352: Chapter 249 Temporary Ceasefire_3 352: Chapter 249 Temporary Ceasefire_3 Xu Yuan nodded at the words:
“That’s good.”
If Vice Marshal Cang and Yuan Hao both liked to rush to the front, then he really would have to directly shake people and run away.
Although he was not certain whether Li Zhaoyuan wanted to make a move against him, this was not sothing to gamble on.
Vice Marshal Cang said softly:
“Master Xu, rest assured, as long as I am still alive, you will certainly not co to any harm.”
“Thanks.”
Xu Yuan replied with a relaxed smile, then turned to look at Li Zhaoyuan beside him:
“Second Prince, is this your first ti on the frontline?”
“Yes.”
Li Zhaoyuan turned his head back, his lips curved in a faint smile:
“Third Young Master must be the sa, right?
But why do I feel like you don’t seem nervous at all?”
Xu Yuan spread his hands, quite the rogue:
“I’m soone who’s accustod to leisure, I don’t have the habit of being nervous.”
After a pause, he stared at him and laughed:
“However, even though I’m not nervous, I cherish my life, so Second Prince, you should look after a little during the fight.
With so many people seeing you by my side, if danger cos and you don’t help , that wouldn’t be justifiable.”
At the end of his statent, Xu Yuan slightly emphasized his tone.
“……”
Li Zhaoyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Xu Yuan smiled and held his gaze.
Li Zhaoyuan was the first to look away, saying in a low voice:
“There should be other Black Scale Guards in the city, right?”
Xu Yuan also looked towards the smokescreen obstructing the view, smiling:
“Indeed, there are, but where they are now, I do not know.”
Li Zhaoyuan’s voice was calm and soothing:
“Heh…
Third Young Master is the beloved son of Minister Xu, and Minister Xu is a pillar of Great Yan.
Naturally, I will ensure Third Young Master’s safety.”
Not long after Li Zhaoyuan’s words fell,
The Barbarian Tribes at East City that had endured the bombardnt from the Demonic Beasts finally began their assault on the East City……
…
…
…
With no war colossi on the eastern side, at the onset of their siege, the Barbarian Tribes had their strongn throw countless iron spikes that embedded deeply into the city walls, forming a makeshift ladder for the Barbarian soldiers.
The smoky haze released by the colossi had beco the best cover for these Barbarians as they started their siege.
Countless Barbarian soldiers, taking advantage of this foggy opportunity, swiftly scaled the walls like ants.
Although the Protective City Formation in the sky was flickering due to insufficient supply of Origin Qi, it still continuously protected the Dayan defenders on the walls, and all kinds of defensive weapons blindly fired into the mist below.
From ti to ti, agonizing cries could be heard from beneath the city.
anwhile, within the mist at the base of the wall, Demonic Beast totems condensed and hurled themselves against the city’s Protective Formation in the sky.
Each collision caused the Protective City Formation to flicker montarily.
After a stalemate that lasted the duration of a cup of tea,
The first Barbarian leaped onto the city head, but his towering figure was instantly cleaved in two by a soldier of the Feathered Forest Army.
But then ca the second Barbarian, the tenth Barbarian, the hundredth Barbarian!
This was Xu Yuan’s first ti witnessing the Barbarians with his own eyes.
Humanoid, but ferociously frightening with an appearance that evoked an uncanny valley effect.
The Feathered Forest Army, ford in military array on the walls and awaiting battle, seed already adapted to the appearance of their foes, and their standard-issue Ancient Ingot Long Knives slashed with cruelty.
However many ca up, that many were killed.
It was almost a one-sided slaughter.
The black blood of the Barbarians gradually darkened the city walls, steaming hot, then vanished in a flash, freezing quickly in the bone-chilling cold.
But soon, the Protective City Formation in the sky seed drained of Origin Qi by the totemic attacks from the mist, and its firing frequency slowed down, leading to the first casualties among the Dayan defenders.
Once the dam of death broke, the casualties could no longer be contained.
The Barbarians at the foot of the wall seed endless; for every one killed, two more climbed up.
The Barbarians who had established bridgeheads on the walls tried to expand their gains, but the Formation Patterns on the bolt-throwers, of varying heights, blasted them into bloody parts.
Xu Yuan saw a Barbarian chieftain, with a presence not weaker than his own, trying to withstand the Formation Pattern bolt arrows, only to have his body obliterated in an instant, leaving just a pair of legs standing in place.
He also saw a Feathered Forest commander struck by a totemic phantom and instantly exploded into a spray of blood.
The red and black hot blood splashed relentlessly, and in the freezing temperatures, rapidly cooled and solidified, then was shattered into ice fragnts by the intertwining Origin Qi, fluttering through the air.
Standing on the city gate tower, Xu Yuan silently watched the war of this supernatural world below him, his breathing changing from calm to rapid, and then settling back to normal.
Under the seemingly infinite tide of Barbarians,
Pricey Formation Pattern ballistae were destroyed, spirited Feathered Forest soldiers fell in pools of blood, and the territory occupied by the Barbarians on the city walls began to spread step by step.
This was the price, the desperate gamble of Li Qingyan to concentrate forces for a decisive battle.
The advantage in the South City was exchanged with crises in the East and West Cities.
At this mont, ti seed to lose its aning.
Only the splattering of blood and the pervasive scent of death lingered above the city ramparts…..
At this point in the battle, it had beco purely a contest of wills between the commanders and the soldiers on both sides.
Whoever faltered first, would lose.
Xu Yuan clenched his fists a little but suddenly realized that Li Zhaoyuan had disappeared from his side.
The next mont,
A dazzling white lightning burst lit nearly the entire snowy sky, and the mighty presence of a First Grade Mortal Transcendence began to recklessly ravage the city walls.
The Dao Domain appeared abruptly, and in an instant, the area within a hundred paces was filled with lightning!
