Chapter 458: 446 Fierce Attack Begins_1
The sky gradually brightened, and the early morning of Mel City was often shrouded in thick fog. Today was no exception.
While most of the monster armies were still sleeping, goblin Gaz had already mounted his warg, and his gaze towards Mel City was very solemn.
Last night, the kobolds and burrowing worms working underground had all died miserably underground.
Just a moment ago, some kobolds above ground had unearthed a few corpses of their companions. Gaz had seen the bodies first-hand, and their appearances were too horrible to describe, almost reduced to a puddle of mush.
Without a doubt, there must be a highly skilled expert in Mel City, at least no less powerful than the Legend rank.
But coincidentally, not long ago, Gaz had successfully broken through the limitations and entered the realm of the Legend, fulfilling his promise and becoming a goblin Sword Saint of Legend.
Although there were no other Legendary fighters in the Soaring Dragon Legion that accompanied him, let’s not forget that there were quite a few Nord people nearby.
Among these Nord people, their queen, Valkyrie Angelia, had become a Legendary fighter without anyone’s knowledge.
To step into the realm of the Legend, talent alone is not enough. Like Gaz and Angelia, who have come this far, they both have a lot of financial and material support behind them.
Of course, the most important thing is that they both have the blessing of Otto.
The kobolds and the burrowing worms have failed. Next, perhaps it’s time for a full-scale assault.
Understanding this, Gaz was already prepared. As time passed, most of the monsters rubbed their swollen eyes, shook their heavy heads, and crawled up from the ground.
Meanwhile, the fog surrounding Mel City not only did not dissipate but also seemed to become thicker.
However, this was a good opportunity for the upcoming assault.
Under the guidance of a lizardman, Angelia walked to Gaz’s side.
The Nord people do not produce horses. Although Angelia had acquired many high-quality warhorses after the conquests of Farrand and Felton, she still preferred to walk on foot.
The people of Old Nord were quite stubborn. They firmly believed that walking with their own feet on the ground was the greatest respect for their great ancestors.
In a short time, Gaz and Angelia exchanged information and reached an agreement.
It seemed that there was definitely a Legendary fighter in Mel City, and this Legendary fighter would naturally be dealt with by Gaz and Angelia.
Taking advantage of the thick fog, the assault began with Gaz’s command.
Those monsters that were still sound asleep were quickly woken up by their companions, though their methods were not gentle.
Slapping and kicking were considered gentle.
Looking at the towering city walls, Gaz couldn’t help sneering, “Although the underground attack has failed, what will happen if we come from the sky?”
“Roar!”
Deafening roars of dragons came from the distant sky. Carmela, who hadn’t slept for a night, had been guarding the city wall after dealing with the underground creatures, his eyes full of bloodshot veins.
Upon hearing the sound, Carmela, who was still somewhat sleepy, immediately became alert.
“That call… is it chimeras and wyverns?”
Duke Carmela’s face turned serious, and he immediately shouted for the city’s defenders to mobilize the city’s ballistae and magic crystal cannons, while the catapults in the city were also not idle.
In an instant, the entire Mel City became lively.
Unfortunately, despite hearing the roars of chimeras and wyverns from a distance, the thick fog made it difficult for ordinary soldiers to see what was happening around them.
By the time they finally discovered the traces of these airborne tyrants, the distance between the two sides had been reduced to a very dangerous level.
“Quick, stop them! Don’t let these filthy monsters get near Mel City!”
Carmela’s voice sounded hoarse from the shouting, and he noticed that almost all the chimeras and wyverns were carrying strange black iron spheres below them.
Although he wasn’t sure what these strange spheres were for, Carmela’s instincts told him not to let these odd things get close to the city walls.
In an instant, a large number of crossbow bolts, cannon spells, and catapulted large rocks rained down from the city walls towards the chimeras and wyverns.
At the same time, the soldiers who weren’t manning the war machines were also not standing idly by. They were mostly drawing bows and nocking arrows, while those without bows and arrows used throwing spears, the most primitive of weapons.
However, unfortunately, although they had tried their best, the chimeras and wyverns were simply too close.
Even though some had been shot down by the rain of arrows, many others had already flown above Mel City.
Then, under Duke Carmela’s furious gaze, those black spheres began falling from the sky.
Finally, a black metal sphere fell into Mel City, landing next to a catapult, creating a large pit.
A soldier beside the catapult couldn’t resist his curiosity and walked up to inspect the strange sphere, only to find a dazzling red gem shimmering on it.
Although the Western Empire was strong, being a soldier in the empire was not a great life.
This dim-witted soldier had been enlisted for several years and still hadn’t saved much money.
Although the black sphere seemed suspicious, the dazzling red gem caught his eye, and in an instant, he drew his sword from his waist, wanting to pry it off and stuff it into his own pocket.
Before he could finish this action, he felt a sudden void in front of him, followed by oblivion.
“Boom!”
A violent explosion shook everything around the black sphere, tearing it apart.
The greedy soldier, as well as the surrounding catapults, were all shattered under the terrifying explosion.
The power of the Black Iron Bomb, jointly produced by Green Burst and the Black Iron Dwarves, seemed to have grown even stronger.
The sudden explosion startled everyone in Mel City, and the vibrations from the ground only added to their confusion.
But before they could think of anything else, a series of explosions rang out across Mel City.
The guards on the city walls stared in shock at what was happening, and in the end, it was Carmela’s angry roar that brought their thoughts back to the present.
“Imperial soldiers, fear nothing!”
Duke Carmela’s roar rekindled the morale of the surrounding soldiers, and they once again raised their weapons and the large war machines beside them, counterattacking the flying monsters in the sky.
Even Duke Carmela himself was now brandishing his ornate sword, leaping high into the air and splitting a chimera in half with a single stroke.
