"Definitely." Upon hearing this, the burly man Elizabeth immediately patted her chest and assured him.
"The monsters are coming! Everyone prepare for battle!" Just then, shouts rang out from the city walls. The monsters charging at the forefront had already appeared within the illumination range of the fireflies. They were all low-level monsters of the first or second tier, such as magic rabbits, wild boars, and blue wolves.
These magical beasts are all cannon fodder, driven by higher-level magical beasts. Their main purpose is to draw the town's firepower, deplete the town's human combat resources and energy, and advance the distance from the city walls, paving the way for a more powerful magical beast attack later.
"Archers, fire! Mages, prepare!" The loud shouts of the amplified magic rang out from the city gate tower, directing the soldiers and mercenaries into battle.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Arrows rained down from the city walls and into the town. Archers kept firing arrows from their quivers without needing to aim, nor did they have time to do so.
Illuminated by the giant fireflies, arrows rained down on the densely charging horde of monsters. The monsters at the forefront tumbled and fell, only to be trampled over by the monsters behind them.
The rain of arrows only slightly hindered the charge of the monster horde, which continued to get closer and closer to the city walls.
"Fire mages, cast fire spells! Wind mages, assist with wind spells!" When the monster horde was a hundred meters from the city wall, the amplified command rang out again.
Fire mages stepped forward and unleashed their prepared spells from their magic shields.
The sound of flames burning the air filled the air, and the sky and city walls were illuminated by the crimson flames. Fireballs, fire dragons, and countless low-level fire spells merged together, roaring down from the city walls like a sea of fire falling from the sky.
"Whoosh..." A gale arose, quickly catching up with the sea of fire ahead. With the addition of the wind mage's gale, the sea of fire became even more turbulent and intense, and its range expanded considerably.
The sea of fire landed, instantly igniting the demonic beasts within a hundred meters of the city wall, and the flames, driven by the strong winds, continued to spread to the beasts further back. The demonic beasts' attack also ceased.
"Roar..." A huge tiger's roar echoed from the Demon Beast Forest, and could be heard clearly even on the city walls.
"Moo..." After the tiger's roar, loud bellowing of bulls rang out continuously from behind the horde of magical beasts. Behind the horde, hundreds of magical beasts, four or five meters tall, with water-blue horns on their heads, appeared in the light. Their horns shimmered with a faint blue light. After the bellowing of bulls, the sky changed instantly, and dark clouds gathered.
"Splash..." A torrential downpour fell in an instant, quickly extinguishing the raging fire that was destroying the monsters.
Upon seeing the massive herd of water buffalo, many high-level professionals' expressions changed drastically. "Damn it, it's a herd of seventh-tier magical beasts, the Sky Cloud Water Buffalo, commanded by a super-tier magical beast. Hopefully, that beast isn't too far above its tier."
The torrential rain extinguished the fire, and the once-stopped beast tide surged towards the city walls again.
"Earth mages, set up the barrier. Water mages, raise your water shields. The rest of you, attack freely. High-level mages and archers, watch out for the high-level monsters mixed in with the monster horde. Be careful of their magic and make sure they don't get close to the city walls."
At the command, earthen walls rose before the charging monsters, and craters of varying sizes appeared in the ground. The monsters' advance was immediately halted, and many behind them, unable to see the craters, fell to the ground. Lightning, wind blades, fireballs—all sorts of spells rained down on the monsters ahead, arrows rained down relentlessly, and sharp earthen spikes rose from the ground. Monsters fell one after another. Soon, the ground was covered with their corpses.
The magical beasts were also retaliating against the humans on the city walls. Fireballs, water arrows, earth arrows, and wind blades—these low-level spells constantly flew up the walls, but were all blocked by the prepared water mages manipulating water shields, resulting in negligible casualties. Some of the higher-level magical beasts' spells were also neutralized or deflected by the prepared high-level mages.
"As expected of a world where everyone cultivates, not only is the cooperation between legions good, but the coordination between mages is also very tacit, complementing and supporting each other. However, this world doesn't seem to pay much attention to tactics. Is it because the strong can decide the outcome of the battle, so ordinary tactics are not very useful?" Looking at the response on the city wall, Wang Han nodded.
The two sides have now entered a protracted war of attrition, so Wang Han simply leaned against the battlements of the city wall to watch.
"Flying magical beasts!" A loud shout rang out, and countless dark shadows appeared in the light, rushing straight towards the fireflies that illuminated a range of several hundred meters inside and outside the city walls. Some of the flying magical beasts even unleashed magical attacks on the fireflies.
"All archers, aim at the air! Do not let them get close to the glowing summoned beast!" the general commanding the battle ordered again via amplification magic, his voice filled with urgency. Light was absolutely crucial for defending against the magical beast. Without light, without seeing the beast, the archers' and most mages' abilities would be reduced by at least a third.
'They're quite clever, but my pets aren't just all glowing.' Wang Han chuckled, completely unconcerned about the flying magical beasts attacking the fireflies in the sky.
Elizabeth looked at Wang Han, who was still smiling, and couldn't help but wonder, since which summoner doesn't cry when their summoned beast dies? But she soon understood.
"Zzzzz..." Before the archers could even fire their arrows at the flying monsters in the sky, bursts of lightning crackled around the fireflies. Their original linear formation shifted into a triangular cube, extending the reach of their light. Soon, the lightning on the fireflies interconnected, forming a five-meter-wide triangular lightning shield that stretched across the entire section of the city wall. This shield not only protected all the fireflies, blocking the magic attacks from the flying monsters, but also struck down any approaching monsters, causing a continuous flash of lightning and thunder in the sky.
