Dozens of Black-tailed Swallow reserve members lined the sides, while One-Eyed led the remaining formal Black-tailed Swallow members in a rapid assault on the city walls!
Their speed was astonishing, far surpassing the soldiers advancing in formation around them. The surrounding soldier formations moved like slow snails, while the Black-tailed Swallow legion surged like a bolt of lightning, giving the defending army no chance to react as they crashed forward.
"Marana's energy attack requires a long charge-up. We're waiting for her first attack to finish!"
"Once we evade Marana's attack, no one in the entire capital can harm us in the slightest!"
One-Eyed declared as he reached the city wall. The Black-tailed Swallow members around him wove a massive energy net, nullifying and reflecting all nearby attacks.
"But... with this city wall's thickness, I fear even we would find it difficult to break through!"
"Our energy defense can only last for 45 hours. I hope that's enough time for you to breach the wall!" a member beside him said.
"It won't take 45 hours, only a dozen minutes!" One-Eyed replied. He took out a small vial from his chest and sprinkled its contents onto the city wall.
"Is that a corrosive agent? But to corrode through such a thick wall, this little bit of corrosive agent won't be nearly enough!" the trainee member muttered softly.
"Hush, don't speak nonsense. This is our Black-tailed Swallow Legion's commander. His decisions are never wrong!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone felt a tremor from the ground beneath their feet. Then, large swathes of soil began to liquefy, flowing like water.
"Quick, move back a bit!" One-Eyed retreated several steps. Countless burrowing insects emerged from underground, their saliva rapidly corroding and sandifying the city wall...
"The commander can actually control burrowing insects? That's incredible!"
"As expected of the commander; he truly possesses many unimaginable items and abilities!"
"No wonder we launched a full-scale attack from the start. The attack wasn't the objective; it was to disperse the enemy's firepower so we could break through the city!"
"Exactly. The enemy would never have imagined that we could already infiltrate the city."
The trainees beamed with joy, as they were participating in a holy war to eliminate the True God Cult. Once this war was won, it would undoubtedly become a great campaign in history, comparable to the ancient holy wars. Then, the names of everyone who participated in the battle would be etched in books, forever passed down and revered by future generations, just as they revered the ancient sages.
At this moment, Dolores on the city wall, her brow furrowed. She had noticed the strange movements of the Black-tailed Swallow Legion and knew they must have a way to breach the city wall, but she was helpless. Facing enemies dozens of times her troop strength, even defense was barely manageable, and she couldn't spare any troops to stop the Black-tailed Swallow Legion's actions. Furthermore, she had no one among her subordinates who could contend with the Black-tailed Swallow Legion. Their only reliance now was the thick city wall beneath them; once it was breached and street fighting began, it would be a one-sided slaughter.
"Move all the cultists and imperial troops to this position. The enemy might breach the city!" Dolores said to the Fox-tailed Tribe leader beside her.
"Breach the city? This..." The Fox-tailed Tribe leader was slightly surprised, then understood. It was time for a fight to the death.
"For the True God!" she roared.
"For the True God!" the beast-eared tribe members on the city wall shouted, their morale soaring.
At this time, soldiers below the city also began to gather. Gradually, some True God Cult believers and beast-eared civilians spontaneously formed militia groups and joined the defending army. However, they lacked proper weapons, only possessing implements like forks and cleavers. While such items were adequate for skirmishes, they would be rendered useless in just a few rounds against an enemy legion armed to the teeth. Frankly, their participation would, at best, increase numbers and buy time, having almost no impact on the war's outcome.
"Sisters, it's time to prove our devotion to the True God!" the Centaur tribe members roared first. Tens of thousands of Centaur civilians, all armed, picked up bows, stones, and spears, charging towards the designated location.
*Boom! Whoosh!*
A muffled thud. The city wall had indeed been breached, leaving a large hole. The Black-tailed Swallow Legion, like black specters of death, stormed into the city, killing anyone they encountered. Despite their ferocity, the Centaur tribe was no match for the Black-tailed Swallow Legion, suffering countless casualties in an instant.
