Chapter 1475: 70: Breaching the City
Capítulo 1475: Chapter 70: Breaching the City
On top of the city wall, Xiong Fang’s mercenary group was engaged in intense combat with Luo Jiuxiu’s Luo Tian Mercenary Corps.
Meanwhile, Lu Hong began to approach the underside of the city wall from the side.
A number of close combat warriors from the Luo Tian Mercenary Corps were furiously attacking the castle defenses below.
Lu Hong remained quietly on the side.
Waiting for a perfect timing.
An instant moment when castle defense’s health is at its lowest.
No reason other than Lu Hong mastering the warrior’s execution skill, a skill underestimated in the game, but in castle defense battles, used well, it’s a godly skill for breaching castles, requiring brilliant timing.
Yet almost no one can grasp this critical-strike opportunity.
However, Lu Hong, a professional at heart, still had some confidence.
In Sky Game, sieging involves mutual magic sharpshooting, and also reducing the castle defense’s durability to zero; once it reaches zero, the castle gate will break, allowing entry into the city.
The attacking side keeps reducing the castle defense durability, while the defending side needs specific Mages aligned with the castle defense elemental magic to channel magic power for repairs.
In this tug-of-war, the durability blood line of castle defense swings up and down like an elevator.
This durability hovers around Lu Hong’s execution line back and forth, thus Lu Hong focused intensely on the durability blood line, took a deep breath to calm his emotions and awaited the perfect moment.
As the battle came to a stalemate, it must be said, Xiong Fang, as the defender, had far more Mages than Luo Jiuxiu, gradually overwhelming in firepower.
Once the firepower is suppressed, the attacking warriors will be affected, becoming sitting ducks below the enemy city wall, losing the ability to attack the castle defense.
Thus, this siege war could be declared a defeat.
And the Luo Tian Mercenary Corps would fall to Bronze level due to this failure, and the cost of climbing back up would be immense.
“Hold the line, hold the line! Damn it, if the account gets wiped, I’ll reimburse you all, even if it means dying, bring down this wall today!” Luo Jiuxiu shouted angrily.
The subordinates, free from account and economic burdens, faced the opponent’s overwhelming firepower, they had no way to retaliate.
Just as the Luo Tian Mercenary Corps was on the brink of defeat, Lu Hong’s awaited opportunity finally arose.
Seeing the castle defense blood line nearing his execution value, Lu Hong immediately directed his execution skill towards the breach in the castle defenses.
The execution on the enemy unit wound creates secondary damage, inflicting heavy execution damage, instantly killing if the enemy unit’s health drops below this damage.
The execution strike landed heavily upon the breach in the castle defenses.
At that moment, the durability blood line of the castle defense hit the execution threshold.
In mere moments, the castle defense durability dropped to zero, the towering castle gate collapsed in a boom.
Both Luo Jiuxiu and Xiong Fang were caught off guard by this scene.
“What? How did the castle defense break?”
Xiong Fang’s head was full of questions.
And Luo Jiuxiu, without pondering much further, yelled at the top of his lungs: “Kill!”
Seeing the gate broke, members of the Luo Tian Mercenary Corps were energized as if injected with adrenaline, charging frantically into the city.
Now, it was Xiong Fang’s turn to panic: “Hold the line, hold the line!”
Once the gate collapses, repairing it takes tremendous time; if the attackers can be driven out, repair time is drastically reduced, giving Xiong Fang a chance to win if he can push out the Luo Tian Mercenary Corps members and commence repairs.
However, Xiong Fang brought more Mages this time, leaving few warriors. In close combat, the Mages can’t effectively suppress the warriors’ charge.
Within Luo Tian Mercenary Corps, a Holy Knight master wielded a colossal Magic Shield, erected a Holy Light Barrier, intercepting numerous attacks from Xiong Fang’s Mages, followed by assassins and other close combat classes flooding into the city, launching attacks on Xiong Fang’s mercenaries.
Lu Hong also wielded his sword, striding into the city.
A Flame Burst swooped out from the side, hurtling towards Lu Hong.
Lu Hong raised his sword and swatted, deflecting the Flame Burst aside, which landed in a nearby building.
Instantly, a roaring explosion ignited the whole house.
Since making merits, breaching the city was already remarkable, but Lu Hong aimed for the best, his gaze fixed on Xiong Fang jumping down from the city wall.
The opponent was a Magic Fighter, mastering at least Dual Elements and close combat prowess.
Yet Lu Hong, as the world champion, didn’t have the slightest fear.
As Xiong Fang descended, countless Luo Tian Mercenary Corps members focused on him, naturally wanting to take down Xiong Fang and earn merit before Luo Jiuxiu, without hesitation, they rushed forward.
Xiong Fang, also a top-notch expert, raised his sword, first repelling an incoming Holy Knight before sidestepping an assassin’s dagger, finally kicking a Hunter’s Demon Beast pet’s head, sending it flying hundreds of meters.
As Xiong Fang chanted magic, thunder clouds rolled above, moments later, violent thunder rumbled, crashing down from all directions.
Paralyzing dozens of attacking Luo Tian Mercenary Corps experts on the spot.
“Dammit!” Luo Jiuxiu who arrived, was red-eyed witnessing this, these dozen or so were the guild’s main force, unexpectedly, Xiong Fang had acquired a Mystical Scroll and just used it.
Lu Hong also saw Xiong Fang’s Thunder Skill introduction from his interface.
Ancient Secret Skill’s weakened version, released by reciting a broken Mystical Scroll, a single-use magic.
The effect of Thunder Skill is paralysis, absolute paralysis within a hundred meters radius, lasting three minutes.
Three minutes the Thunder Pool will remain, paralysis won’t fade.
And these three minutes are enough for Xiong Fang to kill the nearby Luo Tian Mercenary Corps experts.
Xiong Fang knew he lost this defense, but even in defeat, he’d bite a chunk off Luo Jiuxiu: “Luo Jiuxiu, though you’ve won this time, it’s at best a pyrrhic victory. Once I kill these guys, the ace of your Luo Tian Mercenary Corps would need rebuilding, which costs… tsk tsk.”
Speaking, Xiong Fang immediately moved, slashing at the nearest assassin with his weapon.
The assassin wore High-level Magic Equipment, with a utility bag packed with items at his waist, the loss in death would be enormous, years of effort all but gone.
Watching Xiong Fang’s blade descend, the assassin’s eyes blazed red, but being paralyzed, he couldn’t even curse.
With a head rolling, the assassin instantly turned into a phantom, disappearing from the place, simultaneously dropping a pile of items from his backpack.
Xiong Fang didn’t even glance at the dropped items, continuing towards the next person.
As he finished off these Luo Tian Mercenary Corps experts, utilizing his superior combat techniques, Xiong Fang had a good chance to escape.
If he didn’t use the Mystical Scroll against these Luo Tian Mercenary Corps experts, he’d definitely be killed, and upon death, the scroll would either drop or disappear, so it’s better to use it, saving his life, more rewarding.
Luo Jiuxiu led Mages to relentlessly attack the hundred meters radius Thunder Pool, but all magic entering the pool was automatically neutralized by the thunder, entirely unable to affect Xiong Fang.
At this moment, Lu Hong acted, though this account was bought by Luo Jiuxiu, he verifiably learned all the warrior skills, otherwise it wouldn’t be worth tens of thousands.
Among these skills, naturally, including Heavenly God Descent, absolute Magic Immunity.
Due to the warrior class being at the bottom, the Luo Tian Mercenary Corps relied on skills for survival, so there was truly no bottom-tier warriors, except Lu Hong.
In the next moment, a grayish thunder descended, Lu Hong’s character body lifted higher, resembling a Barbaric Bull charging into the Thunder Pool.
With Magic Immunity’s blessing, the thunders avoided Lu Hong one after another.
Seeing Lu Hong charging into the Thunder Pool, Xiong Fang was swift, swung his sword horizontally, slashing at Lu Hong.
Lu Hong tilted his sword to deflect Xiong Fang’s attack aside, then kicked Xiong Fang’s abdomen who couldn’t react in time.
Sending him flying several meters away.
