Chapter 49 The Allure of Numbers
"Three, two, one, release!"
At the soldiers' roar, the three catapults were activated.
A counterweight box filled with stones hangs from a short arm, which in turn lifts a long wooden pole high up via a lever arm.
Heavy sandstone blocks were thrown from behind the city wall, arcing through the sky before crashing onto the battlefield.
Snowflakes filled the air.
Several Ice Demons rushing towards the city wall were unable to dodge in time and their bodies were crushed flat on the spot, their broken limbs scattered everywhere.
But that's all.
The catapult was very powerful, but its kill radius was insufficient and its accuracy was almost non-existent. It was more suitable for attacking city walls than for defending them.
Therefore, on the battlefield at this moment, it can only be used as a supplementary means of trying one's luck.
To truly withstand the Iceborne Demons, one must rely on well-trained longbowmen and three ballistae with extremely high accuracy, controlled by dwarves.
"Aim for those polar bears' eyes! Seize the openings they make when they run! Shoot those monsters through!"
"The battalion commander, Philip, roared."
He seized the opportunity and, in the instant a polar bear on the ice field was running on all fours, drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The wolf-tooth arrow pierced the monster's eye.
The powerful penetrating damage, while failing to tear the skull of the Icefield White Bear directly, significantly slowed its movements and noticeably weakened its body.
Upon receiving their orders, the longbowmen raised their bows and aimed their arrows at the enemy's eyes.
After this period of training, they have mastered the longbow.
While they may not be able to hit the enemy's vitals with the precision of a sharpshooter on the battlefield, the advantages of legion warfare are enough to make up for this.
Arrows rained down at varying angles, yet some always managed to hit their target.
Sensing danger, the polar bears of the Icefield were forced to stop and shield their eyes with their paws.
At this moment, the dwarves activated the three ballistae that were ready.
Under the dwarf's skillful control, the crossbow bolts whistled out and accurately pierced the fixed target below.
Three more polar bears from the Icefield were pinned to the snow.
After continuous attrition, of the twelve attacking Icefield Demon White Bears, seven died, and more than 70% of the ordinary Icefield Demons were killed or wounded.
The soldiers didn't have time to celebrate.
The next second, a rumbling tremor came from the city wall beneath their feet, like an earthquake, bringing a sense of panic as if the city were about to collapse.
"Prepare to engage the enemy!"
"The Shield Guard Battalion Commander, Jade, roared."
The shield-and-spear soldiers stood firm, forming groups of three, and arranged themselves into a coordinated defensive formation atop the city wall.
Including the three that charged at the beginning, a total of four Icefield Demon White Bears arrived below the city wall and entered the blind spots of the longbows and ballistae.
These enormous monsters were now waving their bear paws and pounding on the city walls, attempting to use brute force to push down the obstacles in front of them.
After some attempts, they discovered that although the city wall was shaking, it showed no signs of collapsing.
The Iceborne White Bear changed its strategy and began throwing Iceborne monsters around it.
One by one, the Ice Demons were thrown onto the city walls, clashing head-on with the shield-wielding soldiers.
Amidst the clang of spears clashing against fangs, seven knights squires roamed the battlefield, their longswords relentlessly reaping the heads of the Icefield Demons.
Thanks to the superior formation of the army, the Iceborne Demons were unable to withstand the attack head-on, and their numbers continued to decrease.
The scales of victory are tipping in favor of Sunflower Manor.
"roar!"
The distant king of polar bears let out a deafening roar at this moment.
It hurled stones again, but they were blocked by the stone shield of the wall golem. Finally, it stopped waiting, striding forward with its thick, ferocious limbs and charging fiercely toward the wall.
Linde stood on the city wall, keeping a close eye on the movements of the White Bear King.
Seeing it charging towards him, he gripped the sword hilt tightly, knowing that the greatest danger was about to befall him.
The Icefield Demon was just an appetizer; this extraordinary monster was the real challenge.
By blocking the King of the White Bears, the manor will gain a large amount of abundant materials and enter a new stage of rapid development.
If it can't be stopped, then there's nothing more to say. The manor will be destroyed, everyone will become food for the monsters, and his spirit will once again be dormant.
"put!"
As Linde swung his sword, he cocked the three ballistae, aimed at the King of the White Bear, and fired the heavy bolts rapidly.
"Damn beast! Taste the wrath of the fury!"
The dwarves' eyes blazed with fury as they glared at the enemy that had attacked their people, hoping it would be pierced by a crossbow bolt like the Icefield White Bear.
However, they soon exclaimed in surprise.
The King of Polar Bears swung its front paws, and with a series of booming sounds, it managed to knock away three crossbow bolts in succession.
The so-called power was fully displayed in this monster.
The longbowmen's barrage of wolf-tooth arrows followed closely, colliding with the steel scales covering the White Bear King's body.
A blinding burst of sparks deflected the arrow, preventing it from inflicting any effective damage.
Just as it was about to crash into him, Lind roared:
"Stop it!"
The enormous rocky arm stretched out, its five sharply defined fingers spread wide, as if to grasp the King of the White Bear within it.
boom!
The two behemoths collided head-on.
The shockwave struck like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, causing the soldiers to fall uncontrollably onto the city wall, their expressions tense.
Did you manage to block it?
Unfortunately, no.
The white bear king's body was stopped by the rocky arm.
But as it roared towards the sky, cracks began to appear on the surface of the wall golem's arms, spreading to the wall and showing signs of breaking apart.
With both sides locked in a struggle, it probably won't be long before the White Bear King completely demolishes the city wall golem, turning it into ruins.
Lind was not disappointed; he had withstood the first wave of attack.
"William, let's go!"
Linde drew the Wolf King Straight Sword, leaped down, and jumped toward the head of the White Bear King.
Beside him, William was already ready, gripping the Wolf King Greatsword tightly with both hands, his body surrounded by swirling ice and snow.
Icefall Slash! Double Slash!
The two worked together, unleashing white wolf sword energy from both sides, slashing at the head of the bound white bear king.
"roar!"
The king of polar bears gleamed with a fierce light in his eyes.
Its scales stood up, surging like a swarm of insects, and in an instant, they all moved to its head, transforming into a steel helmet.
The white wolf's sword energy tore through layers of scales, revealing the corpses of bone-crushing steel lice scattered across the snow.
Unfortunately, the helmet's defense was too thick, and even the second burst of ice waterfall sword energy failed to damage the Bear King's head.
The raid failed, and Lind and William immediately pulled back.
boom!
The spot where they were standing was slammed down by the bear's paw, creating a huge crater in the ground.
The King of Polar Bears looked on with a brutal gaze.
Behind it, the walls of the golem had their arms torn off, and the ground was littered with broken sandstone blocks.
"Absolute power combined with top-tier defense, his entire being is a display of numerical prowess."
Linde stared at the body of the King of White Bears and couldn't help but sigh.
The enemy was difficult to break through his defenses; he would be finished if touched even once. The difference in strength between the two sides was like heaven and earth.
Fortunately, this monster wasn't perfect either.
Its massive size gives it unparalleled strength, but limits its agility in small areas.
Simply put, it's cumbersome, but it's not without a chance of winning.
Linde stroked the blade of the Wolf King Straight Sword, exchanged a glance with William, and launched another attack.
