Ashen Dragon
Chapter 763 - Chapter 763 Chapter 124 Collapsed City Wall

Chapter 763: Chapter 124: Collapsed City Wall Chapter 763: Chapter 124: Collapsed City Wall “Indeed, a weapon from the Empire of Fadlan’s era, capable of easily destroying our tanks, but… since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to hold back anymore.”

The Great Goblin watched the overhead imagery passed by the Bipedal Wyverns, and sneered coldly.

“Just like His Majesty Cassius once said – ‘kill the chicken to scare the monkeys’. Now, Saint Theo City is that chicken about to be slaughtered. I will show all Aisier people… the consequences of resisting the Empire.”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, a ruthless glint shining through his murky yellow eyes, his entire crimson, scaled face brimming with ferocity.

This Great Goblin officer is the Commander-in-Chief of the 4th Blitzkrieg group army besieging Saint Theo, the distinguished Dragonblood Marquess — Arturo Red Ridge.

As a confidant of Duke Dolores and an important member of the Imperial Military, a representative of the “Extreme Hawks”, Arturo would not let such an opportunity slip by.

Arturo unsheathed his military saber from his waist in a swift motion, raising it high and bellowing with a robust voice: “All troops, follow the command–attack with full force! Reduce this city to ashes!”

The Great Goblin’s face twisted ferociously, spittle flying, the golden stars on his shoulders shining brightly.

His roar was transmitted by the Magic Communicator producing unlimited electromagnetic waves, to every tank and every war vehicle on the battlefield.

Before the sound died away, the entire battlefield erupted with furious roars, the ground shaking violently, even swaying, with endless flames and thick smoke rising into the sky.

The battlefield boiled over completely!

“Boom–”

Over a hundred tanks fired in unison, the ground shaking intensely under the powerful recoil, collapsing downward while black smoke from the barrels obscured half the sky.

Dazzling flames in a line shot through the sky, trailing smoke, the artillery shells zipping through the sky crisscrossing into a dense fireweb, all bombarding the tall, sturdy walls of Saint Theo.

“Boom!”

In an instant, fierce explosions made the entire city shake unstoppably, the surging flames almost engulfing the whole city, rolling smoke enveloping the skies above Saint Theo.

“Oh Amanata! Is today the apocalypse?”

“How can we make this all stop! I don’t want to be involved in this war!”

“This, this is death…”

People looked up at the smoke-filled sky, witnessing this apocalyptic scene, uttering frightened, frantic screams.

At this moment, facing such a disastrous spectacle, the residents of Saint Theo had completely lost their reason, scattering everywhere, the city’s order in utter chaos.

Impacted by the explosions, the protective array outside Saint Theo City flickered continuously, spiderweb-like cracks appearing on it, the walls shaking intensely, even causing several soldiers to lose footing and fall, crashing into a bloody mess.

Karen stood on the city tower, lifting his longsword, gritting his teeth and pointing towards the distance: “Warriors! Do not retreat, crush them!”

Next to the Sun God Crossbow, soldiers put in all their effort to turn the winch, continuously loading Giant Arrows, but with the smoke obscuring their vision, they were even unable to aim properly.

Light Arrows streaked across the sky, only to disappear into the smoke and dust, insignificant compared to the Ashen Empire’s sky-filling artillery fire.

Seeing the protective array dim and crack, Karen turned urgently towards the group of Mages, “Mr. Zalan, can you and your colleagues repair our protective array?”

Zalan shook his head with a heavy countenance, sighing, “With our strength, we can only maintain the ‘King of Radiance’ above the city, we no longer have the capacity to upkeep such a complex protective array.

Lord Karen, the onslaught from the Ashen Empire is too fierce, far beyond anyone’s expectation, I think… we won’t hold out much longer.”

Karen frowned: “Are you saying… that I should give up this city?

You want me to hand over Saint Theo City, belonging to the Empire of Fadlan, to the Ashen Empire? Like rats scurrying away in darkness?”

His expression became agitated, his tone turning sharp, rage flaring in his golden pupils.

“Lord Karen, now is not the time for stubbornness, please step out of the illusions of the past and look around…”

Zalan raised his gaze, pointing with his Magic Wand towards the sky enveloped in smoke and flame, his voice incredibly solemn.

“The fall of Saint Theo City is inevitable, we have no means to stop its arrival.

Lord Karen, please preserve your own strength, do not act rashly now… the only thing that might turn the situation around is the decisive battle at Collins City.”

Karen knew, Zalan wasn’t wrong, under the fierce artillery bombardment of the Ashen Empire, even he, who styled himself as Divine Descendant, couldn’t turn the tide.

The Sun God Crossbow on the walls of Saint Theo City could bring down giant dragons but was insufficient to counter an organized, steel behemoth-formed Armored Corps.

But he was still unwilling, in his mind, Fadlan was the symbol of conquest, victory, and glory, they should conquer the world, how could they fall to invaders, losing their territory?

Karen remained silent for a long while, then murmured in a low voice: “Mr. Zalan, I cannot give up the lands of Fadlan…”

“Boom!”

Another deafening explosion made the city walls tremble, the Ashen Empire’s specially designed armor-piercing bullets with antimagic effects finally penetrating the protective array.

Following that, several similar shells arrived one after another, creating a series of explosions.
