it would break at any moment.
"Arrow!"
After the order was given, the archers released the bowstrings in their hands one after another. For a moment, the sound of the bowstrings being tightened could be heard without end.
The second volley of arrows fell, causing another large number of Barbarian Clan warriors to fall. However, there was not a trace of excitement on Rock's face.
The mantis beside him sighed, "Using vitality stones to burst out light can indeed solve the problem of archers not being able to see the enemy clearly. But when the Barbarian Clan Expert arrives, we, Earth Martial Stage and Heavenly Martial Stage warriors... We will definitely fly out of the city and meet the enemy. At that time, who will guide the archers? "
Fat Rat chuckled, "Rock, don't play with the long bow either. A Heavenly Martial Stage warrior from the Barbarian Clan is our target!"
Rock frowned. The praying mantis was right. When they went out to meet the enemy, who would lead the archers?
If the archers lost their effectiveness, then half of the defenders would be defeated.
Just as Boulder was worried, the messenger quickly ran over.
"Report! The commander gave the order that the Brilliant Formation would be activated in an hour. Everyone, please defend the city walls to the death, not giving the Barbarian Clan any chance to take advantage of it!"
"Brilliant Formation? " Boulder was pleasantly surprised. "I've heard that this formation can turn ten li of night into day once it's activated. That's great! Go back and report to the commander that even if we leave our lives here, we will never let the Barbarian Clan step on the city wall!"
The messenger left, and Rock, who was full of confidence, ordered loudly, "Push the siege crossbow up and use the Crossbow!"
Mantis did not understand." Rock, this siege crossbow is for Elephant Soldier of the Barbarian Clan. Elephant Soldier advanced slowly and will not appear for a while. Why did you order the siege crossbow to be loaded? "
Mantis did not understand, but Fat Rat understood. He smiled and said, "Who said that the siege crossbow can only be used against Elephant Soldier? Rock is preparing to give the experts of Barbarian Clan a surprise!"
Boulder's expression was serious, and killing intent appeared in his eyes!
The first wave of attack from the Barbarian Clan arrived in front of the city wall. The archers on the city wall had shot six rounds in total. Compared to the ten rounds that were scheduled, it was almost double the number.
However, there was nothing they could do. Firstly, their field of vision was blocked, and the warriors of the Barbarian Clan were not to be trifled with.
"It's the Ascending Cloud Ladder!"
An exclamation sounded from the top of the city wall. Boulder and the other two immediately looked down.
The Barbarian Clan's army was getting closer. The warriors on the city wall did not need to activate the vitality stones to see clearly. They saw more than twenty warriors of the Barbarian Clan carrying a sixty meter long Ascending Cloud Ladder on their shoulders. They were about to rush to the bottom of the city wall.
"Archers, get rid of them for me!"
Without waiting for Rock's order, the archers on the city wall locked onto the warriors of the Barbarian Clan who were carrying the Ascending Cloud Ladder on their shoulders.
One had to know that if the Barbarian Clan warriors climbed up the city wall, the battle would immediately turn into a white blade battle. The consequences would be exactly the same as five days ago!
"Shoot the arrows! We can't let them lift the Ascending Cloud Ladder!"
The seventh volley of arrows fell. Their target was the Barbarian Clan warriors who were carrying the Ascending Cloud Ladder on their shoulders. Thousands of sharp arrows enveloped them.
Just as the archers on the city wall thought they had succeeded, they suddenly realized that the Barbarian Clan warriors who were running beside the Ascending Cloud Ladder suddenly took off a bone shield from their backs and placed it on the heads of the Barbarian Clan warriors who were carrying the Ascending Cloud Ladder on their shoulders.
The clanking sounds continued. They had no idea what kind of Ferocious Beast the bone shield was made from. The sharp arrows that carried armor-piercing Talisman actually failed to pierce through it.
Of course, no matter how big the shield was, it could not protect the two of them. A few Feather Arrows passed through the gaps between the shields, either hitting the Barbarian Clan warrior who was holding the shield or the Barbarian Clan warrior who was carrying the stairs.
When the warriors of Barbarian Clan carrying the stairs fell, the whole group did not slow down even a bit. The warriors of Barbarian Clan who were holding the shields at the side threw the shields aside to take over the task of carrying the stairs.
"Damn it!"
The praying mantis summoned its double blades and prepared to jump down from the city wall to kill the Barbarian Clan warrior carrying the Ascending Cloud Ladder. However, it was stopped by Rock.
"Don't go down yet. There might be a fake Barbarian Clan Expert mixed among these ordinary Barbarian Clan warriors. If you jump down like this, won't you be entering the tiger's mouth?"
"But we can't let them lift the Ascending Cloud Ladder up!"
"Of course not!" Boulder took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks, and shouted loudly, "Prepare the oil barrel!"
As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of strong warriors immediately formed groups of two and jumped onto the city wall with the oil barrel in their hands.
They wanted to pour elemental energy into the oil barrel, only to see the Talisman on the wall flash with light, and the entire oil barrel became scalding hot.
Rock looked at the Ascending Cloud Ladder that was getting closer and closer, and said with a cold smile, "Don't you have a shield? Let's see how you guys are going to block the explosion of the barrel!"
When the Ascending Cloud Ladder was still sixty meters away from the city wall, the Barbarian Clan warrior at the front shouted. He exerted force with his arms and actually threw the front end of the Ascending Cloud Ladder.
The front end of the Ascending Cloud Ladder suddenly flew up. The warrior at the back used all his strength to launch the final charge.
It was close! Closer!
There was no need for orders. The two of them prepared the same Human Warrior as before. The two of them worked together and threw the oil barrel from the city wall!
The oil barrel accurately fell towards the Ascending Cloud Ladder. When they heard a strange sound coming from above their heads, the warriors of the Barbarian Clan raised their shields and protected the warriors of the Barbarian Clan who were carrying the Ascending Cloud Ladder on their shoulders once again.
But this time, they were unable to protect each other, and they also lost their lives.
The moment the oil barrel fell on the bone shield, the Talisman on the wall emitted a dazzling light. In the next second, the huge fireball completely engulfed the surrounding ten meters, and the light of the fire illuminated more than a hundred meters.
The oil barrels that fell from the city walls were not one or two barrels. These barrels exploded at the same time, not only killing the warriors of the Barbarian Clan who were carrying the Ascending Cloud Ladder on their shoulders, but also the warriors of the Barbarian Clan. The rest of the warriors from the Barbarian Clan... There was no place for them to stay. They could only die from the burning pain.
A burst of cheers erupted from the city wall. But at this moment, the defending soldiers realized that the Ascending Cloud Ladder had borrowed the momentum of the charge and was smashing towards the city wall.
The soldiers did not pay too much attention to it. Even if the Ascending Cloud Ladder was successfully placed on the city wall, there would be a sea of fire underneath the stairs, and no warriors from the Barbarian Clan would be able to climb it. They only needed to use their strength to kick the Ascending Cloud Ladder back to the ground.
An unexpected thing happened. The moment the ___ came into contact with the city wall, the point of contact suddenly emitted a milky white light.
Seeing this scene, Fat Rat cried out in alarm, "Not good!" He was very familiar with this milky white light. Wasn't this the light emitted when the Talisman took effect?
In his mind, he couldn't help but ask himself, "How could the Barbarian Clan know the Talisman Arts..."
The light came and went in a hurry. In less than a breath's time, the light disappeared.
"What the hell was that light just now?" A warrior came in front of the Ascending Cloud Ladder while cursing, "This lousy ladder, I can push it down with just a finger!"
As he spoke, he pressed his hands on both sides of the ladder and pushed forward with all his strength!
The expected collapse of the ladder did not happen. The warrior seemed to be pushing a huge mountain. His face turned red, but the ladder did not budge.
"Hahaha! Zhao Family brat, did you not eat today!?"
"F * ck! Stop making sarcastic remarks. Hurry up and come over to help! This Ascending Cloud Ladder is really too heavy, I can't push it!"
Even though he was mocking them, when he heard his comrades asking for help, he immediately ran over to a few burly fellows who thought they were very strong.
They exerted their strength together, but the Ascending Cloud Ladder still did not budge.
"Damn it! This ladder is strange!"
Fat Rat had already run to the front of the Ascending Cloud Ladder. Seeing a powerhouse rushing over, the soldiers hurriedly made way for him.
Without waiting for the soldiers to speak, Fat Rat gathered his essence energy and slammed his palm onto the Ascending Cloud Ladder.
With the Heaven Martial Stage Expert's full strength strike, any Ferocious Beast's bones should also instantly shatter, but the Ascending Cloud Ladder did not even tremble.
1
The soldiers looked at each other in dismay. The hearts in their chests were beating faster and faster.
Fat Rat steeled his heart, "Since the ladder cannot be destroyed, then destroy the city wall under the ladder!"
After saying that, Fat Rat struck again!
This palm strike landed on the city wall below the Ascending Cloud Ladder. He wanted to smash the brick wall into pieces and let the Ascending Cloud Ladder slide down.
But... the city wall did not budge at all, not even a crack appeared...
