Webo Jan Dragimir stood on the right flank, urging the messenger to immediately breach the walls of the Canaanite territory! But to their utter surprise, the enemy's walls were even thicker than those of the empire's capital city!
The massive catapults only left a crater when they hit the wall, a stark contrast to the scenario they had discussed with the Imperial and heretical priests where the catapults would smash a huge hole in the city wall.
If Canaan's walls were sturdy, that would be one thing, but the morale of their soldiers was terrifyingly absurd... Even after two-thirds of their forces collapsed, the soldiers on the walls were still subjected to a double attack by high-ranking troops of Pegasus and Griffin!
Their morale had not yet caused any disturbance or instability. On the contrary, the chosen ones were cursing and shouting at their right-wing troops from the walls!
Webb Jan Draghimir's gaze was gloomy...
Sudden.
He raised his head and looked towards the western sky above the Canaanite city walls...
A vast expanse of dark red and fiery clouds, forming a swirling vortex, was constantly gathering and enveloping the sky!
"What is that?!"
The shepherd leader, Xavier Arthur, exclaimed in shock, "This is bad! The enemy has unleashed high-level magic, and the surrounding magic is being drained like water from a dried-up well!"
"What?"
Lieutenant Lyudmila Emas also exclaimed, "It's a high-level spell!! Immediately order the left flank to disperse!!"
"It's too late."
Webb Jan Dragimier, the commander of the Imperial rebels, stared in shock at the distant sky. "Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck down in the night sky.
In his line of sight, hundreds of enormous meteors were falling diagonally from the sky, crashing down on the left flank of the troops!
"Damn it!!!"
"High-level magic!!"
"Aaaaaah! What is that thing? The other side has a high-level spellcaster!"
High-level spellcasters have always been a nightmare on the battlefield, possessing the ability to turn the tide and deliver a decisive blow. However, they never expected that the resistance they encountered along the way before invading Qiweier City would pose such a threat as high-level magic!
The unexpected scene left everyone bewildered and at a loss.
The commander of the Imperial infantry on the left wing, his entire body covered in heavy chainmail, looked up in disbelief...
Hundreds of enormous meteors, carrying an aura of annihilation, descended from the sky!
He immediately gave the order: "Everyone, scatter!!!! Scatter!!!! Scatter!!!"
"Scatter quickly!!"
One by one, the imperial troops dropped their weapons and flags, fleeing frantically towards the distant "Munishini" forest—the territory of the elves—but it was too late.
Su Yue was equally shocked and said, "Abraham, don't you need any wind-up animations before casting spells?"
Abraham laughed cruelly, “Pre-anchoring? What’s that?”
The Empire's left-wing forces had not yet had time to react.
Then they encountered the horrific destruction of a falling meteor!
Especially at the center where the Imperial Shield infantry were gathered, the first meteor struck, causing chaos and disarray!
"boom!!!"
The imperial infantry officer looked up in disbelief. The next moment, he was struck by the aftershocks of the falling meteor and the terrifying mud rain it had created. His skull was shattered, his arms and torso, and even his armor, were melted and dissolved by the scorching heat, leaving only a half-skeletal frame. Soon, the skeleton was also cremated in the flames...
"Boom! Boom!"
Beside an imperial officer lay countless dead bodies, wails, and shouts. The morale of the imperial troops plummeted, and the infantry began to scatter and flee to the sides! No matter how the mid-level commanders shouted, it was to no avail.
"this!!"
"This...this!!!"
"What...what...!!"
Mibelle stared in shock at the sky above, where Abraham seemed to have snapped his fingers and summoned terrifying fireballs. Nearly 40 to 50 enormous fireballs, trailing long, narrow tails of flame, crashed into the Imperial Army's left flank.
She's a female player in the Dragon Kingdom Canaan Alliance group, so naturally she loves taking photos!
So he immediately took a picture and sent it to Long Qing!
"What the hell is this? High-level magic?"
The massive flames created a deathly ripple, and all 100-plus Imperial infantrymen around them were reduced to ashes beneath the waves of fire.
The aftershocks of the second and third laps... lap after lap of meteor shower shook the earth, causing Mibelle to lose her balance.
Mibelle even saw the Imperial army's mage legion attempting to erect a protective shield—a pale blue magical barrier—that created a zone of survival amidst the falling fire rain!
"Everyone, get inside!!"
"Ahhh, there's a high-level spellcaster in the Canaan territory!!"
With bright eyes, Su Yue watched the meteor burn and said to Abraham, "I'm going to launch the attack."
In his view, this was an excellent opportunity to clean up the mess. Once the Imperial forces' left flank was dealt with, their weaknesses in the center and right flank would be exposed!
Abraham bowed respectfully. Normally, after casting such a high-level, terrifyingly powerful spell, the caster would be weakened and exhausted... but he felt nothing like that. It was as if someone had snapped their fingers and annihilated half of the universe—ruthless, cold-blooded, brutal, and terrifying.
"You'll be credited with the greatest achievement later!"
And at this time...
In the heart of the Empire, troops were jostling and pushing against each other on siege ladders. Not far away, fourth-tier Hawke's long-barreled riflemen were constantly kneeling on one knee, aiming at the defenders on the walls of Canaanite territory, reaping their lives.
The commander of the rebels in the Central Empire was none other than Isaiah Issan, the shepherd of the Eastern Expedition, a heretic who came from a textile worker background in Bruj.
"Hehehe, how could the mere territory of Canaan possibly stop our army of tens of thousands?"
"Sir, the 'lamb' you are looking for has been brought."
"Oh? Let me see."
Isaiah Isan was a filthy, good-for-nothing man who had once been a poor textile worker in Bruj. He was coarse, greedy, and lustful. The only reason he was able to gather together was because of his cunning and smooth talk, which allowed him to occupy a high position in the chaos.
Not only him, but his men were also burning, killing, and looting all the way. While the imperial veterans fought to the death, he was in the middle of the territory commanding his troops while enjoying the service of the "lambs".
"What a beautiful noblewoman! We poor people could never enjoy the daughters of these noble gentlemen!"
He was completely naked from the waist up, and seven or eight girls were sitting around him, looking flustered.
"Lord Isaiah, something terrible has happened!"
"What?"
"The left wing has just unleashed high-level magic. The left wing has been breached by the 300+ Imperial cavalry legion from the Canaanite territory. We are now at risk of being attacked again!!"
"What?! Those left-wing trash, only 300-odd people? What's there to be afraid of? We are the shepherds representing the Eastern Expedition! We are the shepherds, these lost sheep are waiting for our salvation. Quickly send the monastic community to deal with them."
"!!"
At this moment, Su Yue stood beside the three hundred fourth-tier imperial cavalry, the third-tier imperial cavalry, and the sixteen fifth-tier imperial cavalrymen who had penetrated the left flank of the army, along with cavalry instructor Walter Lawrence.
"Is the central commander's position located in the black military camp across the street?"
Walter Lawrence said, "They seem too complacent? There isn't even any decent resistance around; the battle is nothing more than cutting off the enemy's supplies, surgically removing their weak points, and performing the operation of penetration and severance... But their supplies and lines are completely undefended?"
Su Yue laughed and said, "A cowardly commander naturally has cowardly subordinates... Attack! Drag the enemy leader out of the camp and capture him alive."
"yes!!"
Over 300 high-ranking cavalrymen, aided by Su Yue's navigational skills and Europa and Abraham's stealth spells, charged like sharp knives into the rebel camp of the Central Empire!
A large, continuous stretch of barracks served not only as a resting place for the Left-Wing Empire rebels, but also as their temporary encampment for daily life...
"This camp is so crudely set up, it seems they don't intend to linger at the gates of Canaan for long?"
Europa said gently, "Yes, judging from the situation, they probably think the battle won't last more than a week."
"At most four days, they still hadn't unloaded all the supplies from the vehicles used for cooking and logistics..."
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Enemy attack!!"
Su Yue's luminous artifact, Arachni, severed the head of a third-tier imperial heretic with a single sword strike, splattering blood everywhere.
"Turning shields into paper!!" A heretic cast a transformation spell on the artifact Arachnid in Su Yue's hand.
—The ability to turn a shield into paper can temporarily render an enemy's weapon useless!
Then the heretic could escape.
However, when the spell struck Su Yue's artifact "Arachnid," an even more terrifying and surging backlash instantly shattered the heretical mage's magical imprint pathway!
"puff!"
He coughed up blood, and the next moment Su Yue severed his throat with a sword. He clutched his neck and howled in agony as he died in a pile of blood...
Large numbers of cavalry trampled the barracks, and bursts of blinding fire rose up.
"My lord, we have discovered a vast amount of gold and silver treasure!! And...and many beautiful women as well."
"?"
In the darkness, an iron chain dragged a pilgrim, dressed in a black robe, whose face was covered in pockmarks and whose body was covered in bedsores, who was wailing incessantly.
"May I have your name?"
The firelight in the darkness illuminated Su Yue's profile, making him appear incredibly sinister and terrifying, while an overwhelming aura of dominance emanated from him.
“My lord, I am Father Isaiah Ethan, the commander of the Imperial rebel army…”
"priest?"
"Yes!! I am the supreme commander of the Imperial Central Army, sir, please don't kill me, I can give you..."
"puff!!"
Su Yue severed his head with a single sword stroke. In any case, Abraham could manipulate the other's soul at will, and even resurrect him; the soul was in his hands.
What else is needed for interrogation?
"Continue, prepare to break through the core right wing of the Empire."
The left wing was in chaos and on the verge of collapse due to Abraham's high-level spellcasting. Gregory himself was sent out to launch a surprise attack, but ended up cleaning up the main battlefield instead. Idya didn't even show up. Su Yue's strike hit the nail on the head, executing the enemy's central commander and collapsing their command system.
Therefore, the 2,000+ Imperial troops in the central region will be thrown into complete chaos; and the consequences of having their retreat and supply lines cut off will be dire...
"Launch a counter-attack on the central force, surround them, and end the battle as quickly as possible!"
"The trouble now lies on the left wing."
"Try to prevent messages from getting through."
...
Webb Yang Dragimir stared incredulously at the distant rain of fire and meteors. "What happened on the left wing?! A high-level spellcaster?"
"My lord, they have encountered a high-level spellcaster... There has been no reply yet regarding Lord Isaiah Ethan of our main force."
Xavier Arthur frowned and said, "Isaiah Ethan is a war supervisor and a good-for-nothing personally appointed by the Pope. He only knows how to enjoy himself and make money. He is the weakest point that is most likely to be breached."
Isaiah Ethan's words made Webb Yang Dragimir think deeply, and he said, "Break through the right flank of Canaan as soon as possible. How could those damned guys have built such a terrifying thick wall in such a short time!"
The walls of Canaan aren't high, but they're fucking wide!!
It's simply impossible to break through!
A large number of right-wing cavalry were forced to dismount, their enormous sledgehammers slamming into the gates of the Canaanite territory, attempting to breach them. However, the steel gates, reinforced with iron plating, were incredibly strong… they simply couldn't break them open! Let alone a cavalry charge… Forced into a corner, many elite Imperial cavalrymen had no choice but to dismount and join the siege… This was, in the eyes of Webo Jan Dragimier, a distinguished retired Imperial general…
That would be a complete waste of their powerful fresh troops and forces... You must understand, their core objective is not Canaan at all! It's the distant city of Chivel!
Now that they have suffered heavy losses in Canaan, Webo Jan Dragimir doesn't know how to conquer Chivel next.
But even as he was still pondering the city of Chiwell.
Little did they know that Canaan would soon become their final resting place.
