Free Web NovelChapter 136: Chapter 101: Close-Quarters Combat, Fist to Flesh! Successful City Assault
Shen Fei froze, watching the Knights sound their horns and charge out to meet them. He didn’t know if this was unique to the city ahead, or if all cities launched a counter-charge after their Shields shattered. Abandoning their defensive advantage to charge the attackers head-on... that’s a bit irrational!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
As the enemy Knights counter-charged, the others, who had been staring dumbly at Shen Fei, opened fire once more. They weren’t defending? Not using the advantage of their walls? They actually wanted a direct confrontation? The enemy was intentionally giving up their advantage! This made the commander, Li Yunlong, absolutely overjoyed. At Li Yunlong’s loud shouts, everyone began attacking the charging Knights.
"ROAR!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
Facing the cannonfire and skill attacks, the charging Knights suddenly roared in unison. In the blink of an eye, a massive, translucent shield with golden patterns materialized before the charging Knights, blocking everyone’s attacks. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
BZZT!
BZZT!
BZZT!
Just as everyone was preparing to unleash their ultimate moves, with Wang Dapang even directing his Hero Zhang Fei to charge the enemy formation alone, a strange, violent sound suddenly erupted across the battlefield.
"Not good!"
"They’re using a diversion!"
"Look at the city walls opposite us!"
"Watch out!"
Alerted by the strange sound, someone looked toward the enemy city wall and cried out in alarm. Looking up, everyone saw that a ring of Magic Towers on the inner side of the enemy wall had all lit up. Lights of all colors brewed within them. Then, like lasers, massive, multicolored columns of light, each so thick a person could barely wrap their arms around it, erupted from the Magic Towers with a deafening ZZZZRAK.
It turned out the so-called Knight charge wasn’t meant to engage the besiegers in close combat. It was merely a distraction to buy time for the Magic Towers to activate. Having witnessed Shen Fei unleash a barrage of Destructive Light, the city’s Guardians knew a passive defense was futile. Being semi-intelligent, they had immediately activated their ultimate magic attack.
ZZZRAAAK!
ZZZRAAAK!
ZZZRAAAK!
The moment everyone noticed the anomaly, the huge Magic Light Columns struck. Countless straight beams of light instantly tore the earth apart. Tanks in their path were sliced open, players were scorched, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were split in two. Even a few of the Defense Towers in the Heaven-Reaching Gang’s Defense Tower Array had their durability instantly depleted, breaking in two.
ZZZRAAK!
BOOM!
The initial volley from the straight-firing Magic Light Columns wasn’t the end of it. As the beams extended, they began to cross over each other in pairs, sweeping sideways like scissors.
WHOOSH!
Faced with this situation, the besiegers, whose casualties had instantly skyrocketed, fell into complete disarray.
VWWWWWW!
In the air, the massive Magic Light Columns swept across the battlefield. On the ground, the enemy Knights who had sounded their horns were also charging in.
FLAP FLAP FLAP!
FLAP FLAP FLAP!
FLAP FLAP FLAP!
In the distance, several thousand enemy air troops mounted on Griffins took flight from the city walls.
SWISH!
SWISH!
SWISH!
At the same time, the Mages in the city began waving their hands, casting their Magic. Under the night sky, the first wisp of wind appeared, and a gale began to gather. A powerful Forbidden Curse was brewing.
So this is the true power of a Neutral City? Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed as he watched the chaos unfold in the blink of an eye. Even Zhang Qiqiang’s rapidly moving Tank Array had lost over a hundred vehicles. Neutral Cities really are tough to capture! In response to my Destructive Light, they launched an all-out attack and crushed everyone in one fell swoop...
SWOOSH!
However, the notion that Neutral Cities were difficult to capture only applied to others. For Shen Fei, no such difficulty existed! Seeing the enemy commit to a full-scale assault, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate. He waved his hand and summoned another tower.
BANG!
Shen Fei’s fourth Defense Tower was summoned.
[Forbidden Magic Tower!]
To counter the enemy’s Magic Tower and Mage attacks, Shen Fei unleashed the Forbidden Magic Tower and its Forbidden Magic Domain.
"Magic is banned in this land!"
"Magic, disperse!"
The Forbidden Magic Tower already had a base range of 20 kilometers, so he didn’t even need to enhance it before using it directly. The instant the Domain activated, all Magic Elements within a 20-kilometer radius of the tower vanished.
PFFT!
PFFT!
PFFT!
The enemy Magic Towers, which had been rampaging and sweeping across the battlefield, were instantly extinguished. The massive Magic Light Column attacks, empowered by the towers, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
SWISH!
The gentle breeze that had started to blow was also instantly annihilated. The golden-patterned, translucent shield before the charging enemy Knights also shrank by at least half, the change visible to the naked eye.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
With the activation of the Forbidden Magic Domain, the players from the Tourism Management Office who had inherited abilities from magic-based games all cried out in shock. They discovered that their power had vanished. They had reverted to the ordinary people they were a week ago. They could no longer sense or use any Magic Power! This terrified all of them, who had just begun to experience such Extraordinary Power.
"I’ll break through the city walls!" Shen Fei announced, taking command from Li Yunlong to prevent any further complications. "You all clean up the Knights and Griffins!"
The moment the Forbidden Magic Domain was activated, the ultimate attack of the magical, castle-like Neutral City was instantly nullified.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The first to respond to Shen Fei were the members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang standing near him. The Magic Light Columns that had been sweeping the battlefield like scissors were gone. No longer needing to dodge the beams, they directed their deployed Defense Towers to start dealing with the charging Knights.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Soon, allied forces in other positions also followed suit. Zhang Qiqiang’s Grizzly Tanks began moving at high speed again, firing as they went.
