With a loud bang, the black shell burst out of the barrel and smashed into the snow. In an instant, the white snow was stained with the color of soil and the smell of gunpowder. Following the impact of the explosion, it splashed out and turned into countless small shells, exploding everywhere.
As the shells flew in the air, the orcs in the front row estimated where they would land and dodged.
However, the artillery on the city wall assembled the Rose Empire's top technology, and its power and firing rate far exceeded that of ordinary cannons. Although many orcs reacted instantly and had skills to defend themselves, they were still caught up in the violent explosion.
However, the Wansheng army did not stop.
The orcs roared and howled, and collided with the heavy cavalry of the Rose Empire on the front battlefield.
The Rose magic troops on the wall used magic together, and in an instant, magic attacks composed of countless electric lights swept towards the attacking troops. The magicians behind the orc troops also used magic to counterattack.
Deadly fireworks bloomed in the sky above the two armies. If you were not careful, violent energy would fall from the sky and pierce your body.
The firepower of both sides was equal.
The Rose Empire's Benliang City garrison numbered 80,000, including about 5,000 magicians. The Wansheng Kingdom had a total of 110,000 soldiers left on the front battlefield, including about 8,000 magicians.
In terms of quantity, Wansheng Kingdom is even better.
However, the magicians of the Rose Empire had undergone unified and professional training and were well coordinated, which to a certain extent made up for the numerical disadvantage. They even gained a certain advantage by occupying the city walls and being in a commanding position.
The soldiers of Wansheng Kingdom suffered more "stray bullets". Even though the soldiers around them were injured one by one, the orc soldiers still charged forward to open up a path for their troops and strike hard at the Rose Empire that invaded their country.
"ha-"
A long howl sounded under the artillery fire. Seeing that the orc troops were close enough, under the leadership of Fred, the huge snowman breathed in big gulps of cold air into his lungs and used the [God Descending to Earth] skill.
The snowman's body suddenly grew larger, becoming as tall as a two-story villa, and his skin turned as white as snow.
“Retreat.”
Under Ulan's command, the Rose soldiers who had just fought with the orc soldiers retreated behind the tall snowman.
"[The Earth Rips Away]."
Fred raised his hands, clenched his fists, and smashed them down. The ground sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and cracks spread rapidly.
The orc vanguard that launched the attack was affected by the shock wave and was pushed back several meters. Their bodies became heavy, as if countless ghosts reached out from the cracked ground, grabbed their ankles, and wanted to drag them all into hell.
The other snowmen, whose bodies had grown larger, followed suit, beating the earth like drums.
The terrible roar was cleverly combined with the roar of the cannon to produce terrible music.
Countless orcs were struggling to move forward. The huge snowmen raised their arms and swept across the snowfield as if brushing off dust, sweeping out a large fan-shaped area in front of them.
The artillery company on the city wall seized this opportunity, aimed at the crowd, and fired shells one after another.
In an instant, the orcs' screams rang out one after another.
General Yi Tianwen, who was standing in the team, opened his folding fan, and the soldiers in front of him immediately made way for him.
The folding fan suddenly waved forward, and several green wind blades swept across the ice field, bringing with them the cold of winter and bombarding Fred one after another. However, Fred acted as if nothing had happened and used his strong chest muscles to take on Yi Tianwen's attack.
Yang Yu followed behind Dongmu as the second siege force. Through the panel, he could see Fred's attributes and status.
General Yi Tianwen only scraped off a little bit of Fred's skin without hurting his bones.
Snow Leopard General Bingquan led a troop, bypassed the snowman, and attacked the right side of Rose's right wing.
"[Piercing Thorn]!"
A flash of silver light flashed from the sharp tip of the spear, and Bingquan's spear was as powerful as a rainbow.
"[Unbreakable Fortress], [Skill Block]"
Riding a warhorse, Ulan brandished the knight's lance in his hand and faced Bingquan's attack.
The drill-like knight's spear collided with the slender but powerful spear, making a crisp metallic collision sound.
Neither of them gained the upper hand in this fight, so Bingquan immediately drew back his spear and used his next skill against Wulan.
To avoid the attack, Wulan simply jumped off the horse and fought with Bingquan.
"I was somewhat prepared, but I didn't expect it to be this tragic. I was completely trapped in a tough battle."
Riding on horses, Dongmu led his troops to the center of the battlefield.
"We and the Silver Fang tribe will hold back the Snowman troops, while the other troops will cover the team's advance. For now, put the attack on the city on hold and first try to kill as many humans as possible!"
There is no way to repel these armies first. Even if we succeed in capturing Benliang City, the troops will suffer heavy losses from the attacks of the armies and the snowmen.
The snowmen who have activated [Gods Descending to Earth] are all gods of war, and their every move can cause permanent changes to the battlefield.
There were no enemies in front of them, so several huge snowmen simply dug up mud from around them, rolled it into mud balls together with ice and snow, and threw it at low altitude like bowling balls.
The mud ball wrapped up other ice and snow on the ground and rolled bigger and bigger. Many orcs who were slow to react or were only concerned with avoiding the cannons were caught in it and became part of the snowball.
A shallow trench was formed where the snowmen dug out the soil. The troops of the Rose Empire fought along the trench and swung their swords at any Wansheng soldiers who tried to jump over the trench.
Jumping off the horse, Dongmu swung his fist, took a deep breath, and punched forward hard. A mud ball thrown at them by the snowman instantly broke into pieces.
The troops behind Dongmu did not slow down at all and continued to advance.
"Prioritize the survival of the troops, and then attack when the opportunity arises."
After giving a warning, Yang Yu took out He Meng from the mane on Lotkar's neck and stuffed it into the shield.
This time, He Meng stayed firmly between the gap between Yang Yu's arm and the shield, and did not try to climb out like before.
Intentionally or unintentionally, He Meng also felt the cruelty of war on the battlefield.
I originally thought that if I really encountered any difficulties, there would be no problem as long as I took action in time.
However, Yang Yu's growth really exceeded He Meng's imagination, and the enemies he faced became stronger and more bizarre.
He Meng is the princess of the Slime Kingdom. She has lived in the Slime Kingdom since she was a child. Only when she has nothing to do, she will stroll around the villages near the kingdom like strolling in the back garden.
She had never thought that she would leave the kingdom where she thrived in that way, let alone establish a contract with this man.
This less than a year of getting along has far exceeded all of He Meng's experiences in the Slime Kingdom in the past eight years.
Watching Yang Yu becoming more and more powerful, He Meng felt that his own status in the team was declining rapidly.
If this continues, it will really become a dispensable pet!
