Jiang Hao was very depressed.

The volley of cannon fire had shaken the entire valley, and he, standing on the cliffside walkway, was caught off guard and nearly thrown off the cliff. Fortunately, he managed to grab a rope on the side of the walkway and then his summoned creature. After being swung around several times, he finally managed to stand on the walkway again.

Zhen Nantian must have used energy crystal cannonballs, otherwise the power couldn't have been so great.

Fortunately, he and the little skeleton were far enough away from the city wall that the little skeleton's men were not affected by the cannonballs. Looking at the deep trench blasted out by the cannonballs in front of the city wall, Jiang Hao had no doubt that if the cannonballs had hit here, the little skeleton's men would have been instantly annihilated.

At this moment, the little skeleton's minions were engaged in a fierce battle with monsters at the foot of the cliff. Most of those skeleton monsters were level 25 bronze-level monsters with a whopping 270,000 HP. However, thanks to Jiang Hao's talent's extremely high damage bonus, the little skeleton's minions could still instantly kill them. Afterward, their HP bars turned from red to green, and they joined the ranks of the little skeleton's minions.

Like a plague, it spread silently in front of the city wall at the central pass.

Jiang Hao glanced at the city wall and saw that there wasn't a single skeleton monster left on the black rocks in front of the wall. Jiang Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems we've held on for now.

However, the energy crystal cannon can only temporarily delay these bronze-level monsters. Once the energy crystals are depleted, even if Zhen Nantian sends all his soldiers to the city walls, he may not be able to stop these bronze-level monsters.

Of the 50,000 soldiers in the Zhenyuan Legion, only 10,000 were Bronze-level warriors. The remaining 40,000 Iron-level elite soldiers had already become useless when the Bronze-level monsters appeared.

unless......

Unless all those elite soldiers are assigned to his team!

Just like when I went to the Energy Crystal Mine with the City Lord before.

His talent damage has now reached over 2.5 million, and teammates can enjoy a 10% damage bonus, which is a little over 250,000. With this true damage bonus, he might actually be able to hold his own!

Jiang Hao glanced at the little skeleton who was still busy pulling and fighting monsters, then turned and walked towards the city wall.

Looking at the large pit in front of the city wall, a white skeletal arm suddenly emerged, and Zhen Nantian felt a chill run down his spine.

The skeletal arm gripped the rocks above, and then another skeletal arm emerged, revealing a white skull.

Zhen Nantian was horrified.

He knew how powerful the silver-grade energy crystal projectiles were.

Let alone bronze-level monsters, even silver-level skeleton monsters could be instantly blasted to pieces, and even gold-level monsters would inevitably be severely injured.

That monster must be a high-level leader without a doubt!

Watching the skeletal monster slowly crawl out of the pit and stand alone before the ravine, Zhen Nantian felt a sudden sense of powerlessness.

Dark Gold Grade!

A Dark Gold-tier skeleton monster leader has appeared here. So how could its skeleton army only be Iron and Bronze-tier?

"Crossbowmen, prepare to take aim!"

Zhen Nantian's frantic command echoed throughout the Central Pass. The sound of gears whirring immediately filled the city walls. Hundreds of thick crossbow bolts were already aimed at the dark gold-level skeleton monster.

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows! Fire arrows!"

With a whoosh, a crossbow bolt as thick as an adult's forearm was fired, whistling through the air, appearing as if teleported right in front of the skeletal monster's head. The skeletal monster merely tilted its head slightly, and the bolt passed right by its head. This scene sent chills down Zhen Nantian's spine.

Another crossbow bolt reached its chest, but it easily dodged it by slightly shifting its body to the side. A dozen giant crossbow bolts flew towards its entire body, but it dodged them all again by dodging to the right. Dozens of bolts rained down like arrows, blocking all its escape routes, yet it moved back and forth between the bolts like a ghostly sprite. Hundreds of bolts struck, but not a single one hit its mark.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The crossbow bolts pierced the rocks in the ravine behind it, the energy crystals inside exploding with immense energy that seemed to overturn the entire canyon. The soldiers on the city wall were thrown about by the shockwave. Zhen Nantian, unable to grasp the hilt of his commanding blade in time, tumbled headfirst off the general's platform. Trembling violently, Zhen Nantian quickly scrambled to his feet and saw the dark gold-grade skeletal monster still standing in the ravine in front of the city wall. The energy surge from the explosion of hundreds of silver-grade energy crystals hadn't harmed it in the slightest!

A rain of rocks began to fall in the canyon, with stones of all sizes raining down from the sky, which the skeleton easily dodged one by one.

Even though no more skeleton monsters appeared behind the ravine, Zhen Nantian still felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Let alone 3 days, if that skeleton leader is willing, the Zhongfeng Pass will probably fall in the next moment!

Zhen Nantian leaned against the General's Platform and slumped to the ground in dejection.

"General, General..."

The shouts of his men rang out around him.

"It's meaningless, it's meaningless."

Zhen Nantian seemed like a walking corpse, ignoring the soldiers' shouts, staring blankly ahead, muttering to himself.

"It's over, it's all over..."

Jiang Hao ran to the city wall and saw Zhen Nantian slumped on the ground, looking like a fool.

The soldiers, some holding shields, some carrying spears, and some with bows drawn, were looking in terror at the skeletal monster rapidly approaching the city walls.

The pride and honor of the Zhenyuan Legion vanished at this moment.

Jiang Hao looked at the skeleton monster that was moving too fast and leaving afterimages, and raised the staff in his hand.

As the staff fell, the skeletal monster vanished instantly. The people on the city wall were horrified and hurriedly searched around. Turning their heads, they saw that the skeletal monster was kneeling in front of Jiang Hao under his staff. Its head, which had been raised all the time, finally lowered, revealing a protruding rebellious bone on the back of its head.

This scene was like a monster suddenly attacking Commander Jiang, only to be stopped in time by Commander Jiang.

But what exactly happened during this period?

None of them could see it clearly.

The soldiers on the city wall reacted immediately. Some stood frozen in shock, mouth agape; some stumbled back several steps; some turned and fled into the distance; and some drew their swords and spears. In an instant, chaos erupted on the city wall.

No one believed that Jiang Hao could truly stop the monster. The volley of crossbow bolts that had just been fired had failed to harm the monster in the slightest, shattering the morale of all the soldiers on the city wall. The fact that they hadn't all abandoned the city and fled was a testament to their elite troops.

A two-star adventurer who's only a dozen or so levels high?

Are you kidding me!
