Chapter 496: Rushing to the City Wall
In a siege, not long after the battle began, the besieging party climbed onto the city wall. This kind of case is quite rare in the entire history.

Originally, the Enwei Demon Kingdom army estimated that the city walls alone could hold off Viola for at least half a month, so they prepared a large number of rolling stones and wooden beams in advance for use in defending the city.

Now it’s all in vain.

It was raining heavily, which was actually disadvantageous for the attackers. Not only did they have to run to the bottom of the city wall in the rain, but they also had to climb up under the raindrops, which consumed much more physical energy than normal.

But this heavy rain came so coincidentally and accurately cooled down the red-hot city walls. It seemed like it was intentional.

The good news is that despite the large amount of smoke, at least people can get on the city wall. The officers quickly ordered the soldiers to go up and stop Viola's army, and the two sides fought around the city wall.

Bad news...

That is, no one knows when a light will light up on their head. If the previous operation is repeated again, or a few more times, the city wall will be difficult to destroy.

The general who was watching the city wall closely felt a shock under his feet, which was an even worse feeling.

Sure enough, when he looked down through the window of the high tower, he saw Viola's soldiers smashing the city gate with engineering hammers.

The City of Silver has no moat. Although there are rivers around the city that can provide irrigation and water transportation needs, the royal family of Avarus in all generations has never ordered the excavation of rivers.

One of the important reasons was that the moat was too ugly, and the royal family of Avarus did not think that the enemy would directly attack the capital.

In order to deal with Viola's attack, the Enwei Demon Kingdom's army certainly made as much preparation as possible, but digging a moat was a big project, and they did not expect that Viola's soldiers would start attacking the city gate so quickly.

The secret compartment baffles near the city gate were opened, and the soldiers of the Enwei Demon Kingdom army threw down stones or shot crossbows, trying to prevent Viola's army from breaking down the gate.

A large number of soldiers were also carrying sandbags behind the gate, trying to block it.

To be honest, the gate of the Silver City is very solid and is said to be enchanted. Even if you use a powerful magic that can destroy an army to blast it open, it may not be able to be blown open.

The soldiers were holding battering rams, and they could not break the gate open even if they hammered at it for a whole day.

The general felt a little relieved, but at this moment a dazzling white light burst out from the direction of the city gate, and the general's heart rose to his throat again.

--hold head high!

With a terrifying roar, a white dragon appeared under the city gate. The defenders' crossbows could not even tickle its scales. To deal with a dragon effectively, one needs a crossbow and special dragon-killing arrows, but it is too late to call in the crossbow now.
Don't forget that the crossbows and catapults on the city walls were basically burned to ashes.

The white dragon Rhaena had been hiding among the soldiers until she approached the city gate, when she revealed her true form, for fear of being attacked by the crossbows on the city wall.

This is when she shows her power.

She grabbed the siege hammer in the soldier's hand. The siege hammer that required more than ten or twenty people to carry was like a long stick in Bai Long's hand. She used the end reinforced with an iron hoop to hit the city gate hard.

The physical strength of a dragon is far beyond that of a mortal. This blow was more effective than a dozen hits by soldiers. The violent shaking almost caused the general who was standing on a high tower overlooking the entire battlefield to fall down. The staff officer beside him hurriedly supported him.

The dragon is indeed very strong, but the enchanted city gate is not just for show. Even for a dragon, it is not easy to break it open.

At least we can hold on for now, but we must get rid of the siege troops surrounding the city gate as soon as possible.

On the other side of the battlefield, Viola rode on her horse, looking at the battle in the distance with some displeasure. She was the one who led the charge when the battle started, but when the real fight started, she hid behind the soldiers, which made her feel like she was chickening out.

But in fact, it was not Viola who retreated, but Zora who pulled her back.

She is the only direct descendant of the Avarus royal family, so no accidents can happen.

But this princess was the type who would really take things seriously. Zora and the guards had to work hard to pull Viola back, and they even tied two ropes around her waist, for fear that she would suddenly run away again while the guards were distracted.

"Leave the command to Wendy, don't stop me."

"Your Highness, can you just stay here and be quiet?"

Wendy was able to disband and reorganize the armies brought by more than a dozen lords in just a few days. Her work ability is indeed worthy of the title of military advisor.

But for a military commander to personally lead the troops and leave all matters to the military advisor, aren't you being too brave?

"The Lord is watching me. He gave me divine power so that I can lead the troops."

"I think the Lord gave you divine power because he was afraid that you might get into an accident if you rushed too far forward..."

No matter what, Zora must not let go, otherwise the princess will rush into the enemy camp in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, a low horn sounded from the left. Viola picked up the telescope and saw clearly that nearly twenty war elephants were staggering over from the left, as if they were going to launch a charge and block the attacking force's advance route from the side.

The Enwei Demon Kingdom is very good at taming monsters, and there are many strange creatures in their army.

But it must be said that a war elephant more than ten meters tall, combined with the archers on its back, is a mobile fortress. Even with nearly twenty war elephants, they don't need to attack much. As long as they rush over, they will cause huge casualties to the soldiers who are charging in dense formations.

It should be said that it is a good thing that there are only twenty of them. It is not easy to raise these things, and the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army cannot raise too many.

The task of command has been completely handed over to Wendy, and Wendy has of course also received the news that the war elephant troops are approaching.

This time, the sound of the departure horn came from Viola's camp. A group of cavalrymen holding extra-long lances rode to the left, trying to stop the war elephant troops.

Many of them are Viola's personal knights, and some are professional priests of the Demon King Cult. During the charge, one can see the auras of various divine arts flashing continuously, wrapping this cavalry team in all kinds of colors and adding a lot of buffs.

Viola was about to spur her horse to catch up, but was immediately stopped by Zora.

"Your Highness, please don't join in the fun!"

Zora felt so tired. Usually, everything was fine with her, but once on the battlefield, Viola was like a husky. If she didn't like it, she would just let go.

Although the war elephants are strong, their numbers are small, and harassment by cavalry is enough to hold them back.

Of course, the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army is also aware of this.

Along with the mournful cries of eagles, Viola saw through the telescope a group of birds with colorful feathers, larger than horses, taking off from the Silver City.

"As expected, they are here. They are the Dragon Eagle Knights."
