Chapter 1125: Chapter 731, Divine Realm Guards (One update for today first)
[Old God Relics quest initiated, wishing you good luck.]
The system prompt appeared again, jolting Fang Hao back to reality.
He didn’t have ti to analyze why the Divine Territory had beco so corrupted.
What he needed to do now was to prepare for the upcoming battle.
As soon as the prompt ended, Fang Hao imdiately used God’s Presence to check the Troop Hiding Caves in all four directions outside the city.
When he confird that the troops inside had also co along and the commands were without issue,
he felt sowhat relieved.
His vast forces would cost the enemy dearly even if they tried to kill them.
Wuu!
At that mont, a resounding horn sounded from the sky.
Drifting over from the horizon’s end, it was clear and piercing.
This was the charge horn.
It seed the enemy had begun its attack.
There was no need to arrange for scouts, as silhouettes rushing towards them had already beco visible at the edge of sight.
Dong, dong, dong!
Alarm bells from the walls on all four sides rang out in succession, indicating the presence of the enemy on every front.
Fang Hao took out his monocular and looked back into the distance.
He saw masses of hulking giants, draped in gray-brown battle armor, steadily advancing.
Their armor and weapons were complete, but their staggering gait made them look more like Rotten Corpses in motion
than even the regular Skeletons’ coordinated movents.
Appearing one after another, there were about five hundred in total.
He climbed the watchtower to look towards the other two sides.
The enemies looked the sa, and their numbers were about the sa.
It seed that the enemy forces were equally numbered on all four walls.
“Amanda, take atfist, Spencer, and twenty Nisbits, and defend the west city wall; Rolana, lead Aseti, Beiyehu, and twenty Nisbits, in charge of the south wall defense; Beata, along with Nelson and the Lion King, and twenty Nisbits, hold the north wall,” Fang Hao instructed the heroes behind him.
He had discussed the heroes’ deploynt with Amanda before coming.
After all, each wall required defenders for a siege defense.
There was plenty of manpower, so the main heroes to defend were determined by rank, with the other heroes serving as deputies.
“Yes, my Lord.”
The heroes whose nas were called quickly left for their assigned sectors.
Fang Hao continued, “Frederick, you take charge of the logistics, arms, and ammunition, together with Millie, ensuring ample defense munitions for every part of the wall.”
“Yes, my Lord,” the orange Dwarf Skeleton hero answered with a fist salutation.
Millie, however, was hesitant, “I want to be on the battlefield; please let join Beata.”
She and Beata were neighbors, and their sizes were quite similar.
They had beco good friends over ti.
“Be good, or else I might have to report you to Eira when we get back,” Fang Hao said.
“Alright, I’ll go. Is that okay?” Millie followed Frederick towards the center of the city.
After everyone was assigned,
Demitrija, Anjia, Hilda, and the remaining Nisbits stayed with Fang Hao to defend the East City wall.
Without considering an attack for now, this arrangent was enough to hold all four walls.
…
Ti ticked away.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the distant enemy began to draw closer to the walls.
[Divine Realm Guards (Tier 10)].
Damn!
The mont he saw the properties, Fang Hao nearly shouted out loud.
Starting off with a Tier 10 unit.
So they went for maximum difficulty right from the start…
Moreover, this was a defense quest with wave after wave of reinforcent until the transmigrator was eliminated.
aning, the first wave of enemies was definitely the simplest.
But even the simplest was Tier 10.
What would follow…
Even with Fang Hao’s nurous forces, he was sowhat concerned about what kind of enemies might appear next.
The large and burly targets staggered forward in a run.
They swayed, but their speed was still fast; after all, they possessed the base properties of a Tier 10, so there weren’t any serious flaws.
“My Lord, they have entered rifle range,” Demitrija spoke up.
Fang Hao nodded, “Let the riflen fire.”
Dong, dong, dong!
The drums of war roared.
Under the orders of the Bound Spirit Guardians, the riflen on the wall aid at the enemy below.
Bang!
Bang, bang!
Volleys of gunfire rained downwards.
The bullets ricocheted off the heavy armor, ringing loudly as they bounced in all directions.
Their defense was indeed very high.
Clang!
A dull sound echoed.
A giant warrior’s iron helt flew off under the persistent hail of bullets, falling to the ground.
Underneath, a rotted and hideous skull was revealed.
But even with the little that remained of his facial features,
Fang Hao recognized it at a glance, a Troll…
A higher-level, bigger Troll than those from the Bloodstench Mountain Range.
Tap, tap!
At that mont, a Bound Spirit Guardian ca rushing over, “My Lord, the other three sides are secure, all enemies eliminated.”
On the other fronts, so were taken out by cannon fire and so by direct Dragon Breath.
Fang Hao allowed the enemies to co closer to clearly see their nas and attributes.
“Mhm, I know,” He responded, then instructed, “Send out the Bone Dragons to clean them up.”
Hoo, hoo!
A series of swooshing noises echoed.
Several Bone Dragons soared overhead, breathing back and forth over the enemies below.
When they were about a hundred ters from the wall, the last enemy collapsed to the ground, their body turning into a puddle of putrid muck.
[Countdown: 9 minutes, 42 seconds…]
The countdown was probably the ti for the second wave of enemies to arrive.
Glancing into the distance, there was no sign of enemies.
He said, “Have soone clean up the battlefield.”
The city gates opened slightly, and a few soldiers rushed out to collect the battle loot.
Then they returned to the city and closed the gates tightly.
“Lord, these are the spoils of this battle.”
[Rock Iron Armor (Purple)][Stalagmite Giant Mallet (Purple)][Forgotten Soul][Traces of Prayer][Divine Traces]…
Although the corpses had disappeared, the dropped equipnt was preserved.
This must also be part of the reward.
The purple equipnt was of decent quality, but these pieces were too damaged to be of much use.
Wondering if blueprints might drop.
The defensive power of this piece of equipnt was quite high; bullets ricocheted off it in all directions.
The [Stalagmite Giant Mallet]was a huge stone hamr used by Trolls, shaped like a trumpet, with the thinner end bound in leather.
As a purple-quality item, it was already a decent weapon.
However, the Troll faction was still a niche in the world and might not sell well.
Besides the dropped equipnt, there were also so materials. [Forgotten Soul]was necessary for recruiting Nisbits.
It was rare among rare materials.
Collecting enough of it would allow for mass recruitnt of Nisbits.
“Take these to the warehouse and inform the other walls that the next attack will happen in ten minutes; arrange manpower to clean up the battlefield,” Fang Hao continued.
“Yes, my lord.”
…
The wait.
Fang Hao tried to open the Book of Lords. Channel functions were usable, but the shop and trade functions were greyed out and unavailable.
It could be that the system had locked them, or it might be because he was in the Divine Realm space, rendering them unusable.
“Damn, this mission is poisonous! Starting with tenth-tier enemies is just brutal…”
“Lucky I bought cannons, a wild bombardnt almost killed them. Otherwise, it would have been tough.”
“Damn it, I should have bought more cannons to bomb those monsters to death.”
“What kind of enemies do you guys have? I’ve got flaming-haired Trolls over here, and they’re tough to fight.”
“Why is the trade channel closed? Anyone know how to open it?”
“Damn it, my city gate has been chiseled with a big hole.”
“Is there any dead brother who went out there and can actually resurrect? I don’t think my gate can withstand a second wave.”
“Fuck, what kind of herbs to cure stomach issues, I can’t stop shitting here.”
“The test of God… An!”
The first wave being tenth-tier enemies was indeed a bit too exaggerated.
Without the city walls to hold them off and allow the transmigrators to wear down these enemies,
many transmigrators would likely be eliminated in the first round.
Even with the walls, so people in the channels were complaining that their cities were about to fall apart, and they were done for.
…
Woo!
At that mont, the sound of the horn resounded once more.
At the edge of his vision, shadows appeared again in the distance, but their numbers had doubled.
A quick estimate suggested there might be over a thousand.
Behind the ranks, there followed a large Troll in tattered robes holding a magic wand, likely a Mage-type long-range unit.
The enemies approached bit by bit.
And at a certain distance away,
the wand-wielding Trolls stopped their forward march.
They began to gather magic power.
Imdiately thereafter, waves of grey buffs were bestowed upon the ‘Divine Realm Guards’ in front.
It seed like so kind of amplification spell.
The Divine Realm Guards continued to move forward.
As they entered range of the cannons, Fang Hao decisively gave the order.
“Fire the cannons!”
The cannons had a much longer range than rifles.
Upon his command, a series of booms rang out as cannonballs whistled through the air and smashed into the enemy formations.
Boom—Boom!
Explosions tossed the enemies into chaos.
Even the tenth-tier ones couldn’t stand up to such direct artillery hits.
The enemies pushed forward despite the cannon fire, covering so distance.
The brown-armored guards continued to approach with large strides.
And the long-range Trolls with magic wands also closed the distance slightly.
They stopped in their tracks to gather magic.
Under Fang Hao’s watchful eye,
they conjured boulders the size of wine barrels and hurled them directly at the wall.
Fang Hao and the others were taken aback and quickly ducked for cover.
Bang!
A loud thud shook the wall itself.
The walls, crafted by Dwarven iron, would have possibly sustained a big hole if not for the fact that the conjured stones were not as sturdy as cannonballs.
“Are you alright?” Anjia helped him up.
Protected within his Dragon Scale Armor, Fang Hao shook his head and said, “I’m fine, send down the Bone Dragon to clean them all out.”
Whoosh whoosh!
The Bone Dragon struck again, spraying ‘Death Breath’ at the enemies.
These enemies seemingly lacked any intelligence.
Close combatants only knew to charge forward, while the Mages circled in place, following the Bone Dragon and randomly casting Earth Elental Magic without any real strategy.
As the Bone Dragon circled overhead, the enemies were once again wiped out.
“Clean up the battlefield, and call Spencer over.”
Soon, Spencer arrived by flight, landing beside Fang Hao, “You called for , my lord?”
“Yes. There’s so ti before the enemies attack again, I need you to head in the direction from which they’re coming and find out where exactly these ones are coming from. If there’s any danger, return imdiately.”
“Understood, my lord.”
Spencer leaped from the wall and transford into a dragon mid-air, heading towards where the enemies had co from.
