Chapter 492: Chapter 419, Strength of a Quasi-god_1
Perched on the mountainside, palaces and lofty halls soared high.
The palace rooftops were covered with glazed tiles, and jade railings wrapped around the stacked stones.
However, it had been left unattended for far too long.
The walls were covered with a layer of iron color.
Nonetheless, standing beneath it was like looking up at a celestial palace, grand and magnificent.
“Proceed with caution, beware of enemies along the way.”
Upon command, the army continued to press forward.
Below the mountain, a city encased by thick walls lay.
The city walls still stood tall. The wooden parts of the city gate were already rotting, and various metal parts, covered in rust, were scattered everywhere.
“My lord, there are some special circumstances ahead. Black Sword Leader requests your presence.” A soldier relayed the message once again.
Fang Hao controlled the puppet, all along staying in the middle of the army.
Upon hearing the soldier’s message, he finally spread his wings and flew to the front of the formation.
As Black Sword and his men were gazing into the city from the gate, Fang Hao landed at their side.
He was momentarily taken aback by the scene within the city.
In the open space within the city walls, was a countless number of golden-armored soldiers kneeling neatly in rows.
“Corrupted Temple Guardians (Tier 10)”
“Corrupted Temple Knights (Tier 10)”
The enemies were mainly in three categories: “Corrupted Temple Guardians”, “Corrupted Temple Flag-bearers”, and “Corrupted Temple Knights”.
The soldiers were tall and burly, their backs erect as they knelt, a long halberd placed in their right hand and resting on the ground.
Within these troops, there were a few soldiers holding flagpoles. However, the flags that once topped these poles had long rotted away, leaving nothing but bare poles.
The golden-armored soldiers, who must have been kneeling there for countless years, were covered in dust and their armor was patched and speckled.
Through the gaps in the armor, rotten sackcloth clothing and blackened skin could be seen.
If the enemy’s tiers and names were displayed,
It meant that these soldiers still possess combat capabilities.
“No need to probe any further, these enemies still have fighting capabilities, and they have all reached Tier 10 as well. Get ready for battle.” Fang Hao directly stated.
“Yes, my lord.” Black Sword responded.
He began to issue sets of commands. All soldiers began to mobilize and prepare for the attack.
The enemies remained dormant ahead.
This brought an advantage to our side.
Leading the offensive were flocks of skeleton giant bats.
Their short hind legs clutched onto bombs as they flew towards the golden-armored soldiers.
As they barely flew over the city walls, the golden-armored soldiers who were originally kneeling, started to move.
They slowly stood up, their hollow eyes looking at the mob of bats surging in the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The golden-armored soldiers, whose equipped crossbows had already rotted away, could only throw partially rotten lances into the sky.
But it had little to no effect.
At this point, behind the golden-armored soldiers, from the base of the mountain, a large number of contaminated avian soldiers took flight and headed straight for them.
They entangled with the skeleton giant bats in the sky.
However, the volume of avian troops couldn’t compare to that of the skeleton giant bats.
When the skeleton giant bats reached the space above the golden-armored soldiers, the bombs were dropped like rain, falling all over the ground.
After the skeleton giant bats completed their task, they showed no inclination to stay and fight.
JJust as they had arrived, they left, swiftly retreating to the back of the Undead’s formation.
In the meantime, the avian species were almost entirely devoured by the large group of skeleton giant bats.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Following the first bomb explosion, a series of explosions resounded inside the city walls.
Dust and smoke filled the air, causing the entire land to tremble.
When the explosions ceased,
The ground was strewn with the limbs of golden-armored soldiers.
However, since they were Tier 10 troops, their inherent attributes provided them with a massive advantage.
A considerable number of golden soldiers still survived.
Compared to prior bombing campaigns against the troll coalition army, the golden soldiers had a higher survival rate.
Furthermore, the contaminated soldiers, who were immune to pain, launched a counterattack despite missing a large part of their body.
Following the explosion, the golden-armored soldiers began their assault on the skeleton army.
Meanwhile, within the White Bone Army, Black Sword also issued the attack command.
“Attack!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Lightning strikes, magical missiles and arrows were rained down on the enemy’s territory from far above.
The disparity in numbers doomed the battle to be one-sided.
Each golden-armored soldier that broke through the city gates was struck by at least hundreds of magical spells and thousands of arrows.
The city gates seemed like a barrier of death.
Those who broke through, fell in swathes, dying instantly.
They turned into heaps of ashes,
Only leaving behind their battered armor, which gradually accumulated into a small hill.
After several rounds of carpet bombing, all enemies were obliterated, leaving only armor and ashes in their wake.
After the battle, everyone began collecting their spoils of war.
On the way, in addition to the regular drops of “Shadowstones” and “Traces of Death”, many “Traces of Prayer” and “Traces of Divinity” were also discovered.
If traces were separated into common and rare, then these two kinds would undoubtedly be considered the rarest resources.
…
After collecting the loot, the troops continued deeper into the city.
The path to the palace atop the mountain was a steep stone stairway.
Once it was confirmed there were no dangers within the city, everyone started to march up the mountain.
The army trudged up the steps, advancing briskly.
Finally, they arrived at the palace.
The temple was much more magnificent and grand than what they had seen from the foot of the mountain.
In front of the temple, a large copper door stood proudly. The sheer size of the door was beyond comprehension.
