Chapter 600 - A Surprise Attack
Arthur didn\'t know what the golden dragon was up to but he watched many portals appearing around the fort while the system informed those free to enter.
"Incoming!"
Again Amera shouted and this time Arthur didn\'t need to check out what was coming at him. He knew it was that distasteful pillar and the next moment he threw the two pillars backward as hard as he could along the arrows to activate them.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"Swoosh!"
The moment the gigantic pillar hit the shield, the two pillars Arthur threw were activated. Three shockwaves hit each other while the fort trembled and swayed under this mighty clash before finally stabilizing.
"It took some damage," Arthur sighed when he spotted the small lines of cracks over the ground formed of ores. "I hope they can fix it."
He glanced over the villagers before he had an idea. "All the villagers leave the machines and start repairing the fort. All the mages over the walls move towards these machines and start working hard over it."
After the first pillar\'s shockwave ended, the region\'s shape drastically changed in front of his eyes. Most of the enemies who fortified the first spot were crushed by the shockwave, either smashed to death or sent to fly far in the distance.
And he doubted they would emerge unscathed from such brutal hit or rough landing.
So he figured that he didn\'t need all those mages on the walls. Not when the enemy was using everything he had to delay the fort advance.
The addition of mages and the diligent work of the villagers proved to be a very perfect combination at this urgent hour. Arthur watched the fort moving at a higher speed than ever, while the cracks created by the mighty clashes between his pillars and the enemy\'s were all dealt with timely and rapidly by his army of villagers.
"Good, we can survive this," he nodded in content before glancing finally over the distance, "just wait, shave your head clean for me to cleave it."
Arthur stood in the air like a warlord while his army of mages, villagers, and elites were working hard to keep things in bait. He observed the rapid movement of his fort until a large group of enemies got dispatched from the second fortified spot.
"They are switching gears," he sneered before shifting his gaze up, "I believe you won\'t be crazy to send your men to their death for nothing."
He knew his enemy wouldn\'t use the pillar attack for now, yet the violent techniques kept raining down the shield non-stop.
If not for this elite army aided by his towers the shields would have fallen long time ago.
"Go back to the walls," Arthur gave the order with a loud shout, "all villagers return to the machines."
The shift happened swiftly and just before the new enemies approached, his mages were stationed once more over the walls.
And another wave of violent fight erupted where his army had the superior hand over their enemies thanks to the shield and various defensive tools scattered all over the walls.
And Arthur started attacking using his deadly breaths to hunt down strong looking monsters and mages from his enemy\'s side.
As for his elites, they kept those from higher realms in check and prevented any considerable damage to come to the shields.
"Almost there," Arthur could see the fortified spot clearly now from his place high in the air. The spot turned into a weak version of his fort, with low walls and some hastily built towers.
"Where are you bastards?"
Arthur saw a large number of strong looking mages and monsters gathered in the heart of this small fort. He couldn\'t tell who was the leader, who was his real enemy, who was the head of the snake.
"Lacking confirmation about your identity means I have to kill them all," he sneered before heading towards Doaf and others. "See that group over there?" he pointed towards the direction of this strong core group of his enemies, "we need to crush them first."
"They use strong defensive shields," Doaf said after a few moments of observation, "this will take some time to crack."
"Then start attacking now," Arthur didn\'t hesitate to say, "leave some behind to guard against any from higher realms and start raining that damn shield with your strongest techniques."
"Leave this to me," Amera smiled before she turned around with her spear and then she launched it while flying fast to the front.
"Wait for me," the crow shouted before Doaf helplessly shook his head, "these two… sigh," he didn\'t stand there as he moved after arranging the forces.
Small part was left on top of the fort while the rest followed the three leaders to the nearby enemy shield.
"I also would help," Arthur didn\'t take the same route as he flew first around the location of his sealed city. This took roughly an hour before he finally spotted the remaining enemy forces gathered around the fortified fort of theirs.
"Focusing on the front is your biggest mistake here," Arthur sneered before he released his almost activated two pillars using arrows towards the shielded fort.
Then he launched two arrows to activate them.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
The two pillars attack came unexpectedly to his enemies who were very busy dealing with the tough attacks from his elite forces. The next instant the shield started to crack while the shockwave hit everyone around without exception including his task force.
Despite that Arthur was content with the result. "Couple more hits and it will crack open," he laughed before starting to activate the pillars again.
As he knew his enemy wouldn\'t stand silent he targeted George\'s pillar first. It had such a brutal effect plus it only needed fewer numbers of arrows to be activated.
Just as the enemy started to react and send a large group of flying monsters towards him, the pillar was ready.
"Die!" he simply threw it using one arrow while sending another arrow towards it to be activated.
"Rumble!"
"What the hell…?!!"
Just as the shockwave erupted, Arthur suddenly felt danger approaching fast before he turned his gaze to the sky and watched this gigantic pillar descending precisely over his head.
"Sending one pillar to kill me? Damn, you are such a ruthless foe," Arthur didn\'t hesitate to move with his fastest speed trying to evade the deadly hit coming from high above.
