Chapter 68: The Defense Battle of the City Wall (Revised)

After finishing all the preparations, Domiya promptly activated the gigantic magic circle.

The enormous magic circle glowed with blue magical light, radiating a massive aura of magic power, drawing in the surrounding magical elements.

The sudden transformation of magical elements in the air and the peculiar sounds it brought immediately caught the attention of many creatures.

The human army, who had witnessed such sights before, instantly changed their expressions.

Wasn’t such powerful magic supposed to be gone? How has it reappeared!

This was merely biased assumptions from some humans.

They thought, since they weren’t attacked by war magic while capturing the landing point of Silnas Island, the elves had lost the ability to use such war magic to stop them.

Now, the reality laid out before them thoroughly shattered their fantasies.

However, there were some who were quite pleased and excited.

These were the very few magicians.

They didn’t think too much about it; they simply wanted to study the gigantic magic circle.

The previous massive magic circle had been destroyed by the elves, preventing them from conducting in-depth research, so they could only speculate and slowly attempt to explore. Now that another gigantic magic circle had appeared, they were eager to uncover its secrets.

The elves, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

Primarily, there was little they could do in such an extreme situation.

The human catapult troops were severely suppressing them.

Most elves were huddled in corners, afraid to show their heads.

Once enough magical elements had gathered, Domiya began organizing the mages to unleash powerful war magic.

Outside the fortress, under a sky filled with dark clouds.

With a deafening clap of thunder, several enormous lightning orbs shot down from the sky, targeting those human catapults.

The human soldiers near the catapults reacted, but faced with the rapidly approaching lightning orbs, they could only watch helplessly as they were engulfed.

As the lightning orbs dispersed and exploded, the resulting electrical currents enveloped all the catapults.

After a wave of explosions, the human catapults were obliterated, reduced to charred remains, taking many soldiers with them.

The human offensive came to a halt.

The soldiers in front of the explosion area were unsure whether to advance or not.

Without their rear cover, they felt extremely uncertain.

The soldiers behind the explosion area, having witnessed the recent events, were left in stunned silence.

Observing the reactions of those around him, Suratu maintained his composure and spoke to Victor beside him: “Your Highness, let the army continue the attack! Elven magic cannot be continuously unleashed.”

His voice snapped Victor back to reality.

“Attack! Continue the assault!”

With his mind back in focus, Victor shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a resounding horn sounded from the human troops.

Hearing the horn, the human siege troops began to push the siege ladders closer to the city wall of Silnas Fortress.

Simultaneously, other siege ladders that had been idle suddenly sprang into action, moving towards Silnas Fortress.

With the catapults no longer a threat, the elven soldiers dared to poke their heads out.

Airael was no different.

However, she discreetly stole a glance at Hela’s chest.

Though she already knew Hela had a good figure, she realized she had underestimated her.

Just now, as Hela had buried her in her bosom, Airael discovered just how impressive Hela really was.

That soft sensation was truly unforgettable for a moment.

So soft! So big!

Realizing what she was thinking, Airael instantly blushed.

Now certainly was not the time for such thoughts.

Not to mention, thinking it was useless.

Now that she had lost her tools, even if she wanted to do something, her hands were tied.

Plus, she had to be careful not to accidentally get eaten.

Airael’s unusual behavior did not attract Hela’s attention.

Like the other elves, Hela’s focus was solely on the human army outside the city.

Although the recent powerful magic had wiped out the human catapults, the human army itself had not suffered much damage.

At this moment, the densely packed human soldiers were surging towards them.

And now, they could no longer use such powerful magic to clear the field.

“Defend! Prepare for defense!”

“All elves, quickly return to your original positions!”

Immediately, Love’s loud voice rang out along the city wall.

The elves quickly began to mobilize.

With the threat of the catapults gone, they could now fight back vigorously.

Once the elves returned to their positions, the elven soldiers launched their first wave of counterattack.

“Archers, fire!”

At Love’s command, the elven archers shot their arrows at the human soldiers pushing the siege ladders.

If they couldn’t destroy the siege ladders, they would take out the soldiers pushing them.

However, the human soldiers were not to be underestimated.

After being caught off guard at first, they quickly rallied some soldiers to raise their shields to block the elven arrows.

This, however, had the cost of slowing down the pace of the siege ladders.

Seeing this, Victor didn’t hesitate and waved his hand to deploy a troop armed with large shields to charge forward.

This troop’s shields were quite special.

The shields were much larger than the soldiers themselves, making them cumbersome to hold up.

However, precisely because of such large shields, they were particularly effective against arrows.

With this troop’s support, the situation of the human soldiers in front greatly improved.

The gigantic shields were sufficient to block most arrows.

Not only that, these massive shields also had considerable resistance to magic.

With the help of the human mages, they could effectively withstand the elven magical attacks.

In this situation, the human siege ladders finally began to edge toward the city wall of Silnas Fortress.

As soon as they reached the wall, the human soldier at the top of the siege ladder pushed open the wooden plank in front.

The plank fell onto the city wall, forming a wooden bridge for the human soldiers to ascend.

The human soldiers immediately stepped onto the plank, charging towards the set-up elven soldiers.

And waiting for them were the elves who had long been prepared.

The archers aimed directly at areas not protected by their shields, like their legs.

With arrows piercing through their legs, many soldiers fell headfirst in pain, and some even dropped from dozens of meters up, meeting a tragic fate.

Nonetheless, human soldiers continued to surge from the lower levels upward, launching their attacks from high ground to the city wall.

The elven archers momentarily struggled to keep up, their bow-drawing speed unable to match the humans’ rapid assault.

For every row of human soldiers that fell, another fresh row continued to press forward against the elven soldiers.

Before long, many human soldiers charged from the siege ladders onto the city wall, engaging in close combat with the elven soldiers.
