Chapter 964: Multiple Battles on Top of the City Walls
The human race and the demon race had been enemies for thousands of years. In the long years of the past, the two sides had fought countless great battles. The hatred between them had long since become irreconcilable.
On the rare occasions of peace talks, most of them were peace bought by the human race at an enormous cost. As for the demon race, if they did not wish to fight, they could simply withdraw from the desolate north. After all, throughout history, there had also been times when human armies rode across the Onan River and fought their way into the Demon Domain.
Therefore, this time, when the demon race attacked the city, the defending soldiers did not show the slightest panic.
At a command from the defending general, several divine crossbows atop the city wall were slowly drawn open. A mysterious and terrifying aura gradually gathered from all directions, concentrating onto the bolts of those massive ballistics, ready to be unleashed.
The divine crossbows had been Great Liang’s earliest defensive weapon on the city walls. It was precisely because of their existence that the Northern Frontier Great Wall had avoided being breached in its wars against the demon race. If these divine crossbows had not existed from the very beginning, then no matter how tall or sturdy the Northern Frontier Great Wall was, it would not have been able to hold.
Once the first round of divine crossbows was ready, at a wave of a deputy general’s hand, dozens of bolts carrying terrifying force shot out all at once, like streaking comets crashing into the demon army.
With thunderous booms, the bolts slammed into the demon ranks, instantly blasting many demons into minced flesh. Outside Pine Pavilion Pass, numerous enormous craters appeared.
However, after this round of volleys, the demon soldiers seized the moment before the second round of divine crossbows was ready and began to scale the city.
The divine crossbows on the wall were limited, but the soldiers stationed there continued to release wave after wave of arrows without pause. However, compared to the divine crossbows, the power of these arrow volleys was naturally far inferior.
