Chapter 614: [ War (3) ]
“Javelin throwers, archers, prepare!”
With Elena’s shout, over 500 javelin throwers and a thousand archers immediately readied.
The javelin troops that Norse God City; Asgard had trained were specially formed to deal with heavy infantry phalanxes.
Their javelins could pierce through a palm-thick shield, and against these flying beasts, only a javelin would be able to threaten the large destructive ones. In addition, usually arrows were too light to use against these monsters, and it would hardly damage them.
But if only this was in the Mortal Realm—these people are the God Descendants and High Humans, there weapons and powers and abilities could decimate a dozen monsters in an instant!
As the vicious monsters and demonic beasts entered into firing range, which was almost a miles away, a messenger raised the signal flag, and all the soldiers and warriors fired together!
Woooshhh…!!
Whiz whiz whiz!
Whiz whiz whiz!
Whiz whiz whiz!
With the whistling sound of splitting the air, sharp javelins and arrows shot up like a hurricane.
Many of the airborne vicious beasts were pierced with arrows, some were pierced in the head and neck, killing them instantly, and there were also some fortunate monsters and vicious beasts that were just wounded in multiple areas but even still, they were falling from the air.
Falling from several hundred feet, they were instantly splattered to death upon reaching the ground. There was no need for the people to rush forward and finish them off.
At that moment, of the several hundred vicious beasts, dozens of them had died in a flash. However, these were just the lowest-level vicious beasts. There were about a dozen third-level vicious beasts with strength equal to a normal Emperor Rank level High Humans among them that were still unscathed.
Moreover, after this volley, the vicious beast group had already reached a few dozen meters away from the City Wall.
Although the flames were engulfing many monsters and beasts, there were still some of the more powerful 3rd and 4th rank monsters that managed to charge up through the walls of flames. The experts of various families also immediately charged with swords in their hands.
Roooooooooar!!!
“—evil creatures, you dare taint our home with those filthy claws?!!” several people shot towards the air and spread their arms wide. “…Burn to death as a punishment!!!”
Wiiiiing!!!! Several Elders started their attacks and the monsters and beasts that had almost reached the City Walls immediately exploded, forming a sea of flames in an instant.
Those flying beasts started to burn and fell down from the sky, creating a mass of heated flames, involving the other beasts and monsters on the ground.
The demon beasts that were charging at the front line suddenly roared miserably within the sea of flames, they were extremely unlucky to be involved by those falling from the sky, resembling that of meteors.
The fire spread, immediately engulfing hundreds of monsters almost a mile away from the City Wall.
Most of the monsters and beasts are afraid of fire. However, ordinary flames are absolutely impossible to cause any burns on the body of these monsters. But this was the power of a mighty God Clan, this was not just ordinary flames…!
The blazing heat is not something an ordinary cold or metals can extinguish or block.
With the monster horde advancing rapidly, the frontline of these vicious beasts was unable to stop at all. They were pushed, one after another, into the sea of flames, causing the flame to be even more intense.
In just a few moments, the corpses of these monsters stacked on top of each other, forming a huge mountain of flaming corpses. In just an instant, several hundred and almost reaching a thousand monsters were dead!
Seeing this, most of the people instantly cheered and cried for joy.
Their morals instantly rose up higher.
They can do this!!
The flames still haven’t died down and continued to burn even stronger as many monsters tried to cross over and were burned instead, turning into charcoal. However, there were also those who managed to cross over—most were high-level monsters, with powers of the third level and above.
This kind of power is not something they would fear.
Lightning.
Tornado.
Tidal Wave,
Flames.
Blizzard.
Landslide.
One by one, the warriors and experts started shooting their abilities one after another.
Amidst the torrent of arrows and javelins were destructive powers that destroyed hundreds and thousands of monsters in an instant. Small mountains and hills of monster corpses piled one after another and crater, deep and shallow appeared slowly, as smoke and fog veiled the entire surrounding.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
One of the youth stood on the city wall, facing the blowing cold wind and laughed, “This monster horde doesn’t seem to be anything much!”
Seeing the youth’s pleased expression, Mair, who was standing at the rear trying to conjure a spell, was instantly simply pissed off. Just a little earlier, they were whining and now, they are being complacent. She even thought of kicking these people down the wall.
Why don’t you fight and see for yourself…?!
Not anything much?
Would all the people here have such solemn expressions if they thought the same as you, you moron…!!
No one would think you are a mute if you don’t talk, you’re only gathering contempt on yourself by talking so much! Simply outrageous!!
Mair was about to explode at them, as a vein on her forehead couldn’t help but exploded seeing them talking and laughing like idiots, letting their guards down.
“…Don’t rejoice too soon. Of this million level Monster horde, we’ve only managed to destroy a fifth, or probably not even that much of them yet. Being complacent would only kill you!” Eerika muttered coldly.
“That’s right, you’re being too arrogant! Do you think this is only what the horde is capable of?!” Troy who was also standing beside, famed for being one of the top geniuses of the Clan along with Eerika and Mair muttered, frowning. He was also displeased and a bit annoyed at these insensitive arrogant people.
“Ah, eh…ha ha ha,”
The youth who said that immediately unable to say anything and just scratched the back of his head in an awkward manner. The rest also immediately closed their mouth and shut up.
"Alright, shut up all of you. Before we participate in the battle, nobody talks! Whoever speaks first will have to be punished later in the Clan. The second time you speak will get you twice the punishment you will get!" Once the middle-aged man said that, all of the younglings no longer dared to speak a word.
However, just what others expected, everything started to get serious and this kind of attack pattern didn’t last long.
After a few hours of constant shooting of magic of destructive power and killing almost thousands and thousands of monsters in a flash, most veteran immediately stops their actions, followed by the younger groups, as they pulled their weapons instead.
Shooting magic abilities is not limitless and would only consume their power and stamina in an instant. Although they are confident that they could last for days, who knows how long this will continue…?
It’s better to preserve more power for the time being for caution…!
And this was also realized by many people.
And so, the group was divided into several groups, one for taking care of people afterward, one for range attacks and lastly, one for melee combats!
Those with an enormous amount of magic power focused themselves in launching magic spells and supporting the melee combatants, those who are confident in their close combat ability!
Cryaaaaahhhh—!!!
Creeeeeaaaakkk—!!!
Shreeeyyaaaahhh—!!!
At this moment, several flying monsters had finally reached the City Wall. Their eyes glittered the moment they saw the people standing at the top of the city wall and immediately swooped down.
“Hmph! Come down to me!”
A snorting sound echoed as Eric stomped on the ground and his body shot towards the sky. His golden sword slashed down, immediately slicing off a neck of the blue-eyed falcon beast, instantly killing it. But it was not the end, his body twirled in the sky, accompanied by lightning bolts; he attacked the other flying monsters, either killing them by cutting their heads off or electrocuting them to death by sending volleys of lightning bolts and shockwave!
Cawww—!!!
One of the flying beasts issued a keening wail as it fell from the sky, landing in a circle of soldiers where it was stabbed to death.
“Your Majesty, good job!”
“With his Majesty, who will we fear…?!!”
The soldiers and warriors issued a volley of cheers. Eric’s action and display of power caused the force’s morale to rise to the heavens!
“Fierce!”
“Truly worthy of the title Norse God of War!!”
“Brothers, what are you waiting for, kill ‘em all!”
The soldiers’ cheers were thunderous. For a time, javelins, arrows, and spears all stabbed into vicious beasts!
Cold metal shined, blood rained like a spring shower, the masters of the Norse Clan became the sword and saber of the entire army. But, their power also attracted the attention of the other three third-level vicious beasts.
These vicious beasts began to veer towards the expert masters.
… …
Third-level monsters could also be divided into the strong and the weak. The strength of third-level monsters could range from middle Emperor Rank to the peak Emperor Level, almost approaching the Lesser Deity level.
The group of blue-eyed Falcon Beasts that was cut down by Eric’s sword had been at the average of the third-level vicious beasts, and its strength was only equal to middle to peak Emperor Level.
And in an instant, over tens of dozens of third-level flying beasts shot towards the City Wall together. Most of the High Human soldiers with Emperor level strength were immediately overwhelmed. Fortunately, there were also numerous experts in the Clan and immediately settled the commotion.
But this was just the beginning.
There was once again a huge pile of darkness in the not so far distance. There were even the infamous rank 3 beasts such as the Purple Flaming Bird, the Blood Crow, the Rainbow Vultures, The Metallic Feathered Flamingos; the rank 4 beasts, double-headed Bird, Four Claw Eagle, Flying Gecko; and rank 5 beasts like Ghost Hawk, Wing Wolf, Flying Ghost Serpent… there were endless different kinds of demonic beasts, and every single one of them had the power to tear every Emperor Realm apart. This is the true beginning of the War…!!
Without any hesitation, Eric and the others immediately jumped from the top of the City Wall and rushed towards the incoming monster horde, followed by their deafening war cries that intimidated the monsters up front, causing them to halt their advances.
They then began their killing…!
Before the monsters landed on the ground, Eric and the other veteran experts started killing them. A golden sword appeared, he pointed his sword in the air, and countless aero blades were formed and sliced towards the monsters.
Dozens to hundreds of monsters were cut in half by the aero blades as if they were pieces of papers. The aero blades didn’t just disappear after cutting two or three instead, it cuts a single line until it disappeared into the horizon.
If one had a mini-map just like those in online games, surely, they would see a large long red line appearing amidst the horde of monsters!
Incredulous and completely over-powered!
Boom!! Flames were soaring into the skies. Flames engulfed countless monsters and vicious beasts. The area below the city wall has already turned into a sea of flames with the monsters and beasts frantically roaring. The scene was simply hellish.
In mid-air, Elena had been killing the monsters with unbelievable precision and rapid pace that in just a few minutes she had already killed over a hundred monsters as well.
Although, Elena herself had no idea how many monsters she had already killed but she didn’t care and continued on, only killing and surviving inside her mind.
Back at the top of City Wall, it was their first time seeing such a fight at such a close distance, they looked like weapons that would never run out of ammo and has a rapid killing rate…!!
Even the old and aged people seemed to have reverted into their youths as they were even more vigorous than young people in moving and killing monsters. They were truly killing machines on the battlefield!
Cryyyyaaaaahhhh—!!
A giant Crow howled. Its strength was equal to a lesser Deity, and it wanted to directly tear a hole through the City Barrier. However, just as it picked up its speed, hundreds and thousands of golden light beams shot forwards.
These azure light beams converged on a single target, sinking directly into the Blood Crow’s body.
Peng!!! With a muffled sound, the giant Crow trembled, and then blood spurted out from its head. It tumbled down from the sky, but because it was too fast and the inertia from falling a hundred feet was too great, a pile of monsters and beasts on the ground were knocked away.
The other people hurriedly came to support but found that both of the giant Crow’s eyes had already exploded, and chunks of internal organs were spewing forth from its beak. It was long dead.
The truth was, at that moment when the golden light beams had struck it, its internal organs had all been instantly torn apart precisely as if all the light beams were attracted on their target. They then exploded within the body of the monster, causing the poor bird’s death!
