Wizard: Starting fro Chapter 160 - 60: Assault on the City

Chapter 160: Chapter 60: Assault on the City

The Beastn have always enjoyed war and slaughter, and the cities they build naturally serve the purpose of warfare.

The walls of Moon Shadow City stand about twenty ters high and are constructed entirely from massive stones.

As the Slave Legion entered the range of the magic-guided cannon, the cannons on the walls began to gather a blue glow, and then a blue orb shot out instantly, exploding amidst the Slave Legion.

The magic-guided cannon contains extrely high energy, and after exploding, it releases overwhelming energy, consuming everything around it, accompanied by intense heat.

So slave creatures at the center of the explosion instantly lost half of their bodies, as the rampant energy devoured their flesh.

Such a scene did not frighten the nearby slave creatures, whose steps continued without the slightest hesitation toward the city walls.

The magic-guided cannons continuously exploded around them, and the cannons on the walls grew intensely hot, causing worry among the beastn operating them that the cannons might suddenly detonate.

Such incidents have happened before; these magic-guided cannons have been around for years, older than many of the beastn.

The Beastn are indeed good at repairing things, but what they fix often isn’t very reliable and tends to break after a while.

Ackman stood atop the wall, watching the magic-guided cannons harvest batches of slave creatures’ lives, but he felt far from relaxed.

He had sent ssages to other cities for reinforcents, hoping to hold on longer with the tall and sturdy city walls until help arrived.

However, Ackman was unaware that such scenes were unfolding in many cities across the Wilderness Continent.

Other cities were struggling to protect themselves and had no strength to spare for aiding him.

The Slave Legion is quite experienced in dealing with walls like these, having taken down walls even taller and thicker before.

There are many solutions, but the most resource-efficient and convenient way is to have so slave creatures carry the wizards’ high explosive energy bombs and directly blow down these walls.

The high explosive energy bomb is an extrely dangerous alchemy creation that can be detonated at long range through spiritual power.

Among these slave creatures, quite a few carry these bombs, which are only the size of a fingertip.

Their task is to bring the high explosive energy bombs to the base of the walls, completing their mission.

However, to charge through the enemy’s torrential assault to reach the wall base is no easy feat.

For those slave creatures carrying these bombs, their lives no longer matter, as their fate is likely death.

Many slave creatures are aware of this, but branded with the Slave Mark, they have no choice.

The Slave Legion could indeed use the super energy cannon to bombard and collapse the wall, but that would excessively waste energy resources.

The wizards, upon calculation, still found it more cost-effective to have so slave creatures carry the bombs.

The war has just begun, and the resources they carry are limited, not to be squandered carelessly.

Among the eighty thousand slave creatures, only over a thousand have reached the first level of power, while most are cannon fodder yet to reach the first level.

But even such a force surpassed Ackman’s understanding.

It’s worth noting that in all of Moon Shadow City, there are only two entities of the first level life form.

Many of the first-level life forms within the Slave Legion have yet to deploy, such as Dog-man Reed, who is currently stationed at the rear observing the battle.

It’s not yet their turn to enter; the war’s early stages are when casualties are highest, and the opposition almost devotes all their strength to halting their advance.

Ackman had never seen such an enemy before; the Beastn race is also fearless and courageous, but they would never be as insane as these creatures.

In the eyes of these slave creatures, Ackman saw nothing but madness, as if they had no feeling toward death.

He even saw so slave creatures revealing a sense of relief in their eyes as they fell.

Ackman could not understand the scene before him; these creatures were clearly from different races, yet they were working together with relentless determination.

In Ackman’s view, these were incredibly strong races, possibly on par with their green-skinned Orcs.

Facing such an enemy, the Beastn race was bound to endure a fierce battle, yet he still did not believe they would be defeated.

However, Ackman was unaware that what he faced were rely cannon fodder, with the real enemies yet to appear before him.

Soon, the magic-guided cannon was unable to stop the Slave Legion’s advance.

The magic-guided cannons on the walls were limited, and their garrison numbered only twenty thousand, while the besieging Slave Legion amounted to eighty thousand.

Ackman did not know the exact figures, but the situation made it clear they were at a trendous disadvantage.

From any perspective, this was undoubtedly a losing battle, a matter of ti before the city fell and its people perished.

But Ackman did not think so; he believed, "I think we can win!"

The surrounding Slave Legion also believed they would win, hence were not rushing into an all-out attack, with their true core forces remaining in the rear.

The ones charging ahead were weak slave creatures, rely expendable pawns existing solely to deplete Moon Shadow City’s garrison’s strength.

Many orc archers and gunners on the walls were continuously shooting at the slave creatures below.

One slave creature after another fell, yet this did little to hinder the Slave Legion’s forward montum.

The Slave Legion below was not just taking hits passively; many slave creatures possessed ranged attack capabilities.

So slave creatures could spit acid, and the green acid corroded the Beastn’s flesh quickly upon impact, causing them unbearable pain as they fell headfirst from the wall, dying instantly.

Other slave creatures wielded special bows, small magic-guided cannons, and similar items, accurately targeting the Beastn on the walls.

The equipnt possessed by the Slave Legion was exchanged for military rits; the wizards only provided them with so basic gear.

To obtain better equipnt required the slave creatures to exchange it for battlefield performance.

Moreover, slave creatures could not own any spoils of war; all spoils belonged to the wizards.

This was an iron rule etched into their Slave Mark, and no slave creature could violate it.

Confined by the Slave Mark, no slave creature had ever secretly taken any spoils.

Every ti an orc fell from the wall, another imdiately filled the position.

The offensive capabilities of the magic-guided cannons and these beastn were ultimately limited, and the vast numbers of the Slave Legion eventually brought them to the base of the walls.
