Chapter 360 The Battle for the Sky-Blue Castle 2
However, as soon as his voice fell.
A series of urgent horn sounds echoed outside the hall door.
"No good, it's the highest level enemy attack alarm!" At this moment, the Grand Elder, who was seated at the lower end of the table, had a stern expression on his old face, and couldn't help but blurt out.
"Let's go out and take a look." On the other side, the middle-aged City Lord sprang up from his throne, and a Tier 3 Fine Metal Magic Staff, shimmering with multicolored light, appeared in his palm.
Orion Wolfe and Amelia, who were beside him, had already taken out their respective weapons, with serious expressions on their faces.
So, when the six strongest powerhouses in the castle arrived at the city wall.
The scene before them left them dumbfounded.
On the edge of the forest across the lake, a large number of black stone giants appeared, riding the wind and breaking the waves, rapidly advancing towards the castle.
As the splendid sky was filled with countless black stone pterosaurs flapping their wings.
For a time, the surroundings of the castle were almost entirely covered by the frantic onslaught of these opponents, blocking the sky and the sun.
"Judging from the aura, they are all Tier 3 advanced magic puppets, and their number is probably no less than 50!" Seeing this, the Grand Elder couldn't help but swallow, his face full of horror.
At present, there are still about one and a half elite middle teams in the castle, with about 150 Tier 2 powers and six Tier 3 powerhouses.
Such strength can barely cope with half of the attacking enemies, and the rest of them will undoubtedly cause devastating damage to the entire castle!
What's most crucial is that although the black stone giants on the ground look very heavy, each of them can climb walls and are extremely agile.
It was during the first attack when these ground creatures suddenly became aggressive.
One by one, they rushed to the city wall at an extremely fast speed, causing no small trouble for the unprepared elite middle team soldiers.
On the other side, the soldiers on the city wall were also full of anxiety and insecurity, swallowing nervously.
"Don't panic, all archers aim at the enemies in the sky and prioritize eliminating them. The rest of the soldiers stay in front and defend against the attacking enemies!"
At that moment, a calm and composed voice sounded.
A pair of pale golden magic wings emerged from the middle-aged City Lord, who was also a Moonlight Mage at the peak of Tier 3.
He then floated slowly into the air above the castle and spoke loudly, "Our reinforcements are on their way.
All the warriors of Mystara City, persevere and victory is ours!"
"Yes, Sir! Persevere and victory is ours!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers' tension eased slightly, and they began to reorganize their battle formations on the city wall under the command of their respective commanders.
For a time, the crisp sound of armor clashing echoed on the city wall, and an atmosphere of solemn killing spread quietly around the castle.
Subsequently, Orion Wolfe, along with three Moonlight Mage elders, including the Grand Elder, fluttered their magic wings and soared into the sky.
Along with the high-pitched and stirring chants.
The five Tier 3 Moonlight Mages, without any hesitation.
As their various colored magic wands waved, a series of pale golden hexagram magic arrays began to form rapidly around them.
"Moonlight Desolation Bullet!"
"Blade of Moon!"
"Moon Spear Thrust!"
A moment later, accompanied by soft shouts, Orion Wolfe and the other four hovering above the castle saw the pale golden light of their magic wands intensify.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Within the next second, magical bullets, blades, and long spears, condensed from the pale golden light, shot out from the magic arrays surrounding the five, at lightning-fast speed.
They flew directly towards the group of black stone pterosaurs that were not far away and spreading their wings in flight.
Facing the five's magic attack.
The first black stone pterosaur, who bore the brunt of the attack, paused for a moment in midair.
It was then shattered by the whistling magic bullet, turning back into fine magical light particles, until it disappeared completely.
Without a doubt, this was Orion Wolfe's attack. She was at the peak of Tier 3 and, with her Tier 4 Magic Wand, naturally had the highest damage output among the five.
Next, the second black stone giant dragon, after being pierced by numerous Moon Spears.
It wobbled in the air for a while before finally crashing heavily to the ground, turning to dust as well.This hit was made by Orion Wolfe's City Lord father, who was at the peak of Tier 3 and wielding a Tier 3 Fine Metal Magic Staff.
Although slightly weaker in terms of attack power, his control over magic was exceptionally strong.
Each of the Moonlight Spears accurately struck the weakest joints of the Black Stone Pterosaur, rendering it unable to continue flying smoothly.
Afterward, the third, fourth, and fifth Black Stone Pterosaurs were struck by a barrage of Moonlight Blades on their wings.
Although they were not destroyed, they all fell to the ground, struggling and unable to get up.
All three Elders possessed the strength of Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses.
Similar to their City Lord friend and like the younger Orion Wolfe, they were slightly weaker in terms of raw strength but possessed greater precision.
At the same time, a fierce arrow rain shot by seventy Tier 2 Archers arrived.
A multitude of arrows came one after another, turning the three Black Stone Pterosaurs into porcupines and sending them falling down in a clumsy manner.
On the other side, seeing eight of their opponents eliminated at once, the soldiers cheered in excitement.
However, only Orion Wolfe and the others clearly understood the situation.
This was merely their advantage in long-range attacks due to the distance between the two sides.
Once the enemy neared, this advantage would vanish, and the situation would undoubtedly turn dire.
Following the next wave of arrows from the city wall's Arrow Tower,
The new round of chanting began once again.
However, this time, before the five of them finished their chant.
They saw the Black Stone Pterosaurs in front of them furiously attacking Orion Wolfe and the others, with their wings fluttering and emitting a strange black light, their sharp stone claws swinging ferociously!
"Retreat!"
As Orion Wolfe yelled,
With no choice, the five magic powerhouses hovering in mid-air had to throw out their incomplete offensive spells.
Their Magic Wings flapped, and they began to retreat hastily.
Undoubtedly, as long-range magic powerhouses, once they were surrounded by these Black Stone Pterosaurs, the situation would become quite troublesome.
On the other side, the remaining dozen or so Black Stone Pterosaurs split into two groups.
One group continued to attack Orion Wolfe and the others, while the other group swooped towards the Tier 2 soldiers below.
Due to the astonishing speed of the Black Stone Pterosaurs, everything happened in the blink of an eye, leaving many soldiers unable to react.
"Lightning Slash!"
Right as the first Black Stone Pterosaur was charging towards them head-on in a dive,
An X-shaped silver streak flashed across.
The diving Pterosaur was slashed into several sections, its stone body disintegrated into fine glowing particles before hitting the ground and scattering in the wind.
At the same time, a figure exuding an impressive aura gradually became clear.
It was Amelia, the maid with twin swords and braids flying in the air.
Her strength at the peak of Tier 3, combined with the addition of two Tier 4 Longswords, has elevated her explosive power to an extremely powerful level.
As Amelia lifted her swords,
The slower-reacting soldiers were only then able to counterattack the plunging Black Stone Pterosaurs under their respective commanders' orders.
At first, while defending with their neat and small square formations made of soldiers wielding shields and long spears,
No advantage was gained by the swooping and whistling Black Stone Pterosaurs.
However, after several fierce claw attacks,the soldiers at the edges of the formations began to scatter.
Some soldiers collided heavily with the crenellations, while others were directly lifted by Pterosaurs from behind and thrown into the nearby lake, splashing huge waves.
Fighting on the city wall quickly became chaotic, with an increasing number of wounded soldiers falling and screams filling the sky.
As for the running Black Stone Giants at the foot of the wall, they were already close to the precarious castle, shaking the ground as they approached.
