When the demonic beast army was less than a kilometer from the South City Wall, countless sharp arrows mixed with huge stones poured down from the city wall, flying towards the demonic beast army.
In a war of this magnitude, aiming was almost unnecessary in the early stages, and ranged weapons were the first to play their part.
Giant stones falling from the sky into the demonic beast horde easily crushed many, and arrows nearly a meter long effortlessly pierced through the chests of low-level demonic beasts as if tearing paper.
However, this overwhelmingly favorable situation was quickly curbed.
Over a dozen White-Haired Demonic Apes, three meters tall, leaped high from the demonic beast horde, swinging their arms in the air and shattering the hurled boulders.
After these Black Iron Six-Star demonic beasts landed, they let out roars, constantly beating their chests with their arms. Their eyes turned blood-red, their silvery-white fur became as black as ink, their muscles further expanded, and their height grew to nearly four meters.
White-Haired Demonic Ape’s skill, Demonic Transformation!
After Demonic Transformation, the White-Haired Demonic Ape was pitch black, with only its eyes gleaming with scarlet and brutality.
They casually grabbed smaller demonic beasts nearby, pulled their arms back, and transformed into throwers, flinging demonic beasts one by one towards the city wall.
In an instant, dozens of demonic beasts were tossed into the air.
The thrown demonic beasts crashed heavily against the city wall, some splattering into a bloody mess the moment they landed.
Countless blurred flesh and blood splattered onto the faces of the surrounding soldiers, and a pungent smell of blood instantly permeated the air, continuously assailing the Awakened's psychological defenses.
Not only that, the demonic beasts falling from the sky gradually posed a threat to the defenses on the city wall.
Watchtowers overturned, sparks flew, and several large ballistas were even destroyed by the falling demonic beasts.
Some demonic beasts had astonishing defenses and were still alive after landing, standing up and attacking the surrounding defenders.
Although they could not cause great destruction, they still harassed the defenders on the city wall.
While the White-Haired Demonic Apes continued to hurl “projectiles,” the demonic beast army below steadily advanced, now less than five hundred meters from the city wall.
Master Fran waved his hand, and the magic cannons roared into action.
The magic cannons had a limited number of shells; even the entire South City Wall only had four magic cannons and 30 shells.
They needed to be used to kill as many high-level demonic beasts above Black Iron Six-Star as possible, and to ensure success, they even waited until the demonic beast army was 500 meters from the city wall before firing.
Given Master Fran’s temper, if not for his Magic Lizard Clan subordinate constantly persuading him, he probably would have started cursing and ordered to fire the moment he saw demonic beasts being thrown onto the city wall.
In the first volley, four magic cannon shells streaked across the sky, trailing red and blue afterglows, then landed in the beast horde, instantly causing a huge explosion.
After the explosion, flames and ice cones erupted again at the point of impact, causing a second wave of attack.
Elemental shells!
Bai Ting and Yan Kuan were astonished, not expecting Obsidian Town to possess such a powerful weapon.
In this volley, four White-Haired Demonic Apes were severely wounded and fell, many Black Iron Five-Star demonic beasts were on the verge of death, and lower-level demonic beasts were directly annihilated.
Under the cannon bombardment, even the advancing pace of the demonic beast army paused involuntarily.
However, before the defenders on the city wall could rejoice, they discovered that the demonic beast army suddenly seemed to have sounded a “charge horn,” all bursting into full speed and rushing towards the South City Wall.
Now that they were closer, everyone could feel the momentum of the demonic beast army, with dust obscuring the sun and the ground trembling.
Another volley of magic cannons fired, but this time, no one cared about the outcome, because the vanguard of the demonic beast army had already reached the foot of the city wall.
Since the city wall was made of countless huge stones, many agile demonic beasts climbed up along the gaps between the stones.
Heavy rock beasts crashed into the city gate, letting out a loud bang.
The defenders on the city wall decisively acted, countless fireballs, wind blades, mixed with various colored arrows, flew towards the demonic beasts below the city wall.
The battle immediately entered its most intense state.
The demonic beasts that had already climbed onto the city wall were instantly torn into pieces by various elemental storms and arrows.
In just three minutes, various demonic beast bodily fluids, blood, shredded meat, broken bones, and severed limbs covered the area below the city wall, obscuring the defenders’ vision.
The giant stones of the city wall seemed like a massive meat grinder, instantly shredding countless demonic beasts. The shredded meat hung on the tips of the city stones, and was soon trampled underfoot by the subsequent demonic beasts.
Blood of various colors soaked the city wall.
The roars of demonic beasts, the crashing sounds of flesh and blood, and the shouts of the Awakeneds mingled together, forming this war machine that had already begun.
Chen Bugu stood on the wall, purple light flickering in his eyes. "Weakness Detection" and "Inference" were simultaneously activated, and his Bi Yu Wei Lan continuously shot elemental arrows of water and wood.
Currently, the demonic beasts rushing onto the city wall were all below Black Iron Five-Star. Chen Bugu could achieve a one-shot kill with every arrow.
No demonic beast had yet managed to reach the top of the section of the city wall where he was located.
As for Bai Ting and the others, Chen Bugu had them remain in the rear.
Compared to other races, the advantage of human Awakeneds was obvious: their various abilities.
However, these diverse abilities were also a limitation in certain situations.
Humans, unlike other races, do not possess physical advantages and innate abilities, so most humans excessively rely on their abilities, thereby ignoring the Three Regions.
When mental energy is exhausted, humans, whose Three Regions are inferior to other races, can easily fall into a passive state.
This is also why items that can enhance the Three Regions were so expensive in later generations.
At this moment, apart from Chen Bugu, the human Awakeneds were basically taking turns, as they needed to conserve mental energy for the upcoming close-quarters combat.
Sure enough, before long, the vast disparity in numbers eventually allowed many demonic beasts to rush onto the city wall.
The battle on the city wall thus completely commenced.
Chen Bugu looked at the demonic beasts surging from both sides, decisively retreated to join the others, and began shooting at the demonic beasts on the city wall.
Bai Ting’s electric blade had just sliced off a Cat Ape’s head, then he immediately swung it backward, narrowly forcing back a Blazing Mantis whose arms were covered in flames.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan stood together, Lin Lin had already equipped them with energy shields, and Cold Iron Darts swiftly flew through the air, continuously reaping the lives of demonic beasts.
As the battle entered this stage, the nervous expressions on everyone's faces had gradually disappeared, replaced by unparalleled solemnity.
Everyone was adapting to this battle, adapting to this battle where it was either you die or I die.
Just then, Han Badou’s anxious voice suddenly appeared in Chen Bugu’s mind.
“Chen Dage, below the city wall, there’s an Eight-Star demonic beast!”
