Green Skin Chapter 258

258 Siege of the Ice Fortress

Charge!!! Chargeeee!

Advance! Advance!

For the Cause!!

The sounds of the humans from the South and West could be heard. However, I already knew that they would be casting spells as they shouted, rather than rushing towards us.

The presence of high-level mages in a siege is crucial, not only for a siege but also for large-scale battles or raids. To compare it to modern warfare, its like having missiles or bombs that can wipe out hundreds or thousands at once.

Clearing the way for entry through bombardnt before infantry charges is easier. If the mages of the Southwest Alliance have the upper hand, it will cause significant damage to the enemy forces on the other side. If the mages of our Northeast Alliance have the upper hand, the fortress wont hold up well, and it might crumble down.

Even though Blizzard Path Guilds Master Seo Lee Ju is a skilled mage, the magical power of the Northeast Alliance may be sowhat lacking, possibly influenced by the Queen of the North. While specialized in ice magic, many strong mages are leaning towards the warrior side. Of course, there are skilled individuals like Seo Lee Ju, but I believe the magical power of the Northeast Alliance is sowhat behind.

The King of the South.

Ive never heard about his class or the exact skills he uses, but I know he is a highly skilled mage despite his appearance. As a self-proclaid regional king, he is undoubtedly a skilled individual. Although not as much firepower as Jungha-yeon, he must be a formidable mage, possibly surpassing Choi Eun-joo.

Theyre coming.

rging magical power from above, even for soone like who has grown, an enormous magical power is felt. It is definitely not a spell that can be cast in a short ti.

Choi Seul-gi muttered beside .

The promised three days are nonsense.

A sound like the air tearing apart is heard. Looking up at the sky, whats visible is a massive teor.

Huh

Certainly indicating the intention to destroy the fortress, but the troops arent shaken. Green-skinned creatures waiting with under the fortress and even farther away were silently staring at the falling teor.

The small-looking teor grew larger in my line of sight. If it falls, not only will the fortress be destroyed, but it will also cause considerable damage, but the forces do not waver. The Green-skins waiting with under the fortress are also quietly watching the falling teor.

Even before I had a chance to open my mouth, there was a deafening sound as if the air was being torn apart. Looking up at the sky, a gigantic black creature began to erge. Chang Je-ri, located in the center of the fortress, was calmly holding up the Reapers Scythe, reaching her hand toward the sky.

As the black creature opened its huge mouth, an unbearable number of teeth beca visible. Although I had seen it during the ti with Jang Ki-young, it was much larger now. It was much more threatening and much more solid. Whether it was to swallow the falling teor or in preparation for falling, the blurry form of the creature suddenly transford.

Influenced by the magical power of the King of the South. When Chang Je-ri lifted her hand again, the creature, which had beco blurry once again, quickly regained its shape. Soon, the teor and the black creature collided head-on.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

With a trendous roar, the black beast intercepted the teor, a sight that looked alien to anyone witnessing it. Even to , it seed incredibly fascinating. The humans below were also staring in disbelief.

Monster.

It was probably a remark made by everyone, and even I couldnt help but chuckle at the sight.

Squeeeeeak

A chilling sound echoed as the enormous teor was crushed by the creatures teeth, and the fragnts fell, but they didnt cause any significant damage to the fortress or threaten the troops. The sound of protective spells being cast by the mages continued.

Then ca the second barrage. This ti, it was not the King of the South but the regular mages from the South.

But I can stop it.

Since the teor attack was blocked, I didnt think this attack would cause any damage to the fortress either. Perhaps the real purpose was to allow the advancing troops to get close to the fortress without any harm.

Magical attacks kept raining down from all directions towards the protective spells. Our mages couldnt cast offensive spells.

Before they could attach to the wall, we needed to reduce the number of enemy troops as much as possible. If we couldnt use mages, we could use archers. My thoughts seed to reach Kang Chang Hoon, the Northern knight beside the Northern Queen.

Though not a skilled warrior, he was quite experienced in commanding troops. He would be good at timing.

All units! Load!

The sounds of the troops footsteps and shouts were heard. The enemies were getting closer. I looked at Choi Seul-gi and opened my mouth.

The vanguard?

Jung Wiyoung.

Poo-hat.

He must be quite angry. He was also a veteran like the Northern knights, perhaps even surpassing them. He intended to go all out from the beginning.

As the enemys shouts got closer, Northern knight Kang Chang Hoon raised the sword he was holding and shouted.

Fire!

Arrows shot up into the sky. I estimated the range and shot the arrows high into the air.

Shields up! Shields!

There was a loud voice from the enemy as well. Shieldbearers raised their shields to block the arrows. However, there was no way there wouldnt be any casualties. The recent attack must have dealt significant damage to the enemy forces.

Load!

Fire!

Load!!!

Fire!!!!

The voice of Kang Chang Hoon and the shouts of the others continued to echo. On the battlefield, a common sound, but it seed to excite the ogres of Goff. They were growling as if they wanted to rush out. However, now wasnt a good ti.

I began to look at Elia, and she imdiately started morizing the casting. The overall view of the battlefield was visible.

Soldiers falling and bleeding, arrows flying into the sky, each ti they did, the advancing enemies staggered. However, despite that, the forces pushing forward seed endless.

You damn bastards.

Most of those who fell were the weak. Unfortunately, the shieldbearers at the front, led by Jung Wiyoung and the Holy Order, suffered almost no damage. They perfectly blocked the arrows with their shields and healed minor injuries with their holy power. They would recover from any injuries on their own.

What they were protecting seed to be a siege weapon, sothing made to break through the ice wall. There was no gate in the ice wall, but they probably planned to break through the ice wall by infusing magical power into that weapon.

Charge! Charge! For the Cause!

Block them!! Load! Fire!

Continuous showers of arrows rained down, and the enemies also started protecting their position with magical barriers. Thanks to that, our mages gained a bit more vigor.

Kwaaaaah!

This ti, it was similar to Seo Lee Jus style; a cold aura surrounded her. As her eyes flashed open, an incantation with an unknown na flowed from her lips, and the effect was beyond what I had anticipated.

Blizzard.

The Blizzard, the 18th magic of the ice mages, was a spectacle to behold. Although I had seen it from a distance before, witnessing such a massive spell in action was a first.

In an instant, a giant storm of ice began to engulf and swallow the advancing enemies. Naturally, the enemys marching speed slowed down. In the anti, arrows continued to rain down, causing nurous casualties.

Uwaaaaaah!

Aaaaaaaah!

My arm! My arm!

However, the injured kept getting back up. A trendous divine power enveloped them, and the wounded warriors rose again, gripping their swords.

Holy Sword.

Perhaps expecting more significant casualties than we did, Seo Lee Ju released her divine power much faster than we had anticipated. Though she probably only wished the pig-like creatures to fight a little longer, the power of the Holy Sword seed to have a significant impact on them.

For Hayuri-nim who watches over us! Charge! Lets fight forward for the Cause!

For the Cause!

Before the enemies reached the fortress, the long-range marksn on both sides were displaying quite a high level of attack and defense.

Load!

This ti, the sound didnt co from our side. The enemies were also shooting arrows toward the fortress. It indicated that the enemies were close. Archers who hadnt morized protective spells were hit by enemy arrows and fell.

Priests! Priests!

The priests were continuously releasing divine power. At that mont, another spell from the King of the South began to fall. Since the teor might not have a significant effect, a massive magical power spread, and a rain of fire began to fall. Even our Blood Dagger Clan, included in the impact range, I murmured to Hark and Orbo.

Hark, Orbo.

Got it!

At my voice, Hark drew his sword, and Orbo raised his shield. Hark continuously blocked the rain of fire with his sword, and Orbo, with his massive shield, struck the ground. Eventually, a massive magical shield that seed capable of protecting our entire clan was ford. It was the unique ability of that creature.

We sohow managed to block them, but there would be damage on the fortress wall.

Although the protective spell imdiately covered the wall, it wasnt entirely ineffective. The ice mages and Chang Je-ri were blocking it, but a part of the wall was crumbling. Of course, it wasnt easy for them to enter. Kang Chang Hoon, the Northern knight, was also moving toward the damaged section of the wall.

Fire! Fire!

Ladders! Ladders!

With grappling hooks and ladders attached to the wall, the siege had truly begun.

Pouring boiling oil or throwing stones wouldnt stop the warriors climbing the wall. They were probably protecting themselves and the ladders with magical power. The only things that could stop them were high-level mage spells or arrows from the archers.

The spear soldiers continued to knock down the enemies climbing up the ladders, and the mages were destroying the ladders themselves. Arrows and spells continued to rain down, and screams were heard.

While the quality of our troops was superior, the quantity of enemy troops was different. The gap in numbers wouldnt be filled by the overwhelming power of a mage who could wipe out hundreds or thousands with a single spell. Thats how much the forces brought by the West and the South were not to be taken lightly.

The corpses kept piling up against the wall, and those trying to climb over them were visible.

Aaaaah!

Die!

Dont let them climb! Dont let them!

The Holy Order will handle the spear soldiers! Handle them!
