Chapter 351: Siege
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Beams of light fell from above the outwall of Liuguang City and bombarded the ve soldiers on the ground.
The ve soldiers returned fire from the demon guns in their hands, and beams of light barreled toward Liuguang Citys outwall.
The elite human soldiers on Liuguang Citys outwall have cultivated spirit shield arts, which can weaken the power of long-range attacks. Moreover, they wear spirit force armor that can further weaken the power of bullets. Coupled with the protection of the outwall, their casualties were low.
The ve soldiers driven by the Hollow Demons are really miserable. Once they are hit, they will lose theirbat power. They will be left on the battlefield while crying in pain.
Whats the point of this attack?
Shu Feng looked at the ve soldiers that were being killed left and right and asked curiously.
On thisrge-scale battlefield, there are people dying every moment. Their souls are absorbed by Shu Feng, bing resources in his base. He feels greatly satisfied with this.
However, if only cannon fodder is used to attack the city, then even if the attacksts for 10 years, they wont be able to capture a level-1 city like Liuguang City.
Fang Long said, It can consume the spirit force and physical strength of our soldiers. In addition, there are many Hollow Demon n sharpshooters hiding among the ve soldiers. These sharpshooters are very annoying!
At this moment, beams of light shot out from among the ve soldiers, mmed into the heads of human soldiers on the outwall, and blew their heads away.
Beams of light sted apart the heads of human soldiers from gunholes.
After a sessful attack, the sharpshooters mixed among the ve soldiers quickly changed locations.
The marksmen on Liuguang Citys outwall also opened fire and sniped the sharpshooters hidden among the cannon fodder.
Shu Feng frowned and said, It seems that these arent Souleater sharpshooters, but ve sharpshooters. Howe they serve the Hollow Demon n?
Much like some traitors of Blue Stars human n have defected to the Hollow Demon n, there are numerous traitors in demi-human ns and beastman ns. ording to the information we obtained from torturing prisoners, many demi-humans and beastmen who defected to the Hollow Demon n have been nurtured by the Hollow Demons. Their status is higher than that of ordinary demi-human and beastman ves.
In addition, the demi-human and beastman sharpshooters can receive a huge reward and merit every time they kill a human soldier. If they umte enough merit, they can redeem a transformation ceremony and turn into Demonmen or even Hollow Demon nobles. Thats the reason why the sharpshooters work so hard. Fang Long sighed slightly.
The strength of the Hollow Demon n is far higher than that of Blue Stars human n. The scariest thing is that they employ various strategies, including ve soldiers, to further tilt the scales in their favor.
If it werent for the fact that there are great conflicts within the Hollow Demon n and the fact that Blue Star is protected by the Worldheart, Blue Stars human n would long have been defeated and enved by the Hollow Demon n.
Unable to bear the cruel death toll, many of the ve soldiers broke rank and retreated toward the headquarters of the Hollow Demons. Those ve soldiers just retreated when they were forced to continue to attack Liuguang City by the Hollow Demon supervision team.
The brutal massacre continued as one ve battalion after another was wiped out by the soldiers on Liuguang Citys outwall.
The soldiers on Liuguang Citys outwall, who took turns attacking, consumed their physical strength and spirit force at an rming pace. Every time they fired a shot, the soldiers had to consume a fraction of their spirit force. The ve soldiers didnt sit with their hands folded, but fought back. This pressure further sapped the energy of the soldiers on Liuguang Citys outwall.
The Hollow Demons continuously drove groups of newly recruited ves toward Liuguang City. Many of the ves were residents of the Qianyuan Republic not long ago.
Help me!
Dont kill me!
Pitiful cries and pleading resounded on the battlefield. Even so, the soldiers on Liuguang Citys outwall pulled the trigger of their spirit guns indifferently and fired at the ve soldiers.
In less than a day, corpses filled the moat of Liuguang City and piled up into a mountain outside the city.
Hospitals in Liuguang City overflowed with injured soldiers.
Among the ve soldiers, there were many marksmen hidden. They killed and wounded many soldiers of Liuguang City.
What a cruel battle! If it werent for the Marsh Overlord, then even though I have built level-1 Spirit Force Towers, the Marsh Dragon Territory would also have to face such a cruel battle.
Shu Feng stood above Liuguang City and looked at the mountain of ve corpses outside the city, and his heart sank slightly. He gained a deeper understanding regarding the cruelty of the battle.
Young master! Those Souleaters are crazy! They have used so many ve soldiers to consume our spirit force and physical strength. Im afraid they are going tounch an all-out attack against us! I suggest that we ask the military for help.
Liu Liang looked at the ve soldiers who continued to pour in from various ces and gave a suggestion to Fang Long, a look of worry in his eyes.
Liuguang City only suffered 1,000 casualties. On the other hand, 100,000-plus ve soldiers were killed. However, if things continue like this, Liuguang City wont be able to bear it. After all, Liuguang City only has 30,000 elite soldiers of the Fang Magnus Family.
There are 50,000 Souleater soldiers preserving their strength outside Liugang City, spurning the ve soldiers to attack the city and consume the strength, spirit force, and morale of Liuguang Citys soldiers. When the strength of Liuguang Citys soldiers is exhausted, the 50,000 Souleater elite soldiers willunch an attack. They might be able to break through the outwall in one go.
A dignified color streaked across Fang Longs eyes, and he said, Im going to request the military to send help!
The Fang Magnus Family has its people in the military, who can influence the militarys decision in a crisis like this. They can have the military send support. After all, once Liuguang City is taken down, the territory of the Fang Magnus Family will be exposed to the tyranny of the Hollow Demon n, and the Qianyuan Republic will lose an important barrier.
Night fell and darkness enveloped the earth.
The Souleater n is still spurning ve soldiers to attack Liuguang City, with gunfire sounding incessantly.
Night has finallye!
In a forest about 20 kilometers away from the camp of the Souleater n, Shu Feng hid with the help of the Lord of the Nights Ring. He waved his hand and summoned 2,000 Dragonhounds, who exude a formidable aura.
