Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 743: Chapter 493: Fortress Defense Battle (Part 3)_2

Before the Saint Night Army under the fortress could react, accompanied by deafening explosions, one after another raging fire blazed, already exploding wildly around them!

In the blink of an eye, the densely packed Saint Night Army camp looked as if it had suddenly bloomed with a series of giant orange-red death flowers, illuminating the area below the fortress like daylight. The scene was truly shocking.

Under the powerful force of the Tier 2 Magic Cannons, these small Saint Night Army turtle shell formations were instantly blown to pieces.

Caught off guard by the huge waves of air tumbling one after another, many heavy infantrymen were swept into the air along with their shields and then struggled to fall into the flames below.

As for the longbowmen in light armor and mages in robes, their losses were even more devastating in an instant.

Even if they narrowly escaped the bombardment, many of them were killed in the ensuing rain of arrows.

Ultimately, under the flickering firelight, their enlarged pupils reflected a mixture of astonishment and fear.

These soldiers, who were just preparing to set up magic cannons and try to turn the entire fortress into purgatory, never expected this outcome.

In the end, it was their side that became the first target of the enemy’s hunt.

From above the fortress, looking down at this scene, Leo Ray, who was hiding in the arrow tower, nodded slightly.

At this moment, the formations of the two long-range Saint Night Army legions were already in disarray, launching only sporadic counterattacks. This was just the power of their own hundred Tier 2 Magic Cannons.

Following Lord White’s command, the second round of a hundred Tier 2 Magic Cannons began roaring once again.

This time, accompanied by clusters of flames symbolizing death, they surged towards the sky once more.

In the midst of the chaos, many Saint Night Army mages, on instinct, cast their best magic shields, attempting to block the magic cannon attacks.

However, compared to large-scale defensive barriers, these hastily cast individual magic shields were obviously unable to resist the fierce, scorching cannon fire.

Apart from a small number of mages with slightly stronger power, most mages ended up shattering their shields and dying.

Either they were directly blown away or they were turned into porcupines by the countless arrows raining down on them.

For a time, many front-line soldiers who had lost their commanders were like headless flies, trampling on corpses and flames as they unconsciously retreated towards the depression.

Subsequently, they violently collided with the soldiers behind them who were prepared to counterattack, making the whole scene extremely chaotic.

At this point, the formations of the two legions under the fortress had nearly been completely disrupted, scattered like sand.

Sighting this, Leo Ray’s gaze shifted and landed on a Saint Night Army formation at the middle and rear positions.

Here, the formation was more disciplined, with magic flow lights flickering, obviously covered by a small defensive barrier.

And from the edge of the formation, where there were also gaps, it was undoubtedly another buffering magic barrier.

“It seems that’s where the commander is located,” Leo Ray concluded, nodding slightly. To thoroughly disable the combat capabilities of these two legions, erasing their central command system was undoubtedly a crucial task.

“General White, pause the magic cannon fire and let the archers target the front of the enemy’s command formation. It’s time for us to deliver a deadly blow to the throats of these two legions,” Leo Ray ordered, nodding at General White not far away.

Under the fortress, amidst the chaotic battlefield, the Mage Commander in the central position of the command formation shook off the dust from his body and couldn’t help but spit.

If it weren’t for his prowess as a Fourth-Tier Great Mage, promptly casting his best shield magic and having the protection of the buffer barrier, the command formation he was in would have crumbled.

At this moment, seeing the demoralized soldiers around him, the Mage Commander didn’t have time to regret or question and immediately shouted, “Supervising War Team and Imperial Guards, charge! Execute any deserters without mercy!”

Hearing the command, the elite soldiers in the formation immediately sprang into action, having already lost more than half of their numbers.

Then, the Mage Commander signaled the messenger beside him to raise the flag while continuing, “We still have the advantage in terms of military power. Reorganize the formation immediately and concentrate our superior forces to counterattack!”

As he said this, the Mage Commander shouted, “The first team to break through the fortress gate will be rewarded with 2000 gold coins each and granted noble titles! Kill them for me!”

“Yes, General!”At the sound, the surrounding soldiers instantly regained their morale, quickly reassembling their ranks, the panic-stricken eyes once again filled with icy murderous intent.

“Huff… Those bastards from Coldflame, I will annihilate you all!”

As the Mage Commander secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unbeknownst to him, a sharp blade had already pierced through his back and into his chest.

The next second, the blade was pulled out, along with a splash of crimson blood.

A petite, blurred figure, like a ghost, instantly disappeared.

A moment later, the remaining guards around the Mage Commander could not believe their eyes.

Their general had already fallen, face in shock, in a pool of blood, lifeless.

“My Lord, the enemy commander has been eliminated by your subordinate!”

From atop the fortress, Stella Clark’s clear voice reached Leo Ray’s ears.

“My Lord, I have also shot down several other captains in the back row, the enemy’s central command system is almost completely paralyzed!”

Immediately after, Serena Clark’s brisk voice quickly followed.

“Very well, quickly withdraw from the battlefield.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After closing the mind talk, Leo Ray nodded slightly at Lord White not far away.

The next second, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Except for the two hundred magic cannons that were cooling, the remaining one hundred fell on the Holy Night Army Camp below the fortress for the third time.

This time, amidst flying debris and rising flames.

The Saint Night Army, who had just regained some morale, were once again bombarded and knocked off their feet, even the newly arrived Supervising War Team and Imperial Guards were more than half dead or injured.

Following that, the remaining Saint Night Army, completely without their commander, immediately began an unstoppable, full-scale retreat.

Naturally, what greeted them was a new round of magic cannon attacks that had just finished cooling.

Since the range of these fire-type magic cannons was quite extensive.

Therefore, as long as the cannon fire covered the latter half of the area between the fortress and the depression, it could effectively block the enemy’s retreat route.

After a while, Leo Ray, standing atop the fortress, looked down at the battlefield enveloped in black smoke and the fleeing Saint Night soldiers like a tidal wave, and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

So far, everything was still under control.

Although they had not completely annihilated the two long-range legions, they had already eliminated most of them, with the remaining remnants having lost almost all their combat abilities and were barely clinging to life.

“That’s great! We’ve repelled the enemy’s attack!”

On the other side, an excited look appeared on Ariel Watson’s fair cheeks, saying to Leo Ray with delight: “Everything went exactly as you and General White predicted!”

“Of course.”

Giving Ariel a gentle smile, Leo Ray’s face regained its resolute composure.

Although everything went smoothly, the missing Holy Night Legion had still not yet been discovered.

As such, they still faced the apparent forces of four legions, plus one hidden legion.

“A force of over 50,000 still remains? It seems the real challenge has just begun.”

Realizing this, Leo Ray’s expression became solemn, and he could not help but take another deep breath of the acrid, burning air.
