Chapter 496: Rushing to the City Wall

In a siege, the attackers climbed onto the city wall not long after the battle began. This kind of case is quite rare in the entire history.

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

Now, all wasted.

It was raining heavily, which was actually not good 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 strength than normal.

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

The good news is that despite the large amount of smoke, at least people could climb onto the city wall. The officers quickly ordered the soldiers to stop Viola's army, and the two sides fought over the city wall.

The bad news...

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

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

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

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

One of the important reasons is that the moat is too ugly, and the Avarus royal family does not think that the enemy will directly attack the capital.

In order to deal with Viola's attack, the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army is of course making as much preparation as possible, but digging a moat is a bit big, and they did not expect that Viola's soldiers would start attacking the city gate so quickly.

The secret baffle near the city gate was opened, and the soldiers of the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army threw stones or shot crossbows to try to prevent Viola's army from smashing the gate.

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

To be honest, the gate of the Silver City is very solid, and it is said that it is enchanted. Even if a powerful magic that can destroy an army is used to attack it, it may not be able to be opened.

The battering ram held by the soldiers is impossible to open even if they are asked to smash it for a whole day.

The general was a little relieved, but at this time a dazzling white aura burst out from the direction of the city gate, and the general's heart was raised to his throat again.

——Ang!

Accompanied by a terrible roar, a white dragon appeared under the city gate. The crossbows of the defenders shot at its scales, which was not even a tickle. To deal with the dragon, crossbows and special dragon-killing arrows are needed to be effective, but how can we call for crossbows now?

Don't forget that the crossbows and catapults on the city wall have basically been burned to ashes.

The white dragon Rhaena has been mixed in with the soldiers until she approached the city gate and showed her true form, just to avoid being attacked by the crossbows on the city wall.

This is the time for her to show her power.

She grabbed the siege hammer held by the soldier. 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 iron hoops to hit the city gate fiercely.

The physical ability of dragons is far beyond that of mortals. This is more effective than a dozen hits by soldiers. The violent shaking almost made the general standing on the high tower overlooking the entire battlefield fall. The staff officer beside him hurriedly supported him.

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

At least it can hold on for the time being, but the siege troops surrounding the city gate must be dealt with as soon as possible.

–--——---——

On the other side of the battlefield, Viola rode a horse, looking at the battle in the distance with a little bit of displeasure.

She was the one who led the charge at the beginning of the battle, but when the real fight started, she hid behind the soldiers, feeling like she was retreating from the battlefield.

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

She was the only direct descendant of the Avarus royal family, so no accidents could happen.

This princess was the type who would really do anything if something happened. Zora and the guards knights took a lot of effort to pull Viola back, and tied two ropes around her waist, fearing that she would suddenly run away again when the guards knights were distracted.

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

"Your Highness, can you just stay here honestly..."

Wendy's work ability is indeed worthy of the title of military advisor, as she can disband and reorganize the troops brought by more than a dozen lords, and it only took a few days.

But the commander of an army personally led the troops and handed all the things to the military advisor. Aren't you 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 is afraid that you might get into trouble if you rush 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 20 war elephants were staggering from the left, as if they were going to launch a charge and block the attacking troops' route from the side.

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

But it must be said that war elephants more than ten meters high, combined with the archers on their backs, are a mobile fortress. There is no need to attack nearly twenty war elephants. 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 there are only twenty of them. It is not easy to raise this thing. 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 received the news that the war elephant troops are approaching.

This time, the departure horn sounded from Viola's camp. A group of cavalrymen holding super-long lances rode to the left to try to stop the war elephant troops.

Many of them are Viola's guards knights, and some are professional priests of the Demon King. They can see the aura of various divine arts flashing continuously during the charge, wrapping this cavalry team in colorful colors and adding a lot of buffs.

Viola was about to ride 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, she was easy to deal with, but once she got to the battlefield, Viola was like a husky. If she didn't like it, she would just let it go.

Although the war elephants were strong, there were not many of them. The cavalry harassment was enough to hold them back.

The Enwei Demon Kingdom Army was also aware of this.

Accompanied by the shrill cry of the eagle, through the telescope, Viola saw a group of birds with colorful feathers and larger than horses taking off from the Silver City.

"Sure enough, they are here. It's the Dragon Eagle Knights."
