The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 790 - 560 Thunder Flash Strike War

Chapter 790: Chapter 560 Thunder Flash Strike War

The first wave of explosions bloomed in front of the gates of the Dwarf Fortress just before dusk could completely hide beyond the mountains.

The sturdy walls still stood firm amidst the bombing, but it also signaled the start of war.

The Dwarves hidden within the fortress were caught off guard by the sudden bombardment.

"Hurry up!"

"What’s going on?"

The robust Dwarves, only a bit short in the neck, rushed out from their rooms, heading quickly to the prepared battle area, which resembled a long track where everyone could sequentially grab a standard weapon, followed by shields, and at the very front were bows, arrows, and various Alchemical Tools.

The team’s assembly was organized and systematic.

"What has been detected?" the Knight in charge of the fortress’s defense asked loudly, "And our Magic Barrier?"

Within Misty Rain City, they seemed to have renounced communication with the outside world, but as long as it didn’t involve the surroundings, they could live here happily... forever so.

Responding to the Knight was a Believer of the Mechanical God Cult, shrouded in a loose, enormous robe, with any exposed parts of his body made entirely of Magic Metal: "They’ve destroyed our Barrier."

"What?!"

On the real-time sand table display before them, the Magic Barrier that could detect enemy attacks had allocated hundreds of detection points, each in a location that was incredibly hard to reach.

And with the destruction of any detection points, the magical alarm would spread the Barrier, thus entering a defensive and counterattack state immediately.

But somehow, the enemy managed to destroy all the detection points simultaneously in an instant, even cutting off the energy supply conduit of the Barrier, causing all their defense and countermeasures to be stillborn before they could be deployed.

On the sand table, it was visible that a rain of bombardments was already heading towards the fortress; they did not know who they were up against, nor how to respond.

"Counterattack!"

The Knight shouted.

Without the Barrier alarm, the fortress’s defense array did not counterattack immediately; it required manual operation.

The gears on the Believers of the Mechanical God Cult began to spin frantically as those Magic Cannon turrets raised their barrels.

A figure wielding dual swords ran swiftly, with a hunchbacked woman running beside him. They broke through the city gates, and their bodies, as if tied by invisible ropes, spun swiftly, striking out with their swords.

Most of the turrets had not managed to function before they were destroyed, completely turning into Magic waste.

Fortunately, some cannons that slipped through were successfully activated.

The pale blue Magic Energy of the cannon muzzles contracted, releasing Magic.

However, what they faced was not a disciplined army; this might sound strange, but that’s how it was.

The invading attackers were terribly disorganized in troop deployment, completely fragmented, fighting individually without coordination, even causing collisions and conflicts among each other.

But as they drew near, the situation changed.

"They’re attacking our Magic Circle, these madmen, blocking the cannon muzzles with their bodies?" The Knight could not help but curse out loud, when had there been such a bunch of lunatics in this world, whose Believers were they?

"I knew these pieces of junk wouldn’t be useful!" a voice came from behind.

The Knight turned to look at the newcomer with annoyance in his eyes.

But still he said, "We don’t know who the enemy is, not why they’ve come, only that they’re powerful."

"Yes, powerful, and that’s all we need to know," the Bald Knight stroked his head, "All we need to know, counterattack!"

"You want to open the fortress’s main gate?"

After the city gate was breached, they still had many Magic Mechanical capabilities for a makeshift resistance, but opening the main gate of the fortress was tantamount to taking off their armor, inviting others to harm them.

"No way!"

"We must take the initiative to attack; their strength isn’t that great," the Bald Knight said, "There are only some Rank 5 and Rank 6 powerhouses, and we have those too."

They do, but not as many as the enemy.

They are shamelessly pressing us with an absolute advantage in both quantity and quality.

Moreover, to win with fewer against many?

If they wanted to rely on the powerhouses within the Dwarf Fortress, they should defend rather than give up their advantage and attack, dragging the war out until the enemy gave up.

To step out of the fortress would be like walking into a pride of lions, a path to certain death.

Boom!!

The fortress was bombarded, with countless attacks pounding on the gates, the attackers possessing an intense and fervent desire to assault.

"A mad army!"

"Can’t worry about that now, engage them," the Bald Knight said, "Our Soldiers may be few, but we don’t need weaklings of Rank 2."

The enemy is strong, but the overall strength averages around Rank 2, they are fewer in number, but they have many at Rank 3 and Rank 4.

It won’t take long before the fortress’s gate is torn down like a mad dog by the enemy.

Who could have imagined that this fortress of "superior humans," emblematic of arrogance and pride, would have its defenses so quickly breached and the enemy brought face-to-face in such a short time.

The fortress’s gate was pockmarked.

On the other side of the door, Magic Energy swiftly constructs the military fortress within.

This colossal Dwarf Fortress, with its towering height of hundreds of meters, was the perfect fusion of true architectural technique and design aesthetics; anyone walking into this place would feel like a "Dwarf," not out of modesty, but arrogance and pride.

The Dwarf Army was fully prepared; they took deep breaths, starting with prayers to don their protective Shields.
