Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384
The flames on the siege ladder began to gradually extinguish first.
Then, more and more barbarian enemy soldiers climbed up.
Relying solely on throwing stones, rolling logs, and shooting arrows was no longer enough to kill them.
A quarter of an hour after the fish oil bombs were exhausted, the first barbarian soldier climbed onto the city wall.
Although he was quickly killed and his body fell to the ground.
But the second, third, fourth...
More and more barbarian soldiers surged up!
Suo Mo, Gantuo, Duoduo, and Duolong, these four great masters, each responsible for close to half a mile of the city wall.
The entire Flame Demon Tribe had about thirty people at the grand Demon Warrior level, and about three hundred at the Demon Warrior level.
The most elite experts stood at the front, at the most dangerous places.
The place where the siege ladder was located was the most dangerous.
"Brothers, it’s time to see blood!" Suo Mo shouted loudly, drawing out his massive sword, and charged towards the barbarian soldiers climbing up.
In an instant, two barbarian soldiers were cut into four pieces.
Swish, swish, swish...
The elite of the Flame Demon Tribe on the city wall all drew their sharp blades.
The battlefield entered the most brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat!
Wave after wave of barbarian soldiers climbed up the siege ladder, only to be beheaded and split in half, falling back down.
The elite of the Flame Demon Tribe stationed at the siege ladder location swung their swords frantically, slashing crazily, harvesting lives madly.
They killed three, five, ten, fifteen... The source of thɪs content is ⓝovelFire.net
Even when the blades of their swords curled, they continued to kill!
Even when the blades got nicked, they continued to kill!
When their swords’ blades curled, soldiers from behind would immediately hand over a sharper, new sword.
Thus, they killed and fought, seemingly tireless.
At the start of the hand-to-hand combat, the Flame Demon Tribe still had the advantage.
Because the ones fighting were the tribe’s elite Samurai, who waited leisurely on top of the city wall.
And with over a hundred siege ladders, at most two to three hundred people could charge onto the city wall at a time.
The entire battlefield remained a terrifying meat grinder.
The second wave of forty thousand troops from the Silver Alliance once again suffered shocking casualties.
"Climb the ropes!" Constantine ordered.
All open flames had been extinguished, making it safe to climb the ropes.
"Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz..." Thousands of soldiers under the city wall threw up grappling hooks, hooking onto the battlements, and desperately climbed up.
The defenders of the Flame Demon Tribe desperately swung their swords, cutting the ropes.
Barbarian soldiers climbing upwards continuously fell.
However, grappling ropes seemed endless.
More and more people climbed over the city wall.
More and more enemies joined the hand-to-hand slaughter!
The city wall was covered in blood, mangled limbs, and bodies everywhere!
Rakshasa Prince Consort Nai Shu, Alliance Hierarch of the Silver Alliance, squinted his eyes as he watched the tragic battlefield.
They hadn’t expected the Flame Demon Tribe soldiers to be so valiant, so spirited.
They originally thought that once they charged onto the city wall, the enemy would collapse.
However, it turned out to be an evenly matched fight, with the Silver Alliance’s barbarian army suffering even greater casualties.
At this time, the six thousand centaur cavalry led by Lanling were in the dense forest on a mountain several kilometers away, watching the battle unfold clearly.
"Master, your people are very brave," Xie Li Khan said.
The Flame Demon Tribe’s defenders were much braver than he had imagined, much stronger.
According to his expectations, once the enemy climbed the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the Flame Demon Tribe would immediately fall into a disadvantage.
Yet unexpectedly, it was evenly matched, perhaps even dominant.
"Master, it’s almost time, if we wait any longer, your people will suffer great casualties," Xie Li Khan said.
Lanling gestured with a wave, shaking his hand.
Not yet, he wanted to appear when the Flame Demon Tribe was at its most desperate.
He wanted the Flame Demon Tribe’s army to feel the presence of death and destruction. This was a very subtle feeling; soldiers who survive adversity will have a stronger psychological resilience and remain more composed and brave when facing crises in the future!
The brutal battle continued!
The defenders of the Flame Demon Tribe repelled wave after wave of enemy attacks.
The most elite Flame Demon Tribe Samurai didn’t even know how many swords they had exchanged, or how many injuries they had sustained on their bodies.
Thankfully, under Suo Lun’s orders, the most elite soldiers were all wearing thick armor, or else many more would have died by now.
Time passed, and the sun had risen to its zenith!
Both Lanling and Nai Shu had predicted that the battle would end by noon yesterday.
Yet, it was already noon now.
The fierce battle still continued, and the Flame Demon Tribe’s city walls had still not been breached, nor had the morale of the defending Flame Demon Tribe shattered!
The corpses below the city wall were piled three to four meters high already.
The city walls were thick with bodies as well.
Not only did the Silver Alliance’s army suffer massive casualties, but the Flame Demon Tribe’s defenders did as well.
Lanling felt cold-hearted, hardened.
These were his people, his soldiers, yet to temper the army, he watched his soldiers fall one by one without doing anything.
Lanling gathered his spiritual power and gazed toward the city wall.
Instantly, the scene on the city wall zoomed in dramatically.
He clearly saw that even the most elite Flame Demon Tribe Samurai’s eyes had started to dull.
No fear, no expression, merely mechanical slaughter.
