The game has become a real alternate world
Chapter 1002 - 683: First Victory
On the previously empty stone tower now sits a formidable-looking alchemy weapon.
Just seeing this exaggerated weapon is enough to boost the soldiers' morale on the frontline.
This massive and intimidating object, with just one look, can make one feel the immense power it holds.
And today is the moment to witness its power.
The first shot of this all-out war will undoubtedly be fired by it.
And naturally, the battlefield they are on will play the opening chapter of the war.
With the pre-war mobilization over, a large number of soldiers have dispersed to various positions.
Various siege weapons have been pushed to the front.
The rats, though unclear of the Night Watcher's specific deployments, can at least glimpse part of the frontline camp through spells.
That alchemy cannon on the tower is also seen clearly by them.
"What should we do? That cannon looks so powerful, how can we rats withstand it?"
The Rat General on the wall was worried sick.
He had fought the Night Watchers before and knew well the strange alchemy technology they possessed.
Sometime, even before the enemy is seen, a fire cannon from the sky can crush their morale.
After this time, the Night Watchers' alchemy weapons are surely even more formidable, just look at that alchemy cannon, needing a tall stone tower for its base.
The Evil Rat Priest beside him just stared silently with dark green eyes, calm and not saying a word.
"The Rat barrier will hold the attack, we must brace for sacrifice. Only by ascending the Rat to a divine position do we have a chance of winning the war; this is the sole goal."
Upon hearing this, the Rat General screamed: "I know, you don't need to say it over and over! I surely understand! What I am asking is what should be done? Can't just let him keep firing, right? If he is truly that powerful, will the rats be wiped out?"
The Evil Rat Priest remained silent and didn't respond.
Clearly, he also had no good plan at the moment.
Judging by that weapon's stance, there are certainly many Night Watchers carefully guarding around it.
The Night Watchers have always been the ones to ambush us, how could they possibly send elite squads to ambush the Night Watchers?
Although the cannon looks powerful, it surely can't fire endlessly, right? Even if it could shoot continuously, can it really wipe out all the rats?
According to reports, there is only this one cannon, and the battlefield ahead is a long winding defense line.
No matter how powerful the weapon, it can at most cover one area, its actual effect is limited.
Even if it tears a hole in the line ahead, countless rats are waiting in the rear.
Simply put, they plan to use a massive swarm of rats to exhaust the enemy's attack.
Suddenly, the flow of Magic Power becomes visible.
The Evil Rat Priest and Rat General instantly quiet down, tightly focusing on the direction of the Magic Power flow.
The Magic Power gathers in a visible form, heading for that alchemy cannon visible from afar.
"The Night Watchers are going to attack!"
With the Rat General's shout, an earsplitting bell toll instantly resonates through the defense line, spreading wave after wave.
This is the warning signal for an imminent attack by the United Army.
At this moment, the cannon is still charging.
With Magic Power continuously accumulating, cold sweat increasingly flows on the Rat General's forehead.
Though the United Army on the frontline has long been ready for battle, they are also waiting patiently at this moment.
"Boom!"
A deafening thunderous sound erupts.
This piercing noise, despite many United Army soldiers being mentally ready, still buzzes their brains.
The cannon's muzzle lifts slightly at the moment of firing.
A shell brimming with Magic Power slices through the sky, a dazzling blue glow radiating like a brilliant meteor streaking across the battlefield.
Meteor-like shells rush into the sky, penetrates the clouds, and vanish.
"Huh?"
The United Army soldiers are filled with bewilderment.
Wasn't this ammunition supposed to be aimed at the enemy's wall?
In their understanding, this weapon is meant to instantly penetrate the enemy's defense, creating an advantage for the first strike; a strategic asset.
Most soldiers understood it this way.
But the current scene seems different from what they imagined.
Not only the United Army, but the rats are equally puzzled.
Originally trembling, they suddenly froze, watching the gathered Magic Power shell fly high into the sky and disappear without a trace.
"Can't see it anymore."
The Rat General mutters.
Suddenly, a powerful force tears through the clouds. The clouds, dim and turbid due to Chaos Magic Power, are forcibly ripped open.
The evil rats receive divine warnings instantly, screaming and raising their Magic Staffs.
A large amount of green energy rushes toward the sky.
Numerous Rat Priests obey commands, gathering Magic Power to form a murky barrier filled with resentment, mixed with Chaos Magic Power, covering above them.
Piercing the clouds are blue energy arrows, resembling arrowheads.
One by one, dense blue arrows pierce the clouds like a honeycomb until the clouds are completely penetrated and disperse.
In the sky, dense blue arrows pour down like raindrops.
From afar, it seems the sky rains blue.
The rumbling continually impacts the barrier.
The waves generated by the Magic Power conflict spread outward layer by layer.
Such dense attacks nearly envelop the entire fortress. Without relying on this evil barrier, merely this round of attack would instantly overwhelm the fortress.
For the rats, such a blow is unbearable; they must resist desperately.
"Fire!"
Blake observes the battlefield situation and shouts loud.
The sharp sound slicing through the air, and the subsequent various rumbles weave together.
The Night Watchers' siege weapons begin to attack.
Rocks after rocks, ordinary stone bullets, scorching flame-bearing stone bullets, stone bullets engraved with golden spells, rain down furiously.
A myriad of Magic Power attacks furiously rush toward the enemy.
These siege stone bullets instantly bombard the enemy's wall, and the filthy debris originally attached to the wall is blown all over.
Part of the wall is directly collapsed; more and more siege stone bullets whizz over.
These are no ordinary stones; they are specially restructured elements, causing significant damage to surrounding areas upon landing, possessing strong destructive power.
What's more troubling for the rats is that these stone bullets also disperse their Chaos Magic Power, rendering the surrounding Chaos Magic Power chaotic and disorderly.
The stone bullets contain positive energies like Holy Light, further confusing the battlefield's situation.
The rats' Magic Power quickly falls into an unstable state.
At this moment, they lack sufficient Magic Power to resist the frontal fierce attacks.
The Night Watchers' siege weapons unobstructedly fall into their city, smashing the walls.
"Kill!"
The United Army's major forces seize the moment to seize advancement promptly.
The chaotic Magic Power makes some ratmen unable to maintain defense further, and the flying stone bullets eliminate some ratmen providing defense Magic Power.
The barrier above the rats begins to crack.
But the rain-like blue arrows continue attacking.
"Crack!"
This time, the barrier shatters completely.
The rain-like attack falls ruthlessly.
From the onset of the battle, the United Army marks a triumph, seizing the first city.
