Surprise Attack

Chapter 67 Surprise Attack

tom!

tom!

Two muffled sounds.

That was the ram's head hammer at the bottom of the siege tower hitting the city wall.

The suspension bridge at the top of the tower, connected by iron chains, was quickly lowered.

Hill roared, and his giant axe flashed with a bright white light as he cleaved the drawbridge to pieces.

Several crossbow bolts pierced his armor but did not cause him any real damage. An arrow aimed at his face was bitten to pieces by him.

But from the open doorway on the tower, three people rushed out one after another, their weapons all covered with dazzling battle aura, and they immediately entangled Hill.

"Charge!" Baron Swood roared, leading the family knights guarding his side, and charged forward with their longswords raised.

He also possesses battle qi, but its level is not very high, only at the mid-second rank.

Brenta quickly followed, sword in hand.

He secretly rejoiced that there weren't many martial arts warriors hidden in the tower; these three, and the ones who followed them onto the city wall, were just ordinary soldiers.

call out!call out!

Two sharp explosions, one after the other, resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

Brenta couldn't help but look up and saw two huge fireballs streaking across the sky like shooting stars, falling towards the city walls on both sides.

boom!

boom!

The fireball landed on the city wall, instantly causing a massive explosion.

Amidst the deafening roar, human remains flew wildly through the air amidst the flames and smoke.

Brenta was stunned.

Those two fireballs actually blasted the city wall into collapse, destroying nearly half of it.

"It's an explosive shell! Damn it!" Baron Swood cursed through gritted teeth.

Branta then realized what the mercenaries below the city walls were waiting for.

They were waiting for this explosive bomb to blast open the city walls!

Those two were not catapults at all, but magical weapons that looked extremely similar to catapults.

I was shocked to see that light was gathering on the two magical weapons.

So the reason they were delaying their attack was that they were gathering magic power!

Count Mujik has such connections that he can rent magical weapons!

Upon seeing the two large fireballs, Alphonse already sensed something was wrong.

It doesn't matter how many soldiers from the Swood family die; they are ultimately outsiders, not citizens of Coldwind Territory.

But the town of the Swood family cannot fall, in order to ensure Alphonse's interests.

If Baron Swood and Branta die, who will they ask for the money from?

"Let's go!" Alphonse put on his helmet and pulled down his mask.

Before you have any protective aura, it's best not to be too reckless. Although wearing a helmet isn't very comfortable, it's better than getting hit.

Only Mia stood out from the crowd, not wearing a helmet or even a vest with the family crest printed on it, but instead wearing a leather armor that was a different color from the soldiers'.

The soldiers' leather armor was all blackish-gray, with an additional layer of chainmail over it, while hers was reddish-brown, making her stand out.

It's not fair to be too demanding of her. Her leather armor is her own, and women's leather armor is quite different from men's. She had been wearing it long before she became Lady Mary's guardian knight.

"yes!"

All the soldiers of the Cold Wind Guard responded in unison and charged out with Alphonse, heading straight down the mountain.

"I'll go first!" Alphonse said, and with a flash, he sped away like an arrow released from a bow.

Simon, Jeru, and Tessie were all startled, but it was too late to speak up and stop them.

The main force's speed was indeed inferior to that of Alphonse, and even Tessie couldn't match it.

Komiya quickly caught up with Alphonse, "How could you leave the unit?"

"I can't wait any longer! If we don't destroy that magical weapon, the Swood family will be in big trouble. I can't just watch them die!" Alphonse replied casually without stopping.

Mia felt helpless. She had already heard about the magic contract from Alphonse. He dared to charge into the formation alone, so he must be planning to use shadow manipulation magic.

But she had no choice but to follow; she couldn't watch Alphonse risk his life alone.

Although the main force was advancing, Count Mujik still left a portion of his troops to guard him.

Many soldiers were still guarding the two magical weapons.

They immediately noticed two figures, one red and one crimson, rushing swiftly towards the location of the magical weapon.

"Two people like you dare to charge at us?" Count Mujik couldn't help but find it amusing, and roared, "Kill them!"

The swordsmen immediately formed a battle formation, raising their large shields, with sharp spears emerging from the gaps, pointing directly at the two men charging forward.

Alphonse crossed his hands, and a dark light instantly enveloped his palms.

The Mysterious Black Gold Palm was poised to strike.

Five of the six Yin meridians have been opened, greatly improving his internal strength and significantly enhancing the power of the Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm.

This is also what Alphonse relies on.

Fortunately, the archers had already advanced with the battle formation, saving a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, he has not yet mastered the second level of the Innate Formless Divine Skill, and cannot project his internal energy outwards.

To master a deeper level of power, one could directly strike with a powerful palm strike from a distance, creating a terrifying aura and showcasing even greater might.

Alphonse was ready to fight, but Mia acted even faster.

With a sudden swing of his longsword, a crescent-shaped energy beam over two zhang long swept across the area.

The moment this aura slash made contact with the defensive array of large shields, the swordsmen and shieldmen at the front of the formation were immediately knocked back by the powerful force, while the spearmen behind them also tumbled to the ground under the impact.

A chorus of wails rose up, and the formation crumbled in an instant.

Alphonse seized the opportunity and rushed in, striking out with both palms in rapid succession, his palm shadows flying through the air like a tidal wave.

The continuous, heavy thuds echoed like muffled thunder.

The soldiers who were hit all spat out blood and were blasted away, knocking down many of their comrades. Some unlucky ones even ran into the tip of a spear and died on the spot.

Soldiers were scattered all over the ground, leaving a clearing around Alphonse.

Before the soldiers behind could adjust their formation and launch an attack, they were horrified to discover an astonishing scene.

Countless dark shadows suddenly appeared from all directions, and enormous dark ants and giant ants bared their ferocious claws at them.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

Blood splattered and flew everywhere.

Just a moment of shock and disorientation had already cost the soldiers dearly, with countless men being knocked to the ground by the giant shadow ants.

Count Mujik's expression changed instantly, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Block those monsters!"

The soldiers around him immediately surged forward like a tide and engaged in a fierce battle with the swarm of shadow giant ants.

Alphonse had already locked onto a magical weapon, and with the shadow giant ants relentlessly tearing through the path, he shot out like a cannonball.

Once the Monkey King unleashed his Hundred Transformations Technique, his figure moved like a phantom, weaving through the crowd, constantly knocking down soldiers who came near, and rapidly approaching his target.
