Chapter 854 - 854 The Flesh and Blood Passage
854 The Flesh and Blood Passage
What the Golden Behemoth King wanted was to launch an endless wave of attacks so that the other party’s defense would reveal a flaw. At that time, the Kingdom of Dawn would be defeated.
Kobold and Werewolves retreated, leaving behind a large number of corpses.
Blood flowed like a river on the battlefield, and countless corpses piled up like mountains. The bones were used to form a bloody staircase below the city.
“Gnoll, charge! Attack the city!” The Gnoll race’s leader ordered.
Without any hesitation, the gnoll army charged forward. They carried spears on their backs and also held spears in their hands. Their bodies were agile as they quickly charged into the battlefield and rushed towards the city walls.
“Bow and arrow! Your target is the gnoll outside the city. Shoot at will! Fire!”
The soldiers on the city wall did not relax at all. After resisting the first wave of attacks, they immediately began to prepare for the second wave of attack.
Seeing that the gnoll was approaching, a dense rain of arrows was poured out again following the order.
The gnoll army was well-prepared. They had witnessed the power of the arrow rain. When they charged, the entire formation was extremely scattered, and the distance between them was very far.
Facing the endless rain of arrows, they held their weapons and ran wildly. At the same time, they wanted to rely on their agility and speed to rush out of the range of the rain of arrows. They kept waving their weapons to intercept the incoming arrows.
With the strength of these gnolls, they couldn’t escape unscathedly from such a dense rain of arrows. They could only make full use of their advantages and struggle crazily as if they were dancing in the rain of arrows.
From time to time, some gnolls would be pierced into hedgehogs and died.
However, this did not scare the gnolls. They continued to run wildly forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
Spears flew toward the city wall with great penetrative power. Even though the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn had golden shields, some of them were still killed instantly.
No matter how flexible the gnoll’s movements were, under the dense rain of arrows, they were still shot into hedgehogs as they got closer and closer. As long as there were any flaws in their movements, they would be pierced through immediately.
Relying on their movement techniques to charge into the army formation, they were certainly courting death.
It was useless even if there were many of them because the army had more arrows and more eyes. No one could escape from the dense attack.
The beast army was large in numbers, but they could not be compared to the Human Army in terms of discipline. Since the beginning of the battle, only those who could maintain their formation could kill.
Those who thought they could charge through the army with their strong movement techniques were all fools.
Once the army formation was formed, tens of thousands of arrows would be fired at the same time. No matter how strong one was, one could still be turned into a porcupine. Not to mention, the archers were all cultivators and all of whom were powerhouses. If they relied on their force to charge into the army formation, they were courting death. They would be like idiots.
“Charge!”
“Kill! Look at the strength of our Pig-headed Human race. I’ll let you know how reliable a true teammate is!”
A large number of Pig-headed Human race carried their sabers and charged forward like a tide.
The distance between the city wall and the ground had long been paved with countless corpses.
There was no longer a natural chasm between the two sides, and they could directly attack.
“Tauren, attack!”
At this moment, the Tauren army also moved out. Each of the muscular warriors with bull horns on their heads held a huge axe in one hand and a huge shield in the other.
The formation looked messy, but they were filled with a kind of barbaric violence aura that made people feel shocked.
The Taurens’ shields had clear totem carvings on them, which seemed to be the image of some kind of God of Demon. It was ancient and mysterious.
Dang dang dang…
The Runic Arrows struck the shield, producing a series of crisp sounds.
This was not an ordinary shield. It was a shield forged from powerful Black Tortoise Stone. Each side of the shield seemed to have the powerful defense of a Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise Shield was the best among all the divine weapons and magic treasures of the same grade. Its defense power was also the strongest.
The only flaw was that the Black Tortoise Shield was too heavy. Ordinary races could not use it at all.
Another thing was that the mineral lines of Black Tortoise Stone were very rare. Even if they were gathered together, the number of pieces of equipment that could be forged was still very limited.
The Tauren army could only gather this amount of Black Tortoise Shields with the help of the Orc Alliance Army.
From this, it could be seen how rare and precious the Black Tortoise Shield was.
However, there was a reason why it was precious. The defense of the Black Tortoise Shield could not be broken by transcendent divine weapons or magic treasures. They might even be split. Even legendary-grade magic treasures might not be able to easily break it.
This was the weapon that the Orc Alliance Army had specially prepared to deal with the crossbow of the Kingdom of Dawn, the Purgatory Divine Crossbow.
Under the defense of the Black Tortoise Shield, the armor-piercing arrow and the flaming arrow exploded. The flames that shot out were blocked by the shield, and the ice power formed by the shattered frost arrow could not freeze the shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
The Taurens brandished their shields and strode forward. Every step they took required them to withstand hundreds of thousands of arrows.
Although the Black Tortoise Shield could block the arrows, the power contained in the arrow would not disappear. Even though the Taurens had a strong physique, they still felt their arms go numb from the intense rain of arrows. Their bones and organs were shaking, and their stamina was being consumed very quickly.
If this continued, it wouldn’t take long for the shields to fly out of their hands even if they couldn’t be broken.
If they couldn’t hold the shields, they would be useless.
The Taurens’ physique was very strong. They withstood the arrow rain and strode forward. Whereas the gnolls began to gather behind the Taurens, using the Black Tortoise Shields to block the arrow rain. Spears streaked through the air like lightning to counterattack.
Countless fierce beasts charged at the city wall crazily. They followed the bloody stairs and wanted to kill their way up the city wall.
“Do you want to climb the city wall? What wishful thinking! Since that’s the case, I’ll devour the flesh and blood.”
Li Xiang had already noticed this flesh-and-blood passage. The reason why he left it was to give the Orc Alliance Army a false impression. At the same time, he didn’t expose the rule of the Great Wall of Iron Blood devouring blood and flesh.
At this moment, seeing that they had created a passage with the flesh and blood, he couldn’t help but sneer.
The corpses outside the city were piled up like the city walls, allowing the Orc Army to directly charge up the city walls. Devouring flesh and blood would make the Great Wall of Iron Blood’s length increase, the area it covered would increase, and the wall would become taller and longer. However, there would be more areas that needed to be defended, and more soldiers would be scattered. In any case, this was still much better than letting the Orc Army directly charge up the walls.
Moreover, the flesh and blood of the fierce beasts that had been devoured in the previous wave were almost digested by now. It was just the right time to start another wave.
The Great Wall of Iron Blood had an extremely high growth rate. The amount of flesh and blood it devoured was not the same every time. Instead, the amount of flesh and blood it devoured increased greatly as it grew.
