After the Walled City Academy won its first victory, other academies also began to take action.
That night, Darcy from the Bridge Pier Academy unexpectedly did not choose to attack the Walled City Academy, but led his members to the north, to the tall tower hidden in the cold wind.
The warhorse was covered in wind-silver iron armor, with a special lance on the saddle. The rider was also fully armed, wearing silver armor and a red cloak with gold edges draped behind his shoulders, which kept undulating in the air as he rode quickly.
Holding shields in their hands, the cavalry formed neat and uniform sharp triangles and advanced rapidly. They went from south to north, upstream, and headed straight for the headquarters of the northern tower.
The cavalry did not carry torches in the dark night. As extraordinary beings, it was not difficult for them to see at night. Only the bright moon in the mountains occasionally peeked out from the dark clouds, reflecting bursts of scaly light on the shields.
At first, the members of the Tower Academy failed to detect the group, as it was already late at night. It wasn't until the cavalry approached the base of one of the towers that they were illuminated by lights. As the remaining tower mages prepared to signal, long, cold iron arrows pierced through them, piercing the hastily prepared mages like hedgehogs. Even though some managed to hide within the tower walls, they were unable to withstand the piercing cold iron arrows. They were pinned to the wall and eliminated.
Normally, a Transcendent's arrow wouldn't be this powerful, but the War Sequence is a unique sequence. If those practicing the same Transcendent class resonate closely, the War Sequence's magical energy can flow between them, forming a common ground or territory, greatly enhancing their strength and enabling them to defeat enemies many times their size.
This is also the reason why, although the war sequence is not strong alone, it is still the mainstream of the armies of various countries. This advantage alone is enough to offset various shortcomings.
As a soldier, he naturally understood the importance of intelligence. Before the competition began, Darcy began sending out various spies from his own academy to understand the situation of each academy.
Although the City Walled City Academy is strong at present, if we just ignore the Tower Academy and let it develop peacefully, the subsequent battles will be very difficult, so he also chose the north as his first target.
Bastion had already been built in front of the headquarters of the Tower Academy. These walls and platforms formed overlapping hexagrams with cross fire. The triangular parts of the walls were also guarded by golems.
With the arrival of this group of cavalry from the south, these golems also started to move, and began to emit bursts of roaring sounds. Pillars of fire poured out from the jet nozzles on their shoulders, trying to block the approaching iron cavalry.
However, the team led by Darcy did not stop at all. This cavalry without siege equipment rushed directly towards the towering prismatic city wall, which frightened the few onlookers.
It only took a dozen seconds for the galloping cavalry to cross a distance of a thousand meters. During this short period of time, the cavalry separated into ranks, and one by one, lightly armored riders wearing sea-blue cloaks stepped forward.
The spell was chanted at high speed, and an icy wind spread forward, sweeping away the snow in the mountains. Then, ice bridges began to form in front of the bastions and city walls. A group of cavalrymen leaped forward on their horses, passed through the walls and ravines, and broke into the tower's garrison.
Jack, in the valley behind the academy, saw the fireworks rising from the horizon, signaling an emergency, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He had never imagined that the southern Pier Academy would be so quick to launch a full-scale cavalry assault. Speed was of the essence in war, and Darcy had used this to the utmost.
Amid the constant ringing of bells and urgent cries, the giant dragon in the valley began to rise into the air and flew directly towards the base on the south side, ready to rescue.
The remaining few magic sequence students began to start up those silent tall machines. Waves of steel roaring sounds began to be heard, and then the earth began to shake.
At the Tower Academy compound, only a few students remained, just over fifty, representing one-third of the total number of contestants. Ten of them transformed into giant dragons, circling the tower, spewing flames. Blazing flames erupted in the darkness. These streams of fire, like a tidal wave, descended upon the cavalry that had leaped over the walls.
However, these Frost Iron Cavalry were not afraid. As blue ripples flashed through the formation, they rushed directly into the sea of fire and then rushed out. Javelins were shot out from the formation and pierced through the wings of the giant dragons.
The giant dragon roared, and bright red, hot dragon blood spilled from the sky, scalding the snow in the mountains into bursts of white smoke. Then, one giant dragon after another fell from the sky. Some fell into the mountain stream beside, some rolled down from the tower and smashed the windows and glass, and some fell directly into the formation, were pierced by the spears, and then thrown to both sides, blood splattered, and then turned into their original forms.
Although the members of the Dragon Order were unable to stop their opponents, they had bought precious time for their side. The sturdy and towering golems formed the final wall, blocking the tower. These golems, driven to their full potential, had bright inscriptions flowing across their bodies, forming a visible barrier in front of them.
The orange barrier resembled a honeycomb, composed of countless hexagons. The radiance within it shone, deflecting, weakening, and even shredding arrows. Facing such a barrier, Darcy's expression grew serious. He had a way to defeat these golems. Whether it was flanking them or having the Ocean Sequence students summon a blizzard to assist, both were possible, but these methods were too time-consuming.
What they are fighting for now is the time difference. The most ideal result is to directly destroy the base of the Tower Academy before the students have fully returned to defend.
