Chapter 588: City of Warriors

“Boom—”

A loud noise accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground occurred near the Red Lion City, and the dragon fell to the ground again.

Fortunately, although it may sound like persecuting Moore, everyone was well prepared for this fall, so they were basically not hurt too much.

"It has completely become a battlefield."

Vann looked back and saw that the road in front of the Red Lion City gate, which was full of roadblocks, was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

After that round of bombardment, the monsters fell to the ground like garbage. Even the Corrupted Aegis was no exception. Because of its huge body, it was hit hard by the Dragon Slayer Cannon. It fell to the ground and staggered for a long time without being able to get up.

It’s not like the adventurers haven’t seen city defense weapons before, but it’s really unheard of to have city defense weapons as powerful as the one used by the Red Lion City that can directly knock down large groups of powerful monsters. It’s unknown whether the garrison forces of the capitals of various countries can do the same thing.

However, such a powerful city defense weapon is obviously not something that can be used casually. After a round of shelling, there was no movement. It might be busy with reloading, etc.

Then, in order to destroy the monsters that have fallen to the ground but are not dead, we need the swords and knives in the hands of the soldiers on the ground.

The sound of fighting filled the air. Soldiers who were good at hunting wild beasts, wearing flames that could resist the scarlet corruption, faced the corrupt breath spewed by Aegkiss and rushed towards the hordes of monsters fearlessly.

The stunning visual effects are enough to amaze you again and again, and it is the pure taste of magical war.

"What an amazing fighting power." Vann couldn't help but sigh. He had observed carefully that the Red Lion soldiers here also had haggard faces and were as mentally ill as the Greg soldiers, but they were still able to perform their duties as soldiers and even burst out with powerful fighting power when facing siege beasts.

He is still puzzled. If he hadn't turned into a werewolf, it wouldn't have been too difficult for him to deal with more than ten soldiers at the same time. But after turning into a werewolf who is theoretically more powerful, he couldn't defeat them. This is quite depressing.

If you look closely, you can see that among the monsters who were happily fighting, Abe was actually getting too excited and even used combo skills with the monsters against the soldiers.

And those monsters often stare blankly at Abe after completing a set of combo skills. Do they vaguely remember that they are not hostile to each other?

But Abe was obviously having too much fun. Anyway, his mission was to delay the enemy's actions. Monsters and soldiers were all enemies, so it didn't matter how hard he tried to delay them.

This reflects the dragon race's strong physical fitness. Regardless of the damage, he can knock down a large number of enemies by just swinging his tail or turning over. This is a good way to delay time. If a human adventurer were here, he probably wouldn't be able to do this.

"Let's go quickly and don't waste Abe's fight." Yufei made an encouraging gesture to Abe, turned around and walked towards the closed door, apparently intending to break it in violently.

"Wait, I just saw the path." x2

Seeing that everyone was about to follow Yufei, Vann spoke immediately, but he didn't expect Tammy to speak at this time.

The two looked at each other, as if they were praising the other for being so careful in observation.

Luluwo, who was standing behind Tammy, folded her arms and nodded secretly, thinking that Tammy had finally become a successful apprentice.

The path they were talking about was actually a steep cliff surrounding the side of the city. From here, you couldn't see where the path led to. Maybe it wasn't a path at all? But if you encountered a closed gate in the Thane Underground City and saw something that looked like a path, you would definitely go to the path first to take a look.

These words convinced Yufei. She vaguely remembered that Gapar seemed to have said something similar, so she gave up attacking the main gate and instead decided to climb the cliff.

But at this moment, something strange happened. A roar was heard from above, followed by a loud bang of something heavy falling to the ground.

Everyone subconsciously raised their hands to block the wind and sand, only to see a mountain monster wearing an oversized red lion soldier's armor falling in front of them, with a huge sword in his hand burning with flames.

"The Red Lion Legion even has mountain goblins?"

As soon as they met, the mountain demon swung his giant sword and used his combat skill [Flame Strike] to immediately sweep a storm of fire towards everyone.

Everyone was thinking of defending in various ways, but a huge green figure pounced from behind, spewing thick green poisonous gas from its mouth, which actually melted the flames brought by the flame attack in an instant. Then the green figure knocked the mountain monster to the ground, and used its strong limbs to hit the mountain monster's head left and right.

It was Moore, who had finally recovered from the impact of the fall.

"Roar!" A dull roar came from his throat, meaning that he would hold the fort here and let everyone go first.

"You're very reliable, big guy!" Luluwo gave the other party a thumbs up, turned around and ran towards the south of the cliff with the people around her. Everyone was not a pretentious person, and after remembering Moore's efforts, they rushed towards the cliff.

By the time they climbed up the cliff, the sounds of the battlefield seemed to have weakened, and the smell of gunpowder could no longer reach people.

It is not easy to climb the steep cliff, and there are many bat monsters taller and bigger than humans living there. You can encounter one every two steps. There is even an old bat lady hanging on a tree and singing. The shock waves emitted from their mouths are enough to shake an adult off the cliff.

In the end, it was Luluwo who used chains to tie a safety rope for everyone, and installed all the chains on Yuffie, who had absolutely no chance of being knocked down by the shock wave. It took some time before they successfully reached the top.

The result lived up to everyone's expectations. The cliff was indeed connected to the wall of Red Lion City, although no one knew where this section of the wall led to.

But the fact that they were able to successfully enter the city made people feel that the gain was worth the effort.

Vann and Tammy sneaked over and took care of the soldiers standing guard on the city wall, then declared this section of the wall safe and looked down at the city they had longed for.

The entire Red Lion City cannot be seen from this position. This city, which is like a military fortress, is still too large, and it naturally gives people a very spectacular feeling.

It is not like the city of Stonewell, which is shrouded in the atmosphere of storms and haze, nor is it as strange and terrifying as the limb replacement warehouse.

The red sky coated the entire Red Lion City with a layer of blood-like color. Broken Red Lion battle flags could be seen everywhere in the city. Bonfires symbolizing war could be seen every few steps, and there were often weapon racks piled with weapons next to them. It was as if war could break out at any time and anywhere.

Coupled with the sounds of soldiers fighting monsters outside, the entire city was shrouded in an atmosphere called "war".

Even though there were kitchens and other places in Stonewell where one could relax by a warm fire, this was not possible in Red Lion. Every detail here made people highly nervous, and their minds could not rest for a moment, as if they were in a real battlefield.

Although they have been in dangerous adventures for many years, Luluwo and others still showed a feeling of discomfort, and they got goose bumps just by staying here.

Perhaps the only one present who seemed to be able to adapt to the battlefield atmosphere was Yufei.

“I love the atmosphere here.”

Yuffie removed the chains wrapped around her body, breathed in the air stained with fire and blood, and looked quite impressed, muttering to herself:

"Okay, where is General Shatterstar? Where is the old man who was spying on us? Is he in the deepest part of the city?"

She couldn't wait to do a great job, and no one could stop her excitement, which infected everyone else.

“Well, I think it’s best for everyone to come and take a look.”

But just as everyone was gearing up for a big fight, Tammy, who was checking the situation in the city with Vann, uttered a trembling voice.

It was as if he had seen something scary, but at the same time he seemed excited, which gave people a very strange feeling.

"What's wrong? Is this your first time experiencing this kind of situation so you're scared?"

Luluwo walked up to her and patted Tammy on the shoulder like a good society lady, saying, "We have seen a lot of storms and waves, but if it's just a city, it shouldn't scare you, right?"

"No, you should take a look first!"

Tammy reached out and pressed Luluwo's ​​head, twisted her neck to the right and put the telescope over her eyes, allowing her to get a good look at the situation in the city.

At first glance, Luluwo was full of confidence.

At the second glance, Luluwo's ​​smile gradually disappeared.

At the third glance, Luluwo’s eyelids began to twitch wildly.

"What happened?"

Yufei couldn't help but come over and took a look at the real situation in the city. Her eyes suddenly widened.

Then he couldn't help but whistle happily, like a trainer who saw his favorite Pokémon appear in large numbers in front of him.

If we were to describe the situation inside Red Lion City in a purely plain way, it would be something like this:

The Crucible Knight sat on the steps, silently wiping the greatsword in his hand. The power of the Crucible was heavy and powerful.

The lion hybrid was walking around a little anxiously, occasionally yelling at the red lion soldiers on guard, with his hair and beard standing on end.

The blood noble leaned against the shadow of the corner, the dagger in his hand stabbing backwards and dripping blood, the gorgeous rapier hidden in the black robe.

The Ancient Dragon Knight stood there like a sculpture, looking like he was gathering his strength, with thunder gathering on the tip of his spear.

The magician was reviewing his last spell, the fully-armed demi-human was banging his shield, and the mountain goblin knight of unknown affiliation was cleaning his wounds.

The enemies gathered inside Red Lion City are like an all-star gathering of Sean!

"What is going on?"

Fann could sense that among those various people below, even the sub-humans had tremendous fighting spirit and were definitely not ordinary people. The worst one was an elite!

Why would these guys who obviously don't belong to the same camp and may even be enemies gather here and even seem to be coexisting peacefully?

The scene before them was enough to make the adventurer's pupils tremble!

It was at this moment that Yuffie noticed the flash of the telescope again, and she quickly looked up into the distance.

On top of the familiar tall tower, the old man with the pointed hat appeared again and was observing them.

But this time he was holding something in his hand, and he pressed it towards the crowd from a distance.

The next second, the light of the teleportation array instantly enveloped everyone.
