The Revered Envoy looked at Shalifa, who remained silent, and smiled faintly.

Your Excellency, the city walls have been breached now, and your soldiers should be able to capture Feiguang City. However, we have brought two cannonb.a.l.l.s this time. If you feel its not enough, we can fire one more time to completely destroy the enemys morale.

No need, this is sufficient, Shalifa replied, his confidence restored in his eyes. Our warriors can take over the upcoming battle.

After recovering from the devastating bombardment, all the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ba.s.s, under the shouts of various officers, once again plunged into the battle and rushed towards the wide breach.

The defenders of Feiguang City did not hesitate either and quickly organized their soldiers to build defenses at the breach.

This time, they were brought to the same level, with no advantages or strengths to rely on, only face-to-face combat.

However, the destructive power of the Destroyers artillery was terrifying. It not only directly disintegrated a large section of the city wall but also destroyed over a hundred arrow towers and spell towers on top of the wall. Some parts of the buildings were even blasted into the center of the city.

The thousands of soldiers stationed on the city wall also vanished in the bombardment, and such a large firepower gap could not be filled in a short time.

A group of a hundred defenders from Feiguang City just reached the breach in the wall and were turned into sieves by the arrow rain from the eagles in formation in the sky. The earth wall raised by the geomancers was shattered by the cannons on the shoulders of the strange beasts the next second.

The defending soldiers rushed up one after another but were systematically wiped out. In less than two hundred meters, the breach in the wall had become a slaughterhouse, and human lives became the least valuable thing at this moment.

The determination of both sides was to hold this place until the arrival of the reinforcements from the Duchy. But the Kingdom of Ba.s.s was determined to break through here, uproot this nail-like city, and establish an absolute advantage for the attack on Tressburg City.

Both sides had reasons not to retreat.

However, just an hour later, more and more soldiers from the Kingdom of Ba.s.s occupied the breach in the city wall. Instead, they used lightweight portable war equipment and dozens of exotic beasts to build a thick defensive line on top of the wall. The defending soldiers from Feiguang City were ruthlessly killed outside the wall as they rushed in.

Then, they took advantage of their absolute advantage and advanced to both sides, starting to clear the defenders on the walls and the interior pa.s.sages of the wall like a spreading virus, eroding the defense of the entire wall.

The defenders of Feiguang City were already inferior in combat power, and now losing the defensive advantage of the wall, they were retreating step by step.

At this point, a group of two thousand Wyverns, which was Feiguang Citys only aerial unit and its most formidable force, launched into the air.

However, their departure indicated that Feiguang City had run out of options and had no other way to save itself.

If the Wyverns could not successfully counterattack the breach in the city wall using their breath and physical bodies, then they would have to abandon the defense of the city wall, withdraw all personnel back into the city, and use houses, ruins, and sewers to fight a guerrilla war, trying to delay as much time as possible.

This information quickly reached Shalifa, and there was no hint of surprise on his face because this intelligence was on his desk long before the war began. The entire Feiguang City was almost transparent to them.

Without hesitation, he gave the order.

Let the aerial forces delay and engage the Wyverns, and have the ground forces carrying anti-aircraft equipment advance steadily!

As long as there are no other unseen circ.u.mstances, victory will ultimately belong to us!

Wyverns, wearing lightweight armor, soared through the sky, braving the arrow rain from the giant eagle archers, and headed straight for the breach in the city wall, exhaling corrosive breath.

However, the enemy soldiers seemed prepared. They collectively took out scrolls of specific spell s.h.i.+elds and placed themselves under the protection of the s.h.i.+elds. This round of breath only melted a few exotic beasts and a few hundred enemy soldiers who were not protected by s.h.i.+elds.

The results were not satisfactory.

But the next moment, their counterattack came.

Steel crossbow bolts with attached hooks and ropes were launched into the air, piercing through the Wyverns lightweight armor and deeply into their bodies. Instantly, mechanical pulleys tightened, causing the taut ropes to unbalance the Wyverns and send them cras.h.i.+ng down, resulting in a gruesome pile of shredded flesh.

The anti-aircraft units that arrived later set up spell pedestals, mages raised their staffs, and unleashed barrages, disrupting the formation and lowering the flight alt.i.tude of the Wyverns, bringing down another portion of them.

After one round of attack, less than one-third of the two-thousand-strong force of Wyvners managed to escape.

Seeing this scene, a smile finally appeared on Shalifas face. At this point, Feiguang Citys fall was inevitable. Under the complete suppression of troops, firepower, and intelligence, the Feiguang City defenders, without the protection of the city walls, had no way to stop their wolf-like a.s.sault.

Next, the enemy would likely continue to retreat, fall back into the city, and engage in guerrilla warfare using houses, ruins, and sewers, trying to delay as much time as possible.

However, that was not a problem. As long as they gained control of all the city walls, it was like catching turtles in a jar. When the reinforcements skilled in urban warfare arrived, they could capture them all at once.

With such a significant advantage, even the Revered Envoy couldnt help but nod. She couldnt think of anything that could reverse this situation.

Just as she was about to express her joy, she suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation beneath her feet. Before she could figure out what it was, the alchemical sonar operator on the wars.h.i.+p exclaimed in panic..
