Chapter 458: The Sudden Arrival of The Ferocious Birds
They weren’t afraid of death, but they died too quickly. They didn’t even fight and died among the crowd. It was almost worthless.
The Werewolf King roared from the back of the army, waving its stone shield to block the rain of arrows. The weapon in his hand smashed into the void, forcefully shattering the Rune Arrows.
The flames exploded and splattered everywhere, and lights flickered on the battlefield.
The Werewolf Army finally reacted. They took out their defensive equipment and placed them above their heads to block the Purgatory Divine Crossbows.
Unfortunately, even though the Purgatory Divine Crossbow had 12 arrows in a box and had extremely fast attack speed, its penetrating power would be greatly reduced if more than 300 meters away. They could only rely on the inferno fire to burn their enemies.
The main reason was that those Purgatory Divine Crossbows were all simplified versions. The materials used were not original, and their quality was only at B-Rank.
After all, to equip a three million-strong army with crossbows, the materials consumed were too great.
The Sky Workshop’s master craftsmen had racked their brains, selected many materials, and combined runes, magic, and modern technology to create the standard Purgatory Divine Crossbow.
After all, the true Purgatory Divine Crossbow was a piece of S-Rank equipment, and its power was extremely strong.
Previously, Li Xiang had only used 3000 Purgatory Divine Crossbows to deal with hundreds of thousands of enemies, killing them all.
However, the area they were defending was too large, and there were too many of them. They could only lower the quality to increase the quantity.
As such, when faced with the shields that the Werewolves had taken out, the power of the arrows was lower as they were slightly further away.
Fortunately, the Werewolves were indeed fast. As they got closer, the soldiers began to shoot freely. They chose armor-piercing arrows, which could easily penetrate the shields and armor of the Werewolves, and their damage increased rapidly.
Although the Werewolf Army was trying its best to block the rain of arrows, the position and the region they could move in were extremely limited. There was even lesser space for them to move. Even if they tried their best to block the rain of arrows, they could still not stop it completely.
The characteristic of the power contained in those arrows was different.
In the blink of an eye, Rune Arrows broke through shields, sabers, and spears that blocked the way and landed on the Werewolves’ bodies. Werewolves had tough skin and thick flesh. Their physical defense was extremely strong, and their recovery speed was fast. Some arrows that landed on their bodies were blocked by their muscles before they could penetrate too deep.
Fortunately, those arrows were all Rune Arrows. When they hit the target, the rune power also exploded.
They either exploded with a loud bang, blasting flesh and blood into a blur, or the ice power invaded their flesh and blood, freezing them.
The most important thing was that the arrows were too dense. Even though they tried their best to block the arrows, some foreign races were still hit by dozens of arrows, and their blood splashed everywhere. With dozens of arrows in their bodies, they barely survived with their strong recovery ability and life force.
It was just that their hedgehog-like appearances were too pathetic, too tragic, and too terrifying.
Even though the Werewolves were agile, they were still hit by the arrows one after another. Once they were hit, the arrows immediately pierced into their bodies. The powerful destructive power of the Rune Arrows destroyed their bodies madly. Some werewolves ‘bodies were torn into pieces by the destructive power of the arrows on the spot.
Just one wave of crossbow arrows had caused the Foreign Race Army to pay a terrible price, yet they had not been able to pose any threat to the North City.
The Foreign Race Army that had their movements restricted were like living targets in front of the Purgatory Divine Crossbows, dying one after another.
The dense rain of arrows made countless people who were watching feel shocked.
“If I were to face this rain of arrows, would I be able to survive?”
Many cultivators would subconsciously have that thought and immediately concluded.
In the face of such a rain of arrows, one would definitely die unless one had special magical powers or top-rank defensive equipment. Those were not common arrows but Rune Arrows.
The Rune Arrows’ destructive power was too strong. The rune power within them made it impossible to be safe just by intercepting them.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The crossbow arrows continued to shoot out, and the rain of arrows almost covered the sky.
The large number of Rune Arrows displayed a powerful destructive power.
However, that did not stop the Foreign Race Army from advancing. Instead, it made them even more determined to take down North City.
“Charge, charge, charge! Charge up the walls! Break through the city! Kill all the humans! Humans can only be our food!” The Werewolf King roared.
Its eyes were cold. Even though it saw the werewolves being killed one by one in front of the dense rain of arrows, it did not intend to retreat.
“Kill! If we kill our way in, the humans inside will be our food, and the women inside will be our playthings!” The other Werewolf leaders also roared in anger.
No matter how strong their bodies and recovery abilities were, they could only fall to the ground unwillingly under such a dense rain of arrows.
“They’re almost two hundred meters away!” Someone had been accurately calculating the approach of the foreign races.
Chirp-
Suddenly, a sharp cry came from the void in the distance.
The voice was filled with a king’s aura as it reverberated in the air.
“Look, what’s that thing in the sky over there?”
“Eh? Why does it look like a patch of dark clouds? But isn’t it moving a little too fast?”
“No, that’s not a dark cloud. It’s made up of countless ferocious birds. Hiss, there are too many of them, and almost half of the sky is covered. Why did so many ferocious birds suddenly appear here? It seems like they’re here to attack the Kingdom of Dawn?”
Those with good eyesight could tell from a distance that that was not a dark cloud but an illusion created by a huge flock of ferocious birds gathering. However, the aura that covered the sky still made many people tremble in fear!
That crushing momentum naturally exuded a suffocating aura.
It was like the dark clouds rolling before a storm, giving people the same psychological pressure.
The dark clouds only brought about a storm, while the ferocious birds would bring a rain of blood!
“I didn’t expect that we’d provoked so many enemies this time. Even ferocious birds have been attracted here and in such large numbers. They’re treating the Kingdom of Dawn as a pushover!”
Li Xiang’s expression darkened when he saw the situation in the distance.
Even eye demon didn’t notice the ferocious birds ‘presence earlier, and he didn’t expect them to show up at this moment.
He wouldn’t believe that it wasn’t a deliberate scheme. It was definitely an attack that had been planned for a long time!
