Chapter 740: Chapter 492: Fortress Siege Battle (Part 2)_1
Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the Saint Night Army slowly approaching the fortress below.
Although the magic cannon was extremely powerful, its range was still limited. Moreover, the enemy’s use of a projectile trajectory further shortened this distance.
Therefore, the first thing the enemy needed to do was to let the magic cannons and archers enter the effective range before launching an attack on the fortress.
Since Leo Ray was currently in the arrow tower located at the very center of the fortress wall, he could clearly see everything.
“Your Excellency, just as we predicted, the enemy is indeed very cautious,”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lord White said to Leo Ray, watching the Saint Night Army’s long-range forces slowly advance under the cover of numerous heavy infantry with shields.
“Tsk, they’re like a bunch of turtles hiding their heads.”
Looking down at the formations of Saint Night Army shielded by their turtle shell formations, Ariel Watson couldn’t help but frown.
“Being so cautious while having a clear advantage in long-range power, the commanders of these two legions are obviously much stronger than that reckless fellow.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly and turned to the old general clad in white heavy armor next to him, “General White, let’s proceed as planned. I’ve already sent people to the designated location.”
“Understood, Your Excellency. Take care.”
General White nodded to Leo Ray before quickly leaving the arrow tower.
As for Ariel Watson, she remained by Leo Ray’s side.
At this point, Leo Ray could clearly feel it.
Facing the enormous and dense Saint Night Army below the city, Princess Cold Flame appeared calm on the surface, but her body was unconsciously trembling slightly.
For her, experiencing such a vast battlefield was undoubtedly a first.
“Beloved Fifth Princess, don’t be frightened when the cannons start firing later.”
Looking at Ariel Watson’s delicate and pale face, Leo Ray casually teased.
As for Leo Ray, who had experienced a border battlefield and several bloody encounters with the Half-Orc Corps before, this scene was thrilling, but not enough to scare him.
“Don’t look down on me. Although this is my first time on a real battlefield, the blood of the Hero King runs through my veins!”
Ariel Watson frowned and put her hands on her waist, “My Coldflame Royal Family is born to be the strongest warriors, just like my sister!”
“It’s also possible that your sister inherited too much warrior blood, and it’s already depleted by the time it reached you.”
Thinking about this amusedly in his heart, Leo Ray’s expression became solemn again.
The dense Saint Night Army below was getting closer and closer to the fortress.
Waves of magical power began to ripple from each of the turtle shell formations.
It seemed that the Saint Night Army’s mages were already charging the magic cannons while advancing.
For a moment, a wave of bone-chilling killing intent accompanied by a gust of cold wind suddenly enveloped the fortress, causing a shudder to run through everyone present.
War was imminent.
“Will our plan… go smoothly?”
After shivering, Ariel Watson steadied herself and subconsciously turned to Leo Ray.
“Don’t worry, everything is under control.”
Looking at the neatly arranged three teams of Coldflame soldiers around him, Leo Ray’s eyes were sharp, gesturing for Ariel Watson to be at ease.
In just a short while, at the bottom of the fortress,
The first batch of at least 50 Saint Night Army magic cannons that had just entered the firing range were already launching their attack without stopping, releasing multicolored magical glows!
In an instant, accompanied by an impressive display of magical power, thunderous roars resounded at the base of the fortress, creating an incredibly sensational spectacle.
Undoubtedly, combining the coverage of 50 magic cannons could envelop the entire front wall of the fortress!
In a flash, after following a ∩-shaped trajectory, each deadly, compressed spell roared from the sky toward the city wall above!
The next second, each semi-transparent Buffer Defense Barrier system was struck by the still spherical-looking lethal spells!
Instantly, waves of ripples began to spread and diffuse across the semi-transparent Buffer Barrier, like countless stones hitting the calm surface of a lake.
The Buffer Barrier greatly reduced the barrage of deadly spells in both speed and volatile magical power contained within.
However, this buffer-type defensive barrier could not fully block such powerful magic cannon strikes.
As one after another of the compressed spell orbs penetrated the barrier,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening explosions erupted above the fortress, right where Leo Ray and the Coldflame soldiers were!
These included giant fireballs that suddenly expanded, rapidly spreading wind blades, and countless exploding earth beads like grenades.
Looking at the turbulent magical power emanating from each explosion’s center,
Despite the reduced power due to the Buffer Barrier, these spells were still quite lethal.
Each deadly vortex was enough to instantly kill twenty or thirty unguarded Tier 1 soldiers!
