The noise came through the space crack. Richard knew what was happening even if he didn’t see it.

His eyes turned cold, and his breathing slowed down.

Although he had experienced countless battles of all sizes, today, he commanded five legions of brilliant level and above to fight against the entire world.

It was ultimately the first time.

It was also the monumental war he had encountered so far.

Moreover, he was the core of this war, everyone’s first goal.

Whether he succeeded or not would directly determine the direction of this world.

“Gray, take good care of our troops.

“Remember, everything is for protecting ourselves and minimizing casualties.”

In such a vast scene, the hundreds of soldiers in Twilight City were like a drop in the ocean.

He had arranged an extremely safe position for the troops, where they could freely harvest points simultaneously.

As the commander of the troop, this action was effortless.

“Yes, Lord!”

The moment Gray’s voice fell.

‘Woohoo!’

A long horn sound pierced through the space crack.

The war had begun!

Richard’s face froze.

“Archers, get ready!!”

The troops were positioned.

The soldiers stationed on the city wall pulled their longbows in unison. The sound of the tightly stretched bowstrings instantly froze the battlefield’s atmosphere.

In the next second, along with the sound of the horn, the densely packed mechanical puppets passed through the space crack that was like a curtain of water.

These 5-meter and more war machines were the dwarves’ masterpieces.

The various ferocious weapons on their bodies gave people goosebumps a mere glance at them.

“Attack!”

A cold snort spread across the battlefield.

The archers on the city wall, the arrow formation behind the city wall, the arrow towers of different heights…

They released the tightened to the extreme bowstrings in their hands simultaneously.

‘Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!’

Arrows that reflected the cold light whistled out.

The overstated number of arrows covered the sky.

The city wall was only a hundred meters away from the widest point of the spatial gate.

The arrows were utterly within the maximum damage range.

[Ding~ You have hit sugar palm.]

The first batch of soldiers were all mechanical puppets with sensational defensive capabilities.

However, under the saturated attacks, the Templar City defense pierced through their bodies and directly broke their weak joints.

Within a few breaths, the killing machines had turned into a pile of mechanical limbs.

However, this small number of casualties was insufficient to stop the Templar City’s attack. Increasing mechanical puppets poured in through the spatial gaps.

There was a pile of mechanical limbs in front of them in less than ten minutes.

It looked like some kind of large-scale mechanical demolition factory. It was visually impressive.

However, not long after, the attacking enemy troops changed.

Various human warriors and archers covered in magic shields began to push forward with the mechanical puppets.

Surprisingly, those human soldiers had more than a dozen buff spells.

Although those above level 14 could not enter, they used another method to reinforce the troops.

The will of the plane did not reject this.

Richard took a deep breath when he saw this.

The real test had just begun…

After the enemy entered, the recently decimated mechanical puppets became the best cover.

The five-meter-tall body was enough to cover a few people.

With the protection of the magic puppet’s limbs, their archers kept pulling the trigger to suppress the enemy.

The human soldiers quickly pushed themselves below the city wall.

The 12-meter-tall city wall might be an impossible height for ordinary people to climb.

However, for the first batch of elite soldiers who launched their attacks, their levels were almost all at 14.

It was a piece of cake to climb over it.

The fully armed human soldiers leaped and stabbed their long blades into the city wall before stomping on it.

‘Kacha!’

Cracks riddled the city walls, and the immense force of the recoil caused them to rise in height.

The archers at the back suppressed the incoming troop, and only the soldiers at the front posed a threat to them.

In just a few breaths, enemy soldiers filled the front of the city walls.

There were too many of them, and they could not kill their way over…

However, just as the enemy was about to succeed…

‘Iiisss!’ The city walls formed from sand and stone were like the bristles of a hedgehog blowing its hair, and countless sharp spikes shot out instantly.

The soldiers close to the city walls to avoid the arrows were unprepared, and their armor could still block the attack.

The barrel instantly pierced through the armor’s weak spots of the neck, face, and eyes.

Blood splattered everywhere, and one by one, corpses fell to the ground.

[Ding~ You have killed a glorious-level soldier. And you have obtained 300 points…]

[Ding…]

The system’s notifications rang in Richard’s ears.

[Yellow Sand Control, Beyond A-rank…]

This attack had killed at least seven to eight squadrons of enemies.

[Ding~ Your level has increased.]

[Current Level: 8]

[Your maximum magic energy points have increased to 2,000 points.]

When the last notification rang, a majestic power that looked like lava gushed into his body.

Richard’s aura instantly returned to its peak condition. And all the skills on cooldown refreshed.

Every time he leveled up, this would reinforce his rudimentary attributes. The benefits of leveling up were palpable, although it wouldn’t show.

And the higher his potential was, the more ridiculous the upgrade would be.

As a glorious level, Richard’s upgrade was much more than others…

Feeling the power surge in his body, he took a deep breath, and excitement rose in his eyes.

He had finally leveled up…

The higher the level, the lower the experience points gained from killing low-level troops.

Now that he had toppled down a group of glory-level and crown-level troops, the rewards were enormously exaggerated.
