While he lost thought, the enemy troop surged forward again.

When Richard saw the enemy had indeed started to use the mechanical puppets to gather a large number of crossbowmen to suppress the soldiers on the city wall, Richard’s brows jumped.

“Mage troops, fire spell—cover fire!”

The enemy relied on the mechanical puppets to act as a cover, which meant that the entire area would be under attack.

Behind them, five squadrons of mages began to chant their spells.

After a while, hundreds of fireballs whizzed had marked a long trail of flames behind them.

‘Boom!’

The fireballs crashed onto the ground, causing flames to spread all over the place. The temperature suddenly increased.

Flames directly enveloped the troops behind the mechanical puppets.

The enemy still experienced pain under repeated damage even though magic shields protected them.

Once the war started, it would not end that easily.

The enemy’s offensive did not slow down because of this. Instead, it became increasingly aggressive.

These troops recruited from the high-level troop lairs charged fearlessly under the leadership of heroic units.

Elven archers, dwarven machines, human warriors, church priests… Various troops began to pour in that replaced the original pure human troops.

The explosive power of the various troop formation was mightier than that of a single troop.

The notably fatal arrow just now had its power reduced by more than half this moment.

The priest’s healing and courage halo made the warriors charging in front particularly heroic.

And the mechanical puppets began to construct siege ladders, which Richard made the geographical advantage smoothed out…

Half an hour after the battle began, the dwarven mechanical puppets completed the construction of siege ladders. The enemy’s troops could charge up the city wall as soon as they stepped out of the spatial gate.

Richard immediately deployed the archers on the city wall to the rear and formed a new arrow formation to launch a projectile attack.

At the same time, he used his Yellow Sand Control to continuously cover the puppet troop in front of him, trying his best to cause the collapse of the enemy’s siege weapons.

However, maintaining and repairing the city wall required tremendous magic energy points. And he could not spare too much energy to deal with all of this.

At level 8, he still did not have the strength to lead the direction of this 100,000 soldiers war.

He still had to rely on the Scarlet Council’s troops to fight head-on with the enemy.

“Flame Tomahawk Slash!”

Richard looked at his troops as a large group of human warriors climbed up the city wall.

Other than the heavy sword warriors, all the melee players had been put into his Tibetan Soldier Card, leaving only the coagulation sand archers and the undead soldiers to fight outside.

Among the players, no one could defeat Twilight City’s troops.

However, they are incomparable to those trained by these top-tier NPC forces.

He could only use long-range attacks to gain hunting points.

The only thing that made him regretful was that he could not count the Scarlet Council’s troop hunters’ enemies on his head.

Otherwise, with this 50,000 troops, he felt he could charge up to level 10 in one wave.

‘Kacha!’

Twenty-five tomahawks smashed under the city wall.

Countless fragments flew out, covering a diameter of 10 meters. It covered a diameter of 20 meters with scorching heat.

Even though the human warriors below were at level 14, heavy and stacked attacks still destroyed them…

The battle had not even lasted for an hour. As the defender, Richard had already lost a troop.

The attack of the Oath of Light faction had far exceeded his expectations.

It was a charge that did not care about the cost and did not care about casualties.

In addition, the top-tier battle forces constantly buff these troops with magic to increase their battle strength which caused him to be under more and more pressure.

12 o’clock at night.

The Third Princess revealed the aura left behind by the divine weapon for the seventh time.

The enemy’s attack had already reached its peak.

Almost every second, several troops would fall on the battlefield, and their lives were worthless at this moment.

The city wall was already rotten. The enemies could have broken this only line of defense long ago if not for his crazy repairs…

Three and a half hours into the war.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’

A large number of griffins, dragons, and pegasus covered in armor appeared from the space crack.

The Oath of Light launched its final attack after it sensed the weakness of the guards.

They could no longer endure this slow progress.

Not only the sky, but Richard could also clearly sense a group of strange giant beetles had tunneled into the ground through a spatial crack.

There was a depression in the abdomen of those giant beetles with spikes all over their bodies. And many human warriors were sitting inside.

It was a unique type of troop, the earth-drilling insects.

These giant beetle insects had left dozens of passages at the entrance. As long as the troop at the back entered them, they could enter the back of the city wall through the underground passage.

Richard’s expression became increasingly colder.

The enemy had already launched a triple attack from the sky, the ground, and the underground.

They madly strangled the severely attenuated Scarlet Council troops.

The situation gradually lost control and collapsed…

If he had been level 14, he might have been able to hold on for a few more hours.

However, to maintain the city walls from collapsing, he had used up enormous magic energy points, preventing him from taking any more actions.

A group of level 10-14 troops is still insignificant even if the number has already reached 10,000.

Although Beyond A-rank could deal with natural disaster-like damage, they still needed enough magic energy to support them.

By the time the fourth one disappeared, the situation was no longer salvageable.

Richard took a deep breath and held the magic crystal given to him by Knowles tightly in his hand.

There were still 80,000 magic energy points left inside…

A cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes gradually became arrogant.

Let everyone witness the descent of a natural disaster.

“Mir, tell all the troops to withdraw from the city wall!”

Covered in blood, Mir saw that the enemy troops swarmed in and knew they couldn’t complete their target of resisting the enemy troops for eight hours.

At this moment, he immediately carried out Richard’s orders.

He led the remaining troops and retreated while fighting.

When Richard saw the troops were leaving quickly, he waved his hand. And a sand-condensed chrysalis protected the Third Princess behind him.

He had already taken advantage of the time when Twilight City’s troop was free to take back the hidden weapon medallion. Hundreds of people could not even splash with such a tremendous battle.

The endless yellow sand glow on his body began to surge.

In an instant.

‘Rumble!’

The broken city wall crashed forward like an avalanche…

[Ding~ You have annihilated an elf warrior (crown-level) and obtained 1,000 points.]

[Ding…]

He could not hear the notification of obtaining points.

The next second, he looked at the ground.

Deep underground, the giant beetle burrow had already opened dozens of roads.

A large number of troops rushed in. They intend to circle and kill them.

A cold smile hung on his lips.

He pressed down with both hands.

The earth let out a muffled thunder-like sound.

The tunnels dug out by the earth-drilling insects collapsed.

The thick soil buried everyone.

[Ding~ You have killed a human heavy armored soldier (glorious-level). You have obtained 300 points.]

[Ding!]

At this moment, over a dozen of level 14 dragons swooped down, their throats burning with flames.

It was a dragon’s breath that could melt steel and burn down the city walls.

The target was Richard.

Richard smiled when he saw this scene.

He directly extracted 30,000 magic energy points from the magic crystal.

In an instant…

The collapsed city walls on the ground suddenly rose into the air, and a vast sandstorm whirled in an instant.

The sand on the city walls had become an indispensable killing tool that covered the sky.

It was crazy and violent.

‘Whooosh!’ Everyone heard the roar of the demon.

The sand hit their faces and made them feel pain.

[Ding~ You have hit sugar palm.]

The armor made a crisp collision sound. And the Scarlet Council soldiers who had fled far away saw a scene that shocked them.

An enormous sandstorm completely covered the 100-meter-wide space crack in front of them.

The troop that surged out could not escape even if they struggled.

Only the strong dragon could forcefully break free from the terrifying pulling force of the storm…

Just when they thought it was over.

‘Boom!’

The dragon’s breath had ignited the dry haystacks of autumn.

In an instant, the sandstorm ignited a flame that could melt steel.

It enveloped everyone within.

It didn’t differentiate between a friend and a foe.

Even if the Scarlet Council’s troops didn’t escape, they were all devoured at this moment.

‘Roar!’

Countless terrifying roars and screams pierced through the sandstorm.

Natural disaster!

The enemies were all suffocated to death.

Wind Song, the second player on the ranking board, had an extremely stiff expression.

He was paying close attention to this battle.

But in the blink of an eye, why did this guy’s points increase from 300,000 to 500,000…

Who can tell him what happened?
