Chapter 1044: Smoke Rises (V)
Because of the formations, it was difficult for the walls of the Northern Frontier Great Wall to bear any traces of the passage of time.
After the demons' blood splashed onto the walls, it began to flow continuously downward. From afar, it looked as though a waterfall had formed.
Except, the stench of blood was overwhelming.
Crossbow bolts were fired one after another, like a torrential downpour that never ceased.
Those crossbow bolts carrying terrifying power seemed as though they could never be exhausted, forming another line of defense atop the city wall.
Although those powerful demons were constantly drawing closer to the height of the city wall, not a single one had truly managed to reach the top.
In fact, even if a few of them were fortunate enough to make it onto the wall, the powerful cultivators stationed on the Northern Frontier Great Wall would immediately strike and kill them.
In truth, both sides understood very well that at this point, the demons were sacrificing lives to accomplish two things: one was to find weaknesses in the city's defenses, and the other, was simply to exhaust the bolts of the divine crossbows on the wall.
Leaving the first point aside, the second was actually very difficult. As soon as it became known that the demon race intended to move south with their entire race, the Great Liang Dynasty had attached the utmost importance to the Northern Frontier's defenses. The old Minister of Works had been hounded by Chen Chao into forging the Dragonblood Armor, but that was one of the Great Liang Dynasty's ultimate trump cards. Apart from that, the Ministry of Works had also been continuously producing ordinary military equipment, especially divine crossbow bolts. During this period alone, they had already manufactured one hundred thousand of them!
