Free Web NovelChapter 1192: Chapter 818: The Great Battle Begins (Part 2)
The walls of the Blood Pit Fortress seemed like a dormant steel giant beast, accumulating deadly anger in silence.
"Distance marked, Array Three and Six of the Crossbow Cannons, saturate the coverage!"
"Magic Energy Ray Tower, charge at ninety percent! Target—the ground attack siege units, take down those big guys for me!"
"All archers and mages! Firepower coverage! And shoot down those disgusting flying things with wings."
Raelia’s cold and clear commands penetrated the channel, suppressing the initial chaos of the battlefield.
Newcomers like Abis did not rashly engage in any command activities, after all, they truly didn’t understand the Abyss.
But this did not stop them from looking at Raelia with amazement.
Although through the channel, they knew Raelia was the leader of the Blood Pit Fortress.
But truly witnessing this scene still surprised them.
During the last farewell.
Raelia was still the same as before.
But now.
Finally, she was no longer just a Combat Master of the Night Watcher.
Perhaps, after so many years, she could finally ascend one more level.
Tactical Master of the Night Watcher.
Abis somehow felt a bit of comfort.
It wasn’t easy, indeed.
But one has to admit, from a charging general, she has now become a steely commander, making her even more convincing.
With the orders dispatched.
The quickest to respond was the tower.
Woo—buzz—!
The peculiar-looking Magic Power Ray Tower atop the fortress suddenly burst into brilliant light at its crystalline tip.
A dazzling beam of blazing white swept across the battlefield with a shrill that tore through the air, like the long whip of divine punishment.
Where the light passed, the advancing horned demon horde in the front seemed like butter cut by a hot knife, leaving charred gullies and heaps of roasted flesh.
One of the towers focused all its firepower, and the leading giant beast bore a hole through its formidable head.
The formidable power forcibly flipped it to the ground, carving a massive wound on its body.
Then came the piercing whistle of arrows through the air.
Countless enchanted bursting arrows, flaming arrows, and ice arrows poured out like a torrential storm from every firing slit on the wall.
They traced dense arcs in the sky, landing in the rear wards of the demons, exploding into balls of destruction, ice storms, and energy blasts.
The Abyss Flying Demons in the sky received special attention, getting precisely shot down through their wings or heads and plunging down into the chaotic demon tide below with wails.
However, the problem was, there were too many of them, and even such a sight didn’t seem to reduce their numbers much.
"The tide of desecration, should be poured back into the Abyss."
On a high platform of the wall, Abis murmured an ancient spell, stretching her slender front hoof to sketch eerie dark purple runes beneath her.
A formless, heart-pounding force field expanded from her as the center.
The Abyss Abomination below, preparing to spew acid in one area, suddenly froze in place, its desecrated flesh and internal chaotic magic involuntarily reversing, conflicting, and annihilating.
With its agonizing roar, its massive body exploded inside out into viscous purple-black pulp, affecting a large swath of demons around it.
Instantly, a region was cleared.
However, the chaotic tide was endless.
Although the long-range firepower was fierce, the demons were just too many, advancing one after another, paving the road with corpses.
Sometimes, turning bodies into ash through datafication operations wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Because these bodies were dispersing.
The road ahead was flat.
At the forefront, the brutal demons and siege devil claws climbed on heaps of bodies built by their companions, finally reaching the solid walls.
At this time, you wished the bodies would disperse quickly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huge siege hammers etched with abyssal runes were pushed up front, vigorously hitting the metal wall base reinforced by alchemy runes.
The deafening impacts shook the entire fortress.
Sharp siege grappling hooks attached to chains whistled as they swung over the walls, firmly grabbing onto the crenels, as Frenzy Demons and Purgatory Guards clad in bloodbone armor and wielding giant axes or hammers roared while climbing up.
Not that they didn’t want to leap forcefully or fly simply.
But the environment didn’t allow it.
Magic reduced their speed of movement.
"Shield formation! Gunners! Go!" The officers of the Night Watcher roared.
With precise maneuvering, heavy infantry wielding tower shields immediately formed ranks behind the merlons, countless enchanted armor-piercing long spears glimmering in the gaps.
The demons that reached the top of the walls were met not with chaotic melee but with a cold steel jungle.
Long spears pierced like a forest, shields pushed like a mountain.
"One, two, thrust!"
Unified shouts replaced individual heroic calls.
Nothing stimulated their muscle memory more than such shouts.
A just emerged Frenzy Demon was instantly pierced through its critical joints from different angles by seven or eight long spears, screaming as it was collectively flung off the wall.
The falling body crushed several climbers below.
The entire battlefield had reached a feverish stage.
Another Purgatory Guard was thrown off balance by a shield formation strike, before it could swing its weapon, two crossbow arrows precisely pinned its flame core’s crevice, instantly exploding.
The Night Watcher’s tacit cooperation resembled a precision slaughter machine, forcefully carving out an orderly death zone on the chaotic battlefield edge.
The number of demons was too vast, yet also limited the number they could rush at once.
