Chapter 291: Attack on the City, God's Descendant Failed (2/2)

Rumbling--

Amid the gunners' wild laughter, nearly a thousand magical cannons, with their thick and long barrels, lit up with extreme brilliance, and then a roar shook the sky, and nearly a thousand dazzling magic energy shells poured out like a meteor shower, cutting through the sky and hitting the fortress directly.

Every shelling was like the collapse of heaven and earth, shaking the very ground.

Smoke and dust billowed into the air, and flames shot into the sky.

"Defend, defend!"

From the towering energy magic tower, brilliant beams of light rose up, and then like a curtain of light, they enveloped the entire fortress.

The stone commander on the fortress had already activated the city's defense system before this. A steady stream of energy was drawn from the mountains and earth, turning into a thick energy shield that blocked the front of the fortress and intercepted all the incoming energy cannons.
The fierce artillery bombardment hit the energy shield, making a deafening explosion. Every impact caused the energy shield to shake violently. The stone warriors below couldn't help but tremble in fear when they saw this.

Fortunately, although the energy shield kept shaking, it remained extremely tough and never broke.

The Stoneman Commander's eyes were firm and calm, and his precise command enabled the fortress's defense system to perform at its maximum effectiveness.

"It's really troublesome, this kind of defense system built on terrain." Chang Li looked at the fortress standing still in front of him, frowned slightly, and felt a little troubled.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there are no other means, relying on this fortress, an army of hundreds of thousands can block an army of millions.

The terrain advantage is too obvious.

However, this is also related to the power held by the Stone Man True God. He can easily change the topography of the earth.

As his followers, the Stoneman believers are much inferior, but they also have this ability, so most of the territory of the Stoneman Empire is not natural landforms, but is formed by artificial transformation.

This kind of terrain is very suitable for stone men to fight.

Just like the fortress Santander in front of us, there is no need to do anything. Just connect the surrounding mountains to form an indestructible defense system, and then send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to be stationed there. A normal army, even with millions of people, will be overwhelmed.

However, having said that, Chang Li only felt that it was troublesome and was not discouraged. After all, this fortress was already within his intelligence.

The bombardment is still going on. The crystal energy needed for the magic cannon is a conventional resource for the Eternal Night Empire. The reserves are unlimited and can be consumed at will. There is no need to worry about running out.

The same is true for the Stoneman Fortress. Strictly speaking, the defense system of their fortress does not rely solely on crystal energy. The nearby mountains and land can provide support.

If it's just about blocking artillery bombardment, there's no problem at all holding out for a few months.

"Counterattack! Destroy those magic cannons!"

Seeing that the magic cannon could not break through the defensive shield, the stone man generals calmed down. As the situation stabilized, they launched a series of counterattacks under the command of the stone man generals.

The magic towers lit up brilliantly, and under the control of the Sanctuary-level Stoneman Magician, huge balls of magic energy condensed above the sky, and then smashed towards the positions of the black-armored army like meteorites.

"Exploding Earth Star!"

Under the expectant gazes of the stone men, the magic ball fell down with a bang and hit the location where the magic cannon was placed.

"A boring trick."

Chang Li took a look and commented.

Above the hundreds of thousands of black-armored troops, one of the war fortresses lit up with an extremely dark light, followed by a huge, constantly rotating black hole, like a shield, blocking the way of the many magic balls.

shhhhh--

Puff puff--

The magic ball smashed into the black hole, like mud flowing into the sea, and instantly sank into silence without a sound.

Then, before the Stone Man soldiers on the fortress could react, a huge rotating black hole appeared again in the sky above the war fortress, and was aimed towards the Stone Man Fortress.

"I'll give it back to you!" The magic demigod chuckled.

"not good!"

The stone man leader Mario's face suddenly changed, and he immediately said: "Increase the energy output of the defense shield to the maximum and be prepared for the impact." As soon as he finished speaking, countless magic balls shot out from the black hole and bombarded the war fortress.

There was no time to react at all, and the magic ball appeared in front of him in an instant.

bang bang bang-

A series of explosions sounded in front of the fortress, like a string of cannonballs, shocking the hearts of every stone man present. Each explosion was accompanied by a dazzling light and billowing smoke and dust. Under the violent impact, the energy shield made a dull sound and began to shake violently, as if it could break at any time.

Fortunately, the Stoneman Leader Mario reacted quickly enough and increased the output of the energy shield to the maximum regardless of the energy consumption. Otherwise, he might not be able to withstand the double attack of magic balls and magic cannons.

It has to be said that this fortress of the Stoneman Empire was done very well in all aspects, whether it was the terrain selection or the construction of the defense system.

But there is one bad thing: the garrison in the fortress is not strong enough.

Whether it is weapons and equipment, prop scrolls, or battleships and fortresses, they are ultimately just external objects, auxiliary tools.

The final decision on victory or defeat lies with the user.

It will become clear with the most obvious change.

In previous battles, the soldiers in the army were still mainly low-level soldiers. At that time, the city wall of more than ten meters was like an insurmountable natural moat for ordinary soldiers. Every siege would cause huge damage.

But now, a city wall several hundred meters high would be breached in an instant if it was not protected by an energy shield or magic circle.

As time goes by, the effective proportion of the warrior's own strength in combat has become higher and higher.

Compared with the Eternal Night Army, the stone men in the Santander Fortress are several levels lower in strength, so even if they occupy the advantage of terrain, they are of little use.

In the following period, neither side sent troops to fight.

They bombarded with magic cannons while fighting back with magic towers. The battle was back and forth and the scene was very intense, but the number of casualties was less than three digits.

The Eternal Night Army is not in a hurry. They have sufficient logistical support, so there will be no problem at all even if they spend a few months here.

Moreover, they have already started building a teleportation gate in the back.

Once the teleportation gate is built, a steady stream of servant armies will pour in.

The attackers were in no hurry, and the stone men defending the fortress were even less anxious.

Their follow-up support troops are on the way, and the logistical supplies stored in the fortress are enough for them to spend for a long time.

So, the two sides fought back and forth.

It lasted for three full days.

"Now that we have figured out the details, there is no need to waste time."

Chang Li looked at the fortress in the distance, smiled coldly, and then launched a full-scale attack.

Two war fortresses and hundreds of magic warships were activated at the same time. The dark magicians inside began to exert their strength. The entire sky suddenly dimmed and darkness began to cover the land.

Dark elements from hundreds of miles around gathered together. The soldiers of the Eternal Night Army roared to the sky, making deafening roars, with crazy lights flashing in their eyes. In this dark veil, they seemed to feel the gaze of the God of Darkness.

One by one, the magic warships began to gather energy, and their main guns began to light up brilliantly, like stars twinkling in the night sky. These magic warships, like bright lights in the darkness, illuminated the battlefield and the hearts of every Eternal Night Warrior.

As the light lit up, the battleship's main gun began to charge, and energy condensed at the muzzle, forming a dazzling light. This was the condensation of magical energy, the combination of technology and magic, and the masterpiece of the Eternal Night Empire.

"Defense! Defense! Activate the strongest defense and stop them!"

"Try your best to knock those iron lumps down for me!"

The stone men in the fortress did not sit still and wait for death. While raising the city's defense level, they launched a fierce attack on the magic warships above the sky.

Thick magic spears and magic balls emitting explosive auras were shot at the magic warships, as dense as raindrops, forming a sea of ​​magic.

Every shot was like a thunderbolt, shaking the battlefield and touching the hearts of every Stoneman warrior.

However, the reality was extremely cruel. Under the protection of the two war fortresses, these magical attacks were directly offset before they even got close.

"emission!"

Following an order, hundreds of brilliant beams of magic energy poured out like a meteor shower, cutting through the sky and hitting the fortress directly.

Rumbling--

The sky shattered and the earth collapsed.

The Stoneman Fortress raised an even thicker energy shield.

At the same time, huge stone barriers rose up on the ground in front of the city wall, like shields raised by warriors, protecting the city fortress behind.

On the mountains on both sides, accompanied by the falling of a large amount of rocks, the vast elemental power turned into countless golden beams and shot forward.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The energy net composed of the attacking golden light beams was instantly pierced by the dark energy cannon and turned into invisible. Then, the boulder barrier was also shattered.

Under the horrified gaze of the stone men, countless dark beams descended.

dong dong dong-

The energy shield covering the fortress continued to ripple. The terrifying impact brought by the dark light beam caused it to cave inward, and huge black spots appeared.

The two huge forces continued to confront each other and began to dissolve each other.

However, it is obvious that as time goes by, the dark beam becomes less powerful. After all, the Stoneman Fortress is built on the earth. As long as it is not breached instantly, it has endless energy and does not require anything to consume.

However, the offensive of the Eternal Night Army went far beyond this.

I saw that the war fortress that was originally located in front of the magic warship and served as a guard had now risen to a height of several thousand meters.

Two magical demigods rose high up and stood on the platform.

The magicians in the war fortresses also began to exert their strength. In an instant, the two war fortresses were firing at full power, and a terrifying aura began to spread.

"Under the might of my Lord, turn into ashes!"

The two demigods of Eternal Night revealed their true forms and transformed into elemental giants hundreds of meters tall. The magic wands in their hands intertwined, and a magic ball filled with extreme darkness condensed on them.

With a roar from the two, the magic ball shot out immediately, instantly crossing a distance of tens of thousands of meters and directly arriving in front of the energy shield.

bang——

A shocking explosion sounded.

There was no time to stop it. Even the Stone God who was watching the battle in the sky was a beat too slow and failed to stop it in time.

The energy shield shattered, and the black ball devoured and corroded everything in front of it in a blink of an eye. No matter whether it was props or stone soldiers, they all disappeared without a trace.

A semicircular gap with a radius of more than ten meters was smashed into the majestic tall city wall, and inside the fortress, a "road" that stretched for thousands of meters and was bottomless was plowed out.

"Damn it! Stop them, stop them, go and repair the magic circle, don't let them rush over!"

The Stoneman Leader who escaped the disaster still had a look of shock on his face. The black ball was less than ten meters away from him. If it was any closer, he would have died.

However, as a qualified general, he quickly suppressed his fear and began to command the panicked stone soldiers.

But the Eternal Night Army obviously didn't want to give him this opportunity.

"attack!"

Chang Li remained calm and revealed another trump card. The power of the entire legion began to gather and finally concentrated on a demigod warrior in front.

The aura of the demigod warrior began to soar, and in the blink of an eye, he stepped into the threshold of a powerful demigod.

Roaring, his body expanded rapidly and turned into a dark giant hundreds of meters tall.

The dark giant sword in his hand flashed with dazzling black light, and the surrounding dark forces began to respond to the call and gathered together.

"Open it for me!"

The giant sword was swung down, and the dark sword energy hundreds of meters long slashed straight towards the fortress wall in front.

The sky cracked.

"Do not!!!"

Looking at the oncoming dark sword energy, all the stone men looked despairing.

"Damn it! Do you really think I don't exist?"

The dwarf true god above the sky, seeing this scene, could no longer bear it, and his figure flashed, wanting to rely on the faith of the believers below to descend directly. However, as soon as he took action, a layer of darkness spread around him.

bang——

The extremely solid fortress wall was directly split open, leaving a gap nearly 100 meters wide.

"Break the city today!"

The demigod legion commander roared again, then slowly fell to the ground, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

The other Eternal Night Warriors naturally could not see his weakness. Instead, they were completely ignited by his actions.

The Earth Dragon Knight rushed out first, riding his majestic Earth Dragon mount like a heavy tank, passing the metal giant warriors and galloping towards the gap in the city wall.

However, although they rushed fast, there were legions that were faster than them.

A cavalry corps armed with scimitars, like a gust of wind, arrived first after coming from behind, turned into an afterimage, instantly surpassed the dragon knights, and rushed into the gap first.
